[11:56] <oskar-> police ;)
[11:56] <EADG> it goes away.
[11:57] <gierfc> reaktae: chkdsk
[11:57] <reaktae> EADG: music too loud?
[11:57] <ShoeUnited> Thanks for letting me know.  Last thing I wanted was to be annoying. :)
[11:57] <sheep> bullgard4: I'm confused. What do you mean by "How does your statement complu with the statement in /etc/mailcap?"
[11:57] <EADG> reaktae: Nothing. Flicker of my candle.
[11:58] <quibbler> ugliefrog, then you are going to have to wait..be patience
[11:58] <EADG> And sip of my wine.
[11:58] <arvind_khadri> ugliefrog, :P sounds easy, but aint a fact ;)
[11:58] <shawarma_rules> does anyone else love shawarma as much as me?
[11:58] <reaktae> gierfc: i have done that. it tests ok, smart reports ok.
[11:58] <EADG> ... and the tic-tac of our inquires.
[11:58] <arvind_khadri> shawarma_rules, maybe in #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:59] <quibbler> shawarma_rules, with garlic sauce ya
[11:59] <arvind_khadri> EADG, why dont you move this to #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[11:59] <yakuz> When I look at quicktime video clips (.mov) in firefox they flicker. How can I fix this? Got the same problem in vlc if I don't change the video output to x11 but what should I do in firefox?
[11:59] <gierfc> reaktae: on all 4 partitions?
[12:00] <user1_> i have AverMedia 203 (bt878). i can look TV, but i want playing with parameters of bttv or something else becouse picture is low. what can i do? (Ubuntu 8.04)
[12:00] <quibbler> yakuz, can you give a url
[12:00] <reaktae> gierfc: yep, the drive is fine. should i be mounting just the one partition? this is a system that doesn't have the raid setup...
[12:01] <BlasiusLive> hallo Flammy2289
[12:01] <EADG> arvind_khadri: Am I in Ubuntu?
[12:01] <yakuz> quibbler: http://movies.apple.com/movies/fox/streetfighterlegendchunli/streetfighterlegendchunli-tlrb_480p.mov for example
[12:01] <arvind_khadri> EADG, ya
[12:01] <bullgard4> sheep: Basically, /etc/mailcap says that personal MIME information should be put ~/.mailcap. You told me that personal MIME information is put in ~/.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache. This are two different files.
[12:01] <EADG> Oh Dear.
[12:01] <sheep> bullgard4: they can be put in either
[12:01] <shawarma_rules> arvind_khadri, it is a well known fact that those who love shawarma are more travelled and adventurous and therefore have a wider set of life experiences which trasnlates directly into being better at ubuntu :)
[12:01] <EADG> Sorry.
[12:01] <sheep> bullgard4: some programs will check mailcap files, others will check the mimeinfo.cache files
[12:02] <gierfc> reaktae: what do you get when you try to mount the first partition
[12:02] <arvind_khadri> shawarma_rules, oh well...
[12:02] <bullgard4> sheep: Ah, ok. --  Thank you very much for explaining.
[12:02] <quibbler> yakuz, i'm having no trouble what plugins are you using?
[12:03] <yakuz> yakuz: I don't use no plugin. Which do you use?
[12:03] <endo602> Hi Everyone, my problem is that sometimes my sound drops and I can't get it back unless i reboot
[12:03] <yakuz> quibbler: no video plugin that is.
[12:03] <darryl_> shawarma_rules: it is a well known fact that Windows rules the desktop, but yet we are here?
[12:03] <reaktae> gierfc: /dev/sdb1 has no superblock
[12:03] <iSchadow> how do I add something like "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/globalmenu-team/ubuntu intrepid main" to my repos?
[12:04] <sheep> iSchadow: edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:04] <jrib> iSchadow: system -> administration -> software sources -> third-party software
[12:04] <shawarma_rules> darryl_, windows is popular, like mcdonalds, linux is quality and offers a rich experience, like linuyx
[12:04] <shawarma_rules> i mean like shawarma :)
[12:05] <Munim> shawarma_rules: are in anywhere in the arab world? i love shawarma!
[12:05] <gierfc> reaktae: have you any sensitive data on your drive?
[12:05] <yakuz> quibbler: what plugin do you use? Might test with it.
[12:05] <endo602> Hi Everyone, my problem is that sometimes my sound drops and I can't get it back unless i reboot, any suggestions?
[12:05] <reaktae> gierfc: .9tb of them
[12:05] <n2diy> shawarma_rules: that is a circular reference.
[12:05] <shawarma_rules> Seattle, WA here, but a new shawarma place opened up, which i love!
[12:05] <kj4> <---has never had shawarma
[12:05] <tapas> hi
[12:05] <quibbler> yakuz, http://pastebin.com/m4f42b166
[12:06] <tapas> i want to file a bug report, but i do not know which package is responsible..
[12:06] <jrib> endo602: pulse audio is probably just bugging out, check bugs.ubuntu.com while you wait for someone to help more
[12:06] <jrib> tapas: #ubuntu-bugs
[12:06] <ugliefrog> Im so glad I started using linux its smooth. Got my son to dualboot in his machine today. Hes really diggin it
[12:06] <tapas> there's an own channel for bugs, cool ;)
[12:06] <uriol> hi
[12:07] <gierfc> reaktae: do you know which filesystem is used?
[12:07] <uriol> i have an epson printer
[12:07] <uriol> a multifunction dx 4550
[12:07] <jrib> !enter | uriol
[12:07] <uriol> i don't know how to check the ink cartridges levels
[12:07] <reaktae> gierfc: it's ext4 and i had to flag it test_fs otherwise it wouldn't let me work with it.
[12:07] <gompa> print 200 pages chek how long it keeps going xD
[12:08] <uriol> but there are 4 cartridges, 1 empty, and i don't know which of them is
[12:08] <uriol> surely it's the black color
[12:08] <gierfc> reaktae: don't know if fsck supports ext4 but try "fsck.ext4 /dev/sdb1"
[12:09] <n2diy> black is not a color
[12:09] <gierfc> reaktae: fsck checks and repairs the filesystem
[12:09] <quibbler> yakuz, http://pastebin.com/m4d2952ee  a little better to read
[12:10] <Decepticon> bizinichi@ks361773:~$ sudo adduser Owner

[12:10] <ysgst> why don't I have a GID for group nobody?
[12:10] <Decepticon> what it means?
[12:11] <jrib> ysgst: how are you determining that?
[12:11] <jrib> Decepticon: try lower case
[12:11] <ysgst> jrib: daemon log
[12:11] <ysgst> " failed to find GID for group nobody"
[12:12] <Decepticon> jrib: the username has to be Owner
[12:12] <ysgst> use --force-badname then
[12:12] <ysgst> sudo adduser --force-badname Owner
[12:12] <Decepticon> what does this entail? why is this a bad name
[12:12] <jrib> Decepticon: why?
[12:12] <Decepticon> jrib: this is a winxp user, i want to give him access seamlessly to samba shares, aftwarwards i will do sudo spmbpasswd -a Owner
[12:13] <oCean__> Decepticon: use "useradd"
[12:13] <reaktae> gierfc: fsck.ext4: with sdb1 i get "Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sdb1 / Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program?" but i think that's a swap partition anyway. i'm now running it on sdb3 which appears to have all of my data.
[12:13] <Decepticon> jrib: afaik, making a local user that matches the XP username, and adding him to smbpasswd, will give him samba access
[12:13] <fireburn_> lut
[12:13] <yakuz> quibbler: I installed vlc media player plugin same problem. I see you got alot of plugins
[12:13] <Decepticon> jrib: is this correct thinking

[12:15] <ShoeUnited> Welcome benacke! You have achieved a new peak of 1321 users for #ubuntu!
[12:15] <GreenDelta2> hey i have a new problem: the linux installation seemed to be finished (the loading bar was at 100%) but i just got a blackscreen. so after 20mins waiting, looking on a black monitor, i decided to manually reboot, and he bootet windows, like nothing has been changed??
[12:15] <ysgst> how do I create group nobody?
[12:15] <jrib> Decepticon: I don't know much about samba, check:
[12:15] <jrib> !samba > Decepticon
[12:16] <gierfc> reaktae: ??
[12:16] <reaktae> gierfc: swapoff gives "invalid argument" fsck gave "Inode 2686981 has an invalid extent (logical block 0, invalid physical block<PHONE_NUMBER>9650, len 616933) Clear<y>?" I don't want that, do I?

[12:17] <puddle> :<
[12:17] <gierfc> reaktae: yes...
[12:18] <reaktae> gierfc: sorry to be so helpless, i did try to read all the mans but don't know what to make of it. what is that gonna do?
[12:18] <mikebeecham1> hi there...can anyone guide me in changing from DHCP to static IP in Intrepid...I cant seem to work it out
[12:19] <quibbler> yakuz, try installing mplayer which has a quicktime plugin amd mosplugger both in synaptic and mozilla plugin-vlc also in synaptic
[12:19] <gierfc> reaktae: it will fix an error on the drive...
[12:19] <ysgst> What's the ubuntu version of "service iptables save"?
[12:20] <jrib> mikebeecham1: system -> preferences -> network configuration should be pretty straightforward.  Personally, I just edit /etc/network/interfaces so you probably want to use the gui
[12:20] <mikebeecham1> jrib: I have been looking at the network configuration, but I cannot seem to set it.  I do what I think should be done, but I lose connectivity with the internet
[12:21] <jrib> mikebeecham1: what are you doing?  My guess is to change Method from DHCP to manual
[12:21] <ysgst> jrib: I have a user named nobody but not a group called nobody
[12:21] <Jimmey> When following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux ; I can boot Kubuntu but the partitioner on the installer fails to see my disk, it just doesn't bring it up - So I can't select a partition to install to. Does anyone know how to get around that? Or any other method of installing Kubuntu on a separate partition without the use of a CD/DVD/USB?
[12:22] <jrib> ysgst: nor do I.  You have a group called "nogroup"
[12:22] <mikebeecham1> jrib: done that.....I enter manual, put in my desired static IP, netmask, gateway, and untick "system setting"....I then lose connectivity
[12:22] <ysgst> jrib: thanks
[12:22] <mikebeecham1> it does set the ip to what I want, but I cannot then access the internet
[12:22] <jrib> mikebeecham1: hold on, let me try using nm.  (I'll get disconnected)
[12:22] <ysgst> how can I check a daemon is running as nobody?
[12:22] <predder> Jimmey: what motherboard do you have?
[12:23] <jrib> ysgst: ps -ef | grep WHATEVER
[12:23] <Jimmey> predder an ASUS PK-Something
[12:23] <gompa> mikebeecham1 did you set your dns ?
[12:23] <Imaginativeone_> how do I create a separate, internal lan?
[12:23] <mikebeecham1> gompa, would that be something like openDNS?
[12:23] <Jimmey> predder, I ask because I have no USB disks big enough and my CD Drive is bust.
[12:23] <mikebeecham1> and if so would it be xx.xx.xx.xx, xx.xx.xx.xx
[12:24] <predder> Jimmey: P5K something I guess. Newish chipset but Kubuntu should see it unless you have an old version?
[12:24] <gompa> mikebeecham1 for exaple, your internet provider has one to
[12:24] <Jimmey> I'll get the exact motherboard version, 1 sec.
[12:24] <ysgst> jrib: if it's running as user nobody does that automatically mean it's group nogroup?
[12:24] <mizipzor> im trying to get a file from a friend who knows nothing of computers, even installing an ftp client is out of the question... is there any program that is http based with a big red button that says "upload" or something? :p
[12:25] <dr_Willis> mizipzor,  theres plenty of web sites yu can upload files to.. or email
[12:25] <Jimmey> predder - P5N73-AM
[12:25] <dr_Willis> mizipzor,  irc and other im clients can also transfer files
[12:25] <mikebeecham1> gompa: I understand what you mean..,.openDNS would be the preferred DNS settings.  I have tried these and same result
[12:25] <Jimmey> predder, I didn't have this trouble when I installed first time using a USB disk
[12:25] <mizipzor> dr_Willis: the file is a ~500 mb, uncompressed avi so most sites dont allow that big
[12:25] <predder> Jimmey: one sec
[12:25] <Jimmey> K.
[12:26] <mizipzor> dr_Willis: yes, first we tried was msn, but the transfer speed you get there sometimes is painfully slow
[12:26] <Bomber87> hello all!
[12:26] <gompa> mizipzor compress and make torrent
[12:27] <predder> Jimmey: it looks like your controller supports AHCI
[12:27] <predder> The nforce 610i
[12:27] <Jimmey> predder, not to sure what that means :-P
[12:27] <predder> are you familiar with going into the system bios?
[12:27] <Jimmey> Yep
[12:27] <mizipzor> gompa: easy now, im trying to get the file from a friend who cant even figure out how to install a ftp client to connect to my server...
[12:27] <linxeh> mizipzor: if you configure your machines/firewalls/NAT router properly with the correct port forwarding then IRC and IM transfers should be pretty fast, as they will go peer-to-peer rather than via the servers
[12:28] <linxeh> mizipzor: your friend can use Internet Explorer to connect to your FTP sever
[12:28] <predder> jump into the bios and switch your hard disk controller type from native or legacy or whatever they have it set to at the moment to AHCI if you can
[12:28] <mizipzor> linxeh: yes, but that only gives the option to download, correct?
[12:28] <predder> it's an alternate way of the operating system talking to your disk controller
[12:28] <predder> hence, kubuntu being able to see your disks
[12:28] <Jimmey> predder, is there a big difference?
[12:28] <linxeh> mizipzor: ok, yes unfortunately :)
[12:28] <predder> not performance wise no, but compatibility wise for linux - yes.
[12:29] <predder> be aware, you'll need AHCI drivers for your windows install if you have one
[12:29] <predder> otherwise windows won't be able to see your hard drive mid boot
[12:29] <Jimmey> predder, AHCI is better for Linux?
[12:29] <predder> yes it is
[12:29] <Jimmey> predder, oh brilliant.
[12:29] <predder> what, AHCI support in Linux or windows? :P
[12:30] <predder> Vista _should_ support it but I don't know off the top of my head
[12:30] <Jimmey> Is AHCI better when using Linux though
[12:30] <predder> but I know for sure you need drivers for xp to work
[12:30] <predder> think of it as a universal language for an operating system to talk to your disk controller
[12:30] <uriol> are you buddhist ? gompa ?
[12:30] <predder> at the moment, Linux doesn't know how to speak to your disk controller
[12:31] <predder> but AHCI is like an agreed language
[12:31] <predder> that both Linux and your disk controller understand
[12:31] <Jimmey> predder, sweet
[12:31] <predder> windows doesn't understand it without a driver (well, neither does linux but the driver is in the kernel already)
[12:31] <gompa> uriol nah just a dutch stoner
[12:31] <predder> good luck. Just remember to take note of what your current setting
[12:32] <predder> so you can change it back if AHCI doesn't work
[12:32] <Jimmey> predder, wish me luck then.
[12:32] <uriol> gompa is a buddhist temple
[12:32] <uriol> in tibetan
[12:32] <uriol> means temple
[12:32] <bobbob1016> I have Ibex on an eeepc 901, and for some reason, my flash drives keep going read-only.  Anyone know why that'd happen?
[12:32] <gompa> uriol  i know
[12:32] <mikebeecham> well that didnt work...still stuck with automatic DHCP :(
[12:33] <gompa> uriol  i found out after using it as a nick for over 2 years
[12:33] <bobbob1016> I'm saving one file to the drive now, but anything else says read-only, even terminal.
[12:33] <uriol> :)
[12:33] <tuntun> Hi. When I search for a file in nautilis it searches again if I change the view mode. Is that normal (it is slow)?
[12:33] <crashflow> if the ubuntu distro I use becomes outdated, will I still be able to add or remove programs?
[12:34] <Agion> how can I install ncmpcpp to ubuntu?
[12:34] <jrib> crashflow: you can upgrade to a newer version
[12:34] <jrib> !upgrade | crashflow
[12:34] <Imaginativeone_> test
[12:34] <crashflow> jrgp, ok, but if I don't the the old repos become unavailable I guess?
[12:35] <mikebeecham> unless I missed any comments whilst being offline, can anyone help further with changing from Auto DHCP to static IP address please?  If I missed previous comments, I apologise
[12:35] <jrib> crashflow: after 18 months for non-LTS releases, you aren't guaranteed security updates, so you should upgrade.  Yes, there are still repositories for unsupported release but they should only be used to bring your system up to date so you can upgrade
[12:35] <Imaginativeone_> how do I create an internal lan?
[12:35] <Imaginativeone_> Apache?
[12:35] <crashflow> jrgp, ok thanks
[12:35] <Marty> mikebeecham: further? how far have you gotten so far?
[12:36] <jrib> mikebeecham: did you check your dns settings like someone else suggested?
[12:36] <mizipzor> i want something like this http://www.rejetto.com/hfs/?f=intro but for linux, does anyone know something like that?
[12:36] <mikebeecham> Marty: I have set the static IP address, but then lose connectivity
[12:36] <mikebeecham> jrib: I have input openDNS dns settings, as xx.xx.xx.xx, xx.xx.xx.xx
[12:36] <mikebeecham> this made no difference
[12:37] <Marty> Did you set your gateway properly?
[12:37] <mikebeecham> yes
[12:38] <mikebeecham> I do networking for windows...I thought the crossover to Linux would be similiar!
[12:38] <mikebeecham> but it's not playing ball with me!
[12:38] <Marty> Well I've been having similar problems.
[12:38] <mikebeecham> really>
[12:39] <Imaginativeone_> how do I create an internal lan?
[12:39] <Marty> Yes, it worked, I got updates and it stopped working.

[12:40] <Imaginativeone_> user: what contexts are there?
[12:40] <tuntun> Hi. When I search for a file in nautilis it searches again if I change the view mode. Is that normal (it is slow)?

[12:48] <Seal8> I'm new to Ubuntu.  Everything sems to be working but I can't get any volume using rhymbox.  I can barely hear the music but can't turn it up.  Otherwise rhytmbox seems to see and list all of my music.  Any suggestions?
[12:49] <user___> Imaginativeone_: so you could relive one of the intel boxes and use it as a firewall/gateway/router

[12:50] <Zta> Is there a small util that displays a file browser, and returns the select file name on the stdout, so that I can use it in scripts?
[12:50] <tuntun> When I search for a file in nautilis it searches again if I change the view mode. Is that normal (it is slow)?
[12:50] <dr_Willis> Zta,  ive seen such a tool.. but i forget what it was called. 'xdialog' or similer perhaps
[12:51] <Zta> dr_Willis, xmessage can't browse files.
[12:51] <barbadillo> i think the compcache issue is not a "code guru" issue, but it affects all ubuntu systems
[12:52] <Decepticon> when i a dd a user with sudo useradd, what is his password, so i may chang it with passwd when i log in as him
[12:52] <Decepticon> when i a dd a user with sudo useradd, what is his password, so i may chang it with passwd when i log in as him
[12:52] <barbadillo> it should be fixed immediatly
[12:52] <Gizmo_The_Great> Hi. Got an iPod mounted at /media/ipod as vfat. I can't chown /media/ipod  to my user account because it FAT. Trying to sync ipod with Amarok but it can't write to ipod. ??
[12:52] <dr_Willis> Zta,  it may have optiosn.. or there may be a enhanced variant that can.. i recall using one likd 5+ yrs ago :)
[12:52] <Decepticon> when i add a user with sudo useradd, what is his password, so i may change it with passwd when i log in as him
[12:53] <dr_Willis> Decepticon,  sudo passwd username
[12:53] <derjoerg> Decepticon: just execute "sudo passwd <user>" to change
[12:53] <dr_Willis> Decepticon,  or use 'sudo adduser' and it will ask
[12:54] <barbadillo> any ubuntu developer here please?
[12:55] <barbadillo> i've read this thread http://code.google.com/p/compcache/issues/detail?id=12#c10
[12:56] <barbadillo> it does not show any solution to a simple ubuntu user
[12:56] <barbadillo> it's very annoying
[12:57] <barbadillo> 300 MB logs every day can be a problem for any system
[12:59] <Commie_Cary> how do I spawn a X season on F8
[12:59] <Imaginativeone_> user: any luck?
[12:59] <rjune> Commie_Cary: switch user I think
[13:00] <rjune> or did you want  to permanantly have a second session on f8?
[13:00] <soreau> Commie_Cary: You can run something like 'xinit /usr/local/bin/.xinitrc -- :1' from a tty
[13:00] <Jimmey> predder, I tried it, but regardless, the installer's partitioning part didn't work at all.
[13:00] <Jimmey> predder, I should mention that I am running that install disk from my hard drive rather than a CD - Would that make the difference?
[13:00] <Commie_Cary> soreau, but I hve 1 on F7 and I want a additional one on F8
[13:01] <elsaxo> hithere need, can help me with network config ?
[13:01] <soreau> Commie_Cary: That's what that command will do. Where '/usr/local/bin/.xinitrc' is a list of programs to start with the additional session
[13:01] <GreenDelta2> hey, i installed now linux 2 times, everytime a the end of installation he saysi had to reboot my pcnow for using it, so i clicked on reboot, and all i got was blackscreen. so i rebooted manually and nothing happens, he just boots windows normally... what can i do???
[13:01] <Schmidt> GreenDelta2: did you install the bootloader?
[13:02] <elsaxo> hithere need, can help me with network config ?
[13:02] <Commie_Cary> soreau, woah this is awesome
[13:02] <elsaxo> network config help, please
[13:02] <GreenDelta2> Schmidt: i never was asked to do this or not, but as i remember, the ubuntu installation should install a grub anyway
[13:02] <bobbob1016> barbadillo, That does show a simple solution, it says add "vmalloc=512M" to your kernel boot line, so try google-ing "kernel boot line" linux
[13:03] <elsaxo> network config help, please
[13:04] <barbadillo> bobbob1016, i can handle it, i'm speaking about a "normal user" that can't even imagine what's the problem
[13:04] <barbadillo> my was a suggestion to fix it as soon as possible in the upcoming releases
[13:04] <elsaxo> i have config interfaces + resolv + i have done ifup and all ok
[13:04] <elsaxo> but when i restart all gone
[13:05] <trollboy> Why is it, when I click on a window nothing happens, I have to alt-tab or use the task bar to change window focus

[13:07] <elsaxo> network config help, please
[13:07] <Ward1983> elsaxo, problem being?
[13:08] <barbadillo> compcache should be disabled by default and enabled only on low ram machines

[13:09] <jrib> !grub | GreenDelta2
[13:09] <homy1> Which is a good log file analyzer for squid? (With pretty graphs)
[13:09] <homy1> !squid
[13:09] <jrib> GreenDelta2: try installing grub manually
[13:09] <soreau> GreenDelta2: Maybe the bootloader (grub) didn't install correctly or successfully
[13:09] <jrib> elsaxo: best to just ask the channel your question.  If someone knows the answer, they will try to help you
[13:10] <jrib> Commie_Cary: gdmflexiserver -l   will spawn a new X instance with gdm in a new tty
[13:11] <nofale> hi everybody
[13:11] <elsaxo> after restart system , system not taking  manully setup eth0
[13:12] <nofale> anyone know an application for reproducea

[13:12] <jrib> elsaxo: how did you set it up exactly?

[13:13] <everettz> Is there a utility that I can use to remap keys in Intrepid?

[13:14] <soreau> nofale: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToSeq24Introduction

[13:14] <Seal8> ok thanks!
[13:14] <Imaginativeone_> with intranet info
[13:14] <everettz> jrib: Ideally not a grapical interface.
[13:14] <jrib> Seal8: I don't know how outdated that is, but you can read it for clues until someone else can help
[13:14] <jrib> everettz: you can use xmodmap
[13:15] <Jimmey> Does anyone know how I can install Linux on an empty partition on my disk from a working linux install
[13:15] <Ward1983> how do i install only the dependencies of a package?
[13:15] <user___> Imaginativeone_: so you could relive one of the intel boxes and use it as a firewall/gateway/router
[13:15] <jrib> everettz: or you can just modify your keyboard layout.  Read /usr/share/doc/xkb-data/README.Debian
[13:15] <everettz> jrib: Ok, I'll look to see if there is documentation on that.  I am using Intrepid on a Mac through VMWare Fusion.
[13:16] <jrib> everettz: should be fine afaik
[13:16] <jrib> Ward1983: why?
[13:16] <Ward1983> jrib, i need to build it, or will build-dep isntall those packages aswell? or only the -dev ones etc?
[13:17] <jrib> Ward1983: why do you need to build it?
[13:17] <Ward1983> jrib, because the one in the repos is old junk.... thats why
[13:17] <jrib> Ward1983: what package?
[13:17] <Ward1983> jrib, i did it before its no problem it works fine
[13:17] <Ward1983> jrib, never mind this is not much help
[13:17] <jrib> Ward1983: k...
[13:18] <Ward1983> jsut want to know how to list them or install them
[13:18] <jrib> Ward1983: I'll tell you as soon as I make sure there isn't a better way.   If you can just answer some simple questions, you might get some help. Being difficult is counterproductive
[13:20] <quibbler> Ward1983, what package
[13:20] <Ward1983> soreau, my question is extremely clear...
[13:20] <soreau> Ward1983: Which package?
[13:20] <Ward1983> never mind :)
[13:20] <Ward1983> goodbye
[13:20] <jrib> Ward1983: I don't understand why you just don't tell us the package...  What's the big deal?
[13:20] <quibbler> Ward1983, bye
[13:21] <Ward1983> jrib, the big deal is i ask a simple question and i would like a simple answer
[13:21] <Ward1983> jrib, not a flamewar

[13:23] <jxander> i use ati big desktop with 1280x800 and 1280x1024... could i restrict the gnome desktop to use only 800 height instead of the 1024 virtual desktop resolution? this is a region on the laptop panel (the first one) which i cannot see, but icons are placed there.
[13:23] <reaktae> Neku: and then apt-get update|apt-get upgrade

[13:23] <rubenv> is there a way to automatically install all debug packages related to a certain binary?
[13:23] <corden> guys what seems the cause of this problem
[13:23] <Neku> it says E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[13:23] <KingWilliam> Best browser is Chrome :( But it isn't for ubuntu
[13:24] <Neku> jussi01: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[13:24] <jussi01> Neku: so do: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[13:24] <sky_> how i can upgrade my openoffice ? :X

[13:25] <jxander> anyone? or is there a possibility to restrict the use of a part of the gnome desktop?
[13:25] <corden> this problem solve by restarting the gnome desktop
[13:25] <sky_> uhm ?
[13:25] <Neku> jussi01: aha seems to be doing something
[13:25] <alkjflsakjf> jxander put tape over it
[13:25] <corden> any body experiencing this?

[13:26] <corden> what seems the cause of this
[13:26] <sky_> how i can upgrade OO to OO v3 ?
[13:26] <KingWilliam> cordon: I have no idea... Maybe slow graphics card? Or troubles with flah?
[13:26] <Jeruvy> sky_: manually
[13:26] <n2diy> corden:  sounds like memory leaks in firefox, I have to restart ff once a day.
[13:27] <jxander> alkjflsakjf: i don't even see it :P, but icons are placed there... it's the big desktop with different resolutions dead zone... bug gnome puts icons there... :(... any other idea?
[13:27] <sky_> how i can change system font ?
[13:27] <rubenv> system -> preferences -> appearance -> fonts
[13:27] <soreau> jxander: You can set a virtual line in x conf or attempt to use 1280x800 for both screens.. there is not really a way to tell gnome to handle this since it's an X issue and you're running two different screens at different resolutions
[13:27] <atlef> sky_: add deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main to your sources.list, remove oov2.x and install OO v3
[13:28] <quibbler> corden, not enough ram?? firefox using too much memory??why several firefox windows??
[13:28] <jxander> soreau: thanks for answering...
[13:28] <gauravkumar> downloaded the wow trial from blizzard's site.. any idea who to run it using wine.. i open it but get a corruped license agreement and i can press agree.. any help would be great
[13:28] <corden> i have a 1GB ram
[13:29] <atlef> sky_: in system > preferences > apperance
[13:29] <sky_> atlef: thank you
[13:29] <soreau> jxander: Either way, you're probably not going to get exactly what you want since I assume your using a lappy with external monitor
[13:29] <corden> i used several FF windows since i'm need it in my work
[13:29] <quibbler> corden, how much is firefox using?

[13:29] <KX> Mmm, all of a sudden my mouse's scroll wheel seems to scroll WAY TOO FAST.
[13:29] <KX> Any ideas?
[13:29] <soreau> jxander: Using screens with comparable native resolutions would be optimal
[13:29] <KX> Like on Firefox, one little tap will scroll an entire page.
[13:30] <sheep> sky_: april 2009 (9.04 = 4th month of 2009)
[13:30] <corden> 151MB quite big
[13:30] <KingWilliam> KX: you can set the amount of lines to scroll somewhere
[13:30] <KX> You can? Well that's good, now to find it...
[13:30] <sky_> where i can check what will be new ? :)
[13:30] <atlef> sky_: 23. april
[13:30] <endo602> is there a way to make my sound come back without restarting?
[13:30] <jrib> KX: about:config will bring you closer :)
[13:30] <corden> i had 4 ff windows with about 6 tabs
[13:30] <KX> No no
[13:30] <KX> Not just Firefox
[13:30] <KX> Scrolling in general is way too fast
[13:30] <Jimmey> Can I install Linux into a blank partition on my hard drive without any external media like a CD or USB stick?
[13:30] <n2diy> sky ! ubuntu + 1
[13:30] <KX> On GEdit, on XChat etc.
[13:31] <jxander> soreau: exactly, but isn't there a way to restrict at least mouse movement on the screen?
[13:31] <gauravkumar> downloaded the wow trial from blizzard's site.. any idea how to run it using wine.. i open it but get a corrupted license agreement and i cant press agree.. any help would be great

[13:31] <Aron_> hi,I wonder how can I install gimp 2.6.4 on my ubuntu hardy
[13:32] <KX> KingWilliam: Not that I know of, no
[13:32] <quibbler> corden, a long time ago but it was addons I used that gave a memory leak
[13:32] <atlef> Aron_: download from getdeb.net
[13:32] <KX> Does anyone know if there's a setting in Ubuntu that controls how many lines the scroll wheel scrolls?
[13:33] <KX> Or at what frequency it scrolls or anything
[13:33] <sky_> which font is default on Unbuntu ?
[13:33] <corden> what add-on? since im using several
[13:33] <Jimmey> KX, can you set it in System>Preferences>Mouse?

[13:33] <jrib> KX: what mouse?
[13:33] <barisha> does anyone knows a #java channel ?
[13:33] <KX> No I can't?
[13:33] <Aron_> atlef: it appears while I am trying to access the site
[13:33] <jrib> barisha: ##java probably
[13:33] <sheep> barisha: ##java, but it requires that you be identified to nickserv
[13:33] <soreau> jxander: Try setting a virtual line in your x conf, here's an example of how to do that http://pastebin.com/m481a92df in your case, I would test 1280 800 and 1280 1024
[13:33] <KingWilliam> KX: It is not in the preferences
[13:34] <KingWilliam> KX: I checked
[13:34] <KX> I noticed.
[13:34] <KingWilliam> KX: Do you use a microsoft keyboard???
[13:34] <KX> So why is it scrolling like crazy all of a sudden.
[13:34] <sky_> which font is default on Ubuntu ?
[13:34] <KX> Microsoft mouse, Logitech keyboard.
[13:34] <KX> Probably Bitstream Vera Sans
[13:34] <KX> idk
[13:34] <KingWilliam> KX: nice, check out this topic on the forums ;) :

[13:35] <quibbler> corden, I can't remember now try disabling them all and see if the video works well...if it does...re-enable them one at a time to see when or if the problem returns
[13:35] <zorobot> what should i do?
[13:35] <sheep> zorobot: edgy isn't supported anymore
[13:35] <jrib> zorobot: edgy is no longer supported.  There are no longer security updates for it.  You should upgrade to a supported version of ubuntu
[13:35] <zorobot> is it because edgy is not supported anymore?
[13:35] <KX> Might there be some obscure preference that controls mouse scrolling speed somewhere?
[13:35] <corden> ok quibbler, tnx for the info
[13:35] <zorobot> yeah, but how?
[13:35] <jrib> !upgrade | zorobot
[13:36] <quibbler> corden, you are welcome

[13:36] <zorobot> ok, thanks
[13:36] <KingWilliam> KX: unplug and plug back in mate
[13:36] <soreau> jxander: Another option would be to tell Big Desktop the monitors are arranged in a vertical fashion. Though it my not be the best solution, it's worth giving it a shot
[13:36] <zorobot> i´ll try
[13:36] <KX> I doubt that will change anything, KingWilliam.
[13:36] <tvgv> anyone know a short tab to make the screen rightin advanced desktop mode without moving the cursor or pressing alt tab or switch screens back and forth????
[13:36] <jrib> zorobot: though backing up and reinstalling might be faster since you have to go edgy -> feisty (also unsupported) -> gutsy (unsupported in 3 months) -> hardy
[13:37] <KingWilliam> KX: It seems these microsoft mice remember their config in the hardware itself, so you need to reset that
[13:37] <KX> but how has the config changed?
[13:37] <KX> I mean, I recently booted into Windows and installed some drivers etc. so I guess it could be that

[13:39] <jrib> rencx: best to just ask the channel your question.  If someone knows the answer, they will try to help you
[13:39] <atlef> Aron_: i know nothing about compiling, sorry
[13:39] <soreau> rencx: For which device specifically?
[13:39] <rencx> i have more than 10 question
[13:39] <Aron_> atlef: thank you all the same~
[13:39] <zorobot> i have no cd rom or thumbdrive, what would be easiest way to reinstall?

[13:40] <rencx> i need install skype
[13:40] <jrib> Aron_: why are you compiling gegl?
[13:40] <jxander> soreau: yeah, in this case it would probably work, both having the same width, but generally i use another external panel of 1680x1050, so i was hoping to find a solution to be able to just ignore the region that is out of view. trying the virtual line right now...
[13:40] <rencx> i did tutorial but it dont work
[13:40] <zorobot> should i just upgrade and upgrade frome edgy ... to hardy?

[13:41] <LetsGo67> How do I tell Ubuntu to mount my camera as a USB Mass Storage Device?

[13:42] <bjbum> My mouse was working fine. I restarted. Now my USB mouse wont work. I don't know what to do about it. AFAIK the mouse hasn't died. It was working perfectly fine, cord and structurally everything looks ok. I've unplugged and replugged and restarted to no avail
[13:43] <daredevilthere> HEy all how can i permantly turn on ip forwording
[13:43] <jrib> Aron_: sudo apt-get build-dep gimp   but you should keep track of everything you install manually as apt won't
[13:43] <jrib> !compile > Aron_
[13:43] <soreau> jxander: Then you have even yet further options. The open sourced radeon drivers now support that chipset which means while using them, you could use xrandr to configure resolutions dynamically (without restarting X)
[13:43] <jrib> daredevilthere: use /etc/sysctl.conf
[13:44] <jxander> soreau: and will that work with compiz too?
[13:44] <LetsGo67> jrib: if it were so, then Vista (which I usually hate) wouldn't do both.  In Vista, it mounts it *both* as a camera *and* a USB mass storage device.
[13:44] <quibbler> Aron_, look here: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/10/13/install-gimp-26-in-ubuntu-804/
[13:44] <ali__> YAY! ubuntu works again
[13:44] <soreau> jxander: What is the output of 'glxinfo -l|grep MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE'?
[13:44] <jrib> LetsGo67: don't know then
[13:45] <jrib> LetsGo67: what camera?
[13:45] <Aron_> quibbler: I have read that, but getdeb.net doesn't work now
[13:45] <jxander> soreau: oh... i almost forgot to check that... :-s... checking now
[13:45] <soreau> jxander: But yes, the radeon drivers will work with compiz on that card
[13:46] <harlemdavvey> guys what are the default permissions of a normal user??
[13:46] <jxander> soreau: 4096
[13:46] <jrib> harlemdavvey: users don't have permissions, files do
[13:46] <harlemdavvey> i have to set to default my privileges and i don't know how to do that
[13:46] <daredevilthere> jrib: And how to i make ip routing permanent
[13:46] <jrib> daredevilthere: same way?
[13:46] <harlemdavvey> jrib: i have to set to deault my privileges
[13:46] <quibbler> Aron_, you are going to have to wait
[13:46] <jrib> harlemdavvey: be more specific
[13:47] <Aron_> quibbler: ooh
[13:47] <jrib> quibbler: if you want newer software why not just upgrade to intrepid instead of circumventing apt?
[13:47] <elt> How I can I change tool bar color in firefox?
[13:47] <jrib> Aron_: if you want newer software why not just upgrade to intrepid instead of circumventing apt?
[13:47] <harlemdavvey> jrib: i have recently modified some stuff about my system (i have ubuntu 8.10) and i have set my privileges as root
[13:47] <jxander> soreau: compiz is working right now with both as a big desktop... is it possible it won't work with the 1680x1050 one and the laptop?
[13:47] <jrib> harlemdavvey: be more specific as to what exactly you did
[13:47] <soreau> jxander: Perfect. So you can use compiz with the radeon drivers at nearly any resolutions supported by your monitors. Also, video playback is faster with the open radeon drivers. However, if you do anything else 3d (gaming or google earth for instance) you probably want to stick with fglrx
[13:47] <n2diy> alt, right click the toolbar, and select preferences.
[13:47] <harlemdavvey> i have to set to defaul my privileges
[13:47] <quibbler> jrib, i don't Aron_ does
[13:47] <harlemdavvey> that's it
[13:48] <harlemdavvey> i have to be a normal user, not a root user
[13:48] <EraZ> What is the shortcut to switch between the two desktops?
[13:48] <jrib> harlemdavvey: what did you mean exactly when you said: "i have recently modified some stuff about my system"?
[13:48] <EraZ> Because pressing the little icon in the right corner of my screen is irritating :)
[13:48] <Aron_> jrib: this computer is used by several users, so I cannot upgrade it if others not agreed
[13:48] <sky_> anyone can me help with fixing problems on Dark Themes for Ubuntu ?
[13:49] <daredevilthere> jrib: i am using my internet on laptop via ubuntu pand bluetooth deamon.evything is working fine bt laptop dosent open some sites ????
[13:49] <jxander> soreau: thanks, will restart x now to check the virtual... brb
[13:49] <soreau> jxander: The bottom line is, you cannot have a total resolution greater than 4096 in any dimension or else compiz will not work.
[13:49] <soreau> Yurp
[13:49] <harlemdavvey> i have modified my system's permissions, users and groups settings
[13:49] <tom0360> Hello all, is anyone currently using the ext4 filesystem? If so was it a clean install or did you Migrate an existing Ext3 filesystem to Ext4?
[13:50] <harlemdavvey> and i now have the same privileges as the sudo user
[13:50] <Baz__> what theme does the panel fall under if i were to download one from gnome-looks?
[13:50] <jrib> harlemdavvey: how exactly did you modify that?  WHat did you actually *do*?
[13:50] <harlemdavvey> i did modify privileges on the System-administration-users and groups panel
[13:51] <jrib> harlemdavvey: ok... what privileges did you add/remove?
[13:51] <jrib> !who | harlemdavvey
[13:51] <jrib> Baz__: gtk2
[13:52] <harlemdavvey> jrib: i added every privilege possible to my nick
[13:52] <Baz__> jrib: thanks
[13:52] <LetsGo67> jrib: Kodak EasyShare C340
[13:52] <jrib> harlemdavvey: there isn't anything wrong with that if you want that to be your administrative user
[13:52] <harlemdavvey> jrib:i found that now, when i enter the terminal now, i have not the need to rewrite my sudo password every time
[13:53] <jrib> harlemdavvey: then you must have done something else.  You want to disable that now?    Do you have another user for that purpose already setup?
[13:54] <soreau> Baz__: That is a question I've been wondering for years now
[13:54] <harlemdavvey> jrib: i have the root user for the administrative privileges
[13:54] <nnull> jrib, any idea dude?
[13:54] <jrib> LetsGo67: were you here before about this?  I think someone else had the same issue with a kodak camera a few days ago
[13:55] <nnull> sounds like a irq conflict
[13:55] <Peanut> Hi - with 8.04, I could have the cube compiz effect and a background per desktop, but only by disabling Nautilus. Has this been fixed in 8.10, and if so, how does one set a wallpaper per desktop?
[13:55] <bjbum> My mouse was working fine. I restarted. Now my USB mouse wont work. I don't know what to do about it. AFAIK the mouse hasn't died. It was working perfectly fine, cord and structurally everything looks ok. I've unplugged and replugged and restarted to no avail. Anyone able to help? >.<
[13:55] <jrib> harlemdavvey: then just uncheck "administer the system" in Users and Groups
[13:55] <harlemdavvey> jrib: if i do not set back my privileges to the normal-user-ones,  everyone will be able to read whatever i put into that password protected folder
[13:55] <LetsGo67> jrib: prolly me ;)
[13:55] <jrib> nnull: nope
[13:56] <soreau> Peanut: Can you ask in #compiz-fusion?
[13:56] <Baz__> can i strip out just the panel changes in a gtk2 theme?
[13:56] <jrib> Baz__: you can edit the theme manually I suppose
[13:56] <Baz__> jrib: i think i'd love to do that - is it challenging?
[13:56] <jrib> Baz__: art.gnome.org has some tutorials if you want to read them.  It's not hard
[13:56] <Peanut> Sure, thanks for the hint, soreau
[13:57] <Baz__> jrib: fun... i'm too tired to do anything serious right now
[13:57] <harlemdavvey> jrib: thanks!
[13:57] <harlemdavvey> guys is there any ubuntu forum where is possible to sponsorize my blog about open source software and ubuntu distros??
[13:57] <n2diy> harlemdavvey: set that file permission to root only.
[13:58] <soreau> Baz__: I actually have a friend that wrote a graphical gtk2 theme editor, which can be found on gnome-look.org. It's called gtk-theme-mod and the guy that wrote it is Curs0r
[13:58] <n2diy> harlemdavvey: #ubuntu

[13:59] <lasivian> Does Linux consider a flash card any different than a hard drive?
[13:59] <henry__> hi guys
[14:00] <lasivian> I have an Acer Aspire One and I need to upgrade the SSD to a faster flash card, hence I need to image the nw flash card with the existing install
[14:00] <n2diy> lasivian: no
[14:00] <KRF> lasivian, not really. some different mount parameters
[14:00] <jrib> LetsGo67: don't know.  Poke around what the udev rules are for your camera if you're stuck
[14:00] <henry__> anybody there?
[14:00] <harlemdavvey> n2diy: you mean i have to write :    sudo chmod 700 /path/to/dir?
[14:00] <Baz__> soreau, i searched for it using the search tool but couldn't find it - any hints...
[14:00] <soreau> henry__: Nope
[14:00] <outbackwifi> !hi
[14:00] <soreau> Baz__: Ok, lemme get you the link stand by
[14:01] <lasivian> is tehre a tutorial on "ghosting" an ubuntu drive?
[14:01] <jrib> LetsGo67: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2008/06/22/%23xubuntu.txt that's you asking the same question 7 months ago :)
[14:01] <henry__> may anybody help me with a ubuntu problem like "cannot open display default display message error and/or  with NX nomachine???
[14:01] <scientes> apache isnt sending the cert
[14:01] <scientes> only using the private key
[14:02] <n2diy> harlemdavvey: yes, that is one way to do it.
[14:02] <soreau> Baz__: I see, the gnome-look search sucks . This is with no guarantee, if it works for you have fun http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/gtkThemeMod?content=72854
[14:02] <harlemdavvey> n2diy: what about the 000 version?

[14:02] <zorobot> how can I install ntfsprogs in edgy? i have tried, but failed. Do i really need to get hardy first?
[14:02] <n2diy> harlemdavvey: then nobody could use it.
[14:02] <Baz__> soreau, cool thanks
[14:03] <henry__> no u dont have to (zorobot)
[14:03] <jrib> zorobot: you need to upgrade anyway since edgy isn't supported
[14:03] <harlemdavvey> n2diy: but it works great for my needs, because i  can only enter it by being sudo
[14:03] <harlemdavvey> n2diy: and that is great:)
[14:03] <henry__> version 6.10 works with ntfsprogs
[14:03] <sky_> how i can fix problem with dark themes ? i dont understand the admin post : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=839649
[14:04] <zorobot> yeah, but this is my only running OS now. I have 2 OS, 1 crashed, and i think i will try to fix using ntfsprogs first
[14:04] <henry__> may anybody help me with a ubuntu problem like "cannot open display default display message error and/or  with NX nomachine???
[14:04] <zorobot> once the other OS is OK, i will upgrade this OS

[14:04] <bjbum> anyone have experience with getting mice to work? up until i restarted this morning my mouse had been working fine. upon boot it was no longer working. I checked the xinput and it appears to be detected, but moving and clicking the mouse does nothing on the system
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> henry__: have you installed xorg ?
[14:04] <zorobot> henry__: how could I get ntfsprogs manually? It is not listed in apps list
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> bjbum: run dmesg | less see what it says
[14:05] <henry__> ActionParsnip_: yep i did
[14:05] <harlemdavvey> n2diy: i have no problems n2diy, i just wanted to create a safe directory, and this is great for my needs. none can access it except me:)
[14:05] <cybershock> How can I fix the brightness of my screen fading when I am user my laptop on battery power?

[14:05] <harlemdavvey> guys how can you change icon sets on gnome??
[14:05] <LetsGo67> jrib: but did I get an answer?
[14:05] <jrib> LetsGo67: no
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> hentry
[14:05] <lasivian> outbackwifi: yes, thanks
[14:06] <henry__> zorobot_ sorry  maybe i misunderstood ... what's the program for?
[14:06] <michaelyao> harlemdavvey, try using a theme change?
[14:06] <fosco__> harlemdavvey: system - preferences - appearance - personal - icons
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> henry__: try: sudo rmmod usbcore
[14:06] <michaelyao> harlemdavvey listen to fosco
[14:06] <marw> i'm trying to install ubuntu, but it cannot see linux partitoins on the disk. any thoughts?
[14:06] <jrib> LetsGo67: I was just remarking that you had the problem for a long time
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> henry__: then sudo modprobe usbcore
[14:06] <zorobot> henry__: to check ntfs partition from errors?
[14:06] <n2diy> harlemdavvey: ok, I don't understand how you can play with the file, if nobody has permission to use it? Unless your running as root, which is a bad idea.
[14:06] <henry__> thank you...but what does that command do?
[14:06] <michaelyao> marw, have you partitioned the disk in windows beforehand?
[14:06] <Enissay> from where can i download some alert sounds please?
[14:06] <harlemdavvey> fosco: i have no "personal" and "icons"
[14:06] <Baz__> if i wanted to replace the words "places" and "system" with custom icons, what theme would that be in?
[14:06] <Baz__> on my panel that is
[14:07] <zorobot> i am not sure, i think it is packaged in hardy
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> marw: if this is the first install, it wont as you will have no partitions on the drive, they need creating
[14:07] <henry__> zorobot_ so sorry i definitely misunderstood u request
[14:07] <michaelyao> baz_ a theme is a complet change in everything
[14:07] <michaelyao> so if you just wanna change place and system
[14:07] <michaelyao> go to
[14:07] <marw> yes, winxp is on the disk, with slackware on linuxt partition (wanna remove slack)
[14:07] <michaelyao> system - preferences - appearance - personal - icons
[14:07] <zorobot> henry__: or even gutsy: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/ntfsprogs
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> henry__: removes all usb modules then reinserts them
[14:07] <harlemdavvey> fosco: i'm on "icons" but i don't know what to do because i have not a "install new icon set" button..
[14:07] <Baz__> michaelyao, aha
[14:07] <LetsGo67> jrib: yet the instructions I got were "use gThumb or F-Spot", but the problem is, I don't and can't use them.
[14:07] <zorobot> henry__: ok
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> henry__: please type and tab complete names in here
[14:08] <jrib> LetsGo67: right
[14:08] <jrib> LetsGo67: wait, you can't access the pictures at all?
[14:08] <michaelyao> btw, deviant art is a great place for themes everyone
[14:08] <michaelyao> wonderfull artists there, most are free
[14:08] <marw> ActionParsnip: yes, winxp is on the disk, with slackware on linux partition (wanna remove slack)
[14:08] <LetsGo67> jrib: only in Vista, as a USB storage device.
[14:09] <Baz__> michaelyao, i can't seem to specify my own icons there?
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> marw: then delete the slackware partitions and then tell ubuntu to use the free space
[14:09] <jrib> LetsGo67: I found some page claiming digikam worked with it.  Does that work?
[14:09] <bjbum> ActionParsnip, I ran dmesg | less. not sure what I do with this now
[14:09] <zorobot> how to install some_file.deb in ubuntu?
[14:09] <harlemdavvey> guys is there any way to install a package of icons? because i don't know where to put the icons sets i download from the net..
[14:09] <LetsGo67> jrib: it has something to do with the library, I think...
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> bjbum: use cursors to scroll up and down and you can see what your system did as it booted (inc detect mouse)
[14:10] <outbackwifi> harlemdavvey: one way is to extract them and copy them into /usr/share/icons
[14:10] <marw> ActionParsnip: i can't format and re-use linux partitions?
[14:10] <LetsGo67> jrib: anyway, g2g, ttyl
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> zorobot: sudo dpkg -i file.deb
[14:10] <michaelyao> sorry Baz, do you have the images somewhere on the harddrive already?
[14:10] <harlemdavvey> outbackwifi: you mean extracting the icons in a new folder or the icons themselves?
[14:10] <zorobot> dependency not satisfiable error. Can I force dependency to be installed automatically?
[14:10] <quibbler> harlemdavvey, system>perferences>apperances click install
[14:10] <Baz__> michaelwoo, not really but i could find an image for testing no problem
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> marw: yeah if you want, just use advanced disk setup and simply mark the partitions for formatting
[14:10] <Baz__> michaelyao, not really but i could find an image for testing no problem
[14:10] <outbackwifi> harlemdavvey: i would extract them into a new directory that clearly identifies that icon set
[14:10] <henry__> ActionParsnip_: still doesnt works
[14:11] <outbackwifi> harlemdavvey: this then shows up in the preferences menu
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> zorobot: try sudo apt-get install /path/to/debfile.deb; sudo apt-get -f install
[14:11] <marw> ActionParsnip: ok, thank you for the answers. bye!
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> zorobot: if you install .deb files yourself you wil have to satisfy deps yourself (either via apt-get or with more debs)
[14:12] <joaospinto> guys, i am having a problem: i uninstalled the network manager earlier today (since i need to have static ip and it automatically changes it do dhcp) and since then deluge does not open. what can i do?
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> henry__: have you tried unplugging then plugging it back in then reading dmesg | tail
[14:12] <joaospinto> (the tray icon does not appear but the process does and keeps eating +-50% of CPU)
[14:13] <ActionParsnip> joaospinto: you can set static ip in /etc/network/interfaces file
[14:13] <joaospinto> yeah, i did that
[14:13] <joaospinto> sucecssfully, now the problem is with deluge
[14:13] <ActionParsnip> !info deluge

[14:17] <outbackwifi> !info ntfsprogs
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> joaospinto: I dont use deluge dude, you could try renaming its config files so you get fresh ones and can reconfigure but i dont know if that would affect your standing files
[14:17] <zorobot> ActionParsnip: I´m trying ntfsprogs 1.12 for dapper, my version is edgy
[14:17] <harlemdavvey> oubackwifi: no.. it doesn't work

[14:18] <joaospinto> how could i kill the process?

[14:18] <ActionParsnip> zorobot: sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs
[14:18] <joaospinto> or must i reboot...
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> joaospinto: ps -ef | grep deluge
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> joaospinto: linux is designed to minimise reboots
[14:18] <harlemdavvey> outbackwifi: yes..
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> zorobot: its on the repos
[14:19] <joaospinto> i know
[14:19] <zorobot> ActionParsnip: i am using very old version of ubuntu, this is the error: sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs

[14:19] <nnull> guys im getting hardlocks and when i look at system log viewer i see every few minutes its getting spammed 4 lines long "handle_irq() : handle_bad_irq()" etc etc messages???
[14:19] <zorobot> ActionParsnip: sorry, this is the error: Package ntfsprogs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[14:19] <zorobot> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[14:19] <zorobot> is only available from another source
[14:19] <joaospinto> thanks, bye

[14:22] <jxander> soreau: i tried replacing fglrx with radeon in xorg.conf, but i wasn't able to enter console, i barely managed to change it back after an init 3...
[14:22] <soreau> jxander: You cannot have fglrx installed in any way or else the open drivers wont work
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> zorobot: do you mean like a chkdsk?
[14:23] <soreau> jxander: If you load a live Intrepid cd, direct rendering should be working without any further configuration
[14:23] <zorobot> ActionParsnip: Yes!
[14:23] <henry__> ActionParsnip_: unfortunately nothing new  in that guide
[14:23] <hikenboot> hello all I have built a chroot ssh setup for a use called XY when trying to log in using ssh XY@localhost i get Permission denied, please try again any ideas
[14:23] <jxander> soreau: so, should i check for the package in synaptic and remove the fglrx?
[14:23] <Bodsda> How can i check what window manager im using?
[14:23] <soreau> jxander: If you would like to try radeon, yes
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> zorobot: you could boot to a hardy / intrepid cd and install ntfsprogs to the live environment
[14:24] <jjlee> seems that the only thing that knows about /etc/crypttab is some grubby shell scripts added by debian (shell scripts are always grubby)
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> zorobot: i'd strongly suggest an upgrade to your install if yuo can
[14:24] <dabear_> anyone, how do I change ctrl+t, +v,+c etc to use my command (or meta key) on my mac?
[14:24] <zorobot> ActionParsnip: unfortunately i dont have cd rom or thumbdrive
[14:24] <bjbum> ActionParsnip, ok. I've been using the mouse fine with ubuntu for the past year or so. Just today it stopped working when I booted up :( I'll search again
[14:24] <Baz__> is beryl the *competition* to compiz? if i download a beryl theme am i disabling or interfering with compiz?
[14:24] <dabear_> keyboard shortcuts under preferences did not work
[14:24] <dabear_> it didn't list those settings at all
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> bjbum: did you perfoem any updates? does it work under an older kernel?
[14:25] <jxander> soreau: :) yeah... i kinda had a problem with video playback, like it wasn't fast enough, broken frames... maybe open source drivers will do better... :) thanks for your help soreau!
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> dabear_: you could map the ctrl key to meta key so they are identical
[14:25] <scientes> how do i set apache ServerName?
[14:25] <soreau> jxander: Just remember for the open drivers, you should be using the xv video method for your player and use exa rendering method
[14:25] <deany> scientes: /etc/apache2/apache.conf  in there
[14:26] <dabear_> ActionParsnip, sure, but then again, I'm not sure I want that
[14:26] <jxander> soreau: cool, will remember that!
[14:26] <scientes> i typed ServerName $FQHN in main <virtualhost>
[14:26] <soreau> jxander: If you get stuck and need further help with getting open drivers working, you can visit #radeon or even #compiz-fusion
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> dabear_: you'd just gain an extra shift key
[14:26] <Baz__> dabear_ i know how to do it for the "windows" or "super" key... is that the same for oyu?
[14:26] <scientes> or do i have to name my virtualhost
[14:27] <deany> scientes: apache.conf  add ServerName whatever on a new line anywhere... save
[14:27] <Baz__> dabear_, what does that key do now?
[14:27] <deany> name to me is the machine name..  thats all i do anyways
[14:27] <scientes> didnt work
[14:27] <outbackwifi> harlemdavvey: the Desktop is inside your home. and your home is inside /home/
[14:27] <deany> whats the problem?
[14:27] <scientes> oh wait, needed to beout side virtualhost
[14:27] <bjbum> ActionParsnip, i remember doing an update to CUPS a day or two ago I think. Not sure if that would interfere with my mouse. I can't remember the last time I updated the kernel though. Is there a way to check when you last upgraded the kernel?
[14:28] <dabear_> Baz_, It currently does nothing, however, I want to have two different meanings for cmd+c(copy text) and ctrl+c(  quit running app in terminal)
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> bjbum: not sure dude, try booting to an older kernel just to test
[14:29] <Cyber_Hades> eny ?
[14:29] <dabear_> Baz_, seems like it is recognized by gnome as super
[14:30] <zorobot> ActionParsnip: sure, but if possible i want to run chkdsk without installing new OS. This is my only working OS now, ntfsprogs will be used to fix my other OS partition
[14:30] <Cyber_Hades> hi 4 all i am new in Linux.
[14:30] <outbackwifi> !hi | Cyber_Hades
[14:30] <Cyber_Hades> Thnak.
[14:30]  * Aurax is back.
[14:31] <zorobot> ActionParsnip: I will upgrade to latest ubuntu after the other OS is working. No cdrom/flashdisk makes new installation a bit difficult.
[14:31] <Cyber_Hades> This Linux system is so good ;)
[14:31] <mbishi> hi there am new in linux...
[14:31] <radioman{LT}> hey
[14:31] <Cyber_Hades> hey
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> zorobot: true, id use usb and install from minimal iso (10mb for 64bit)
[14:32] <Cyber_Hades> Can eny say me waht is Apache ?
[14:33] <sheep> Cyber_Hades: apache is a web server
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> yay
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> !apache | Cyber_Hades
[14:33] <quibbler> harlemdavvey, type gconf-editor in terminal open apps - nautilus - preferences and untick desktop is home dir
[14:33] <portz> Trying to run Diablo II, but it freezes after the second intro video. Any suggestions? I'm on Intrepid with an nVidia Geforce 8400GS.
[14:33] <soreau> ! wine
[14:34] <portz> I already have wine. How else would I be running it?
[14:34] <Cyber_Hades> I must learn install and configuring Apache, Thanks for informations !
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> portz: you may need some extra config for wine for D2, check the winedb and it will detail it for you
[14:34] <portz> Alright then. Back in a few.
[14:35] <BiTL> hi all

[14:36] <Claire2009> HELP! i need to know how to mount a read only media DVD-ROM drive to read ntfs backup dvd-rs
[14:36] <ezerhoden> Dark: is it partitioned?
[14:36] <Claire2009> I gotta watch Zoey 101!!
[14:36] <drpc> tERROR 22 : NO SUCH PARTITION
[14:36] <Dark> ezerhoden: no it is not
[14:36] <Baz__> dabear_, have u tried looking in keyboard >> layouts >> other options?
[14:36] <drpc>  ERROR 22 : NO SUCH PARTITION
[14:36] <drpc> can anyone help me
[14:36] <g0th> hi
[14:37] <soreau> drpc: What is giving you that message?
[14:37] <kurrata> hi, i was wondering if its posible to do something like this. when i open files in location /home/zzz/yy1 it uses 1 program to open files but when im in location /home/zzz/yy2 it uses other program to open same file type?
[14:37] <lasivian> is there any way to see what programs/processes are writing to the HD?
[14:37] <jmspeex> Any reports of catastrophic failure so far wrt to the patch that prevents trashing of the disks? My HD currently does 15 load/unload cycles per *minute* if I don't do anything
[14:37] <Dark> ezerhoden: I do have two hard drives and one has XP and the other has Ubuntu
[14:37] <outbackwifi> Claire2009: just pop the DVD into the drive and it should show up on the desktop
[14:37] <rencx> hello i have fixed skype problem i need fix my Wireles card
[14:37] <g0th> I am trying to install ubuntu 8.10 on a pc. the installation cd starts and I get the following error message after a while (several of them):
[14:37] <n8tuser> Claire2009-> is it auto mounted now?
[14:37] <g0th> buffer I/O error on device sr0
[14:37] <ezerhoden> Dark: i don't know. did you try cfdisk to look at it?
[14:37] <g0th> how can I install ubuntu?
[14:37] <Claire2009> g0th - i think so. not sure. how do i find out?
[14:38] <jrib> kurrata: I imagine you could write a wrapper and associate the filetype with that wrapper.  Inside the wrapper, you check the location and open the file with the appropriate program
[14:38] <drpc> I copied my partition and later I installer the grub of a live cd
[14:38] <Baz__> dabear_, there's an eerie option labelled "swap keycodes of two keys when mac keyboards are misdetected by kernel" which i know is not your case but its damn close
[14:38] <Dark> ezerhoden: no, I just look at the properties
[14:38] <outbackwifi> g0th: your cdrom has an error
[14:38] <n8tuser> g0th-> you seemed to have a bad burned cdrom or your cdrom drive is heating up a bit,  let it cool down
[14:38] <Claire2009> outbackwifi - it doesn't read ntfs dv-drs i burnt when i had my old winXP laptop
[14:38] <g0th> my cd is fine
[14:38] <g0th> I double checked
[14:38] <g0th> it is the 4th burned cd
[14:38] <g0th> I burned with speed 1
[14:38] <rencx> I have Gigabyte wireles card in may hardware but how i can use it on Ubuntu..?
[14:38] <outbackwifi> Claire2009: what version of ubuntu do you have
[14:38] <drpc> so when I gonna starting up the grub says me ERROR 22 : NO SUCH PARTITION
[14:38] <g0th> I checked at the end and it is ok
[14:38] <n8tuser> g0th-> then let it cool down for a few
[14:38] <soreau> kurrata: In theory, you could write a script that detects which directory the file is in and run different applications so you just point those files types to your script to do the sorting.. but that would be more of a #bash thing if you don't know how to bash script
[14:39] <Claire2009> outbackwifi - 8.04 LTS
[14:39] <g0th> I already let it cool down
[14:39] <g0th> it is not the heat
[14:39] <g0th> it has something to do with the kernel I think
[14:39] <outbackwifi> Claire2009: can you do CLI?
[14:39] <n8tuser> g0th -> you are not going to get far, thats a drive error,
[14:39] <portz> g0th: Get a new image and try again?
[14:39] <Claire2009> outbackwifi - what's CLI?
[14:39] <outbackwifi> Claire2009: type sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom in a terminal
[14:39] <g0th> n8tuser: what can I do?
[14:40] <outbackwifi> Claire2009: Command Line Interface
[14:40] <rgnr> help http://paste.ubuntu.com/106452/
[14:40] <g0th> portz: I already downloaded it a 2nd time
[14:40] <g0th> and did a md5sum check
[14:40] <n8tuser> g0th -> my suggestion is to let it cool down for 30 minutes
[14:40] <kurrata> soreau:  jrib ok, thanks for the answer.
[14:40] <outbackwifi> g0th: your drive is prolly bad
[14:40] <g0th> n8tuser: I already had the problem yesterday
[14:40] <g0th> tody is the same
[14:40] <g0th> the drive works perfectly on windows
[14:40] <tsuna27> sometimes ubuntu freezes up and all i can move is the mouse what can I do to fix that
[14:41] <n8tuser> tsuna27 -> are you using wifi?
[14:41] <Dark> g0th: are you sure  your burning it correctly?
[14:41] <g0th> yes
[14:41] <outbackwifi> tsuna27: press ctl+alt+backspace to restart X server

[14:41] <rgnr> where's desktop visual effects in xubuntu?
[14:41] <rencx> I have Gigabyte wireles card in may hardware but how i can use it on Ubuntu..?
[14:41] <Claire2009> outbackwifi - i can do CLI. i tried dev/scd1 /media/scd1 - which i believe is the mount point for my dvd-rom - says no mount point exists
[14:41] <lasivian> I need something like "top" but showing what is being written to the HD, and chance of that?
[14:42] <n8tuser> lonel -> you need to connect to a database?
[14:42] <lonel> n8tuser: so i need to download it asa seperate jar file
[14:42] <lonel> ?
[14:42] <drpc> can anyone help me
[14:42] <outbackwifi> Claire2009: create a mountpoint by sudoo mkdir /media/scd1
[14:42] <drpc> ?
[14:42] <drpc>  ERROR 22 : NO SUCH PARTITION
[14:42] <lonel> n8tuser: yeah to LDAP exactly
[14:42] <tsuna27> n8tuser: yes
[14:42] <g0th> I now burned it with toast titanium on a mac. I select iso image burned at speed 1 and did a check at the end
[14:42] <outbackwifi> !repeat | drpc
[14:42] <henry__> NX NOMACHINE problem ...any expert here?
[14:42] <Claire2009> outbackwifi - k. did that
[14:42] <n8tuser> lonel -> maybe, i dont remember if its embedded with tomcat, but i assume it is now, you can do a search on tomcats directories
[14:42] <rencx> [16:28:33] Westhardus-Andris Berzins: varu iedot to ko vakar sataisīju 3.v
[14:42] <outbackwifi> Claire2009: now run the mount command
[14:42] <lonel> n8tuser: i see,i will look into it
[14:43] <rencx> I have Gigabyte wireles card in may hardware but how i can use it on Ubuntu..?
[14:43] <outbackwifi> rencx: is that card listed on the hcl?
[14:43] <outbackwifi> !hcl | rencx
[14:43] <g0th> anyone? the problem seems to be a common one, what kind of boot parameters can I try? I already tried all_generic_ide=1 noapic, and some more
[14:43] <Claire2009> outbackwifi - do i need disc in drive first?
[14:43] <outbackwifi> Claire2009: yes of course :) what else would you mount?
[14:44] <n8tuser> tsuna27 -> i find ubuntu flaky on that basis, wifi, if the wifi attempts to switch to another AP and fails, or the interrupt does not servie it correctly, the whole system freezes, even a cdrom drive i/o error causes this
[14:44] <doctorow> Where can I find a list of laptops that are known to work well with Intrepid (including power-manager, dock support, graphics card, etc?)
[14:44] <Claire2009> outbackwifi - inserts disc now. trying mount command
[14:44] <rgnr> cmon ppl
[14:44] <outbackwifi> !hcl| doctorow
[14:44] <Bodsda> How can i check what window manager im using?
[14:44] <g0th> or what do I need to select in the bios?
[14:44] <rgnr> where r visual effects in xubuntu?
[14:44] <outbackwifi> rgnr: as in #xubuntu
[14:44] <g0th> or is there another way to install ubuntu besides booting from cd?
[14:45] <Claire2009> outbackwifi - reading disc now.
[14:45] <soreau> drpc: I asked you what gives you that message, but you did not respond to me. In order to do that, type the nick of the person that you're responding to and then your message so they will be notified in the format nick: <message> like I am doing for you
[14:45] <jcapinc> a lot of ubuntu's wifi problems stem from the fact that Wifi drivers are closed source, they cannot improve the drivers
[14:45] <outbackwifi> g0th: you can install via usb
[14:45] <g0th> how do I do that?
[14:45] <outbackwifi> !usb
[14:45] <Claire2009> outbackwifi - what happens now after mounting?
[14:45] <outbackwifi> Claire2009: did you get any error messages?
[14:45] <deany> copyin files from disc and then wanting to delete em later, i have to run sudo rm , as they are read only, even for the folder that belongs to me.. anyway to change this?
[14:45] <Baz__> has anyone adjusted their firefox to search from the address bar by playing with keyword.url setting?
[14:45] <rencx> no
[14:45] <n8tuser> !who | drpc
[14:45] <Claire2009> outbackwifi - below mount command the cursor flashes in terminal now.
[14:46] <soreau> n8tuser: Thanks ;)
[14:46] <lasivian> Is there any way to stop Ubuntu from oening a window when new media in inserted?
[14:46] <outbackwifi> Claire2009: it should return back to the $ prompt
[14:46] <jcapinc> Baz__ no but if firefox does not recognize a keyword in the awsome bar, it automatically searches it
[14:46] <Claire2009> outbackwifi - k. does that take time sometimes?
[14:46] <n8tuser> g0th -> do you have an existing linux base installed?
[14:46] <outbackwifi> Claire2009: nope
[14:47] <Baz__> jcapinc, it does an "i'm feeling lucky" i think
[14:47] <outbackwifi> Claire2009: open another terminal and type dmesg and see if there are any error messages
[14:47] <outbackwifi> lasivian: yes
[14:47] <Lostchild> Can anyone help me determine why my display takes so long to wake up? Suspend is not enabled, various drivers same result.
[14:47] <jcapinc> Baz__ nope, if you type in like a sentance it just searches :).  but if you say type in "cyanide and happiness", it recognizes that as a keyword and takes you directly to the site, it works intelligently
[14:48] <n8tuser> lasivian -> yes,  gksuo gconf-editor  and drill down to apps/nautilus or volume manager perhaps to look for registry to disable auto opening of a window when you mount a drive
[14:48] <Claire2009> outbackwifi - mentions something about and I/O error
[14:48] <g0th> n8tuser: I don't have an existing linux installation
[14:48] <outbackwifi> Claire2009: that means that the dvd or the drive is gone
[14:48] <rencx> outbackwifi: I have card like this for deistign http://www.ma-1.lv/ftp/images/Net_wireless/Gigabyte/40380_GN-WI01GT_260x426.jpg
[14:48] <n8tuser> g0th -> use wubi temporarily and then migrate over?  just a thought
[14:48] <lasivian> thanks
[14:48] <Bodsda> How can i check what window manager im using?
[14:48] <outbackwifi> Claire2009: to isolate try reading the DVD in another pc
[14:48] <g0th> wubi?
[14:49] <Bodsda> !wubi | g0th
[14:49] <Claire2009> outbackwifi - well it gave me something in terminal saying 'mounting ready-only
[14:49] <Baz__> jcapinc, i'd prefer it just searches, i never want it to go to a site
[14:49] <outbackwifi> Claire2009: did it come back to the $ prompt?
[14:49] <g0th> it will install ubuntu on a different partition?
[14:49] <Claire2009> outbackwifi - not yet.
[14:49] <Baz__> jcapinc, i feel guilty if i visit any site without first telling google about it - i don't want to mess up their tracking software :)
[14:49] <jcapinc> Baz__ all you have to do to search is press F6 then TAB and you are in the search window!
[14:50] <Claire2009> outbackwifi - i remember this dvd-rom drive being slow in winXP on this machine before i installed ubuntu
[14:50] <lasivian> gksuo

[14:50] <jcapinc> Baz__ Lol! I am a web developer!  Google doesnt care!  they are not traffic cops!
[14:50] <drpc>  <soreau> do you know anything  about my problem
[14:50] <drpc> ?
[14:51] <soreau> drpc: What is giving you this message?
[14:51] <Lostchild> I'm using hardy, my display takes anywhere from 30sec to 5 min to wake up, suspend is not enabled no obvious errors appear in any logs. Please help.
[14:51] <g0th> so why do I get this strange sr0 error messages?
[14:51] <Claire2009> outbackwifi - would you recommend i buy a newer dvd-rom?
[14:51] <jcapinc> is everyone here using XChat?
[14:51] <drpc>  What is giving you this message?
[14:51] <Baz__> i am
[14:51] <drpc> I don´t know
[14:51] <drpc> ?
[14:51] <giganto> hi guys, does anyone know where pidgin stores received files?
[14:51] <g0th> "buffer I/O error on device sr0"
[14:51] <outbackwifi> Claire2009: sure, if those DVDs are ok. also are you able to mount other CD/DVD on this drive?
[14:52] <soreau> drpc: Then no one can help you
[14:52]  * outbackwifi is on chatzilla
[14:52] <Claire2009> outbackwifi - no problem. it plays dvd movies too, but my ram sucks. only 384mb
[14:52] <lasivian> Actually, I just found it under preferences, file management, Media for those interested
[14:52] <Claire2009> outbackwifi - using this $45 900mhz AMD duron compaq presario
[14:52] <outbackwifi> Claire2009: wow

[14:53] <Bodsda> ooops sorry
[14:53] <outbackwifi> lasivian: tx
[14:53] <Bodsda> How can i check what window manager im using?
[14:53] <Claire2009> outbackwifi - i guessing i'm pretty old school.
[14:53] <Lostchild> Bodsda what are you looking for exactly?
[14:53] <drpc>  I copied my partition and later I installer the grub of a live cd
[14:53] <outbackwifi> Claire2009: you should prolly use fluxbox as your WM then
[14:53] <drpc> so when I gonna starting up the grub says me ERROR 22 : NO SUCH PARTITION
[14:53] <Claire2009> outbackwifi - what's fluxbox?
[14:53] <Bodsda> Lostchild, im looking for a way to check what window manager im using
[14:54] <Jack_Sparrow> Bodsda, cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager
[14:54] <Claire2009> outbackwifi - also what's WM?
[14:54] <sheep> Bodsda: what desktop environment are you using?
[14:54] <sheep> Claire2009: a window manager
[14:54] <soreau> drpc: Well then, that's what is giving you the message
[14:54] <outbackwifi> Claire2009: window manager like Gnome, KDE etc
[14:54] <Bodsda> Jack_Sparrow, Thanks :)
[14:54] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[14:54] <sheep> display manager != window manager
[14:54] <Bodsda> Jack_Sparrow, hhmm, that says 'gdm'
[14:55] <drpc> when I selected the starting up partition
[14:55] <Jack_Sparrow> Bodsda, So you are using gnoe
[14:55] <Jack_Sparrow> gnome
[14:55] <Lostchild> Bodsda your probably using gnome
[14:55] <chazco> Hi... does anyone know where the Ubuntu startup noise is saved?
[14:55] <Claire2009> outbackwifi - oh. well, i find ubuntu 8.04 works well for what i need it to do. i have a 20gb HD and 10gb hd. just finding i wish i could access my dvd-r achrives but i'm eventually going to use this machine as a work machine
[14:55] <Bodsda> Jack_Sparrow, yes, gnome desktop environment -- but what WM?
[14:55] <Claire2009> outbackwifi - cuz evolution rocks
[14:55] <sky_> How to conver audio from flv video via ffmpeg ?
[14:55] <giganto> hi all, does anyone here knows where pidgin stores received files by default?
[14:55] <Claire2009> outbackwifi - for now though, this is my only computer
[14:55] <sheep> Bodsda: do you have visual effects enabled?
[14:55] <Lostchild> Bodsda your probably using metacity if your haven't configured compiz

[15:04] <outbackwifi> !fr| totone
[15:05] <outbackwifi> Cyber_Hades: general way is to connect to internet, connect to office VPN and then use Terminal Server client to connect to Office Desktop
[15:05] <outbackwifi> Cyber_Hades: you can also use VNC
[15:07] <Cyber_Hades> yes.. but i don't know how conect to ofice VPN ????

[15:07] <outbackwifi> Cyber_Hades: http://www.pcmech.com/article/remote-windows-xp-desktop-on-ubuntu-linux-how-to/
[15:07] <Cyber_Hades> ok thanks for help
[15:07] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[15:07] <outbackwifi> Cyber_Hades: that probably means that your office does not want you to connect to your desktop from home :)
[15:09] <Cyber_Hades> no ! i am not trying to hack or something... i am new in Linux
[15:09] <chazco> Hi... how can I backup mysql databases on Ubuntu? Need to reinstall to disable the startup sound, but dont want to lose them

[15:14]  * Aurax is away: Gone away for now
[15:16] <harlemdavvey> guys i'm not able to modify the settings of my system administration configuration
[15:16] <harlemdavvey> permission is denied to me whenever i try to access one of the system administration tools
[15:16] <harlemdavvey> just like synaptic
[15:17] <ninfa-cd> --------------------------
[15:17] <harlemdavvey> and i cannot edit my privileges in users and groups privilegese because i have not permission to enter those datas..
[15:17] <jrib> harlemdavvey: you said before you didn't want these privileges
[15:17] <harlemdavvey> jrib: i've done what was told me to do here
[15:18] <harlemdavvey> jrib: i've unchecked "administer the system"
[15:18] <harlemdavvey> and this is the result.. i'm not able to know the sudo pass xD
[15:18] <jrib> harlemdavvey: because you said you didn't want this user to be an administrator anymore
[15:18] <harlemdavvey> yes exactly
[15:18] <jrib> harlemdavvey: so I don't see what the problem is
[15:19] <sanya777> ауу
[15:19] <harlemdavvey> jrib: i had the power to change my privileges before doing this..
[15:19] <jrib> harlemdavvey: and now you don't, which is what you said you wanted.  What has changed?
[15:19] <harlemdavvey> now i cannot enter the system configuration tools neither because i'm not sudo.. evidentely something was wrong..
[15:20] <jrib> harlemdavvey: I asked you if you had another user who was an administrator and you said yes, use that user
[15:20] <harlemdavvey> jrib: if i write on the terminal the sudo command it's like if i don't know the sudo password.. why?
[15:20] <jrib> harlemdavvey: because that's what it means to not be an administrator.
[15:20] <Nadal80> goodevening
[15:21] <harlemdavvey> jrib: wait.. it's telling me about the sudoers file.. what's that?
[15:21] <jrib> harlemdavvey: doesn't matter.  Explain what you want to do now
[15:21] <harlemdavvey> jrib: i wanted to be administrator but i didn't want the Sudo function be always active in the terminal
[15:21] <jrib> harlemdavvey: ok.  Login as your other user that is administrator and give this user administrator rights again
[15:22] <harlemdavvey> jrib: i just want to be able to enter a password in the terminall .. every password i had, is not the right one now..
[15:22] <harlemdavvey> jrib: this is what i would like to do, but how can i do?
[15:22] <jrib> harlemdavvey: ok.  Login as your other user that is administrator and give this user administrator rights again
[15:22] <tigreton> hi
[15:22] <harlemdavvey> jrib: can i give a user specific privileges by terminal command?
[15:23] <Cyber_Hades> Ok i have problem and i am going to crazy ! I have wireless inetnet ! and i do not have my unique IP adress. How i can connect to my computer from another ??
[15:23] <jrib> harlemdavvey: I can't help you if you just keep asking questions without doing what I ask :/
[15:23] <harlemdavvey> i'm here as adaministrator
[15:23] <jrib> harlemdavvey: ok.  Did does the user in question now have administrator rights again?
[15:23] <jrib> !who | harlemdavvey
[15:24] <Cyber_Hades> Ok i have problem and i am going to crazy ! I have wireless internet ! and i do not have my unique IP adress. How i can connect to my computer from another ??
[15:24] <harlemdavvey> jrib: now it doesn't
[15:24] <jrib> harlemdavvey: ok.   I have 3 partitions: 1) Win XP 2) Ubuntu 8.10 and 3) Win7.. When I installed Win7 it obviously overwrote grub.. I booted the Ubuntu 8.04 CD, mounted the linux partition and tried to "grub-install", but kept getting an error that it couldn't write.. anyone any idea?
[15:25] <sukiminna> hmm

[15:30] <temppy> zorobot: you should consider upgrading.  That version is out of support I think...
[15:30] <chucknorris> Arrr, is there a free Parallels like software for Ubuntu? If not, something cheap?
[15:31] <arussel> Cyber_Hades: hmmmm
[15:31] <jrib> harlemdavvey: reboot, choose "recovery mode" from the grub menu, get a root shell, run 'sudo adduser harlemdavvey admin', reboot
[15:31] <Cyber_Hades> :)

[15:37] <zorobot> temppy: thanks
[15:37] <ScottG489> My ubuntu laptop seems to just stop working a lot when I logout then in, or restart X. It freezes at the screen which is what is displayed when I press ctrl + alt + F8

[15:38] <xcode> hi
[15:38] <xcode> i need some help here
[15:38] <ortsvorsteher> just ask xcode
[15:38] <jim_p> do i gain something if i install a -server kernel?
[15:38] <xcode> i dont know how to use emule here
[15:38] <xcode> and iam a beginner
[15:38] <xcode> still
[15:39] <xcode> and i need a a good p2p
[15:39] <ortsvorsteher> !enter | xcode
[15:39] <dhalsimm> hi, i got some probems in eric IDE's code completion
[15:39] <xcode> is there anything else like emule or or better and easier
[15:39] <guille> hola?
[15:39] <xcode> ?
[15:40] <qdb> hello
[15:40] <ortsvorsteher> !es
[15:40] <wet> xcode, torrent
[15:40] <guille> there are any spanish server??
[15:40] <qdb> http://ru.php.net/manual/en/apc.configuration.php
[15:40] <xcode> i know
[15:40] <harlemdavvey> jrib: hey ok i think it worked
[15:40] <jrib> harlemdavvey: ok, now what do you want to do/
[15:40] <jim_p> !es
[15:40] <wet> torrent is better than emule now.
[15:40] <nono1> What video editing software for ubuntu ? avidemux crash a lot for some reason on mine
[15:40] <xcode> but i need a p2p like ares and limewire and
[15:40] <xcode> all that
[15:40] <qdb> "you should copy the apc.php script that comes with the extension to somewhere in your docroot"
[15:41] <harlemdavvey> jrib: i just want to avoid that the "sudo" remains active when i use the terminal
[15:41] <qdb> it is not in ubuntu?
[15:41] <jim_p> nono1, kino maybe. depends on what you mean by editing
[15:41] <harlemdavvey> jrib: i would like to have always to retype "sudo" when i want to execute an administration command in terminal
[15:41] <whuffor> xcode: If you need an app for the E2DK network then amule may be something for you.
[15:41] <xcode> okay good
[15:42] <guille> hola
[15:42] <xcode> i dont know how to make it work
[15:42] <guille> español?
[15:42] <ortsvorsteher> !es | guille
[15:42] <nono1> I was appending jpg images into a avi file
[15:42] <jrib> harlemdavvey: give an example where that is currently not the case
[15:43] <harlemdavvey> jrib: i don't know but it's just a privacy need, nothing different
[15:44] <jrib> harlemdavvey: that should be what happens by default, so I need you to give me an example where that isn't happening
[15:45] <harlemdavvey> jrib: i've probably changed something some time ago
[15:45] <harlemdavvey> or a friend of mine changed something about the sudo
[15:45] <jrib> harlemdavvey: just give me an example of a command you run that doesn't require sude
[15:45] <jrib> gsudo
[15:45] <Guest63632> alguien sabe c++ y español
[15:45] <harlemdavvey> netstat -na? xD
[15:45] <xcode> didnt get much help here
[15:46] <harlemdavvey> jrib: finger -l
[15:46] <exodus_m1> xcode: what do you need help with ?
[15:46] <harlemdavvey> jrib: lsusb
[15:46] <jrib> harlemdavvey: those commands don't require sudo
[15:47] <harlemdavvey> jrib: isn't it what you just asked me?
[15:47] <jrib> harlemdavvey: you said you were running commands that require sudo without sudo didn't you/
[15:47] <KandK> could somebody please help me with a Sound Juicer problem?
[15:47] <harlemdavvey> jrib: yes
[15:48] <harlemdavvey> jrib: but for exemple nautilus
[15:48] <MOUD> Hey all
[15:48] <jrib> harlemdavvey: again, nautilus isn't doing anythig administrative to require sudo
[15:48] <ortsvorsteher> !somebody | KandK
[15:48] <temppy> harlemdavvey: I think your question is unclear.  You first asked about _administrative_ commands.  Neither nautilus nor lsusb are administrative commands
[15:48] <tweak> you know when you start ubuntu how there's the ubuntu logo and the loading bar? what is that called?
[15:48] <harlemdavvey> if i type sudo quite often, in the end, i can use nautilus as sudo without the sudo command and it is strange xD
[15:49] <jrib> harlemdavvey: do you mean you can use 'sudo nautilus' and not need a password?
[15:49] <MOUD> Anyone knows a good visual C++ software for linux?
[15:49] <harlemdavvey> yes
[15:49] <harlemdavvey> jrib: yes
[15:49] <harlemdavvey> jrib: i would like to have to digit the password every time
[15:49] <KandK> I am having trouble ripping CDs made from iTunes
[15:49] <jrib> harlemdavvey: that's different.  By default the sudo password is cached for 15 minutes.  Is that what you want to disable?
[15:50] <harlemdavvey> jrib: yes that's it
[15:50] <harlemdavvey> jrib: where can i edit this time? for exemple to edit from 15 minutes to 2 for exemple..
[15:50] <jrib> harlemdavvey: man sudoers, see the timestamp_timeout section
[15:50] <ThipThip> Can anybody comment generally on the quality of Intrepid AMD64?  I ran Gutsy AMD64 and I ended up switching to 32-bit because it seemed too buggy.  However, now, I have just upgraded to a Phenom Quad-core with 8GB RAM, and I'm thinking about trying 64-bit again.
[15:50] <tweak> you know when you start ubuntu how there's the ubuntu logo and the loading bar? what is that called? usplash? splash?
[15:51] <KandK> "Sound Juicer could not extract this CD. Reason: Could not open resource for reading. Reason: Error starting ripping pipeline" comes up when I try to rip some CDs, how do I fix it?
[15:51] <zorobot> ThipThip: I just preparing to install Intrepid AMD64 o.o
[15:51] <ThipThip> zorobot: Well, we'll be there for each other :-)
[15:52] <dhalsimm> I can't get any sound from applications if there is a working flash in firefox or mpd. is it only me?
[15:52] <harlemdavvey> ok but i can edit this by terminal? i'm not finding that part of the man..
[15:52] <ezerhoden> harlemdavvey: you know that you can reboot and still have su permissions, if the time has not expired
[15:52] <zorobot> ThipThip: I am now still in Edgy, no support anymore :( ... so I will install Intrepid soon...
[15:52] <jrib> harlemdavvey: sudo visudo
[15:53] <tweak> intrepid is nicer by far than windows 7
[15:53] <jrib> harlemdavvey: you add it to the end of the Defaults line at the top after a comma.
[15:53] <S7UMPY> git a quick question. iv been using ubuntu for about 3 years now, and iv liked the gnome interface thus far, but kde 4 has me thinking of switching. which is better, gnome or kde?
[15:54] <tom_eats_lives> tweak,  like comparing apples and oranges
[15:54] <jim_p> !module-assistant
[15:54] <jrib> S7UMPY: try both and decide for yourself.  You can install it on your current install and select at the login screen
[15:54] <jrib> !kde4 | S7UMPY
[15:54] <ezerhoden> S7UMPY: hmm, peperoni or mushrooms on my pizza ?
[15:54] <harlemdavvey> jrib: done, how can i save?
[15:54] <jrib> harlemdavvey: depends on your editor
[15:55] <S7UMPY> i like both on my pizza. lol
[15:55] <tigreton> bye
[15:55] <harlemdavvey> jrib: i have visudo and it tells me nothing about how to save
[15:55] <ezerhoden> S7UMPY: always an option then
[15:55] <jrib> harlemdavvey: pastebin what you see in your terminal
[15:55] <harlemdavvey> jrib: i have some command shown but i don't know how to save.. there is EXIT, JUSTIFY, ..
[15:55] <jrib> harlemdavvey: ctrl
[15:56] <jrib> harlemdavvey: ctrl-o ctrl-x
[15:56] <S7UMPY> anyone using the new kde? if so how is it in comparison to gnome?
[15:56] <harlemdavvey> ok
[15:56] <arussel> S7UMPY: made me give up KDE
[15:56] <harlemdavvey> jrib: with ctrl-o and then enter..
[15:56] <comicinker1> hi! my buttons for "close" etc. of the windows are on the left side (I tried mac4lin once). how can put them back on the right side?

[15:57] <MOUD> ok, sorry

It's a very basic one, with two buttons, and the cable is one of those old ones with a lot of spikes, you know, a bit like a printer cable only smaller.

[16:19] <Roger_> Gnea: ??? do explain??
[16:20] <stefg> Roger_: that would require some automagical sending of a dhcp request by your server
[16:20] <Gnea> Roger_: you have to use NetworkManager to set a static IP, then set it to 'system setting'
[16:20] <arussel> Rss123: did it get mounted ?
[16:20] <Guest37757> nightrid3r, any suggestions
[16:20] <Guest37757> temppy, any suggestions

[16:25] <JonathanEllis> Hi. Can anyone recommend a browser for ubuntu that doesnt completely lock up all tabs and windows whenever it meets a problem in a web-page? Yes I'm waiting for Google Chrome but I am getting fed up of Firefox and need to find something to tide me over till Google get their act together
[16:25] <deany> i like to use clonezilla to do complete ..

[16:27] <LorgonJortle> JonathanEllis: You might have better luck with that.
[16:27] <Guest37757> temppy, that's why im importing the remaining harddrive space

[16:27] <Gigacore> hello guys.. how to upgrade kde 4.2 RC?
[16:27] <temppy> Guest37757: so you want to delete the windows partition?  and use the space for linux?
[16:28] <Roger_> Gnea: i do believe something within the ubuntu-desktop metapackage is causing my networking to default to a dhcp ip. i just cant figure out what . . .
[16:28] <Guest37757> so is it neccessary to backup my harddrive on thr linux side
[16:28] <JonathanEllis> LorgonJortle: Thanks. Maybe I should ask in #firefox for suggestions as well.
[16:28] <Gnea> Roger_: okay, do you see anythng in syslog when the ip gets changed?
[16:28] <Pentex> I am brazilian

[16:28] <Roger_> Gnea: i am sorry, but I must go. thank you for your help tho.
[16:28] <LorgonJortle> jopn: sounds like it. FF doesn't usually just "lockup"
[16:29] <Guest37757> temppy, so is it neccessary to ackup my linux system
[16:29] <deany> I had problems with FF 2.xx locking my whole OS up 100%.. ya know what fixed it.. installed fglrx drivers
[16:29] <temppy> Guest37757: maybe you are looking for a partition, resizer, like gparted
[16:29] <deany> that was earlier ubuntu`s tho
[16:29] <jopn> i know i had a problem like that and it was an add on
[16:29] <deany> FF3 was never a problem..
[16:29] <LorgonJortle> deany: what are the gflrx drivers for?
[16:29] <w0ng> i've had lock ups in firefox.. it was due to Flash + ATI drivers (e.g. when youtubing with other tabs open)
[16:29] <Guest37757> yes i have that already in fact there is 2 of them qtparted and gparted
[16:29] <minghags> LorgonJortle: any clue? or anyone else?

[16:30] <mark454> is DRI2 available yet?
[16:30] <minghags> ...
[16:30] <deany> my lockups didnt need me to do anythng in FF.. just have it run for like 30-90 seconds.. bam.
[16:30] <andronicus> can ubuntu 8.10 mount a ufs partition?
[16:30] <temppy> Guest37757: yeah, I don't know
[16:30] <Guest37757> temppy, so do i need to backup my linux side
[16:31] <temppy> Guest37757: I don't see why you can't just resize the partitions
[16:31] <JonathanEllis> Matic: Can you explain please? It happens when I open certain webpages, particularly carelessly written pages intended for Internet Explorer or with I guess carelessly written javascript or java apps in them and then all instances of Firefox grey out in all tabs and I lose control of Firefox for a while. All other apps are ok though so I am confused why that would be an ubuntu problem rather than a Firefox problem
[16:31] <crunchbang> i am trying to install a persistent crunchbang to a usb drive
[16:31] <Guest37757> i can just worried about backing up my linux side

[16:32] <jopn> did you format your usb ?

[16:33] <S7UMPY> JonathanEllis: open your home folder. and "hold ctrl, then press h" to show your hidden files. delete the mozilla file.
[16:33] <deany> Guest37757:  clonezilla.org    go have a look
[16:33] <temppy> ticked: is that your wifi card?  is it working?
[16:34] <JonathanEllis> S7UMPY: What will that do and how will it relieve the problem? What is that file for?

[16:35] <crunchbang> how do i detect an usb drive in crunchbang?
[16:35] <JonathanEllis> Guest37757: In that case partimage is ideal. You will probably need to unmount the linux partition before you can back it up. So in that case you would need to run it from a livecd
