[10:31] <sobersabre> redblades ubuntu server is just a package selection on the regular CD, afaik.
[10:31] <mYth[SeNtiX] > zm0 tried that 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop' didn't stop xfce4

[10:33] <Slinkin> I've tried to mount my firewire harddrive (NTFS) and make it writeable using the fuse-guide, but now I can't even see the files anymore??
[10:33] <Hoxzer_> redblades: I think they arent actually alike...
[10:33] <sobersabre> AbortD , good question. I think the answer is: YES. somebody knows something about wine.
[10:34] <zm0> mYth[SeNtiX] : and you started xfce with startx?
[10:34] <AbortD> well i need help :|
[10:34] <redblades> AbortD, WITH?

[10:35] <yoshiznit123> abortd, around the filename
[10:35] <anxt> is ther elike a network script or something?
[10:35] <yoshiznit123> or what redblades said :-)

[10:37] <massive222> zm0: because i lost my GUI
[10:37] <redblades> I'd say, google for the file, and see if you can't track it down.
[10:37] <Slinkin> help, I can
[10:38] <redblades> massive222, GUIs are for wimps. :P
[10:38] <Slinkin> Help I can't see my ntfs harddrive
[10:38] <massive222> zm0: after executing that
[10:38] <yoshiznit123> abortd, yea and it depends what application you're trying to run. maybe asking #winehq would help too
[10:38] <massive222> redblades: hahahaha
[10:38] <massive222> redblades: i mean gnome desktop
[10:38] <redblades> Oh?
[10:38] <redblades> You lost it?
[10:38] <zm0> massive222: did you restart gdm from within the gui, oops sorry, you should run gdm restart from another vty -> ctrl+alt+f1
[10:38] <k31th> how can i change my username? usermod?
[10:39] <zm0> massive222: just run sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[10:39] <newindo> how i can mount vfat with rw permission for other user
[10:39] <Slinkin> yep
[10:39] <massive222> zm0: in the terminal?
[10:39] <redblades> k31th, I did that a month ago, and I can't remember it, but I do recall that there where hundreds and hundreds of Google results (relevant)
[10:39] <zm0> massive222: yes
[10:39] <mkquist_> slinkin - have u mounted the drive? like in fstab? u might check that..
[10:40] <newindo> how can i mount vfat
[10:41] <Slinkin> mkquist_: Yep, its an external... I tried to make it writeable using fuse, but now i can't even read it
[10:41] <LookTJ> K31th: system -> administration -> users and groups
[10:41] <massive222> zm0: good to know for the next time. because now i went to /etx/X11 and started x
[10:41] <mkquist_> slinkin - im not worth much right now, but that would be my suggestion.. google it and look for something in the ubuntu forums, u can do it, ur settings are just not right
[10:41] <massive222> zm0: and then everything was fucked up
[10:41] <massive222> zm0: i restarted the machine
[10:41] <massive222> zm0:
[10:41] <mkquist_> slinkin - check ur fstab
[10:42] <zm0> mYth[SeNtiX] : i don't know where your xfce4 gets started on boot...maybe look around a bit in your init scripts
[10:42] <massive222> zm0: so i installed the vmtools
[10:42] <massive222> zm0: what should i do next to enhance my resolution
[10:42] <mkquist_> or try using gksudo, to change the settings... alt/f2 fksudo nautilus...
[10:43] <zm0> massive222: now you can change your resolution go to System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution
[10:43] <mkquist_> slinkin - last from me for u

[10:43] <mkquist_> tgksudo....byw
[10:43] <mkquist_> lol...btw
[10:43] <mkquist_> im toast, just a thought
[10:44] <Slinkin> mkquist_: ok but my fstab is right I think I changed the GID and everything the wikiguide said..
[10:44] <massive222> zm0: no i can not, because what you told me before i disconnected, did not completed. so now in pereferences, it still is 1024 my highest resolution
[10:45] <mkquist_> slinkin-well somethings wrong, cause i can mount and 'see' /read my ntfs part, and thats all i changed look further, if was more 'here' id be more specific, sry about that
[10:45] <massive222> zm0: can u see what was it that you told me? the one that i lost my gui with. i should do that again. but i dont have the log anymore
[10:45] <Slinkin> ok. thanks anyway..
[10:45] <zm0> massive222: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart from another vty -> ctrl+alt+f1

[10:48] <zm0> massive222: ctrl+alt+f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 f6 etc..X is on f7 (usually)
[10:48] <Slinkin> mkquist: Ok cool, the problem is not i can't see it.. I could see it from the beginning, but after i've mounted it as a fuse-thing I can't see it.. I need to have read/write access..
[10:49] <massive222> zm0: so when im in ubuntu i shoud press these combination? or shall go to my host OS
[10:50] <zm0> massive222: in ubuntu (guest os)
[10:50] <mkquist_> slinkin - give me a mo... im not 'in the best state' but ive done this... im looking

[11:13] <RudyValencia> Hi; if I say "apt-get install <package>" and my repositories *do not* include the Ubuntu Dapper CD, will the package I get be up-to-date?
[11:13] <rofl0r> so set up your network first ?
[11:13] <Gameplayer> i've got some problems while applying security updates in my ubuntu server, anyone have an idea ?
[11:13] <Gameplayer> (with apt-get upgrade)
[11:13] <rofl0r> RudyValencia, yes
[11:13] <RudyValencia> thanks
[11:14] <AstralJava> Gameplayer: Pastebin the errors you're getting, if there are any, otherwise please elaborate which kind of problems you're having.
[11:14] <Flonares> AstralJava, how do i distingish between build-essential and other?
[11:14] <zm0> massive222: been using linux for 3 years now before and it's my job now too, pick up some o'reilly books.
[11:14] <AstralJava> Flonares: You don't have to, you can mark them all.
[11:15] <Gameplayer> AstralJava :  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22798 and http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22797
[11:15] <Flonares> How do i mark them all at the same time?
[11:15] <Flonares> is there a way?
[11:15] <AstralJava> Flonares: Build-essential is a meta-package that will pull all the needed packages you otherwise missed.
[11:15] <zm0> massive222: just tried vmware-server on an xp pro workstation running a 606 ubuntu guest and ctrl+alt+fX changes the vty
[11:15] <zm0> massive222: what version of vmware are you using?
[11:15] <massive222> 5.5
[11:16] <AstralJava> Flonares: I believe someone already answered that one, just use the search function to find the package, mark it, search another, mark that one as well, and when you're done, hit Apply changes.
[11:16] <massive222> zm0: vmware workstation 5.5.1
[11:17] <AstralJava> Gameplayer: I'm sorry, my French is too rusty. Try #ubuntu-fr (I believe that was it).
[11:17] <zm0> massive222: hmmm, try some other combinations like ctrl+shift+f1 or shifth+alt+f1 or visit the vmware forum
[11:18] <Gameplayer> i'm trying too
[11:18] <rofl0r> is vmware free 4 linux ?
[11:18] <massive222> zm0: i did everything
[11:18] <massive222> zm0: with shift ctrl and alt and fx
[11:18] <zm0> rofl0r: yeah player is free and server too
[11:18] <Gameplayer> the problem is that the download start and then stop afeter diownloading 1 or 2 Ko
[11:18] <massive222> zm0: can i start it from terminal
[11:18] <Gameplayer> and then i got a 'timout connexion'
[11:18] <zm0> massive222: start X? sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[11:20] <AstralJava> Gameplayer: I suggest just try again later. Maybe there was something wrong with the server, or the lines are slow ATM.
[11:21] <Flonares> Thks for your time
[11:21] <massive222> zm0: no, can i start vty form terminal
[11:21] <Flonares> gcc is up ;)
[11:22] <Gameplayer> ok
[11:22] <AstralJava> Flonares: Good to hear that.
[11:22] <Flonares> AstralJava,rofl0r, U're my guru's! thanks ;)
[11:22] <zm0> massive222: not possible i think...
[11:22] <bionoid> Ive been having some weirdo issues with gnome lately - when using it, all is good, but occasionally when I leave the computer for some time, it logs me out automatically (which is fine), but when logging back in, desktop wallpaper settings have vanished, and my launcher buttons are all messed up (in terms of position).. Anyone have similar things going on?!
[11:23] <AbortD> anyone know of a good windows emu for playing mmorpgs?

[11:33] <Laibsch> hi, I have some trouble with drupal on ubuntu.  I forgot to change the initial admin password.  Therefore I wanted to start afresh and purged the package, restarting from scratch.  But alas, something must be left over since drupal does not present me with the page to create an admin account which it does on a fresh install.  What shall I do?
[11:37] <oskude> Laibsch: you can install it from their "official" .tar.gz packages... no need to apt-get install php apps... but you could look if the mysql tables are empty for drupal...
[11:37] <Laibsch> oskude: Thanks, I will try that.
[11:38] <Genscher> hey :)
[11:39] <Genscher> my friend said that "actually i like linux (ubuntu) more than MSW. it's so clear and easy accessable"
[11:39] <Genscher> he never used linux before and even didn't know what a shell is
[11:39] <Genscher> :)
[11:40] <Genscher> and that's he using ubuntu on a laptop
[11:41] <Genscher> only a few things he found weird: 1. when adding a user in "user management", he couldn't delete it after it...pressing delete is fine, but the user doesn't get deleted
[11:41] <Genscher> maybe some gnome/ubuntu bug
[11:41] <GreenMan> hello people
[11:42] <GreenMan> would somebody help me configuring network in ubuntu?
[11:42] <Genscher> another thing is, that he like to have VLC autoplaying his dvd's. where can he/I change the settings so vls is started instead of the totem dvd player to autoplay dvd's?
[11:42] <Genscher> (couldn'd find a menu for it)
[11:42] <Genscher> GreenMan: "normal" network is plug-and-play
[11:43] <GreenMan> Heh i plug it but cannot play :)
[11:43] <rambo3> right-clicking on a dvd file  in Nautilus and choose "Properties" and changing the default preferred program there.
[11:43] <Genscher> nautilus, ok, never saw that
[11:44] <Genscher> thank you
[11:44] <Genscher> is nautilus the "filesystem-browser"?
[11:44] <sonny> i delete my task list i want to find it back how can i find it?
[11:44] <rambo3> yes
[11:44] <oskude> Genscher: nautilus is the (graphical) filemanager in ubuntu... so you propably see it daily...
[11:44] <Genscher> ah thank you!
[11:45] <Genscher> ok, now i only need to install a wlan driver to disable the wlan device :)
[11:45] <Genscher> because it's active the whole time searching for network it seems...
[11:45] <GreenMan> i have Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC and some acces point for wireless on my roof
[11:46] <GreenMan> eth0 is enabled but i still can't connect to internet
[11:46] <Genscher> GreenMan: ok, wireless is not plug and play..but that wireless, not "normal" network :D
[11:46] <GreenMan> Ok

[11:49] <oskude> !root > lodder_
[11:50] <illusia-ru> lodder_ use account which you made and use sudo
[11:50] <rambo3> ubuntu server install cd should have root account
[11:50] <rambo3> !root
[11:50] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[11:50] <Healot> it's no right...
[11:50] <Genscher> lodder_: you have to give root a password
[11:50] <Genscher> "sudo passwd"
[11:50] <Healot> s/no/not

[11:51] <Pierric1> I'm trying to install an ubuntu Amd64 arch on a Intel core 2 duo, is that possible ?
[11:51] <Genscher> Pierric1: try the live cd...
[11:51] <Genscher> and you'll see
[11:51] <Pierric1> It boots, but stop during the File System mounting
[11:51] <Healot> Pierric1: very possible
[11:52] <kaolti> nobody has done this?
[11:52] <Pierric1> it says : "Can't access tty, job control turned off"
[11:52] <Genscher> intel bought the amd64 technology
[11:53] <Healot> they rebrand it as EMt64?
[11:53] <Healot> i don't much about geek business politics

[12:00] <Pierric1> I download : http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/ubuntu-cdimage/6.06/ubuntu-6.06.1-desktop-amd64.iso, isn't correct ?

[12:01] <Pierric1> ubuntu-6.06.1-desktop-i386 is not the live cd ?
[12:01] <Genscher> using as cd or inside vmware or something?
[12:01] <Genscher> Pierric1: should be correct
[12:02] <oskude> Pierric1: all *desktop* images are "livecd"s
[12:02] <Pierric1> yes
[12:02] <Pierric1> That's the first time I encourage some problems
[12:02] <Genscher> problems oculd appear maybe when installing ubuntu and then switching to core 2 duo..but never tested
[12:03] <Pierric1> yeah
[12:03] <Genscher> but livecd shouldn work
[12:03] <Genscher> weird  thing.
[12:03] <Genscher> sounds like a bug
[12:03] <Pierric1> maybe
[12:03] <Pierric1> dont know
[12:04] <Genscher> me either...only have amd.

Is that why it doesn't work for me? And has anyone had experience using ndiswrapper with the dlink dwl-g510 card successfully?
[12:04] <Genscher> @ Pierric1: would be nice test
[12:04] <Pierric1> Ok I come back so after this test

[12:05] <oskude> CorpseFeeder: just a quess, is the chip version the same as in the tutorial ? (as the manufacturers like to change chips even in same product:/)
[12:05] <kaolti> can anybody help me set up internet connection sharing?
[12:06] <zm0> kaolti, what's the problem? are you configuring your ubuntu box as a router?
[12:06] <oskude> kaolti: got 2 network cards ? (or does that work with one nic?)
[12:07] <kaolti> heres the setup:
[12:07] <CorpseFeeder> well, i can't see the chip cos it has that big metal plate soldered over the card with a logo on it.. but the hardware version on PCB is C2
[12:07] <kaolti> i have a box with ubuntu connected to internet with eth1 and connected to a winxp box with eth0
[12:07] <kaolti> firestarter running on ubuntu
[12:07] <kaolti> set up correctly
[12:07] <zm0> kaolti, did you enable ip forwarding on the ubuntu box?
[12:08] <kaolti> echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward?
[12:08] <oskude> kaolti: isnt firestarter just a personal firewall ? (hasnt anything to do with routing)
[12:08] <zm0> kaolti: yes
[12:08] <s1mp-le_m4n> sharing printer on dapper to xp home network...?
[12:08] <kaolti> oskude: it can also share internet connections
[12:08] <CorpseFeeder> The tutorial says it's for version REv C of the card, and mine is C2 so I figure it can't be that different can it?
[12:08] <oskude> kaolti: ok...
[12:08] <kaolti> echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward doesnt work when i open ip_forward its still empty
[12:09] <Grok_> i have ubuntu 6.06 installed on this laptop and connecting to the inet with a realtek wireless card. i just installed ubuntu on an older laptop using the alt. cd (128mb ram) and it will load the drivers for this same card but will not get an ip addy from the router. i'm using the same interfaces file. any suggestions?
[12:09] <AbortD> how do i accept a send in xchat?
[12:09] <oskude> CorpseFeeder: well, if it wasnt different, then there wouldnt be another revision ?
[12:09] <zm0> kaolti: what does 'cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward' return (run from a root shell sudo -s)
[12:09] <anxt> ok i have all these dependencies

[12:11] <zm0> kaolti: from the xp machine you can ping the ubuntu box?

[12:16] <Pierric1> OK mooky, when I boot on Gentoo Minimal CD, it says : the root block device is unspecified or not detected
[12:16] <zm0> kaolti: on the xp box try to ping google by ip not by name, maybe it's a dns issue
[12:16] <krisg> how can i install ubuntu CD desktop on a commandline dualboot with windows xp? my computer loads slow when ready on CD + Gnome
[12:16] <Pierric1> so maybe the hard disck problem
[12:16] <zm0> RogerRabb: sudo mii-tool
[12:17] <RogerRabb> no MII interfaces found
[12:17] <CorpseFeeder> ok.. when I put the version C2 card in a windows machine, it tells me that it is a Rev C card with RT61 chipset, so it must be the one they say will work in ubuntu on that page I was looking at... but it doesn't :(
[12:17] <zm0> RogerRabb: sudo mii-tool ethYourInterface
[12:18] <RogerRabb> yes.. I get SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth0' failed: Operation not supported

[12:29] <kaolti> zm0: +i still cant understand why i can see the "1" with cat and cant see it with gedit
[12:29] <dsas> misieq: Unless someone does a backport gnome 2.16 won't be coming to dapper
[12:29] <mooky> I don't need to hear that sort of language, more so for no reason
[12:29] <kaolti> zm0: yes manually
[12:29] <anxt> mooky: you prolly wont for a time freom me
[12:29] <AlexC> Cos I have created an Open Source CMS, I've put 4-5 months of solid hard work into it, It would be nice to get something from it other than a pat on the back =)
[12:29] <dsas> AlexC: Yes, under nearly all free licences probably (and at least all licences that debian blesses)
[12:29] <RogerRabb> zm0 just eth0 and loopback
[12:29] <anxt> mooky: do you have an answer?
[12:30] <tanek> Hi, when i apt-get update i get Ign: before some repos. How do i get it to not ign(ignore i assume) them? Thx
[12:30] <dsas> AlexC: What license did you use?
[12:30] <mooky> use the debian packages
[12:30] <mooky> is the answer
[12:30] <anxt> this is more hooped than debian
[12:30] <dsas> AlexC: And beware that my advice is not lawyer advice :)
[12:30] <AlexC> dsas, well at the moment it's under GPL - hehe yeh I know
[12:30] <mooky> myth doesn't appear to be knocking around for ubuntu
[12:30] <RogerRabb> is there a guide on network performance for ubuntu - trying to get better speeds from my gigabit
[12:30] <zm0> kaolti: i'll have a look where you can put it to make it permanent...
[12:30] <mooky> I moved my mythbox to fc5 due to lack of pakcaging
[12:30] <mooky> packaging
[12:30] <AlexC> dsas, I just can't see how something can be OpenSource and sold.....they sort of contradict themselves I think
[12:30] <anxt> mooky: can you suggest sources.list additions?
[12:30] <kaolti> zm0: ok thanks
[12:31] <dsas> AlexC: Yeah you can sell your program under your GPL, you must either accompany it with the source, or with an offer to give the source at a later date.
[12:31] <zm0> RogerRabb: so 'sudo mii-tool eth0' returns the operation not permitted error
[12:31] <mooky> anxt not of the top of my head, if you search for them in debian and debian-amd64 repo's they are there
[12:31] <redloff> Hi, how can I map remote lpt port to my local /dev/lp0 device? (I need it for HASP hardware key)
[12:31] <mooky> there is also a good source deb that you can use to rebuild for ubnutu
[12:31] <mooky> ubuntu
[12:31] <misieq> dsas: there was this little app/script konstruct-like the was sth like garnome, can i use it to build 2.16 from source on dapper?
[12:31] <AlexC> dsas, well the source would _have_ to go with it, it's all PHP/HTML
[12:31] <anxt> mooky: i am safe to add debain repos to sources.luist?
[12:31] <RogerRabb> nope, it returns a not supported error..
[12:31] <RogerRabb>  sudo mii-tool eth0
[12:31] <RogerRabb> SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth0' failed: Operation not supported
[12:31] <mooky> I wouldn't say "safe"
[12:31] <mooky> I'd get the source deb
[12:31] <mooky> and rebuild
[12:31] <dsas> AlexC: You're cool on that then, see also http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DoesTheGPLAllowMoney
[12:31] <mooky> personally
[12:32] <dsas> misieq: Yeah you should be able to build it from source, I've not tried personally though.
[12:32] <anxt> rebuild == upgrade?
[12:32] <anxt> i was trying to avoid complining
[12:32] <mooky> no, rebuild the package
[12:32] <AlexC> dsas, But, I thought the GPL ment that anyone can Freely ( speach adn beer ) edit the source code and re-distrubte it - so does that mean if someone Buys my CMS - They can Legaly give it to others?
[12:32] <anxt> ok
[12:32] <zm0> RogerRabb: i can't help you i guess it's not supported :-) what type of network card is it?
[12:32] <dsas> AlexC: yes
[12:32] <mooky> thre is no pre-built package
[12:32] <anxt> maybe i will gentoo afterall
[12:33] <mooky> so you can either force debian, or rebuild for ubuntu
[12:33] <mooky> the source deb does build for ubuntu
[12:33] <RogerRabb> zm0 an on board nforce 4 gigabit nic
[12:33] <klerfayt> can I have 1280x800 bootsplash?
[12:33] <anxt> build as in compile?
[12:33] <mooky> yes, but not "make; make install" build as in build into an ubuntu package
[12:34] <zm0> kaolti: found it: in /etc/sysctl.conf you can uncomment #net/ipv4/ip_forward=1
[12:35] <anxt> mooky: so i got an xubuntu installed, i can ficks it or should i install debian
[12:35] <kaolti> zm0:done.thanks again
[12:35] <RogerRabb> zm0 okay.. do you know where I can configure the various features of the network card - jumbo packets etc?
[12:36] <mooky> anxt you can either force the debian p-ackage to install - or rebuild the package from the source deb to make an ubuntu deb
[12:37] <anxt> wow this was so blindingly easy
[12:37] <anxt> onw i am lost
[12:37] <anxt> apte-get compile ?
[12:37] <mooky> no - check the wiki for how to build source .debs
[12:37] <anxt> ok
[12:37] <anxt> actually i am done
[12:38] <anxt> gentoo time
[12:38] <anxt> at least i know how to use it
[12:38] <zm0> RogerRabb: i have no experience with setting options for the nvnet driver
[12:40] <RogerRabb> there isn't some standard palce to set eth settings - like jumbo frames
[12:40] <scheuri> hi all
[12:40] <scheuri> !tell scheuri about backports
[12:41] <zm0> RogerRabb: yes you can put them in /etc/modprobe.d/<yourdrivername>
[12:41] <zm0> RogerRabb: but the options are driver specific...are you using the nvnet driver? lsmod |grep nvnet
[12:42] <tobs> hi
[12:43] <sam-sarnie> Hello.  I'm having probelms with DVD's and css.  My DVD won't playback (in any player).  I have installed libdvdread and libdvdcss2 and am still having probelms.  Can anyone help?
[12:43] <CorpseFeeder> quick question? how do I save a text file wihle in vi and how do I quit vi?
[12:43] <RogerRabb> nope not using the nvnet driver zm0
[12:43] <CromagDK> :r
[12:43] <CromagDK> doh
[12:43] <CromagDK> :w
[12:43] <CromagDK> and :q
[12:43] <CromagDK> for vi
[12:43] <Raging_Hog> you can also do :wq
[12:44] <CromagDK> and :wq!
[12:44] <CromagDK> this is NOT in edit mode
[12:44] <Raging_Hog> yes, you have to press ESC first
[12:45] <CromagDK> i use another editor wich i find easier but i belive its up to ppl
[12:45] <CorpseFeeder> ok.. i got it sorted
[12:45] <CromagDK> good
[12:45] <scheuri> question concerning backports: If I have the line in sources.list does my searches and install automatically use the newest (which probably is in backports) or do I need to do something special for this?
[12:45] <shut-> :( 15mins and i go back to school :P
[12:46] <RogerRabb> zm0 looks like I'm using the default forcedeth driver
[12:46] <CromagDK> scheuri: if its in the backports then its quite right
[12:46] <CromagDK> if you have made the apt-get update
[12:46] <CromagDK> but overall: yes
[12:46] <scheuri> CromagDK: okay...thanks...so it is not quite obvious for me if I make an aptitude update where it actually comes from...normal repos or backports, right?
[12:46] <sam-sarnie> join #tovid
[12:47] <CromagDK> yes
[12:47] <scheuri> CromagDK: thanks...
[12:47] <CromagDK> np
[12:47] <scheuri> so it seems samba 3.0.23a is NOT yet packaged...
[12:48] <sam-sarnie> Hello.  I'm having probelms with DVD's and css.  My DVD won't playback (in any player).  I have installed libdvdread and libdvdcss2 and am still having probelms.  Can anyone help?  Please!  I'm failry new to ubuntu.
[12:48] <zm0> RogerRabb: check this out http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nforce/1.0-0310/ReleaseNotes.html you can put options like force_speed_duplex=4 for 100Mbps/Full
[12:48] <RogerRabb> on gigabit, not 100mbit ;)
[12:48] <RogerRabb> I'm getting aroun 12MB/s when grabbing stuff from a windows box on the network
[12:48] <zm0> RogerRabb: just an example...
[12:49] <zm0> RogerRabb: 9 = gigabit full duplex
[12:49] <RogerRabb> excellent
[12:50] <carp3> Hi, I have Installed Fedora but now i have only Windows and Feodra on GRUB ! Where is UBUNTU ? :(
[12:51] <RogerRabb> hmm doesn't mention setting up jumbo frames
[12:52] <RogerRabb> oh mtu.. duh
[12:52] <RogerRabb> cheers zm0.. Anyway I can install that without rebooting?
[12:53] <RogerRabb> I absolutely loathe rebooting for anything
[12:53] <rem__> .
[12:54] <zm0> RogerRabb: stop networking: /etc/init.d/networking stop then rmmod forcedeth and modprobe forcedeth <your_options)
[12:54] <zm0> RogerRabb:...and start networking again /etc/init.d/networking start
[12:56] <RogerRabb> k, cool
[12:56] <RogerRabb> modprobe forcedeth? I thought I need to replace with nvnet
[12:58] <RogerRabb> oh sudo ethtool eth0 gives me my speed..
[12:58] <zm0> RogerRabb: there is no nvnet in your ubuntu kernel
[12:58] <Hoxzer_> AAREGSh /me lost his mind with ts2(+multipleSounds)
[12:59] <RogerRabb> right.. so need to instal it?
[12:59] <zm0> RogerRabb: no just use your forcedeth with the options
[01:00] <andy_> how do i copy files into \?
[01:00] <zm0> RogerRabb: :-) ethtool...forgot about that one!
[01:00] <lodder_> question i want to install mailscanner but i see it's a very old version is there for ubuntu not a newer version ?
[01:01] <andy_> how do i copy files into \?
[01:01] <scheuri> is there a \?
[01:02] <RogerRabb> okay, how can I pass the mtu as an option in forcedeth - I go from the nvnet guide you pasted?
[01:02] <andy_> \ meaning the System folder thing
[01:02] <cope_oz> andy_ try sudo cp <file> \.
[01:02] <fiveiron> will gnome 2.16 be added to repositories for dapper?
[01:02] <andy_> \ = FileSystem
[01:02] <fiveiron> or will that be an edgy thing?
[01:02] <scheuri> that would be / ;)
[01:02] <andy_> oh sorry
[01:02] <andy_> scheuri, how do i copy files into there?
[01:02] <scheuri> no worries...:)
[01:02] <cope_oz> andy_, i just told u
[01:02] <andy_> cope_oz, where?
[01:02] <scheuri> andy_: do you use CLI (command line interface) or a GUI (graphical user interface such as Gnome, KDE, etc.)
[01:03] <cope_oz> andy_, sudo cp a.txt /.
[01:03] <fasdfasdf> where does sun-java-jdk install?
[01:03] <fasdfasdf> i need the directory for tomcat
[01:03] <cope_oz> fasdfasdf, type whereis java
[01:04] <fasdfasdf> cope_oz: tried it
[01:04] <andy_> cope_oz, sudo cp FolderName /            ------ will that work?
[01:04] <cope_oz> fasdfasdf, it'll give you the working dirs of java
[01:04] <cope_oz> andy_, you need to specify a file
[01:04] <fasdfasdf> cope_oz: but none of that is the right one
[01:04] <andy_> cope_oz, what if its folders
[01:04] <cope_oz> fasdfasdf, ?? they have to be, it'll show every instance of java
[01:04] <drewfus> is there any way to uses the itunes store on ubuntu dapper?
[01:04] <scheuri> andy_: "cp" is the right command...but if you want to copy a folder you need to add parameters to that command
[01:04] <cope_oz> andy_, type cp --help
[01:04] <Laibsch> Hi, I wanted to restart exim.  It fails because port 25 is taken by another program.  "telnet localhost 25" greets me with the following message "220 MyComp ESMTP Exim 4.60 Thu, 07 Sep 2006 13:01:47 +0200".  dpkg -l and apt-cache search did not reveal the culprit.  Package esmtp is not installed.
[01:05] <fasdfasdf> cope_oz: ill check for typos
[01:05] <SmokeyD> I all, is it possible to tell apt manually that some dependency has already been fulfilled. I installed a program from source (compiled it myself) and want to install other software through apt that depends on this software.
[01:05] <SmokeyD> I=Hi
[01:05] <zm0> RogerRabb: just try the options in the release notes: modprobe forcedeth force_speed_duplex=9 mtu=bla
[01:05] <RogerRabb> have a look at banshee drewfus - mimmicks itunes features and such.. amarok is similiar but much more powerful.. I'm not sure but you may be able to get itunes running on wine
[01:05] <RogerRabb> thanks zm0, appreciate it :)
[01:05] <zm0> RogerRabb: np :-)
[01:06] <andy_> cope_oz, still need help
[01:06] <fasdfasdf> cope_oz: no typos,tomcat tells me that the directory should point to jdk not jre
[01:06] <scheuri> fasdfasdf: you have the jdk actually installed?
[01:06] <fasdfasdf> scheuri: of course
[01:06] <motin_> hi, all - searching for a program that will control excactly what programs are allowed network access, capping of their bandwidth on individual level and also displaying a good overview of network usage. trying to limit my mobile internet costs... do you have any advice on the matter? google doesnt really show too much..
[01:06] <cope_oz> andy_, type cp --help, that'll give you a list of parameters, i'm not going to write it for you, come back with a question
[01:07] <fasdfasdf> scheuri: sun-java5-jdk
[01:07] <scheuri> fasdfasdf: sorry, just asking to make sure...
[01:07] <fasdfasdf> scheuri: no problem :)
[01:07] <cope_oz> fasdfasdf, uhmmm.. give me a sec, pm me i'll find it for you
[01:07] <fasdfasdf> cope_oz: thank you!
[01:08] <zm0> Laibsch: sudo netstat -pat to look wich process is listening on port 25
[01:12] <reiki> can't seem to figure out how to traceroute in Ubuntu. I keep getting command not found
[01:12] <kaolti> where can i get gcc?
[01:12] <cope_oz> kaolti, sudo apt-get install build-essentials
[01:12] <zm0> reiki: sudo apt-get install traceroute
[01:12] <reiki> kaolti, apt-get install build-essentials
[01:13] <kaolti> :) thanks
[01:13] <zm0> kaolti: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[01:13] <zm0> :-)
[01:13] <scheuri> reiki: aptitude install traceroute
[01:13] <scheuri> dont use apt-get...use aptitude...
[01:13] <reiki> hmmm.... ok.... I thought that was such a standard tool it would be there by default.... oops
[01:13] <Laibsch> zm0: Thanks.  I did as you suggested.  I grepped for 25 but did not find any listening connection.  telnet to localhost 25 works fine.
[01:14] <treedreamer> what does the message " there are differences between boot section and its back up " mean ? the message showed up when the system was booting up
[01:14] <cope_oz> treedreamer, not sure, but it might mean your boot record has changed???
[01:14] <rambo3> reiki doesnt traceroute come with network tools system menu in ubuntu
[01:15] <kaolti> rambo3: it does
[01:15] <zm0> Laibsch: grep for 'smtp' or netstat -patn
[01:15] <scheuri> rambo3: its actually a stand alone packet...at least you can install it by "aptitude install traceroute"
[01:16] <rambo3> that wasnt the wuestion scheuri
[01:16] <treedreamer> cope_oz:it occurs many times ,thought it affect nothing
[01:16] <scheuri> rambo3: sorry...
[01:17] <treedreamer> cope_oz:i just want to know if i should do something about it or just ignore
[01:17] <cope_oz> treedreamer, uhmm strange, no idea man... best ask it on the forums, one of the more experienced nix geeks would know
[01:17] <treedreamer> cope_oz:oh ,thanks anyway
[01:17] <cope_oz> treedreamer, it could be a security warning, or it could be a system check.. i have no idea.. whats google say?
[01:18] <treedreamer> cope_oz:i googled it someday ago ,but found  nothings really helpful
[01:19] <caci> treedreamer: it's on a vfat partition?
[01:19] <reiki> you guys will love this.... I have a Microsoft IP address trying to gain admin access on my message boards. :)
[01:19] <treedreamer> cope_oz:yes
[01:19] <treedreamer> cope_oz:what is dosfsck?
[01:20] <treedreamer> cope_oz: a dos filesystem check:
[01:20] <treedreamer> ??
[01:20] <nataraj_> hi friends. i have some problem when ubuntu checks the other filesystems, while booting
[01:20] <cope_oz> treedreamer, type man dosfsck
[01:21] <treedreamer> cope_oz:ok
[01:21] <burhan> nataraj_: problem like what?
[01:21] <nataraj_> i don't know what's causing it. i think it's the fedora installation i have on another partition
[01:21] <cope_oz> brb
[01:22] <nataraj_> it says, the copy in the boot sector is diff. or something like that
[01:22] <nataraj_> i tried changing fstab in fedora, but that didn't work
[01:23] <burhan> nataraj_: what is the exact error?
[01:24] <Jell-O-Fishi> hi. anybody know the name of the package or where i can download the source of the ubuntu installer ?
[01:24] <massive222> zm0: are you back
[01:24] <massive222> zm0: can you help me with the vty? is it possible that i have to install something to be able to use that
[01:25] <nataraj_> when it boots, it checks the filesystems and prints some hex values and says there is a diff btwn. the boot sector and it's backup
[01:26] <wthww> hello all
[01:26] <brianski> why does ubuntu have devel versions of nano?
[01:27] <brianski> they break more than one feature for me :(
[01:27] <RogerRabb> umm would someone know how I could with regex search for all occurances of "< unknown length of text here >" and remove it from a file?
[01:28] <nataraj_> yeah and it also says there is an error in the checksum for 2 files, 1 & 8.html..  and says there's something wrong with the filenames
[01:28] <nataraj_> i am sorry burhan i don't know what's happening
[01:28] <AlexC> RogerRabb, I only know the PHP Syntax, but it would be somethign like this: preg_replace( "/<[A-Za-z0-9] +>] \", "", $text );
[01:29] <AlexC> woops /<[A-Za-z0-9] +>] /
[01:29] <Farrier> My connection is pretty awful, and wget is dying when it tries to reconnect: "Data connection: Connection timed out; Segmentation fault"
[01:29] <massive222> anyone knows anything about vty
[01:29] <AlexC> RogerRabb, Woops - I mean this: /<[A-Za-z0-9] +>/
[01:30] <daan> hi
[01:30] <Farrier> AlexC: You program like I do: by iterative improvement :)
[01:30] <RogerRabb> oh so the + means unknown length?
[01:30] <AlexC> Farrier, =) RogerRabb Yers
[01:31] <Dimensions> hi what is the disconnect script for wvdial
[01:31] <npster> I didn't know that ubuntu is so THE SAME like debian. It is just the gnome theme that is changed !!!
[01:31] <treedreamer> just now i tried "sudo dosfsck /dev/hda1 " and got a message : " sudo dosfsck /dev/hda1
[01:31] <treedreamer> dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN
[01:31] <treedreamer> There are differences between boot sector and its backup.
[01:31] <treedreamer> Differences: (offset:original/backup)
[01:32] <RogerRabb> AlexC how about umm other characters such as - " " ' ' ( ) ! @ # $ % ^ & *  _ =?
[01:32] <treedreamer> it asks me to " Copy original to backup
[01:32] <treedreamer> 2) Copy backup to original
[01:32] <treedreamer> 3) No action
[01:32] <treedreamer> "
[01:32] <treedreamer> what should i do ?
[01:32] <treedreamer> any idea??
[01:32] <PathagenX> ignore it
[01:32] <PathagenX> I have the same problem
[01:33] <PathagenX> try fsck.vfat /dev/disk
[01:33] <PathagenX> try fsck.vfat -a /dev/disk
[01:33] <PathagenX> gotta remember the -a
[01:33] <PathagenX> and unmount it first
[01:33] <treedreamer> PathagenX:what are these messages mean?
[01:33] <nataraj_> treedreamer: while booting does it take a lot of time while checking the other filesystems on your disk?
[01:34] <treedreamer> nataraj_: yes
[01:34] <Jell-O-Fishi> answering my own question : ubiquity
[01:34] <nataraj_> Ah.. then we be 2 victims of maybe the same problem
[01:34] <gnomefreak> nataraj_: treedreamer is acpi enabled?
[01:34] <treedreamer> nataraj_: i once searched the web but found nothing helpful
[01:34] <nataraj_> yes acpi is enabled
[01:35] <PathagenX> treedreamer: unmount the disk
[01:35] <treedreamer> gnomefreak: sorry i am new to linux  ,but what is acpi?
[01:35] <treedreamer> PathagenX:then??
[01:35] <PathagenX> treedreamer: then run sudo fsck.vfat -a /dev/hda
[01:36] <Dimensions> hi what is the disconnection script for wvdial ?
[01:36] <Farrier> Question: My connection is pretty awful, and wget is dying when it tries to reconnect: "Data connection: Connection timed out; Segmentation fault" - any ideas how I can prevent this crash?
[01:36] <treedreamer> PathagenX: unmount it and run sudo fsck .vfat -a /dev/hda?
[01:36] <AlexC> RogerRabb, It would probably be better to do this then           /"<[^] +>/"
[01:36] <PathagenX> acpi is like apm but newer. It is a way for hardware and software to control the power usage of your computer.
[01:36] <nataraj_> while checking the filesystems, it suddenly leaves the gui and i think prints the memory locations where the boot sector and it's backup are diff.
[01:36] <treedreamer> PathagenX: ok
[01:36] <PathagenX> treedreamer: sudo fsck.vfat -a /dev/hda
[01:37] <AlexC> RogerRabb, the ^ means anything that is NOT this - for example /"<[^A-Z] +>/" would find anything that isn't A-Z
[01:37] <AlexC> RogerRabb, so I think [^]  would select everything ... Im not regex expet though
[01:37] <treedreamer> PathagenX: acpi is short for what?
[01:37] <linuxd00d> hi guys
[01:37] <AlexC> s/expet/expert
[01:37] <RogerRabb> hmm cool.. I'll give it a shot AlexC thanks
[01:37] <PathagenX> i unno.. Advanced Control Power Interface?
[01:37] <vincenz> Hello
[01:37] <gnomefreak> PathagenX: -? yes that is right

[01:38] <yacek19> hi
[01:38] <Laibsch> zm0: Thanks for helping.  Looks like I was experiencing https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/exim4/+bug/48045 exim will not stop on dapper if told to.
[01:38] <Farrier> RogerRabb: if you want everything, use "/<.+>/" - but you do NOT want everything, you want "/<[^>] +>/"
[01:38] <nataraj_> AlexC: it's not acpi?
[01:38] <yacek19> how to check list of installed packages?
[01:39] <Laibsch> yacek19: sudo dpkg -l |grep ii
[01:39] <PathagenX> no. ACPI problems are more annoying
[01:39] <gnomefreak> yacek19: dpkg -l
[01:39] <yacek19> thanks
[01:39] <AlexC> nataraj_, huh?
[01:39] <treedreamer> PathagenX: thanks very much
[01:39] <Farrier> RogerRabb: or "/<[^>] *>/" if you also want to match the empty "<>"
[01:39] <PathagenX> np :}
[01:40] <massive222> zm0: please continue helping
[01:40] <nataraj_> AlexC: forget it. just tried to joke. :'( hehe
[01:40] <massive222> Does anyone knows anything about vmware tools
[01:40] <Farrier> Another way to write it is with a minimal match: "/<.*?>/" :)
[01:40] <Ramunas> where can I find some info on installing ati drivers?
[01:40] <gnomefreak> !ati > Ramunas
[01:41] <gnomefreak> Ramunas: in your pm from ubotu
[01:41] <jreidelbach> can someone please give me the apt-get line to install gnucash?

[01:41] <vincenz> I've been wanting to secure my pc and get it better configured, by having encryption on my documents, fetchmail instead of thunderbird for fetching mail, and other stuff.  The problem is that I'm not very able with any of tehse so I thought perhaps I should try experimenting with this setup on a virtual machine, any thoughts
[01:41] <gnomefreak> Ramunas: it might be a bit before you get it
[01:41] <Ramunas> gnomefreak: thanks
[01:41] <gnomefreak> Ramunas: yw
[01:41] <Farrier> PathagenX... damn, you found me :)

[01:41] <marlun> When I install apps with apt-get will it know when there are upgrade available or is that only a synaptic feature?

[01:42] <huerta> ola
[01:42] <PathagenX> I have been hunting you, over hill and dale. I have tramped many a jungle but finally I meet you face to face and tell you what it is that I have quested till now to do so... "You always looked horrible in red."
[01:43] <Hagbarddenstore> How do I switch user by using sudo ?
[01:43] <Lysit> is security.ubuntu.com down?
[01:43] <finalbeta> kaolti, not nessesairely. Could be any connection to your IP.
[01:43] <Farrier> PathagenX: Dang! And I just dyed my beard, and bought myself a new red dress, too :)
[01:44] <PathagenX> I's a small internet. o.o
[01:44] <archangelpetro> :D how are you today mr PathagenX? :) well i hope
[01:44] <PathagenX> I am good arch. and you?
[01:44] <RogerRabb> thanks Farrier. I don't suppose you could link me to a top guide on regex - I've been meaning to get a greater understanding of it for a long time?
[01:44] <archangelpetro> very well :D
[01:44] <kaolti> finalbeta: yes well i have a few from irc,gaim,but most of them are ips from different countries trying ports like 53664,6690,1026
[01:44] <leonard> is there anyone who could perhaps be able to help me with mounting my sata hard drives, im having much trouble
[01:45] <kaolti> *56690
[01:45] <PathagenX> I love the *ubuntu community and I love being able to share my meager experience with problem thwumping.
[01:45] <Farrier> RogerRabb: I learned all I know from the perl camel book, but that's probably not a great place to start I'm afraid, unless you want to learm perl too!
[01:45] <leonard> hehe
[01:45] <leonard> yer i just started usin it like last week
[01:45] <Hagbarddenstore> Any one knowing on howto switch user by sudo ?
[01:45] <x1nto> guys can somebody explain me ident2 ? :/
[01:46] <Farrier> Question: Since my wget keeps dying with segfault, I am trying "while [ 1 ] ;do wget -c -T 10 -i apt_get_list -t 0; sleep 1;done" - however, I would prefer to cure the segfault, if anyone has any clue why it might be happenning?
[01:46] <x1nto> I need it to connect to a bouncer
[01:46] <PathagenX> sudo adduser <do all that>
[01:46] <dionys> :)
[01:46] <PathagenX> then sudo login
[01:46] <PathagenX> you may not have to sudo the login
[01:46] <treedreamer> PathagenX: can i have a pm with you ?
[01:46] <npster> How do I delete  /usr/lib/RealPlayer
[01:46] <RogerRabb> Farrier haha, well maybe.. After doing c# and such for a few years I've started venturing into python.. so I'll look for regex in python ;)
[01:46] <Hagbarddenstore> PathagenX: Not that... I have the user and all tha... it's something like sudo -r user and something more..
[01:46] <PathagenX> as long as your pants stay on, sure.
[01:47] <PathagenX> try login
[01:47] <nataraj_> shows so many errors when i `sudo fsck.vfat -a /dev/hdc1`ed
[01:47] <PathagenX> a nested account is just as good as an unested one. Otherwise, you will see the account on your next login
[01:47] <dionys> Guys, I need to login to a bouncer and I made a .ident in my home dir after I installed ident2 deamon how does it work now ?
[01:48] <treedreamer> PathagenX: after i run fsck.vfat -a /dev/hda  i got the following
[01:48] <PathagenX> ctrl+alt+backspace will drop you back to GDM
[01:48] <Farrier> RogerRabb: Good choice, apparently, though I've not usedPython myself, it seems to get a lot of respect as a good, solid language.
[01:48] <treedreamer> dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN, Currently, only 1 or 2 FATs are supported, not 191
[01:48] <npster> How do I delete files from terminal ?
[01:49] <treedreamer>  PathagenX: what does this mean?
[01:49] <gnomefreak> npster: rm file
[01:49] <PathagenX> treedreamer: sudo fsck.vfat /dev/hda1
[01:49] <nataraj_> treedreamer: do fsck.vfat -a /dev/hdc1
[01:49] <PathagenX> yea -a
[01:49] <npster> ok
[01:50] <treedreamer>  PathagenX: still got the same message
[01:50] <nataraj_> PathagenX: u type faster. ;)
[01:50] <PathagenX> oO
[01:50] <PathagenX> that can't be right
[01:50] <PathagenX> sudo fsck -a /dev/hda1
[01:50] <PathagenX> sudo fsck.vfat -a /dev/hda1
[01:52] <swuboo> I've run into a rather vexing problem.
[01:52] <PathagenX> wassat?
[01:52] <swuboo> I've got three partitions on my drive.
[01:52] <PathagenX> mhmm
[01:52] <swuboo> The main ubuntu partition, a swap partition, and what was just empty space.
[01:52] <swuboo> I installed XP on the empty space, and of course, it killed grub.
[01:52] <swuboo> So I booted into the liveCD to fix it, right?
[01:53] <PathagenX> mhmm
[01:53] <npster> Does someone know how to play mp3s in Helix.
[01:53] <swuboo> And the linux partition won't even mount.
[01:53] <PathagenX> npster: google ubuntu mp3s
[01:53] <Jack_Sparrow> PathagenX: what does the -a do in that command.  I didnt see -a in the help list
[01:53] <burhan> !mp3
[01:53] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  -  See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html  -  But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[01:53] <PathagenX> Ubuntu has no support for some restricted formats and mp3s are one of the... Thankyou ubotu
[01:54] <swuboo> If I go to disks and click Enable, nothing happens.
[01:54] <PathagenX> Jack_Sparrow, -a = automatically fix errors
[01:54] <swuboo> If I go into a terminal and type mount /dev/sda1 I get "can't find /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab"
[01:54] <SlackRat> what usually causes choppy or slow frame rates on kaffeine dvd player?
[01:54] <PathagenX> swuboo, reinstall ubuntu
[01:54] <tristan_> hello there
[01:55] <tristan_> IS it possible to run gnome-applets under KDE? And if so, how?
[01:55] <PathagenX> and from now on, always install Windoze first
[01:55] <swuboo> PathagenX:  Last time I installed Ubuntu on the same drive as XP, it killed XP.
[01:55] <Jack_Sparrow> PathagenX: That is what I would expect but  fsck -h shows -p as automatic repair ?
[01:55] <treedreamer> PathagenX : i got many magic mumbers and a message "not automatically fixing this "
[01:55] <PathagenX> it won't this time
[01:55] <npster> how to convert mp3s to oggs
[01:55] <Jack_Sparrow> PathagenX: Or is that just a funny font A and not p
[01:55] <swuboo> Installing Windows first wasn't actually an option in this case; I couldn't acquire a copy of XP until school began.
[01:56] <Thunderpants> npster, sudo apt-get install mp32ogg?
[01:56] <PathagenX> Jack_Sparrow, they have ather ways, for compatbilaty, mostly
[01:56] <PathagenX> -y will work too
[01:56] <swuboo> So you're saying a complete reinstall is the only thing to do?
[01:56] <PathagenX> no
[01:56] <PathagenX> I am saying that it is the best advice that I can give
[01:56] <swuboo> Mmm.
[01:56] <swuboo> Well, if it's that drastic, I guess running fdisk first won't hurt anything, eh?
[01:56] <PathagenX> did you google ubuntu grub?
[01:57] <Jack_Sparrow> PathagenX: thanks
[01:57] <swuboo> Won't really help, as far as I can see.
[01:57] <swuboo> If I can't mount the partition, it's logically impossible for me to alter the grub settings in it.
[01:57] <SlackRat> swuboo , whats wrong atm exactly?
[01:57] <PathagenX> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-5552.html
[01:57] <swuboo> That's the problem-- the liveCD refuses to mount my ext3 partition.
[01:57] <PathagenX> swuboo http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-5552.html
[01:58] <cwillu> So, do you suppose something's changed such that irc doesn't make my machine hang anymore?
[01:58] <cwillu> seems promising so far...
[01:58] <SlackRat> how is your hdd partitioned and whats on it at present?
[01:58] <swuboo> Three partitions.
[01:58] <PathagenX> on Slackware, I would just boot using the CD and type 'lilo' o.o
[01:58] <swuboo> ext3 with Ubuntu, a swap, and an NTFS partition.
[01:58] <SlackRat> xp on one?
[01:58] <swuboo> Right.
[01:59] <swuboo> Just installed.  That's when the problem hit.
[01:59] <SlackRat> and you are currently booting from grub or the windows mbr?
[01:59] <tc_> can someone please help me with my usb headset
[01:59] <SlackRat> windows will kill a linux install if installed after linux
[01:59] <swuboo> I figured that XP would nuke grub, so I booted into the LiveCD to mount the linux partition and restore grub.
[01:59] <SlackRat> see 'the microsoft virus' heh
[01:59] <swuboo> Windows has the mbr-- but I expected that.
[01:59] <zm0> swuboo: try to manually mount your partition: make a mount point 'mkdir /mnt/sda1' and then 'mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
[02:00] <opexoc> Could anybody tell me how can I find my printer URI?
[02:00] <PathagenX> Night all
[02:00] <SlackRat> it may have damaged more than the boot......now that windows is up? install ubuntu again to be safe .....you dont know what else the MS tampered with
[02:01] <SlackRat> then the ubuntu install will take charge of finding and booting windoze
[02:01] <tc_> i got a logitech headset and the mic works as in i can hear what i say on mic from the headset but when i play music etc they still play through my speakers..yes i have selected my headset alsa from properties and i have reboot with usb headset pluged in..i read i need to make the headset dev0 can someone tell me how to do this pls i beg of you :(
[02:01] <SlackRat> no headaches.....or you can try what zm0 recommends before the extreme measure....
[02:01] <swuboo> zm0's suggestion appears to have worked.
[02:01] <Jack_Sparrow> swuboo: You are in an uphill battle and other problems in the future...  WIndows wants to be the first os on the first partition,, linux dosent really care.  I agree the best advice is to set it all up from the beginning again
[02:02] <swuboo> Urgh.
[02:02] <tc_> i had to format my pc to put windows on it first..
[02:02] <tc_> to much hassle puting windows ontop of linux
[02:02] <cwillu> swuboo: I think you might be able to just reinstall or even just reconfigure grub from synaptic, but I'm not sure
[02:02] <swuboo> The ironic thing is that this is the first time I've had windows in a year; ever since Breezy nuked my old install.
[02:02] <SlackRat> use synaptic to configure grub? pass the bong please
[02:02] <swuboo> I'm hoping to be able to reconfigure grub, particularly now that the drive appears to be successfully mounted.
[02:02] <tc_> lol slackrat...can you help me pls
[02:02] <swuboo> Not with synaptic, though.  I'm not sure how that would work.
[02:03] <zm0> swuboo: now use chroot to install grub: cd to /mnt/sda1 and type 'chroot /mnt/sda1 grub-install'
[02:03] <SlackRat> or if it would :P
[02:03] <Jack_Sparrow> swuboo: You can try the super grub reapir cd..
[02:03] <tc_> ppl please help me out i have googled all over for usb headset support got nothing?
[02:03] <SlackRat> have you checked the alsamixer settings?
[02:03] <tc_> slackrat yes
[02:04] <tc_> i read i need to make my dve0 which is intel@the mo to my usb
[02:04] <SlackRat> can you get a normal headset working?
[02:04] <Jack_Sparrow> swuboo: http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/SuperGrubDiskPage.html
[02:04] <tc_> i dont have normal
[02:04] <zm0> swuboo: that should read: chroot /mnt/sda1 grub-install /dev/sda1
[02:04] <SlackRat> usb is a pita all too often
[02:04] <tc_> jus this usb headset which cost me 70 euro i might add
[02:04] <tc_> is there a file i can jus change the usb dve1 to usb dve 0?
[02:05] <tc_> dev*
[02:05] <swuboo> "/dev/sda1: Not found or not a block device."
[02:05] <KenSentMe> Does anyone know how long a posting on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org will be saved?
[02:05] <tristan_> IS it possible to run gnome-applets under KDE? And if so, how?
[02:06] <swuboo> At least it's mounted, that's a definite step in the right direction.
[02:06] <SlackRat> no experience here with getting a usb headset to work, sorry......keep hacking at it tho, things like that are generally possible albeit annoying
[02:06] <zm0> swuboo: hmmm, try /dev/sda
[02:06] <tc_> kk slackrat
[02:06] <swuboo> Ditto.
[02:06] <tc_> anyone in here got a usb headset working on ubuntu?
[02:06] <swuboo> What about just / instead of /dev/sda?
[02:07] <ChaosFan> swuboo: you need to mount -o bind /dev/ /mnt/sda1/dev and mount -t proc nonte /mnt/sda1/proc
[02:07] <tc_> swuboo jus format...makes no sense why u are trying to do what your doing
[02:07] <ChaosFan> then chroot, and type grep -v rootfs /proc/mounts > /etc/mtab
[02:07] <ChaosFan> and then grub-install /dev/sda
[02:07] <ChaosFan> uh sorry, typo in first line
[02:07] <tc_> linux runs great ontop of windows
[02:07] <myosotis> hi all
[02:07] <MirrorSpock> hello
[02:07] <tc_> not other way around
[02:08] <ChaosFan> should be mount -t proc none /mnt/sda1/proc
[02:09] <Farrier> "tc_ linux runs great ontop of windows" <- yeah! It tramples windows underfoot! Mwahaha...*cough*
[02:09] <linopil> u mean on vmware?
[02:09] <myosotis> I have a question. Im trying to change locale on my ubuntu server (V 6.06) but I cannot find any help on how to do this anywhere.
[02:10] <swuboo> What arguments should I give chroot, ChaosFan?
[02:10] <swuboo> chroot /dev/sda1/ ?
[02:10] <tc_> Farrier well it works better then other way around...not perfect i guess
[02:10] <ChaosFan> swuboo: chroot /mnt/sda1 /bin/bash
[02:10] <myosotis> The only thing ive seen is that o should do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales and these select what locale to use, but i dont get to choose anything.
[02:10] <tc_> anyone in here got a usb headset working on ubuntu?
[02:10] <MirrorSpock> Question: I get "Too many open files in system" when trying to read a mounted share. the Share is from an AIX machine (Fastconnect)
[02:10] <myosotis> these = there
[02:11] <swuboo> sudo: unable to lookup ubuntu via gethostbyname()
[02:11] <swuboo> That's on the grep.
[02:11] <ChaosFan> tc_: how often are you going to ask? noone seems to have
[02:11] <tc_> maybe someone will join who has :)
[02:11] <ChaosFan> swuboo: grep shouldn't have anything todo with gethostbyname()
[02:11] <tc_> im sure theres @ least more then 1 person who aint useing stoneage headphones
[02:11] <swuboo> Tell grep that!
[02:12] <KenSentMe> How can i convert multiple avi files at once using ffmpeg?
[02:12] <KenSentMe> Can i write a shell script to do it?
[02:12] <SlackRat> yes, usb is more neolithic age
[02:12] <swuboo> ...wait.
[02:12] <tc_> lol slackrat
[02:12] <Farrier> tc_: I haven't even got my bluetooth-usb-headset working on *windows* let alone linux :(
[02:12] <swuboo> It was because I prepended it with sudo.
[02:12] <tc_> lmao farrier
[02:12] <Tidus> tc_: i still use 'stone age' headphones because usb headsets chew up more cpu time
[02:12] <ChaosFan> swuboo: shouldn't need sudo after chrooting
[02:12] <tc_> see you dont ask the right way
[02:13] <tc_> i got lots of cpu doh
[02:13] <Dimensions> which one is the best image viewer and editor in ubuntu gnome ?
[02:13] <tc_> plus there surround sound n shit
[02:13] <Jack_Sparrow> gimp
[02:13] <swuboo> ChaosFan:  So I see now.  Wasn't aware of that.
[02:13] <Jack_Sparrow> or digikam for image management
[02:14] <tc_> is there any ubuntu rooms for audio etc on here?
[02:14] <Tidus> tc_: i also have lots of cpu time
[02:14] <swuboo> I think that might have worked.
[02:14] <t-thing> Hi. Can I stream video and play audio locally with vlc?
[02:14] <ChaosFan> swuboo: does it work? just did it yesterday so i remember the commands ;)
[02:14] <nalpha> anyone using websitebaker??
[02:14] <SlackRat> t-thing, why not?
[02:14] <Tidus> tc_: but i use my stone age headphones because my sound card offloads the sound work from the CPU... very useful when playing a lag-unfriendly game
[02:14] <MirrorSpock> on AIX, how can I tell what filesystem is used?
[02:14] <steppe_> which one is the best image vector editor?with cmyk standart?
[02:14] <tc_> usb is the future of headsets i never used a good set of regular ones sound jus aint up to scratch on gaming
[02:15] <swuboo> Heh.  I don't know whether it *works* yet.
[02:15] <SlackRat> cat /etc/fstab
[02:15] <Tidus> tc_: could just be your soundcard.
[02:15] <Afief> What good OSS 3d games are out there?
[02:15] <swuboo> But it said, "Installation complete.  No errors reported."
[02:15] <Farrier> Never seen a USB port on a soundcard.
[02:15] <ChaosFan> swuboo: that sound good
[02:15] <Tidus> tc_: i got a creative sb live.
[02:15] <ChaosFan> only reason that it might not work now should be that you do not boot from sda ;)
[02:15] <Tidus> Farrier: was referring to his sound quality when using normal headphones
[02:15] <swuboo> It also says that /boot/grub/device.map only has /dev/sda in it.
[02:15] <t-thing> SlackRat: but how?
[02:15] <swuboo> I do, actually.
[02:15] <ChaosFan> might be
[02:16] <swuboo> So device.map shouldn't have partitions, just the drive itself?
[02:16] <ChaosFan> yes
[02:16] <Dimensions> when we install wine and use a windows programme and like visual basics and i make setup programme for it to install it can i run that .exe in ubuntu to install the programme ??
[02:16] <swuboo> Well.  Let's throw the baby off the roof and see if it flies!
[02:16] <mike-digiport-> how can I mount a USB device?
[02:16] <cwillu> Dimensions: you'd have to run the exe with wine as well
[02:16] <Farrier> Tidus: I know, I was referring to tc_'s "USB is the future of headphones" statement and pointing to a minor flaw in his logic.
[02:16] <Tidus> oh lol
[02:17] <tanath> anyone know how to get fglrx working on edgy?
[02:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Dimensions: I doubt it
[02:17] <cwillu> Dimensions: cxoffice at least (wine derivative) sets it up that exe files are launch by it automatically, don't know if vanilla wine does it to
[02:17] <Dimensions> cwillu: isn't it possible that i make the project on MS OS and then some how convert it to linux file system ?
[02:17] <Tidus> Farrier: never seen a portable player support a usb headphone either
[02:17] <Tidus> same with most professional audio equipment
[02:17] <Dimensions> cwillu:  and Jack_Sparrow how abt winehq ?
[02:18] <cwillu> Dimensions: there's a way to compile against the wine libs instead of the linux ones to make a cross platform app, but I'm not experienced in that
[02:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Dimensions: YEs, there are cross compilers like real basic that can do that.
[02:18] <Dimensions> yeah Jack_Sparrow but that isn't a free ware one has to pay like 400 $ for it
[02:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Dimensions: the linux version is free.
[02:18] <ChaosFan> that usb headphones discussion for sure is funny ;)
[02:19] <mike-digiport-> how can I mount a USB device
[02:19] <SlackRat> mount /dev/sda....
[02:19] <swuboo> Well hey.  Here I am.
[02:19] <SlackRat> it worked?
[02:19] <swuboo> Yes.
[02:19] <ChaosFan> swuboo: so it did work i presume? ;)
[02:20] <ChaosFan> wonderful ;)
[02:20] <walrus> mike-digiport-, the similar way as any other removable medai
[02:20] <Jack_Sparrow> ChaosFan: If I was spending $100 plus for a "Toy" I would want to be sure it was in the hardware comp list first
[02:20] <swuboo> Thank you kindly.
[02:20] <SlackRat> wooot!   Last year it was only five dollars.
[02:21] <Ramunas> can automatix install ati drivers?
[02:21] <Lysit> 5 dollars ? Robbed
[02:21] <ChaosFan> Jack_Sparrow: so, well, that's his fault. i do take a look on how to integrate something new with the rest of my equipment before buying it. even if it costs less than 10 dollars or something
[02:21] <linuxd00d> hey i am having trouble with flash, i am able to view the pictures and stuff but not the text
[02:22] <Jack_Sparrow> ChaosFan: I was not disagreeing with you...
[02:22] <Dimensions> Thanks Jack_Sparrow
[02:22] <Jack_Sparrow> Dimensions: You can also look at kbasic
[02:22] <bXi> can somebody recommend a page on how to get my wireless card to connect?
[02:22] <Jack_Sparrow> bXi: what card/chipset
[02:22] <linuxd00d>  hey i am having trouble with flash, i am able to view the pictures and stuff but not the text
[02:22] <Dimensions> ya kbasic isn't that stronger one
[02:22] <swuboo> Alright, on that note, I will express my gratitude once again, and then go have a pot of coffee.
[02:23] <mike-digiport-> ita telling me i need to specify a filesystem type
[02:23] <bXi> Jack_Sparrow: not too sure
[02:23] <ChaosFan> Jack_Sparrow: sorry, then i misunderstood you. i'm not a native english speaker, you know...
[02:23] <bXi> but i know its recogniced already
[02:23] <bXi> just need to connect it
[02:23] <linuxd00d>  hey i am having trouble with flash, i am able to view the pictures and stuff but not the text
[02:23] <Jack_Sparrow> ChaosFan: No I didnt know elglish, or the american version of it was not your native language.  You speak / tpe quite well
[02:23] <zm0> linuxd00d: i'm not sure, i think you need to apt-get OR aptitude install gsfonts-x11
[02:23] <jake> Hello, I am trying to install libxfixes-dev and keep getting dependency issues can anybody help?  I have uncommented all the repos and apt-get updated
[02:24] <ompaul> Ramunas, it is suggested you don't use that, use the documentation in its place, we have seen a lot of breakage from it over time - you can go to their channel put a # in front of the program name for support with it
[02:24] <linuxd00d> zm0: thanks
[02:24] <ChaosFan> Jack_Sparrow: thanks, but i'm just a german student of computer science ;)
[02:24] <Ramunas> ompaul: I know, but my friend is having problems, and I thought it would be easier for him
[02:24] <Jack_Sparrow> ChaosFan: Please also help support the ubuntu - german channel...
[02:25] <bXi> Jack_Sparrow: is it possible its an rt2400 chipset?
[02:25] <ChaosFan> Jack_Sparrow: i'm in there, but i seem to miss most questions as they really talk a lot of nonsense in there...
[02:25] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[02:25] <Jack_Sparrow> ChaosFan: No problem.. and thanks
[02:25] <marlun> why is the Apache2 .conf file you get when installing apache2 from Ubuntu repository changed from the default? I can't even find a DocumentRoot?
[02:26] <bXi> Jack_Sparrow: how does one connect to a network with this?
[02:27] <Jack_Sparrow> bXi: http://packages.ubuntu.com/breezy/net/rt2400  you still need to do some work
[02:27] <linuxd00d> zm0: cheers it is now working, thanks alot
[02:27] <jake> anybody got a good howto to install gnome 2.16 on dapper?
[02:27] <zm0> linuxd00d: cool, yw :-)
[02:27] <mike-digiport-> its telling me you must specify the filesystem type when i try to mount /dev/sda
[02:28] <mike-digiport-> ...
[02:28] <ompaul> marlun, in etc/apache2/ read the README it will give some clues how to use it on Ubuntu
[02:28] <swuboo> So uh, equipped with coffee now, how do I add XP as an option to grub?
[02:28] <burhan> marlun: read /etc/apache2/README
[02:28] <ompaul> !grub > swuboo
[02:28] <ompaul> swuboo, please read the message from Ubuntu
[02:28] <der0b> is there a way to make the fonts in xterm/aterm look as smooth as they do in gnome-terminal?  I can resize, and make them readable, they just look jagged
[02:28] <bXi> hmmm great
[02:28] <ompaul> swuboo, please read the message from ubotu even
[02:28] <marlun> ok, thanks!
[02:28] <bXi> no normal lan port on this laptop
[02:28] <archangelpetro> btw, i am right in thinking that the command 'usermod -G group1,group2,group3 username'  is supposed to applicate the user to additional groups as well as the ones he's already in right?
[02:29] <swuboo> Soon as it loads, ompaul.
[02:29] <jake> swuboo, there is an example of hot to add other oses at the top of the grub.conf file.  all you need to know is where windows is on your drive, grub begins numbering drives with 0.
[02:30] <cwillu> der0b: I don't _think_ so;  they're not using gtk, and so don't get the benefits of the antialiasing done automatically (iirc)
[02:30] <LDS_Trooper> how do I use Wine?
[02:30] <der0b> thanks cwillu
[02:30] <tristan_> LDS_Trooper, wine path_to_the_application
[02:30] <swuboo> Right, I'm sure I'll figure it out from here.
[02:30] <Jack_Sparrow> LDS_Trooper: Joining #Wine would be a start
[02:31] <LDS_Trooper> thanks Jack_Sparrow
[02:31] <LDS_Trooper> Didn't know it existed
[02:31] <swuboo> So... asking grub to set up /dev/sda2 would involve actually asking it to set up hd0,1?
[02:31] <Jack_Sparrow> LDS_Trooper: Not trying to be rude.. just pointing out they have a channel with soecific info you can use
[02:32] <LDS_Trooper> no problem... I joined it and found two people who do not answer.
[02:32] <myosotis> The only thing ive seen is that o should do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales and there select what locale to use, but i dont get to choose anything.
[02:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Someone also said wine-hq
[02:32] <LDS_Trooper> Just wondering if it can be used to run Bryce 3d
[02:32] <myosotis> I have a question. Im trying to change locale on my ubuntu server (V 6.06) but I cannot find any help on how to do this anywhere.
[02:32] <ChaosFan> LDS_Trooper: try #winehq
[02:32] <trash`> Somebody can tell me what package to 'dpkg-reconfigure' to regenerate the distribution default dovecot.conf?  'dpkg-reconfigure dovecot' isn't doing it.
[02:33] <LDS_Trooper> Thanks ChaosFan
[02:33] <ChaosFan> no problem ;)
[02:33] <Farrier> Or "man wine", or is that too oldskool? :P
[02:33] <bahr> Hi, how do I change my keyboard layout in a terminal like aterm?
[02:34] <orbital_fox> Farrier, man is is oldskool, but is great :D
[02:34] <cwillu> somebody should rewrite gnome help to prettify man pages instead :)
[02:35] <orbital_fox> never seen gnome help before
[02:35] <orbital_fox> but i do use gnome :P
[02:35] <trash`> There is a ubuntu server freenode channel?  Seem like most of the questions in here are desktop.
[02:36] <cwillu> trash`: what's your problem?
[02:36] <jake> swuboo yes
[02:36] <SlackRat> where does it say this is a server channel
[02:36] <SlackRat> ?
[02:36] <swuboo> So the appropriate commands would be, "sudo grub" and then "setup hd0,1"?
[02:36] <SlackRat> it says official ubuntu support
[02:36] <ChaosFan> trash`: #ubuntu-server
[02:36] <ChaosFan> but it seems to be pretty inactive...
[02:37] <trash`> SlackRat: i'm not complaining, i'm asking if there's another channel more oriented to server questions
[02:37] <cwillu> trash`: what's your question?
[02:37] <bXi> okay
[02:37] <SlackRat> ah, heh.....
[02:37] <trash`> cwillu: above
[02:37] <erUSUL> bahr: keyboard layout is not a per app setting you have to configure it via the X server. System> Prefs> keyboard or try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[02:37] <trash`> cwillu: about reconfiguring dovecot
[02:37] <jake> swuboo, just copy the example in grub.conf, then scroll down to the bottom ofthe kernel list and paste what you copied and edit it to suit your needs.  That should do it.
[02:37] <trash`> ChaosFan: thanks for the channel name
[02:38] <Paddy_EIRE> can any of u guys recommend a Linux OS for a AMD Duron 1100, 256ram comp... already tried xubuntu, and edubuntu on it and they run fairly slow and looks ugly when moving any windows
[02:38] <marlun> ompaul, burhan: but for example, I just installed Trac, and I've got no idea where to find the mod_python stuff you usually put in httpd.conf, I read the README but that didn't help me much.
[02:38] <mathieu> marlun: do you run apache2?
[02:38] <marlun> mathieu, yes?
[02:38] <bXi> how does one install a package on a pc without a net connection?
[02:38] <swuboo> I'll give that a go jake, thanks.
[02:39] <Ramunas> why there's no easy way for newbies to install ati radeon drivers? Newbies don't like to mess with terminal
[02:39] <cwillu> trash`: apt-get remove ...; apt-get install ... should work (config files aren't removed by 'remove')
[02:39] <Pierric1> Hi Does anyone know how to install ubuntu on a Asus P5b
[02:39] <nol13> hi, can anyone help me get an .mkv file to play correctly? thanks
[02:39] <dsas> hmm, does anyone know what needs to be done to make items needing sudo in the system -> administration appear for a new user? membership of the admin group?
[02:39] <jake> Paddy, did you try installing the k7 kernel? the default kernel ran slow on my sempron 2800 but the k7 runs pretty good
[02:39] <Lysit> Im trying to sudo apt-get  install phpmyadmin but keep reciving "E: Couldn't find package phpmyadmin". I've removed the #'s from /etc/apt/sources.list before the universe repositories, and have done sudo apt-get update, but still get the error.
 did not try that
[02:39] <cwillu> trash`: aptitude has more options for reconfiguring, fresh reinsatlling, etc
[02:40] <mathieu> marlun: are you looking for making apache2 aware of mod_python, or for configuring trac?
[02:40] <trash`> cwillu: i just figured it out, 'rm /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf && dpkg-reconfigure dovecot-common' - thanks though
[02:40] <Pierric1> I saw the bug : https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/57502 and try to install the edgy distrib
[02:40] <burhan> marlun: first, enable mod_python via a2enmod.
 which os would come with this kernal by default
[02:40] <swuboo> Alright.  Lemme see how all this worked.
[02:40] <Farrier> bXi: From CD? Edit /etc/apt/sources.list to use file://path instead of http/ftp, and you should be able to install from local or CD.
[02:40] <Pierric1> but problem looks the same
[02:40] <cwillu> trash`: that's not particularily nice thouigh :)
[02:40] <jake> ubuntu, the k7 is in the repos
[02:40] <Boll> Anyone around who has experience using mutt across ssh from an ubuntu box?
[02:41] <trash`> cwillu: what's not nice?
[02:41] <cwillu> trash`: aptitude purge <package> and then installing it is better
[02:41] <Boll> I appear to be having trouble getting mutt to handle utf-8 encoding correctly.
 how well does your comp run now with this
[02:41] <cwillu> in case there's config done in other files (other than that folder)
[02:41] <jake> you could also dl the source and compile it yourself that will give you good Linux expierence
[02:41] <trash`> cwillu: i have no idea what other configuration files i've modified for dovecot though
[02:41] <Frugga> Hi anyone know how to boot the live cd with an ATI X1300 video card, i cant seem to get it to boot to the desktop just getting a blank screen
[02:42] <jake> check out the ubuntu forums they are by far the best Linux resource out there
[02:42] <Kaahane> I tired to update ALSA driver... It failed.. how do I get my sound work again ?
[02:42] <cwillu> trash`: I'm sure what you did will work, but i can imagine circumstances that it wouldn't, and so knowing a better way might be handy :)
k, will do cheers
[02:42] <Lysit> ignore my last question, made a mistake
[02:42] <ompaul> marlun, I have seen something about howyou do mod apache in ubuntu it is rather obvious once you see it once
[02:42] <jake> good luck
[02:43] <cwillu> ompaul: re; enabling modules?
[02:43] <cwillu> a2enmod
[02:43] <ompaul> cwillu, thats the one
[02:43] <Frugga> thanks jake but already tried, do you know if the ubuntu 6.06 uses the fglrx driver module
[02:43] <Jack_Sparrow> frugga  at the first screen you can hit F6 and try a few things like   Grub Boot Options ide=nodma vga=normal nomce acpi=off pnpbios=off xdrvr=vesa xres=800x600 apm=off
[02:44] <burhan> marlun: to enable mod_python for some site, you have two options. You can edit the default site (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default) or you can create your own configuration file in /etc/apache2/sites-available and then create a symlink to that file in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/, restart apache, and off you go.
[02:45] <ompaul> marlun, see a2enmod (and thank cwillu for having brought his brain with him today ;-)) and see also what burhan said
[02:45] <Frugga> thanks i will try this, i have already tried the safe graphic mode and still no good, cheers
[02:45] <cwillu> ompaul: no, I just forgot my body at home
[02:45] <ompaul> cwillu, hehe
[02:46] <burhan> and I can be bothered to ghost him.
[02:46] <cwillu> burhan: /msg nickserv recover fyrestrtr
[02:46] <cr3> is it possible for nautilus to delete or rename files without having to restart it with sudo?
[02:47] <Jack_Sparrow> cr3: USe gksudo to run Nautilus.. when you must
[02:47] <cwillu> cr3: I don't think there's anything in there yet to automatically ask for your password when neccessary
[02:48] <Kaahane> how Do i Reconfigure ALSA drivers? and get my soundcard working...?
[02:48] <Jack_Sparrow> cr3: I created a launcher that runs it that way for my desktop
[02:48] <marlun> mathieu, burhan ompaul: thank you! =)
[02:48] <cwillu> cr3: you mean like what happens when you just double click a deb file right?  (asks for a password only after you try to install?)
[02:48] <fyrestrtr> whee
[02:49] <cwillu> lol
[02:49] <cwillu> yippee;  3d acceleration _and_ xinerama(ish)

[02:55] <sriram> Is there any way to easy installation of lamp on ubuntu? Help Please?
[02:55] <Farrier> darn those gradient fills - I *knew* they were a bad idea.
[02:55] <lupine_85> (e.g. does it only consist of the numerals 0-9 and the letters a-f ?)
[02:55] <infidel> cwillu: actually i had a vic 20
[02:55] <cwillu> giggle
[02:55] <orbital_fox> sriram, just use the synaptic package manager
[02:56] <cwillu> I remember the magazines laughing at people still running those :)
[02:56] <Jack_Sparrow> infidel: I worked for Commodore back then.
[02:56] <cwillu> that was what, 10 15 years ago now
[02:56] <Jack_Sparrow> 25
[02:56] <infidel> Jack_Sparrow: did you really?
[02:56] <Jack_Sparrow> yea
[02:57] <infidel> Jack_Sparrow: doing what?
[02:57] <Jack_Sparrow> Gawd I feel old
[02:57] <Jack_Sparrow> Programming in 6502/10
[02:57] <sriram> orbital_fox - synaptic package manager - I guesss .. I found seperate kind of apache server and PHP packages
[02:57] <sriram> but not 'lamp'
[02:57] <fyrestrtr> he was the guy that said, you know what -- lets future proof it and call it Commodore 64!
[02:57] <fyrestrtr> !lamp > sriram
[02:57] <ChaosFan> sriram: but lamp is nothing else than that
[02:57] <zap0> hello, im a linux noob... please can someone help me:   i have booted knoppix after my ubuntu live CD failed to load.. i have a HD, but it is pre-owned; i need to check if its got a FS on it.. how ?
[02:58] <infidel> Jack_Sparrow: what kind of language was that assembly
[02:58] <fyrestrtr> zap0: fdisk -l /dev/yourdisk
[02:58] <nol13> hi i need help making a vcd image, is there any easy way to convert from an .avi to a .mpg so i can use vcdimager?
[02:58] <zap0> fyrestrt1, how do i know which disk it is...  there is only 1 HD on the system, and 1 CDROM.
[02:58] <Jack_Sparrow> yes, and no label making compilers, everything hard coded, PM me if you want since this is offtopic
[02:59] <fyrestrtr> zap0: its probably hda if its an IDE disk, and sda if its a SATA drive.
[02:59] <zap0> IDE.
[02:59] <erUSUL> nol13: ffmpeg
[02:59] <zap0> so it would be   fdisk -l /dev/hda
[02:59] <lupine_85> don't forget to sudo :)
[03:00] <zap0> it potentially could have a Mac or 'other-linux' FS on it already.. i just need to know..  is this fdisk -l going to tell me ?
[03:00] <erUSUL> nol13: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Create_a_VCD_or_SVCD <-- very good how to
[03:02] <Protostar> Hello all
[03:03] <Protostar> i'm still having a problem with installing amarok
[03:03] <nol13> cool
[03:03] <Protostar> says I need libvisual .4 > but i can't find it in the repos?
[03:03] <Protostar> anyone know how to solve this?
[03:03] <nol13> thx erUSUL
[03:05] <cwillu> Protostar: libvisual-0.4-0 ?
[03:05] <cwillu> Protostar: running dapper, right?
[03:06] <Protostar> yeah
[03:06] <cwillu> Protostar: where are you looking for it?
[03:06] <Protostar> I try installing Amarok via the repos and it keeps saying I need this
[03:07] <Protostar> i looked for it and only found version libvisual 0.2
[03:07] <cwillu> Protostar: in synaptic?
[03:08] <Protostar> yeah
[03:08] <cwillu> Protostar: have you reloaded your repositories?
[03:08] <Protostar> No
[03:08] <Protostar> Should I try that?
[03:08] <cwillu> Protostar: ya;  close synaptic, then run sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get install libvisual-0.4-0
[03:09] <cwillu> Protostar: brb, just grabbing some food
[03:09] <Protostar> okay
[03:09] <Protostar> I did that
[03:10] <Protostar> and this is what I got
[03:10] <Protostar> "Package libvisual-0.4-0 is not available, but is referred to by another package.This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[03:10] <Protostar> is only available from another source
[03:10] <Protostar> E: Package libvisual-0.4-0 has no installation candidate
[03:10] <Protostar> "
[03:10] <SlackRat> install the correct version from source
[03:11] <Protostar> okay
[03:11] <zap0> fyrestrtr, i did the fdisk -l /dev/hdd    hd*D*  and it showed the CDROM drive ok, but non of the other hd[a-g]  showed anything, they all said error.
[03:11] <Protostar> let me try that
[03:11] <Protostar> Is/has anyone else had this problem?
[03:11] <Crazed> sudo: /etc/init.d/inetd: command not found
[03:11] <Crazed> ..
[03:11] <Crazed> why not ? :P
[03:12] <sethk> Crazed, I believe ubuntu is using xinetd
[03:12] <cwillu> Protostar: checking
[03:12] <Crazed> hmm ok
[03:12] <zap0> fyrestrtr;  does that mean its not any fs, or just that my knoppix disk doesn't know it ?     (as it may have originally been a mac disk)
[03:12] <Crazed> nope sethk
[03:12] <Crazed> also not found
[03:12] <sethk> Crazed, yes, I checked, and it is using xinetd, so /etc/init.d/xinetd start
[03:12] <Healot> holy cow, 800++ users -
[03:12] <sethk> Crazed, then you didn't install it.  I just double checked my boxes
[03:12] <sethk> Crazed, I can give you the package name if you need it.
[03:13] <Crazed> hmm yes would be nice
[03:13] <sethk> Crazed, and, the package is .....  xinetd   :)
[03:13] <Crazed> haha
[03:13] <Crazed> already was guesing that ;)
[03:13] <cwillu> Protostar: it installed here okay
[03:13] <sethk> once in a wild things are logical.  :)
[03:13] <Protostar> AmaroK?
[03:13] <cwillu> Protostar: what kernel arch are you running?
[03:13] <sethk> Crazed, have to go to work, I'll be back this evening.
[03:13] <Protostar> How do you check that?
[03:13] <Crazed> ok cu :)
[03:13] <Protostar> I know there is a way from the CL
[03:13] <Protostar> forgot the command
[03:14] <cwillu> uname -a
[03:14] <Protostar> thx
[03:14] <cwillu> Protostar: I just installed libvisual-0.4-0, I'm trying amarok right now
[03:14] <Protostar> using kernel 2.6.15-26-386
[03:15] <cwillu> okay, so it's not some 64bit/ppc issue
[03:15] <Protostar> I'm using a 64 Bit Athlon
[03:15] <cwillu> yes, but you're using a 32 bit kernel, so it shouldn't be an issue
[03:15] <barongas> I need to install a windows partition to dual-boot with my dapper installation without screwing it over, I have a partition on another harddrive waiting for this but I've heard that installing windows as the second os is a bitch, any tips?
[03:15] <cwillu> unless it's being to smart for its own good :/
[03:16] <kouwe> can someone help me with this VLC problem ? --> VLC media player 0.8.5 Janus

[03:16] <kowa> hi all
[03:16] <cwillu> anybody know if dpkg will try to install a 64 bit package even if you're running a 32 bit kernel (but on a 64 bit cpu)?
[03:16] <rem__> .
[03:17] <Crazed> hmm
[03:17] <Crazed> does anyone here know a good guide to setup a vncserver ?
[03:17] <_ian> hi, how come my windows partitions are seen in /media butnhave locks on their icons and i cant access them
[03:17] <Crazed> with http connection ? :p
[03:17] <cwillu> Protostar: what does dpkg --print-architecture say?

[03:18] <cwillu> Protostar: and you apt-get update'd, with no errors?
[03:18] <kowa> how can i update my totme?
[03:18] <Protostar> yeah
[03:18] <kowa> totem
[03:18] <Protostar> I used the Source-O-Matic
[03:18] <dabomb422> when I configure a program, it says compiler cannot create executibles
[03:18] <Protostar> maybe I should create another source list?
[03:19] <cwillu> Protostar: maybe;  can you pastebin me your current list?
[03:19] <Afief> Healot: i am not into racers, i prefer games like prince of persia and starcraft(i know starcraft runs under wine)
[03:19] <Protostar> sure, hold on

[03:23] <quagmyre> hi all, i am trying to set up Ubuntu on an old 733 Celeron for my Mother in Law... after an interesting morning, i get a game to fire up (yes, pathetic, but she wants card games and a browser) and i must say, the display is primative... how can i make the simple card games look professional enough so she wont whine?
[03:23] <cwillu> Hobbsee: that was kinda uncalled for;  it's an honest mistake, and most irc clients that people'd be using make it far to easy to paste huge amounts of text (i.e,. by autosplitting it)
[03:23] <dabomb422> lupine_85: and it just started to happen recently
[03:24] <rendo> quagmyre- Hit her in the head so her vision goes a little
[03:24] <Hobbsee> cwillu: true.  ish.
[03:24] <rendo> Just a thought. :P
[03:24] <quagmyre> LOL @ rendo
[03:24] <rendo> Oh?
[03:24] <quagmyre> i actually like her ;)
[03:24] <Hobbsee> cwillu: a lot of clients now have a built in "are you sure you want to spam the channel?" dialogue
[03:24] <rendo> Mother in law. :P
[03:24] <rendo> Hit her harder. :P
[03:24] <cwillu> it happens, I generally assume that i'll have to educate them first anyway;  just forgot to this time :)
[03:24] <kowa> im new with ubuntu ..does anybody know a channel, i can ask?
[03:24] <_ian> cwillu http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22808
[03:24] <cwillu> gaim doesn't, xchat doesn't :)
[03:25] <Farrier> kowa: try #ubuntu :D
[03:25] <cwillu> kowa: just ask
[03:25] <_ian> Farrier: lol
[03:25] <Hobbsee> cwillu: konversation does.  get a better client :P
[03:25] <cybertoast> quagmyre: i'm assuming you're tried the std video configuration? also, make sure you've got the ati, nvidia drivers if that's the sort of video you have
[03:25] <cwillu> _ian: k, hda1 right?
[03:25] <compengi> how do i update my java runtime?
[03:25] <kowa> how can i update totem, cause i cant play videos
[03:25] <_ian> and 2 too
[03:25] <breuerp> Can anyone help me out with installing on an IBM xSeries 306?
[03:25] <Protostar> sorry about that

[03:26] <dabomb422> does anyone know why I always get the error "compiler cannot create executibles"?
[03:26] <cr3> cwillu: sorry for the late response regarding nautilus, I simply mean when browsing files. if I encounter a system file owned by root for example, I would expect nautilus to popup an authentication box if I wanted to modify a file owned by root.
[03:26] <Farrier> Does ubuntu come with a clickable onscreen keyboard?
[03:26] <cwillu> cr3: yep, I know what you mean;  nautilus doesn't have support for it yet though :(
[03:26] <quagmyre> cybertoast: it is an intigrated mobo... real POS... but i guess i should mess with the drivers first and make sure they are cool and i am not using some gawdawful default mode... TY for the pointer, i will check
[03:26] <_ian> Farrier yes it does....
[03:26] <kowa> yes
[03:26] <Crazed> does onyone know why I don't get any GDM login screen with VNC ?

[03:27] <cwillu> _ian: I'd think you couldn't write to hda2, but you should be able to read it
[03:27] <cwillu> thx
[03:27] <Protostar> my Sources list
[03:27] <SlackRat> check permissions dabomb422....for gcc
[03:27] <cybertoast> quagmyre: i've run ubuntu on some pretty crappy hardware and it works relatively well. at least you should be able to get a decent res with the vesa drivers (run the xfree config stuff and check the drivers)
[03:27] <mempf-edgy> can someone help me getting my build in card reader working?
[03:27] <dabomb422> SlackRat: the permissions to the bin, or...
[03:27] <kowa> how cann i update totem?
[03:27] <Farrier> _ian: Any idea what it might be called? At the moment, since synergy has died, I have no keyboard on my linux box, so I'm "typing" by cut-pasting the letters with the mouse.
[03:28] <mempf-edgy> its detecting the card
[03:28] <quagmyre> TY cybertoast, i will look into it
[03:28] <_ian> cwillu:i can but nothings showing up,,,,actually i dont need toight i jsut need to read since my windows files are there....and im trying to migrate slowly to linux since im like 2 days old
[03:28] <mempf-edgy> just not mounting it
[03:28] <cr3> cwillu: it would be a cool thing so that people don't have to revert to the console :(
[03:28] <cybertoast> good luck
[03:28] <Crazed> zzz
[03:28] <cwillu> cr3: I know
[03:28] <SlackRat> what ur trying to compile as well, make sure its executable
[03:28] <breuerp> Can anyone help me out with installing on an IBM xSeries 306?
[03:29] <cybertoast> dabomb422: sudo apt-get install totem (but that's the obvious answer!). what's the problem?
[03:29] <rendo> Someone I know is trying to install Ubuntu but it comes up with a few errors during install, one being Linux-386 setup failure, does anyone know what causes this or does anyone have a link to the ubuntuforums with similar issues so I can try and help him out of the Windows situation?
[03:29] <cwillu> _ian: do you need the latest version of amarok?
[03:29] <Crazed> does onyone know why I don't get any GDM login screen with VNC ?
[03:29] <cwillu> _ian: it insatlled fine for me just out of the normal repositories
[03:29] <SlackRat> lol, reverting to console is half the fun of linux
[03:29] <dabomb422> cybertoast: I have no problem with totem.  It's my package managers and C/C++ compilers
[03:29] <SlackRat> faster , cleaner and easier to troubleshoot
[03:29] <cr3> cwillu: I'll see if there's a bug about that logged in malone
[03:29] <cwillu> oops
[03:29] <synic> ...not to mention half the usefulness.  remote administration ++
[03:29] <javiolo> are there any problems for intel 64 bits ?
[03:29] <cwillu> _ian: sorry, wrong guy :)
[03:30] <_ian> cwillu not really i got xmms up and running...  i jsut want my office files so i can copy it and use it with open office ehhe
[03:30] <cybertoast> dabomb: what happens?
[03:30] <cwillu> Protostar: do you need the latest version?  amarok installed just fine for me out of the standard repo's
[03:30] <cwillu> _ian: I know, I sent those messages to the wrong person
[03:30] <Protostar> Not really
[03:30] <SlackRat> anyone install ubuntu from the linux format dvd??
[03:30] <cwillu> _ian: can you pastebin /etc/fstab ?
[03:30] <Protostar> Should I change my sources list?
[03:31] <dabomb422> SlackRat: all permissions look fine to me (-rwxr-xr-x)
[03:31] <cwillu> Protostar: k, I'd try removing the amarok repositories, then apt-get update and try reinstalling
[03:31] <SlackRat> hmn, well thats not the issue then
[03:31] <Protostar> k, thx
[03:31] <Protostar> i'll try that
[03:31] <cwillu> _ian: did you need write support to the windows drives, or is read-only fine?
[03:31] <SlackRat> <trying to remember how i got round those errors for exe>
[03:31] <dabomb422> cybertoast: well, none of the package managers will connect to the internet, even though anyother app will.
[03:32] <compengi> how do i update my java runtime?
[03:32] <dabomb422> cybertoast: lemme grab the error...
[03:32] <Protostar> WOOT
[03:32] <_ian> hmm is linux capable of writing to ntfs without corruption? well im really new so sorry if i ahve it all wrong
[03:32] <Protostar> its working
[03:32] <cwillu> yay
[03:32] <Protostar> thanks for all your help cwillu
[03:32] <cwillu> _ian: there's a few approaches
[03:32] <Protostar> I really appreciate it
[03:32] <cybertoast> dabomb: give me output of apt-get update
[03:32] <cwillu> Protostar: np
[03:32] <compengi> _ian, no you can't write on ntfs
[03:32] <ChaosFan> _ian: write support for ntfs is "experimental"
[03:32] <cwillu> _ian: the latest one I'm not familiar with (some native solution that's actually stable apaprently)
[03:33] <_ian> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22812
[03:33] <ChaosFan> you could try, but i know far more cases corrupting the filesystem than not
[03:34] <Crazed> rly gay VNC
[03:34] <Crazed> not working at all :p
[03:34] <_ian> ok read  will  be fine
[03:34] <cwillu> _ian: k
[03:34] <cwillu> _ian: you've got a typo on /dev/hda2 (defualts)
[03:35] <Descention> is it possible to bridge two eth connections in ubuntu?
[03:35] <cwillu> _ian: then on both hda1 and hda2, change defaults to defaults,umask=0000
[03:35] <dabomb422> cybertoast: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22815
[03:35] <cwillu> _ian: this will make those readable to anybody who can log onto your computer though
[03:35] <cwillu> _ian: which is generally what I want, but might not be what you want
[03:36] <_ian> no problem....anybody is only mebody ehheeh ...thanks a lot i tried tweaking fstab also thats why there a typo ive b een reading a lot and yes it is hard to learn ehhehe
[03:36] <[GuS] > Hi people!! i've updated the kernel on my ubuntu installation on a ASUS K8N4-E mother, that i had fixed before a problem with boot... i forgot the option in grub.. :(
[03:36] <cwillu> _ian: you can get more specific by setting the group or user owner on it, and changing the permission mask to suit (man mount will have info on how to do that)
[03:36] <Jack_Sparrow> _ian  fyi typo on line 007
[03:36] <cwillu> Jack_Sparrow: you're so 5-minutes-ago :)
[03:37] <_ian> yeah capt jack thanks
[03:37] <cwillu> _ian: then if you want write support, you can do the fusefs approach (uses the windows driver to write to it), but i find it a little less than stable.  no data corruption issues, but I've had it lock the drive up so I need to reboot to access it again
[03:38] <dabomb422> cybertoast: so, any news yet?
[03:38] <Jack_Sparrow> cwillu: It took 4 for the Ub paste to load..
[03:38] <Descention> does anyone know if i can create an ethernet bridge in ubuntu?
[03:38] <cwillu> _ian: there's also some new fangled native driver that's supposed to be stable, but I haven't played with it yet
[03:38] <cwillu> lol
[03:38] <_ian> well i wouldnt take the risk not until i understand how kubuntu works ehhe
[03:38] <cybertoast> dabomb: you seem to have a proxy or something that's goofing. try 'grep -r http_proxy /etc/*' and 'grep -r http_proxy $HOME/.*'
[03:39] <ChaosFan> Descention: i know someone who did that once, but not how... at least there seems to be a way ;)
[03:39] <cybertoast> dabomb: sorry, that should be 'grep -r http_proxy ~/*'
[03:39] <cwillu> _ian: once you've changed the file, sudo umount /media/hda1...hda2 and sudo mount -a, and you should be good
[03:39] <abhinay> how to backup (or make into .iso file) the CD ?
[03:39] <abhinay> in shell ?
[03:40] <cybertoast> dabomb: this thread (http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=310&) has solution to your problems
[03:40] <[GuS] > again... Some knows ho to fix the problem related to ASUS K8N4-E boot?... i forgot the lines to add in the grub... is about PCI problems...
[03:40] <SlackRat> noapci?
[03:40] <_ian> on uymoutn hda2 it said its not mounted
[03:40] <[GuS] > yes!
[03:40] <[GuS] > that one
[03:40] <[GuS] > thanks SlackRat
[03:40] <_ian> when i did sudo mount -a no media mounted
[03:40] <SlackRat> no problem
[03:41] <_ian> i mean medium found
[03:41] <[GuS] > i forgot that one :)
[03:41] <[GuS] > so is noapci in grub kernel boot
[03:41] <SlackRat> sometimes on some distros apci=no
[03:41] <cybertoast> can anyone help me get microphone input working (recording sound) pls
[03:41] <[GuS] > ok
[03:41] <_ian> or should i just restart?
[03:41] <visik7> eclipse packaged on dapper doesn't handle alternatives properly
[03:41] <[GuS] > yeah.. i forgot.. this mother need that option at least in Kubuntu
[03:41] <cwillu> _ian: you could, although this should also work unless there's something else wrong
[03:41] <Jack_Sparrow> acpi=off
[03:41] <[GuS] > i did test it in ubuntu
[03:41] <[GuS] > didn*
[03:41] <cwillu> _ian: do you have any shells/windows open to that directory?
[03:42] <tc_> anyone know how to change the color of my background on my windows like if i open my home folder...instead of having white background,have it black or even better semi transperent?
[03:42] <SlackRat> has anyone used the ubuntu dvd from linux format magazine? i strongly recommend it, unless its the same as the standard ubuntu dvd
[03:42] <[GuS] > Jack_Sparrow, that will not work 100%
[03:42] <[GuS] > just works with apci=no
[03:42] <SlackRat> cool
[03:42] <[GuS] > with acpi=off... the mouse will no t work on this mother
[03:42] <Jack_Sparrow> INteresting
[03:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Didnt know there was a difference
[03:43] <[GuS] > seems yes :)
[03:43] <dabomb422> cybertoast: thanks for the thread link.  It appears that anon-proxy messed with the settings (which I installed but later uninstalled)
[03:43] <tc_> anyone have a website etc even for transperent background inside of a window
[03:43] <cwillu> Jack_Sparrow: there's 4 different acpi-like flags that are all slightly different;  they're listed on wiki.ubuntu.com somewhere

[03:47] <tc_> like default ubuntu theme style is white or greyish background black text..i want white text black background
[03:47] <dabomb422> megan00b: those are boot loaders, which lets you select which OS or Linux kernal to boot from.

[03:47] <infidel> cwillu: does gaim even support webcan and voice?

[03:52] <megan00b> what ive found out from google so far is that somehow ubuntu didn't install grub or lilo. but I cant seem to find a way to install it from the live cd that actually works
[03:52] <dennda> Tonren, ubuntu-desktop might help :)
[03:52] <dabomb422> Linuturk_code: would megan00b be able to install grub/lilo from the internet?
[03:52] <[GuS] > well.. to confirm SlackRat and Jack_Sparrow this mother (ASUS K8N4-E) only will boot with acpi=off and noapci options
[03:52] <Tonren> dennda: Installing the other desktop packages UNinstalls ubuntu-desktop?
[03:53] <jake> can anybody help solve a libxfixes dependency issue?
[03:53] <[GuS] > interesting to take care
[03:53] <dennda> no i do not think so
[03:53] <dennda> ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package only
[03:53] <Linuturk_code> dabomb422, I'm not sure, I'm at a loss
[03:53] <dennda> but maybe the configuration is redone then
[03:53] <dabomb422> Linuturk_code: I'm almost positive that it's an option on there
[03:54] <Jack_Sparrow> [GuS] : It takes both of those on that board?
[03:54] <Tonren> dennda: Hmm, interesting.  I'll try it out
[03:54] <[GuS] > yes
[03:54] <hc> hello
[03:54] <[GuS] > indeed needs thosw two options
[03:54] <[GuS] > will not work with only one
[03:54] <hc> all right, when i configure denyhosts, and i want the log to be at /var/log/denyhosts.log
[03:54] <hc> should i create that file?
[03:54] <Tonren> dennda: It says ubuntu-desktop is already at the latest version.  :\
[03:54] <hc> if i have to create it, how? using nano?
[03:55] <[GuS] > if you dont add thse options.. the MB will no boot and HD will be not recognized (bedides PCI errors)
[03:56] <bezibaerchen> hc: (sudo) touch /var/log/denyhosts.log
