[06:41] <Phrozen_One[Away> has anyone in here had experience with Ubuntu in an educational \ lab enviroment?
[06:41] <Dr_willis> heh
[06:41] <Nutubuntu> HorizonXP, n/p
[06:41] <james296> the boot disk doesnt fix the boot partition it only boots to dos, hes right
[06:41] <n2diy> james296: so boot from a live cd, and move his stuff off the box via usb, whatever?
[06:41] <ubotu> nano: free Pico clone with some new features. In component main, is standard. Version 2.0.2-1 (feisty), package size 280 kB, installed size 1624 kB
[06:41] <arrrghhh> n2diy, no disc drive...
[06:41] <terayam> esun819:  Not to my knowledge, I just go wirelessly from this computer to a router to the internet.  Do I need to open ports or something?
[06:41] <SqrlKng> Hey all .. How many different "parts" are there to updating the nvidia driver?  There's glx (glx-new), the kernel module .. what else is there?
[06:41] <arrrghhh> nano is an editor...
[06:41] <slavik_> use vim
[06:41] <james296> how could I boot from a live CD if he has no CD rom drive
[06:41] <slavik_> or emacs if you feel masochistic
[06:41] <arrrghhh> SqrlKng, those are different drivers
[06:42] <arrrghhh> SqrlKng, legacy drivers & whatnot
[06:42] <administrator> well this guide is using kubuntu http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/06/05/build_your_own_server/4
[06:42] <esun819> terayam: shouldn't have to, konqueror as web browser would use the default http 80 port
[06:42] <esun819> hmm
[06:42] <Nutubuntu> slavik_, s/masochistic/emacsochistic
[06:42] <n2diy> arrrghhh: so move the hard drive to another box?
[06:42] <slavik_> administrator: did you get kubuntu because of the guide?
[06:42] <james296> and live CD? Im talkin about Windows 2000 nothing linux related
[06:42] <wsjunior> does anybody know a definitive fix for this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/68540
[06:42] <administrator> slavik, yes
[06:42] <SqrlKng> the different glx ones, yeah, but whenever I try to boot it says that my driver version doesn't match the kernel version, or something like that -- and I thought I'd updated both of those
[06:42] <esun819> james296: you can get a USB cd drive
[06:42] <arrrghhh> james296, he's got a good point, move the hdd to your external enclosure & get the data off of it
[06:42] <slavik_> Nutubuntu: ty, from now on you shall be known as my personal spell checker/corrector :)
[06:42] <Phrozen_One[Away> has anyone worked out a single sign on solution for Ubuntu?
[06:42] <w116tjb> Xubuntu uses less resources...
[06:42] <terayam> esun819:  Thats what I figured, but I think it's strange that only konqueror and Amarok are affected
[06:42] <Nutubuntu> ;P
[06:42] <arrrghhh> james296, since i guess you're not willing to use the win98 boot disk properly
[06:43] <user1__> whats xbuntu
[06:43] <jscinoz> If i take my usb drive and plug it into a different computer, does it's UUID remain the same?
[06:43] <arrrghhh> user1__, a window manager, xfce
[06:43] <slavik_> user1__: a version of ubuntu that uses xfce isntead of gnome
[06:43] <esun819> terayam: that is really strange. sorry wish i had an idea what was going on there. have you checked launchpad for any similar errors?
[06:43] <w116tjb> A version of Ubuntu that uses the XFCE window manager.
[06:43] <w116tjb> It's more lightweight than Gnome.
[06:43] <james296> a USB CD rom drive is too expensive though
[06:43] <w116tjb> Better for older machines.
[06:43] <Bspec> in what directory are mozilla plugins installed?
[06:43] <user1__> but i want boxbuntu
[06:43] <esun819> what do you guys think of enlightenmet
[06:43] <esun819> *ment
[06:43] <esun819> E17
[06:44] <user1__> is there buxbuntu?
[06:44] <slavik_> Bspec: somewhere in ~/.mozilla
[06:44] <w116tjb> Boxbuntu?
[06:44] <user1__> yah
[06:44] <administrator> so your telling me I downloaded kubuntu iso burned it, and it didn't even include kubuntu-desktop????
[06:44] <arrrghhh> james296, if you have an external enclosure for a hdd and an internal cdrom drive that should work
[06:44] <esun819> there is a Fluxbuntu
[06:44] <user1__> *box buntu
[06:44] <slavik_> esun819: e17 is still alpha I think
[06:44] <user1__> fluxbuntu?
[06:44] <CppIsWeird> how do i search for a file on my computer?
[06:44] <administrator> http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/06/05/build_your_own_server/4 it does
[06:44] <esun819> administrator: if you installed from the kubuntu CD it should be there by default
[06:44] <slavik_> CppIsWeird: search for files dialog, or locate in terminal
[06:44] <administrator> Yes oddly enough it isn'
[06:44] <slavik_> there is also find
[06:44] <Bspec> slavik_: so all mozilla based browsers get their plugins from that folder? including firefox and epiphany?
[06:44] <terayam> esun819:  I don't think I have that.  I'm on kubuntu, maybe thats why
[06:44] <esun819> CppIsWeird: i recommend installing beagle, it indexes your files
[06:44] <arrrghhh> administrator, you might have a bad iso
[06:44] <james296> no I dont have an internal cd rom drive for his laptop
[06:44] <administrator> rofl
[06:45] <slavik_> administrator: did you uninstall anything?
[06:45] <administrator> ...yes
[06:45] <n2diy> CppIsWeird: locate, find, etc...
[06:45] <esun819> terayam: go to https://launchpad.net/
[06:45] <w116tjb> Fluxbuntu is another lightweight distro, but I'd use Xubuntu before Fluxbuntu.
[06:45] <slavik_> tracker > beagle
[06:45] <esun819> its the site where bugs are listed for program
[06:45] <arrrghhh> james296, an internal cdrom drive at all
[06:45] <esun819> s
[06:45] <administrator> uh....stuff didn't need
[06:45] <administrator> multimedia, gaim etc etc (using chatzilla)
[06:45] <administrator> but as the guide stated made sure kubuntu-desktop wasn't uninstalled
[06:46] <james296> yes in my desktop computer but that is an IDE drive wont work
[06:46] <administrator> then ran into terminal problems
[06:46] <slavik_> administrator: kubuntu-desktop was there, you just removed it ... don't blindly remove packages please, I already killed a Fedora system twice this way
[06:46] <esun819> slavik_ : yeah it is, lol, i booted a live CD i was really interested in the mac-style dock
[06:46] <slavik_> ELF? what is ELF? gone!!! ... hey, why isn't anything working?! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
[06:46] <Nutubuntu> ayb
[06:46] <administrator> But I made sure it was't really removed by checking the box
[06:46] <administrator> I'm not that delerious
[06:47] <Nutubuntu> Question about dump & restore. The description of dump says it's for the ext2 fs. Is it also compatible with ext3? I want to copy the /home partition from my old computer to my new one, which has new disks. The partitions are of different size. Some of the files are > 4GB. I think dump / restore may be my best choices, but I'm a n00b and would be grateful for advice from someone who's already done this.
[06:47] <orbisvicis> is there a problem with 7.04's x264 library, or was that an older ubuntu ?
[06:47] <administrator> Is it possible that kubuntu-desktop is removed even though it doesn't showup as removed
[06:47] <administrator> I removed some calculator crap
[06:47] <terayam> esun819:  join it then I guess?
[06:47] <administrator> abi word
[06:47] <slavik_> Nutubuntu: put both drives into same system, then use knoppix or such :)
[06:47] <arrrghhh> hey thanks for the beagle tip
[06:48] <intelikey>           i need to modify a script for gui use,  what command do you use for a "read -p"  in the xwindow ?
[06:48] <slavik_> Nutubuntu: tar cpf - -C /old/home/dir | tar xpf - -C /new/home/dir
[06:48] <slavik_> Nutubuntu: memorize that command
[06:48] <esun819> terayam: im looking on launchpad now, it doesnt look like there are any similar issues reported :S
[06:48] <slavik_> helped me pass sysadmin course on fbsd ^^
[06:48] <terayam> esun819: that's unfortunate
[06:48] <slavik_> ooh, it's wrong
[06:48] <Nutubuntu> slavik_, thanks ... that pipes the creation of the archive into the unpacking of the archive? Does it leave create/mod/access times alone?
[06:49] <slavik_> Nutubuntu: tar cpf - -C /old/home/dir . | tar xpf - -C /new/home/dir
[06:49] <slavik_> there
[06:49] <slavik_> Nutubuntu: not sure, didn't care for the access/creation times :P
[06:49] <slavik_> whatever default is :P
[06:49] <slavik_> p is for preserving permissions :)
[06:49] <esun819> sorry terayam
[06:49] <Nutubuntu> t/y slavik_ I'll read up on it ... I'm not clever about tar (yet)
[06:49] <SlickMcRunfast> How to I findout what filesytem a drive is thats not mounted?
[06:50] <CppIsWeird> if i just compiled something, how do i run it?
[06:50] <slavik_> Nutubuntu: man tar for the rest
[06:50] <intelikey> tar preserves perms by default
[06:50] <slavik_> SlickMcRunfast: that is something you have to know or be able to guess :)
[06:50] <palomer> very carefully
[06:50] <slavik_> or what palomer said
[06:50] <administrator> see when I try and remove something it says xubuntu-desktop is going to be removed, which means it still there right?
[06:50] <terayam> esun819:  It's alright, I don't mind so much about knoqueror, but for Amarok I'm a real big fan of shoutcast streams
[06:50] <shadeofgrey> okay folks. im ready to install ubuntu on my intel mac -- coreduo macbookpro
[06:50] <slavik_> administrator: no ...
[06:50] <shadeofgrey> i backed up everything and downloaded boot camp
[06:51] <slavik_> shadeofgrey: return it and get core2duo :P
[06:51] <intelikey>           i need to modify a script for gui use,  what command do you use for a "read -p"  in the xwindow ?    anyone ?
[06:51] <shadeofgrey> now i need help with the actual install process
[06:51] <slavik_> shadeofgrey: wasn't bootcamp for windows? grub is efi aware afaik
[06:51] <intelikey> celeron M     is that 32 or 64 bit ?
[06:51] <administrator> OK so best suggestion from here would be to install kubuntu-desktop and all the crap in it then remove stuff I don't need AGAIN?
[06:51] <slavik_> intelikey: no diea, cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep lm
[06:51] <shadeofgrey> slavik_, you have to install bootcamp to get ubuntu runing on intel macs
[06:52] <intelikey> administrator install kde
[06:52] <slavik_> that give anything?
[06:52] <Fuentes12> [Iaeee, algum do Brasil ai para ajudaR?]
[06:52] <slavik_> !br
[06:52] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigado.
[06:52] <administrator> kde?
[06:52] <Fuentes12> !br
[06:52] <administrator> im using kubuntu
[06:52] <jetscreamer> too slow
[06:52] <n2diy> administrator: no install, and don't remove anything.
[06:52] <administrator> but I'm trying to run a server
[06:52] <administrator>  I don't need open office
[06:52] <Nutubuntu> administrator, if you want a minimal KDE install, you could sudo apt-get install kde-core
[06:52] <slavik_> administrator: get the server isntall cd
[06:52] <jetscreamer> remove it
[06:53] <administrator> to fix my terminal?
[06:53] <intelikey> administrator oh you don't need any gui.   install the server installl
[06:53] <Nutubuntu> Oh ... for a server, what slavik_ said, administrator
[06:53] <administrator> lol yes I do
[06:53] <administrator> http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/06/05/build_your_own_server/4
[06:53] <slavik_> administrator: with it, there won't be a terminal to fix ;)
[06:53] <n2diy> administrator: I thought you where trying to recover you buddies data?
[06:53] <slavik_> administrator: why you need X on a server?
[06:53] <administrator> .... no wrong guy
[06:53] <administrator> whats x?
[06:53] <slavik_> n2diy: wrong guy :P
[06:53] <jetscreamer> xorg
[06:53] <gaten> im seeing errors in dmesg indicating FAT: unable to read boot sector and so on. this is with multiple blank cds, think my drive is going bad?
[06:53] <jetscreamer> !info xorg
[06:53] <jscinoz> If i take a drive from one computer to another does the UUID change?
[06:53] <ubotu> xorg: X.Org X Window System. In component main, is optional. Version 1:7.2-0ubuntu11 (feisty), package size 25 kB, installed size 52 kB
[06:54] <n2diy> administrator: roger, sorry.
[06:54] <administrator> because I'm nub and get scared of black screens
[06:54] <slavik_> administrator: X is the stuff that shows you pretty pictures of ladies with no clotes ;) along with the desktop and such (stuff below KDE/Gnome)
[06:54] <jetscreamer> you can see all that in console
[06:54] <administrator> Who doesn't want that?!!!
[06:54] <Nutubuntu> o_O ... thought that was xxxserver ?
[06:54] <jetscreamer> you don't need X for that
[06:54] <administrator> Yea even this package manager shit is confusing enough
[06:54] <jetscreamer> mplayer
[06:54] <slavik_> jetscreamer: ascii art?
[06:54] <administrator> Install this that
[06:54] <slavik_> mplayer doesn't need an X server?
[06:54] <jetscreamer> no
[06:54] <jetscreamer> it's cool
[06:54] <administrator> brb
[06:54] <slavik_> jetscreamer: ooh, I did not know that :P
[06:55] <xenex> Would you guys suggest using http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/?
[06:55] <slavik_> jetscreamer: btw, you checked out SMPlayer yet?
[06:55] <slavik_> !info smplayer
[06:55] <ubotu> Package smplayer does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[06:55] <slavik_> :(
[06:55] <slavik_> xenex, yes, if you need
[06:55] <jetscreamer> no never seen it
[06:56] <n2diy> xenex: but avoid automatix
[06:56] <slavik_> jetscreamer: better than the mplayer supplied front end :P
[06:56] <xenex> n2diy, i know :P
[06:56] <slavik_> n2diy: I'm told automatix is safe now ... or still not?
[06:56] <jetscreamer> when i use mplayer it's in console or xterm... usually i just use mencoder, and xine-ui to watch stuff though
[06:56] <n2diy> ! automatic | slavik_
[06:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about automatic - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:57] <jetscreamer> x not c
[06:57] <slavik_> n2diy: I know what it is
[06:57] <n2diy> ! automatix | slavik_
[06:57] <ubotu> slavik_: Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[06:57] <nano_> hi anybody knows about connecting to a usb device? got a problem, please help, thanks
[06:57] <Nutubuntu> !anyone
[06:57] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[06:57] <xenex> slavik_, automatix broke my system 2 weeks ago
[06:57] <slavik_> nano_: conenct your device, you're welcome
[06:57] <n2diy> slavik_ doesn't appear to be supported?
[06:57] <slavik_> xenex: learned the hard way? :P
[06:57] <jscinoz> If i take a drive from one computer to another does the UUID change?
[06:57] <incandenzian> I just downloaded mldonkey, but there is no server list.
[06:57] <xenex> slavik_, ;p
[06:57] <jetscreamer> jscinoz: no
[06:58] <incandenzian> I just downloaded a server.met file, which Ubuntu says is a bin file
[06:58] <jetscreamer> jscinoz: only if you 'format' it
[06:58] <jscinoz> alright thanks
[06:58] <slavik_> jscinoz: no, UUID is generated using the serial of the drive or something like that
[06:58] <xenex> slavik_, it killed oss, xorg, and various other things
[06:58] <jetscreamer> partition
[06:58] <jscinoz> ok, so if i have a USB hdd and a boot cd with grub on it, i shouldnt need to change the grub entry on the CD?
[06:58] <jscinoz> on different computers
[06:58] <slavik_> jscinoz: no
[06:58] <jetscreamer> no don't think so, never tried personally though
[06:59] <colbert> I have installed Feisty but kept my Edgy, I want to copy over my crontab from it to this install, how do I do it ??
[06:59] <jetscreamer> cp -a
[06:59] <ddcc> Hi, i'm trying to run this " sudo iptables -A DROP -p TCP -m state --state ESTABLISHED tcp --sport 15779 --tcp-flags ALL RST" to get iptables to add a rule to drop tcp rst packet that are established from port 15779. Iptables doesn't accept the rule though, it tells me that "No chain/target/match by that name." I'm on Ubuntu feisty. Help would be appreciated.
[06:59] <slavik_> colbert: mount the other isntall, find crontab and move it over ...
[06:59] <jscinoz> i'm following the grub CD guide at http://orgs.man.ac.uk/documentation/grub/grub_3.html#SEC11 but i dont have a /usr/share/grub directory, should i?
[06:59] <nano_> hi slavik_ i already did connect it but it does not mount automatically
[06:59] <Fuentes12> [install HSP56 MicroModem in Ubuntu 7.04? ? ?? ??]
[06:59] <Fuentes12> [HELP]
[06:59] <slavik_> nano_: try reinstalling hald package
[06:59] <slavik_> nano_: then rebooting
[07:00] <nano_> hald package?
[07:00] <nano_> slavik_: hald package?
[07:00] <slavik_> nano_: next time please start with the actual problem (automount no worky)
[07:00] <slavik_> nano_: yes
[07:00] <n2diy> colbert: back up your old fstab!!!
[07:00] <jetscreamer> there is a package for those iirc, Fuentes12 ... can't rem the name.. it's not slmodem... go to linmodems.org
[07:00] <orbisvicis> is ./configure --with-pic important for amd64?
[07:00] <jetscreamer> !linmodem
[07:00] <administrator> OK heres my problem, I'm trying to run a server, thats able to to download torrents and work something like this guide http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/06/05/build_your_own_server/4
[07:00] <slavik_> nano_: in synaptic, find it and choose reinstall
[07:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about linmodem - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:00] <jetscreamer> !linmodems
[07:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about linmodems - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:00] <administrator> Should I use kubuntu?
[07:00] <administrator> its slow computer
[07:00] <jetscreamer> lobotomizedbot
[07:00] <jscinoz> is there a quick command to return the UUID of a specific drive (/dev/sdc1)
[07:01] <slavik_> administrator: stop trying to follow a guide that claims to show you how to set up everything, isntead use forums and wiki for guides
[07:01] <bulmer> jscinoz: mount
[07:01] <jetscreamer> ls /dev/disk/by-uuis
[07:01] <jetscreamer> err uuid
[07:01] <Dr_willis> uuid :) heh
[07:01] <n2diy> ! winmodem | jetscreamer
[07:01] <nano_> slavik_: is this also applicable if this device was seen in lsusb?
[07:01] <jscinoz> jetscreamer, that just shows a list, how can itell which corresponds to which drive?
[07:01] <jetscreamer> i know what a winmodem is
[07:01] <Frogzoo> ddcc: you need to add that to the right table for starters, OUTPUT I think in this case, and it's '-j DROP' to drop the packet
[07:01] <slavik_> nano_: yes
[07:01] <jetscreamer> i don't know what the bot knows
[07:01] <administrator> point taken, however I should start with a strong base and should that be kubuntu or is there a server version of ubuntu?
[07:01] <slavik_> nano_: reinstalling hald worked for me, ymmv
[07:01] <ubotu> jetscreamer: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[07:01] <jetscreamer> there is a server version
[07:01] <Dr_willis> jscinoz,  ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid shows drive --> uuid
[07:02] <jscinoz> thanks
[07:02] <slavik_> administrator: there is a server version
[07:02] <ddcc> ok, i'll try that shouldn't it be input though, since it's coming from a foreign host?
[07:02] <Dr_willis> jscinoz,  thers a lot of neat things in /dev/disk :)
[07:02] <slavik_> administrator: please don't rush this and take things slowly, also keep a log of stuff you do (when you change config files and such) otherwise, you'll be a crappy sysadmin :)
[07:02] <jscinoz> hehe
[07:02] <SqrlKng> Hey, I think I've gotten my computer to work with the nvidia driver (because my screen resolution is fixed), but it still seems like it's not working .. for example, the visualization in totem is still very laggy
[07:03] <jetscreamer> SqrlKng: run glxinfo in an xterm and see who provides glx and gl
[07:03] <administrator> OK thanks for advice, you recommend server version of ubuntu for simple home server needs?
[07:03] <Frogzoo> ddcc: then why sport=15779?
[07:03] <slavik_> administrator: anything that is linux or freebsd will work for you
[07:03] <n2diy> administrator: ditto what slavik_ said, a notebook will bail you out of a jam.
[07:03] <sx66> Lag: 0.3
[07:03] <jetscreamer> glx and opengl
[07:03] <slavik_> and I really mean anything
[07:03] <slavik_> anything *nix
[07:03] <Frogzoo> ddcc: explain one more time what you want
[07:03] <ddcc> oh
[07:03] <jetscreamer> if you want a server install a server
[07:03] <ddcc> whoops
[07:04] <ddcc> i got confused.
[07:04] <ddcc> i was thinking that on their side it's source port, but on my side it's dport
[07:04] <jetscreamer> instal what you want, you can always apt-get install or apt-get remove something
[07:04] <SqrlKng> jetscreamer:  It says "Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"."
[07:04] <nano_> slavik_: no hald in here --- or hal?
[07:04] <Frogzoo> ddcc: you just want to drop connections to port 15779 ?
[07:04] <slavik_> SqrlKng: glx isn't getting loaded
[07:04] <jetscreamer> SqrlKng: apt-cache search nvidia | grep glx and install something maybe
[07:04] <m0> hello, why does LN  (when doing ln -f -d /home/mydir /home/m0/temp/mydir  (if I do that twice) it does nested symbloic links?
[07:04] <ddcc> established tcp reset connections, yes
[07:04] <m0> is that a bug?
[07:05] <ddcc> *packets*
[07:05] <slavik_> ddcc: isntall firestarter and use that to admin the firewall
[07:05] <burnerx> i got a server setup and changed from dhcp to static ip and now i can't ping out other than localhost
[07:05] <administrator> I want the "ease" of ubuntu for linux, I'm a windows nub and don't want to be dealing with some crazy linux distrobution
[07:05] <writingsama> hey guys...I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 notebook, ATI mobility x1400, 1gig RAM, trying to install ubuntu 7.04. the liveCD didn't work so I did an alternate install. booted up, X won't start yet again. says no monitor found. xorg.conf has my device as "vesa" which should work. any thoughts?
[07:05] <slavik_> administrator: then keep all of kubuntu, besides OpenOffice just sits on hdd
[07:05] <Music_Shuffle> Crazy is relative.  :P
[07:05] <KingMoila> !logitech
[07:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about logitech - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:05] <jscinoz> i downloaded the grub cvs, and i'm looking for a stage2_eltorito file but i cant find it anywhere, where can i find it?
[07:05] <JMak642> mike3_: i got my rt2500 working, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=241565&highlight=WMP54G and mike3_ to thank for it
[07:05] <esun819> writingsama: go to the failsafe terminal and type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:06] <ddcc> frogzoo: i remember reading that firestarter prompts for the root password on startup, right?
[07:06] <esun819> or boot into recovery mode
[07:06] <esun819> and type that
[07:06] <jetscreamer> jscinoz: stage stuff is in /boot/grub , maybe elsewhere not sure
[07:06] <KingMoila> Hi, how can I enable my side buttons in Logitech's MX1000 mouse?
[07:06] <writingsama> esun819: will that work if my wireless wouldn't configure yet?
[07:06] <slavik_> ddcc: not for root, but for someone with sudo rights
[07:06] <SqrlKng> slavik_:  Any ideas on fixing?  I've updated and downloaded everything I can find with "nvidia" in the name, pretty much
[07:06] <jscinoz> ok thanks
[07:06] <n2diy> writingsama:   check out http://www.linux-laptop.net/
[07:06] <administrator> OK I'm downloading kubuntu-desktop right now (this is so cool I don't need to restart) anyway I have a HDD problem, I can't delete stuff off my second hard drive
[07:06] <Nutubuntu> Will the dump/restore package available for Feisty -- which says it's for ext2 fs -- also work for ext3 fs?
[07:06] <slavik_> SqrlKng: make sure the glx file is there? (gimmie the pastebin link again)
[07:06] <esun819> writingsama: it should work even without wireless, you just have to configure it to use the proper video settigs
[07:06] <ddcc> ok, thanks slavik
[07:06] <JMak642> so can anyone advise as to what it is going to take to get my monitor to go to 1920x1200
[07:06] <jetscreamer> jscinoz: sudo updatedb && locate eltorito or something
[07:06] <slavik_> JMak642: proper video driver
[07:06] <esun819> when you booted from the live CD, was the xserver okay?
[07:07] <writingsama> esun819: I configured during setup, I added 1024x768 and 1280x800 (native res), will this be any different?
[07:07] <SqrlKng> slavik_:  Which pastebin link didja want?
[07:07] <jscinoz> thanks :)
[07:07] <slavik_> SqrlKng: the log stuff
[07:07] <slavik_> from X
[07:07] <jetscreamer> note updatedb can take a while
[07:07] <Nutubuntu> administrator, if you want a minimal KDE gui look up kde-core - less "stuff" is installed than with kde-desktop, might be what you're looking for
[07:07] <Frogzoo> ddcc: sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 15779 --tcp-flags ACK RST -j DROP : I think
[07:07] <esun819> writingsama: you should only choose the native res when you reconfigure the xserver
[07:07] <esun819> its a lil dodgy
[07:07] <MISTERTibbs> Nutubuntu, actually KDEbase will give you just the gui w/o most of the applications
[07:08] <writingsama> esun819: ok thanks. guess I'll be back if it doesn't work.
[07:08] <SqrlKng> slavik_: I think it was this one.. http://pastebin.ca/589674
[07:08] <slavik_> wait, why you want to reset connections? don't you want to stop the from happening?
[07:08] <esun819> writingsama: just try the dpkg-reconfigure
[07:08] <esun819> and choose from the settings
[07:08] <JMak642> slavik_: i have just installed the nvidia-glx package
[07:08] <esun819> good luck!
[07:08] <writingsama> tx!
[07:08] <slavik_> (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules//libglx.so
[07:08] <JMak642> but the res doesnt show up on the menu
[07:08] <ddcc> ok frogzoo, let me try that...
[07:08] <ddcc> i've installed firestarter too
[07:08] <Nutubuntu> MISTERTibbs, yes ... one of the two might work for administrator
[07:09] <slavik_> JMak642: I am not the nvidia guy, sorry ... make sure the res is listed in the resolution changing palce
[07:09] <JMak642> where is that place?
[07:09] <MISTERTibbs> Nutubuntu, just my $.02 for the chat, lol!
[07:09] <burnerx> can anyone help ?
[07:09] <slavik_> JMak642: kde or gnome?
[07:09] <burnerx> i got a server setup and changed from dhcp to static ip and now i can't ping out other than localhost
[07:09] <jetscreamer> JMak642: what vid card
[07:09] <Nutubuntu> :)
[07:09] <administrator> So how do I disable @ nutubuntu I just want to fix my GUI terminal
[07:09] <JMak642> slavik_: gnome
[07:09] <esun819> JMak642: try nvidia-xsettings or sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:09] <slavik_> burnerx: you need to set the router :)
[07:09] <administrator> Anyway I have another question, how do I delete stuff off my second HDD?
[07:09] <ddcc> frogzoo, it's successully added.
[07:09] <slavik_> JMak642: system - prefs - screen resolution
[07:09] <ddcc> i'm going to test if it works or not
[07:10] <ddcc> thanks alot!
[07:10] <slavik_> administrator: mount it an rm stuff :)
[07:10] <burnerx> slavik_: what to set in the router ?
[07:10] <Nutubuntu> administrator, I really am "Nu" ... just know a very little about installing kubuntu. Sorry
[07:10] <slavik_> s/an/and
[07:10] <jetscreamer> administrator: just mount it and rm -R /mountpoint/*
[07:10] <slavik_> burnerx: the ip address of your router
[07:10] <slavik_> administrator: you want to get rid of everything on that drive?
[07:10] <administrator> @ slavik and jetscreamer, how I mount it?
[07:10] <administrator> yes
[07:10] <GuyFromHell> alright i'm officially confused. My mp3 player's disk is (finally) writeable. I have everythign set up. i press transfer on amarok and the disk instantly becomes non-writeable. transfering stuff through nautilus works fine though.
[07:10] <burnerx> slavik_: for the server machine ?
[07:10] <administrator> Its just recycle bin stuff
[07:10] <orbisvicis> does the --with-pic option slow down the program?
[07:10] <jetscreamer> administrator: if you copied stuff from it then it is
[07:11] <jetscreamer> JMak642: what vid card
[07:11] <administrator> letover from windows
[07:11] <slavik_> administrator: then 'sudo dd of=/dev/hdwhatever if=/dev/zero'
[07:11] <slavik_> and wait
[07:11] <administrator> k
[07:11] <administrator> how I launch the real terminal then again?
[07:11] <administrator> my GUI one isn't working
[07:11] <slavik_> burnerx: yes, your server is behind a router/nat/firewall right?
[07:11] <jetscreamer> sd usually in ubuntu inmyexp
[07:11] <slavik_> administrator: xterm
[07:11] <administrator> alt
[07:11] <slavik_> alt+f2
[07:11] <administrator> thanks
[07:12] <jetscreamer> ctrl+alt+f2 when in gui
[07:12] <jetscreamer> alt+f7 to get back
[07:12] <GuyFromHell> (found it, FAT: Filesystem panic)
[07:12] <slavik_> jetscreamer: no
[07:12] <burnerx> slavik_: i think so....
[07:12] <jetscreamer> o
[07:12] <slavik_> burnerx: then whatever it's IP is
[07:12] <raddy> Hello Everybody
[07:13] <slavik_> its*
[07:13] <raddy> I recently installed Ubuntu 7.04
[07:13] <slavik_> anyway, night all ...
[07:13] <raddy> from live cd
[07:13] <slavik_> raddy: state the problem, help will come faster
[07:13] <raddy> now i am experiencing two problems
[07:13] <MISTERTibbs> raddy, explain
[07:13] <Nutubuntu> g'night slavik_ be well
[07:14] <vletmix> I just installed ubuntu on a drive which resides on an sata card (not my primary drive) and it won't even bring up the boot menu
[07:14] <raddy> 1 > fsck running for windows filesystems too "everytime"
[07:14] <slavik_> raddy: youa re being like some of my friends, who instroduce their problems for 5 minutes, which pisses me off, because they call me isntead of using IM ...
[07:14] <slavik_> raddy: could you rephrase that?
[07:14] <raddy> that increases the bootup time and comes out from graphical boot
[07:15] <slavik_> fsck runs for windows volumes?
[07:15] <raddy> 1 > fsck running for windows filesystems too "everytime"
[07:15] <slavik_> too = 2? or too = ,too ,
[07:15] <jetscreamer> yes probably even for ntfs if you have ntfsprogs but no idea
[07:16] <vletmix> raddy: you mean it's running fsck on your windows partition every time you boot?
[07:16] <slavik_> hmm, latter ... start by removing them from fstab I guess, or are they FAT(32)?
[07:16] <raddy> slavik_: ok, fsck checking windows filesystems also in everyboot, that increases bootup time and comes out of graphical bot
[07:16] <raddy> boot
[07:16] <slavik_> or boot into windows to fix the ntfs journal (or wipe the mft like my winxp did)
[07:16] <jetscreamer> make the end of the line in fstab be 0 0 not what it is
[07:16] <raddy> that problem not existed in live cd
[07:16] <xenex> W: GPG error: http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org feisty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 3FF0DB166A7476EA
[07:16] <xenex> How would I fix that?
[07:16] <jetscreamer> edit /etc/fstab
[07:16] <slavik_> raddy: betetr, sorry for being Major Hardass, but it's late and I am really tired. :P
[07:16] <jetscreamer> you would install the key
[07:17] <slavik_> xenex: you can ignore it if you trust the source
[07:17] <jetscreamer> one sec
[07:17] <xenex> slavik_, yeah but I can't apt-get update
[07:17] <nano_> slavik_: still dont get mounted
[07:17] <slavik_> xenex: update still goes through, unless something was changed
[07:17] <xenex> slavik_, well i would like it to go away :p
[07:17] <slavik_> nano_: search for the problem on forums, there is one where you reinstall more packages, that did it for me
[07:18] <slavik_> night all
[07:18] <administrator> noo
[07:18] <administrator> ctrl+alt+f2 crashed everything
[07:18] <raddy> 2 > problem, important one, my realtek based wired assus ethernet controller is not usable
[07:18] <Dr_willis> that should of went to the CONSOLE.
[07:18] <jetscreamer> gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 3FF0DB166A7476EA && gpg --export 3FF0DB166A7476EA | sudo apt-key add -
[07:18] <JMak642> esun819: that worked
[07:18] <administrator> whats the command so I can wipe disk 2 and be able to delete and create suff on it
[07:18] <raddy> it is detecting
[07:18] <nano_> yea, thanks, whats the purpose of this room
[07:18] <Dr_willis> alt0ctrl-F7 should get back to X
[07:19] <jetscreamer> mkfs
[07:19] <administrator> ctrl+alt+f2 crashes system
[07:19] <administrator> trying to fix why terminal isn't working
[07:19] <Dr_willis> administrator,  define 'crash'
[07:19] <Dr_willis> did it run into a tree and burst into flames?
[07:19] <administrator> well, ctrl+alt+f2 creates black screen
[07:19] <raddy> but not getting connecteed
[07:19] <raddy> tried dhcp
[07:19] <Dr_willis> did alt-ctrl-F7 get back to the X display?
[07:19] <administrator> but when I try and access GUI terminal it just blacks out and logges me out
[07:19] <jetscreamer> administrator: is that the live cd? do ctrl alt f1
[07:19] <administrator> no
[07:19] <n2diy> Dr_willis: Crash and burn?
[07:20] <administrator> no live CD full kubuntu install and terminal isn't working
[07:20] <jetscreamer> left ctrl left alt
[07:20] <jetscreamer> just run an xterm
[07:20] <administrator> yea I do
[07:20] <Dr_willis> administrator,  sounds to me like ya got either a currupted install, or cd badly burnt. or somthing else.. odd.
[07:20] <administrator> but why all others broken
[07:20] <jetscreamer> disable x starting
[07:20] <administrator> x starting?
[07:20] <jetscreamer> X
[07:21] <administrator> sorry I'm super unixnewb
[07:21] <jetscreamer> chmod -x /etc/init.d/kdm
[07:21] <n2diy> jetscreamer: where is the left key? :)
[07:21] <jetscreamer> +x to restore
[07:21] <jetscreamer> left alt
[07:21] <Dr_willis> Whers that ANY key at!
[07:21] <administrator> woah too fast
[07:21] <jetscreamer> left ctrl
[07:21] <jetscreamer> see also apt-get remove --purge kdm
[07:21] <raddy> it used r1000.ko previously
[07:22] <raddy> but now merged to the kernel tree
[07:22] <administrator> @ dr_willis any way to troubleshoot?
[07:22] <jetscreamer> grep -i zap /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:22] <raddy> it worked fine in opensuse 10.2
[07:22] <nj786> is there a way i can get an update on totem?
[07:22] <nj786> like a newer version
[07:22] <chopchop_> hi, how can i download multiple files with wget and have it display the process in total?
[07:22] <administrator> or should I redownload reburn and reinstall kubuntu again?
[07:23] <n2diy> chopchop_: wget file1 >> file2 server?
[07:24] <raddy> anybody has a clue?????
[07:24] <jetscreamer> administrator: you have to compare the time it might take you to fix it vs the time it will take you to reinstall
[07:24] <nj786> is there a way i can just add in a url link to a media player and it will play the movie form online?
[07:24] <zoidberg_> hey guys can someone help me update from dappaer to edgy
[07:24] <RoC_MasterMind> !update
[07:24] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[07:24] <wols_> nj786: some can, some can't. it's called streaing. vlc usually can
[07:24] <Nutubuntu> administrator, if you're thinking of re-doing the install, maybe try the server install instead of full-on kubuntu. When it's installed successfully add kde-core or kde-base for a minimal KDE environment.
[07:24] <administrator> @ jetscreawmer all i'm trying to do is build a simple home server using http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/06/05/build_your_own_server/4
[07:24] <jetscreamer> administrator: and of course what you feel like doing
[07:25] <chopchop_> n2diy: what does that mean? :?
[07:25] <zoidberg_> when i do the gksu thing i get this message saying "authentication failed"
[07:25] <administrator> try Ubuntu server?
[07:25] <zoidberg_> any help?
[07:25] <user1__> anyone suggest a good notebook? i want it small and light, long battery life, fast with 1G ram or above, and cheap
[07:25] <jetscreamer> administrator: might be quicker to reinstall, but how did it break, or did it ever work?
[07:25] <administrator> computer is really slow
[07:25] <Jordan_U> zoidberg_, Just ask :)
[07:25] <Dion> Hey everyone, I'm thinking about installing off the live CD but during boot i get a message [199.9000000]  buffer i/o error on device fd0, logical block 0 so I'm a bit weary thus far....What are the implications of this message??
[07:25] <zoidberg_> "authenticating the upgrade failed....there might be an error in the server'?
[07:25] <n2diy> chopchop_: wget file1 >> file2 means get file1, and then file2, server is where ever the files are.
[07:26] <administrator> IDK i uninstalled a couple open office packages and a few others and boom try terminal out for first time it doesn't work
[07:26] <Jordan_U> Dion, fd0 is your floppy drive
[07:26] <zoidberg_> Jordan_U, i'm trying to upgrade to edgy from dapper.,,, the gksu thing is giving me problems
[07:26] <Nutubuntu> Dion, it suggests that you don't have a floppy; try turning off the CMOS setting for the floppy
[07:26] <administrator> IDK whether thats because of my ineptability at uninstalling stuff I odn't want or kubuntu itsself
[07:26] <jetscreamer> it says you don't have a floppy in your floppy drive dion... if you put one in it will stfu
[07:26] <youssef_2> Hello. I have upgraded from Dapper to Edgy then to Feisty. Now I can not boot on Feisty because it freezes at an early stage (black screen)
[07:26] <jetscreamer> but it will do it's job if you don't
[07:26] <Jordan_U> zoidberg_, What kind of problems?
[07:26] <chopchop_> n2diy: that means it'll download file1 then file2 or both in the same time ?
[07:26] <jetscreamer> takes longer it seems
[07:26] <Dion> wow, that was too simple, I appreaciate the info guys!
[07:27] <zoidberg_> Jordan_U, it says "authentication failed" when i try to upgrade
[07:27] <nj786> wols_ ok can you show me ho to do it?
[07:27] <nj786> on VLC
[07:27] <Jordan_U> zoidberg_, Try running: sudo apt-get update
[07:27] <Nutubuntu> Will the dump/restore package available for Feisty -- which says it's for ext2 fs -- also work for ext3 fs?
[07:27] <administrator> what packages are needed to run terminal
[07:27] <n2diy> chopchop_: wget, I believe so, check the wget man page to be sure. For most operations like that, that is the correct syntax.
[07:28] <jetscreamer> administrator: did you ever apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade after you installed?
[07:28] <levander> I've just enabled "Desktop Effects".  Now, how do I switch desktops and get the revolving cube graphics?
[07:28] <jetscreamer> could help
[07:28] <chopchop_> n2diy: ok, ill go and read man page :(
[07:28] <zoidberg_> Jordan_U, i get this error
[07:28] <jetscreamer> administrator: if that's an older box you might consider xubuntu or so
[07:28] <zoidberg_> Jordan_U,  i will PM it to u
[07:29] <Jordan_U> !paste | zoidberg_
[07:29] <ubotu> zoidberg_: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[07:29] <n2diy> chopchop_: GL,
[07:29] <administrator> @jetscreamer if that means simply opening synaptic cllicking mark upgrades and installing thats a YES
[07:29] <administrator> I am running kubuntu I'm following http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/06/05/build_your_own_server/4
[07:30] <zoidberg_> Jordan_U, sorry i already sent u a PM...lol...i'll do that next time
[07:30] <administrator> When it said open terminal terminal crashed
[07:30] <jetscreamer> administrator: yes but you have to update the sources also
[07:30] <administrator> how I update sources?
[07:30] <jetscreamer> probably did automatic
[07:30] <zoidberg_> Jordan_U, did u get the PM though?
[07:30] <Jordan_U> zoidberg_, Do it anyways, so other people here can look at it and help
[07:30] <jetscreamer> there's a button, top left i think
[07:30] <Jordan_U> zoidberg_, Yes
[07:30] <levander> There's no guide available as to what you can do with this Desktop Effects thing?  I just figured out "Ctrl Alt Up".  What else is there?
[07:30] <chopchop_> n2diy: thanks, though
[07:31] <administrator> so should I just uninstall terminal then reinstall?
[07:31] <jetscreamer> uh
[07:31] <jetscreamer> you don't just uninstall the console
[07:31] <administrator> lol
[07:31] <zoidberg_> guys can somebody help me
[07:31] <jetscreamer> you do mean console not xterm eh
[07:31] <zoidberg_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27234/
[07:31] <administrator> the GUI
[07:31] <jetscreamer> ah it's the terminal
[07:31] <administrator> whats xterm? That "linux"
[07:31] <jetscreamer> xterminal
[07:31] <jetscreamer> the gui cmd window thing
[07:31] <Jordan_U> levander, Look at any tutorial for compiz, you might also want to download the compiz settings manager, it will also tell you all of the key bindings
[07:32] <administrator> well xterm works but "Terminal" on my menu doesn't
[07:32] <jetscreamer> apt-get install konsole
[07:32] <jetscreamer> or use synaptic
[07:32] <administrator> are you sure? Last time I was told not to do that
[07:32] <jetscreamer> well it's the default kde terminal afaik
[07:32] <administrator> because konsole isn't default to kubuntu
[07:32] <Jordan_U> administrator, What happens when you run "gnome-terminal" from xterm?
[07:32] <jetscreamer> ah
[07:32] <jetscreamer> what is
[07:32] <administrator> at least I don't thing
[07:32] <administrator> think*
[07:33] <Jordan_U> jetscreamer, gnome-terminal
[07:33] <RockSteady> y is the samba shares sometimes missing of files and folders? anyone have any ideas?
[07:33] <jetscreamer> !info konsole
[07:33] <ubotu> konsole: X terminal emulator for KDE. In component main, is optional. Version 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu20.1 (feisty), package size 731 kB, installed size 2228 kB
[07:33] <administrator> how I run gnome-terminal
[07:33] <jetscreamer> in kubuntu?
[07:33] <administrator> yessir
[07:33] <gregorovius> has anyone been able to install torrentflux from the repositories? I get all sorts of DB errors
[07:33] <Frogzoo> administrator: it's in the menu
[07:33] <Jordan_U> administrator, Oh, I thought you were running regular Ubuntu
[07:33] <Jordan_U> ( gnome )
[07:33] <administrator> Acessories > Terminal?
[07:33] <administrator> NO running Kubuntu
[07:34] <administrator> trying to setup server http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/06/05/build_your_own_server/4
[07:34] <jetscreamer> apt-get install konsole
[07:34] <n2diy> zoidberg_: so, did you run apt-get update?
[07:34] <jetscreamer> won't hurt anything
[07:34] <Nutubuntu> good night all, good luck to everyone
[07:34] <linux_user400354> does anyone have experience with forwarding ports with ssh? i need some help. i haven been able to get it working.
[07:34] <jetscreamer> apt-get install konsole gnome-terminal if you want :)
[07:34] <administrator> Is that whats supposed to be working on my computer right now?
[07:34] <zoidberg_> n2diy, yeah thats what i get when i run apt-get update....i just installed dapper fresh from a cd
[07:34] <Jordan_U> linux_user400354, Forewarding ports with ssh or for ssh?
[07:34] <crazy_bus> dpkg and apt are broken.  dpkg --configure -a doesn't come up with any errors but doesn't fix the problem.  Here is a pastbin of some of the error messages; http://pastebin.ca/589769
[07:35] <linux_user400354> Jordan_U: with
[07:35] <jetscreamer> administrator: i don't know what the default terminal is for kubuntu.. for kde it's konsole, al i know
[07:35] <administrator> All i want is terminal to work, it bugs me when I have huge crash bugs like this, or should I just use xterm and unisntall this terminal in my accesories menu?
[07:35] <raddy> can anybody help me in my second problem?
[07:35] <jetscreamer> i use xterm by choice myself
[07:35] <raddy> realtek based wired ethernet controller is not usable
[07:35] <n2diy> zoidberg_: ok,  run apt-get gpg, and try it again.
[07:35] <jetscreamer> ahh
[07:36] <administrator> whats KDE? isn't that on Kubuntu?
[07:36] <Jordan_U> linux_user400354, That doesn't seem possible. Unless I misunderstand what you mean
[07:36] <n2diy> zoidberg_: ok,  run apt-get update gpg, and try it again.
[07:36] <jetscreamer> administrator: kde is the k in kubuntu afaik
[07:36] <linux_user400354> Jordan_U: use google before you go assuming things
[07:37] <administrator> ok lets forget about this little terminal problem I'm having and fix this HDD problem...its in "readonly" mode how do I get it out of that? and why is linux setup to make it read only? wtf happened to usability?
[07:38] <Frogzoo> administrator: it means your / file system didn't pass muster
[07:38] <Jordan_U> linux_user400354, Do you mean tunneling?
[07:38] <zoidberg_> n2diy, it says apt-get update takes no arguments?
[07:38] <Toma-> has anyone had wubi work successfully? Im gettintg a username error
[07:38] <administrator> whats muster?
[07:38] <jetscreamer> i think you can right click the icon and remount it rw, but those files (on the old hd you want to delete) are owned by root probably
[07:38] <Frogzoo> administrator: why doesn't / fsck ? did your install not complete?
[07:38] <zoidberg_> n2diy, and apt-get gpg says invalid operation gpg
[07:38] <n2diy> zoidberg_: ok, try getting gpg again?
[07:39] <administrator> @ frogzoo whats fsck?
[07:39] <n2diy> zoidberg_: Make sure all your repos are enabled.
[07:39] <Frogzoo> administrator: it's a check of the file system that run before / is mounted rw
[07:39] <crimsun> zoidberg_: because 'gpg' is not an operation.  Do you mean to 'install gnupg' ?
[07:39] <administrator> installed kubuntu have many problems...I have no idea I just popped CD in and installed never had any idea run into so many problems
[07:40] <n2diy> administrator: usability is a Winders thing, it means anybody can use your box.
[07:40] <jetscreamer> apt-get install
[07:40] <jetscreamer> --reinstall
[07:40] <administrator> lol can you explain the windows joke winders?
[07:41] <jetscreamer> country slang
[07:41] <administrator> So how do I enable myself to read and write from this second HDD I have thats locked into read only mode?
[07:41] <zoidberg_> n2diy, i have everything uncommented in the sources.list except for the alst two security lines...and if i say apt-get gpg...it says invalid operation
[07:41] <jetscreamer> apt-get install
[07:41] <n2diy> administrator: yes, on a Dvorak keyboard it is easier to type winders, than it is windows.
[07:41] <jetscreamer> --reinstall
[07:42] <n2diy> zoidberg_: can you play in synaptic, it is easier then manually editing your source file?
[07:43] <Frogzoo> administrator: is this a fresh install?
[07:43] <administrator> i uninstall some stuf like abi word and uneeded things
[07:43] <administrator> OK ran into new problem, trash just opened up  50 windows how I close them all?
[07:43] <kudo> hekp me
[07:43] <kudo> help me
[07:43] <Frogzoo> administrator: but otherwise, there's no data of yours on the box?
[07:43] <administrator> their not closing
[07:44] <administrator> On second HDD there is windows (winders) stuff like recycle bin folder etc.
[07:44] <Frogzoo> administrator: of course they're not - it can't write to the disk - one problem at a time
[07:44] <kudo> who is can help me about installing software in linux

[07:44] <preaction> !anyone | kudo
[07:44] <ubotu> kudo: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[07:45] <n2diy> Frogzoo: administrator stop trying to herd cats! :)
[07:45] <administrator> ?
[07:45] <Frogzoo> administrator: boot off the live cd - run fsck on the root file system - reboot & unless there's something else wrong, you should be good
[07:46] <kudo> how install software with extensi .tar.gz in ubuntu???
[07:46] <n2diy> Frogzoo: administrator, ever try and catch two cats at the same time? It can't be done, you have to catch one at a time.
[07:46] <Frogzoo> lol
[07:46] <administrator> OK then I'll ignore my trash problem
[07:46] <shadeofgrey> i cant believe how impossible it is to get ubuntu running on the coreduo macbookpros
[07:46] <administrator> Frogzoo, This problem is only on my second HDD
[07:47] <shadeofgrey> i hope ati goes bankrupt for their lack of good linux support
[07:47] <shadeofgrey> they deserve to
[07:47] <administrator> I don't need to write to the first HDD
[07:47] <bruenig> shadeofgrey, right, and their lack of beos support too
[07:47] <administrator> They won't if you keep buying thier product
[07:47] <shadeofgrey> oh dont worry
[07:47] <Frogzoo> administrator: well where your / is, it's not fscking or would mount rw
[07:47] <deltaphc> when having an application autostart on login, is it possible to always have it start on a certain workspace?
[07:47] <bruenig> or maybe their lack of minix support
[07:47] <shadeofgrey> im tossing this machine as soon as i get the nmoney for a new mbp
[07:47] <bruenig> big hitters
[07:47] <zoidberg_> can someone please help me upgrade from dapper to edgy?
[07:48] <bruenig> !upgrade | zoidberg_
[07:48] <ubotu> zoidberg_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[07:48] <Hor|zon> deltaphc, google devilspie
[07:48] <Frogzoo> zoidberg_: or just forget it & install feisty
[07:48] <administrator> Frogzoo what do you mean / ? All I want to do is be able to delete one file on my second HDD :( when I right lick it says owner is root
[07:48] <kudo> who is can help me install .tar.gz
[07:48] <bruenig> administrator, delete it from terminal with sudo
[07:48] <zoidberg_> Frogzoo, i would install feisty but i dont have any burnable cds
[07:48] <bruenig> !compiling | kudo
[07:48] <ubotu> kudo: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[07:48] <administrator> terminal isn't working on this computer
[07:49] <deltaphc> thanks Hor|zon
[07:49] <administrator> it restarts my computer
[07:49] <Frogzoo> administrator: while / is ro, nothing will work
[07:49] <administrator> whenver I try tro launch it
[07:49] <bruenig> administrator, launch gnome-terminal from the run dialog
[07:49] <shadeofgrey> zoidberg_, just download the proper packages file for edgy synaptic packages and then run sudo -- ah crap whats that command
[07:49] <administrator> Whats / ?
[07:49] <bruenig> alt + f2
[07:49] <administrator> alt f23?
[07:49] <administrator> k
[07:49] <shadeofgrey> its distro-update at the end
[07:50] <administrator> The command "gnome-terminal" failed to run: failed to execute child process "gnome-terminal" (no such file or directory)
[07:50] <bruenig> administrator, run xterm
[07:50] <administrator> ok
[07:50] <administrator> imin
[07:51] <bruenig> administrator, I would try to get that fixed by the way, perhaps uninstalling and installing it gnome-terminal
[07:51] <bruenig> or if you know what you are doing actually trying to see what the problem is
[07:51] <administrator> maybe thats my whole problem....should I use synaptic
[07:51] <administrator> I have no idea what I'm doing thats why I'm here ;) you guys are great
[07:51] <bruenig> administrator, that is not your whole problem
[07:52] <bruenig> it really means nothing, if you can get xterm going, it is just some flaw with that particular application
[07:52] <administrator> so why I need gnome-terminal
[07:52] <Frogzoo> administrator: until you fix your / file system so it's mounted rw, everything else is wasted time
[07:52] <administrator> why can't there just be one .... simple .... terminal
[07:52] <bruenig> you don't need it I suppose if you are fine with xterm
[07:52] <bruenig> choice and such
[07:52] <nomas> hi, how can i search ircds ?
[07:52] <administrator> I am except that the "Terminal" link under applications doesn't work
[07:53] <administrator> OK so how I fix my / file system
[07:53] <bruenig> administrator, run xterm from the alt + f2
[07:53] <nomas> hi, how can i search ircds on the Terminal?
[07:53] <administrator> I am
[07:53] <bruenig> administrator, ok so go to your file and remove it
[07:53] <Frogzoo> administrator: boot off the live cd - run fsck on the root file system - reboot & unless there's something else wrong, you should be good <-- go away now & do this
[07:53] <bruenig> Frogzoo, what?
[07:53] <bruenig> did I miss something
[07:53] <administrator> I have two problems
[07:53] <administrator> 1
[07:54] <Frogzoo> bruenig: administrator's / is ro atm - so you can stop helping him
[07:54] <administrator> Terminal is crashing
[07:54] <administrator> 2 I can't write to HDD
[07:54] <Frogzoo> administrator: of course it is - I'm ignoring you now
[07:54] <administrator> so How I run fsck
[07:54] <administrator> wait I will do it
[07:54] <bruenig> Frogzoo, ro doesn't matter
[07:54] <Frogzoo> bruenig: sure it doesn't
[07:54] <bruenig> unless I suppose it also means -x
[07:55] <bruenig> does it mean that
[07:55] <administrator> Frogzoo, how do I run fsck off live CD
[07:55] <Frogzoo> bruenig: it means most everything won't run
[07:55] <bruenig> Frogzoo, does ro mean literally 444
[07:55] <administrator> is that why my terminal is crashign?
[07:55] <bruenig> or does it just mean no write
[07:55] <Frogzoo> administrator: fsck /dev/###   where ### = your root file system
[07:55] <b0nks> wheres the tutorial for ubuntu server edition w/LAMP?
[07:56] <Frogzoo> bruenig: means literally
[07:56] <bruenig> administrator, can you do cd /usr
[07:56] <bruenig> ?
[07:56] <noiesmo> !lamp | b0nks
[07:56] <ubotu> b0nks: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[07:56] <varka> b0nks: https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/index.html
[07:56] <Frogzoo> bruenig: you're not helping dude
[07:56] <administrator> bruenig in xterm?
[07:56] <bruenig> administrator, yes
[07:56] <administrator> yes
[07:57] <bruenig> then Frogzoo's understanding of ro is incorrect
[07:57] <bruenig> because if a directory isn't executable you can't cd into it
[07:57] <administrator> O.o
[07:57] <administrator> Whats ro?
[07:57] <Kprofthreat> Can anyone help me mount an IDE drive? It doesn't detect it in fstab. I really need to get on it though because it has all my important files.
[07:57] <bruenig> read only
[07:57] <bruenig> Kprofthreat, sudo fdisk -l, does that give you anything
[07:58] <administrator> So how can I delete these two files on my second HDD do I really ahve to restart into live CD?
[07:58] <bruenig> administrator, is your second hdd mounted?
[07:58] <administrator> yes I right clicked it and mounted it I still can't right click files and delete them its grayed out
[07:58] <Kprofthreat> It just finds the partitions on my sata
[07:58] <bruenig> administrator, ok do you know where it is mounted? /media probably
[07:58] <Jordan_U> administrator, NTFS?
[07:59] <administrator> yes in the File manger
[07:59] <bruenig> Kprofthreat, is this an external drive?
[07:59] <administrator> YES NTFS
[07:59] <Jordan_U> !ntfs | administrator
[07:59] <ubotu> administrator: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[07:59] <administrator> its left over from windows
[07:59] <Kprofthreat> bruenig: No, it's an entirely separate drive. IDE, on its own cable. As master
[07:59] <Jordan_U> !ntfs-3g | administrator
[07:59] <ubotu> administrator: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[07:59] <bruenig> hmmm
[07:59] <administrator> OK
[07:59] <administrator> I have a qeustion then...should I convert the drive to a linux native format
[07:59] <administrator> Because I want to share files off this drive
[08:00] <administrator> to windows boxes
[08:00] <Jordan_U> administrator, It is installed by default on the liveCD but not on the installed system, don't know why though
[08:00] <bruenig> waste for those who don't need it I guess
[08:00] <administrator> No, on the live CD I had same problem I couldn't delte stuff
[08:00] <|thunder> hey all, do I need anything special to enable DGA mouse handling ?
[08:00] <b0nks> thanks
[08:01] <Kprofthreat> |thunder: See XFree86 3.3.3
[08:01] <|thunder> thanks
[08:02] <administrator> OK on that site it says I can write to NTFS already but I can't
[08:03] <|thunder> administrator; try mount -a
[08:03] <bruenig> administrator, do grep ntfs /etc/fstab and paste the output
[08:03] <administrator> only root can do that
[08:04] <administrator> bruenig, there is no output
[08:04] <bruenig> administrator, did you mount this drive yourself?
[08:04] <administrator> I just right clicked documents and mounted
[08:04] <administrator> on desktop
[08:04] <homerhomer> to nixers
[08:04] <homerhomer> yo nixers
[08:04] <bruenig> administrator, do grep ntfs /etc/mtab
[08:05] <bruenig> !hi | homerhomer
[08:05] <ubotu> homerhomer: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[08:05] <administrator> how I copy stuff from xterm
[08:06] <bruenig> administrator, highlight
[08:06] <administrator> i did
[08:06] <administrator> then what
[08:06] <n2diy> administrator: highlight it, and select edit > copy.
[08:06] <bruenig> administrator, highlight it and then middle click in here
[08:06] <roho> does anyone know how i can play divx movies that load in the browser? i think i have all the codecs installed.
[08:06] <administrator> There is no edit
[08:06] <administrator> 1 /media/Documents ntfs rw,nosuid,nodev,umask=222,utf8 0 0
[08:07] <bruenig> hmm, that is a weird line, the umask sets it up as read and execute only
[08:08] <bruenig> but rw would seemingly contradict that
[08:08] <administrator> can we get Linus Torvalds in here?
[08:08] <administrator> Is he here now?
[08:09] <roho> it's the business day in finland now
[08:09] <bruenig> this is an issue with whatever it is that actually mounted this for you like this
[08:09] <roho> he's at work
[08:09] <bruenig> gnome?
[08:09] <administrator> kubuntu
[08:09] <mcintrya> hey i was looking to get some help with installing ubuntu using a usb drive rather than the common cd installation. could anybody give me a hand?
[08:10] <Ambientmstr> administrator: Kubuntu's interface is KDE
[08:10] <wols_> !ask | mcintrya
[08:10] <administrator> what the hell is gnome? I have kubuntu
[08:10] <ubotu> mcintrya: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:10] <Ambientmstr> !gnome | administrator
[08:10] <Jordan_U> !install | mcintrya
[08:10] <ubotu> administrator: gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop.
[08:10] <ubotu> mcintrya: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[08:10] <mcintrya> well idk where to begin
[08:10] <chalcedony> My son is leaving for 2 weeks, i NEED my laptop to work before he goes. this is what he tells me is wrong with it:<Son> The r818x driver shipped in Ubuntu Feisty is stripping off the last character of the essid when the essid is set, a basic 'off by one' error, somewhere.
[08:10] <wols_> mcintrya: ubotu told you
[08:10] <mcintrya> i tried extracting the iso onto my device and booting into it
[08:10] <mcintrya> k
[08:11] <mcintrya> thanks
[08:11] <Jordan_U> mcintrya, np
[08:12] <administrator> breuning, so how do I get to delete my stuff on documents?
[08:12] <Ambientmstr> chalcedony: Is Ndiswrapper installed?
[08:12] <|thunder> Ambientmstr; im on feisty, i dont see anythig like xfree86 in the repos, all are open here too.
[08:12] <|thunder> uncommented i mean
[08:13] <Flannel> chalcedony: Try adding a dummy character to the end?
[08:13] <roho> is there a divx plugin for konqueror or firefox?
[08:13] <wols_> |thunder: there is no xfree86 anymore in almost any major distro
[08:13] <Ambientmstr> It's in the debian repositories
[08:13] <crimsun> chalcedony: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8087830/r818x-essid.patch
[08:13] <Ambientmstr> http://www.xfree86.org/
[08:13] <wols_> debian has no xfree86 anymor either
[08:13] <crimsun> chalcedony: there are quite a few duplicates.  That patch is linked to bug #74672
[08:13] <bruenig> administrator, you need to get the drive mounted with write privileges, I have never dealt with ntfs on linux as I just formatted windows when I came over a few years back so I am not sure exactly what the state of that is in ubuntu. If you need to use ntfs-3g I think I recall that there was an expiremental kernel thing that would do it but I don't know if that is compiled into ubuntu's kernel, so anyways, probably someone else
[08:13] <bruenig>  should be asked
[08:14] <|thunder> wols_; i asked about my mouse not working in Q3A in linux
[08:14] <administrator> so im trying to run a server what do you suggset I do so I can write to that damn drive but still be able to serve files to windows computerS?
[08:15] <wols_> administrator: format it ext3
[08:15] <pyrak> administrator, serving over a network doesnt seem to present any issues with hard drive formats
[08:15] <administrator> so a windows user can read the stuff of ext3 drive?
[08:15] <administrator> that seems unbelievable
[08:15] <wols_> if you share it via samba: yes
[08:15] <administrator> But OK...how I format
[08:15] <wols_> administrator: no it's not
[08:15] <administrator> AH thats what i'm looking for
[08:15] <wols_> besides: windows can even use ext3 drives
[08:16] <administrator> OK lets do this, how I format this second ntfs HDD?
[08:16] <pyrak> administrator, well all i know is that i could write to ntfs over a network before i installed ntfs3g to write to my internal ntfs partition
[08:16] <wols_> man mkfs
[08:17] <administrator> pyrak ah but you couldn't write to NTFS in linux right?
[08:17] <intelikey> i just installed dapper on a tosheba satelite laptop   the "network settings" autodetect modem doesn't see any modem can anyone help me get it online ?           (obviously i'm not talking to you on the laptop)
[08:17] <chalcedony> crimsun: Flannel and Ambientmstr ty very much, he will try those when he wakes up. i'm very grateful to you :)
[08:17] <administrator> So how I format NTFS to ext3...Im setting up a server with Samba so it doesn't matter I gues
[08:17] <LoneShadow> !nvidia
[08:17] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:17] <wols_> administrator: man mkfs
[08:18] <Ambientmstr> Hi, I have a kinda urgent problem. All my critical files are backed up onto a NTFS-formatted IDE drive. Fstab apparently has no entry for it, and it is not automounting. It is set on its own primary cable on cable select, but I don't think it makes a difference. Thing is, I can't see it in Windows either.

[08:23] <wols_> http://tuxmobil.org/ http://www.linux-laptop.net/

[08:23] <wols_> you look for a modem?
[08:24] <wols_> and no one said it's a PCI modem. it's just a possibility
[08:24] <Hobbsee> Madpilot: feel free to -R

[08:25] <Madpilot> Hobbsee, staff are on it
[08:25] <varun0> is there a way to add the gutsy repositories? I want to download pidgin for amd64
[08:26] <Flannel> !prevu | varun0
[08:26] <ubotu> varun0: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details
[08:26] <Hobbsee> Madpilot: excellent
[08:26] <Floodge1->                                                                                fgv                                ffv

[08:27] <administrator> Can someone give me the xterm command for formatting an NTFS drive to latest ilnux format ext3
[08:28] <preaction> administrator: you realize that will destroy all the data on that drive, correct?
[08:28] <administrator> yessir
[08:28] <kermitus> u trying to do a sudo fdisk -l command or something?
[08:28] <administrator> IDK what that is
[08:28] <preaction> administrator: use synaptic, install gparted. destroy the partition and re-mkae it
[08:28] <preaction> !parted | administrator
[08:28] <kermitus> to list your drives or u need to format a drive?
[08:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about parted - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:28] <preaction> !gparted
[08:29] <ubotu> GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type  sudo apt-get install gparted  in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[08:29] <wols_> administrator: man mkfs
[08:29] <administrator> isn't there just some simple command?
[08:29] <msl> administrator: mke2fs -j /dev/hda#
[08:29] <administrator> thanks
[08:29] <wols_> PeaceYo: why does he need to delete the partition?
[08:29] <kermitus> isnt that GNOME partition editor? or is Gparted differant?
[08:29] <administrator> its second HDD so its probably hdab right?
[08:29] <preaction> administrator: why are you asking us to do these things for you? you should be learning how to do them yourself?
[08:29] <wols_> msl: we have a mkfs.ext3 nowadays
[08:29] <administrator> Isn't that how I learn?
[08:29] <varun0> Flannel: sorry if this is a stupid question, but I just want to make sure I'm clear - is prevu a way to install packages from versions of ubuntu *other* than what you are currently running?
[08:29] <preaction> administrator: second hd on the first ide cable?
[08:29] <msl> administrator: probably hdb# or sdb#
[08:30] <kermitus> yeah good book to get is the Ubuntu Bible, its great, and pretty cheap
[08:30] <wols_> administrator: no. you learn by reading documentation and trying things out
[08:30] <preaction> administrator: parroting commands is not how you're going to learn, and gparted is far easier to use than the terminal
[08:30] <wols_> asking us is like dowing the learning for you
[08:30] <xpoint> msl, remember to edit the file system type in fdisk on that partion, what you do is just format is as ex2 with journal, the fdisk file type is still ntfs :-)
[08:30] <administrator> Eh all I've been trying to do is follow this damn guide to setup a simple headless server in kubuntu and run into all sorts of shit
[08:30] <msl> xpoint: that is true
[08:30] <wols_> xpoint: linux won't care
[08:30] <Flannel> varun0: correct.  It downloads source debs, compiles them for your current system, so you can install them locally.  You'll need to also backport whatever dependencies you need as well (that page has all the details)
[08:30] <febri-ns> m,,zmzmc
[08:30] <febri-ns> cacaccc
[08:31] <administrator> mke2fs -j /dev/hdab  IT is
[08:31] <preaction> febri-ns: cat-like typing detected
[08:31] <administrator> thats ext3 right?
[08:31] <wols_> administrator: how about man mkefs and find out?
[08:31] <preaction> administrator: that's wrong, where is your hard drive located? slave drive on first IDE cable?
[08:31] <administrator> yes
[08:31] <pixelation> 32 bit will be faster than 64 bit xubuntu generally right?
[08:32] <preaction> administrator: that'd be /dev/hdb then, but in order to make a filesystem you need to specify a partition, not a drive
[08:32] <varun0> Flannel: I'm not sure what "backporting" means..... :-S
[08:32] <preaction> varun0: it means taking a fix from a newer version and putting it in your version (in this case, an entire program)
[08:32] <pixelation> I mean, I am not going to be doing any physics emulations, or anything of the sort. Sure I might download something in firefox while listening to music and talking on GAIM. But nothing that big.
[08:32] <xpoint> administrator, big warning on mkfs, you will loose all content, so make sure you do it rigth the first time
[08:32] <gaten> mi having trouble burning cds (or dvds). using the "write to disk" option for isos, nautalis tells me that i don't have a cd w/ sufficient space. but the cd is completely blank and the iso is only 57MB
[08:32] <preaction> pixelation: do you have a 64-bit processor?
[08:32] <administrator> preaction its all one partition
[08:32] <pixelation> preaction: yes
[08:32] <Flannel> varun0: it's when you port a piece of software backwards (to a previous version).  So, taking a gutsy version and making it work for feisty.
[08:32] <preaction> administrator: again, /dev/hdb is a disk, not a partition
[08:33] <varun0> preaction, Flannel : much thanks
[08:33] <administrator> Yes I know I have nothing on the drive
[08:33] <preaction> administrator: you have no partitions on the drive? then you can't make a filesystem
[08:33] <xpoint> administrator, do not just mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdb1 when the drive is /dev/hdb2
[08:33] <administrator> OK letme clarify I have a NTFS drive here where I can see the contents but not delete them or anything
[08:33] <vletmix> I got wow working on my 7.04 system using wine and everything runs great until I attempt to quit the game; it just freezes up and I have to kill the process. Anyone know why?
[08:33] <preaction> pixelation: then one day, when people start using 64-bit registers, the 64-bit version will be faster
[08:33] <xpoint> administrator, mkfs.ext3 dont ask if you realy want it !
[08:34] <administrator> I'm going to be running samba so ext3 won't matter
[08:34] <pyrak> !ntfs-3g | administrator
[08:34] <ubotu> administrator: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[08:34] <kermitus> nice and busy in there tonight. this is great
[08:34] <administrator> I don't need ntfs-3g if i'm runnig Samba right?
[08:34] <administrator> I want native linux format
[08:34] <pixelation> preaction: should I just use 32 bit for now, or should I stick with what I have (64 bit)?
[08:35] <preaction> pixelation: there's really no difference either way, except in some very rare cases where the 64-bit version is kinda fuzzy
[08:35] <pixelation> preaction: okay thank  you, and goodbye
[08:35] <xpoint> administrator, use nfs then :-)
[08:35] <pixelation> LOL i luv linux.
[08:35] <pixelation> linux loves me back sometimes too.
[08:35] <administrator> nfs?
[08:35] <pixelation> But sometimes linux beats me like a redneck on wife.
[08:35] <preaction> administrator: network file system. for file systems over a network where no windows machines need to view the files
[08:35] <mike> Greets, everyone...
[08:35] <administrator> make 2fs Permission denied
[08:35] <pixelation> I cry and say I love it, but it doesn't listen.
[08:36] <administrator> when trying to determine filesystem
[08:36] <pixelation> And it beats me more.
[08:36] <pixelation> It keeps going...
[08:36] <mike> lol
[08:36] <pixelation> But there are some really grand times.
[08:36] <timfrost> xpoint, administrator is wanting to create the local file system to be advertised.
[08:36] <pixelation> I broke up with my last OS because he got me in all sorts of legal trouble.
[08:36] <pixelation> XP pirate.
[08:36] <hylje> yarrr
[08:36] <timfrost> administrator, try 'sudo mke2fs /dev/sdb1'
[08:36] <xpoint> nfs is possible with windows, its just not default, reason i say nfs is that samba might be to unsecure
[08:37] <administrator> all I really want is a simple home server security isn't really a problem
[08:37] <administrator> thanks timfrost
[08:37] <pixelation> So XP got a restraining order on me, and I started to use linux.  I tried to set up networking for my home PCs with NFS and couldn't figure it out :(  using samba atm
[08:37] <pixelation> Xubuntu wears magnums.
[08:37] <xpoint> administrator, ftp could be all then
[08:37] <administrator> timefrost, "the device does not exist"
[08:38] <msl> administrator: don't forget the   -j   since that is the difference between ext2 and ext3
[08:38] <timfrost> administrator, try /dev/hdb1 rather than /dev/sdb1
[08:38] <NickRivers> just got my new dell linux box today :))))
[08:38] <administrator> why ext2 still supported?
[08:38] <vletmix> Anyone know of a remote desktop client which supports RDPv6?
[08:38] <NickRivers> ext2 is used for boot partitions i think?
[08:38] <xpoint> msl, mksf -j /dev/md12 or mkfs.ext3 /dev/md12 will be the same
[08:39] <andax11> administrator: if you want a simple homeserver, you possibly like YaCy.
[08:39] <msl> administrator: it depends on if you want a journaled filesystem or not.  ext2 is fine, I just thought you were wanting ext3 :)
[08:39] <mike> Can someone help me get a Zeroconf network running? Whenever I click Network Services in Konqueror, it says mdnsd isn't running.
[08:39] <NickRivers> brb
[08:39] <administrator> ext3 latest and greatest right? whats journaled
[08:39] <administrator> @ andax11 YaCY is OS?
[08:40] <msl> administrator: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journaling_file_system
[08:41] <andax11> administrator: No, YaCy is a sort of web environment you can install on a linux box. It contains a distributed webcrawler engine, blog, wiki... and it's all on your OWN machine ;)
[08:41] <xpoint> !google ext3
[08:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about google ext3 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:41] <administrator> @ timfrost it now can't determine size
[08:41] <administrator> @ I had to unmount the volume
[08:41] <xpoint> hehe :)
[08:41] <administrator> @ andax11 sounds sexy
[08:41] <andax11> administrator: It requires java
[08:41] <administrator> @ andax11 cept all I need is filesharing and torrent downloads
[08:42] <administrator> java is bad
[08:42] <administrator> sudo mke2fs /dev/sdb1 doesn't work
[08:42] <andax11> administrator: java still wastes a lot of system resources on linux but it works
[08:42] <xpoint> administrator, well torrent is nice, but how about gtk-gnutella :-)
[08:42] <NickRivers> what's the verdict on java 6?
[08:43] <administrator> hey windows works but wastes alot of system resources : )
[08:43] <administrator> gtk-gnutella whats thaty
[08:43] <andax11> administrator: there are some alternatives to sun's java btw
[08:43] <administrator> !gtk-gnutella
[08:43] <xpoint> administrator, windows vista is nice to, but dont try beryl on linux then :-)
[08:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gtk-gnutella - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:44] <administrator> lol
[08:44] <NickRivers> after upgrading to vista (tux forgive me) I quickly realized what a bloated POS it was :(  buggy as heck too... major resource hog - even more than the norm for windows
[08:44] <xpoint> administrator, apt-cache show gtk-gnutella
[08:44] <administrator> ugh ok getting too OT
[08:45] <administrator> how I format NTFS drive to ext3
[08:45] <NickRivers> Vista: DRM crapware... but it looks good, dahhhhhling LOL
[08:45] <administrator> sudo mke2fs /dev/sdb1 doesn't work
[08:45] <xpoint> administrator, fdisk /dev/<drive> < first step
[08:46] <timfrost> administrator, change the filesystem type to 83, using 'sudo fdisk /dev/hdb' or equivalent , then run 'sudo mke2fs -j /dev/hdb1'
[08:46] <xpoint> administrator, want to kill the cat ? :-)
[08:46] <administrator> no
[08:46] <NeXtDaY> I downloaded a filter for gimp, in which folder should i put it? any help, please?
[08:46] <administrator> I learned my lesson earlire

[08:46] <xpoint> administrator, do check with device it is

[09:00] <administrator> timfrost actually
[09:01] <maltron> hi - can anyone here help me out with the "time" command?  It won't take options nor will it allow me to redirect output
[09:01] <administrator> timfrost it says "Command (m for help)
[09:01] <QwertyM> bobdraken: You can try downloading the source and compiling it there
[09:02] <timfrost> administrator, at that prompt, type 't'.  It will prompt for the partition # (1) and then the new type (83)
[09:02] <QwertyM> bobdraken: funnily, it has an empty readme
[09:02] <bobdraken> sorry im a linux newb.. how do i do that
[09:02] <wols_> daedalus__: don't take a poll, ask a real question
[09:02] <QwertyM> bobdraken: you can try extracting the source and run make in its folder, and then make install
[09:02] <brmassa> Anyone knows why i keep gettin "Operation not supported" when i run "sudo modprobe kvm-amd" ?
[09:02] <bobdraken> ok well i have the source d/led now what do i do with it
[09:02] <administrator> timfrost Changed system type of partition 1 to 83 (Linux)
[09:03] <QwertyM> bobdraken: am on GNOME, can't do it here .. wait for some KDE person, it depends on KDE libraries :(
[09:03] <wols_> bobdraken: you unpack and find out how to compile it
[09:03] <brmassa> Im trying to install KVM
[09:03] <administrator> timfrost now what
[09:03] <timfrost> administrator, now do 'w' to write the changes, then 'q' to quit.
[09:03] <wols_> bruenig: what CPU exactly? Socket AM2?
[09:03] <varka> mojo: sudo killall gnome-panel
[09:03] <nomas> where can i donwload ddos attack ?

[09:04] <administrator> timfrost DOS Compatibility flag is not set
[09:04] <wols_> nomas: nowhere. we don't support little kids with a napoleon complex
[09:04] <QwertyM> first*
[09:04] <timfrost> administrator, after that, you should be able to format the partition with 'sudo mke2fs -j /dev/hdb1'
[09:04] <QwertyM> and enter the folder from your terminal bobdraken
[09:04] <bobdraken> ok one second
[09:04] <administrator> @ timfrost WORKS YES
[09:04] <nomas> ok , sorry but i wrote on wrong window
[09:05] <timfrost> administrator, the DOS Compatibility flag is not a problem here
[09:05] <gordonjcp> nomas: you can't actually do a DDoS attack from Mexico anyway
[09:05] <QwertyM> wols_: heh
[09:05] <wols_> nomas: you are still a script kiddie and should be executed
[09:05] <bobdraken> ok its extracted to the folder
[09:05] <gordonjcp> nomas: your IP transit to the rest of the world is like 56k
[09:05] <bobdraken> im in the folder
[09:05] <administrator> This filesystem will be automatically checked every 34 mounts or
[09:05] <administrator> 180 days, whichever comes first.  Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
[09:05] <wols_> gordonjcp: he said DDOS. he wants a botnet that litle twerp
[09:05] <QwertyM> bobdraken: type --->./configure --prefix="/usr"
[09:05] <gordonjcp> wols_: yeah, and to control a botnet you need some outgoing bandwidth
[09:06] <mojo> varka: thanks
[09:06] <bobdraken> so in term i type what now
[09:06] <administrator> @ timfrost "unable to mount volume"
[09:06] <QwertyM> bobdraken: ./configure --prefix="/usr"
[09:06] <QwertyM> type that exactly, or paste it in
[09:06] <nomas> gordonjcp: do you know the command to search ircd on the terminal ?
[09:07] <timfrost> administrator, does the mount point exist?
[09:07] <wols_> gordonjcp: yes. you need a connection to e.g. an irc channel. that's all. and even 56 will do that just plenty
[09:07] <gordonjcp> nomas: "search ircd"?
[09:07] <QwertyM> bobdraken: there's a file called INSTALL in it right? Open it to see instructions :-)
[09:07] <nomas> something about, sudo cache ircd ?
[09:07] <bobdraken> so put this in it...      ./configure--prefix="/usr"
[09:07] <QwertyM> bobdraken: yes
[09:07] <wols_> gordonjcp: see?
[09:07] <gordonjcp> nomas: apt-cache search ircd possibly?
[09:07] <wols_> gordonjcp: do NOT help him
[09:07] <administrator> @ timfrost faield to determine the moutn point for /dev/hdb1
[09:07] <gordonjcp> nomas: running an ircd is trickier than you think, and leaves your server open to all manner of attacks
[09:08] <bobdraken> yes there is a file called install
[09:08] <wols_> gordonjcp: what's better than an 0wn3d script kiddie?
[09:08] <bobdraken> i click it and it ask what app i want to open the  installer with
[09:08] <bobdraken> what should i pick
[09:08] <QwertyM> bobdraken: any text editor
[09:08] <wols_> bobdraken: there is no installer
[09:08] <timfrost> administrator, create the directory that you want to mount /dev/hdb1 on, then add an entry to /etc/fstab.  That last error is because there is no entry in /etc/fstab
[09:09] <administrator> How do I do that?
[09:09] <QwertyM> yup, its just an instruction doc, not an installer as such
[09:09] <bobdraken> To install KCometen3 do:1. ./configure --prefix="/usr"2. make3. sudo make install
[09:09] <bobdraken> it says this.. so i just type that in my term
[09:09] <nomas> exactly thats the command
[09:09] <wols_> bobdraken: read up on checkinstall first
[09:09] <nomas> but now , which is to download ? :(
[09:10] <bobdraken> what do you mean wols
[09:10] <bobdraken> checkinstall ?
[09:10] <gordonjcp> nomas: none, ideally
[09:10] <wols_> !checkinstall
[09:10] <ubotu> checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[09:10] <gordonjcp> nomas: I'd make sure your PC is secure before you even start
[09:10] <bobdraken> im lost
[09:10] <administrator> @ timfrost How do I do that?
[09:11] <netdaemon> ah, do i need gstreamer-lame to rip mp3s? or just gstreamer-plugins-ugly-multiverse?
[09:11] <bobdraken> checkinstall... do i have to do that
[09:11] <boblobla1> Hi. Ubuntu 7.04, Nvidia Ti4200 (128MB) -- getting sluggish performance. Been reading the forum for 2hrs.
[09:11] <QwertyM> um, it helps uninstall and modify later ..
[09:11] <bobdraken> so how do i use teh checkinstall
[09:12] <wols_> bobdraken: you read docs about it
[09:12] <boblobla1> OH, BTW - on my Ti4200 tried new AND legacy drivers, no change - performance still slow
[09:12] <wols_> bobdraken: sluggish where and when? how much RAM?
[09:12] <QwertyM> that'd be boblobla1
[09:12] <boblobla1> wols_: all the time ~512 mb ram.
[09:12] <bobdraken> i have a question wols.. how do you pick the persons name like that in front.. are you typing it evertime
[09:12] <boblobla1> many people are having this problem
[09:13] <wols_> boblobla1: bo<tab>
[09:13] <QwertyM> bobdraken: I type bobd and hit tab, XCHAT autocompletes it
[09:13] <wols_> called tab complete. doesn't always work as you can see :)
[09:13] <bobdraken> how about
[09:13] <bobdraken> kopete
[09:13] <administrator> use pidgin
[09:13] <QwertyM> bobdraken: Dunno, try it
[09:13] <bobdraken> what do i type
[09:13] <boblobla1> I'm getting crazy slow screen lag. The rest of the system is fine, just the video card is giving me a problem.
[09:13] <QwertyM> Qwe<tab> ?
[09:13] <timfrost> administrator, if you want to mount on /share, then 'sudo mkdir /share;sudo chmod 777 /share' will create the mount point.  Then 'echo "/dev/hdb1 /share ext3 defaults 0 2" >> /etc/fstab' will add an entry to /etc/fstab
[09:13] <wols_> bobdraken: try it. it's a client feature. and for irc you should use irssi. and x-chat if you really insist on gui I guess. NOT an IM client
[09:14] <QwertyM> Pidgin does it too, in conferences and all :)
[09:14] <QwertyM> oh right, sorry I misinterpret
[09:14] <wols_> bluefox83: paste the output of glxinfo into a pastebin. also grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:14] <brad016> in firefox in Edit>Preferences>Advanced>Encryption is that like a proxy that hides personal information that can be tracked
[09:14] <bobdraken> QwertyM: yay
[09:14] <bobdraken> it does do it
[09:14] <wols_> doh
[09:14] <brad016> I mean like if you have the protocals checked
[09:14] <wols_> boblobla1: see what I just wrote
[09:14] <QwertyM> :) but Konversation is what you should use instead
[09:14] <boblobla1> got it
[09:15] <bobdraken> i like pidgin..im just now trying kopete
[09:15] <administrator> @ timfrost second command
[09:15] <bobdraken> its pretty good i think
[09:15] <administrator> @ timfrost second command 'echo "/dev/hdb1 /share ext3 defaults 0 2" >> /etc/fstab' I get permission denied
[09:15] <QwertyM> bobdraken: so what does the first command give as an output? Paste it at PasteBin
[09:15] <QwertyM> !pastebin | bobdraken
[09:15] <ubotu> bobdraken: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[09:16] <bobdraken> QwertyM: i did tell you i wasnt able to run/install ubuntu
[09:16] <bobdraken> QwertyM: im in pclos right now
[09:16] <administrator> @ timfrost and still getting  cannot moutn volume" and "unable to mount documents"
[09:16] <QwertyM> bobdraken: its okay, what we're trying to do is not related to Ubuntu :) Just installing an application, compiling it rather
[09:16] <bobdraken> QwertyM: my other pc is ubuntu but for some reason it wont install on this pc :  (
[09:17] <bobdraken> QwertyM: ok thanks... so im just gona type the /config prefix thing and not do the other thing
[09:17] <bobdraken> what was it called..
[09:17] <boblobla1> (glxinfo) http://pastebin.com/936561 (xorg.conf) http://pastebin.com/936562
[09:17] <brad016> In FireFox in Edit>Preferences>Advanced>Encryption and the two protocol boxes are checked, is that like having a proxy?
[09:17] <administrator> no
[09:17] <wols_> boblobla1: do not use pastebin.com. takes ages to load
[09:17] <brad016> then what is that for?
[09:17] <timfrost> administrator, /etc/fstab needs to be updated as root. Try 'sudo gedit /etc/fstab', and add '/dev/hdb1 /share ext3 defaults 0 2' in the gedit GUI on a new line.
[09:18] <administrator> @ bradits for secure servers (https)
[09:18] <boblobla1> wols_: sorry, you said to use pastebin.
[09:18] <QwertyM> bobdraken: ./configure --prefix="/usr" ?
[09:18] <boblobla1> next time ill use the other one
[09:18] <QwertyM> o/p at pastebin ..
[09:18] <brad016> okay, now is transparent proxy mean that it doesn't slow down your connection at all?
[09:18] <wols_> !pastebin

[09:18] <wols_> yes I did
[09:18] <bobdraken> i got this, -bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
[09:19] <wols_> boblobla1: and you can nothing do except disabling beryl or buy a faster videocard

[09:19] <Aviel> hey all!
[09:19] <boblobla1> wols_: im not using beryl.
[09:19] <QwertyM> bobdraken: are you in the folder where you extracted the files, in the terminal ?
[09:19] <QwertyM> bobdraken: cd <foldername>
[09:19] <bobdraken> no how do i direct myself there
[09:19] <administrator> @ timfrost sudo: gedit: command not foun
[09:19] <QwertyM> normal, like DOS
[09:19] <bobdraken> ok thanks one sec
[09:19] <brad016> okay, now is transparent proxy mean that it doesn't slow down your connection at all?
[09:19] <wols_> boblobla1: check if any process uses constants 99% CPU or so
[09:19] <boblobla1> if i resize _any_ window the sluggishness is very apparent
[09:19] <boblobla1> wols_: negative
[09:19] <boblobla1> i got my cpu graph up
[09:19] <wols_> brad016: no, that doesn't mean it
[09:19] <administrator> @ brad016 if your using one
[09:20] <boblobla1> it's a stupid xorg.conf / nvidia issue
[09:20] <bobdraken> its not working
[09:20] <bobdraken> im typing cd desktop
[09:20] <Aviel> i need help
[09:20] <bobdraken> and cd screen saver
[09:20] <Aviel> how i can install Proftpd on ubuntu?
[09:20] <QwertyM> bobdraken: remove the space from the folder name ..
[09:20] <brad016> bobdraken, type cd Desktop with a capital D
[09:20] <anathematic> sudo apt-get install proftpd?
[09:20] <QwertyM> and that.
[09:20] <wols_> !proftpd | Aviel
[09:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about proftpd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:21] <wols_> !ftpd | Aviel
[09:21] <ubotu> Aviel: FTP servers: !ftpd, !proftpd, !pure-ftpd, !twoftpd, !vsftpd, !MuddleFTPd, !wzdftpd - Graphical front-ends: !PureAdmin, !GProftpd (for !GNOME), !KcmPureftpd (for !KDE) - See also !FTP

[09:21] <Aviel> !ftpd
[09:21] <Flannel> Aviel: proftpd is in universe
[09:21] <Flannel> DShepherd: linux-image-[version] -arch
[09:21] <wols_> DShepherd: the kernel package for the kernel you want to uninstall?

[09:22] <bobdraken> not letting me in
[09:22] <DShepherd> wols_, i guess the image package is what I want,,, Flannel thanks
[09:22] <timfrost> administrator, if gedit (the gnome editor) isn't available, use your favourite editor (kate, vi, nano, ...)
[09:22] <QwertyM> bobdraken: what's the actual name of the folder ?
[09:22] <anathematic> anyway i've downloaded this .tar.gz and i've extracted the file to my desktop, i've navigated from my terminal to the file location, what are the set of commands i do next to form my .deb or whatever (make/.configure whatever~)

[09:23] <Flannel> bobdraken: The GUI or the command line?
[09:23] <bobdraken> command line
[09:23] <timfrost> administrator, I have been running linux for the last ten years.
[09:23] <bobdraken> konsole
[09:24] <bobdraken> is what im using
[09:24] <Flannel> bobdraken: you need to escape the space.  Type "cd scre" and then hit tab, it'll autocomplete for you

[09:24] <bobdraken> yay it worked

[09:24] <QwertyM> !pastebin
[09:25] <QwertyM> i mean, the output
[09:25] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[09:25] <QwertyM> and give us the url
[09:26] <bobdraken> ok now ill do the
[09:26] <bobdraken> were do i post what it said
[09:26] <predaeus> How does one configure joysticks in wine? The stick is detected fine by jscal and listed in the ingame (Wheels of Steel: Haulin) input configuration menu, but it will not map any axes or keys.
[09:26] <bobdraken> QwertyM: were do i post what it said
[09:26] <bobdraken> Flannel: u here?

[09:27] <bobdraken> im posting now one second :  )
[09:28] <NeXtDaY> how do I install .rpm files using terminal ?
[09:28] <Flannel> NeXtDaY: you use alien to convert it to a deb
[09:28] <Flannel> !away > Maxpower57
[09:28] <bobdraken> http://pastebin.com/936565
[09:28] <bobdraken> QwertyM: http://pastebin.com/936565
[09:28] <QwertyM> checking it :)
[09:28] <bobdraken> Flannel: http://pastebin.com/936565
[09:28] <NeXtDaY> Flannel: how? sorry I am new to this.
[09:28] <bobdraken> thanks
[09:29] <timfrost> !rpm | NeXtDaY
[09:29] <ubotu> NeXtDaY: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[09:29] <bobdraken> looks liek it didnt work
[09:29] <Flannel> NeXtDaY: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RPM/AlienHowto
[09:29] <NeXtDaY> timfrost Flannel thanks
[09:29] <Flannel> bobdraken: what are you trying to install?
[09:29] <bobdraken> this one sec
[09:29] <bobdraken> http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=30313&forumpage=2
[09:30] <bobdraken> its a screen saver
[09:30] <QwertyM> Flannel: He isn't on Ubuntu ..
[09:30] <Flannel> bobdraken: does the dapper deb not work?
[09:30] <bobdraken> what is dapper deb?
[09:30] <megasquid> is the file size in ls -l in bytes?
[09:30] <bobdraken> Flannel: im on pclos
[09:30] <bruenig> ls -lh
[09:31] <timfrost> bobdraken, you need to install a number of packages, including build-essential, plus the -devel packages for all the dependencies.
[09:31] <Flannel> bobdraken: On that page, you can download a deb file.  bobdraken, why are you in this channel?
[09:31] <bruenig> -dev not -devel
[09:31] <bobdraken> Flannel: my other pc is ubuntu, i couldnt get it to install on this pc
[09:31] <bobdraken> Flannel: and noone is in the pclos room and im usually in here
[09:31] <Flannel> bobdraken: #pclinuxos-support is for pclinuxOS support.
[09:31] <megasquid> bruenig, thanks is there anyway to determine how many files are in a directory?
[09:32] <timfrost> megasquid, the default is bytes.  If you use the '-h' option, it will convert to KB, MB,GB, etc
[09:32] <bobdraken> Flannel: understood... is there anything i need to do to undo anything that may of changed form that
[09:32] <bobdraken> the configure prefix
[09:33] <bruenig> megasquid, there is probably some sort of ls option to do it, I would just use a for loop though
[09:33] <Flannel> bobdraken: configure shouldn't change anything that won't be overwritten with the next configure
[09:33] <bobdraken> Flannel: so dont do anything else? im fine as is?
[09:33] <hiko_hitokiri> !help | hiko_hitokiri
[09:33] <bobdraken> Flannel: nothing was changed, created, or deleted?
[09:33] <megasquid> bruenig, or better yet, the file size of a directory, ls -lh doesn't seem to be accurate
[09:33] <megasquid> for directories
[09:33] <bruenig> NUM=0 ; for x in *; do let "NUM++; done ; echo $NUM
[09:34] <bruenig> missing a "
[09:34] <bobdraken> Flannel: still here?
[09:34] <Flannel> bobdraken: You might try installing the Ubuntu package.  It may work.  It's worth a try at any rate.
[09:34] <bruenig> megasquid, du -ha
[09:34] <nomas> which P2P its the best ???
[09:34] <Flannel> bobdraken: nothing on your system, just stuff in that directory.
[09:34] <bobdraken> Flannel: i love ubuntu, but it wont work on this pc for some reason, i get xserver errors
[09:35] <bobdraken> Flannel: i tried the alter cd.. tons of stuff nothing worked
[09:35] <bruenig> bobdraken, you just fix xorg.conf
[09:35] <NeXtDaY> is there is anyway I can put the tools window and the working window and other windows in gimp together,, they are all separated and it confuses me? please.. any one :)
[09:35] <bobdraken> brutopia: how????
[09:35] <bobdraken> i keep getting no screens found
[09:35] <bruenig> bobdraken, I don't know, I am not very pleased with the x configuration scripts of ubuntu, two other lesser distributions I have tried are better at it
[09:35] <Flannel> NeXtDaY: that's a design decision of GIMP.  I don't believe so.  Although GIMPshop might change that.
[09:35] <bobdraken> and something was with the bus  0:2:0 i think its becasue i have two graphics cards
[09:35] <Aviel> some 1 here?
[09:35] <Aviel> i install now ubuntu for server
[09:35] <bobdraken> yes
[09:35] <bobdraken> ur right
[09:36] <Aviel> so
[09:36] <Flannel> !enter | Aviel
[09:36] <ubotu> Aviel: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[09:36] <Aviel> what to do on the start?
[09:36] <LoneShadow> !php5
[09:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about php5 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:36] <bobdraken> brutopia: ur very right.. other dirstos seem to boot up when ubuntu fails
[09:36] <NeXtDaY> Flannel aha, ok. thanks again
[09:36] <LoneShadow> !php
[09:36] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[09:36] <Flannel> Aviel: What?  Well, You... do server stuff with it.  What do you want to have a server for?
[09:36] <megasquid> bruenig, thanks
[09:36] <LoneShadow> anyone has experience with php5-mysql problems on ubuntu ?
[09:36] <Aviel> i install now ubuntu for server what i should to do on start? security? something??
[09:36] <LoneShadow> I think when I upgraded to fiesty, my php-mysql got broken
[09:37] <Flannel> Aviel: it's fairly secure by default.
[09:37] <Aviel> hey ppl in the install of the server its write me to chhose or DNS Server or LAMP server what select?
[09:37] <bobdraken> i have an onboard graphics card and second one .. i use the other one
[09:37] <Flannel> Aviel: What sort of server do you want?
[09:37] <bobdraken> and for some reason i think thats why it fails to install
[09:38] <bobdraken> something about the bus numbers for it 0:2:0 and
[09:38] <bobdraken> it says no screens found
[09:38] <Flannel> Aviel: either or none could be correct.  There is no "correct" server, only what you do or don't want the server to do.
[09:38] <Aviel> just for learn the system
[09:38] <Aviel> cuz i going to buy server for games
[09:38] <Aviel> so what select DNS OR LAMP?
[09:39] <Flannel> Aviel: neither.  A game server would be neither of those.
[09:39] <pluma> How do I truncate files via the command line? "truncate" gives me a "not found" =/
[09:40] <nomas> how can i install frostwire ?
[09:40] <Flannel> !frostwire | nomas
[09:40] <ubotu> nomas: frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[09:41] <timfrost> pluma, try '>file'.  That should truncate 'file'  unless you are unable to write to the file (or the directory that the file is in)
[09:42] <anathematic> how do i convert a .rpm to a .deb? (just change the file extension?)
[09:42] <timfrost> !rpm | anathematic
[09:42] <ubotu> anathematic: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[09:42] <Flannel> anathematic: no.  Can you not find a deb version of the package?  which package?
[09:43] <Aviel> so guys
[09:43] <domas> anathematic: you can just use RPM to install ;-)
[09:43] <anathematic> Flannel, no i cannot it's for printer drivers :)
[09:43] <Flannel> anathematic: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RPM/AlienHowto
[09:43] <Aviel> what i should select on the install server, LAMP or DNS??
[09:43] <pluma> timfrost: How do I do that for a pattern (e.g. every file ending in "_file") then? >*_file?
[09:43] <domas> Aviel: nothing, if you don't need either
[09:43] <Flannel> Aviel: I've already told you.  Neither.
[09:43] <anathematic> Aviel, you've already asked this
[09:43] <domas> Aviel: or both, if you need both
[09:43] <Aviel> cant selectd both only 1
[09:43] <Aviel> what u recommend?
[09:44] <anathematic> if you're only using it to learn how to setup a server for games you don't need either
[09:44] <Flannel> Aviel: select zero.  None, nada.
[09:44] <domas> Aviel: select DNS!
[09:44] <Aviel> so i press continue
[09:44] <Aviel> oh
[09:44] <Aviel> ok dns sec
[09:44] <anathematic> select all imo
[09:44] <domas> (thats just to have your choice easier)
[09:44] <anathematic> lawl domas
[09:44] <megasquid> how would i remove a large number of files from a directory, if i do rm * i get and error: argument list to long
[09:44] <xenex> Does anyone know why I can't add any launchers to AWN?
[09:44] <Aviel> nvm i press contonue
[09:44] <Aviel> select non
[09:44] <Aviel> k its setup
[09:45] <anathematic> and Flannel  thanks for the link i'll read it now =)
[09:45] <domas> megasquid: echo * | xargs rm
[09:45] <domas> megasquid: or find ./ -print0 | xargs -0 rm
[09:45] <domas> :)
[09:45] <Aviel> and how i install there Proftpd and SSH and Apache2?!
[09:45] <domas> or rm -r ./directory
[09:45] <Flannel> Aviel: Sigh.  If you wanted apache, you should've selected LAMP.
[09:45] <domas> Flannel: he doesn't want MySQL/PHP... yet!
[09:45] <Aviel> no i want just learn
[09:45] <Flannel> !lamp | Aviel
[09:45] <ubotu> Aviel: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[09:45] <Aviel> i want ssh and proftpd
[09:45] <Aviel> how i can install?
[09:46] <bruenig> !info ssh
[09:46] <ubotu> ssh: Secure shell client and server (transitional package). In component main, is optional. Version 1:4.3p2-8ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 1 kB, installed size 32 kB
[09:46] <bruenig> !info proftpd
[09:46] <ubotu> proftpd: Versatile, virtual-hosting FTP daemon. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.0-21ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 765 kB, installed size 2276 kB
[09:46] <domas> Aviel: apt-get install openssh-server
[09:46] <Aviel> here setup done
[09:46] <Flannel> Aviel: follow that page.  I'll tell you how to do it.
[09:46] <Aviel> k
[09:46] <domas> mmm
[09:46] <domas> I don't even use Ubuntu
[09:46] <domas> oh wait, I do
[09:46] <Flannel> ssh is 'openssh-server' (in main) and proftp is 'proftpd' (in universe).
[09:46] <timfrost> pluma, no.  If you want to truncate a lot of files, then try 'for f in *file; do cp /dev/null $f; done' (because the other method REQUIRES the actual file name)
[09:46] <Aviel> and how to install proftpd server??
[09:47] <Flannel> !software | Aviel
[09:47] <ubotu> Aviel: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents
[09:47] <yeniklasor> I forgot my bluetooth paired device password. How can I reset or change it?
[09:47] <Flannel> Aviel: follow that page, it explains it all in detail.
[09:47] <domas> megasquid: any of ^^ worked for you? :)
[09:47] <megasquid> domas, yeah thanks i just removed the directory then recreated it
[09:47] <Aviel> ok thx
[09:48] <Johto> Oh my, just testing this remote system called NXServer (nomachine.com) ..damn this is sweet and fast
[09:48] <Johto> way faster than VNC
[09:48] <domas> used to be PITA to setup
[09:48] <domas> though I tried that five years ago or so :)
[09:48] <domas> once upon a time everything used to be PITA to setup :)
[09:49] <Aviel> hey ppl how i can set my root password after i format the pc and i got server version?
[09:49] <Johto> PITA?
[09:49] <Johto> what is PITA

[09:52] <ziroday> askand: compiz is the latest stable compiz
[09:52] <biblio7> poperdtb_1979@
[09:52] <askand> ziroday: but what has got better? what new effects has been added?
[09:52] <yeniklasor>  I forgot my bluetooth paired device password. How can I reset or change it?
[09:52] <Johto> domas: since..hmm, 1990's ...
[09:52] <jafair> asti
[09:52] <domas> 1990's as in 1990 or 1999? :)
[09:53] <ziroday> askand: have u ever used beryl?
[09:54] <ponty> does anyone here know how to enable lyrics script and cover manager with proxy server in amarok
[09:56] <askand> ziroday: yes
[09:56] <ponty> i am quite a new ubuntu user and i'm not sure about how to fix it
[09:57] <ziroday> askand: go watch some vid's of beryl, compiz and compiz-fusion on the web and youll see the diff. Basically compiz-fusion is compiz + beryl
[09:58] <someone2005again> That anything like one form of java running ?
[09:58] <anathematic> i'm downloading a printer driver at the moment, do i want the cups or the lpr one?
[09:58] <askand> ziroday: ok..I had troubles running beryl when I upgraded to feisty,,it was slow..someone told me it was something because the xorgfile was different in feisty and edgy..do you think this will work better?
[09:59] <ziroday> askand: not sure, what card the best place to ask is #ubuntu-effects #opencompositing #beryl and #compiz
[10:01] <brad016> if you have a windows installation disk can you have wine use that for running windows apps in linux?
[10:02] <ponty> wine usually doesnt work that well
[10:02] <SoulChild> What does this message mean at boot: "FWH not detected"?
[10:03] <KomiaPoika> hi
[10:03] <KomiaPoika> can someone help me with warnquota and exim?
[10:07] <gunny01> I need to edit an .avi file. Can anyone recomend some software to do that with?
[10:08] <Kprofthreat> gunny01: Kino.
[10:08] <ponty> does anyone here know how to enable lyrics script and cover manager with proxy server in amarok
[10:08] <gunny01> Kprofthreat: Kino doesn't import avi files...'
[10:08] <askand> gunny01: kino sucks...try cinellera
[10:09] <Kprofthreat> You need a plugin for Kino, but it works.
[10:09] <gunny01> Kprofthreat: where can I get the plugin?
[10:09] <Kprofthreat> Or you could always just get Ubuntu Ultimate Studio, has all the video editors you need
[10:09] <Kprofthreat> gunny01: I'll google for it.
[10:10] <SoulChild> What does this message at boot mean: "intel_rng: FWH not detected"?
[10:11] <Hor|zon> lol SoulChild, google
[10:11] <SoulChild> Hor|zon: hmm ,... okay
[10:12] <Kprofthreat> Google first, people. Trust me. There's a wealth of information out there.
[10:12] <m0rph^^> i'm pretty new to ubuntu. i recently gave it a shot with the wubi installer and i noticed that it mounts my internal ntfs volume just fine, with read&write access, but any ntfs volumes i plug in, they automount as read-only.
[10:12] <m0rph^^> how would I get around that?
[10:12] <Hor|zon> SoulChild, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/102982
[10:13] <Hor|zon> that?
[10:13] <Kprofthreat> m0rph^^, please go to your terminal and type in sudo fdisk -l
[10:13] <kimmey2k3> m0rph^^: Im not sure, but setting rights in /etc/fstab may work
[10:13] <m0rph^^> what does fdisk do
[10:14] <m0rph^^> and do I do that before pluggin anything in?
[10:14] <m0rph^^> or what
[10:14] <kimmey> Ive had some problems with that myself
[10:14] <kimmey> If I remember right, I did it after I mounted the partition
[10:14] <Kprofthreat> Is your other drive already plugged?
[10:15] <Kprofthreat> If so, then you can go to terminal. Otherwise, it won't detect it.
[10:15] <kimmey> And them re-mount for ex
[10:15] <Kprofthreat> Also, it would help to see the contents of your fstab and mtab files. They can be found in /home/etc
[10:15] <kimmey> and then adding something similar to   /dev/xxx /media/extdrive ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
[10:16] <m0rph^^> hmm ok
[10:16] <kimmey> remember to install ntfs-3g
[10:16] <kimmey> you can read more at http://www.ntfs-3g.org/
[10:16] <m0rph^^> is it safe?
[10:17] <kimmey> yepp :D
[10:17] <pluma> timfrost: thanks, mate
[10:17] <m0rph^^> like my drives won't explode or anything :P
[10:17] <Kprofthreat> Of course not..in the first 2 minutes of running it

[10:42] <jscinoz> hey guys
[10:43] <jscinoz> I have a full install of ubuntu on a hardrive from a laptop with a failed mobo, the computer i'm currently on cant boot from usb, so i made a grub CD to boot the external HD, however i dont know what i should put on the root line? what should i put?
[10:43] <intelikey> hmmm interesting,  i just installed ubuntu dapper and then installed ubuntu dapper 64bit on another partition and it made the 32bit version unbootable
[10:44] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, how is it unbootable?
[10:44] <intelikey> thedonvaughn it hangs
[10:45] <jscinoz> I have a full install of ubuntu on a hardrive from a laptop with a failed mobo, the computer i'm currently on cant boot from usb, so i made a grub CD to boot the external HD, however i dont know what i should put on the root line? what should i put?
[10:45] <intelikey> goes loading the kernel then hangs
[10:45] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, and they are not sharing any partitions at all right?
[10:45] <intelikey> thedonvaughn yes they are sharring /boot
[10:45] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, well that's the issue
[10:45] <intelikey> thedonvaughn why ?
[10:46] <intelikey> how is that the issue ?
[10:46] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, because the kernel name is blah-generic
[10:46] <thedonvaughn> for both 64 and 32
[10:46] <thedonvaughn> so basically you're using 64 bit loader and kernel and trying to boot 32 bit system
[10:46] <intelikey> no it's not
[10:46] <jscinoz> What should i put on the root (hdX,X) line of my menu.lst to boot off a usb drive?
[10:46] <intelikey> you missed that ohne
[10:46] <intelikey> one
[10:47] <Kpr> Who wants to live forever??
[10:47] <intelikey> thedonvaughn the kernel and the initrd.img names are unique for both systems
[10:47] <intelikey> thedonvaughn anything else ?
[10:48] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, nope that'd be the only thing that i could think of
[10:48] <thedonvaughn> all though it's obvious that something in the 64 bit installation crossed with the 32 bit
[10:49] <CyTG> can anyone think of a reason why VNC will not redraw the screen ? i have to relog in to see "changes" i made ...
[10:49] <anathematic> good ftp server software? :)
[10:49] <randoman> hey guys is there anyway to expand the toolbar over to my second monitor?

[10:50] <amoleroguejar> toni
[10:50] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst and an ls of your /boot dir
[10:50] <intelikey> thedonvaughn yeah it would seem that way.  but what ?   i'm looking in /boot right now and there is  2.6.15-23-386  and  2.6.15-23-amd64-generic   of every file except the memtest86'r
[10:50] <amoleroguejar> ola
[10:51] <intelikey> thedonvaughn can't pastebin.  can't get on line with that lappy

[10:52] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, i'm with ya
[10:52] <moustafa> Can I hack , or view any windows pc by using ubuntu?
[10:53] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, welllll... weird for debuging sense i'd might just take out the UUID crap in /etc/fstab and in your grub.conf and use the actual partition names
[10:53] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, just to rule that out ya know?
[10:53] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, but that's just me...
[10:53] <intelikey> thedonvaughn i don't think dapper uses uuid
[10:53] <intelikey> i'll look
[10:53] <thedonvaughn> k
[10:54] <mat1980> moustafa: of course
[10:54] <intelikey> nope strieght /dev/sda#
[10:55] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, k.  maybe it's not a software issue....  hrrm try booting with ACPI disabled?  either in BIOS or in grub line
[10:55] <thedonvaughn> apci
[10:55] <intelikey> but i think you inadvertantly hit it.
[10:55] <thedonvaughn> er acpi :)
[10:55] <intelikey> i think it is fstab.   the number of the swap partition changed
[10:56] <intelikey> looking into it now
[10:56] <nafis_devlp1> does anyone knows whats the minimum hardware requirement of Ubuntu Server edition??
[10:56] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, ah right on
[10:56] <intelikey> yep went from 5 to 7  :)
[10:56] <intelikey> duh.....
