[00:03] <Bodsda> RootyRootRootW00, lol,.,. ok,,.,. you could run compiz, disable all plugins but the ones needed for the wallpapers?
[00:03] <oeb> Ahh well, ubuntu def does not like running the live cd version on the laptop. Joy of Joys I get to try downloading the other version on Irelands wonderful broadband.
[00:03] <jeff1> Bodsda: i don't use compiz. but thanks
[00:03] <Pimentel-ES> I am incredible! \o/
[00:03] <Bodsda> jeff1, hoow have you got the wallpapaz thing without compiz?
[00:03] <danbhfive> oeb: how much ram do you have?

[00:04] <ahave_AFK> can someone help me understand how to format my un used partitions?
[00:05] <danbhfive> oeb: that _should_ be enough
[00:05] <RootyRootRootW00> BOdsda: It looks like I'm going to try that. this page has alot on it, I'm searching synaptic for wallpapoz, looks like it may run w/o Compiz
[00:05] <Bodsda> jeff1, "It works in Beryl/Compiz session"
[00:05] <Bodsda> RootyRootRootW00, http://wallpapoz.akbarhome.com/
[00:05] <{Nathan}> How can I change the metacity theme via the CLI?
[00:05] <oeb> danbhfive, it's been 'booting' for the last 30 min now. I think I'll have to try the text version installer.
[00:05] <RootyRootRootW00> Dodsda / jeffl : Thanks! am looking
[00:05] <pike_> ahave_AFK: there are a bunch of ways. if youve already created the partitions you can just format em by doing a mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda4 or whatever
[00:05] <Bodsda> np
[00:06] <pike_> ahave_AFK: basically you create partitions from the freespace then format those using mkfs.something to whavever format you want
[00:06] <ahave_AFK> ty pike, i will search for mkfs.ntfs then
[00:06] <trentster> hey all, I am trying to get network-manager-openvpn to work on my desktop, I have noticed that if I do not habve a wireless connection then non of the network-manager options show up in the menu...is this by design and is there any know workaround for using network-manager with wired only connections?
[00:06] <pike_> ahave_AFK: itll take alot of searching :)
[00:06] <Ackdar_> I am unable to connect to the internet. I can access my ISP via screen, but I can't use any programs. They can't seem to notice that there is an internet connection open
[00:06] <ahave_AFK> pike_, oi
[00:07] <ahave_AFK> pike_, is it not straight forward?
[00:07] <pike_> ahave_AFK: not sure how you format ntfs in linux id say youre better off letting windows do it. why do you want ntfs?
[00:07] <wil> how do I change my default apostrophe from > ´ < to > ' < ?
[00:07] <tanath> sometimes when i minimize a window (usually epiphany it seems), X crashes
[00:07] <ahave_AFK> pike_, i want ntfs so that i can easily access file storage on my linux box via samba
[00:08]  * Bodsda thinks a question should end with a question mark,.,.no?
[00:08] <pike_> ahave_AFK: typically if youre using samba you just format it a linux format as the client computer doesnt really care i think
[00:08] <sileni> yay!
[00:08] <Bodsda> !yay
[00:08] <ubotu> Glad you made it! :-)
[00:09] <sileni> its almost working
[00:09] <sileni> thanks bodsda
[00:09] <Bodsda> no probs
[00:09] <razordead> ahave_AFK: pike is right, you don't need NTFS to share stuff via Samba
[00:09] <ahave_AFK> pike_, oh?...
[00:09] <sileni> now when i type ndiswrapper -l it says bcmwl5: driver installed , device present
[00:09] <sileni> i type iwconfig it says eth1
[00:09] <Bodsda> that means things r good
[00:09] <sileni> like eth1 has the things my wireless supposed to have
[00:09] <Bodsda> yer
[00:09] <sileni> and i dont have wireless :( can someone help?
[00:10] <Bodsda> lol
[00:10] <razordead> ahave_AFK: Samba doesn't give access to the files at a low enough level for the filesystem type to matter
[00:10] <pike_> ahave_AFK: just make it ext3
[00:10] <ahave_AFK> razordead, pike_, well shit. i should repartition my drive then.. i blocked off 80% of my drive
[00:10] <pike_> !samba | ahave_AFK
[00:10] <ubotu> ahave_AFK: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.

[00:11] <tators> mysqldump: Got error: 1: Can't create/write to file '/home/andrew/Desktop/cds.txt' (Errcode: 13) when executing 'SELECT INTO OUTFILE'
[00:11] <ahave_AFK> pike_, would it be easier to repartition?
[00:12] <pike_> ahave_AFK: well. if you just want to create a samba share you dont really need a seperate partition at all just a directory
[00:13] <razordead> ahave_AFK: it would be just as easy to use Gparted to delete the NTFS partition & just resize the other partition
[00:13] <pike_> ahave_AFK: maybe ive misunderstood what youre trying to do
 sileni : sudo mysqldump --no-create-info --tab=/home/andrew/Desktop nyvoter cds    <tators> mysqldump: Got error: 1: Can't create/write to file '/home/andrew/Desktop/cds.txt' (Errcode: 13) when executing 'SELECT INTO OUTFILE'
[00:13] <sileni> dude
[00:13] <ahave_AFK> pike_, razordead, right now it is just unformatted space
[00:13] <sileni> i was joking, im a begginer to linux
[00:13] <tators> oh
[00:13] <sileni> sorry didnt mean to get your hopes up
[00:13] <tators> =[
[00:14] <razordead> ahave_AFK: then just resize the other partition to take up that space
[00:14] <ahave_AFK> razordead, what is a good utl to do that? I am not sure if i put my swap part in the middle...
[00:14] <tators> How do I give mysqldump permission to write to my desktop
[00:15] <razordead> ahave_AFK: either boot from your Ubuntu livecd or a Gparted livecd & use Gparted to do it
[00:15] <MasterMel> Bodsda: it looks like my elisa install is working perfect now.. but now next problem.. NO SOUND! aaargh!.. Just  checked if the drivers were installed: they are..

[00:16] <razordead> MasterMel: is your sound from a USB device?
[00:16] <chaosrl> does anyone know why my spreadsheet applicaitons can't save? they close whenever i want try to save, losing all data. both gnumeric and OO spreadsheet do this.
[00:16] <tcpdumpgod> tators, Check the file ownerships and permissions of the mysql data directory and the files/directories under it.
[00:16] <MasterMel> razorhead: yes it is form a usb device
[00:17] <RootyRootRootW00> Bodsda: how do I run the setup.py file pls?

[00:20] <bruenig> greencookie, not a big deal of difference
[00:20] <greencookie> no bruenig?
[00:20] <Pelo> greencookie,  you think of vista as a vacation ????
[00:20] <razordead> MasterMel: this worked for me with USB audio http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3015147&postcount=5
[00:20] <greencookie> lol well I tried to make Ubuntu work for me. like 20 times!
[00:21] <greencookie> But I've never gotten my ATI X1300 card to enable 3d
[00:21] <HangukMiguk> is there any way to have rhythmbox display now playing information in commandline?
[00:21] <MasterMel> razordead: looks good.. i'll give it a try
[00:21] <koolkat> as
[00:21] <greencookie> so I had to install vista to take my mind off the problem
[00:21] <greencookie> :)
[00:21] <koolkat> how many people use irc for ubuntu?
[00:21] <greencookie> that plus I'm a linux newbie, so dunno much:) but know enough:)
[00:21] <chaosrl> does anyone know how to fix a segmentation fault on save with gnumeric?

[00:23] <D-Spair> Hey gang, another problem. I just tried to install the build-essential package and the packages downloaded, but the unpacking is hanging. Any ideas?
[00:23] <HangukMiguk> is there any way to have rhythmbox display now playing information in commandline?
[00:23] <greencookie> I have tried the Binary How-tos for ATI but no success is there any other option to enable 3d for my ATI X1300?
[00:23] <koolkat> thnaks
[00:24] <bruenig> HangukMiguk, check rhythmbox -h for usage info, a lot of players have such things but rhythmbox being gnome and having the gnome philosophy of "don't add that feature, it will make people's head explode", it might not
[00:24] <Pelo> greencookie,  I recommend researching the problem in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org
[00:24] <greencookie> Ok Pelo will do. Thanks.
[00:25] <HangukMiguk> bruenig: i tried that, found nothing.  i'm wanting to display my current track in conky without having to switch to audacious or xmms, anyone know of a script?
[00:25] <koolkat> nope
[00:25] <bruenig> HangukMiguk, you wouldn't want to do that in that manner
[00:26] <HangukMiguk> bruenig: how should i do it?
[00:26] <bruenig> HangukMiguk, your cpu will thank you
[00:26] <koolkat> whats up
[00:26] <bruenig> well xmms works (I believe) by writing a text file everytime it changes a track which is what those monitors use
[00:27] <bruenig> but running rhythmbox all of the time to get that info would make your computer cry
[00:27] <koolkat> any one here from missouri?
[00:27] <frijolie> awe man, on the freshly installed Gutsy box I can't get internet connectivity via wired or wireless NIC
[00:27] <bruenig> !ot | koolkat
[00:27] <ubotu> koolkat: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[00:27] <Pelo> koolkat,  this isnT' realy a meet and greet channel
[00:27] <frijolie> any ideas where to start?
[00:27] <HangukMiguk> bruenig: that's the problem, i'd use xmms if it would support my AAC files
[00:28] <HangukMiguk> bruenig: rhythmbox is the only one i've found to support it
[00:28] <dward526> Hanguk:  Is there not a plug in for xmms for that
[00:28] <bruenig> HangukMiguk, ok... figure something out, I am just saying rhythmbox is not viable for what you are talking about, I use sonata + mpd and conky has built in goodness for mpd
[00:28] <HangukMiguk> bruenig: link me to mpd?
[00:28] <HangukMiguk> or is it in apt?
[00:29] <bruenig> HangukMiguk, I don't know if ubuntu doesn't compile in aac support or something but there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to find a plethora of players which can use it seeing as most players just use one of the few codec backends which aac would be supported for
[00:29] <bruenig> HangukMiguk, it might be in apt, I don't use ubuntu
[00:29] <Survivorman> It's in apt
[00:29] <BagelMaster> All the music players I have tried skip when I play files, particularly when I am opening a new page in Firefox, is there a way to rectify that?
[00:29] <dward526> HangukMiguk:  search for xmms plugin for aac
[00:29] <HangukMiguk> bruenig: hmmmm, well i know my gstreamer plugins make it work. if xmms has the plugins, i could use that

[00:33] <muramasa> Ok - even though the fact I will probably be marked as a retard from this question - where do I find the ~\.xchat2 folder in linux?（or ~\.emacs)
[00:34] <Starnestommy> muramasa: they're /'s, not \'s
[00:34] <Survivorman> /home/somename/.xchat2
[00:34] <Pelo> dabbill,  the latest wine 0.9.55 isn'T out yet in .deb format,  if you installed it I assume you must have compiled the source,  I suggest you installed the previous verson again and wait for it to update automaticaly
[00:34] <muramasa> well, that didn't make me look smarter, did it :-)
[00:35] <arooni> how do i open .mid files (midi songs)
[00:35] <ahave_AFK> pike_, I am using the liveCD partitioner.. what do i need to call my mount point?

[00:35] <dabbill> i have removed, purged, and installed multi times still nothing, all i can do is browse the "C" drive.... i cant even get the wine config up
[00:35] <ph0rensic> Monster_java, indentify
[00:35] <ahave_AFK> pike_, i think i just want to have it show up as a seperate drive.. my swap partition is in the way so i can not combine
[00:35] <razordead> MasterMel: no problem, I was glad to find that fix myself... hopefully that can be fixed in the Ubuntu installer
[00:36] <dabbill> http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb
[00:36] <pike_> ahave_AFK: anything really youll just need to make sure you create the dir when you boot back to ubuntu like sudo mkdir /media/shared or something
[00:36] <muramasa> Survivorman, does that mean I should create one if there's no folder there already? Trying to put a python script inside the folder, so it loads each time x-chat starts
[00:37] <ahave_AFK> pike_, will it automaticly mount any ext3 partitions it sees?
[00:37] <paul__> hello I'm new to ubuntu
[00:37] <Pelo> dabbill, yes, that only gets you 0.9.54 , not the very very latest which is 0.9.55 out only last week

[00:37] <Pelo> hello paul__  welcome to the madhouse
[00:37] <dabbill> ahh okay, well thats the last one that I installed.
[00:38] <Starnestommy> MasterMel: if you have ntfs-3g, it should be able to

[00:38] <paul__> I have a question is any one could help
[00:38] <pike_> ahave_AFK: it should i think under like /media/hda3 or whatever but may not
[00:38] <dabbill> Pelo, still not working for me tho :(
[00:38] <Pelo> paul__, just ask the question and if anyone can answer they will try
[00:38] <arooni> Pelo, doesnt work; got another program?
[00:38] <Pelo> dabbill,  what are you trying to run on wine ?
[00:38] <dabbill> Pelo, warcraft 3
[00:38] <Pelo> arooni, try bmp
[00:38] <dabbill> Pelo, but i cant even get the wine configuration window to open
[00:38] <Pelo> dabbill, what command line are you using to start it ?
[00:39] <paul__> need to install emc2 on my system, I'm not up on the linux lingo yet
[00:39] <Pelo> paul__,  what is emc2?
[00:39] <sputnick> hi
[00:39] <dabbill> Pelo, clicking configure wine from my applications menu for 1, and second i was tryin to use the short cut made on my desktop from when i installed warcraft 3 last night
[00:40] <Pelo> dabbill, open the terminal and type  winecfg
[00:40] <dabbill> Pelo, exec: 29: /usr/bin/wine: not found
[00:40] <sputnick> is there any "ubuntu-reference" like "debian-reference" ? this is an installable full doc for systems
[00:40] <Pelo> dabbill, how did you install wine ?
[00:40] <paul__> It is a linux/ ubuntu CNC control program. It is highly rated. I'm going to atemp to build a homemade CNC router
[00:41] <greencookie> will using proprietary drivers for my ATI X1300 card give me problems?
[00:41] <dabbill> Pelo, sudo aptitude install wine
[00:41] <Pelo> dabbill,  sudo apttitude remove wine --purge ,  then try again
[00:41] <warriorforgod> Would ubuntu block pidgin by default?
[00:41] <Pelo> dabbill,  are you sure you picked the correct 3rdparty repos for your version of ubuntu ?
[00:41] <sputnick> nopze
[00:41] <IndyGunFreak> warriorforgod: what do you mean block pidgin?
[00:42] <dabbill> Pelo, yea 7.10
[00:42] <Pelo>  paul__  where did you get the package for emc2 ? not in the ubuntu repos I assume
[00:42] <warriorforgod> IndyGunFreak: Well, my nephew just installed ubuntu and is trying to log onto his msn addy through pidgin, but it is complaining about connection errors.  He has internet access otherwise.
[00:42] <Adys> Is there any program that can force wallpaper positioning on ubuntu?
[00:42] <sputnick> apt-file search -l emc2           pelo
[00:42] <D-Spair> OK, in case anyone was interested. The problem with my virtual machine was the "Virtual SCSI Adapter". I originally had it set to be an LSI Logic adapter and after switching to BusLogic everything appears to be more reliable.
[00:42] <IndyGunFreak> warriorforgod: then he has not configured his account correctly
[00:42] <dabbill> Pelo, it was working fine for the past week, but stoped when i rebooted this morning after an update from ubuntu
[00:43] <Pelo> dabbill,  I suggest you remove the third party repos for now and try with the version of wine in the official ubuntu repos
[00:43] <IndyGunFreak> warriorforgod: i'm on my msn account no probs
[00:43] <MasterMel> i just connected my extern usb hdd (NTFS) to fresh installed ubuntu.. and the message was.. could not mount extern device :( Thats really bad news man
[00:43] <Starnestommy> warriorforgod: it should be able to connect to MSN unless a firewall or router is blocking it
[00:43] <Pelo> dabbill, reinstall it then
[00:43] <warriorforgod> IndyGunFreak: That is what I was thinking.  Anyways, next question.  Did the 64 bit vnc issue ever get fixed?
[00:43] <IndyGunFreak> Starnestommy: even then, i don'tt hink that will be an issue.
[00:43] <IndyGunFreak> warriorforgod: no clue on the 64bit.
[00:44] <IndyGunFreak> warriorforgod: ask him if for his username, is he using his entire user name... like mine is<EMAIL_ADDRESS>if i just have "indygunfreak" it wont' connect me
[00:44] <Pelo> paul__,  still with us ?
[00:44] <paul__> On the website http://www.linuxcnc.org/ CNC Linux\
[00:44] <IndyGunFreak> then of course, make sure the password is correct
[00:44] <adorablepuppy> how do I install ncurses through apt-get?
[00:44] <Pelo> paul__,  hold on , let me check
[00:44] <dabbill> Pelo, still getting the same thing
[00:44] <paul__> yep sorry it takes me a while I'm a old PC guy
[00:44] <Starnestommy> adorablepuppy: sudo apt-get install ncurses ncurses-dev?
[00:44] <ahave_AFK> if i have a 1 GB memory stick, how large should i make my swap partition?
[00:44] <Pelo> adorablepuppy, sudo apt-get install ncurses , assuming it is in the repos
[00:44] <dabbill> Pelo, its installing 0.9.46
[00:45] <IndyGunFreak> ahave_AFK: 2-3gigs
[00:45] <Pelo> dabbill, yes but the package was made by the ubuntu dev
[00:45] <pike_> ahave_AFK: 1-2gigs
[00:45] <ahave_AFK> IndyGunFreak, why so much?
[00:45] <IndyGunFreak> *thats what i meant, 1-2
[00:45] <IndyGunFreak> sorry
[00:45] <pike_> ahave_AFK: IndyGunFreak is trying to trick you
[00:45] <IndyGunFreak> didn't realize my fingers got crossed
[00:45] <IndyGunFreak> 1.5-2x the amount of your memory
[00:46] <IndyGunFreak> pike_: na, just wasn't paying attention to where my fingers were walking
[00:46] <dabbill> Pelo, i just opened software sources, deleted the wineHQ entrys, sudo aptitude update, sudo aptitude remove wine --purge then sudo aptitude install wine
[00:46] <dabbill> Pelo, still says exec: 29: /usr/bin/wine: not found
[00:46] <Pelo> paul__,  from that site it doesn't look like a standard install but they do seem to have fairly complete instructions,  I would suggest you try reading and following them
[00:47] <paul__> I have downloaded both the CD iso live version and the single release. I just don't know how to install is. even with reading the instruction
[00:47] <anonB> I have a version 7.04 install CD ... will there be much hassle in installing that and updating to 7.10, or should I just get the 7.10 CD?
[00:47] <giami> helo
[00:47] <Pelo> dabbill, go and look in /usr/bin , see if you can see it
[00:47] <chimp_in_basemen> oioi
[00:47] <ph0rensic> anonB: Better to DL the newer install disc
[00:47] <Starnestommy> anonB: getting the 7.10 disc should be easier
[00:47] <Pelo> anonB,  I prefer upgrading from the cd myself,  online upgrade can be long and tedious
[00:47] <anonB> ph0rensic  and Starnestommy ok ... my only problem is limited bandwidth
[00:48] <dabbill> Pelo, wine and winecfg are listed there
[00:48] <ph0rensic> anonB: No one else around with better bandwidth?
[00:48] <Pelo> dabbill, check the permissions for them
[00:48] <ahave_AFK> anonB, you will have to download no matter what.. might as well store a copy via CD
[00:48] <_Lucretia_> i'm back, in gutsy, thanks to all who helped, didn't need the extra deb's
[00:48] <dabbill> Pelo, dont remember how to do that
[00:48] <anonB> ph0rensic I'll be a' looking for someone now
[00:48] <paul__> see ya, thanks
[00:48] <Pelo> dabbill, rigght click properties
[00:48] <anonB> ahave_AFK yes, that is true. Ok, I'm convinced. Thanks everyone
[00:49] <ph0rensic> anonB: Yes you have to download anyway, plus new install is always best.. save you time later
[00:49] <dabbill> i was doing it in terminal, gimmie a sec i will browse to it
[00:49] <Pelo> dabbill,  I woudln't know how to do it in cli either
[00:49] <OmegaCenti> How do you REALLY hide a folder in Ubuntu?
[00:50] <_Lucretia_> I have added "SYSFS{idVendor}=="04e8", SYSFS{idProduct}=="5083", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", MODE="660", GROUP="audio"" this to the /etc/udev/rules/libmtp.rules file, do I need to reboot for it to take effect or should a simple "sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart" work?
[00:50] <_Lucretia_> that line is for a Samsung YP-P2 player
[00:50] <dabbill> Pelo, ls -l gives you permissions, but i dont remember how it breaks down
[00:50] <Pelo> OmegaCenti,  put a dot before the folder name like /home/username/.wine
[00:50] <dabbill> Pelo, -rwxr-xr-x  1 root   root      14766 2007-10-10 15:22 wine
[00:51] <leal> hello all
[00:51] <kyle__> _Lucretia_, try latter, then if that fails, do former
[00:51] <leal> somebody knows "one" howto that works about configuring radeon 9600 + compiz fusion on gutsy?
[00:51] <OmegaCenti> Pelo: you can still list that folder on with ls -al, I am wondering if you can REALLY hide a folder.
[00:51] <Pelo> dabbill, I think it  root , current user , others,   this is what I get  -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4856 2008-01-25 20:00 wine
[00:52] <_Lucretia_> kyle__: tried a restart of udev, then mtp-detect - couldn't find anything, thing is, the p2 is charging at the moment, so don't really want to interrupt
[00:52] <Pelo> OmegaCenti, you want encryption
[00:52] <greencookie> I've connected an external Hard Drive to my puter. how do I browse it?
[00:52] <leal> when i install the xserver-xgl, the desktop works in slow motion
[00:52] <dabbill> Pelo, whitch is the same as what i got for it
[00:52] <kyle__> OmegaCenti, "really hide"?
[00:52] <Pelo> greencookie, mount it
[00:52] <OmegaCenti> kyle__: like if someone looks for a folder, they can't even find it.
[00:52] <Pelo> dabbill, very odd
[00:52] <dabbill> Pelo, Owner root, Access read and right, group root, access read only, others access read only
[00:52] <Pelo> dabbill,  I'm stumped
[00:52] <Liono> can i allow 4 apps to run, some file sharings , a shutdown button on destkopand NONE else on clients.. i mean none.... no right clicks no kmenu. .. nothing. possible?
[00:53] <Pelo> dabbill,  you need for owner root to havwe read write execute
[00:53] <kyle__> OmegaCenti, are you concerned about on the HD?
[00:53] <OmegaCenti> kyle__: yes, a folder on the HD.
[00:53] <kyle__> OmegaCenti, er, sorry, rephrasing
[00:53] <Pelo> Liono, yes , how  don'T quite know
[00:54] <adorablepupp2> ahem, disconnected. How can I install ncurses through apt-get, it says that it's obseleted but I need it to build an application
[00:54] <Liono> Pelo ok
[00:54] <kyle__> OmegaCenti, are you concerned about possible hard drive recovery of the folder name and of what is in the folder?
[00:54] <Pelo> Liono, don't start nautilus, don't start gnome pannel,  don't start other stuff but I'm at a lost
[00:54] <jrib> adorablepupp2: apt-cache search 19:54 <-- ben__<EMAIL_ADDRESS>has quit (Remote closed the connection)

[00:55] <jrib> adorablepupp2: apt-cache search -n lib ncurses dev
[00:55] <Pelo> Liono,  you can probably just make a user with very very very limited access
[00:55] <Liono> !nautilus
[00:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nautilus - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:55] <Pelo> greencookie, usb ?
[00:55] <leal> there is a better channel to ask about fusion?

[00:55] <OmegaCenti> kyle__: no, I want to hide a folder's existance from other users who are not root
[00:55] <dabbill> Pelo, Synaptic package manager shows wine as installed as well
[00:56] <speeddemon8803> I shoulda pointed that to leal but hey you guys get the idea :)
[00:56] <greencookie> Pelo yes USB
[00:56] <speeddemon8803> sorry about that!
[00:56] <frojnd> hello there
[00:56] <Pelo> Liono, I'M not too knowleageble about this ,  nautilus is the file browser,   check in menu > system> admin > users ,   see the permissions users generaly have ,  you can probably make a new user with very little of those
[00:56] <mike> can someone help me, im trying to connect to my ubuntu server via windows and its keeps asking a password, my username is mike, the computer name is server i already did the sudo smbpasswd -a mike and that did not seem to do anything

[00:59] <kyle__> Gun_Smoke, close all programs and documents
[00:59] <jrib> !helpme | drew17112
[00:59] <ubotu> drew17112: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience
[01:00] <Gun_Smoke> mike:  Pretty much what I want is to stop X.  And then when I want it again I'll start it. (startx)
[01:00] <anonB> Zeddie doh :)
[01:00] <Liono> can i allow 4 apps to run, some file sharings , a shutdown button on destkopand NONE else on clients.. i mean none.... no right clicks no kmenu. .. nothing. possible?
[01:00] <anonB> speeddemon8803 I have a fast connection, but here in australia we have limits on bandwidth (download limits) I'm almost used up for my month
[01:00] <Zeddie> anonB: you know it's on most ISP's free mirrors right? if you've got broadband?
[01:00] <kyle__> Gun_Smoke, close all programs and documents, then type in Terminal sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[01:01] <frojnd> How cam I set my computer which has a wireless card ralink set as wifi acces point ?
[01:01] <dabbill> Pelo, Okay just restarted and Synaptic shows wine as not installed

[01:01] <tantric132> hey everyone I'm having a problem with Ubuntu...can someone help?
[01:01] <kyle__> Liono, what are these 4 apps?
[01:01] <Pelo> Liono,  also consider asking in #kubuntu and #kde since you seem to be using kde
[01:01] <dabbill> Pelo, should i install with Synaptic or in terminal
[01:01] <mike> tantric132: we can try
[01:01] <speeddemon8803> !help | tantric132

[01:01] <Pelo> dabbill, use synatic
[01:01] <Zeddie> anonB: you missed the bit about free mirrors :) , I mean they don't count the traffic
[01:01] <speeddemon8803> !ask | tantric132
[01:01] <ubotu> tantric132: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[01:01] <Zeddie> I know internode doesn't from their mirror and that iiNet is the same
[01:01] <Liono> kyle__ any. eg firefox. mplayer.    acces to use and a shared file. internet provided by server. etc ?
[01:02] <kyle__> Gun_Smoke, when u want to start again sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[01:02] <anonB> Zeddie not in my situation. Long sorry story, but to make it short I have 3 mobile broadband .. no peers or mirrors
[01:02] <Zeddie> poor bugger :(
[01:02] <anonB> Zeddie well, much better than finding out I was on a RIM and connecting at 26.4Kbps for the first month!
[01:02] <tantric132> I just installed the video driver that was listed under the Restricted Driver and after reboot, my moniter keeps saying that the signal is out of range(i'm assuming the resolution is out of wack). Can anyone tell me the steps/commands to type in safe mode to change that or another solution?
[01:02] <Joelito> can anyone tell me what version of the kernel comes in the default installatio of ubuntu 7.10?
[01:03] <kyle__> Liono, so only 4 apps running at the same time?
[01:03] <KE7LNU> best program for watching my internet connection. lan cable modem ??????
[01:03] <greencookie> Pelo : here's my external drive as listed by blkid /dev/sdb1: UUID="6B6C8A2B6C89419" LABEL="External Drive" TYPE="ntfs"
[01:03] <dabbill> Pelo, Just installed, still getting the same error in terminal for winecfg
[01:03] <Liono> kyle__ ya . or any one of them
[01:03] <Dr_willis> KE7LNU,  watching it do what exactly? :)
[01:03] <Starnestommy> Joelito: I think 2.6.22
[01:03] <greencookie> Pelo so I should now create a mount directory and continue mounting it?
[01:03] <KE7LNU> just activity
[01:03] <KE7LNU> ports and stuff
[01:04] <Pelo> greencookie,  sudo mkdir /media/ntfs-usb   then  sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /media/ntfs-usb
[01:04] <kyle__> Liono, so you want e.g. 4 firefoxes running at the same time OR 4 seperate programs running at the same time? (I'll go look for some solution)
[01:04] <Pelo> dabbill,  I just don'T know , maybe try asking in #winehq
[01:04] <Joelito> Starnestommy, ok, thanks
[01:04] <Dr_willis> KE7LNU,  may want to check out conky, or gkrellm, theres proberly a dozen other network monitor tools out that are specifically for networks. Tje 2 i mentioned are general system moniotrs that can monitor some network things
[01:05] <dabbill> thanks for trying Pelo
[01:05] <KE7LNU> gkrellm is available??
[01:05] <OmegaCenti> I want to  completely hide a folder's existance from other users who are not root. Any suggestions besides a . in front of the name?
[01:05] <greencookie> Pelo: Failed due to " Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use."
[01:05] <Liono> kyle__ i need only 4 allowable. any or all 4 could run
[01:05] <Liono> but not any other
[01:05] <Pelo> dabbill, i had to restart after an kernel update today myself and I have had no issue
[01:05] <KE7LNU> thanks doc
[01:06] <Gun_Smoke> mike: /etc/init.d/kdm stop does it.
[01:06] <Liono> kyle__  privilages........
[01:06] <chaosrl> does anyone know how to uninstall all traces of kde from ubuntu? i tried it out and didn't like it
[01:06] <Pelo> greencookie, it would appear that the usb drive is already mounted,  check on your desktop for an icon for it
[01:06] <putnum> who do i need to contact for info on how to create a LoCo team in my area for ubuntu?
[01:06] <mike> thanks Gun_smoke im been doing it wrong for a long time now ;-)
[01:06] <greencookie> Pelo: It worked! woot. I had to force it with " mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/ntfs-usb -o force"
[01:06] <drew17112>  a problem I have. I have firestarter installed and my events tab is full of blocked connections to random ports and most of them go to somewhere called unknown.scnet.net. Im trying to setup samba over hamachi to share files and it wont work. ANY help would be apprectiated
[01:06] <greencookie> THanks a ton for the support Pelo
[01:06] <Gun_Smoke> chaosrl: Did you if you used aptitude to install it's as easy as aptitude remove kde
[01:07]  * Pelo is tired of gratitude , he wants cash
[01:07] <Gun_Smoke> mike: To simple restart X Ctrl alt backspace is just fine..
[01:07] <chaosrl> Gun_Smoke: i tried removing kde4-core; it only removed that package, and not the actually apps, etc. i'm not sure which apps kde4-core installed :(
[01:07] <Gun_Smoke> run aptitude as root and look
[01:08] <Gun_Smoke> chaosrl: ^^
[01:08] <putnum> sudo apt-get remove kde4-core
[01:08] <putnum> try that
[01:08] <tantric132> I just installed the video driver that was listed under the Restricted Driver and after reboot, my moniter keeps saying that the signal is out of range(i'm assuming the resolution is out of wack). Can you tell me the steps/commands to type in safe mode terminal to fix it? Possibly change the resolution?
[01:09] <chaosrl> Gun_Smoke: a search in terminal for kde with aptitude yields a really long list; should i just go trhough and uninstall each thing i have installed?
[01:09] <greencookie> Why wont Rhythmbox play my lastfm streams? I Just installed Ubuntu Gutsy fresh! do I have to configure codecs?
[01:09] <Gun_Smoke> chaosrl: Well there is a chance that would work.. But you will dump a lot of stuff you might want.. Amarok for example depends on some kde lib's.
[01:10] <ari_stress> morning
[01:10] <OmegaCenti> I want to  completely hide a folder's existance from other users who are not root. Any suggestions besides a . in front of the name?
[01:10] <chaosrl> Gun_Smoke, putnum: i think i got it. putnum's command told me to use apt-get autoremove, which i think took care of most of the apps
[01:10] <Pelo> OmegaCenti, I think what would be a permission thing,  just set it to 750 I think
[01:10] <jrib> OmegaCenti: don't give them any permissions on the parent directory
[01:11] <frojnd> How cam I set my computer which has a wireless card ralink set as wifi acces point ? anyone ??
[01:11] <tantric132> Pelo, maybe you can help me yet again. I just installed the video driver that was listed under the Restricted Driver and after reboot, my moniter keeps saying that the signal is out of range(i'm assuming the resolution is out of wack). Can you tell me the steps/commands to type in safe mode terminal to fix it? Possibly change the resolution?
[01:11] <Pelo> OmegaCenti, or possibly 700 ,  where only owner/root with have r w x access and the onther no access at all , even read
[01:11] <drew17112> frojnd i think i may be able to help
[01:11] <Pelo> tantric132, what driiver was it ?
[01:11] <Pelo> tantric132, what video card model I mean ?
[01:11] <frojnd> drew17112,  that's great
[01:12] <tantric132> Not sure, my video card is a nVidia 6600 GT. it said it was a driver from the manufactur
[01:12] <tantric132> of the video card
[01:12] <OmegaCenti> jrib: but then doesn't that cause all files/folders inside of said parent folder to be not viewable?
[01:13] <_Lucretia_> kyle__: no, that didn't work either
[01:13] <drew17112> frojnd: try using this article

[01:14] <frojnd> drew17112, thanx for the article
[01:14] <Pelo> tantric132, I don't know how you will go about changing it but , out of range usualy means that the horiz sync and/or vert rez values are not correct for your monitor,  I suggest you check the label at the back of your monitor for the correct settings  ( sometimes listed as v and h ) and change xorg.conf accordingly , the settings should be listed under   device monitor  as ranges ,  make sure the range reaches to your monitors capabilites,  what I am not sure a
[01:14] <Pelo> bout is if nvidia restriected drivers use xorg , you'll have to test it
[01:15] <mike> can someone tell my how to completly reinstall samba EVERYTHING

[01:15] <drew17112> mike: did u try "sudo apt-get remove samba*" then "sudo apt-get install samba*"
[01:15] <Dr_willis> mike,  to what goal?  you can use the purge option, and reinstall whatever samba related packages you want
[01:16] <NeutrinoMuonico> lots and lots and lots of people
[01:16] <tantric132> Pelo, I'm not sure what xorg is. xorg.config i think? i heard I could change the resolution there, but your sayuing thats not the problem.
[01:16] <Dr_willis> removing/reinstalling proberly wont fix much of anything.
[01:16] <OmegaCenti> I want to  completely hide a folder's existance from other users who are not root. Any suggestions besides a . in front of the name?
[01:16] <Dr_willis> Unless  You accidently deleted stuff you shouldent of.
[01:16] <moparfan90> how do i open a file with the extension  .r00, .r01....
[01:16] <mike> Dr_willis: i have been trying to get it to talk to my windows laptop and have screwed so many things up
[01:16] <squee> OmegaCenti, truecrypt
[01:16] <Dr_willis> OmegaCenti,  put it in a directory they cant cd into.
[01:16] <Pelo> tantric132, xorg.conf is a configuration file for xserver  type gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:17] <Pelo> tantric132,  I am assuming you have a gui at the moment
[01:17] <squee> Is there a way to set the firefox homepage through the terminal?
[01:17] <Dr_willis> mike,  there is the 'using samba' book in html format in the repos. and online.  It all depends on what you screwed up i guess. :)  that book is a must read for power-samba users. :)
[01:17] <Pelo> squee, ask in #firefox
[01:17] <squee> alright
[01:17] <NeutrinoMuonico> moparfan90, isn't that .rar files split into many files?
[01:17] <moparfan90> yes
[01:17] <Dr_willis> unrar OPTIUONS whatever.r00
[01:18] <mike> Dr_willis thanks i will look for that is that on the ubuntuforums then sorry im really new
[01:18] <Dr_willis> will get them all.
[01:18] <moparfan90> when i try to open it i get an error
[01:18] <moparfan90> let me try again
[01:18] <tantric132> Pelo, after typing that in in the terminal, then what?
[01:18] <NeutrinoMuonico> that'll do
[01:18] <Dr_willis> mike,  its in the repos. and avail online. In fact the samba-doc package int he repos has several books on samba
[01:18] <Dr_willis> !info samba-doc
[01:18] <ubotu> samba-doc (source: samba): Samba documentation. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.26a-1ubuntu2.3 (gutsy), package size 6816 kB, installed size 14752 kB
[01:18] <Pelo> tantric132,  you got the xorg.conf file open , browse your way to where it says , device MONITOR
[01:18] <Dr_willis> Samba is just one of those tools - it pays to read the docs/books for. :)
[01:19] <Pelo> tantric132, find  horiz sync   there are two values next to it ,  make sure they match the ones on the back of your monitor
[01:19] <drew17112>  I have firestarter installed and my events tab is full of blocked connections to random ports and most of them go to somewhere called unknown.scnet.net. Im trying to setup samba over hamachi to share files and it wont work. ANY help would be apprectiated
[01:19] <tantric132> Pelo, ok let me go try hat brb
[01:19] <Dr_willis> Now if ONLY i could figure out why my samba server shows "Publicfiles.exe' and 'PublicFiles.com' and 'PublicFiles.pif' in addation to my 'publicfiles' share......
[01:20]  * Dr_willis wonders what hamachi is.
[01:20] <Pelo> drew17112,  firestarter is just a front end for iptables  it's not the actual firewall ,  there is nothing enabled by default
[01:20] <squee> Dr_willis, hamachi is a program that essentially creates a vlan between you and whoever you set it up with
[01:22] <dabbill> I just tried to reinstall wine and getting dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/ia32-libs_2.1ubuntu3_amd64.deb (--unpack):

[01:23] <dabbill> winehq pretty much said my 32libs are hosed
[01:23] <KE7LNU> best file sys for ubuntu/ normal user??
[01:23] <Pelo> dabbill, you should have mentionned that first , did you get the correctwine from the winehq site, there is a special wine for amd64
[01:23] <tantric132> Pelo, it says GTK WARNING cannot display. Remember, I'm in Ubuntu Safemode(or Recovery..what ever its called where its a black screen and its commands)
[01:23] <bruenig> KE7LNU, ext3 for a solid reliable fs
[01:24] <rbd> hey guys. ubuntu 7.10, x64, asterisk 1.4.10. I've been trying to compile asterisk's app_swift for awhile and have been getting some WEIRD header errors: http://pastebin.com/d21b4d39f    ...can anyone offer any ideas ...looks to me like something screwy with the kernel headers (or which kernel headers app_swift is referencing)
[01:24] <KE7LNU> thanks man...
[01:24] <Pelo> tantric132,   sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf ,   that will let you edit in text mode
[01:24] <tantric132> Pelo, ok, going to try that
[01:24] <dabbill> Pelo, i have just been useing aptitude the whole time
[01:24] <Pelo> tantric132, if you can't fix it I will tell you how to get back the vesa driver that will at least get you a gui
[01:24] <Pelo> dabbill, hold on
[01:25] <kavelot> I want to create a backup Live CD with remastersys, but I'm guessing the X video configuration won't be correct for every computer... how can I set ubuntu to auto-detect video settings when booting?
[01:25] <Pelo> dabbill,  reinstall wine using these instructions  http://wiki.winehq.org/UbuntuAMD64
[01:25] <dabbill> Pelo did that already
[01:26] <two_bits> i have a newbish question about ubuntu... how do I change file associations?
[01:26] <bruenig> two_bits, you mean who owns it?
[01:26] <two_bits> for example, make a torrent file open with azurus instead of the default torrent program
[01:26] <Pelo> dabbill, read tej second command on that page,  you don'T insetall using aptituide,  you must use dpkg with a special option
[01:26] <anka-ar> hi
[01:27] <bruenig> two_bits, that is generally configured within the file manager, and most file managers would have you right click on the file, and edit "properties"
[01:27] <Pelo> anka-ar, hi
[01:27] <wil_> #wine
[01:27] <wil_> ahh
[01:27] <Pelo> wil_, #winehq
[01:27] <anka-ar> in gnome, there is a way to arrange the windows like tiles or cascade?
[01:27] <Dr_willis> anka-ar,  not that ive noticed.
[01:27] <wil_> lol, thanks
[01:27] <two_bits> bruenig: ah, thank you. do you know how to do it under gnome, perhaps?
[01:27] <the_darkside_986> does anyone know when KDE 4.01 will be in the repositories? i want to try it w/o installing a new OS or building it from source :P
[01:27] <Pelo> anka-ar, not that I know of
[01:27] <bruenig> anka-ar, use a tiling window manager, like dwm or xmonad
[01:27] <Dr_willis> anka-ar,  some window managers i know have that feature. There may be a compiz plugin/tool that might do it.
[01:28] <two_bits> bruenig: nevermind, thank you
[01:28] <anka-ar> but i hate compiz
[01:28] <anka-ar> :P
[01:28] <Pelo> the_darkside_986,  only with the next release, version do not get updated only fixes and security stuff
[01:28] <Pelo> brb
[01:28] <bruenig> look at how pretty xmonad is: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/64/Xmonad-tall-status-dons.png
[01:28] <bruenig> or dwm: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/17/Dwm-screenshot.png
[01:29] <Pelo> anka-ar,  don't use compiz then
[01:29] <anka-ar> :P
[01:29] <jvai> we need a pure fluxbox ubuntu with eyecandy!
[01:29] <eck090> Evening
[01:29] <the_darkside_986> also, i am having trouble with my installation of KDE 3.5.8 in Ubuntu Gutsy. I can't get the Home or Computer icons to show up on the KDE desktop
[01:29] <KE7LNU> stupid que: does ubuntu 8 come with any firewall by default install?????
[01:29] <tantric132> Pelo, I hate to keep bothering you with the noobish questions but I can't figure out how to navegate in sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf. at the bottom of the screen it says like ^G Help and stuff like that but when I type it in nothing happens but a line break
[01:29] <Pelo> the_darkside_986, ask in #kubuntu
[01:29] <eck090> i have having a bit of trouble installing Wine. Having a problem with gcc
[01:30] <jescis> hello, I can't get my neighbors wireless card to connect to my modem/router, he has a belkin that says it's an AR2413
[01:30] <Dr_willis> KE7LNU,  No firewalling rules are enavbled by default. The 'feature' is there.  but no rules are set
[01:30] <the_darkside_986> @Pelo thanks... i had no idea what the right channel was because i figured Kubuntu is set up differently but ok
[01:30] <Dr_willis> !firewall | KE7LNU
[01:30] <Pelo> tantric132, that means  ctrl+G
[01:30] <ubotu> KE7LNU: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).

[01:30] <Pelo> dabbill, you're on your own from this point on
[01:30] <jacob> is there a way where bashee can constantly monitor a folder for new music without having to restart the program?
[01:31] <Dr_willis> anka-ar,   if its a must have feature - you could use some other window manager - other then metacity
[01:31] <dabbill> no other ideas

[01:38] <tantric132> Pelo, in the xorg, the Horizsyn= 30-70. Vertrfresh=50-160. I looked at the back of the screen and the only thing I saw really was 100-240V and 60.50Hz 1.5A. I do have the website for the monitor though: http://www.viewsonic.com/products/desktopdisplays/lcddisplays/optiquest/q7b/#specs
[01:38] <Pelo> aO|DB,  I recommend  5-10 gig for the root partiton in ext3,  2xram for swap and the rest for /home in ext3
[01:38] <patogen> Why is a program like lobster still in the repos?
[01:38] <Pelo> !wifi | jescis
[01:38] <ubotu> jescis: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:39] <jescis> I have to keep typing in the wep key

[01:39] <ubotu> Package lobster does not exist in gutsy
[01:39] <jescis>  and it satill wont connect
[01:39] <Pelo> patogen, because linux ppl never throw anyting away
[01:39] <eck090> could it be something wtih my d3d?
[01:39] <bruenig> 2xram for swap is a waste of time
[01:39] <kostkon> _Lucretia_, actually, is it supposed to be supported by mtp? did you check that libmtp can recognise your device?
[01:39] <bruenig> space*

[01:39] <Pelo> aO|DB,  whatspecifics do you need to know about ?
[01:39] <patogen> Pelo: Yeah, but I don't even think that one works longer ...

[01:40] <compwiz18> eck090: wpa2
[01:40] <speeddemon8803> Eck, I HIGHLY suggest wpa2
[01:41] <eck090> what type of router do you think is best
[01:41] <Pelo> aO|DB, make a first partiton in ext3  5 to 10 gig , you will use it for your root filesystem , where the OS will be iinstalled,  after that make one that is twice the size of your RAM for your swap , the rest you use for /home in ext3
[01:41] <kostkon> _Lucretia_, oh, ok. What application did you try it with?
[01:41] <compwiz18> eck090: Linksys WRT54G

[01:41] <tantric132> Pelo, did ya get that?
[01:41] <frojnd> I have a little problem
[01:41] <speeddemon8803> A wireless G router is the best Eck.
[01:41] <Jack_Sparrow> jescis: So do I and it is not a very good piece of hardware... but I avoid wireless for the most part.   and as a straight router, it works fine
[01:41] <eck090> not N?
[01:41] <Pelo> tantric132, no I didn't
[01:41] <aO|DB> ok let me make those real fast
[01:41] <aO|DB> i have 3 gb of ram, so i dont really need swap
[01:41] <adorablepupp2> Is there N support for linux?
[01:41] <Pelo> aO|DB, montpoints will come later in the next screen

[01:41] <Pelo> aO|DB,  your choice
[01:42] <speeddemon8803> i have no clue..thats why i suggest G.
[01:42] <_Lucretia_> kostkon: like i said
[01:42] <FliesLikeABrick> adorablepupp2 there should be N support for any network cards that are supported
[01:42] <frojnd> Where is my network eth* ? http://pastebin.ca/901956
[01:42] <Pelo> tantric132, still around ?
[01:42]  * speeddemon8803 ALSO suggests checking for yourself first :)
[01:42] <tantric132> Pelo, ok here it goes. I checked in the xorg. Horizsync 30-70. Vertrefresh 50-160. Looked on the back and didn't find anything except this and i don't even know if it's regarding Horizsync or Vert. The number was 100-250V - 60/50Hz 1.5A. I did look up the monitor though so here are the specs. http://www.viewsonic.com/products/desktopdisplays/lcddisplays/optiquest/q7b/#specs

[01:43] <aO|DB> Pelo, what does it mean Primary or Logical, and Beginning or End
[01:43] <aO|DB> do they matter?
[01:43] <aO|DB> or leave it alone
[01:43] <tantric132> Primary
[01:43] <Pelo> tantric132, hold on
[01:43] <bastid_raZor> adorablepupp2; like what? i have a psp i play fairly often
[01:43] <eck090> i think my d3d is turned off
[01:43] <eck090> how do i check this?
[01:43] <tantric132> Alrihty bud
[01:43] <nosaj> i love my psp
[01:43] <compwiz18> frojnd: eth*?
[01:43] <speeddemon8803> Primary is your main hard drive, where your operating system boots...
[01:43] <aO|DB> ok so make that the 5 GB part
[01:43] <frojnd> compwiz18, yes, what is my wireless eth1 eth2 or what ?
[01:43] <aO|DB> then the logical the 15 GB
[01:44] <speeddemon8803> Yeah.
[01:44] <aO|DB> ok
[01:44] <compwiz18> frojnd: ra0, I think
[01:44] <Pelo> aO|DB, if you only have ubuntu on that hdd use primary , don't worry about beginning and end,  just use the size bits

[01:45] <Pelo> tantric132, change  horiz sync to  30 - 82 and vert  to 50 -75
[01:45] <kostkon> _Lucretia_, hmmmm. I don't know what else you can do. Although it is not recognized by mtp-detect, did you try it with Rhythmbox and what happens?
[01:45] <Pelo> speeddemon8803, team up on what ?
[01:45] <kostkon> _Lucretia_, eh, no, I have an iPod.
[01:45] <eck090> ugh, as much as it is a pain to do stuff through command line..... its better than windows
[01:45] <speeddemon8803> helping that guy out with his partitioning issues.
[01:45]  * Pelo is confused now
[01:45] <tantric132> Pelo, I'm sure this is an obvious answer but how do I change values and then save the file in xorg?
[01:45] <nickrud> Weirdbeard: /var/log/installer/ for the initial install
[01:45] <aO|DB> Erm... i just got a weird problem i guess
[01:45] <akin> hi
[01:45] <aO|DB> now the "free space" says Unusuable
[01:45] <_Lucretia_> kostkon: I have enabled the mtp plugin in rhythmbox, but I can't see anything that relates to mtp, confused
[01:45] <speeddemon8803> !hi | akin
[01:45] <nosaj> hay how can i safely get rid of the windows partition on my ubuntu pc can i just deleat the partition
[01:45] <ubotu> akin: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[01:45] <Weirdbeard> Thanks nickrud!
[01:46] <dabbill> http://pastebin.org/19339 Could some one take a look at this and see if they have any ideas on how to fix it?
[01:46] <nosaj> i also have a old ubuntu install i want to get rid of as well as the windows partition
[01:46] <Jordan> my ubuntu cd only loads cli. how do i make it load gui and install?
[01:46] <Rukus> hey
[01:46] <kostkon> _Lucretia_, yes, so neither Rhythmbox can see it.
[01:46] <eck090> how do i install a.run file?
[01:46] <Pelo> tantric132, you are in nano right now ? just use the keys to bring the cursor to the right place and type over  I think you use  ctrl x to exit and save
[01:46] <KE7LNU> best part scheme normal user laptop?????
[01:46] <speeddemon8803> jordan, did you accidentally install the alternative image to a cd?
[01:46] <_Lucretia_> kostkon: doesn't look like it
[01:47] <aO|DB> Pelo, do i make the Home first, then make the Root??? because it is not letting me create anything else after making the primary
[01:47] <tantric132> Pelo, thanks. going to try it
[01:47] <_Lucretia_> kostkon: should it give some extra menus or something?
[01:47] <speeddemon8803> The alternative install does not include a GUI, Jordan, if that was what you did.
[01:47] <nomopofomo> My desktop has gone black and the shutdown button in the top-right hand corner of my screen doesn't work ;(
[01:47] <compwiz18> eck090: ideally, you wouldn't, but you can open up a terminal and run chmod +x file.run; ./file.run
[01:47] <Pelo> Jordan, sound like you have the alternate install cd , there is no gui on it , you have to install ,  from the menu at the beginning
[01:47] <nickrud> eck090: first you figure out if there's any other way to get that program.
[01:47] <eck090> well its my video driver
[01:47] <kostkon> _Lucretia_, it is supposed that if you enable the mtp plugin, your device should appear in Rhythmbox when you connect it
[01:47] <nickrud> eck090: which one?
[01:48] <eck090> Nvidia
[01:48] <nomopofomo> This was all after I started playing around with my fstab file...
[01:48] <compwiz18> eck090: you should be able to get that in the restricted manager
[01:48] <aO|DB> shit this is kinda confusing
[01:48] <_Lucretia_> kostkon: could it be a charging thing? I'm charging now
[01:48] <nomopofomo> I added two lines and then deleted htem.
[01:48] <aO|DB> lol
[01:48] <nickrud> eck090: ok, I have ref for the new atis
[01:48] <Jordan> ok. i might have hit the check box by accident. thanks!
[01:48] <Rukus> hi i recently uninstalled xserver-xgl , installed a new ATI graphics driver,, newest from ATI site, and now when i try ctrl alt backspace, my system doesnt hang, it just blanks the screen and stops there. ctrl alt del restarts the machine. I also run compiz effects
[01:48] <eck090> restricted manager?
[01:48] <KE7LNU> noobie// best partition scheme for ubuntu  home var usr etc
[01:48] <nmz787> hey does anyone here know what a dflt value is?
[01:49] <Rukus> default
[01:49] <Rukus> dflt - default maybe
[01:49] <kostkon> _Lucretia_, I think since your device is recognized as a usb device by ubuntu it can be charged. i think that it's independent of the mtp problem
[01:49] <Pelo> aO|DB, you'll get the hang of it eventualy, you only do one thing at once, if it helps you can exit the installer and go back to the deskop ,  you can partition your hdd from gparted in there and do the insetall after,   you can then skip the bit where you partiton and go straight to the part where you pick the partitons to instal on
[01:50] <eck090> says installer must be run as root
[01:50] <aO|DB> well, it dosnt let me install on partitions
[01:50] <eck090> do i just put the "sudo" command?
[01:50] <aO|DB> it just picks this one hard drive i have
[01:50] <nickrud> Rukus: you could try running the install on http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide , see if that will fix it. But simply running the ati driver install can often screw things up
[01:50] <nmz787> anyone here ever use MPX? I am trying to get the xinput program to work
[01:50] <aO|DB> ack
[01:50] <Rukus> thats the guide i followd
[01:50] <Rukus> nickrud: thats the guide i followd
[01:50] <jescis> Jack_Sparrow:  so, would nothing, no wep or anything be better to use using a 2wire modem/router?
[01:50] <maximilion__> eck090, if it a graphical install program: gksudo appname, if console: sudo appname.
[01:50] <nomopofomo> !info automount
[01:50] <ubotu> Package automount does not exist in gutsy
[01:51] <nickrud> Rukus: hm. Working here just fine.
[01:51] <mike> ok hi all i have samba reinstalled, i go to my windows box and type //server and the password box comes up so i type in my credentials, but with no luck
[01:51] <Pelo> aO|DB, you do the manual partitionning bit but then you donT' have to do the partitons in the step you are now , they are already there, you can skip to the next bit I mean
[01:51] <_Lucretia_> kostkon: it seems that udev has worked and mounted it tho, I do have /dev/libmtp-6-1 & /dev/libmtp-usbdev6.2
[01:51] <mike> i did the sudo smbpasswd -a mike
[01:51] <smithw> Hello everyone. I had a fully functional gutsy installation on my PC, but since them I have upgraded some of its hardware and I'm not sure how will gutsy handle that hardware change. The most "critical" hardware (graphics card and wireless card) are the same, so I expect no problems there. However, the HD's have completely changed their order. Will gutsy's fstab go nuts when I boot into it?
[01:51] <aO|DB> ??
[01:51] <spike_le_jackal> howdy
[01:51] <nomopofomo> Is anyone here familiar with automounting NTFS partitions?
[01:51] <aO|DB> right now i have 24 gigs of free space
[01:51] <nmz787> howdy
[01:51] <eck090> says im running an x server?
[01:51] <aO|DB> and i need to make a ubuntu partition
[01:51] <tantric132_> Pelo, I'm now on my Ubuntu system. You're the man! Thank you so much
[01:51] <Pelo> aO|DB, anyting esle on this hdd ?
[01:51] <speeddemon8803> !automount
[01:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about automount - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[01:52] <Mathman> smithw: sounds about right
[01:52] <Pelo> tantric132_, my pleasure
[01:52] <maximilion__> eck090, what are you installing?
[01:52] <aO|DB> Yep, theres Windows partition, 7GB, Storage, 130GB
[01:52] <nmz787> you can also edit /etc/fstab and set the ntfs to mount on startup
[01:52] <eck090> NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.09-pkg1.run
[01:52] <spike_le_jackal> Yeah, searching for it comes up with good results you need
[01:52] <spike_le_jackal> I've worked similar issues.
[01:52] <Pelo> aO|DB,  ok  fist please use my nick in each line,  it makes it easier to follow if I know you are talking to me
[01:52] <aO|DB> ok
[01:53] <maximilion__> Hm, strange, gksudo should work
[01:53] <robdig> Pelo: hi, are you plotting yet?
[01:53] <eck090> what is gksudo?
[01:53] <nomopofomo> What filesystem option should I choose when adding an NTFS drive to my fstab file?
[01:53] <Pelo> aO|DB, you will need to make logical partitons , not primaries,  you can only have 4 primaries per hdd
[01:53] <smithw> Mathman: thanks... I guess I will resort to an old live cd to edit the fstab before I boot into the actual system
[01:53] <MrPiracy> i have installed kiba-dock, but when i type the command to open it, i get a segmentation fault error. how can i fix this? i'm on a 64bit system
[01:53] <nomopofomo> More precisely, what is the proper filesystem to use? fuseblk or ntfs-3g?
[01:53] <nickrud> eck090: clt-alt-backspace, ctl-alt-f2 , login.  sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop (this stops your X server. Do the install, then  sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start to restart X server
[01:53] <Mathman> smithw: that and you'll perhaps need to edit grub.conf and reinstall grub
[01:53] <maximilion__> eck090, press Alt+F2, type gksudo NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.09-pkg1.run
[01:54] <Pelo> robdig,  not yes,  I am investigating other avenues,    like generic printers with cpl  drivers,  cause I can't get a hpgl.plt flle out of progecad
[01:54] <frojnd> how can I check if my wifi card works, what's the command for searching for devices something with scanning ?
[01:54] <nickrud> eck090: you can use clt-alt-f2 and clt-alt-f7 to switch back and forth while the X server is running
[01:54] <kostkon> _Lucretia_, ok. do you think a mtp specific app that gnomad2 will help? I don't know what else you can do with mtp
[01:54] <maximilion__> gksudo allow running apps with a temporary root access
[01:54] <putnum> who is in charge of the support groups for ubuntu? the local ones i mean
[01:54] <smithw> Mathman: most definitely
[01:54] <EADG> Help. I rm'd a file instead of mv! Is there anyway to recover it? Anyway at all?
[01:54] <nickrud> maximilion__: the nvidia install requires X to be off
[01:54] <nomopofomo> Which file, EADG?
[01:54] <_Lucretia_> kostkon: i think i'll wait till it's charged and see what to do next
[01:54] <Mathman> EADG: nothing I know of that doesn't cost loads of money
[01:55] <Pelo> aO|DB, right click in the free space showed in the  graphical repersentation of the hdd,  select new partiton or whatever it is ,  make a new one  5 gig , ext3 , logical
[01:55] <maximilion__> nickrud, I see. I'm not as experienced as you, so I'd probably boot into recovery mode and do a su - username in that case :)
[01:55] <eck090> ok repeat that
[01:55] <EADG> nomopofomo: a text file, no extension.
[01:55] <eck090> i forgot that shuts off my GUI
[01:55] <nickrud> putnum: you mean the locos? #ubuntu-loco for help
[01:55] <Repley> hi all. is possible to auto-run a command after a custom command? for example i want to run 'ls' after all 'cd' command that i type (for example 'cd /path/dynamic')
[01:55] <putnum> thx nick
[01:55] <nomopofomo> EADG, a configuration file of some sort? What was it's name?
[01:55] <kostkon> _Lucretia_, ok. sorry I couldn't really help you!
[01:55] <Pelo> robdig, but the stuff you emailed me works perfectly ,  for what little I can do with it
[01:55] <nickrud> maximilion__: that'd work too, but I hate rebooting when there's another way :)
[01:56] <Mathman> nomopofomo: I fail to see how that would be relevant...
[01:56] <_Lucretia_> kostkon: thanks anyway, i'll prolly see how it goes tomorrow
[01:56] <maximilion__> mm but it's easier to remember :)
[01:56] <putnum> nick: nobody is in there
[01:56] <nomopofomo> What filesystem should I use for automounting an NTFS partition? fuseblk or ntfs-3g?
[01:56] <eck090> nickrud can you rpost those directions
[01:56] <robdig> Pelo: well, we both learned something...good luck getting your cad going
[01:56] <maximilion__> night guys
[01:56] <eck090> please and thanks
[01:56] <greencookie> How can I download decoder for playing last fm streams? I just installed ubuntu an hour ago.
[01:56] <nickrud> eck090:  clt-alt-backspace, ctl-alt-f2 , login.  sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop (this stops your X server. Do the install, then  sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start to restart X server
[01:56] <maximilion__> My Ubuntu is now fully setup and tested for webdesign <3
[01:56] <Pelo> robdig,  when i do get it working I will email you about it , you were a great help
[01:56] <nomopofomo> Mathman, I probably misinterpreted what he asked.
[01:56] <eck090> ok writing them down
[01:56] <eck090> and ill brb
[01:56] <Rukus> ugh
[01:56] <robdig> Pelo: no prob
[01:57] <Pelo> aO|DB, still around ?
[01:57] <putnum> and is there a team that is in charge of promoting ubuntu? As in maybe a roadhow type thing?
[01:57] <nickrud> eck090: in the rare case where you don't automatically get returned to the gui when you run the start, hit ctl-alt-f7
[01:57] <EADG> nomopofomo: an report typed out in nano. Not a config file. File name was 'porocity jan 12'
[01:57] <nickrud> putnum: #ubuntu-marketing I think
[01:57] <Mathman> EADG: probably a good time to mention rcs or cvs or whatever.
[01:57] <Pelo> putnum, check in the ubuntu website in the get involved section , look for locos
[01:58] <putnum> ok thx guys
[01:58] <gotama> Hi! I'm using gutsy (i386).  Where can I change the screen !resolution for start up? Help please!
[01:58] <nickrud> !loco > putnum (see pm)
[01:58] <Mathman> EADG: you should look into something like that perhaps
[01:58] <putnum> ok got it
[01:58] <putnum> thx
[01:58] <MrPiracy> i have installed kiba-dock, but when i type the command to open it, i get a segmentation fault error. how can i fix this? i'm on a 64bit system
[01:58] <brian_> hola
[01:58] <EADG> Mathman: not familiar with those abreviations...
[01:58] <aO|DB> Pelo, I just made 2 Parts, 5GB EX3 Primary, 300MB Swap... made the EX3 /
[01:58] <aO|DB> and im installing
[01:58]  * Pelo is feeling like crap and will need to go to bed soon
[01:59] <nomopofomo> Mathman, happen to know which filesystem I should use when automounting an NTFS volume?
[01:59] <Rukus> i have two xorg processes running, is this normal
[01:59]  * nickrud pities Pelo , must be all that cold weather
[01:59] <Pelo> aO|DB,  I was gonna suggest you use the rest of the free space for /home in ext3
[01:59] <Mathman> EADG: version tracking systems.  if you're going to be doing this Linux and/or programming thing seriously, you should look into one
[01:59]  * robdig gives Pelo some chicken soup
[02:00] <Mathman> nomopofomo: I suppose that would depend on which drivers you wanted.  ntfs3g is the good stuff these days though I think
[02:00] <EADG> Mathman: would nano have saved an incremental backup?
[02:00] <Mathman> EADG: ha, nano?  doubtful
[02:00]  * Pelo sits in the warm chicken soup, ahhhh
[02:01]  * EADG weeps
[02:01] <Mathman> if you used something like emacs or vim then those will save backup copies whenever you edit something.  if they're configured to do so anyhow.
[02:01]  * Pelo laughs at EADG
[02:01] <aO|DB> Pelo
[02:01] <Pelo> aO|DB, yes ?
[02:01] <aO|DB> Pelo, i think it automatically puts that space in the partition
[02:01] <frojnd> I'm trying to Build A Linux-Based Wireless Access Point by this how to: http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/nethub/article.php/3467111  I have installed all the required packages Pciutils, Wireless tools, Pcmcia-cs, HostAP driver, bridge-utils and now I don't know how do I have to change my /etc/network/interfaces.

[02:01] <Sapote_> hi all!! winutuxu is a winxp sp2 and show logo of ubuntu
[02:01] <nickrud> ok, everyone stop talking to Pelo make him go to bed
[02:01] <Sapote_> google winutuxu
[02:02] <Sapote_> some alert to canonical
[02:02] <Pelo> aO|DB, is this your first ubuntu install ? meaning your first linux ?
[02:02] <greencookie> Does anyone use mog.com?
[02:02] <aO|DB> pelo, Neg
[02:02] <Pelo> aO|DB, mind if I hand you over to nickrud ?  I realy have to go
[02:02] <aO|DB> Sure, thanks for the help :D
[02:02] <nickrud> night Pelo see you tomorrow probably
[02:03] <nickrud> aO|DB: I take it you're trying to partition your drive for ubuntu?
[02:03] <Sapote_> http://winutuxu.fr.ma/
[02:03] <aO|DB> Yep... still confused, but it is installing
[02:03] <proprietarysucks> how do I get into single user mode in ubuntu?
[02:03] <Pelo> nickrud,  aO|DB  needs to manualy partion before installing, 4 gig / , small swap,  the rest in /home,   all logical, he»'s got 3 windows partitions already
[02:03] <Sapote_> anybody send this site to canonical please http://winutuxu.fr.ma/
[02:03] <EADG> Well, I'm really up the creek without a paddle now.  Thanks for confirming the obvious. later all.
[02:03] <elecompt2> I need help updating my kernel...I have 2.6.20-15-generic and i need at least 2.6.6
[02:04] <aO|DB> also, i just deleted Kubuntu..
[02:04] <nickrud> aO|DB: sounds like you're moving along nicely, after the install we can inspect what you have
[02:04] <Pelo> aO|DB, consider you might have a hidden  recovery partition on your hdd,  which would show as free space in gparted but would not be usable
[02:04] <proprietarysucks> I've tried kernline.. 1 and kernel line....  single
[02:04] <Mathman> elecompt2: 2.6.20 is newer than 2.6.6
[02:04] <Pelo> anyway, I am gone
[02:04] <robdig> proprietarysucks: sudo telinit 1
[02:04] <aO|DB> I deleted that
[02:04] <Pelo> g'night folks
[02:04] <aO|DB> ok cya!
[02:04] <jamiejackson> need some help getting started with gutsy and a treo 650. shouldn't i be able to plug in via usb and see things happen in dmesg?
[02:04] <proprietarysucks> robdig: grub doesn't have sudo
[02:04] <elecompt2> Mathman: well then I am having troubles working with ndiswrapper
[02:05] <proprietarysucks> I'm talking about starting the machine and getting into ubuntu to reset the password
[02:05] <nickrud> proprietarysucks: use  init=/bin/bash
[02:05] <robdig> proprietarysucks: ah, sorry, thought you were already up...boot into recovery mode generally option 2 on the grub menu
[02:05] <Mathman> elecompt2: whats the problem?  yum install ndiswrapper or whatever it is you ubuntu guys do
[02:05] <proprietarysucks> thanks
[02:05] <aO|DB> nickrud, Heres what i did: 24Gb Freespace ->  5gb /  and 300mb swap.... then I was left with a bunch of unusable space
[02:06] <aO|DB> and im installing now, and i would assume that it takes the unusable space and implements it
[02:06] <nickrud> aO|DB: hm, ok. After the install we can double check and reformat and reinstall if needed
[02:06] <gotama> Where can I change the screen resolution for the start up of ubuntu?
[02:06] <nickrud> aO|DB: good chance reinstall won't be needed, just some tweaking
[02:06] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud: Hey, is he running into the 4 primary limit
[02:06] <elecompt2> Mathman: I tried to follow the instructions, and when I tried to install, It said there was an error
[02:06] <aO|DB> nickrud, are you familiar with the kubuntu partitioner?
[02:06] <Vadi> gotama: for the loading progress bar?
[02:07] <nickrud> Jack_Sparrow: could be, we'll discover
[02:07] <Vadi> How can I add something to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable?
[02:07] <Mathman> gotama: I'm thinking you pass something to the kernel, via grub
[02:07] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud: goodnight
[02:07] <gotama> Just start up.
[02:07] <nickrud> aO|DB: not particularly, but we'll sort it out
[02:07] <nickrud> Jack_Sparrow: it's just starting :)
[02:07] <Mathman> elecompt2: the point is, you should be installing ndiswrapper via your package manager.  if there's an error then file a bug report
[02:07] <aO|DB> nickrud, well it lets you resize any partition during install(unlike ubuntu)
[02:07] <elecompt2> ok
[02:07] <gotama> I've got just a black screen And need to wait until the x server starts.
[02:08] <aO|DB> nickrud, i was wondering if ubuntu came with a partitioner that could do that(on the live cd)
[02:08] <nickrud> aO|DB: Yes,  gparted and others
[02:08] <aO|DB> ok, well its 90%
[02:09] <gotama> exact,for the loading progress bar. I can't see it.
[02:09] <nickrud> aO|DB: we can do a lot of formatting stuff from the install as well
[02:09] <Hellow> Ok, i am having difficulty with Compiz, when i run it in terminal, it generates this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55817/
[02:09] <nickrud> !brokenusplash | gotama (this fixes many of those blank screen problems)
[02:09] <ubotu> gotama (this fixes many of those blank screen problems): Supported screen resolutions are sometimes detected incorrectly, causing the splash screen to not appear and slowing down boot. Edit /etc/usplash.conf and change "xres" and "yres" to a resolution that your graphics system certainly supports, then run « sudo update-usplash-theme usplash-theme-ubuntu »
[02:10] <Vadi> How can I append something to an enviroment variable?
[02:10] <rhinovirus> is there a way i can remove an OS from displaying on the grub loader?
[02:10] <aO|DB> nickrud, Ok i am done installing, should i reboot or tweak?
[02:10] <credible> Vadi: VARIABLE=$VARIABLE:blah ?
[02:10] <aO|DB> maybe i will see if its functional first
[02:10] <aO|DB> :b
[02:10] <nickrud> aO|DB: reboot, get into the system properly :)
[02:10] <credible> (prepend export to that)
[02:11] <Vadi> credible: ok, thanks
[02:12] <Hellow> Can someone please help me? I am having difficulty with Compiz, when i run it in terminal, this is what it gives me: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55817/
[02:13] <smithw> I'm running a ubuntu 6.06 live cd, and I need to mount the first partition of the secondary slave IDE HD... which dev would it be? /dev/sdd1?
[02:13] <aO|DB> nickrud, ok im in ubuntu
[02:13] <norty> I have two quick questions, how do I change the font color of the taskbars on the desktop to white? and also how do I make it such that when I create a file such as test.txt another file called  test.txt~ doesn't get created or just doesn't appear in the terminal.. ? (ubuntu 7.10)
[02:13] <nickrud> aO|DB: ok,  apps->accessories->terminal, and type   sudo fdisk -l
[02:14] <kostkon> Hellow, it looks like that you don't have the nvidia driver installed
[02:14] <nickrud> aO|DB: put the output of that on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[02:14] <Hellow> kostkon: Where can i find it?
[02:14] <bluefox> ok, how do i add resolution listings in System->Preferences->Screen Resolution ?
[02:14] <WorldBFree> how would i go about booting a ubuntu image straight from my hd.  i already have a working grub
[02:15] <aO|DB> let me get on irc on laptop sec
[02:15] <bluefox> all i have listed are the uber-low resolutions from the safety-mode, this laptop can handle HD
[02:15] <kostkon> Hellow, you can install it using Synaptic
[02:15] <Hellow> kostkon: what is it called?
[02:15] <nomopofomo> Mathman, think /dev/hda1	/mnt/ntfs-1	ntfs-3g	defaults	0	0 will work?
[02:15] <bluefox> !resolution
[02:15] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[02:15] <kostkon> Hellow, search for "nvidia" in synaptic
[02:16] <kostkon> Hellow, it will have 3 versions of the driver. choose the driver that applies to you, it depends of what model you have
[02:16] <nickrud> norty: on the first create a file  ~./gtkrc-2.0 , and add the contents of http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55819/ to it.
[02:16] <kostkon> Hellow, which nvidia card do you have?
[02:16] <aO|DB> nickrud, shoot is there any app like konversation on ubuntu? IRC CLIENT
[02:16] <vbabiy_laptop_> Hey guys I have set up at directory on my hard drive called back up I have set the group owner to a group called desktop-users and set the group id sticky bit. Now my question is how can make so when every a user creates a file in that directory or moves it to that directory it will have full group read and write permission?
[02:16] <Hellow> kostkonL i dont
[02:17] <nickrud> aO|DB: install xchat , it's a good one
[02:17] <Benalex> Hello all, is there a way to shutdown ubuntu automatically after finishing updates?
[02:17] <kostkon> Hellow, ok, sorry, misunderstood
[02:17] <aO|DB> sudo apt-get install xchat?
[02:17] <nickrud> aO|DB: yes
[02:18] <kostkon> Hellow, which graphics card do you have?
[02:18] <tantric132> Can anyone tell me why I'm getting an error message while trying to import music into Music Player? The error is 'The GSTreamer plugins to decode "MP3" files cannot be found'
[02:18] <tantric132> How do I fix this?
[02:18] <nickrud> vbabiy_laptop_: either change the users' umask to 002 (they make things group readable by default, not really good) or set up an access control list for that directory (beyond the scope of this channel)
[02:18] <Hellow> Its Intergrated Graphics by Intel, it can run 3D programs fine
[02:18] <Hellow> @ koskon
[02:18] <techqbert> does anyone know a command I could run from a dock launcher like awn or cairo that would launch gnome-terminal and enter a predefined command?
[02:18] <aO|DB> nickrud, shoot i dont have any repositories i think... is it the same as kubuntu?
[02:18] <Benalex> tantric132: install extracodecs
[02:18] <nickrud> aO|DB: yes
[02:19] <kostkon> Hellow, oh, ok, sorry about that
[02:19] <Hellow> er, kostkon
[02:19] <nickrud> !gutsysources | aO|DB
[02:19] <ubotu> aO|DB: gutsysources is in System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (gutsy-security) and (gutsy-updates).
[02:19] <Benalex> Hello all, is there a way to shutdown ubuntu automatically after finishing updates?
[02:19] <vbabiy_laptop_> nickrud: can i set the umask of a directory
[02:19] <mouseboyx> Should there be an option in the installer to enable the cd and multiverse and universe?
[02:19] <tantric132> Benalex, how? When I search for it in Add/Remove it doesn't show
[02:19] <astro76> techqbert: gnome-terminal -e or -x, man gnome-terminal for the differences
[02:20] <jamiejackson> ubuntu only seems to be able to see my Treo 650 when i've hit the hotsync button,  but i'm looking to use DUN. what's the trick for getting ubuntu to recognize the device when it's *not* trying to hotsync
[02:20] <nickrud> vbabiy_laptop_: thats what access control lists do. You can set it up so only users in that group can write there, and/or only that group are read/writeable
[02:20] <vipaca> Isthere a serperate channel for sparc?
[02:20] <Benalex> tantric132: sorry ... search for extras... and install Ubuntu restricted extras
[02:21] <techqbert> astro76: cool thanks
[02:21] <vbabiy_laptop_> nickrud: this just seem to hard to set up something so basic?
[02:21] <aO|DB> done
[02:21] <norty> nickrud, I did what you said, i created the file gtkrc-2.0 in my home directory, and put the contents in it but nothing happened... ?
[02:21] <nickrud> vbabiy_laptop_: true that
[02:21] <aO|DB> but xchat dosnt exist or something
[02:21] <astro76> vipaca: there is an #ubuntu-server
[02:21] <Benalex> tantric132: and also install GStreamer extra plugins
[02:21] <nickrud> norty: try killall gnome-panel , that will restart it and it should reread the rc file
[02:21] <kostkon> Hellow, can you open a terminal and do a "glxinfo | grep direct rendering"?
[02:22] <aO|DB> nickrud, i dont see the xchat package
[02:22] <nickrud> aO|DB: did you do apt-get update?
[02:22] <aO|DB> not yet
[02:22] <norty> nickrud, that didn't work
[02:22] <nickrud> aO|DB: required after every change to sources.list
[02:22] <Hellow> kostkon: this is what it gives me:
[02:22] <Hellow> grep: rendering: No such file or directory
[02:22] <aO|DB> thx :D
[02:22] <norty> should the file have a . in front of it?
[02:22] <nickrud> norty: yes
[02:22] <tantric132> Benalex, thank you
[02:23] <Benalex> tantric132: NP :)
[02:23] <kostkon> Hellow, better give "glxinfo | grep rendering"
[02:23] <norty> nickrud, thanks got it
[02:23] <Hellow> kostkon: this is what it gives me then: direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)
[02:24] <kostkon> Hellow, so that means you don't have 3d support by your card
[02:24] <tantric132> Does anyone know why when I turn my computer on now where I can choose from the three different types of Ubuntu(GUI, Recovery, and Memory 80 something), why is my Windows XP no longer on the list? I can't load into windows now
[02:24] <proprietarysucks> I've logged in with init=/bin/bash    how do I change the password?
[02:24] <proprietarysucks> I've tried passwd username
[02:24] <tantric132> (I have windows on a NTFS partition
[02:24] <Hellow> kostkon: but i run 3D games on it all the time
[02:25] <proprietarysucks> I just want to set the password!
[02:25] <norty> How do I make it such that when I create a file such as test.txt another file called  test.txt~ doesn't get created or just doesn't appear in the terminal.. ? (ubuntu 7.10)
[02:25] <nickrud> tantric132: that happens sometimes, what partition is your windows on?
[02:25] <eck090> Hey, i installed the driver, but i still get video lagg with games
[02:25] <tantric132> nickrud, let me double check
[02:25] <Dr_willis> norty,  thats vi making backups.
[02:25] <aO|DB-DX> nickrud, ok
[02:25] <tantric132> nickrud, how come GParted isn't on here anymore? Is it only part of the Live CD? ALso, in Linux, how do I view partitions
[02:25] <compwiz18> proprietarysucks: when you say "the password", which password do you mean?
[02:25] <kostkon> Hellow, maybe they run on software 3d acceleration
[02:25] <vipaca> That channel is dead
[02:26] <proprietarysucks> a user's password or the root, either
[02:26] <nickrud> aO|DB: ok, put up that   sudo fdisk -l
[02:26] <frojnd> I've tryed to mount /dev/sda2 /media/win  but than I got message that it has to be specified name of the system. This is windows, so how can I mount it ?
[02:26] <nickrud> tantric132: you can install gparted,  and     sudo fdisk -l  shows partition info

[02:26] <vipaca> aO|DB-DX usepastie
[02:26] <Dr_willis> frojnd,  you mean it wants the 'filesystem' type most likely.   -t ntfs or -t vfat is an option you need to use
[02:26] <compwiz18> proprietarysucks: passwd user should do it
[02:26] <aO|DB> wow im getting hated left and right
[02:27] <aO|DB> lol
[02:27] <kostkon> Hellow, can you do a "lspci" on a terminal to see what's the model of your card?
[02:27] <aO|DB-DX> ??
[02:27] <aO|DB-DX> should i still paste it
[02:27] <compwiz18> !pastebin | aO|DB-DX

[02:27] <soldats> kostkon: what card
[02:27] <nickrud> aO|DB: put that up on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (open the browser, go there and copy and paste) and give me the url
[02:27] <vipaca> aO|DB-DX yes
[02:27] <kostkon> soldats, graphics card
[02:28] <Hellow> kostkon: this is what it gives me for the gfx card: 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82810 (CGC) Chipset Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[02:28] <vipaca> pastie.caboo.se is better.

[02:28] <nickrud> vipaca: Illl look at it, I'm kinda disappointed in the nl one
[02:29] <frojnd> Dr_willis, it says that wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2, when I do: mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /media/win
[02:29] <eck090> is there a way to check if my d3d is running??
[02:29] <gold44> how to disable gui splash screen? want to see the boot process in text mode , cause my video card/monitor says out of range.
[02:29] <aO|DB-DX> nickrud, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55821/
[02:29] <kostkon> soldats, , that's for Hellow, he/she already did it, ok
[02:29] <soldats> cool
[02:29] <Hellow> kostkon: he
[02:29] <gold44> i have no way of telling what the status is, cause screen out of range
[02:30] <gold44> help
[02:30] <Dr_willis> frojnd,  yopu may want to go read a few mounting drives on linux tutorials. You are most likely doing some typo or other trivbial thing wrong.
[02:30] <soldats> gold44: does it say refresh rate out of range?
[02:30] <Dr_willis> frojnd,  it may be vfat,
[02:30] <kostkon> Hellow, so it looks like you have the intel 810 chipset. ok
[02:30] <gold44> soldats: let me check, bu t i think the resoultion is wrong, my screen support 1024x and default probably bigger
[02:31] <nickrud> aO|DB: install gparted, I don't like the looks of the overlap of the ntfs partition with the other partitions. Not a good looking thing
[02:31] <jake85> hi, im new to ubuntu can anyone help - having issues with wifi (it looks installed )and i can see my AP but i cant connect to it, it just looks like it keeps connecting and nothing - ( using Broadcom wifi chipset)
[02:31] <tantric132> nickrud, okay. I have got it. Let me break down my entire HD for you. /dev/sda1(74.52GB) is ntfs. Used-20.70GB Free-53.82GB. Mountpoint for it is /media/disk-1 /dev/sda2(36.88GB) is ext3. Mountpoint /media/disk.  /dev/sda3(36GB) is ext3. Mountpoint is / . then I have the two swap spacve partitions. (extended and linux-swap)
[02:31] <soldats> gold44: well what happened, was this the first time. did you edit something.
[02:31] <aO|DB-DX> nickrud, use this name to talk to, easier to read on this laptop
[02:31] <nickrud> Dr_willis: if you have a sec, could you look at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55821/ , I don't like the looks of the start blocks
[02:31] <kostkon> Hellow, it's a little old so I don't know if 3d is supported by the intel driver for 810
[02:31] <nickrud> aO|DB: ok
[02:32] <nickrud> aO|DB-DX: ok that is
[02:32] <nomopofomo> I'm having problems with links to folders containing MP3 files on an NTFS partition.
[02:32] <frojnd> Dr_willis, I made a wrong dev, it was dev1 and not dev2
[02:32] <eck090> how do i test my D3D?
[02:32] <nickrud> tantric132: a sec
[02:32] <frojnd> is this bad, I mount it under root, and now set as chmod -R 777 and it's making huge scan..
[02:32] <aO|DB-DX> nickrud, while im installing what messanger service would you reccomend?
[02:32] <gold44> soldats: just installed it on dual boot. monitor says "out of range", it's not a message from the console. it's a message from  my LCD screen itself.
[02:33] <usser> eck090: D#D?
[02:33] <Dr_willis> nickrud,  ive seen that happen  at times if you partition the disks oddly.
[02:33] <eck090> direct 3d
[02:33] <magnumpi> hey what package do i need to install to get compiz-fusion to work on a 1400x ati card?"
[02:33] <usser> eck090: ehm, do you have wine installed?
[02:33] <usser> eck090: theres no D3D on linux per se
[02:33] <gold44> soldats: oh no. unable to boot into ubuntu. i have in intitial ram disk prompt
[02:33] <Dr_willis> frojnd,  you DONT normally chmod mountpoints that way.. and you definiatly dont do it for NTFS/Vfat filesystems
[02:33] <Hellow> kostkon: where can i find a system wide accelerator like Direct X for Windows?
[02:34] <eck090> well im using a linux version of eve-online
[02:34] <nickrud> tantric132: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55822/ , add that to the very end of /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:34] <eck090> but im getting tons of graphic lagg
[02:34] <frojnd> Dr_willis, I hope I didn't something screw :S
[02:34] <usser> Hellow: its included with video card driver
[02:34] <usser> Hellow: its called opengl
[02:34] <Gruelius> I need some help withchunksizes. Raid5 array with 4x500gb disks,files ~200mb+ in general. will have a lvm withext3. What chunksize should i set
[02:34] <nickrud> aO|DB-DX: pidgin I guess. That's what most people seem to use
[02:34] <kostkon> Hellow, for linux you can say it's opegl. but if you don't have 3d support for your card you can't do many things, actually
[02:34] <usser> eck090: it uses opengl
[02:34] <soldats> gold44: i know. it usually means wrong resolution or bad refresh rates. if you can do ctrl+alt+f2 and get a terminal you can try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" and it should rebuild it to the correct settings. otherwise you may be able to get a terminal with recovery mode boot
[02:34] <eck090> ok, im  not sure why im getting lagg then
[02:34] <bort> I bought a power supply for my old computer (500Watts), but the connector for the mb has twelve pins and the entry of the mb has only 10. I managed to stick the twelve pin connector to the entry but now I'm wondering if my mb will burn or something.
[02:34] <kostkon> Hellow, I don't know if the intel driver supports 3d for your card
[02:34] <bort> any ideas?=
[02:34] <aO|DB-DX> nickrud, where did gparted go?
[02:34] <nickrud> aO|DB-DX: it seems you're installed ok, try booting your windows
[02:34] <eck090> can i run a test on my card thru terminal
[02:35] <nickrud> aO|DB: you need to install it
[02:35] <soldats> gold44: it happens when booting linux right
[02:35] <aO|DB-DX> i did
[02:35] <nickrud> aO|DB: ok, good. You seem good to go. Your drive seems formatted oddly to me, but it appears it's working ok
[02:35] <tantric132> nickrud, how do I access(and what file) is it?
[02:35] <rodserling_> Ok, I just put in my new sata drive, formated and partitioned the whole drive. When I boot it up, it goes blank, takes around 5 minutes and gives me the log in screen on ubuntu, Why does it go blank for 5minutes in the beginning?
[02:35] <tantric132> that i paste that to
[02:36] <aO|DB> try booting windows xp?
[02:36] <nomopofomo> Why can't I delete these folder links?! It's driving me crazy.
[02:36] <nickrud> tantric132:    gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:36] <nickrud> aO|DB: yes
[02:36] <rodserling_> Should I mess with the bios?
[02:36] <tantric132> nickrud, thanks bud!
[02:36] <eck090> ok im retarted....... my 3d-acceleration is turned off
[02:37] <usser> eck090: what video card do u have?
[02:37] <gold44> soldats: yes during boot time, no splash screen. but bigger right problem now.  some sort of tty device error
[02:37] <aO|DB> nickrud, ok im in windows
[02:37] <nickrud> !brokenusplash | rodserling_ (this often fixes blank boot screens)
[02:37] <ubotu> rodserling_ (this often fixes blank boot screens): Supported screen resolutions are sometimes detected incorrectly, causing the splash screen to not appear and slowing down boot. Edit /etc/usplash.conf and change "xres" and "yres" to a resolution that your graphics system certainly supports, then run « sudo update-usplash-theme usplash-theme-ubuntu »
[02:37] <nickrud> aO|DB: good. Just wanted to be sure it was working
[02:37] <rodserling_> Ok, thanks nickrud!
[02:37] <tantric132> nickrud, so add this text behind ### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST?
[02:37] <eck090> nvidia 6200
[02:38] <nickrud> tantric132: below that, yes
[02:38] <soldats> gold44: can you boot to recovery mode.
[02:38] <nickrud> tantric132: that way it won't get messed with anymore
[02:38] <gold44> soldats: i have all in one budget motherboard combo. so lots of hardware are very rare
[02:38] <usser> eck090: did u enable restricted driver in ubuntu's driver manager?
[02:38] <gold44> soldats: let me try.
[02:38] <tantric132> nickrud, okay I'm going to try it now...thank you!
[02:38]  * gold44 runs upstairs
[02:39] <nickrud> aO|DB: gotta step out for a few, brb
[02:39] <frojnd> ok so I mounted ntfs partition, how  can I mount it permanently and how can I access to it, since it says that it's locked and only root can acces to it ?
[02:39] <aO|DB> nickrud where is the gparted?
[02:39] <aO|DB> nickrud i installed it
[02:39] <RoxanneEDM> good day guys, can someone help me install flash? i would love it !
[02:40] <bluefox> ok, i can't seem to get gnome to use a the resolution i know my monitor is capable of handling, it only wants to let me use 800X600 and it can do 1600x1400
[02:40] <eck090> yea
[02:40] <eck090> i think i fixed it
[02:40] <eck090> ill know in a minute lol
[02:40] <jack-desktop> is there anyway to rotate my desktop screen 90 or 180 degrees in ubuntu? it's really easy in windows... ;p
[02:40] <RoxanneEDM> !flash
[02:40] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[02:40] <usser> frojnd: do something like this just change /dev/hda1 to name of your partition and /mountpoint too  echo "/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
[02:41] <aO|DB> Hey guys, where does Gparted go when it is installed?
[02:42] <soldats> aO|DB: type gparted in a terminal
[02:42] <eck090> w00t fixed
[02:42] <usser> frojnd: then do sudo chown -R username:username /mountpoint
[02:42] <Dr_willis> jack-desktop,  i recall some extra tool (xrand?) that could do that.. or some xorg.conf optiuons..  But ive never tried them out. and it may depend onyour video card.
[02:42] <RoxanneEDM> hey guys i just installed [sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree].. now it says that i have the latest version, but when i browse to some vids on facebook, it tells me i need a newer version... any ideas?
[02:43] <kostkon> Hellow, there is the 810 xorg driver at the repositories. maybe by using this driver you'll get 3d
[02:43] <soldats> RoxanneEDM: firefox
[02:43] <gold44> soldats: hm.. recovery mode is stuck or maybe taking a long time. anyway. i will try slackware and see if i get more luck. i think the main thing is the drivers for my budget motherboard
[02:43] <mike> can someone help me figure out how to edit the smb.conf file
[02:43] <tantric132> nickrud, it now says windows on the list, but when I try to load it I get: Error 22: no such partition
[02:43] <nosaj> is ther a quicken alternitave for ubuntu ?
[02:43] <frojnd> usser, I don't have hda1 in the first place
[02:43] <soldats> gold44: well if you get recovery to work do the command i gave you earier
[02:43] <usser> nosaj: try gnu-cash
[02:43] <nosaj> hmm ok ill look into it
[02:44] <RoxanneEDM> soldats: yes firefox is what i use
[02:44] <nosaj> thanks
[02:44] <gold44> soldats: okie dok
[02:44] <usser> frojnd: ok how did u mount the partition give me the command
[02:44] <soldats> RoxanneEDM: in firefox type in the address bar "about:plugins" and tell me what flash version it says is installed
[02:44] <MrPiracy> anyone knows how to fix the segmentation fault error when trying to run kiba-dock on 64bit system?
[02:45] <RoxanneEDM> soldats:  what do i type in the address field?
[02:45] <frojnd> usser, mount /dev/sda1 /home/me/Windows
[02:46] <soldats> RoxanneEDM: about:plugins
[02:46] <techqbert> does any1 know if gedit periodically saves any documents that aren't saved?  ubuntu just crashed on me
[02:46] <eck090> ok, dumb question... can i minimize... like alt+tab
[02:46] <soldats> techqbert: i dont think so, i lost so much data that way
[02:46] <usser> frojnd: cool so do this gksu gedit /etc/fstab
[02:46] <frojnd> o
[02:46] <frojnd> k
[02:46] <frojnd> usser, ok
[02:47] <Sapote_> hi any ubuntu member here?
[02:47] <ASTX813> Can vpnc be set up to only route certain ports/services?
[02:47] <usser> frojnd: add this line to the end /dev/sda1 /home/me/Windows ntfs-3g 0 0
[02:47] <techqbert> soldats: pfft I just lost a nice chunk of college application essay.  hrm.
[02:47] <sxealex> anyone know what options i need to open proms on a remote computer that use the x display... i don t need to see the output just launch them
[02:47] <macsen> ello?
[02:47] <usser> frojnd: now do sudo mount /dev/sda1
[02:47] <sxealex> sorry programs*
[02:47] <usser> frojnd: it should mount the partition
[02:47] <soldats> techqbert: unless it logs it somewhere i doubt it
[02:47] <Dr_willis> sxealex,   You would need to set up 'xhost' to allow the remote user access to the X display, and then just export the display variable, and run them
[02:48] <usser> frojnd: after that do sudo chown -R yourname:yourname /home/me/Windows
[02:48] <sxealex> export it into the computer im sshing from
[02:48] <badkitty> Cool finally got vmware to install correctly.. Now just need a decent appliance to boot properly
[02:48] <sxealex> ?
[02:48] <RoxanneEDM> what is easiest to install, a rpm file or tar.gz
[02:48] <Dr_willis> sxealex,  on the remote you need to some how run 'xhost +localhost' or similer.  (this is a potential security hole)
[02:48] <PriceChild> !rpm | RoxanneEDM
[02:48] <ubotu> RoxanneEDM: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[02:48] <Dr_willis> sxealex,  then export the DISPLAY variable properly, then just run the app. it should then appear on the remote box.
[02:49] <sxealex> ohh,,, no sorry thats not what i mean
[02:49] <nosaj> can any one tell me how manny argrage users for ubuntu and same for windows?
[02:49] <sxealex> the program is on the remote computer
[02:49] <nosaj> avrage
[02:49] <soldats> RoxanneEDM: use the tar.gz from the adobe site. and follow the directions for flash install
[02:49] <sxealex> but when i run it
[02:49] <sxealex> it says it cant find the x display
[02:49] <Dr_willis> sxealex,  thats what the exporting the DISPLAY is all about
[02:50] <eck090> ill take that as a no
[02:50] <Dr_willis> export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0   or similer
[02:50] <Dr_willis> then run the app
[02:50] <usser> frojnd: so hows it going?
[02:50] <Dr_willis> sxealex,  IF you had ran xhost +localhost that is..
[02:50] <sxealex> ok ill give that a whirl
[02:50] <sxealex> this wont work in regular ssh?
[02:51] <usser> sxealex: in ssh just use -X flag
[02:51] <Dr_willis> usser,  he wants it to appear remotely also.
[02:51] <sxealex> i thought x flag would show it on my computer
[02:51] <usser> sxealex: ie ssh -X -C username@remotepc
[02:51] <sxealex> no
[02:51] <usser> sxealex: oh my bad sorry
[02:51] <Dr_willis> or so he said.
[02:51] <sxealex> i dont need it on my computer
[02:51] <Dr_willis> :)
[02:51] <sxealex> i do this sshing into my mac all the time
[02:52] <usser> sxealex: just run it like that i believe DISPLAY=:0 && progname
[02:52] <frojnd> usser, when I try to do: chown -R joze:site /home/joze/Windows/  it allways says that it's not valid name
[02:52] <Dr_willis> sxealex,  the 'critical part' is the X security stuff, thats handled by xhost +.
[02:52] <usser> sxealex: i think that would work
[02:52] <usser> frojnd: is it there?
[02:52] <sxealex> so DISPLAY=:0 ./program
[02:52] <gold44> soldats: nope. failed. tty error can't access control. i still get initial ram disk prompt. i'll give slackware a try later this week =(
[02:52] <usser> sxealex: yea
[02:53] <frojnd> usser, if what is there :)
[02:53] <sxealex> :D
[02:53] <sxealex> thanks you!
[02:53] <sxealex> worked perfectly
[02:53] <usser> frojnd: well your /home/joze/Windows is it even there?
[02:53] <usser> frojnd: also case matters
[02:53] <frojnd> usser, ofcourse
[02:53] <usser> frojnd: Windows and windows are not the same
[02:53] <soldats> gold44: hmm thats too bad. did ubuntu ever start up. maybe had something to with dualboot
[02:53] <sxealex> thanks guys :)
[02:53] <RoxanneEDM> ok, i need a little help, i have the flash tar.gz file on the desktop, i extracted it , now im trying to follow the instructions, bur it is not working , could someone please lend me a helping hand
[02:53] <usser> sxealex: np
[02:53] <frojnd> usser, it's there
[02:54] <eck090> is there a button(s) that i can press to minimize full screen games?
[02:54] <smithw> In the ubuntu livecd there is this "Boot from first hard disk" option. I assume there is a way to tell the livecd boot manager (grub?) to boot from a specific partition (in this specific case, /dev/hdc2). can anyone tell me how I do that?
[02:54] <Dreamore> Hello

[02:55] <Dreamore> It says: "/bin/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off"
[02:55] <usser> MrPiracy: u can install blackdown java but its outdated and buggy
[02:55] <Dreamore> When I try to boot from live cd
[02:55] <safiyyah_> I uninstalled compiz fusion and now I can only run 1 program at a time on the gnome interface. I tried to reinstall and it gave me an error, cant find the files (even though I ran get update) so now I have been forced to instal xfce4... any idea how i can fix the broken gnome window manager?
[02:55] <usser> frojnd: 1 sec
[02:56] <Dr_willis> safiyyah,  try running metacity --replace
[02:56] <frojnd> usser, ofcourse I'm doung this as root
[02:56] <Hammer89> half the time I log in my computer compiz fails to load... I honestly have no idea what's wrong.... anyone have any ideas?
[02:56] <Dr_willis> safiyyah,   some how gnome is defaulting to trying to run  compiz,  not  sure how ti  tell it metacity by default
[02:56] <MrPiracy> usser: my bank uses virtual machine
[02:57] <MrPiracy> usser: www.java.com has a version for linux, but it doesnt work
[02:57] <safiyyah_> Dr willis can I do it from where I am now or do I have to log out and go back to Gnome session?
[02:57] <coolbam14> i have downloaded wubi and installed ubuntu but i want to burn the partition to one of my dvd-r cds can someone tell me how? because im removing off my computer for more space because im getting a new hdd next month
[02:57] <pppZero> is anyone else having a problem with the file menu magically opening itself in openoffice writer? - like alt is being pressed, but it does it even if my hands arent on the keyboard, and no other programs do it
[02:57] <Dr_willis> safiyyah,  try it now and see. :) if you loging to gnome and got no window decorations, or so forth. try alt-f2 and run metacity --replace
[02:58] <gold44> soldats: it's beyond me too. but i'll keep trying until i find a distro that will work with my desktop. i am only using it as web/file server. so no biggy
[02:58] <soldats> cool
[02:58] <soldats> good luck
[02:58] <aO|DB-DX> why does the ubuntu updater keep slowing down to like..... 22bites a sec from 970KB/sec
[02:58] <techqbert> pppZero: I have been having somewhat-related mystery keys being pressed.  when I alt+t for new tab in firefox, sometimes firefox makes like 30 tabs *_*
[02:58] <safiyyah_> dr willis, am not understanding the alt f2 rule. you press alt and f2... release and type metacity-replace at the terminal?
[02:59] <techqbert> pppZero: I think it has to do with my hardware though
[02:59] <ArrPirate> I have a problem with my new monitor and Ubuntu. When I go to a smaller resolution for my monitor, say 1280x1024, it fills my whole screen, but when I tell Ubuntu to use the monitor's native resolution of 1680x1050 it only fills part of the screen and it's shifted so far to the right that my monitor's adjustments in the menu don't fix it.
[02:59] <usser> MrPiracy: theres a 64bit java virtual machine its just theres no 64bit plugin
[02:59] <ArrPirate> I've tried rebooting a couple times and disconnecting the monitor and leaving it disconnected for a couple minutes.
[02:59] <Dreamore> Heya!
[02:59] <coolbam14> so is there a way?
[03:00] <pppZero> techqbert, i wish i could say the same thing, but its not effecting windows either :( just oo.o
[03:00] <wingot> Hey
[03:00] <usser> frojnd: hm weird, well we can do it other way important things are your windows files there?
[03:00] <wingot> How would I install Ubuntu Server on Raid-1?
[03:00] <Dreamore> I need help!
[03:00] <MrPiracy> usser: ok, thankx
[03:00] <wingot> It's detecting the two physical drives seperately
[03:00] <frojnd> usser, yes they are tere, only root can access them
[03:00] <wingot> Even though the motherboard is doing Raid-1 for them
[03:00] <MrPiracy> anyone knows how to fix the segmentation fault error when trying to run kiba-dock on 64bit system?
[03:01] <techqbert> pppZero: what about impress or the other oo apps?  ya could always try abiword, it's a little lighter
[03:01] <usser> frojnd: cool cool now open /etc/fstab once again and add users after ntfs-3g
[03:01] <pppZero> techqbert, i'll give abiword a spin, i was just using oo cause its there :)
[03:01] <Cpudan80> Hello all

[03:02] <ArrPirate> so, does anyone know how to fix my monitor problem with Ubuntu?

[03:02] <witepa> Okay, I messed up big. I think I destroyed GRUB in the MBR. Can someone help me reinstall it?
[03:02] <wease|> hello folks
[03:02] <Hammer89> I'm having a problem getting the system monitor to run... when I try running it from terminal it feeds me this error: http://hammer89.pastebin.com/m7e950dad
[03:02] <Wasney> For some reason ubuntu is having trouble booting...it takes about 2 minutes or longer to boot, and sometimes just sits there doing nothing untill I restart.
[03:03] <MrPiracy> usser: how about a client?
[03:03] <frojnd> usser, I'm trying to umount it but it says something that device is busy
[03:03] <Dreamore> When I try to boot from live cd It says: "/bin/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off"
[03:03] <usser> MrPiracy: in case of java i'd install opera and just use 32bit java
[03:03] <techqbert> pppZero: I know the feeling.  I always keep abiword handy on lesser machines like my gentoo-loaded ibook g3
[03:03] <usser> MrPiracy: hm, built in nautilus does just fine
[03:03] <Wasney> For some reason ubuntu is having trouble booting...it takes about 2 minutes or longer to boot, and sometimes just sits there doing nothing untill I restart. Anyone wan to help me out?
[03:03] <pppZero> MrPiracy, i'm not a great fan of the linux ftp clients, nautilus (gnome file manager) does a fairly good job of handling ftp
[03:04] <usser> frojnd: close all the programs that have your windows partition open
[03:04] <MrPiracy> usser: that's ok, i found a website that has a work around for it, i'll give it a try
[03:04] <usser> Wasney: when it just starts press esc that takes you to boot menu
[03:04] <MrPiracy> usser: thx for the ftp tips
[03:04] <frojnd> usser, everything is closed just terminal
[03:04] <usser> Wasney: press e on the very first line
[03:04] <aO|DB-DX> Can anyone help me out? I want to resize a partition... i have this unused space(16 gigs) that i cannot do anything with
[03:05] <wease|> if esc doesnt work go with ctrl-alt-backspace to the login
[03:05] <Vadi> How can I start another gedit? Whatever I try, it opens a tab in the current one
[03:05] <frojnd> usser, nevermind, I was in that partition..
[03:05] <Wasney> usser: I will try that next time I reboot, thanks.
[03:05] <usser> Wasney: and delete "splash" at the end after that press enter and "b"
[03:05] <silas428> what is the difference between someone who programs self taught and someone who progams taught by a teacher/university
[03:05] <kercyr> Is there a reason to keep 386 version of the kernel around?  Can I safely remove it?
[03:05] <usser> Wasney: that should temporarily start ubuntu without splash screen so that u can see whats going on when it boots
[03:05] <eck090> nobody knows how i can minimize a full screen program?
[03:05] <kercyr> I'm running the generic version.
[03:06] <IndyGunFreak> kercyr: i probably wouldn't *remove* it, just in case, but you can comment it out of your grub if you want
[03:06] <usser> frojnd: in terminal do cd\
[03:06] <witepa> When I try to reinstall GRUB, nothing works. Nothing that I try to works. I cannot get Ubuntu to boot. What could the problem be?
[03:06] <silas428> echo090: alt-tab?
[03:06] <usser> frojnd: cd\
[03:06] <eck090> doesnt work
[03:06] <usser> frojnd: err cd
[03:06] <Wasney> usser: K. Thanks That should help me find my problem
[03:06] <wease|> wasney...it could be a safe effort on your side to reinstall as the workarounds arent a fix
[03:06] <Hammer89> *tries once more* I'm having a problem getting the system monitor to run... when I try running it from terminal it feeds me this error: http://hammer89.pastebin.com/m7e950dad
[03:06] <IndyGunFreak> kercyr: at least if its only commented out, if you ever need it for some reason, boot to cli, remove the # sign,a nd its baack in your menu
[03:06] <eck090> could be something with cedega i guess
[03:06] <Hammer89> any ideas? anyone?
[03:06] <astro76> Dreamore: either try the alternate cd, or there are some potential solutions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=421588 (here's the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/99757 )

[03:07] <Wasney> Wease\|: is there any way I can save setting to a USB drive then? So I dont have to reinstall all my apps, drivers, and reset setting?
[03:07] <Hammer89> wease|: wait... no
[03:07] <kercyr> IndyGunFreak, yeah... it makes me queasy to remove it.  But, the grub.conf needs to get updated every time I upgrade.  I guess I could be worse off.
[03:07] <usser> frojnd: no if u mounted it now it should let u modify the files
[03:07] <MrPiracy> silas428: yes, u make money go round
[03:07] <Hammer89> wease|: but I can run it if I run sudo gnome-system-monitor from terminal
[03:07] <IndyGunFreak> kercyr: yeah, don't remove it, juts comment it out, so its not in your menu when you boot up
[03:07] <astro76> Dreamore: I would try the alternate install cd first
[03:08] <silas428> Mrpiracy: I am in an IT program that offers no progamming classes, but I want to learn to program, should I switch to CS?
