[12:46] <petcube> or a program
[12:46] <shayan> dear all I have a problem logging in my gnome system, I'm typing this from another computer, it's keyboard language is wrong and I can't fix it. anybody have any idea?
 i think if you go to /etc/X11/xorg.conf there will be a line in that called Driver: try changin it to fglrx
[12:47] <stefg> Blade_Wizard_Fal: Hmm.... i think your package manager might be confused. I'd save the firefox profile and completely purge all firefox-packages and then reinstall them. you might have some obscure meta-package that pullt firefox 2 in
[12:48] <shayan> any body helping?
[12:48] <petcube> is there a tool i can use to monitor the total throughput of my bandwidth?
[12:49] <psypher246> hi all, has anyone gotten the new intrepid feuture "create usb startup disk" to work. all mine seems to do after i choose the iso and usb disk is say "starting up" should i just forget about it wait till they make it work right and use unetbootin instead?
[12:49] <buntoaster> linny: gnome is working good now but i cant run little games and such .
[12:49] <Blade_Wizard_Fal> stefg: just did that, now, i get this error when trying to open firefox: Failed to execute child process "firefox" (No such file or directory)
[12:50] <linny> burntoaster what graphics card do you have ?
[12:50] <stefg> Blade_Wizard_Fal: sudo apt-get install --reinstall firefox should give you a working firefox 3...
[12:51] <buntoaster> linny: a cheap PNY 8500gt (nvidia) 256mb ram ddr2
[12:51] <stefg> Blade_Wizard_Fal: and make sure that the firefox-2 metapackage isn't installed
[12:51] <petcube> is there a tool i can use to monitor the total throughput of my bandwidth?
 1 sec let me see
[12:52] <buntoaster> linny my system is a shuttle SN27p2 with brisbane 2.1 gig duel core processor 1 gig ram
[12:52] <lianimator> any program to create vector animation?
[12:52] <Blade_Wizard_Fal> stefg: got this error:
[12:52] <Blade_Wizard_Fal> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[12:52] <Blade_Wizard_Fal> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[12:52] <stefg> Blade_Wizard_Fal: close synaptic... only one package mnager at a time please
[12:52] <KRF> lianimator, inkscape
[12:52] <psypher246> lianimator: i was looking at thast a while ago dto do free flash animations, there are some stuff out there just google it
[12:53] <Blade_Wizard_Fal> ok
[12:53] <psypher246> KRF: does inkskape do animation?
[12:53] <lianimator> KRF: downloading inkscape right now, it has animation? cool
[12:53] <Adam_M> Hello, trying to install 8.04 on Parallels on OS X and having screen resolution issues.  I've put a custom xorg.conf in place.  The login screen displays well, up to full-screen size.  But once logged in, the display shows scan lines all over the place as though the sync frequency is off.  Can anyone help?
 and the reccomended drivers dont work ?
[12:53] <gnubie> shayan;  have you tried System > Preferences > Keyboard layouts?
[12:54] <shayan> gnubie, I can't login in X
[12:54] <Blade_Wizard_Fal> stefg: still no good
[12:54] <AzizLight> hi everybody
[12:54] <stefg> Blade_Wizard_Fal: so what's the error message
[12:55] <moDumass> hey does anyone know how to add 1440x900@60 to my xorg.conf, becuase i have added it but my machine doesnt recognise it
[12:55] <psypher246> inkskape is awesome but not sure if it does animation
[12:55] <Blade_Wizard_Fal> no, i mean it says it installed it, but i still get the "Failed to execute child process "firefox" (No such file or directory)" error when i try to open it
[12:55] <marc-andre> hiho
[12:55] <marc-andre> how can i see in the console where to a file is linked
[12:55] <jrib> !x > moDumass
[12:55] <jrib> marc-andre: readlink
[12:55] <buntoaster> linny: There is a proprietary driver available. so i assume there is not one installed. i am scared to try to use it. reely scared.
[12:55] <Psi-Jack> Curious question, is there an ATI utility for linux that can overclock the X1600? ;)
[12:55] <jrib> marc-andre: or: ls -l
[12:55] <AzizLight> I have a little...concern: I will install kubuntu on a seperate partition and I will use the same home folder as ubuntu. The thing is, if I do that kubuntu is going to use the same config files as ubuntu, the ones that are in my home folder, right?
[12:56] <naamloos> is there a 8051 programming interface in ubuntu
 yea use that one it should work fine
[12:56] <jrib> AzizLight: yes, but why are you doing that?  Why not just install the kubuntu-desktop package on your ubuntu insntall?
[12:56] <lxu> does anyone know why the alxamixer always back to mute on recording tab, even set it on?
[12:56] <buntoaster> linny: so enable it?
[12:56] <marc-andre> jrib: that i know, i'm looking for the other way around, i linked a file, but don't know anymore where the symlink is
[12:57] <naamloos> lxu: do alsaconfig en tryagain
 yes then reboot
[12:57] <jrib> marc-andre: you are looking for symlinks that link to a file?  You can't... other than searching your filesystem
[12:57] <marc-andre> :(
[12:57] <AzizLight> jrib: I already did that, there are some minor conflicts, nothing important, and I want to try a clean kde install without anything in it
[12:57] <lxu> naamloos: how to do that?
[12:57] <recon69> anyone know why I would have a eth0:avahi network device ?
[12:57] <buntoaster> linny: ok i will click enable. If i am not back you know it epicly failed lol
[12:58] <linny> lol it will be fine
[12:58] <buntoaster> brb
[12:58] <moDumass> thanks, yeh um, ive posted my xorg.conf file if anyone can see my error please point it out..http://pastebin.com/m7dca28c8
[12:58] <stefg> Blade_Wizard_Fal: i'd try 'sudo apt-get remove --purge firefox* && sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0' ... that will do a complete reinstallation of firefox 3. To make sure there is no zombie process of firefox spoiling everything log out and back in afterwards and try again
[12:58] <jrib> AzizLight: create a new user to see if it's your user's config's fault
[12:58] <naamloos> lxu: do sudo alsaconfig in terminal
[12:58] <AzizLight> jrib: the thing is: I do want to share my home folder but I'de rather not share my config files accross the two installs
[12:59] <Psi-Jack> AzizLight: KDE doesn't share it's config with Gnome.
[12:59] <buntoaster> linny: its downloading files i am scared and no one here to hold me lol
[12:59] <lxu> naamloos: it said command not found.
 lmao
[13:00] <stefg> Blade_Wizard_Fal: and to make sure to download the packages again do a 'sudop apt-get clean' before to flush the package cache
[13:00] <stefg> Blade_Wizard_Fal: and to make sure to download the packages again do a'sudo apt-get clean'
[13:00] <AzizLight> Psi-Jack: wait so when I will install kubuntu and create my new user I will have my gnome user folder and my kde user folder and they won't share anything basically (unless the two users have the same name in which case everything is going to be overwritter). Am I wrong?
[13:00] <Blade_Wizard_Fal> stefg: ok, wierd. It removes Firefox (or says it does) but then when it attempts to install it, it says its already the newest version (implying its already there....) CONFUSED!!
[13:00] <Psi-Jack> AzizLight: KDE and Gnome do /not/ share configuration files. Period.
[13:01] <ardchoille> AzizLight: you can have gnome and kde installed on the same box and use the same home dir, they write configs to different folders
[13:01] <Psi-Jack> AzizLight: KDE uses .kde and Gnome uses .gnome
[13:01] <marcel> hi
[13:02] <stefg> Blade_Wizard_Fal: did you do anything unusual with the system? ... 3rd party repos for swiftfox or other stupid things?
[13:02] <Psi-Jack> AzizLight: The only thing they share, is not because of KDE nor Gnome, but because of Ubuntu's package management system, is the menus.
[13:02] <AzizLight> Psi-Jack: I'm talking about the user config files, like .bashrc etc
[13:02] <Psi-Jack> AzizLight: KDE nor Gnome use .bashrc. bash does.
[13:02] <naamloos> lxu: i see that its not inplemented in 8.10 anymore
[13:02] <Blade_Wizard_Fal> i had swift fox a while back, but got rid of it...
[13:02] <ardchoille> AzizLight: kde and gnome can co-exist in the same home dir without problems :)
[13:03] <stefg> Blade_Wizard_Fal: check your sources.list ...
[13:03] <Blade_Wizard_Fal> how?
[13:03] <lxu> naamloos: what to do now? do you know hot to fix it, please?
[13:04] <stefg> Blade_Wizard_Fal: 'Software Sources' in the 'System-Admin' menu.
[13:04] <AzizLight> Psi-Jack, ardchoille : ok thanks a lot, going to install kubuntu now :)
[13:04] <puneeth> MAYDAY... i have packages on update manager which says that they cannot be updated... what should i do?
[13:04] <ardchoille> AzizLight: you have ubuntu on that machine now?
[13:04] <moDumass> jrib, yeh thatnks, um, i know what xorg.conf is, mines broken
[13:05] <jrib> moDumass: the link ubottu gave you includes documentation for adding resolutions to your xorg.conf
[13:05] <djbeenie> hey guys..anyone know the plugin that docs at the bottom...looks like a doc?
[13:05] <Blade_Wizard_Fal> stefg: ok, and what am i looking for here?
[13:05] <stefg> Blade_Wizard_Fal: or pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list to !pastebin to lez me have a look
[13:05] <AzizLight> ardchoille: well im connected on my mac atm but I do have ubuntu on my desptop which is like 45 degres to the left
[13:05] <moDumass> jrib, yep, im saying thanks, its those docs that have me posting the question i did
[13:06] <stefg> Blade_Wizard_Fal: 3rd party repos for swiftfox
[13:06] <ardchoille> AzizLight: if you want kde on that ubuntu machine, it's as easy as: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[13:06] <Blade_Wizard_Fal> stefg: none
[13:06] <stefg> !sources
[13:06] <kristian_> i have ubuntu-desktop 8.10 + all updates. after a reboot/or whenever i switch my computer on, i have to manually login on the computer, i can't ssh to it, before i have logged in and then logged out again. the reason being it doesn't connect to wlan before manual login, is there a way to make it connect to added wireless on startup? i've tried editing the wireless, but it simply won't remember my settings, i read a bit on the inet and fou
[13:07] <AzizLight> ardchoille: you're the third person to give me that advice ;) I already did that yesterday, but now I want a clean KDE install and in the end I might even completely replace gnome by kde (on the next *buntu release probably)
[13:08] <puneeth> correction,  i have packages on update manager which says that they cannot be authenticated... what should i do?
[13:08] <ardchoille> AzizLight: Ah, ok
[13:08] <AzizLight> ardchoille: thanks for the advice tho :)
[13:08] <ardchoille> yw :)
[13:09] <stefg> Blade_Wizard_Fal: back up your sources.list, and use a
[13:09] <puneeth> AzizLight, Gnome is lesser intense on your CPU, but KDE is awesome...
[13:09] <puneeth> correction,  i have packages on update manager which says that they cannot be authenticated... what should i do?
[13:09] <puneeth> correction,  i have packages on update manager which says that they cannot be authenticated... what should i do?
[13:09] <stefg> Blade_Wizard_Fal: back up your sources.list, and use default one , read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto?action=show&redirect=AptGetHowto and uninstall/reinstall firfox once again
[13:10] <Blade_Wizard_Fal> stefg: would love to read that, but firefox wont open...given the error i now get after trying to re0install..
[13:10] <stefg> Blade_Wizard_Fal: looks like to repositories are fighting for control over your firefox packages, or your dpkg-database is corrupt
[13:10] <Try_Hard_Go_Pro> hi guys can u help me a little with skype in dsl?
[13:11] <moDumass> im off, jrib, everyone thanks thus far, il look over it again in the morning, noob eyes i guess
[13:11] <ardchoille> Blade_Wizard_Fal: Can you pastebin your sources.list? I'm curious now
[13:11] <stefg> Blade_Wizard_Fal: sudo apt-get install epiphany-browser will give you a browser
 ask your question if we can we will help

[13:16] <serengeti> hi, is it possible to have one screen working at 1024x768 and another at 1280x1024? I've plugged an external lcd to my laptop but the correct resolution doesn't show up in monitor res settings
[13:16] <jrib> goog: gnome switched to gvfs in 8.04 so I assume that may be why.  I don't have an ftp to test though
[13:17] <nnull> serengeti¬ yea, but im pretty sure the 2nd monitor gets frame buffered to 1280 (which shouldnt matter for what your using it for most probably)
[13:17] <PeskyJ> to install a mozilla plugin (flash 64-bit) I found stuff saying to put the library in ~/.mozilla/plugins, is there an equivalent directory for all users to get the plugin?
[13:17] <mnel> serengeti: I've done something similar, but it can depend on the kind of graphics card you have.
[13:17] <goog> jrib: just put "nautilus<EMAIL_ADDRESS>in your shell. what happens?
[13:17] <jrib> PeskyJ: ignore that.  Just install the flashplugin-nonfree package from the multiverse repository using your favorite package manager
[13:17] <serengeti> nnull, it probably wouldn't matter much
[13:17] <Blade_Wizard_Fal> ardchoille: i just posted to pastebin
[13:17] <mon^rch> what would be the proper syntax to recursively rename *.jpg to cover.jpg?
[13:18] <Blade_Wizard_Fal> stefg: i just posted my sources list to pastebin
[13:18] <_RadioHead> anyone can help me ? for samba?
[13:18] <nnull> serengeti¬ yea like i said for 90% of users they wont even notice i wouldn't think
[13:18] <jrib> goog: Could not display<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Error: No hostname specified Please select another viewer and try again.
[13:18] <WIGGMPk> PeskyJ: ubuntu-restricted-extras will prolly be useful too dont you think jrib? it includes flash
[13:18] <serengeti> mnel, it's an old radeon mobility (ati driver)
[13:18] <jrib> WIGGMPk: sure
[13:18] <stefg> Blade_Wizard_Fal: you need to give us the url
[13:18] <jrib> _RadioHead: best to just ask the channel your question.  If someone knows the answer, they will try to help you
[13:18] <_RadioHead> i want to install linux server and configure samba BUT shared folder need to be read and write BUT no delete even owner
[13:18] <Blade_Wizard_Fal> http://pastebin.com/me58ea9c
[13:18] <PeskyJ> jrib: I thionk I just uninstalled that, it's the 32-bit version and doesn't play nice in 64-bit firefox (mostly works but flickers a lot and some stuff doesn't work properly at all)
[13:18] <_RadioHead> jrib: thx man
[13:19] <stefg> !pastebin | Blade_Wizard_Fal
[13:19] <nnull> WIGGMPk¬ installing the adobe flash 10 deb was the only way ive been able to get flash working with 100% consistancy so far.
[13:19] <Blade_Wizard_Fal> sorry...been a long night
[13:19] <goog> jrib: you really typed "nautilus<EMAIL_ADDRESS>?
[13:19] <mnel> serengeti: are you using the commercial or open source driver?
[13:19] <jrib> goog: yes...
[13:19] <serengeti> mnel, open source
[13:19] <ghaleb> hello, I'm using ubuntu, I noticed unexplained traffic, using iptraf I saw my port is 32835 but I can't find it on netstat to determine which process uses this port, any help ?
[13:19] <goog> jrib: because thats yet ANOTHER error messages that i never saw on any machine. which ubuntu version?
[13:19] <WIGGMPk> nnull: i have never had a problem installing/using the one distributed with "ubuntu-restricted-extras" or just using "flashplugin-nonfree" by itself
[13:19] <PeskyJ> jrib: WIGGMPk I want to try the 64-bit alpha to see if it gets on better
[13:19] <jrib> goog: ah no.  I copied what you pasted which had a typo.  Let me try again
[13:20] <_RadioHead> jrib: any solution? or best to use ftp? as upload/get and edit files?
[13:20] <nnull> WIGGMPk¬ do you use compiz?
[13:20] <WIGGMPk> nnull: since Fiesty Fawn
[13:20] <goog> EVERYBODY with ubuntu 8.04 or 8.10: Could you please try "nautilus<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and tell me the result? Thanks.
[13:20] <WIGGMPk> nnull: running Intrepid Ibex now amd64 build.. never had a problem
[13:20] <goog> Is there somebody with ubuntu 8.04 or 8.10 here? Could you please try "nautilus<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and tell me the result? Thanks.
[13:20] <jrib> goog: when I do 'nautilus<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Could not display<EMAIL_ADDRESS>because the host could not be found. Check that the spelling is correct and that your proxy settings are correct.
[13:21] <WIGGMPk> nnull: flash is a fickle thing though.. I see many complain about it, and many not having a problem.
[13:21] <nnull> WIGGMPk¬ ahh, well i found on 8.04.1 with flashnon-free it would sometimes be fussy on javascript fullscreen applets, and not load them properly
[13:21] <mnel> sergenti: hrm, that might be tougher.  It's been a while since I've had an ATI card in my linux box.  There's some instructions for the commercial driver here: http://www.linuxine.com/2008/06/how-to-enable-dual-monitors-with-ati-diplay-card-in-linux.html
[13:21] <stefg> Blade_Wizard_Fal: the sourceslist
[13:21] <Blade_Wizard_Fal> stefg: what about it?
[13:21] <stefg> Blade_Wizard_Fal: the sources.list is alright... just the usual repos
[13:21] <jrib> PeskyJ: uninstall flashplugin-nonfree and copy the libflashplayer.so to ~/.mozilla/plugins/ then
[13:22] <Blade_Wizard_Fal> stefg: ok....then now what?
[13:22] <jrib> _RadioHead: I don't know if you can set permissions on samba like that.  Try #samba
[13:22] <PeskyJ> nnull: WIGGMPk: my kids like to play club penguin a lot and my son was just actually crying because on this machine (64-bit) he can't play it properly - I don't want them to have bad experiences with a  free OS ;)
[13:22] <serengeti> mnel, thanks
[13:23] <WIGGMPk> goog: besides the GTK warning about my theme, i return the same result "...because the host could not be found." 8.10 amd64 here
[13:23] <mnel> serengeti: actually, have you seen this yet? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[13:23] <goog> WIGGMPk: ok, thanks.
[13:23] <_RadioHead> jrib: as i know no coz permissions works different on unix/like systems but thought any twik , i don`t want to tell them i can`t do this on linux  coz they already have windows server ...
[13:23] <WIGGMPk> PeskyJ: what flash did you have installed previously when they tried to play?
[13:24] <jrib> goog: if I do 'nautilus<EMAIL_ADDRESS>', I am prompted for a password
[13:24] <goog> jrib: aha!
[13:24] <brianherman> i just use the standard flash player
[13:24] <goog> jrib: so you cannot provide passwords via commandline anymore? hmmm...
[13:24] <stefg> Blade_Wizard_Fal: but since it is an upgraded system it might be a late consequence of some broken upgrade.... it's hard to tell what's wrong without access to your box. look in /usr/bin if there is a file 'firefox'
[13:24] <mnel> serengeti: actually, never mind, that doesn't actually say anything about setting up dual head.
[13:24] <serengeti> mnel, my card is a radeon m6 ly (something like radeon 7000) and it's not really supported by the newer drivers
[13:24] <PeskyJ> WIGGMPk: it was the one installed by the Add/Remove tool - after enabling the non-free repos
[13:24] <WIGGMPk> goog: i tried what jrib wrote and i get prompted for a pwd too
[13:25] <serengeti> mnel, thanks anyway ;)
[13:25] <goog> WIGGMPk,jrib: ok. in older versions of ubuntu it was possible to pass the username and password like i described. I wonder how its done nowadays.
[13:25] <WIGGMPk> PeskyJ: that is most likely the same..
[13:25] <bingungaja> i can't update my openoffice, help me pls, http://img53.imageshack.us/img53/3951/update1vd7.th.png and http://img604.imageshack.us/content.php?page=blogpost&files=img84/4370/update2ah0.png
[13:25] <jrib> goog: it's probably not implemented in gvfs yet.  Check for a bug
[13:26] <WIGGMPk> PeskyJ: try removing it and reinstalling it (but purge the config files) "sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-nonfree"
[13:26] <Hisham> Chao everyone!! What is my USB drive named when i plug it in /dev??
[13:26] <mnel> serengeti: yeah, I used to have an old radeon for a while in my htpc.  I eventually had to give up on it as the TV out mysteriously stopped working after an upgrade with no remedy.
[13:26] <Blade_Wizard_Fal> stefg: yes, there is a firefox file there...
[13:26] <jrib> PeskyJ: there are several.  You may not be using flashplugin-nonfree at all...
[13:26] <goog> jrib: damn, so is there a way to revert back to an old version of nautilus?
[13:27] <stefg> Blade_Wizard_Fal: so when you explicitly run /usr/bin/firefox from a terminal?
[13:27] <jrib> goog: no.  My guess is it's not nautilus anyway but gvfs
[13:27] <PeskyJ> jrib: when I right-clicked in it and did "about flash player 10" it would go to the adobe site.. does that mean it was the non-free version?
[13:27] <jrib> PeskyJ: yes
[13:27] <goog> jrib: yes, but it worked with ubuntu 7. and now i have no way to access ftp servers anymore :(
[13:27] <kileymonster> Hi guys, just a little question, I have Windows on a seperate HD on my PC, I wanted to know if it was possible to boot in to this from say vmware or another program without actually rebooting my PC if that makes sence, not sure if its possible to do or not?
[13:28] <Blade_Wizard_Fal> stefg: "no such file or directory"
[13:28] <jrib> goog: file -> connect to server  or just input your password doesn't work?
[13:28] <bingungaja> i can't update my openoffice, help me pls, http://img53.imageshack.us/img53/3951/update1vd7.th.png and http://img604.imageshack.us/content.php?page=blogpost&files=img84/4370/update2ah0.png
[13:28] <balau> Hisham, I have it as another hard disk partition: /dev/sdc1. That's because I have already /dev/sda and /dev/sdb
[13:28] <serengeti> mnel, I actually got tv out to work on radeon 7500 with the open source driver and intrepid, had to use some xrandr command I don't remember at the moment ;)
[13:29] <Hisham> balau: hmmm.. But does it get any specific name as its a usb device??
[13:29] <stefg> Blade_Wizard_Fal: quite strange .... i suspect this is not a firefox problem, but might indicate some other problem in your system
[13:29] <djbeenie> anyone know of a good doc bar to install?
[13:29] <goog> jrib: might work but would be a shitload of work. since i use many servers. its all automated via shellscripts that do "nautilus ftp://user:pass@host"
[13:29] <vimix> djbeenie, try AWN
[13:30] <balau> Hisham, it automatically mounts itself on /media/disk, but apart from that the new device files are /dev/sdc for the entire disk and /dev/sdc1 for the FAT partition
[13:30] <mnel> serengeti: yeah, I screwed around with it for a while.  It was a really odd card.  It came out of an old gateway machine and the windows ATI drivers wouldn't recognize it because it was rebadged by gateway.

[13:37] <vinnie_> im currently running PCLinuxOS with a seperate partition for /home. Can I install crunchbang on another partition and mount the same home directory without damaging it?
[13:37] <Psi-Jack> crunchbang?

[13:38] <PeskyJ> well... results are in: Installing the 64-bit flash player does seem to improve things a little, however flash apps are sometimes still flickery
[13:38] <Paddy_EIRE> bingungaja, close your update manage or package manager if it is open.. then go to "System > Administration > Software Sources" then go to Third-Party repositories and add this line without quotes "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main"
[13:39] <tood> when i try to run dvd cd the cd room gives me cant mount
[13:39] <stefg> Blade_Wizard_Fal: yeah... i just looked on my system. it seems that the symlinks were not pointing right. there needs to be a symlink 'firefox' pointing to 'firefox-3.0' which in turn is a symlink to /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.4/firefox.sh ... adjust that and you should have a firefox 3 again
[13:39] <bingungaja> Paddy_EIRE: i try it first
[13:39] <PeskyJ> so should I just put it in all users' ~/.mozilla/plugins directory, ir is there somewhere global I can put it so that all users pick it up?
[13:39] <AzizLight> im installing kubuntu on top of ubuntu in a seperate partition at the moment. I was wondering, can I use the same swap partition or I have to create a new one?
[13:39] <ardchoille> Blade_Wizard_Fal: you're using proposed repos, that might be an issue
[13:39] <vinnie_> ok... let me refraze my question.... im currently running PCLinuxOS with a seperate partition for /home. Can I install ubuntu on another partition and mount the same home directory without damaging it?
[13:39] <Paddy_EIRE> bingungaja, I am grabbing a cup of tea..wont be long :)

[13:40] <tood> any one know the reson of this eror when i play dvd in my cd room Unable to mount media

[13:40] <stefg> Blade_Wizard_Fal: yeah... i just looked on my system. it seems that the symlinks were not pointing right. there needs to be a symlink 'firefox' pointing to 'firefox-3.0' which in turn is a symlink to /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.4/firefox.sh ... adjust that and you should have a firefox 3 again
[13:41] <jrib> l337ingDisorder: erm, did you really mean "thunderbird" there?
[13:41] <AzizLight> can I use the same swap partition for two linux distros that are on the same computer?

[13:41] <l337ingDisorder> jrib, yeah sorry meant firefox

[13:41] <afief> AzizLight, as long as you don't run them at the same time there should be no problem
[13:41] <stefg> Blade_Wizard_Fal: run sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser to make sure you have the right browser chosen
[13:41] <AzizLight> afief: ok thanks :)
[13:41] <afief> l337ingDisorder, did you try to restart firefox?
[13:42] <biotrox> yup azizlight, afief is right as long as u don't run them at the same time it'll be ok
[13:42] <l337ingDisorder> afief: many times

I have tried 3 different projectors so far and all of them work just fine since boot up to the point that the login screen appears.  After that I cannot make the projector work.  In screen resolution the button detect displays doesn't help :/  could someone tell me what I need to do so that the projector works properly? I have a presentation on Tuesday and I was hoping I
[13:53] <differentreality> could get my projector to work. Thank you very much.

[13:57] <afief> biotrox, for some people it is for others it isn't
[13:57] <biotrox> :P
[13:57] <biotrox> yikes
[13:57] <tood> so do u think that i should stick with it
[13:58] <tood> its too diffcult
[13:58] <Paddy_EIRE> !ot | TooAngel afief biotrox
[13:58] <bingungaja> Paddy_EIRE: here u go http://paste.ubuntu.com/84788/'
[13:58] <biotrox> suite yourself tood, i already being warned by paddy
[13:58] <bingungaja> Paddy_EIRE: here u go http://paste.ubuntu.com/84788/
[13:58] <vimix> djbeenie, try drag the package to the window
[13:58] <tood> ok thx man for ur help
[13:59] <whynot> have you heard of NTLDR is missing message?
[13:59] <l337ingDisorder> whynot: yep
[13:59] <goog> Im thinking about switching from Gnome to KDE. Do you think I should stay with Ubuntu or try a distro that comes with KDE natively?
[13:59] <djbeenie> vimix, nope :(
[13:59] <whynot> My question is about restoring clonezilla image.
[13:59] <biotrox> whynot, and what is NTLDR relate to ubuntu?
[13:59] <l337ingDisorder> whynot: it's most likely caused by creating a partition on the disk Windows is installed on, before the windows partition (so the windows partition, which would have been, say disk 1 partition 1, is now disk 1 partition 2)
[13:59] <tood> what is the meaning of this massege               Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'UDF Volume'.
[13:59] <vimix> djbeenie, sorry i just guessing, i never done it before :D
[14:00] <whynot> I'm using ubuntu&win2000 multi boot.
[14:00] <jrib> l337ingDisorder: your plugin is failing to install for some reason.  Run this in a terminal: sudo aptitude purge flashplugin-nonfree && sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree
[14:00] <l337ingDisorder> biotrox: the relation is that it's probably caused by the ubuntu installation
[14:00] <djbeenie> vimix, hehe cool thanks though
[14:00] <Paddy_EIRE> bingungaja, "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[14:00] <biotrox> tood the udf in vista version isn't supported by the linux kernell headers
[14:00] <tood> ohhhhhhhhh
[14:00] <bingungaja> Paddy_EIRE: ok
[14:00] <vimix> djbeenie, ur welcome
[14:00] <tood> now i get it
[14:00] <tood> thx so much man
[14:00] <jrib> goog: just mount ftp in some other way
[14:01] <whynot> I backed up my ubuntu/win2000 disk using clonezilla and I restored the image.  Grub is working, ubuntu too.  But win2000 gave me that message NTLDR is missing.
[14:01] <biotrox> tood. no problem
[14:01] <Frogging101> How do you make a network connection between 2 ubuntu computers with a crossover cable and have it work?
[14:01] <Paddy_EIRE> Frogging101, yes
[14:01] <Frogging101> yes?
[14:01] <biotrox> Froggin101 setup the IP in both ends
[14:01] <n8tuser> Frogging101-> make sure they both have an ip address at both ends
[14:02] <whynot> I know it's not ubuntu issue but I have nowhere to go to ask.
[14:02] <tood> biotrox  is ubuntu the best version of linux
[14:02] <PeskyJ> Frogging101: you'll need to set DHCP up on one of them, or give them static IPs on the same subnet
[14:02] <Paddy_EIRE> Frogging101, you wanna share your connection or network the computers with the crossover cable?
[14:02] <tood>  biotrox i mean thier is gentoo
[14:02] <bingungaja> Paddy_EIRE: it did download the openoffice, but without verification, is it safe ?
[14:02] <Frogging101> yes, just between two computers
[14:02] <Frogging101> how would I do this using intrepid?
[14:02] <Paddy_EIRE> bingungaja, yes
[14:02] <Jeruvy> whynot: you should probably elect to run your ERD on your windows partition.  First verify with grub that the partitions are ok.
[14:02] <tood> biotrox thier is many others whats the diffrence
[14:03] <whynot> l337ingDisorder/could you tell me what to do about it?
[14:03] <biotrox> Frogging101 edit the /etc/networks/interfaces on both and
[14:03] <biotrox> ends
[14:03] <bingungaja> Paddy_EIRE: actually what happened ? why can't it update with usual way ? (in a short explanation) curious hahaha
[14:03] <biotrox> tood if u wanna chat pv me
[14:03] <Paddy_EIRE> bingungaja, you must be coming from hardy
[14:03] <Paddy_EIRE> bingungaja, alas needing the dist-upgrade
[14:03] <Frogging101> Would I go to System -> Preferences -> Network Configuration?
[14:03] <goog> jrib: when i do "nautilus ftp://u:p@host" - does it "mount" the ftp directory? It sounds like a hassle to change all the scripts to "mount stuff.. start filebrowser... unmount stuff" scripts. isnt it easier just to use a filebrowser that supports ftp?
[14:04] <funbitz> hi. i just downloaded and installed ubuntu 8.10, and then the kubuntu-desktop package and runs really slow. the #kubuntu channel isn't helping. i have geforce 9400gt and version 177 of the nvidia acc drv activated.
[14:04] <Paddy_EIRE> bingungaja, Basically a package could be kept-back because it involves system changing results. In other words, it would modify other parts of the system. To do a "full update" use this command:
[14:04] <biotrox> Frogging101 yes u can do that also
[14:04] <whynot> Actually, I'm in ubuntu. when I check out the windows partition, NTLDR is there.  but I don't understand how come the message ntldr is missing
[14:04] <tood> biotrox how
[14:04] <Frogging101> biotrox: Would I click "Add"?
[14:04] <n8tuser> goog you can use wget or sftp for scripting
[14:05] <Paddy_EIRE> bingungaja, ok.. anything else?
[14:05] <bingungaja> Paddy_EIRE: what do u mean coming from hardy ? hmmm I'm not upgrading from hardy, i download the interprid, then reinstall my notebook ...
[14:05] <bingungaja> Paddy_EIRE: actually that's all, thx very much
[14:05] <goog> n8tuser: i only script the launch of nautilus. but that doesnt work anymore and the gnome people say they will probably not make it work in the future.
[14:05] <Paddy_EIRE> bingungaja, the other reason would be more likely then
[14:05] <Paddy_EIRE> :)
[14:05] <goog> n8tuser: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=520915
[14:06] <bingungaja> Paddy_EIRE: thx again
[14:06] <Frogging101> biotrox: What would I do in the network configuration box?
[14:06] <rhalff> what's the easiest way to make a .deb ? I mainly want to group dependencies in a package and edit/move some configuration files. I don't need any compiling at all.
[14:06] <Jeruvy> whynot, if the bootstrap cannot find the loader, then it fails.  Likely the partitions have different assignments in BIOS now and it's confused.  Without knowing how you backed up your images and restored them (not familiar with clonezilla, I prefer a decent image manager) I would suggest asking in a clonezilla support forum
[14:06] <Paddy_EIRE> bingungaja, any time mate :)
[14:06] <Edulix> hi! I've got an acer aspire one and I've followed the instructions in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne, and i get ath0 up, but it returns no scan results and it does't associate to my ap either. it's not working
[14:06] <n8tuser> goog-> seems unwise to me anyways to be using nautilus in a script, because it will then require user interaction
[14:06] <biotrox> Frogging101 just edit the auto eth0
[14:06] <biotrox> to match your setting in both ends
[14:07] <Frogging101> biotrox: What do I put for gateway?
[14:07] <whynot> Jeruvy/ I couldn't find out clonezilla forum.  Anyway I'll stop asking you about it.
[14:07] <Misterjos> !newsgroups
[14:07] <biotrox> Frogging101 just 2 computers right, no need for setting a gateway
[14:07] <goog> n8tuser: the script IS INTENDED to start user interaction. the script could be called "start nautilus at ftp://user:pass@somehost". so if a user wants to access the ftp server somehost, he starts the script.
[14:07] <jrib> goog: gvfs mounts it using fuse afaik, yes
[14:08] <jrib> goog: try it and look at ~/.gvfs/
[14:08] <Frogging101> biotrox: It won't let me leave the dialog box without a gateway
[14:08] <Jeruvy> whynot: its ok to ask, I just don't think anyone here can help.
[14:08] <biotrox> Frogging101 just type the IP of the 2nd computer
[14:09] <Frogging101> biotrox: Okay do I do that on both computers?
[14:09] <Jeruvy> whynot: maybe try the restore again, this time restore the windows partiton first and test.
[14:09] <whynot> jeruvy/It's too much complicated for me to solve out that problem.  I have no resort to rely on.
[14:09] <biotrox> yes Frogging101
[14:09] <l337ingDisorder> jrib: okay I think I've gotten somewhat to the bottom of this... Came up with the same results once more, so I did a 'ps aux | grep firefox' and there's a [firefox] <defunct> entry listed that I can't kill
[14:09] <Frogging101> biotrox: okay, sorry for being a total newb.
[14:09] <goog> jrib: still, changing all scripts to "mount server, start nautilus, unmount server" sounds ugly to me. also - how do i know where to mount it? the script are used from different machines. much easier to rely on the filemanager to hanfle ftp correctly.
[14:09] <l337ingDisorder> so I guess my next question is how do I kill a process that doesn't respond to kill -9 or kill -15 ?
[14:10] <biotrox> Frogging101 ok no problem
[14:10] <jrib> l337ingDisorder: ah
[14:10] <Frogging101> biotrox: I will tell you if it works
[14:10] <jrib> l337ingDisorder: but that does not explain why you have nothing in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/
[14:10] <whatever> moa
[14:10] <whynot> jeruby/what's the command to check the partition table in linux?  ls -l ?
[14:10] <biotrox> Frogging101 ok
[14:11] <PeskyJ> whynot: man fdisk
[14:11] <jrib> goog: you need to hack on gvfs/nautilus then
[14:11] <Frogging101> biotrox: What about DNS Servers and search domains, and routes?
[14:11] <Jeruvy> whynot: I use gparted,
[14:11] <whynot> nope.  I didn't make my question clear.
[14:11] <whynot> the command that list the whole devices ...
[14:11] <whatever999> can someone help me finding the script mount.cifs in the packages for Ubuntu Ibex 8.10?
[14:11] <whynot> ls isn't it?
[14:12] <l337ingDisorder> jrib: okay so in that case A) how do i kill an unkillable process? and B) what would the next step be to get flash working? it was working fine a week ago and I haven't installed any software, just updates from update-manager
[14:12] <recon69> whynot: lshw perhaps
[14:12] <jrib> goog: maybe it respects ~/.netrc
[14:12] <goog> goog: no, i dont want to hack. i just switch the clients to some sane distro that understands ftp URIs.
[14:12] <PeskyJ> whynot: you can see mounted drives with df
[14:12] <Frogging101> biotrox: What do I put in for DNS Servers, search domains, and routes?
[14:12] <zigovr3> hi all, in ubuntu 8.04, I have firefox that keeps crashing, has anyone experiences this ?
[14:12] <iminhell> What does it mean if i am only able to play a dvd by using this code "export DVDCSS_METHOD=title && mplayer dvd://"   .... anytime I try to play by using a GUI all I get is a garbled mess ....?
[14:12] <whynot> thanks peskyj
[14:13] <jrib> goog: it has nothing to do with the distro.  GNOME switched to gvfs and gvfs does not support that URI scheme
[14:13] <windmill> Why won't DVDs play for me in Totem in intrepid??     Anything I've missed?
[14:13] <tood> can any one help me how to log as root ????
[14:13] <biotrox> Frogging101 if u only want to share or connect ur network in ubuntu, u won't need to fill in the DNS, the routes ,and the gateway, search domain, leave it blank... that's why it's more convinient to edit the interfaces file instead
[14:13] <recon69> zigovr3: run firefox from the command line and get the optput when it crashes would help a lot
[14:13] <jrib> !root | tood
[14:13] <Frogging101> biotrox: okay
[14:13] <goog> jrib: yes. so goodbye gnome. thats why i asked how to switch to kde.
[14:13] <jrib> !kde > goog
[14:13] <goog> jrib: im open for other solutions as well.
[14:13] <whynot> Something wrong....Before the list was 1,2,5,6 but now 6 disappeared.
[14:13] <tood> oh thx very much
[14:14] <jrib> goog: see if it repects ~/.netrc
[14:14] <goog> jrib: yes, i know kubuntu. might give it a try.
[14:14] <goog> jrib: what do you mean with "see if it respects ~/.netrc" ?
[14:15] <jrib> goog: setup the password for some ftp in ~/.netrc and see if you are still prompted for a password
[14:16] <goog> jrib: i dont want to put passwords anywhere then in the data folder of the encrypted disk of our server. we have a "no data on the clients" way of thinking.
[14:17] <jrib> goog: I have no idea what your setup is, but can't you put it on the server and link to it?
[14:17] <whatever999> itś smbfs to get mount.cifs -.- very helpful page: http://packages.ubuntu.com
[14:17] <goog> jrib: yes. but thats all complicated.
[14:18] <goog> jrib: i like to have one simple script for each task and thats it. "browse the xyz ftp server"? "use xyz_ftp.sh". Simple. Thats how we work.
[14:18] <asc> Anybody finding that firefox refuses to load google? Other browsers work fine though.
[14:18] <martin_> How to find where is the file of groovy.jar?
[14:18] <wos> can anyone tell me what ports to open so that my samba will work with my firewall?
[14:18] <AzizLight> I have a question: Why does Kubuntu comes with OpenOffice preinstalled instead of Koffice????
[14:18] <LjL> goog, policies are policies, but just my two cents... what sense does it make to "protect" passwords in such complicated ways, when you're using a vulnerable protocol like FTP that anyone can just sniff into?
[14:19] <LjL> AzizLight: that's not really a support question, better discussed in #ubuntu-offtopic or #kubuntu-offtopic
[14:19] <mon^rch> what would be the proper syntax to recursively rename *.jpg to cover.jpg?
[14:19] <LjL> AzizLight: but in a nutshell - koffice is crashy
[14:19] <chiliblue> anyone use hellanzb here?
[14:19] <jrib> mon^rch: umm, what happens if there is more than one jpg in a directory?
[14:19] <LjL> mon^rch: you could use "find" and make it execute "mv"
[14:19] <goog> LjL: to keep things simple. one task, one script.
[14:19] <garrettk88> hey guys, how come flash player likes to make mozilla crash?
[14:19] <mon^rch> ummm
[14:19] <jrib> garrettk88: what ubuntu version?
[14:19] <garrettk88> 8.04
[14:20] <dano> Hey all Im trying to create a shortcut on my desktop to open gnome-terminal and run a command and leave the terminal open, it keeps closing after it runs the command, is there anyway to keep it open?
[14:20] <garrettk88> firefox* if that makes a difference
[14:20] <biotrox> Frogging101 try and read this for manually edit the interfaces file http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/
[14:20] <jrib> garrettk88: issue in 8.04.  Should go away if you upgrade to 8.10
[14:20] <AzizLight> LjL: ok I have a support question: how can I completely remove OpenOffice from my computer?
[14:20] <dano> Ive been using gnome-terminal -x uptime
[14:20] <wos> >:-0
[14:20] <whynot> pesky/ thanks again.  it was fdisk -l.  and everything seems to be ok.
[14:20] <garrettk88> jrib: can i update using the live cd or is there another way to do it?
[14:20] <AndreasMadrid> I need HELP!
[14:20] <jrib> !upgrade > garrettk88
[14:20] <garrettk88> thanks man
[14:21] <mon^rch> all my cover art got renamed from cover.jpg to ver.jpg
[14:21] <recon69> jrib: makes a joke of LTS
[14:21] <AndreasMadrid> my wireless card is no longer founf in iwconfig!!!
[14:21] <wos> can anyone tell me what ports to open so that my samba will work with my firewall?
[14:21] <biotrox> wos, open port 137 139 445
[14:21] <PeskyJ> jrib: FYI: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins worked in the end :) but confusing with both 'firefox' and 'mozilla' directories in /usr/lib and /usr/share, got the right one in the end though
[14:21] <LjL> AzizLight: well, unless apt-get's "autoremove" function works with packages installed straight by the CD installer, and i don't think it does, that won't be entirely trivial. but "dpkg -l | grep openoffice" should list a very large percentage of packages that are OOo related
[14:21] <biotrox> both ways
[14:22] <martin_> How to find groovy*.jar after install it by "sudo apt-get install groovy"?
[14:22] <recon69> AndreasMadrid: seef if "lshw -C networking" finds it
[14:22] <KRF> martin_, dpkg -L groovy
[14:22] <LjL> martin_: "dpkg -L packagename" will list all the contents of an installed package
[14:22] <PeskyJ> wos: not sure you should use samba to share files over a firewall though... you might want to look into using scp (over port 22) instead
[14:23] <recon69> AndreasMadrid:  "lshw -C network" maybe !
[14:23] <PeskyJ> wos: totally depends on your situation of course... just thought you should look into that as an alternative in case you're trying to go over an open network with it :)
[14:23] <martin_> OK, thanks
[14:23] <goog> Can I install KDE by doing "apt-get install kde" and then somehow change to KDE?
[14:24] <WIGGMPk> Im going to be installing Vista to my 2nd hard drive. I already have Intrepid Ibex installed on my primary hard drive. What steps do I need to take to preserve or restore GRUB as my boot loader?? website link? anything?
[14:24] <AzizLight> LjL: ok thanks. what's the equivalent of synaptic in kubuntu?
[14:24] <AndreasMadrid> recon69:  networking showed something and then it disappeared and there was the prompt again. network showed my card, yes
[14:24] <wos> peskyj im using a home network
[14:25] <LjL> mon^rch: how about - and i *strongly* recommend trying this stuff on a test directory first - you do something like: find -iname 'ver.jpg' -exec mv {} cover.jpg \;
[14:25] <wos> which is more secure from outside intruders? i dont care about inside people.
[14:25] <dano> Hey all, I am trying to create a shortcut to a terminal app on my desktop.  I have a launcher made with the command gnome-terminal -c command  and it runs the command and then closes the window instantly, is there a way to tell the terminal to stay open?
[14:25] <LjL> AzizLight: Adept
[14:25] <LjL> AzizLight: but i personally just use apt-get from the command line
[14:25] <biotrox> WIGGMPk it's better if u install windows first so the grub will take over the ntldr
[14:26] <LjL> !kde | goog
[14:26] <AzizLight> LjL: me too, but I think Adept might do a better job at removing openoffice, I might be wrong
[14:26] <WIGGMPk> biotrox: right, I already know that, but in my situation... Ubuntu is installed already and im not going to reinstall Windows than Ubuntu... lol
[14:26] <recon69> AndreasMadrid: well, means at least it being detected, check what driver it's using, then look at ifconfig to see if its there
[14:26] <LjL> AzizLight: you're wrong
[14:26] <LjL> AzizLight: Adept doesn't do anything that apt-get doesn't do. they use the same backend. the one program that might do things differently is aptitude.
[14:26] <biotrox> WIGGMPk stop using windows :P
[14:26] <PeskyJ> wos: is your firewall between your file server and your internal machines? you probably don't need it there but between your whole network and the outside world
[14:26] <wos> biotrox, that did not work :(
[14:27] <WIGGMPk> biotrox: i would if i could, i need it for the school software I have to use..
[14:27] <wdh> i (re)moved the /etc/apache2 directory because I want to reconfigure it. However, reinstalling the 'apache2' package (or a dpkg-reconfigure), does not seem to put a new /etc/apache2 directory into place. Any ideas on this?
[14:27] <recon69> AndreasMadrid: I mean check ifconfig to see if the interface is there for the card not the driver
[14:27] <AndreasMadrid> recon69 network says UNCLAIMED;
[14:27] <AndreasMadrid> ok
[14:27] <wos> PeskyJ,  the firewall is gufw. is that not for outside intruders?
[14:27] <goog> LjL: yes, but i thought i could just install kde and not a whole new distro.
[14:27] <iminhell> WIGGMPk:  http://apcmag.com/how_to_dualboot_vista_with_linux_linux_is_already_installed.htm  ... should take care of you
[14:27] <AndreasMadrid> recon69 ifconfig doesn't show it
[14:27] <whynot> wish me good luck.   I got a list of apps from the command you gave me earlier, I just pipe that to apt-get remove?
[14:28] <LjL> goog, Kubuntu is not a "whole new distro", Kubuntu is just Ubuntu with KDE instead of GNOME, nothing more nothing less
[14:28] <jrib> wdh: purge and reinstall whatever package you get from the output of: apt-cache search -n apache common
[14:28] <WIGGMPk> iminhell: thanks, i just found that myself.. was hoping it was just easier like reinstalling grub or something
[14:28] <n8tuser> wdh-> try to see if dpkg-reconfigure apache2 would fix it
[14:28] <jrib> wdh: actually, just install apache2 after you purge the above
[14:28] <PeskyJ> wos: oh you mean a local one.. I thought you meant on your router - I don't use internal software firewalls at all at home, just the one on the router
[14:28] <LjL> AzizLight: well, piping won't work because it's full of other cruft. either copy them manually or pipe something like: dpkg -l | grep openoff | awk ' { print $2 } '
[14:28] <recon69> AndreasMadrid: all get a bit fussy for me from here, past the output from lshw -C network so we can all have a look
[14:29] <biotrox> wos open one more 138
[14:29] <jajo_> what do you use for playing music ??
[14:29] <goog> LjL: yes, i know. i wanted to say: for a quick test of kde it might be faster to do just "apt-get install kde" then to download and install kubuntu.
[14:29] <LjL> goog: if you install other packages that aren't kubuntu-desktop ("kde" for instance), you'll very likely end up with something that's badly configured for most uses
[14:29] <iminhell> What does it mean if i am only able to play a dvd by using this code "export DVDCSS_METHOD=title && mplayer dvd://"   .... anytime I try to play by using a GUI all I get is a garbled mess ....?
[14:29] <WIGGMPk> iminhell: this really doesnt do it for me anyway, because I have two separate drives.. would my boot loader even be affected you think??
[14:29] <AzizLight> LjL: I can copy them one by one but should I use apt-get remove or autoremove (or both one after the other)
[14:29] <AndreasMadrid> recon69: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/95175/
[14:29] <n8tuser> WIGGMPk-> i would think when you install vista, you tell it to use the 2nd drive and ignore the first one
[14:30] <LjL> goog: could be, but "kde" will also get things installed that most users wouldn't really want
[14:30] <LjL> AzizLight: it doesn't much matter, you can always do autoremove later
[14:30] <wos> biotrox still not working
[14:30] <WIGGMPk> n8tuser: thats what im hoping.. but im using "restore" CD's that came with my laptop
[14:30] <LjL> AzizLight: just pay attention at the list of packages it's going to remove, before hitting Y
[14:30] <goog> LjL: why would they package stuff people dont want?
[14:30] <AzizLight> LjL: kk, thanks a lot for the help. I'll feedback when im done
[14:31] <WIGGMPk> n8tuser: im thinking I might take my ubuntu (primary) hd out to preserve it, and just add an entry to /boot/grub/menu.lst would that cover it?
[14:31] <n8tuser> WIGGMPk-> using a restore, i dont know, it maybe expecting it on the 1st drive, so you are up the creek with that
[14:31] <LjL> goog: look, i *use* Kubuntu. so i have kubuntu-desktop installed. if i type "sudo apt-get install kde", After this operation, 209MB of additional disk space will be used.
[14:31] <goog> LjL: i only want to use a filebrowser to access an ftp server. since that doesnt work in gnome anymore i will give kde a try.
[14:31] <biotrox> wos, have no idea anymore, as far as i know the samba as well as the windows sharing is using 137,138,139, and 445 have u check in your firewall for the hit count?
[14:31] <n8tuser> WIGGMPk-> those recovery disk expects them on 1st drive i believe
[14:31] <LjL> goog: why don't you just install Nautilus and Konqueror, for the time being, and try them out?
[14:31] <AzizLight> LjL: when I think of it I can just use sudo apt-get remove openoffice.org-* cant I?
[14:31] <LjL> goog: if you want something to "quickly test", that would seem like the sanest thing to do
[14:32] <WIGGMPk> n8tuser: well its ASUS, so it might be more flexible
[14:32] <LjL> AzizLight: yes you can
[14:32] <AndreasMadrid> recon69: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/95176/
[14:32] <Frogging101> biotrox: The network says it's connected, but the computers cant see each other!
[14:32] <sorush20> openoffice.org 3 crashes what can I do here is what I get in the terminal http://pastebin.com/ma25635c
[14:32] <Luks911> AndreasMadrid, do you use hardy or intrepid?
[14:32] <ardchoille> LjL , goog : I just tried ftp://blah in nautilus and it works fine (Intrepid here)
[14:32] <LjL> AzizLight: if they all match that pattern, you can. put it inside quotation marks though (will not really matter unless you have files in the current directory that start with openoffice.org-, but)
[14:33] <wos> i cant do that in gufw
[14:33] <ardchoille> s/blah/my host/
[14:33] <LjL> goog: err when i said Nautilus and Konqueror, i meant to say Dolphin and Konqueror
[14:33] <goog> LjL: apt-get "konqueror"?
[14:33] <AndreasMadrid> Luks911 intrepid
[14:33] <recon69> AndreasMadrid: have a read of this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide, I am :) , I'll see if i can spot your trouble as well
[14:33] <LjL> goog: no...? sudo apt-get install dolphin konqueror
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> hey all. I'm trying to use apt-file for a chuckle but when I run sudo apt-file updaet I get this error: Can't get http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/dists/intrepid/Contents-amd64.gz
[14:33] <goog> LjL: dolphin?
[14:34] <LjL> !dolphin | goog
[14:34] <LjL> goog: Dolphin is the standard KDE file manager
[14:34] <AndreasMadrid> recon69, Luke911 I just know that it worked already
[14:34] <Luks911> AndreasMadrid, so sudo aptitude install linux-backports-modules-intrepid
[14:34] <thiebaude> !thunar
[14:35] <goog> LjL: will dolphin look like its used under kde when i use it under gnome? will i be able to use it under gnome at all?
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> I've looked at /etc/apt/apt-file.conf but it makes very little sense, can anyone please assist
[14:35] <jojo1224> aptitude help -> This aptitude does not have Super Cow Powers.
[14:35] <wdh> jrib, thx.. that helped
[14:35] <LjL> goog: any KDE application can be used in GNOME and vice versa
[14:35] <biotrox> Frogging101, can it be ping already from both ends..?
[14:35] <LjL> goog: it'll just, well, install most of the KDE libraries for you when you install the application.
[14:35] <AndreasMadrid> -luks911 what does that do?
[14:35] <Luks911> AndreasMadrid, then you will have a new driver in System>administration>hardware drivers
[14:36] <LjL> goog: also - keep in mind i'm thinking of and using KDE 3. i'm completely unfamiliar with KDE 4.
[14:36] <goog> LjL: and they look the same as in kde then? dont they rely on a trillion settings and skins and graphic stuff that comes with the window manager?
[14:36] <jajo_> !xmms
[14:36] <DarkKnight> hey...how do we create a cd image in ubuntu
[14:36] <Luks911> AndreasMadrid, that install de ath5k driver, which work with your wifi
[14:36] <recon69> AndreasMadrid: look like it's not finding the driver for you card
[14:36] <n8tuser> AndreasMadrid-> you should not have both wireless and ethernet active at same time unless you know how to configure your route table (its advance knowhow)
[14:36]  * goog apt-get installs dolphin just for fun...
[14:36] <LjL> goog: it won't necessarily look the same, no. it'll work the same.

[14:36] <ActionParsnip> !info mkisofs | DarkKnight
[14:36] <ardchoille> !info audacious | jajo_
[14:37] <n8tuser> AndreasMadrid-> so you decide, either wireless or ethernet only -- one at a time, not at same time
[14:37] <goog> LjL: downloading 74 MB for dolphin... we will see ...
[14:37] <iminhell> What does it mean if i am only able to play a dvd by using this code "export DVDCSS_METHOD=title && mplayer dvd://"   .... anytime I try to play by using a GUI all I get is a garbled mess ....?  anyone?
[14:37] <DarkKnight> ActionParsnip; ??
[14:37] <LjL> ActionParsnip: should be just a warning, not an error
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> DarkKnight: http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/linux_beginner_books/unofficial_ubuntu_starter_guide/index_092.html
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> DarkKnight: or a gui guide: http://monmonja.com/blog/2008/11/make-iso-from-folders-files-in-ubuntu/
[14:38] <AndreasMadrid> n8tuser b4 i had both at the same time. yes. but now, if i unplug the cable, it doesn't show up either
[14:38] <n8tuser> AndreasMadrid-> what does not show up?
[14:38] <Photoguy> My 'start bar' (?) is trasnparent for some reason..any ideas?        Ubuntu 8.10 32 bit.
[14:38] <AndreasMadrid> n8tuser the wireless connections available
[14:39] <DarkKnight> ActionParsnip; i have a ubuntu dvd....i wanted a create an image of it and then write more dvd's....i m checking out ur posts
[14:39] <LjL> goog: look at this, go to my site http://apt.alturl.com/ , give Hardy, i386, put "ubuntu-desktop" as the metapackage, and then try putting "kde" first as the package and later "kubuntu-desktop". you'll see that "kubuntu-desktop" is much more lightweight than "kde", if you scroll down to check the size.
[14:39] <Luks911> AndreasMadrid, you need the driver, i have the same card ;)
[14:39] <Jack_Sparrow> DarkKnight easy enough to create an iso from a disk
[14:39] <LjL> goog: in a nutshell, "kde" is Debian's full-fledged-everything-KDE-desktop, while "kubuntu-desktop" is actually the KDE metapackage that the Ubuntu developers made.
[14:39] <AndreasMadrid> recon89 when i installed the driver with the help one om #ubuntu he told me i have to compile it again each time i have a kernel uptdate, but as far as i know i didn't have one. And still i tried make again
[14:39] <ardchoille> Photoguy: right click the panel, choose Properties, go to the Background tab and tweak :)
[14:40] <n8tuser> AndreasMadrid-> if you look at line 4 it says you have AR242x but on line 12, your config does not show you have the driver loaded, so load you ar242 compatible driver
[14:40] <LjL> goog: "kde" comes with things, such as the first-startup wizard, that Ubuntu normally doesn't use at all.
[14:40] <DarkKnight> Jack_Sparrrow; now how do i create an iso image
[14:40] <AndreasMadrid> Luks911: i'm currently running the ocmmand you gave me
[14:40] <Jack_Sparrow> DarkKnight dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/$USER/Desktop/file.iso bs=2k
[14:40] <goog> LjL: i hate wizards :-)
[14:40] <Photoguy> Oh.
[14:40] <Photoguy> Thanks
[14:40] <recon69> AndreasMadrid: do what Luks911 suggests , he's got the same card and you are missing the driver
[14:40] <engemec> hello!
[14:40] <boy-stockholm> hi
[14:41] <AndreasMadrid> Luke911 recon69 done
[14:41] <LjL> goog: you're not the only one. especially those first-run wizards that give you that "oh my, now if i get anything wrong i'll be doomed forever" feeling
[14:41] <Luks911> AndreasMadrid, well, then go to system>administration>hardware driver and enable a driver called something with "5xxx"
[14:42] <Luks911> AndreasMadrid, and finally reboot
[14:42] <AndreasMadrid> recon69, Luks911 before i used this driver and it worked well madwifi-hal-<IP_ADDRESS>-r3879-20081204.tar.gz
[14:42] <naamloos> hello i try to find out how to program my micro processor an :P89LCP935... i reasearched and found out that p89 is the actual processor type and the LPC935 is defining that itll use the ICP900 protocol to flash it. can anyone confirm this?
[14:42] <goog> LjL: i really really like the command line. and all this what happened today makes me think if i should use a gui for ftp/filebrowsing at all.
[14:42] <Luks911> AndreasMadrid, yes, you also could recompile that driver
[14:43] <bonhoffer> my volume, even when maximized, is very, very quiet on ubuntu 8.10 -- how can i change this?
[14:43] <AndreasMadrid> Luks911 "this driver is activated but not in use"
[14:43] <goog> LjL: unfortunately i never found a filebrowser for the terminal i liked.
[14:43] <n8tuser> naamloos-> perhaps visit the nice folks at  #embedded  ?
[14:43] <differentreality> anyone who can help me with my projector? I cant seem to be able to make my projector show all of my screen, there is always some of it missing :/
[14:43] <kevin123> hello, how to boot windows if grub dont have an option?
[14:43] <ardchoille> goog: have you tried gFTP ?
[14:43] <DarkKnight> Jack_Sparrrow; okkk...i m running that command....but is it that i have to run the command each time i want to create an iso
[14:44] <bonhoffer> i can't find any way to increase the volume in system --> prefs
[14:44] <recon69> AndreasMadrid: lets try the binary package and see if it works, much easer. you need to modprobe or reboot to activate it, dont know the modprobe command though
[14:44] <Luks911> AndreasMadrid, try with sudo modprobe ath5k
[14:44] <goog> ardchoille: i dont believe in switching the filebrowser just because i use a certain protocoll.
[14:44] <h4writer> hi, got a problem with my wifi. Can I ask it here, how to solve it?
[14:45] <n8tuser> AndreasMadrid-> or         sudo insmod  /path/to/ath5k
[14:45] <ardchoille> goog: ok, I have nautilus doing ftp in intrepid, fwiw
[14:45] <Lartza_> why is my sony psp moutned write protected?
[14:45] <n8tuser> h4writer-> what have you done to troubleshoot so far?
[14:45] <goog> doplhin doesnt seem to support ftp://user:pass@host. or is it because it uses the underlying gnome file system gvfs?
[14:45] <AndreasMadrid> recon69, Luks911 sudo modprobe ath5k renders no error, but result still is: driver activated but not in use
[14:45] <bjoern_>  i am using nv 7300gt: the linux driver v177 does not detect my screen connected by dvi cable. does anyone know such a problem?
[14:46] <iminhell> Someone want to have a look over my issue and see what they make of it?   -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1009052   ---
[14:46] <DarkKnight> Jack_Sparrrow; okkk...i m running that command....but is it that i have to run the command each time i want to create an iso
[14:46] <AndreasMadrid> n8tuser: I'm new to linux, dunno in what path it was saved now, but i know tha path to the madwifi-hal-<IP_ADDRESS>-r3879-20081204.tar.gz
[14:46] <Luks911> AndreasMadrid, and what do you get now with iwconfig?
[14:46] <bonhoffer> how do i pick which device gets sound (i am using a plantronics headset)
[14:47] <LjL> goog: can't help you there, i just use bash. but anyway can you restate your original problem? i joined late, i understood that there's something wrong with how gvfs handles ftp://, but that's about it
[14:47] <goog> LjL: dolphin shows the same problem as nautilus when trying to open ftp uris. sure it doesnt use gvfs when used in gnome?
[14:47] <n8tuser> AndreasMadrid-> follow Luks911 suggestion for now, we'll work on the compiling later
[14:47] <AndreasMadrid> Luks911: lo eth0 and pan0 no wireless extensions
[14:47] <LjL> goog: no, it will use kioslaves
[14:47] <h4writer> n8tuser, not so much. I know my wireless exist (wifi 4965 AG, lspci). I know it should work (laptop reviews on internet, aspire 5920G), but I reinstalled networkmanager and now it doesn't do anything anymore
[14:47] <goog> LjL: gfvs doesnt interpret "ftp://user:password@host".
[14:48] <h4writer> n8tuser, I'm just upgraded from gutsy to intrepid (everything worked on gutsy)
[14:48] <LjL> goog: uhm, i'm pretty sure i've used that syntax in KDE, let me try... (have you installed the KDE 4 or the KDE 3 dolphin, anyway?)
[14:48] <russell__> ppa
[14:48] <n8tuser> h4writer-> which pc are you using now to chat? same ?
[14:48] <goog> LjL: kioslaves is a virtual file system?
[14:48] <h4writer> n8tuser, same
[14:48] <boy-stockholm> hi anyone knows how to install DC++ on ubuntu ?
[14:48] <h4writer> n8tuser, cable atm
[14:48] <goog> LjL: i did "apt-get install dolphin"
[14:48] <LjL> goog: sort of, yes. similar to gvfs, probably a bit more powerful
[14:48] <LjL> goog: ok, are you on hardy or intrepid though?
[14:49] <goog> LjL: i cant remember names. i can only remember numbers. i use ubuntu 8.04
[14:49] <boy-stockholm> hi anyone knows how to install DC++ on ubuntu ? msg me please
[14:49] <n8tuser> h4writer-> i dont advise you having both wireless and ethernet enabled at same time, unless you are an advance  user and knows how to configure your route table
[14:49] <Luks911> AndreasMadrid, sorry, but i have to go here you have a complete tutorial to compile madwifi, in spanish ;) http://ubuntu-ar.org/tutoriales/ar5007eg
[14:49] <LjL> goog: then that's Hardy and you're using Dolphin for KDE 3, like me
[14:49] <goog> LjL: but i heard that ubuntu 8.10 still has the same bug.
[14:49] <bonhoffer> more precisely, i am trying to get my movie player to play through my headset
[14:49] <n8tuser> h4writer-> your host will get confused as to which nic it will use to get out of your pc (wireless or ethernet)
[14:49] <AndreasMadrid> Luks911: thanks, though my spanish ain't perfect, but I#ll try
[14:50] <goog> LjL: so what does "doplhin<EMAIL_ADDRESS>do on your machine?
[14:50] <h4writer> n8tuser, normally networkmanager handles everything fine. Before I tried to connect without cable (so only wifi) and it didn't work either
[14:50] <recon69> Luks911: when you do lshw -C network, what name is the driver , we can do a find -name "drivername" then insmod /path/to/driver
[14:50] <LjL> goog: parses the username, but still asks me for a password in a window :(
[14:50] <n8tuser> h4writer-> you decide, wifi or ethernet? only one at a time!
[14:50] <ardchoille> LjL: Nautilus does ftp://user@host on intrepid , what is this bug I hear about?
[14:50] <goog> LjL: ok, then maybe its a dolphin thing
[14:51] <LjL> goog: yes, it seems to be
[14:51] <goog> LjL: "konqueror<EMAIL_ADDRESS>seems to work.
[14:51] <LjL> goog: install Konqueror, that one works for me
[14:51] <LjL> ardchoille: ask goog, i don't use GNOME
[14:51] <h4writer> n8tuser, indeed that's isn't the problem. My wifi doesn't want to give a list of available wifi's so I can't connect (and disconnecting my cable internet ;-))
[14:51] <h4writer> n8tuser, I don't want to use them at the same time !!
[14:51] <boy-stockholm> hi anyone knows how to install DC++ on ubuntu ? msg me please
[14:52] <goog> ardchoille: it doesnt do ftp://user:password@host
[14:52] <recon69> AndreasMadrid: if you lazy like me you can reboot and it should get loaded :)
[14:52] <srx2002> hi guys, quick question....I'm trying to get add some helper applications in Firefox so I may choose what I would like to do when downloading files.....where does the Linux ( Ubuntu ) store the actual files required to run certain programs..?

[14:52] <ardchoille> goog: Ah, ok, I only do user@hots, not user:pass@host
[14:52] <n8tuser> h4writer-> post your results of   sudo lshw -C network
[14:52] <AndreasMadrid> recon69, ok, i'll reboot then now  / now then
[14:52] <goog> LjL: so i will try around with konqueror and see if i like it.
[14:52] <srx2002> so I may point to the said application

[14:54] <lorenabosso> obrigada!
[14:54] <LjL> goog: you might also try pcmanfm, it's a GNOME file manager that's pretty similar to Nautilus. it'll probably use the very same gvfs and so have the very same problem, but it's worth trying... (after all, both Dolphin and Konqueror use kioslaves, but still behave differently)

[14:57] <AzizLight> LjL: if I remove openoffice, packages like aspell and language-support-* and dictionnaries are going to get removed as well. is that bad considering the fact that I already installed koffice? and if yes can I prevent those packages from being removed?

[14:58] <goog> LjL: well, thanks a lot for all your help. i learned a lot today.
[14:58] <iminhell> read the thread, I have tried all that to no avail, it's more than a simple codec issue
[14:58] <AzizLight> LjL: they get removed without autoremove, they get removed with just apt-get remove. I didnt remove anything yet tho
[14:58] <goog> LjL: but it will free the mem when i close it, right?
[14:59] <LjL> AzizLight: Hardy or Intrepid?

[15:02] <DRMacIver> Hi. I'm trying to get my wifi working on my laptop. I've never had much luck with the proprietary drivers Ubuntu provides for it, so previously I'd been using madwifi. Unfortunately this seems to have broken in the course of an upgrade (I don't know exactly when. I normally use wired), and I can't seem to get it to work again.
[15:02] <LjL> AzizLight: the most conservative way seems to be: sudo apt-get remove openoffice.org-base openoffice.org-common
[15:03] <Edulix> n8tuser: what does it have to do with anything? I'm executing iwlist ath0 scan, and ath0 is up and in Managed mode
[15:03] <LjL> AzizLight: try that first, then if you're not satisfied with what it removes, try something more drastic...
[15:03] <h4writer> n8tuser, if I try the iwlist it still give "no scan results"
[15:03] <funbitz1> hi. i just downloaded and installed ubuntu 8.10, and then the kubuntu-desktop package (with synaptic) and kde runs really slow, gnome is much more snappy. the #kubuntu channel isn't helping. i have geforce 9400gt and version 177 of the nvidia acc drv activated, as I think its a video card problem... suggestions?
[15:03] <wos> would anyone be so kind as to tell me how to configure gufw firewall for samba?
[15:04] <n8tuser> h4writer-> the driver you have iwlagn seems to be incompatible, find the correct driver for your chip
[15:04] <AzizLight> LjL: ok I will try that now
[15:04] <homy> Does anybody know about a free point to point chat protocol that is available in ubuntu?
[15:04] <LjL> funbitz1: it probably is a video driver problem indeed, especially if the slowness you're experiencing is mostly about resizing windows and scrolling
[15:04] <DRMacIver> (According to lspci it's an Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[15:04] <h4writer> n8tuser, ok ty :-D
[15:04] <Edulix> DRMacIver: hey, same as mine
[15:05] <n8tuser> Edulix-> can you drop that attitude?  if you like my help that is..
[15:05] <wos> would anyone be so kind as to help me configure gufw firewall for samba?
[15:05] <Edulix> DRMacIver: and you get no scan results when doing iwlist scan right? uhm same problem as mine
[15:05] <jojo1224> how do you install vmware server on ubuntu server?
[15:05] <funbitz1> LjL: yeah, when i resize a window, my core 2 duo 8200 goes nuts...
[15:06] <LjL> funbitz1: i know that's definitely related to the nvidia drivers, but i don't really know the solution
[15:06] <DRMacIver> Edulix: Indeed. Or rather I get eth0 and lo both of which don't support scanning (and with an iwconfig same but they don't have wireless)
[15:06] <LjL> funbitz1: try harder in #kubuntu, someone almost certainly knows if you have some patience
[15:06] <Edulix> n8tuser: sorry if I annoyed you with my attitude, I just don't see any relation between my card not receiving beacons with /etc/network/interfaces =)
[15:06] <LjL> !vmware > jojo1224    (jojo1224, see the private message from ubottu)
[15:06] <wos> would anyone be so kind as to help me configure gufw firewall for samba?
[15:06] <iminhell> wos: ala Google --> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/gufw-simple-gui-for-ufw-uncomplicated-firewall.html  beats me otherwise
[15:07] <DRMacIver> Yesterday after some futzing around with proprietary drivers and using an older kernel I managed to get it to at least see wireless networks, but I got 100% packet errors when trying to use them
[15:07] <jojo1224> k
[15:07] <n8tuser> Edulix-> lack of information thats why, i can guess what you already have, so by asking you to provide those, will get closer
[15:07] <Kenny> Is there a way an Ubuntu computer can instant message a WinXP computer on a local network??
[15:07] <wos> :(
[15:07] <n8tuser> Edulix-> all you said in earliest post if you can not scan..so i require more info
[15:08] <LjL> Kenny: smbclient -m
[15:08] <Edulix> n8tuser: it contains two lines: auto lo\n iface lo inet loopback
[15:08] <LjL> Kenny: smbclient -M i meant
[15:08] <Kenny> LJL>>> Is that something I can get with apt-get or aptitude??
[15:08] <LjL> Kenny: of course
[15:08] <LjL> Kenny: just type "smbclient" and you'll be told what package contains it
[15:09] <funbitz1> LjL: sorry my ignorance. does #kubuntu need a registered nickname to post as well? i'm using chatzilla in firefox and it doesn't tell me that my post isn't actually visible if a channel needs registration...
[15:09] <AzizLight> LjL: I removed openoffice.org-common and base as you said, but some packages still appear when I use dpkg -l. what does the rc/ii that is in front of the package name means?
[15:09] <LjL> funbitz1: it doesn't need any registration
[15:09] <n8tuser> Edulix-> can you add a line on your interfaces file    iface ath0 inet dhcp
[15:09] <Kenny> Should I do it in a terminal or Package manager??
[15:09] <homy> point to point chatting (like icq)?
[15:09] <LjL> AzizLight: rc means they've actually been removed, only the config files have been left (which are likely irrelevant). ii means it's still installed.
[15:10] <a_n_d_r_e> I'm having issues capturing audio with xvidcap, istanbul, recordmydesktop etc... but not audacity... I believe the problem is either with /dev/dsp (OSS) or with pulseaudio, has anyone heard of this issue?
[15:10] <n8tuser> DRMacIver-> follow along with what am advising Edulix
[15:10] <AndreasMadrid> recon69 it didn't work
[15:10] <wos> would anyone be so kind as to help me configure gufw firewall for samba?
[15:10] <LjL> Kenny: no difference, just your preference
[15:10] <lawler> Hi guys - I'm setting up ubuntu for someone and am having a small problem with compiz.  I want the widget layer to load automatically when he boots up (to avoid him having to remember to press F9) so he always has his screenlets but can't figure out how.  Can anyone tell me how to do this?
[15:10] <Kenny> Thank you LJL... greatly appreciated.

[15:11] <Suede> !list
[15:11] <DRMacIver> n8tuser: Sure. I'll just be a minut ethough. Sorting something else out.
[15:11] <recon69> AndreasMadrid: damn , well, lets try find your driver , goto the /etc/ dir and do find -name "ath5k*"
[15:11] <DRMacIver> (Installing madwifi-hal rather than madwifi)
[15:11] <n8tuser> AndreasMadrid-> can you see if the driver ar242   is anywhere in your  /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ubuntu/wireless   ?
[15:12] <a_n_d_r_e> !ubottu
[15:12] <AzizLight> well I guess the command ive used have been good enough. there are still packages like openoffice.org-base-core or help-* or l10n or even thesaurus but im afraid that if I removed them it might break something
[15:12] <tood> hello
[15:12] <LjL> AzizLight: you can try removing them one by one and see what they'd take away
[15:13] <wos> would anyone be so kind as to help me configure my firewall for samba?
[15:13] <AzizLight> LjL: that's the thing, they dont take away anything, that's why im afraid it might break some other packages

Can anyone tell me how to do this?
[15:13] <LjL> AzizLight: that would be a bug. really shouldn't happen. if they're needed by something else, then the something else really should depend on them, in which case apt-get would remove it for you.
[15:13] <tood> boxitor
[15:13] <homy> Is there any point to point chat protocol/programm in ubuntu?
[15:14] <jojo1224> lawler: just tell him to hit F9, its a easy button to press
[15:14] <LjL> homy: ICQ clients are available.
[15:14] <EdijusXP> I want to install windows, but I do not want to loose access to Ubuntu. How do I manage that?
[15:14] <AndreasMadrid> n8tuser in modules there's only 2.6.27-7-generic and -9 generic
[15:14] <srx2002> command to list the contents of a directory beginning with a certain letter only?
[15:14] <iminhell> !dual boot
[15:14] <LjL> EdijusXP: i'm afraid you will have to restore your Ubuntu bootloader manually (using a live CD for instance) after installing Windows. unless you install it on a different hard drive.
[15:15] <tood> ok have to go
[15:15] <Ximal>  hey guys... i installed the libapache2-mod-bw package and i'm wandering if there's a way for me to configure it ? i can't find the proper cli command
[15:15] <Kenny> LJL>>> Snyaptic says it's already installed (green box).  I can't find it in my applications??
[15:15] <LjL> srx2002: ls a*
[15:15] <tood> r u here
[15:15] <n8tuser> AndreasMadrid-> look in subdir of those, to see where that ar242 or whatever the name of it.. resides
[15:15] <AndreasMadrid> recon69 in /ecT theres nothing with ath
[15:15] <wos> would anyone be so kind as to help me configure my firewall for samba?
[15:15] <LjL> Kenny: what does "apt-cache policy smbclient" say?
[15:15] <EdijusXP> LjL: Its good that I have Live CD. How do I edit bootloader?
[15:15] <homy> LjL: and a point-to-point chatting program? So that my and my friend don't have to register anywhere or use a server or stuff like that?
[15:15] <n8tuser> Ximal-> perhaps a visit to #apache  channel?
[15:16] <recon69> AndreasMadrid: sorry , n8tuser know more than me, lib/modules is the correct place
[15:16] <AzizLight> LjL: when I do dpkg -l | grep openoff is there a way to also output the size of the packages?
[15:16] <Ximal> n8tuser: no such luck.. channel's dead this morning..
[15:16] <srx2002> ls: cannot access M*: No such file or directory
[15:16] <LjL> AzizLight: yes, hold on
[15:16] <srx2002> LjL: won't work
[15:16] <LjL> srx2002: then there is no file starting with M
[15:17] <n8tuser> Ximal-> that modules seems so customized, not many uses them?  or try another net, like undernet.org #apache channel ?
[15:17] <srx2002> yup...there is...in my /usr/bin
[15:17] <srx2002> trying to list all files beginning with M
[15:17] <biotrox> !generic
[15:17] <LjL> AzizLight: dpkg-query -W --showformat='${Installed-Size} ${Package}\n' | grep openoff | sort -nr
[15:18] <umbi> ciao a tutti
[15:18] <cylux> How do I make a tarball of my home directory and perhaps filter it to include only hidden files?
[15:18] <LjL> srx2002: i'd be very surprised if there were any files starting with uppercase M in /usr/bin.
[15:18] <LjL> !it | umbi
[15:18] <cylux> When I say hidden, I mean starting with ','
[15:18] <AndreasMadrid> n8tuser can't find it
[15:18] <cylux>  '.'*
[15:18] <n8tuser> cylux-> start with  man   tar   and look for exclude options
[15:18] <recon69> AndreasMadrid: so do a 'uname -r' to see what kernel you running and go to that dir under /lib/modules/
[15:18] <LjL> !grub > EdijusXP    (EdijusXP, see the private message from ubottu)
[15:18] <Psi-Jack> Alrighty then! JFS seems to be a pretty kick butt filesystem!
[15:18] <Kenny> LJL>>> [green box]-smbclient ... [white box]-libfilesys-smbclient-perl.  There is nothing that says apt-cahce policy smbclient.
[15:18] <cylux> n8tuser: Thanks
[15:18] <srx2002> LjL: I know...i see them when I do  ls  .....but I can't see a list of files only beginning with the letter M
[15:19] <quizme__> hi
[15:19] <srx2002> I must have the command wrong
[15:19] <LjL> Kenny: i'm telling you to *type*, in your terminal, "apt-cache policy smbclient"
[15:19] <n8tuser> AndreasMadrid-> then perhaps you have not installed it yet from that tarball? oh wait, have you even compiled it yet and make install ?
[15:19] <quizme__> does anybody know what the Total DNS section in your domain is for in GoDaddy?
[15:19] <EdijusXP> LjL: Thatks, bro. Have a nice day ;)
[15:19] <LjL> srx2002: hint: the Linux filesystem is case sensitive. "M" is not "m"
[15:19] <DRMacIver> n8tuser: Ok. I'm getting things in iwlist and iwconfig now, but I'm not actually seeing any wireless networks in the network manager
[15:20] <a_n_d_r_e> I'm having issues capturing audio with xvidcap, istanbul, recordmydesktop etc... but not audacity... I believe the problem is either with /dev/dsp (OSS) or with pulseaudio, has anyone heard of this issue?
[15:20] <AndreasMadrid> n8tuser: i had compiled it once and until yesterday it workd, but i was told i have to recompiled it every once in a while
[15:20] <srx2002> still not working
[15:20] <recon69> n8tuser: AndreasMadrid no he got a binary from backports
[15:20] <Kenny>   Installed: 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3.3

[15:20] <DRMacIver> (That's after the interfaces change)
[15:20] <n8tuser> DRMacIver-> dont worry about network manager,  what are the results of   iwlist ath0 scan  and iwconfig  <-- post in pastebin please
[15:20] <LjL> Kenny, i could do with the "installed" line... anyway, that does indeed mean it's already installed, so you can just, well, use it
[15:20] <melch> Hi i am trying to use the repos to install the nvidia 177 driver for my 9500 gt card. Everytime I do X will not start because it says not screen is found
[15:21] <srx2002> what would be the correct command to list the contents of a directory beginning with the letter M while in that directory...in my case /usr/bin
[15:21] <daNz_ajah> #NESTA
[15:21] <n8tuser> AndreasMadrid-> what is the name of your wifi chip again? ar242 yes?
[15:21] <biotrox> ls /usr/bin M*
[15:21] <Kenny> from where... is it an app... cause there is nothing in my apps.
[15:21] <DRMacIver> n8tuser: http://pastebin.com/f6ecc21ef http://pastebin.com/f3129e2b1
[15:22] <AzizLight> LjL: that's quit a command :) I love it! just one thing (I know Im being picky, sorry :S ) is there a way to output the result in human readable format (ie Mb and Gb) ?
[15:22] <LjL> biotrox: are you sure?
[15:22] <recon69> n8tuser : the driver that lurk recommended to AndreasMadrid was ath5k
[15:22] <srx2002> brian@brian-laptop:/usr/bin$ ls M*
[15:22] <srx2002> ls: cannot access M*: No such file or directory
[15:22] <srx2002> brian@brian-laptop:/usr/bin$
[15:22] <umbi> ddere
[15:22] <srx2002> what am I doing wrong?
[15:23] <AndreasMadrid> n8tuser: dunno whta card, just that it's atheros, and that this driver had previously worked: madwifi-hal-<IP_ADDRESS>-r3879-20081204.tar.gz
[15:23] <n8tuser> AndreasMadrid-> then look for that ath5k somewhere in that  /lib/modules/`uname -r`/   subdirs
[15:24] <biotrox> ls /usr/bin/M*
[15:24] <LjL> AzizLight: not that i know of (also, listing like that wouldn't allow you to sort)
[15:24] <biotrox> cd /usr/bin
[15:24] <AndreasMadrid> n8tuser and the ath5k and another "Support for atheros 802.11 wireless card" is also displayed in system-admin-drivers
[15:24] <biotrox> ls M*
[15:24] <LjL> srx2002: what you're doing wrong is that *THERE IS NO FILE IN /usr/bin STARTING WITH UPPERCASE M*
[15:24] <DRMacIver> n8tuser: Ok. So actually reading the scan results rathe than treating them as noise, that does indeed to be properly seeing the neighbourhood wireless networks. :) But I'd quite like to get this working in the network manager if I could.
[15:24] <recon69> AndreasMadrid: CD to the /lib/modules dir and do file -name 'ath*'
[15:24] <n8tuser> DRMacIver-> you live near me? i have that many AP to choose from too..lol.   anyhow it shows you are associated, so just do   dhclient wlan0
[15:24] <Kenny> LJL>>> sorry to bug.. my question is how do i start the program when it's not in my apps??
[15:25] <AzizLight> LjL: meh never mind, the command is cool enough as it is. Thanks a lot for all the help
[15:25] <biotrox> ls -al /usr/bin | grep M
[15:25] <LjL> Kenny, it's a console program. you type its name in a terminal. specifically, to use it to send messages, the syntax as i said is "smbclient -M hostname"
[15:25] <n8tuser> DRMacIver-> rather sudo dhclient wlan0
[15:25] <srx2002> ok...how about listing directories
[15:25] <biotrox> ls
[15:25] <n8tuser> DRMacIver-> rather sudo dhclient wlan0    or ath0  if your nic is ath0
[15:25] <recon69> AndreasMadrid: look for the file ath5k
[15:25] <biotrox> !ls
[15:25] <srx2002> ok...how about listing directories beginning with M
[15:26] <Kenny> For sure... thanks a lot.  Have a good one.

[15:29] <srx2002> I have read the help and and man pages...I'm still having some trouble with this :  I'm trying to list the contents of this directory /usr/bin BUT instead of doing just an ls..I'm trying to list only files beginning with the letter M....( when I do Ls...I can see PLENTY of files files beginning with M...so I know they are there....I just wanna list the files beginning with M

[15:29] <melch> Hi i am trying to use the repos to install the nvidia 177 driver for my 9500 gt card. Everytime I do X will not start because it says not screen is found
[15:30] <bazhang> srx2002, what does this have to do with your ubuntu installation/troubleshooting
[15:30] <jpjacobs> biotrox,  how exactly (read the man page, didn't see that)
[15:30] <srx2002> bazhang: I'm trying to get used to using the command line.....??
[15:30] <bazhang> srx2002, this is not the place for that
[15:30] <AndreasMadrid> recon69: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/95183/
[15:30] <onetinsoldier> srx2002: you can also do it like so...   ls /usr/bin | grep '^m'
[15:30] <srx2002> I installed ubuntu, I really like it....I'm just tryig to better myself
[15:31] <biotrox> jpjacobs, example xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1280x800 --output VGA --mode 1024x768 --below LVDS
[15:31] <whynot> I succeeded to revive my windows2000 partition using clonezilla.  Here goes another question.  This is an ubuntu issue.
[15:31] <Jack_Sparrow> srx2002 try a small M
[15:31] <bazhang> srx2002, that is commendable, but outside the scope of this channel
[15:31] <n8tuser> DRMacIver-> both interfaces dies on you? how do you know? are you using same host to chat with us now?

[15:31] <runpain2> hey Jack_Sparrow
[15:31] <DRMacIver> n8tuser: My IRC client lives on a server elsewhere.
[15:32] <whynot> when I check out my disks with fdisk -l, gnome displays my usb ntfs hard drive as fat16.  Why is that?
[15:32] <recon69> AndreasMadrid: agg, my brain has stopped working it find -name "ath5k"
[15:32] <DRMacIver> n8tuser: But I'm connected to that server from the computer I'm trying to get working, yes.
[15:32] <biotrox> !partition
[15:32] <runpain2> Jack_Sparrow, how you been
[15:32] <recon69> AndreasMadrid: or better with the star find -name "ath5k*"
[15:32] <biotrox> !fat16
[15:32] <DRMacIver> n8tuser: And I know because my ssh connection died and I couldn't reconnect to anything. :)
[15:32] <ZA8TU> are you here<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[15:32] <n8tuser> DRMacIver-> using ethernet right?
[15:33] <DRMacIver> Yeah
[15:33] <Jack_Sparrow> runpain2 fine, but this isnt the place for chat thanks.. I am only lurking while building a couple of computers
[15:33] <whynot> ubottu/you know much more than you think, but you're just bot.
[15:33] <biotrox> whynot fat16 is 16 bit File Allocation Table
[15:33] <runpain2> !startup configuration
[15:33] <jpjacobs> biotrox, hmmm it did something, however, it didn't change the primary display...
[15:33] <biotrox> it's an old FAT filesystem
[15:33] <n8tuser> DRMacIver-> one advised i said earlier, is do not have both wireless and ethernet enabled at same time, only one nic at a time
[15:33] <AndreasMadrid> recon69 ath5k.ko
[15:33] <biotrox> u have to edit the xorg.conf
[15:34] <DRMacIver> n8tuser: That makes communication a little difficult. :)
[15:34] <whynot> biotrox/it means? gnome displays wrong information?
[15:34] <runpain2> hey Jack_Sparrow how do i stop an application from starting up when i boot up
[15:34] <onetinsoldier> whynot: i think a lot of times usb drives and memory sticks come formatted as fat16
[15:34] <n8tuser> DRMacIver-> it is indeed, your host does not know which nic to take, wireless or ethernet? unless you know how to configure your route table
[15:34] <recon69> AndreasMadrid: need to know the directory
[15:34] <bingungaja> i got 1 usplash file downloaded named chrome-theme.so, what should I do to make it my usplash ? anyone can teach me pls

[15:34] <runpain2> i am using kubuntu 8.04
[15:34] <biotrox> u have to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf so it recognise there's another extended monitor
[15:35] <n8tuser> AndreasMadrid-> where did you find that ath5k.ko  ? the dir?
[15:35] <Nay2>  hallo everybody
[15:35] <AndreasMadrid> recon69 ./2.6.27-9-generic/updates/ath5k.ko
[15:35] <francisc1701> hi, I'm getting "An installation step failed <bla bla>" while building chroot. I'm using the intrepid alternate cd -- both the image's and the cd's md5sum are ok. Any ideas?
[15:35] <iminhell> (08:12:41 AM) iminhell: What does it mean if i am only able to play a dvd by using this code "export DVDCSS_METHOD=title && mplayer dvd://"   .... anytime I try to play by using a GUI all I get is a garbled mess ....?
[15:35] <onetinsoldier> whynot: hmmm, i see. try using  gparted.. see what gparted says it is. the linux fdisk prog is old and probably not to be trusted
[15:35] <whynot> onetinsoldier/ I formatted it as ntfs. Weird enough, when I check properties of the disk, it shows me correct file system, ntfs.
[15:35] <francisc1701> oh and i selected "install ltsp server" when I booted the cd
[15:36] <biotrox> jpjacobs, http://navetz.com/v/132/Simple-dual-monitor-setup-with-XrandR-in-Ubuntu-Linux
[15:36] <DRMacIver> n8tuser: Ok. But before disconnecting the ethernet I'd quite like to have sufficient information to get the wifi working, else it's not much good. :)
[15:36] <n8tuser> AndreasMadrid-> try to remove your old  iwlagn driver and then insmod  /path/to/ath5k     note no .so
[15:36] <biotrox> whynot, backup u're usb flash and use makefs to turn it to FAT32
[15:36] <Nay2>  For me why that ubuntu 8.10 is not set even with live cd
[15:36] <n8tuser> DRMacIver-> paste your current    route -n   results
[15:37] <jpjacobs> biotrox, thx for the info!
[15:37] <badfish69> anyone using pidgin?
[15:37] <biotrox> jpjacobs no problem
[15:37] <iminhell> I am right now
[15:37] <AndreasMadrid> n8tuser remove or deaktivate onyl?
[15:37] <DRMacIver> n8tuser: http://pastebin.com/f1ead724a
[15:37] <biotrox> !mkfs | whynot
[15:37] <ashutosh> Hi
[15:37] <n8tuser> AndreasMadrid-> remove the iwlagn
[15:38] <bingungaja> i got 1 usplash file downloaded named chrome-theme.so, what should I do to make it my usplash ? anyone can guide me the step tp do that pls
[15:38] <ashutosh> df
[15:38] <whynot> biotrox/it's not a flash.  it's a usb hard drive.  I don't have to re format it.
[15:38] <biotrox> just use the FAT16 then
[15:38] <biotrox> :D
[15:38] <AndreasMadrid> n8tuser wat is the iwlagn?
[15:38] <whynot> biotrox/u don't understand my question.
[15:38] <AndreasMadrid> n8tuser i only have the ahteros drivers in system-admin-drivers
[15:38] <n8tuser> DRMacIver-> make a note of that, you have one gateway,  if you attempt to bring up your ath0 and adds another gateway, your box will get confused which gateway or interface even to take
[15:39] <biotrox> whynot what is your question?
[15:39] <n8tuser> AndreasMadrid-> sudo lsmod |grep iwlagn    results?
[15:39] <DRMacIver> n8tuser: ok
[15:39] <ashutosh> Will pasting all the files in the .iso file of ubuntu 8.10 on a flash drive and booting flash drive before hdd boot into ubuntu?
[15:39] <whynot> biotrox/ubuntu terminal displays it as fat16, but when I check the properties of the disk, it shows me correct information, i.e. ntfs.
[15:39] <DRMacIver> n8tuser: So, should I bring down eth1 before I do the dhclient call or what?
[15:39] <Jack_Sparrow> ashutosh no
[15:40] <Jack_Sparrow> !usb > ashutosh
[15:40] <AndreasMadrid> n8tuser nothing
[15:40] <biotrox> whynot owh sorry
[15:40] <biotrox> :D
[15:40] <n8tuser> AndreasMadrid-> sudo lsmod |grep ath    results?
[15:40] <whynot> onetinsoldier is correct maybe.
[15:40] <biotrox> whynot don't know
[15:40] <biotrox> :D
[15:40] <n8tuser> DRMacIver-> yes, bring down eth1 and ath0 then bring up ath0 alone
[15:41] <bazhang> biotrox, please desist with the smileys
[15:41] <b52ub> hi
[15:41] <Razy> hi, i search gpaint but same paint.net for ubuntu ?
[15:41] <recon69> AndreasMadrid : to remove old driver do "gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist" and add then lines "blacklist ath_hal" and "blacklist ath_pci" also check to see if the is a line "blacklist ath5k" if there is change it to "#blacklist ath5k"
[15:41] <b52ub> pplw modifying the network conf manually no longer works !
[15:41] <b52ub> ?
[15:41] <gilles243156> When I insert my MP3 player via usb, a media application is autostarted. How can I disable or change this behaviour? Ubuntu 8.04. Tried System/Preferences/Preferred applications. Tried System/Preferences/Removable Drives.
[15:41] <AndreasMadrid> n8tuser: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/95184/
[15:41] <b52ub> i mean just editing the ip adress of my eth interface
[15:41] <DRMacIver> n8tuser: ok
[15:42] <Kohlrak> Does anyone know how to disable middle click?
[15:42] <DRMacIver> n8tuser: Hm. I'm being dim. Is the right way to do that not ifdown eth1? I'm getting "interface eth1 not configured" when I try.
[15:42] <kristian_> is there any command for iwconfig  for making ubuntu connect to wlan automatic on startup?
[15:42] <whynot> When someone gives me wrong information, I'll take him (her) my enemy.  ^^  I'm not talking about biotrox.
[15:42] <Nay2> Мля здесь кто нить говорит по русски, или так и будем всякую хуйню писать?
[15:42] <LjL> !ru | nay2
[15:43] <biotrox> heh...?
[15:43] <n8tuser> DRMacIver-> or perhaps eth0 ? know the names of your nics
[15:43] <bazhang> Nay2, /join #ubuntu-ru
[15:43] <whynot> biotrox/just kidding.
[15:43] <bingungaja> i got 1 usplash file downloaded named chrome-theme.so, what should I do to make it my usplash ? anyone can guide me the step tp do that pls
[15:43] <n8tuser> kristian_-> its not iwconfig, you enable it in /etc/network/interfaces   with auto wlan0  or auto ath0
[15:43] <DRMacIver> n8tuser: No, eth0 isn't there at all
[15:44] <n8tuser> DRMacIver-> sudo ifdown eth1
[15:44] <quizme__> does anybody know about godaddy?
[15:44] <DRMacIver> n8tuser: eth1 is the only wired interface ifconfig is reporting, and it does claim it exists
[15:44] <whynot> but I think there are too many information on how to use ubuntu including wrong info.  It's very confusing.
[15:44] <DRMacIver> n8tuser: Yes, that's what I did
[15:44] <kristian_> n8tuser : alright, ill check that out, thanks for helping out. will see if i can get it to work. :)
[15:44] <netsrot> Hi, I just pressed uninstall on pulse audio in synaptics and it said it will have to remove ubuntu-desktop also, is that a good thing?
[15:44] <gnutron> bingungaja: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplash  following this guideline should work for you.
[15:44] <AndreasMadrid> recon69 ok, done. there was no blacklist for ath, but for eth1394
[15:44] <quizme__> it seems like godaddy let's you set A records and CNAME records for your domain.  Isn't that DNS stuff ?
[15:44] <bingungaja> gnutron: thx
[15:45] <Nay2>  keep out me on #ubuntu-ru
[15:45] <DRMacIver> n8tuser: http://pastebin.com/f1822638c is showing eth1 but not eth0, yet ifdown eth1 isn't working. It's very odd.
[15:45] <recon69> AndreasMadrid: thats ok, now it wont try load the old driver
[15:45] <n8tuser> DRMacIver-> type the command  sudo ifdown eth1  and paste the results
[15:45] <whynot> I wrestled with clonezilla for more than 5 hours. (it's not an ubuntu issue)  It makes me frustrated.  Finally, I solved out the problem but I'm totall exhausted.  Mentally drained.
[15:46] <matisse> hi
[15:46] <netsrot> will my computer be able to boot without ubuntu-desktop package?
[15:46] <recon69> AndreasMadrid: now try "sudo insmod /lib/modules/2.6.27-9-generic/updates/ath5k.ko"
[15:46] <bazhang> netsrot, yep
[15:46] <DRMacIver> n8tuser: I did. All it says is ifdown: interface eth1 not configured
[15:46] <AndreasMadrid> recon69, n8tuser: I just disbaled the wlan driver in hardware manually. and it says it's deactivated but still in user
[15:47] <AndreasMadrid> use
[15:47] <n8tuser> whynot->  you still have hair? hehehe
[15:47] <kristian_> n8tuser : so i would just add "auto wlan0" to the txt and i should work?
[15:47] <lordmorgoth> guys, is there a way to install themes for amaroke while running it on ubuntu (gnome)
[15:47] <n8tuser> kristian_-> assuming your nic name is wlan0  yes, then restart via  sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[15:47] <whynot> n8tuser/ I have some, I lost many many hairS.
[15:48] <hebrsh> hi all, need help; how can I recover from an empty /boot partition. I have apt-get complaining about Internal Error: Could not find image (/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-9-generic) which after an rm -r is obviously not there
[15:48] <n8tuser> whynot welcome to the club of hair lossing system.. aka ubuntu...hehehe
[15:48] <DRMacIver> n8tuser: Now that I think about it, I've noticed this behaviour on other machines running hardy too. I've just never bothered to figure out what's going on. Might be this problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=900804
[15:48] <whynot> n8tuser/ what do you mean aka?
[15:49] <n8tuser> AndreasMadrid-> let me google for what driver is used for yours
[15:49] <whynot> aka stands for...?
[15:49] <n8tuser> also known as
[15:49] <gnutron> whynot: also known as = a/k/a
[15:49] <hebrsh> The other thing involved there is the installation of grub that misserably fail on the same linux generic
[15:49] <DRMacIver> n8tuser: Hm. ifconfig eth1 down works but then it immediately comes back up again without my doing anything.
[15:49] <whynot> Thanks
[15:49] <AndreasMadrid> n8tuser, recon69: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/95185/
[15:50] <whynot> Actually, english is not my mother tongue.  and there are too many abbreviations in english.
[15:50] <lordmorgoth> guys, is there a way to install themes for amaroke while running it on ubuntu (gnome)
[15:50] <whynot> Check this site.  www.acronymfinder.com
[15:50] <iminhell> I try to play a DVD with any of the programs in add/remove (Gxine, Mplayer, Totem, helix, VLC, etc) and all I get is a pixilated mess. This is even on a ripped/stripped/burned DVD (i.e. no CSS). I have all the good/bad/ugly/unstripped and libdvd codecs in place; have uninstalled and re installed several times with no change. I can get clean video to play via the terminal command "export DVDCSS_METHOD=title && mplayer dvd://". ...... What
[15:50] <n8tuser> DRMacIver-> contents of your interfaces file again?
[15:50] <matisse> how do change in a textfile by script multiple space chars to 1 tab ?
[15:50] <jrib> matisse: use sed
[15:50] <recon69> AndreasMadrid: you missing the / after modules, it should be the full path to the ath5k.ko file
[15:51] <jrib> matisse: or tr
[15:51] <olskolirc> hey guys how do I uninstall this kde4.2 upgrade or kubuntu all together and start over with what came with my intrepid please?  command line?
[15:51] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: hello... having trouble?
[15:51] <olskolirc> nobody is up at #kubuntu
[15:51] <n8tuser> AndreasMadrid-> do not add the .ko   just  ath5k  and see if it works
[15:51] <kristian_> n8tuser : will give it a shot, thanks for your time! :)
[15:51] <gnutron> whynot: acronyms and initials are two different things, acronyms you can pronounce, initials you do not.
[15:51] <LjL> !downgrade | olskolirc
[15:51] <mker> iminhell, with pixelated mess do you mean that you don't see anything or that the picture is "normal" but is shown as very small pixels (which makes it looks like crap)
[15:51] <n8tuser> kristian_-> good luck
[15:51] <AndreasMadrid> n8tuser: insmod: can't read 'ath5k': No such file or directory
[15:52] <AndreasMadrid> with or without .ko, but it's in there
[15:52] <olskolirc> how do I take kubuntu out all together on intrepid please?
[15:52] <AndreasMadrid> n8tuser: andy@ubuntu:/lib/modules/2.6.27-9-generic/updates$ sudo insmod ath5k
[15:52] <AndreasMadrid> insmod: can't read 'ath5k': No such file or directory
[15:52] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: big trouble :( gentoo != ubuntu
[15:52] <whynot> gnutron/ that website will shows you aka as an acronym.
[15:52] <DRMacIver> n8tuser: Looking at it it indeed doesn't contain eth1. http://pastebin.com/f7f45e09c
[15:52] <Jack_Sparrow> !puregnome > olskolirc
[15:52] <kristian_> n8tuser : umm, one last question, after auto wlan0 line if i add "iface wlan0 inet dhcp" what will it do, and should i add it?
[15:52] <mker> olskolirc, I had to paste a big list of every package in KDE to do it. I don't remember the link but someone here gave it to me.
[15:52] <iminhell> mker: pixilated as in not breaking the css, or similar to a graphics card overheating or like when satalite tv is weak signal
[15:52] <recon69> AndreasMadrid: cd to the directory and do "insmod ath5k"
[15:53] <n8tuser> AndreasMadrid-> use the full path   sudo insmod  /pull/path/to/ath5k
[15:53] <gnutron> whynot: technically is is not, but yes i'm sure it's there.
[15:53] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: little mistake with thr 'rm -r' command eh. well how about reinstalling that kernel? have you tried that?
[15:53] <mker> iminhell, have you tried the dvd on other computers to see that the problem really is in that one?
[15:53] <iminhell> The DVD plays just fine on the Windows side.
[15:53] <n8tuser> kristian_-> i thought you already have it there, but if not yes add it in to make your wlan retrieve an ip address
[15:53] <DRMacIver> n8tuser: And trying to add it in seems to confuse everything (or at least I lose net access)
[15:54] <iminhell> I've tried 200 some dvd's now. Same results for all.
[15:54] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: try   apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.27-9-generic
[15:54] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: not mistake, i configured a 16MB partition but needed to resize it. if you can tell me how to reinstall grub/linux while evading the 'is not configured errors I get...'
[15:54] <AndreasMadrid> n8tuser: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/95186/
[15:54] <gnutron> whynot: you don't say 'aka' as 'aw-kah' you say A, K, A. follow me. :)
[15:54] <whynot> I need to go.  I'm sleepy.  enjoy ur ubuntu everybody.
[15:54] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: same errors :(
[15:54] <kristian_> n8tuser : nope it wasnt there, so i guess ill add it. ok, thanks for your time. :) i will give this a shot, hope it works! :)
[15:54] <n8tuser> DRMacIver-> add your eth1 in and reboot
[15:55] <recon69> AndreasMadrid: look, the path is wrong. find the ath5k file and cd to that dir, do a "ls" to make sure its there and then "insmod ath5k"
[15:55] <whynot> gnutron/guess what?  I saw my boss(american) pronouncing A.S.A.P as eisep.
[15:55] <melch> Hi i am trying to use the repos to install the nvidia 177 driver for my 9500 gt card. Everytime I do X will not start because it says not screen is found. This is my config file http://paste2.org/p/115411
[15:55] <n8tuser> AndreasMadrid-> you are missing a  "/"   after modules  ...modules2.6.27..
[15:56] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: what error do you get when you try apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.27-9-generic ?  Internal Error: Could not find image (/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-9-generic) ??
[15:56] <AndreasMadrid> recon69, but it's there, i even changed into the path and i sthere when i do lsee it
[15:56] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: http://pastebin.com/m7b52a9c4
[15:56] <mker> iminhell, Just so you know I don't know if I have the answer, I'm just trying to help out so feel free to ignore my ideas :) It's possible that http://www.medibuntu.org/ could help you.
[15:56] <olskolirc> how do I see my desktop menu without logging out - command line please?
[15:56] <gnutron> whynot: that one is an exception to the rule actually. e.g. eh-sap = asap
[15:56] <AndreasMadrid> recon69, but it's there, i even changed into the path and i see it there doing ls
