[21:15] <saml> how can I check if port 443 is open or not?  like, firewall?
[21:16] <RetrogradeCultur> Hi
[21:16] <kubotaz4> Has there been issues with connecting wirelessly with 7.10?  I am having trouble.
[21:16] <DIFH-iceroot> saml: nmap ip -p 443
[21:16] <P_Kable> first of all haw can I change owner from root to david ?
[21:16] <ActionParsnip> P_Kable: check your smb.conf and make sure the share is writable and that the correct writable account is set
[21:16] <DIFH-iceroot> P_Kable: chown
[21:16] <P_Kable> ActionParsnip=> I will but I want to  fix this owner thing
[21:16] <ActionParsnip> P_Kable: you set it at mount. check some fstab guides
[21:16] <P_Kable> sudo chown david /media/sde1 ?
[21:16] <MarcC> livestation is asking me where to install it. Is /usr/local/Livestation ok, or should I put something else?
[21:17] <Randal1> auto lo
[21:17] <Randal1> iface lo inet loopback                          that is what is already in my interfaces file in network if i set it up for reading wireless do i add more lines of code or write over what is currently there?
[21:17] <saml> DIFH-iceroot, thank you
[21:17] <soundray> Randal1: don't paste stuff here
[21:17] <ActionParsnip> Randal1: if you run ifconfig do you have wlan0 or ath0
[21:17] <Neodemi> i dont understand firestarter, is there a way to tell it to allow incoming and outgoing traffic on a specific set of ports, and nothing else
[21:17] <ejer> P_Kable: try 'sudo chown david:david /media/sde1 -R'
[21:18] <P_Kable> owner is still root
[21:18] <Randal1> wlan0
[21:18] <keithclark> Where do programs normally install to?  Which directory?
[21:18] <ActionParsnip> P_Kable: edit yur fstab dude
[21:18] <P_Kable> but if I check under root, I'm the owner !
[21:18] <Fri13> Hi, what version of OS is in Ubuntu 8.04.1? Is it 2.6.27, or is that version coming to 8.10?
[21:19] <P_Kable> sudo nautilus /media, and then I check the perm tab, david is owner ! weird no ?
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> Randal1: then its auto wlan0   iface wlan0 inet dhcp
[21:19] <d2tehp> whenever i boot my ubuntu box, its has dual nics by the way, eth0 never gets an ip address, eth1 gets one though. if i run sudo dhclient eth0 after logging in, it grabs an ip just fine, any idea why and what i can do to fix it?
[21:19] <DIFH-iceroot> Fri13: 8.04 has 2.6.24  8.10 has 2.6.27
[21:19] <P_Kable> !fstab
[21:19] <leipepo> gksudo nautilus /media
[21:19] <P_Kable> !wiki fstab
[21:19] <Randal1> do i need to add any other lines action?
[21:20] <thiebaude> 2.6.27-7 in 8.10 Fri13
[21:20] <vts> anyone got 4500MHD card?
[21:20] <vts> and got it to work with ubuntu? with all eyecandy?
[21:20] <Fri13> thiebaude: Thanks.
[21:20] <soundray> !anyone | vts
[21:20] <thiebaude> yw, fri13
[21:20] <P_Kable> I do not get the fstab file
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> Randal1: you may need to provide yuor wep key in there as its gonna ask you when you connect otherwise
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> P_Kable: then websearch to see how its laid out
[21:21] <Randal1> okay so i just type my wep key a line down? also it says I don't have permission to save it
[21:21] <P_Kable> this is the line for the drive:
[21:21] <P_Kable> UUID=9560f558-0329-4e3b-9f89-213c7ff2e650       /media/sde1     ext3    relatime        0       2       noatime
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> P_Kable: its a partition, not a drive
[21:22] <P_Kable> yep
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> P_Kable: sde is the physical drive, sde1 is the first partition
[21:22] <Neodemi> what is the 'firewall host' in firestarter?
[21:22] <P_Kable> so dev/sde ?
[21:22] <Reaverbot> soundray: help pages?
[21:22] <soundray> P_Kable: it's also wrong. You should have either relattime or noatime, not both. noatime is in the wrong place.
[21:23] <P_Kable> soundray=> so what should I have ?
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> P_Kable: /dev/sde is a physical drive you can touch and feel
[21:23] <soundray> Reaverbot: read the private message that ubottu sent you
[21:23] <soundray> P_Kable: relatime
[21:23] <P_Kable> ActionParsnip=> yes I know
[21:24] <P_Kable> soundray=> will it fix my problem ?
[21:24] <Randal1> how do i save the edited interface file since it says i don't have permission to save it
[21:24] <Reaverbot> soundtray: Yeah, I have selected alsa mixer.
[21:24] <soundray> P_Kable: you haven't told me what your problem is
[21:24] <jclbrt> the trackpad on my macbook pro occassionally stops working in Ubuntu for some reason does anyone have an idea on how to fix this
[21:24] <cambazz> hello. is there a way so my computer will change desktop background periodically
[21:24] <ejer> http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fileowner.html <- P_Kable
[21:24] <kubotaz4> Im not able to burn a data DVD with the cd/dvd creator app or the GnomeBaker DVD creator..any suffestions?
[21:24] <soundray> cambazz: you never answered my earlier question
[21:24] <lastman> Why is it not possible to check if dma is enabled? hdparm -d /dev/sda prints  HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device. /dev/sda is an ide disk.
[21:25] <Randal1>  how do i save the edited interface file since it says i don't have permission to save it?
[21:25] <Neodemi> is there a site i can use to check if my firewall is working
[21:25] <jclbrt> i just recently reinstalled ubuntu 8.04. It did the same thing before, but then I asked someone in here and they were able to link me to a custom xorg.conf file that fixed it.. but now i cnt find that file again
[21:25] <RetrogradeCultur> does Ubuntu have a built-in hotkey for "lock screen"?
[21:25] <cambazz> soundray: I am sorry, what was your earlier question?
[21:25] <roukoun> can i use the Gentoo filer in ubuntu?
[21:25] <soundray> Randal1: save it to your home directory, then copy it with 'sudo cp ~/fstab /etc/'
[21:26] <Neodemi> lock screen is ctrl alt L
[21:26] <ActionParsnip> P_Kable: what filesystem is it using?
[21:26] <Reaverbot> soundtray: Dont know  what to do, I have the alsa mixer installed, but the mic doesn´t work in amsn or other program.
[21:26] <soundray> Randal1: next time, open system files for editing with gksudo gedit
[21:26] <RetrogradeCultur> ty Neodemi
[21:26] <P_Kable> ActionParsnip=> ext3
[21:26] <soundray> cambazz: never mind. Is your ssh daemon working now?
[21:26] <jclbrt> anyone have any idea on how to fix my trackpad

[21:28] <pete_> ok whats the channel for newbies?
[21:28] <ActionParsnip> P_Kable: make sure you only allow certain usernames and block root for security
[21:28] <cambazz> soundray: well this wallp, is it some standalone or integrated with gnome?
[21:28] <ActionParsnip> P_Kable: you'll need to smbpasswd the account you are allowing tooso it can connect
[21:29] <AlexC> I have been on this channel all afternoon. I am trying to get my ATI Radeon and Dell 20" 1680x1050 monitor to run at 1680x1050. I have tried everything in the ubunto FixingScreenResolutionHowTo and used displayconfig-gtk. I cannot get better than 1280x1024 which doesnt look very good. I need help desparately. Can someone please help me?
[21:29] <soundray> pete_: you are in it. It seems that nobody has a solution for your problem at the moment.
[21:29] <P_Kable> ActionParsnip=> this has been done a long time ago, it worked for years
[21:29] <joshual> does anyone use a gnome menu alternative?
[21:29] <jclbrt> :-\
[21:29] <ejer> cambazz: look at gbackground
[21:29] <soundray> cambazz: I don't know. Take it as a pointer and check it out
[21:29] <ActionParsnip> P_Kable: well it doesnt work now and thats what matters

[21:30] <AlexC> please please please.
[21:30] <ActionParsnip> kubotaz4: more info please
[21:30] <d2tehp> whenever i boot my ubuntu box, its has dual nics by the way, eth0 never gets an ip address, eth1 gets one though. if i run sudo dhclient eth0 after logging in, it grabs an ip just fine, any idea why and what i can do to fix it?
[21:30] <P_Kable> ActionParsnip=> when you add shares through the gui, it is supposed to edit you sbm.conf no ?
[21:30] <kubotaz4> I just posted above...
[21:30] <ejer> !synaptics | jclbrt
[21:30] <pete_> yeh well i wil, im pretty drunk now and dont ye well you nou..
[21:30] <FireInside> we we
[21:30] <kubotaz4> getting error message and disk ejects with cd.dvd creator and gnomebaker
[21:30] <joobaby> For some reason I can't watch videos on the internet, were trying to watch the office on nbc.com but it won't work, how do I get the latest nvidia drivers
[21:31] <Randal1> sound, how exactly do i copy the interfaces file back to where it orginally was (with my edits)
[21:31] <ActionParsnip> P_Kable: i believe so but i find it completely contembtible to use the gui, the config file is completely simple
[21:31] <Tundrayeti312>  kubotaz4: Perhaps share error message?
[21:31] <FireInside> Randal1: did you copy the file?
[21:31] <pete_> still im pretty mad for myself cant get it work
[21:31] <soundray> AlexC: okay, I'll bite. Want to meet in #ubuntu-classroom ?
[21:31] <Randal1> fire, no?
[21:31] <balzac> I'm having driver problems with ubuntu eee
[21:31] <semanticpc> any one here familiar with xsupplicant ???
[21:31] <P_Kable> because i have shares working (half working now) and nothing in smb.conf
[21:32] <jclbrt> thanx ejer
[21:32] <balzac> where can I go to discuss this?
[21:32] <FireInside> Randal1: what exactly did you do to the file?
[21:32] <Randal1> i'm not sure really how can i do it not at the command line and just copy paste?
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> P_Kable: I tried it once and the gui system was so confusing I had no idea what was going on and found adding a few humanly readable lines to a text file and restarting samba to be much simpler
[21:32] <kubotaz4> ARG!! I get a Failed Burning message with gnomebaker cd/dvd witer
[21:32] <Randal1> i opened it and edited it it wouldn't let me save it so i saved as to my home folder
[21:32] <kubotaz4> writer*
[21:32] <Randal1> and need to put it back now
[21:32] <soundray> Randal1: sorry, I mistook you for someone else. If you've opened a system file with gedit, you won't be able to save it to its original location. Save it to your home and copy it back with sudo cp
[21:32] <kubotaz4> its starts like its going to burn, then ejects the disk and I get the message
[21:32] <AlexC> csoundray - see you there
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> !burning | kubotaz4
[21:33] <P_Kable> ActionParsnip=> could you resend me your dummy smb.conf please ?
[21:33] <soundray> Randal1: in your case, the command would be 'sudo cp ~/interfaces /etc/network/'
[21:33] <FireInside> Randal1: so you edited the original file, couldnt save it to it, but saved it somewhere in home?
[21:33] <jclbrt> also now that i got the effects working on my laptop is there a way to get rid of the little outline i get when resizin a window in Ubuntu... If the effects are off I can resize the windows and the window resizes as i resize it
[21:33] <ActionParsnip> kubotaz4: you could try another app
[21:33] <emilien> need help with getting sound working
[21:33] <Randal1> yes
[21:33] <kubotaz4> i tried the standard cd/dvd creator...and that doesnt work either
[21:33] <pete_> "gonna drink myself to death"
[21:33] <Azhi_Dahaka> hmm...
[21:34] <emilien> how can i check that sound drivers are working ?
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> P_Kable: http://pastebin.com/mb825c0a

[21:34] <Azhi_Dahaka> anyone has experience with Integrated Card Readers?I want to check if mine is working, but I don't want to risk destroying one SD Card
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> P_Kable: the thing in brackets is the share name
[21:34] <P_Kable> ActionParsnip=> thanks
[21:34] <pete_> you can kill yourself easier than trying to get got damn ATI work
[21:34] <P_Kable> yeah I figured
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> P_Kable: the rest is self explanatory
[21:34] <Terabytten> I suppose this is as good a channel for n00bs as any.
[21:34] <P_Kable> yup
[21:34] <After_Math> Randal1, do what soundray said or   " sudo cp /home/'interfaces' /etc/network/
[21:34] <ejer> !ot | pete_
[21:35] <thiebaude> it sure is
[21:35] <After_Math> Randal1, unless you named it something else, rename it to interfaces then copy
[21:35] <Terabytten> Okay, so, if I want to install something, but the install file I have is a .tar.bz2 and opened as an archive, how would I install it? I'm very new to Linux. I reveived a Ubuntu 8.04 disk in the mail last night.

[21:54] <xbxb> Hey... I have a dual boot system with Windows and Linux and a monitor capable of displaying 1920x1600... however, every time I start my PC, the max resolution is only 1600x1200 in both Win and Linux, and the higher resolution of 1920x1600 is only available after unplugging and re-plugging the monitor. What could cause this?
[21:54] <thiebaude> brb, booting into fluxbox
[21:54] <Davi1> Keep having problems with my wireless connection stability. It's in a known-good location, but it gets wireless signal below fifty percent much of the time, and thusly disconnecs me.
[21:55] <slestak> anyone else seeing an repo signature failure from the us.archive.ubuntu.com server?

[21:55] <RetrogradeCultur> is it safe to run irc on ubuntu with your normal login? would there have to be a psudo to do something mallicious ?
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> zerko: no, he wants it
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> RetrogradeCultur: running web apps as sudo is a security risk
[21:56] <DJDarkstar> Hi
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> RetrogradeCultur: run as little as you can as root and definatly dont log on as root for daily tasks
[21:56] <P_Kable> ActionParsnip=> smbtree is back, probably some cache issue ! Thanks a lot !
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> P_Kable: sweet
[21:56] <carandraug> just for the record I found how to do that. "U+2103" has to be Ctrl+Shift+u and then 2103. Once you press space you'll get the celsius degree character (or the character for the hexadecimal code you used)
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> P_Kable: do you see how easy the smb.conf file is?
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> thiebaude: http://img325.imageshack.us/img325/8974/tux0011024x7684hn.png
[21:57] <P_Kable> yep
[21:57] <P_Kable> super duper easy !
[21:57] <thiebaude> thanks im back in fluxbox, thanks actionparsnip
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> P_Kable: you can now ssh into the box and sudo nano that file, add more entries and restart samba to get more shares
[21:57] <keithclark> How do I find out which device my tv tuner card is?
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> P_Kable: gui is retarded
[21:57] <dulak> keithclark: lspci should show it
[21:57] <P_Kable> ActionParsnip=> yeah I use ssh all the time
[21:57] <DJDarkstar> Does anyone know off the top of their heads if a AverTV M780 (HD Tuner) PCIe works with Ubuntu... or if PCIe is even supported yet?
[21:58] <keithclark> dulak, no, it doesn't seem to show up there
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> P_Kable: then yuou see the power of non gui configs
[21:59] <P_Kable> of course
[21:59] <dulak> keithclark: then it's probably not being initialized and won't work
[21:59] <keithclark> dulak, ah, I see.
[21:59] <dulak> keithclark: it's a card and not usb right?
[21:59] <Randal2> sorry my internet died so i was wondering what exactly was the command to copy my system file back to where it belongs (etc/network)
[21:59] <keithclark> dulak, yes ATI TV Wonder card
[21:59] <ActionParsnip> P_Kable: i love showing people that editing config files and leaving the gui is way easier
[21:59] <thiebaude> actionparsnip:i got it and its sweet
[22:00] <dulak> keithclark: yeah the wonder doesn't work in linux afaik
[22:00] <devmon> Hello, I've been trying to get an Ubuntu client to work with an Open Directory Server (Leopard). I've followed this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OSXLDAPClientAuthentication and when I do the getent passwd command, I do not see any users on the open directory list
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> thiebaude: recognise!
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> :D
[22:00] <keithclark> dulak, shoot.  I just wanted the video in feature to capture some stuff off of my camcorder
[22:00] <Randal2> sorry my internet died so i was wondering what exactly was the command to copy my system file back to where it belongs (etc/network)
[22:01] <dulak> keithclark: ati hasn't released any info on the wonder, or linux drivers
[22:01] <thiebaude> :)
[22:01] <Azhi_Dahaka> No luck, i guess...
[22:01] <Azhi_Dahaka> ok... ttyl
[22:02] <devmon> So, has anyone successfully authenticated an Ubuntu client against an Open Directory server?
[22:02] <Terabytten> Would it be possible to get more than just two desktops?

[22:08] <Some_Person> I am trying to make usplash not look stretched in 1280x800. I tried to edit the existing images for usplash-theme-ubuntu, and it doesn't look stretched, but it looks a bit pixely

[22:09] <AciD> Evening, im trying to run the game Openarena wich i just installed, but all it does is start a window, go black screen, then back to the desktop.. What to do ?
[22:09] <gouki> ejer, thank you. I'll look into it.
[22:10] <diffredential> anyone knows a cool skin for XChat?
[22:10] <ejer> AciD: https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/hardware.html you may need to enable 3d acceleration
[22:11] <keithclark> dulak, is that safe to install?
[22:11] <Misterjos> hey, is there a website with pros and cons for installing 64bit ubuntu vs 32bit? I'm on debian etch now, and planning to install ubuntu 8.04LTS, but i'm still in doubt about this.
[22:11] <Some_Person> So does anyone know how to make usplash not look stretched or pixely at 1280x800?
[22:11] <xbxb> How can I make ubuntu show all screen resolutions (not just those that it thinks are available)
[22:11] <xbxb> ?
[22:11] <ejer> Misterjos: imo if you have over 4GB RAM use 64 bit, if less use 32
[22:11] <gouki> ejer, BTW, there is also a 'Lock' option under Synaptic Package Manager.
[22:11] <ulises> what kind of video card you have?
[22:12] <AciD> ejer, ill take a look at it, ty
[22:12] <Terabytten> How to get more than two desktops?
[22:12] <Some_Person> ejer: What should you use if you have exactly 4GB RAM?
[22:12] <go_beep_yourself> how do i check freespace in ubuntu with command line?
[22:12] <ulises> in the properties
[22:12] <go_beep_yourself> how do i check the size of a partition in gb with command line?
[22:12] <gouki> go_beep_yourself, type df
[22:12] <devmon> So has anyone authenticated Ubuntu against an Open Directory Master?
[22:12] <Misterjos> ok, thanks ejer.
[22:12] <ulises> you can download the new ubuntu tweak 4.0
[22:12] <ejer> Some_Person: I would use 64 (you will only see ~3 otherwise) but some plugins like flash and java are a pain
[22:13] <gouki> go_beep_yourself, you can use use the -h switch to make it human readable.
[22:13] <ejer> go_beep_yourself: df -h
[22:13] <Some_Person> ejer: Well, I just installed 64
[22:13] <Terabytten> If a response to my question was mentioned I missed it...
[22:13] <keithclark> dulak, ah, but that is for the all-in-wonders.  I have the TV Wonder
[22:13] <patco444> hi

[22:14] <ferronica> i am unable to do change permission on /boot
[22:14] <Some_Person> ejer: I have flash working fine. All you do is install "flashplugin-nonfree" (and its dependencies of cource)
[22:14] <Terabytten> Are there any draw-backs towards extra desktops?
[22:14] <skinnymg1_> Mihaela is here name christain
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> Terabytten: memory usage goes higher]
[22:14] <soundray> ejer: I am sure I am running nspluginwrapper as provided by the flashplugin-nonfree package and its dependencies
[22:14] <ejer> Some_Person: good stuff... it may crash occasionally... so if you already installed, why ask which is better
[22:15] <Some_Person> ejer: Well, youtube works. That's what I mostly use flash for
[22:15] <Terabytten> Four desktops should be fine with 1.25 GB RAM?

[22:16] <kaervek> ActionParsnip: I've successfully booted that Ubuntu partition on my MacBook.  The only thing that changed was my OS X upgrade (from 10.4.6 to 10.4.11).  Any idea why (or even IF) the OS X upgrade would have any effect on Ubuntu's usability / stability? o.O
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> kaervek: no idea, im not a mac user
[22:16] <pw-toxic> i have just used /etc/init.d/apache2 start  and now i can see an "it works" web pace at localhost
[22:16] <kaervek> I simply thought I'd try the boot one last time before booting the Live CD, and it worked. =O
[22:17] <pw-toxic> where can i find the html file for this output?
[22:17] <MarcC> thanks Some_Person

[22:17] <exco> can I somewhere lookup the messages that go by when booting up?
[22:17] <soundray> amikrop: e.g. gimp
[22:17] <MarcC> what does "found more than one resume device candidate" mean?
[22:17] <ejer> amikrop: agave is great
[22:17] <kaervek> amikrop: isn't this available in PShop or Gimp?
[22:17] <Some_Person> puma472: Be more specific
[22:18] <pw-toxic> can anyone help me with this?
[22:18] <kaervek> amikrop: with the eye-dropper?

[22:18] <amikrop> ok
[22:18] <amikrop> I will try gimp
[22:18] <amikrop> thanks
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> pw-toxic: look at your apache.conf file
[22:18] <pw-toxic> ejer: i looked at this directory and there is no file
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> pw-toxic: it'll say where apache starts
[22:19] <pw-toxic> ActionParsnip: do you mean http.conf in /etc/apache2 ?
[22:19] <puma472> e.g i can't change server
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> pw-toxic: i think its htmldocs
[22:19] <pw-toxic> ActionParsnip: where can i find apache.conf ?
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> pw-toxic: yeah it should say the folder it starts from
[22:19] <ejer> pw-toxic: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/httpd.html
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> pw-toxic: sudo find / -name apache.conf
[22:19] <pw-toxic> well i have edited my httpd.conf
[22:19] <Some_Person> puma472: right click the Pidgin icon in your tray, click "Accounts"
[22:19] <pw-toxic> ok wait i try all this
[22:20] <puma472> thanks
[22:20] <ActionParsnip> pw-toxic: you could also read that file to see if its defined there]
[22:20] <ejer> pw-toxic: it is in /var/www/apache2-default/index.html
[22:20] <AciD> ejer, tried installing the glx driver thing, but it still doesnt work :(
[22:20] <darkone> Can someone help me I can't figure out how to make conky write to my desktop it opens in a window :(

[22:21] <DavidCanarias> Can anyone plse confirm to me if it is possible to compress films to get more than one on a DVD???
[22:21] <ejer> AciD: do you get errors?
[22:21] <ejer> DavidCanarias: sure it is
[22:21] <AciD> not while installing
[22:21] <darkone> Will someone help me with my conky problem
[22:21] <ActionParsnip> DavidCanarias: you could encode to avi to make them 700Mb or so, then yuo cna fit 4 on a disk
[22:22] <DavidCanarias> ejer: Thks a lot, its what I thought, but how can you do it?
[22:22] <ActionParsnip> darkone: ive not used it in metacity, only fluxbox
[22:22] <ejer> DavidCanarias: install avidemux
[22:22] <ActionParsnip> DavidCanarias: ffmpeg and mencode
[22:22] <kubotaz4> upgrading to 8.04 from the update manager says that I dont have an internet connection?  any help?
[22:22] <DavidCanarias> Actionarsnip: Thks too, but if I convert to avi surely this wouldn't play on all DVD players would it?
[22:22] <AciD> ejer,  but i get an error when i try and activate the drivers
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> DavidCanarias: some may have issues
[22:23] <ulises> does somebody use already ubuntu beta 10.0
[22:23] <DavidCanarias> ejer: last time I played with avidemux I didn't get anywhere a all....
[22:23] <ejer> DavidCanarias: to play on dvd players you must use a DVD compatible format, depends on player, some can do divx
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> ulises: do you mean intrepid?
[22:23] <DavidCanarias> ActionParsnip: what is ffmpeg and mencode?
[22:23] <pw-toxic> ActionParsnip: now i can understand my fault.. i thought i have to look in the folder <ServerRoot>/ <DocumentRoot>  i specified in httpd.conf
[22:23] <ulises> yes interpid
[22:24] <NeoMatrixJR> Q?: I'm installing ubuntu 8.10.  I have a dual-boot system that I formatted the previous ubuntu partition and I'm going to load ubuntu 8.10 to that partition now.  Do I want to re-install grub, or just uncheck "install boot loader" since grub's already there.  Will ubuntu still have a /boot/grub/menu.lst even if I don't install the boot loader?
[22:24] <pw-toxic> i have found the folder
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> DavidCanarias: its too complex to explain here, websearchng will tell you more than i ever can
[22:24] <DavidCanarias> ActionParsnip: Thks for your help.
[22:24] <ferronica> i am unable to do change permission on /boot
[22:24] <ulises> you think i should update from 4.0 to intrepid
[22:24] <ejer> DavidCanarias: avidemux is the best tool, especially for going to dvd http://www.avidemux.org/admWiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> NeoMatrixJR: id backup yur menu.lst then overwrite once yuo get round
[22:24] <DavidCanarias> ejer: in that case this explains why the other day I put in a DVD with 4 films on it and my current DVD player only recognised one of them.
[22:25] <ActionParsnip> ferronica: sudo chown or sudo chmod is needed
[22:25] <Terabytten> Okay, so I have a Sansa Fuze 4GB mp3 player, and I was able to see it once before as removable media, however now am unable. Ideas as to why and how I might fix this?
[22:25] <mikeymike> anyone know of any good games for linux? nexuiz is good but i want more games
[22:25] <ActionParsnip> Terabytten: does it show up in sudo fdisk -l
[22:25] <ferronica> ActionParsnip: i did chmod
[22:25] <Some_Person> Is there a shockwave plugin for Linux?
[22:25] <ulises> imikeymike Alien Arena is a good game
[22:25] <ferronica> ActionParsnip: as sudo :(
[22:25] <ActionParsnip> ferronica: you'll need sudo
[22:25] <ejer> DavidCanarias: http://www.avidemux.org/admWiki/index.php?title=Converting_to_DVD
[22:25] <Odd-rationale> !games | mikeymike
[22:25] <ActionParsnip> ferronica: what are yuo trying to achieve
[22:26] <DavidCanarias> ActionParsnip: ejer: If I did put 4 films on one DVD and the person I gave the DVD to couldn't read it on his DVD player could he import to his computer and then re-record or would he need to reformat?
[22:26] <ulises> actionparsnip tell me, do you use already intrepid
[22:26] <NeoMatrixJR> ActionParsnip: menu.lst gone bye-bye.  Already formatted. (now realizing I killed windows boot until ubuntu is fixed)  Will ubuntu still have a /boot/grub if I don't install?  Will it cause dual boot issues if I re-install grub over grub?
[22:26] <ejer> DavidCanarias: he may be able to use them on comp, all depends what you did
[22:26] <Some_Person> !shockwave
[22:26] <ferronica> ActionParsnip: somehow on /boot directory all are set to 777
[22:26] <kubotaz4> what is the command from upgrading to 8.04 from 7.10 in the terminal
[22:26] <DarkGu1> My screen's resolution was detected incorrectly. Can I get the fixrez link?
[22:26] <victorio> hi
[22:26] <Odd-rationale> !upgrade
[22:27] <ferronica> ActionParsnip: which is not good, now when i trying to do chmod 644 no change :(
[22:27] <DavidCanarias> OK I get the idea, many thanks ejer: and ActionParsnip:
[22:27] <ejer> NeoMatrixJR: reinstalling should fix this, it will just install a new grub
[22:27] <Tundrayeti312> !downgrade
[22:27] <DarkGu1> !res
[22:27] <victorio> i've configured my touchpad , but it moves quickly
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> !grub | NeoMatrixJR
[22:27] <Odd-rationale> kubotaz4: i believe you can just do "sudo do-release-upgrade" or something like that...
[22:27] <kubotaz4> UBOTTO:  it says my internet connection isnt there...now what
[22:27] <victorio> and i configured that too , but when i restart my computer it woks bad again
[22:27] <Terabytten> Hm.
[22:27] <ferronica> ActionParsnip: do you have any idea ?
[22:28] <Terabytten> Apparently my office is going to try and start troubleshooting mothrboards too.
[22:28] <lakitu> simple question. my terminal window is huge, everytime i open it. i don't know what i did. but even if i resize it, when i open it again it's huge. how do i permanently resize it - it's default size - down to size?
[22:28] <Terabytten> I should try and get in there.
[22:28] <Tundrayeti312> !bot | kubotaz4
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> ferronica: sudo chown -R whatever permissions /boot
[22:28] <NicEXE> how can I find my network devices name (like eth0 or ppp0) (I am on ubuntu)
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> ferronica: or do it from live cd
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> NicEXE: ifconfig
[22:29] <ferronica> ActionParsnip: nothing changed i did :(
[22:29] <DavidCanarias> ejer: ActionParsnip: Do you know which type of format reads on most DVD players?
[22:29] <Terabytten> I'm not seeing it under sudo fdisk -L
[22:29] <Odd-rationale> lakitu: i think it might have stored some settings either in ~/.gnome2 or ~/.gconf ... look for some gnome-terminal settings. then try deleting that file/dir
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> DavidCanarias: id read your manual, see what it can do

[22:30] <ognirc> Where can I download the alternative cd?  I don't see it mentioned on the official site.
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> Terabytten: then try powering it off and on. does the thing have a disk mode like ipods do
[22:30] <ejer> !alternative
[22:30] <Some_Person> Is there a version of Shockwave or an alternative compatible program for Linux?
[22:30] <Terabytten> It does, I am already trying that now, nothing is showing up yet.
[22:30] <DavidCanarias> Thanks guys for your help.
[22:30] <Terabytten> It may be the USB port, but the device displays that is IS connected.
[22:30] <ulises> how do i get to the kernel to path my wireless card drivers? Please help!!!
[22:31] <ActionParsnip> Some_Person: not that ive seen. Is it still used?
[22:31] <lakitu> Odd-rationale, ok thanks
[22:31] <Terabytten> Same results when under MSC mode.
[22:31] <Some_Person> ActionParsnip: Some sites still use shockwave, mostly for games
[22:31] <ActionParsnip> Terabytten: give it a little bit
[22:31] <ferronica> ActionParsnip: whole /boot directory set to read,write and execute
[22:31] <Terabytten> How long is a little bit?
[22:31] <ActionParsnip> Terabytten: does lsusb show anything?
[22:31] <ActionParsnip> Terabytten: like 10 seconds
[22:31] <ejer> Terabytten: it should show up in nautilus on left side once you plug it
[22:31] <Odd-rationale> Some_Person: the only way to get shockwave for linux is either use ies4linux or firefox under ine
[22:31] <Odd-rationale> &wine
[22:32] <ejer> ferronica: what is the problem?
[22:32] <ulises> Action Parsnip how do i get to the kernel to path my wireless card drivers? Please help!!!
[22:32] <victorio> i install the touch pad from my dell xps , but it moves quickly , and i've configured that , but when y restart my pc , it works bad again
[22:32] <ferronica> ejer: problem with /boot permission
[22:32] <Terabytten> I see.. Belkin Components, my wireless adapter, Dell Computer Corp, my mouse, and Logitech Cordless Desktop, my keyboard.
[22:32] <Odd-rationale> lakitu: i don't use gnome-terminal myself... so i could point you to the exact file... :(
[22:32] <Some_Person> Odd-rationale: Wine is the devil
[22:32] <ulises> how do i get to the kernel to patch my wireless card drivers? Please help!!!
[22:32] <ferronica> ejer: whole /boot directory set to read,write and execute
[22:32] <Terabytten> But I just unplugged it, switched to auto-detect mode, and plugged it back in.
[22:32] <ActionParsnip> ulises: ok is it usb wifi or internal?
[22:32] <Odd-rationale> Some_Person: some may thing that... :P
[22:32] <ejer> ferronica: yes, but what is the actual problem? can't boot?
[22:32] <Odd-rationale> think*
[22:32] <ferronica> ejer: i can boot
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> Terabytten: could try a reboot with it plugged in
[22:33] <MarcC> what does a UUID do?
[22:33] <ulises> internal
[22:33] <ferronica> ejer: but i cant change permissions on /boot
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> ulises: ok what does lspci say it is?
[22:33] <ejer> ferronica: sudo chmod 755 /boot
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> ejer: -R ;)
[22:33] <ejer> MarcC: uniquely identifies the object
[22:34] <ferronica> ejer: i did every possibility let try again
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> MarcC: is this in fstab?
[22:34] <Terabytten> Hmm... This doesn't seem to effective at this point. I'm going to try a different USB port.
[22:34] <ejer> ActionParsnip: could be...
[22:34] <ulises> i try to use for work some snifer network and is telling me the injection data is not working because the drivers have to be patch
[22:34] <ejer> ActionParsnip: well no, that would set wrong perms on files
[22:34] <chazco> Hi... anyone know of a network simulator similar to OpNet for Ubuntu?
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> chazco: opnet is awesome
[22:34] <ferronica> ejer: nothing happend :(
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> chazco: not sure in ubuntu though
[22:35] <ferronica> ejer: same result :(
[22:35] <MarcC> ActionParsnip: it's identifying my /dev/sda5 resume partition, but it seems to be identified as an extra resume candidate :P
[22:35] <MarcC> where sda5 is the other candidate
[22:35] <lakitu> Odd-rationale, i was using gconf-editor, so you're probably right. but i was editing awn, so i don't know why that'd affect terminal
[22:35] <lakitu> gnome-terminal, that is
[22:35] <victorio> how do i configure well my touch pad ??
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> MarcC: the uuid is inverted to give the chod style access privs
[22:36] <ejer> ferronica: pastebin your /etc/fstab and the results of ls -la /
[22:36] <MarcC> so how do I tell initramfs, "pick either one, they're the SAME device"
[22:36] <ferronica> ejer: ok
[22:36] <MarcC> ActionParsnip: I don't understand what you mean
[22:36] <Odd-rationale> lakitu: is there a gnome-terinal dir/file in ~/.gnome2?
[22:36] <lakitu> i don't see one, Odd-rationale
[22:36] <Odd-rationale> lakitu: how about in ~/.config
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> MarcC: 000 gives full access, if you binary invert the bits you get 777 which is rwx for all users
[22:37] <MarcC> oh :)
[22:37] <lakitu> Odd-rationale, oh wait, i wasn't looking in root. now i am
[22:37] <ferronica> ejer: http://paste.ubuntu.com/58981/
[22:37] <lakitu> let me gksudo nautilus it
[22:37] <syssan> hi, i just installed compiz fusion and the top window border with mini/maximize is gone. im sure there is a settings to get this back but i cant find it. can anyone help?
[22:37] <Odd-rationale> lakitu: no, don't need to look in /root
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> syssan: you using nvidia?
[22:37] <Odd-rationale> lakitu: look in ~
[22:38] <MarcC> why would I have an automatix-generated sda2 in my fstab?
[22:38] <Pelo> good afternoon folks, I need to change the MTU for eth2 permanently, can anyone tell me which file I need to edit ?
[22:38] <syssan> ActionParsnip, hum.. dont know. it's on my new Eee 901 :)
[22:38] <ejer> ferronica: that is a weird fstab, what type of system is this and did you set this up
[22:38] <lakitu> Odd-rationale, no there isn't, apparently
[22:38] <RyeBrye> Any idea what I should look to to start troubleshooting a strange issue I'm having with gamepads? The second I connect one - X crashes and restarts itself. With one of my gamepads, X will let me log in and such - but the second I press a button it will crash and gdm will come up again...
[22:38] <lakitu> Odd-rationale, oh ok - where?
[22:39] <ActionParsnip> syssan: id head over to #compiz
[22:39] <lakitu> in / ?
[22:39] <lakitu> Odd-rationale, there's none in /
[22:39] <Terabytten> Still nothing picking up on that mp3 player.
[22:39] <Fah> >pelo: have a look at /etc/network/interfaces
[22:39] <Pelo> thanks Fah
[22:39] <syssan> ActionParsnip: ah, thx
[22:39] <Odd-rationale> lakitu: in /home/<your_username>
[22:39] <ferronica> ejer: i installed via wubi
[22:39] <blunder> hey

[22:39] <Fah> np
[22:39] <chazco> Some applications dont fit on 1024x600... i've been told a smaller theme may help... any suggestions?
[22:39] <ferronica> ejer: http://paste.ubuntu.com/58984/
[22:39] <lakitu> Odd-rationale,  forgot what ~ meant
[22:39] <Fah> Pelo:  there's an interfaces man page that explains it all
[22:39] <Odd-rationale> lakitu: ~ == user's home directory...
[22:39] <AciD> ejer,  just wanted to say thanks. Installed latest nvidia drivers but forgot to enable them :) All works now, ty
[22:39] <Terabytten> It should be read right now as just removable storage. It's connected through a proprietary USB connection, but I don' tthink that would impact it. Seems like it should be simple enough..
[22:40] <ferronica> ejer: is there any problem in fstab ?
[22:40] <ejer> ferronica: why do you think it is wrong for boot to be what it is?
[22:40] <blunder> is it safe to assume that the kubuntu and the ubuntu update sources are different?
[22:40] <ActionParsnip> Terabytten: what device is it again?
[22:40] <Some_Person> Why are there so many people who claim there are big issues with flash and java on Ubuntu64?
[22:40] <ejer> no blunder same thing
[22:40] <blocky> okay who is the uber compiz guru here?
[22:40] <Terabytten> Sansa Fuze 4GB
[22:40] <ejer> cause there are Some_Person
[22:40] <ferronica> ejer: because if ammend anything in menu.lst i dont need to sudo
[22:40] <ActionParsnip> blocky: head into #compiz
[22:41] <Terabytten> It's a Sandisk product.
[22:41] <Some_Person> Yeah, but `sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree sun-java6-bin` installs both perfectly
[22:41] <ejer> ferronica: i don't know wubi very well, but I think this is just how it is done... you want this to be more secure you are saying?
[22:41] <lakitu> Odd-rationale, in gnome-terminal, there's %gconf.xml files which are blank
[22:41] <ferronica> ejer: yup
[22:41] <ejer> well they install fine Some_Person, they just don't keep working fine
[22:41] <blunder> I installed the kubuntu 8.10 and hated the kde so I installed ubuntu-desktop under kubuntu
[22:42] <Some_Person> ejer: Working fine here
[22:42] <jclbrt> what should I know about installing new themes in GNOME
[22:42] <ferronica> ejer: by default it should be like this
[22:42] <blunder> suddenly I had 400+ updates
[22:42] <Odd-rationale> lakitu: how about in ~/.gnome2 ?
[22:42] <ActionParsnip> Terabytten: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5731017
[22:42] <jclbrt> like do I use the GTK 1.x or the GTK 2.x
[22:42] <ferronica> ejer: only SUDO can ammend
[22:42] <lakitu> Odd-rationale, nothing
[22:42] <ejer> ferronica: you installed it within windows, it is not a default install...
[22:42] <jonathan__> hello everyone
[22:42] <jclbrt> or do I use the Compiz ones
[22:42] <Odd-rationale> lakitu: and in ~/.config?
[22:42] <Some_Person> jclbrt: GTK1 is long deprecated. Everone uses GTK2
[22:42] <ferronica> ejer: yes within window
[22:42] <Pelo> brb
[22:42] <DarkGu1> Is horizsync and vertrefresh always a range or can it be a single number?
[22:43] <MarcC> should I remove uswsusp?
[22:43] <misteralexander> I'm having video output errors.  VLC gives me audio, but a black screen for video . . . any ideas?  I'm on a Fresh Install of 8.04
[22:43] <jclbrt> ok thanx Some_Person

[22:43] <fridge> I'm encountering a strange problem, when I'm on 2.6.24-19-generic everything is fine, but when I upgraded to 2.6.27-7-generic, I can connect to other networked hosts within my lan, but everytime I try and connect to a server outside of my LAN, the connection appears to get stuck in the SYN_SENT state -- does anyone know what could have changed between these two versions to have caused this?
[22:43] <blunder> also is open office 3 available
[22:43] <Odd-rationale> lakitu: anything folder or file that looks like it might effect gnome-terminal... :P
[22:43] <blunder> for ubuntu?

[22:43] <erUSUL> fridge: 2.6.27 is 8.10 kernel ask in #ubuntu+1

[22:44] <DarkGu1> Is horizontal sync and veritcal refresh always a range?
[22:44] <Some_Person> ferronica: You should do I real install
[22:44] <blunder> Some_Person, really its final on windows
[22:44] <ejer> ferronica: if you want to try to fix it, the problem is that /boot is bind mounted
[22:44] <hateball> Some_Person, blunder: It's available, but not in the official repos. Works fine from the home page tho
[22:44] <lakitu> Odd-rationale, ok none

[22:45] <lakitu> Odd-rationale, nothing
[22:45] <Some_Person> ejer: True
[22:45] <ejer> ferronica: you installed ubuntu inside windows, which is a good way to test, but it is not a 'real' install
[22:45] <misteralexander> ActionParsnip: All of the ones I can think of . . . The Gstreamer "Good, Bad & Ugly", the Ubuntu Restricted . . .
[22:45] <Odd-rationale> lakitu: hmm. ok... idk then... Sorry... :(
[22:45] <ferronica> ejer: ya you are right

[22:46] <Terabytten> That article doesn't seem to apply here.
[22:46] <ferronica> ejer: i have to reinstall ubuntu
[22:46] <curtis> how can i get effects when i close a window?
[22:46]  * lakitu tries to logout
[22:46] <hajar> hi
[22:46] <Terabytten> In that article it's being read and it's seen there, it's just that the software isn't reading the media on the disk.
[22:46] <nodealmsft> Does anyone know how I can boot my ubuntu box into KDE?
[22:46] <ejer> ferronica: i would... if you are happy enough with the tests.. it is logical next step
[22:46] <ferronica> ejer: one more thing can i increase my home director hdd space
[22:47] <DarkGu1> Hello?
[22:47] <Terabytten> Having problems, at this poing, getting Ubuntu to just recognize the device.
[22:47] <ThexLeopard> does anyone know how to delete a locked folder?
[22:47] <misteralexander> ActionParsnip: Thanks for the link . . . I'll read throught it.  THANKS!
[22:47] <SalentinoBonito> hi all
[22:47] <ejer> ferronica: the installer can do it, you may want to look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition
[22:48] <hajar> i try to hibernate my laptop but each time it stops working
[22:48] <SalentinoBonito> any of use is using ubuntu 8.10? i need to know wich wallpaper is set by default
[22:48] <ejer> !kde | nodealmsft
[22:48] <blunder> but just so you guys know ubuntu is a outstanding piece of work
[22:48] <soundray> SalentinoBonito: #ubuntu+1 for 8.10 questions please
[22:49] <SalentinoBonito> ok thank you
[22:49] <DarkGu1> Excuse me, but does anyone know if horizontal sync and vertical refresh are always ranges?
[22:49] <ejer> they do not have to be DarkGu1
[22:49] <keithclark> How can I tell if i2c, video4linux and bttv are installed and working?
[22:49] <soundray> DarkGu1: no. In prehistoric times, monitor sync frequencies were fixed
[22:50] <hajar>  i try to hibernate my laptop but each time it stops working.. what can i do ?
[22:50] <ejer> !hibernate | hajar
[22:50] <nodealmsft> ubottu, Thanks
[22:50] <Some_Person> hajar: How big is your swap drive and your RAM?
[22:50] <DarkGu1> soundray: My monitor is fairly new, but I could only get one value for each from Westinghouse.
[22:50] <ThexLeopard> can anyone help me delete a locked folder?
[22:51] <ejer> ThexLeopard: sudo rm file
[22:51] <lakitu> hey.. was screwing with the gconf-editor for awn, & now my terminal is over sized when i open it - how do set the default 'restore' size of the terminal?
[22:51] <yoyoned> ThexLeopard: where is the folder located
[22:51] <ejer> but sometimes they are locked for a reason ThexLeopard
[22:51] <hajar> i have 250 GB hr .. 2g RAM and 2.10 CPU
[22:51] <DarkGu1> My monitor is 1400 by 1050, but Ubuntu says my max resolution 1280 by 800. Should I try installing the Nvidia drivers for the GFX card?
[22:51] <P3X-018> I remember a dictionary software in ubuntu, where you could search meaning of english words, what is it called to get it through synaptic?
[22:51] <soundray> DarkGu1: what's "fairly new"? Anything younger than 20 years should have a range of horizontal and vertical sync frequencies
[22:52] <ThexLeopard> its in my shared folder yoyoned, someone copied some files across to my computer but i have no need for them anymore, but the folders been locked
[22:52] <Some_Person> hajar: How big is your swap partition?
[22:52] <CelticLord> nuit!!
[22:52] <ejer> DarkGu1: yes, install nvidia driver
[22:52] <DarkGu1> soundray: A few months old.
[22:52] <DarkGu1> soundray: Maybe a year.
[22:52] <hajar> all hard disk
[22:52] <Lighttitan> Ok so here's my problem. I am running Ubuntu Ultimate 1.9... it's a customized HH release. I normally use Gnome desktop. Got everything set up on it, gnome was working great but then I booted my computer up a day or two ago and gnome won't load fully. When I try to use gnome desktop it will load the wallpaper but nothing else. I have deleted the .gnome2 and .conf files to reset gnomes settings but this did nothing for me except
[22:52] <Lighttitan>  change the wallpaper back to default, but it still won't load the rest of gnome. I am using KDE right now :*( Anyone got any other suggestions on how to fix this?
[22:52] <DarkGu1> I'll try the nvidia driers.
[22:52] <soundray> DarkGu1: anyway, try 'xrandr' in terminal. It should tell you what modes are available and what capabilities your display has
[22:53] <Some_Person> hajar: Wait, you have an entire hard drive dedicated to almost useless swap space?
[22:53] <ejer> P3X-018: it is installed, right click the top bar, add to panel, choose dictionary lookup
[22:53] <Lartza_> Using apt-get install or update gives: E: Method gave invalid 400 URI Failure message
[22:53] <jrib> !ultimate > Lighttitan
[22:53] <hajar> yes
[22:53] <DarkGu1> soundray: It claims the maximum is 1280 by 800, but thats incorrect.
[22:53] <Some_Person> hajar: There's no need to do that. That just makes the drive unusable to you
[22:53] <soundray> DarkGu1: xrandr does?
[22:53] <DarkGu1> soundray: Yup
[22:54] <jrib> Lartza_: pastebin the entire output of 'sudo apt-get update' and the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list
[22:54] <soundray> DarkGu1: what did you expect it to be?
[22:54] <DarkGu1> soundray: 1400 by 1050
[22:54] <Terabytten> Eh, I'll just try and figure it out later then.
[22:54] <Some_Person> hajar: Your swap drive really should be just a little more than your RAM when you have more than 1GB of RAM
[22:54] <blunder> what kinda monitor is that
[22:54] <hajar> when i install it it is refuse to partition so a i make it all
[22:54] <Lighttitan> Ok well aside from the fact it's not a pure Ubuntu release, does no one have any suggestions or know what could cause Gnome not to fully load?
[22:54] <soundray> DarkGu1: sorry, don't know what to do there
[22:55] <DarkGu1> soundray: k
[22:55] <JewingGum> What UBUNTU means??!?!?!?
[22:55] <JewingGum> !ubuntu
[22:55] <ThexLeopard> it means humanness JewingGum
[22:55] <soundray> JewingGum: it's an African word that means "I can't configure Debian!"
[22:55] <JewingGum> lol
[22:55] <yoyoned> ThexLeopard: do you use terminal or just gui
[22:55] <Lighttitan> lol
[22:55] <Some_Person> JewingGum: It's an afican term meaning "humanity". http://en.wikipedia.org/ubuntu
[22:55] <JewingGum> I use CLI
[22:55] <DarkGu1> Does anyone what to do when ubuntu detects resolution incorrectly and none of the suggestions on the wiki fix it?
[22:56] <victorio> does someone knows how to configure a touch pad??
[22:56] <ThexLeopard> i used the gui yoyoned, trying to delete all the files on terminal would take me about a year
[22:56] <Lartza_> http://pastebin.com/d421b8b
[22:56] <ejer> DarkGu1: did you install the driver?
[22:56] <DarkGu1> ejer: I'm doing it now
[22:56] <LFLF73> P3X-018 you could try dict or dictd, im not sure if that's exactly what you're looking for but wouldn't hurt to install it? search the synaptic for those two programs.
[22:56] <Some_Person> DarkGu1: Did you install your driver?
[22:56] <P3X-018> ejer: Can't find it, maybe because I'm using KDE.
[22:56] <yoyoned> ThexLeopard: is if one folder or a bunch of files
[22:56] <DarkGu1> Some_Person: Doing it now
[22:56] <carrera> Greetings!
[22:56] <Lartza_> nothing special on output or sources.list
[22:56] <ejer> P3X-018: there is an app called kdict I think
[22:56] <Lighttitan> Ok well I guess I am just stuck with using KDE until they release 8.10 Intrepid... I don't feel like reloading when 8.10 is so close and I am going to get a graphics driver upgrade
[22:57] <Some_Person> DarkGu1: Then don't ask unless you have a problem with the drivers installed
[22:57] <ThexLeopard> yoyoned, its a folder with two subfolders and a bunch of files in the subfolders
[22:57] <jrib> Lartza_: please pastebin it...
[22:57] <Lartza_> http://pastebin.com/d421b8b
[22:57] <Lartza_> you missed it
[22:57] <DarkGu1> Some_Person: Ok, ok
[22:57] <JewingGum> WHEN will 8.10 interpid be released
[22:57] <jrib> !who | Lartza_
[22:57] <carrera> I changed my hostname but now I can't open new terminals. anyone know why?
[22:57] <yoyoned> ThexLeopard: and you want to remove them all?
[22:57] <DarkGu1> restarting
[22:57] <ThexLeopard> basically yes yoyoned
[22:57] <DarkGu1> see ya when it's back up
[22:57] <ejer> ThexLeopard: to delete a directory and all files: sudo rm directory -rfv
[22:57] <ThexLeopard> ok ill try it ejer
[22:58] <ejer> make sure that is what you want ThexLeopard there is no going back
[22:58] <yoyoned> ThexLeopard: you need to change the files owner
[22:58] <jrib> Lartza_: output of 'ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/'
[22:58] <yoyoned> !chown|thexleopard
[22:58] <hajar> then how can i make swap partition?
[22:58] <ThexLeopard> cheers ejer thats done the trick i think
[22:59] <iamelite> Hey Quick question: Can anyone point me in the direction of how to install a basic linux kernel to a harddrive. For purpose of getting the drive to boot solo without a live cd. I have as my only tool a ubuntu live CD PPC build.
[22:59] <ThexLeopard> ooo, and its unlocked the folder i have some use for O.o
[22:59] <Some_Person> iamelite: Is your computer a PPC?
[22:59] <iamelite> PowerPC G3 Imac
[22:59] <Lartza_> playdeb, medibuntu, winehq
[22:59] <ejer> iamelite: you would just do a normal install...
[22:59] <soundray> !bootoptions > AlexC
[22:59] <Lartza_> jrib: playdeb, medibuntu, winehq
[23:00] <Some_Person> iamelite: Just install an OS. Ubuntu 6.06 has a PPC version
[23:00] <jrib> Lartza_: you need to put my name in your response if you want to be sure I notice it.  Get rid of playdeb
[23:00] <Some_Person> iamelite: A kernel without anything with it is useless
[23:00] <iamelite> ejer, after many many atempts to install nomally and having an apt mirror issue, i have given up on a normall install.
[23:00] <iamelite> Some_Person I know enough about the command line to navigate and install packages
[23:00] <Terabytten> /msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER Terabytten ksjbldnrwqwi
[23:00] <ejer> iamelite: apt mirror should not matter, you have all the packages on that cd
[23:00] <Terabytten> Er
[23:00] <Lartza_> jrib: why? it has worked fine for now, i did google problems with it but weird
[23:01] <iamelite> ejer, tell that to the isntall disk wich fails every single time at 82%
[23:01] <DarkGu1> ejer, some_person: I installed the driver. It's worse now. The resolution is being incorrectly detected as 700x525. The Refresh Rate is being incorrectly detected as 50hz.
[23:01] <Some_Person> iamelite: A kernel on its own wouldn't even have a command line
[23:01] <Lighttitan> what's the command to check my kernel version?
[23:01] <jrib> Lighttitan: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278635
[23:01] <ejer> Lighttitan: uname -a
[23:01] <Some_Person> DarkGu1: Nvidia?
[23:01] <Lighttitan> thanks
[23:01] <jrib> Lartza_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278635
[23:01] <DarkGu1> some_person: Yup
[23:01] <jrib> Lighttitan: ignore me
[23:01] <Some_Person> DarkGu1: Open terminal, type nvidia-settings
[23:01] <blahblahx> i installed the ubuntu mobile package in hardy, hoping it would give me an ubuntu session. instead, it just installed the packages. what can i do to get an ubuntu mobile session in my xubuntu install?
[23:01] <iamelite> Some_Person Very well, i am ignorant to the words that im using. Im fairly new. What i want is a command line and no X
[23:02] <Some_Person> iamelite: Then get Ubuntu Server Edition
[23:02] <DarkGu1> some_person: Installing
[23:02] <Some_Person> iamelite: That is ubuntu without X
[23:02] <iamelite> Some_Person can i aquire and install a script for that from a Xubuntu Live PPC Graphical Desktop?
[23:02] <IdahoEv> how do I figure out which package contains the application 'gzcat'?   I've tried both package search, apt-cache search, and google with no success
[23:02] <ejer> iamelite: if your CD is corrupt this can happen
[23:02] <Some_Person> iamelite: What?
[23:03] <blocky> does anyone know what the gnome Desktop Effects tab of the Appearance applet actually modifies?
[23:03] <DarkGu1> some_person: got it
[23:03] <Some_Person> blocky: It modified Compiz
[23:03] <blocky> yea but more specifically?
[23:03] <Some_Person> blocky: It enables/disables compiz plugins
[23:03] <soundray> IdahoEv: it should be zcat and it's default
[23:03] <iamelite> Some_Person, I can only boot the computer as it is now with a Live CD. Can i Install or download from the internet onto that machine the Server Edition, without having to burn or copy a new boot medium.
[23:03] <jrib> IdahoEv: do you want 'zcat' in the gzip package?
[23:04] <IdahoEv> jrib: hmmm, i've always typed 'gzcat' rather than 'zcat'
[23:04] <DarkGu1> some_person: It list three resolutions. One is out of this monitors range, and another is correct(1400 by 1050) and the third is the current one(700x525).
[23:04] <ejer> !debootstrap | iamelite
[23:04] <Some_Person> iamelite: Not as far as I know. Is the Live CD you're using an ubuntu CD?
[23:04] <what_if> my 2 soundcards keep swapping between dsp and dsp1 during reboots. How do I fix this ?
[23:04] <IdahoEv> jrib: but i had to rebuild this server and ... no such command.  can't remember where i installed it from last time.
[23:04] <Some_Person> DarkGu1: choose the correct resolution, hit Apply
[23:04] <jrib> IdahoEv: zcat is what you want
[23:04] <DarkGu1> some_person: ok
[23:04] <soundray> IdahoEv: you can always alias gzcat=zcat  so you don't have to change your habit
[23:04] <Some_Person> DarkGu1: If it works, then hit Save to config (or something like that)
[23:04] <hajar> how can i make swap partition ?
[23:05] <IdahoEv> soundray: okay, muchas gracias guys.
[23:05] <iamelite> Some_Person, Yes it is the Xubuntu Desktop PowerPC build Live
[23:05] <blocky> Some_Person, i need to know how to tweak those plugins individually
[23:05] <blocky> cause one of them has messed up my window titles
[23:05] <blahblahx> i installed the ubuntu mobile package in hardy, hoping it would give me an ubuntu session. instead, it just installed the packages. what can i do to get an ubuntu mobile session in my xubuntu install?
[23:05] <ejer> what_if: http://wiki.soslug.org/wiki/what_to_do_if_you_have_multiple_sound_cards_and_the_wrong_one_is_selected_ubuntu_debian_distros
[23:05] <Some_Person> blocky: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[23:05] <DarkGu1> some_person: Now there are black bars on either side. The screen is widescreen, if that helps
[23:05] <mad_max02> hiya guys
[23:05] <ThexLeopard> hajar: theres a partition manager you can download from the repository, gnome partition manager its called if memory serves, try that
[23:05] <mad_max02> I just had some really troublesome time to install hardy on my P5Q Pro mobo
[23:05] <ejer> hajar: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq
[23:06] <blocky> Some_Person, it crashes
[23:06] <Some_Person> iamelite: Then install Xubuntu and remove X later
[23:06] <clahey> Hey there.  How do I get dbg packages for all of the packages that ubuntu releases?
[23:06] <soundray> DarkGu1: 1440x1050 isn't widescreen, though...
[23:06] <mad_max02> can anyone tell me how can I turn on autocomplete for commands in terminal
[23:06] <Some_Person> blocky: That is the only way to configure compiz
[23:06] <Some_Person> DarkGu1: That isn't a widescreen resolution
[23:06] <blocky> k
[23:06] <blocky> well #compiz is reccomending i bust out gdb
[23:06] <ejer> iamelite: if the cd will not install and you don't want to download another, debootstrap will do it, I posted link further up
[23:06] <DarkGu1> some_person: My monitors box claims it is 1400 by 1050 wide
[23:07] <iamelite> Some_Person, At 82% installation completion, upon it attempting to configure apt, i get an unrecoverable error of "invalid Mirror"
[23:07] <mongolai> mad_max02, tab key completion?
[23:07] <Some_Person> DarkGu1: And I say that's impossible
[23:07] <iamelite> Some_Person, one that i cannot bypass in that graphical installer
[23:07] <Lartza_> can i check package version on repositories with command line?
[23:07] <Some_Person> iamelite: Because old dapper mirrors have moved
[23:07] <ssc|> where can i find more information about how hal/dbus/gnome-mount/policykit/udev policies work together - we currently have problems with hotplug devices and ldap users
[23:07] <mad_max02> mongolai, yup. that one
[23:07] <mad_max02> mongolai, I remember I had to uncomment one line in one file
[23:07] <mongolai> mad_max02, it's not working?
[23:07] <Some_Person> iamelite: Get the Alternate CD. It has a textmode installer
[23:07] <DarkGu1> some_person: Well....
[23:07] <mad_max02> nope
[23:07] <ryu> hallo
[23:07] <mad_max02> ....
[23:08] <ejer> Some_Person: ? I have a 1440x1050 screen
[23:08] <Lartza_> can i check package version on repositories with command line?
[23:08] <Some_Person> Oh sorry DarkGu1
[23:08] <DarkGu1> some_person: What?
[23:08] <Some_Person> I thought you said 1080
[23:09] <DarkGu1> some_person: Ah, ok
[23:09] <soundray> DarkGu1: it's roughly a 4x3, not widescreen
[23:09] <iamelite> Some_Person If i were to mount a partition for download, on the harddrive, on the machine running the standard Desktop CD. Is it possible to aquire the files from the Alternate CD and execute its installation into the terminal?
[23:09] <DarkGu1> soundray: ok, but it still isn't working right.
[23:09] <ejer> Lartza_: dpkg -s packagename
[23:09] <Some_Person> iamelive: No. You would boot to the alternate CD
[23:09] <hajar> ThexLeopard  ,ejer thanx alot
[23:10] <DarkGu1> I have black bars on either side of the screen and the text is hard to read
[23:10] <iamelite> Some_Person, well... fishsticks. Im out of CDs to burn
[23:10] <soundray> DarkGu1: can you boot with vga=866 as a boot option?
[23:10] <Some_Person> iamelive: The alternate CD has more options and should let you bypass that
[23:11] <lakitu> anyone know how to change the defaul restore size of the gnome-terminal? mine is stuck on huge
[23:11] <DarkGu1> soundray: Unfortunately, I don't know what that means.
[23:11] <Some_Person> iamelite: Then buy some CDs. They are cheap these days
[23:11] <ejer> iamelite: 3rd time, yes you can. debootstrap
[23:11] <lakitu> default*
[23:11] <DarkGu1> some_person: any ideas?
[23:11] <AlexC> soundray are you still here
[23:11] <soundray> DarkGu1: there is an explanation here: ubuntu.com/community/BootOption (scroll down to Change Boot Options Temporarily On An Existing Ubuntu System
[23:11] <soundray> )
[23:11] <Some_Person> DarkGu1: I'm not sure. I've never used a WS display with an nvidia card
[23:11] <iamelite> ejer, Yes thank you. I was exploring all options in a vain attempt to learn
[23:11] <DarkGu1> some_person: ok
[23:11] <soundray> AlexC: DarkGu1 has a similar problem to yours...
[23:12] <AlexC> Ah
[23:12] <DarkGu1> soundray: Yay! company!
[23:12] <badfish> what's a clean virtual drive?
[23:12] <iamelite> ejer, I will look this up and try it out. if your around ill let you know how it went :)
[23:12] <AlexC> So shall we meet in the classroom?
[23:12] <ejer> !debootstrap > iamelite
[23:12] <DarkGu1> the classroom?
[23:12] <soundray> AlexC: yes, let's. DarkGu1: #ubuntu-classroom
[23:12] <cholera> how can i run multiple monitors in Gnome ?
[23:12] <Some_Person> ejer: Note that iamelite is using PPC
[23:12] <DarkGu1> soundray: o
[23:12] <DarkGu1> soudnray: ok
[23:13] <ejer> Some_Person: yep
[23:13] <hajar> i don't find any swap partition , am i need it?
[23:13] <Some_Person> hajar: If ubuntu is running at all you have a swap partition
[23:13] <mongolai> hajar, how much ram do you have?
[23:14] <Some_Person> hajar: Open up the Partition Editor (sudo apt-get gparted) and then you'll see it
[23:14] <hajar> but i write fdisk and nothing output
[23:14] <Some_Person> hajar: Sorry that should be sudo apt-get install gparted
[23:14] <hajar> mongolai ..2 g
[23:14] <NanoRobot> Hello, everyone ! Please, somebody help, ubuntu loads in balck screen (video VIA VX700).
[23:15] <ejer> hajar: use "swapon -s" to show swap
[23:16] <mongolai> hajar, you probably don't need any swap.
[23:16] <Some_Person> hajar: You don't need swap to run ubuntu, but you do to hibernate
[23:17] <Some_Person> I feel like I forgot my mind somewhere back in the '90s
[23:17] <hajar> this is the result    /dev/sda5                               partition	6072528	0	-1
[23:18] <Some_Person> hajar: You have a swap
[23:19] <Some_Person> hajar: It is way more than you actually need if you have 2GB of RAM
[23:19] <hajar> but hibernate is not work?
[23:19] <ejer> you do not have enough RAM to suspend hajar
[23:19] <ejer> err wait
[23:20] <Some_Person> hajar: That should be enough swap to hibernate
[23:20] <hajar> how?
[23:20] <ejer> that number is in megabytes, so you have 6GB swap, which should be more than enough
[23:20] <Some_Person> hajar: 6GB of swap is way more than you need.
[23:20] <unitypunk> can anyone help my wubi install
[23:20] <hajar> then when i decrease it , it will work?
[23:21] <hajar> less than2?
[23:21] <Some_Person> hajar: No
[23:21] <iamelite> ejer, Its a pity no ones come up with a way to create a virtualized harddrive server. So i could open say... Virtualbox, fake a PPC arch and install to the drive remotely from this machine.
[23:21] <Some_Person> hajar: Decreasing the swap will not fix it
[23:21] <hajar> then how?
[23:21] <Some_Person> hajar: Besides, your swap needs to be more than your RAM, not less
[23:21] <Some_Person> hajar: Your problem is not swap-related
[23:21] <mongolai> Alright, I just came back to ubuntu recently, so please tell me, is there an easy way to have a different wallpaper for each workspace yet?
[23:22] <ejer> iamelite: you can, but why would you go through vbox?
[23:22] <iamelite> ejer, I Use only the knowledge i have for sake of example
[23:22] <mad_max02> mongolai, I fond the thing myself. You have to edit /etc/bash.bashrc. It works like a charm now.
[23:23] <hajar> also suspend does not work
[23:23] <mad_max02> mongolai, do you have any suggestion how can I install mplayer sucesfully ?
[23:23] <dukex> Hello community, I need an info I cant install my graphic card drivers =x
[23:23] <dukex> its my first day on ubuntu desktop

[23:28] <wombatina> I would like to reinstall it.
[23:29] <unitypunk> wombatina,  just reinstall from disk
[23:29] <unitypunk> to the same partitian
[23:29] <wombatina> Nothing pops up when I put the disk back in.
[23:30] <serenity> wombatina: first of all...do a backup
[23:30] <wombatina> Everything has been backed up.
[23:30] <wombatina> Completely.
[23:30] <thiebaude> wombatina:boot from cd
[23:30] <unitypunk> boot from disk
[23:30] <wombatina> But I put int he disk, and I can see what's in it, but nothing pops up to "install Ubuntu" or "Reinstall Ubuntu".  Is there a specific folder on the disc I should looka t?
[23:31] <wombatina> oh shit.
[23:31] <wombatina> thanks.

[23:37] <Mac40DO> Hi! I have a problem: after removing openoffice.org-2.4.1, installing openoffice-3.0. removing it again an reinstalling openoffice 2.4.1, the icons in the toolbars of openoffce are gone. Instead just text. Is something missing?
[23:37] <carrera> how do u change hostname?
[23:37] <danbh_intrepid> !hostname | carrera
[23:38] <danbh_intrepid> Mac40DO: you could try this: try this command to reinstall the defaults for your system!  sudo apt-get install (k|x)ubuntu-desktop^             and dont forget the ^
[23:39] <carrera> thanks danbh_intrepid. I had used hostname <NewName> but it caused some problems and when I rebooted, the old name was displayed.
[23:39]  * MANIAKA7000 is away: sleeping!
[23:40] <bimberi> carrera: read ubottu's factoid again
[23:40] <Mac40DO> danbh_intrepid: ok thx
[23:41] <danbh_intrepid> yw
[23:41] <DarkGu1> soundray: I fixed....by setting it to a higher resolution than it supprots
[23:41] <DarkGu1> Has anyone here heard of a monitor falsely claiming to be at a lower resolution than it supprots
[23:41] <carrera> bimberi, I did, that's why I thanked him!
[23:42] <mecha> DarkGul: nvdia gphx card?
[23:42] <carrera> bimberi, please read my "I had" again! ;)
[23:42] <DarkGu1> mecha: yup
[23:42] <teratoma> I got multiple monitors working in gnome by downloading 'urandr'
[23:42] <mecha> anyone know why firefox is so unstable?
[23:42] <bimberi> carrera: ah, sorry.  Your "I had" can be read ambiguously :)
[23:42] <mecha> DarkGul: have you installed nvidia-glx-new?
[23:42] <blankthemuffin> Probably plugins mecha.
[23:43] <DarkGu1> mecha: Hang on
[23:43] <mecha> blankthemuffin: yeah but why?
[23:43] <carrera> bimberi, thanks dude. I only realized that after I read your comment!
[23:43] <carrera> :)
[23:43] <DarkGu1> mecha: How do I tell which one I have
[23:43] <DarkGu1> ?
[23:44] <carrera> bimberi, I've been working offshore over three years now
[23:44] <mecha> DarkGul: System>Administration>Hardware Drivers
[23:44] <thiebaude> :)
[23:44] <blankthemuffin> mecha, well it's perfectly stable here, I'd be removing all your plugins and seeing if that fixes it. Then adding the ones you really want back one by one, making sure you don't create the problem again.
[23:44] <DarkGu1> I have the drivers, it doesn't say if it's nvidia-glx-new
[23:44] <DarkGu1> But i suspect it is.
[23:45] <DarkGu1> mecha: Do you have an answer>
[23:46] <mecha> DarkGul: in console type "nvidia-settings"
[23:46] <DarkGu1> mecha: got it
[23:46] <LimCore> How to put foo.dyndns.org to hosts.allow ? anyone knows how to tell hosts allow to lookup hostnames in the file in case they are dynamic and not matching revdns from isp?
[23:46] <carrera> oh, man. I just used the Network GUI tool to change my hostname and, again, I cannot open a terminal
[23:46] <DarkGu1> It's weird. I thinks the monitor is bigger than it is, and it only works close to right when it;s set at a higher resolution than it is.
[23:46] <soundray> DarkGu1: wow, well done
[23:46] <mecha> DarkGul: now change the resolution settings and save to your xorg.confg
[23:47] <DarkGu1> mecha: Er, why. If I set it to the correct resolution, it has black bars on either side.
[23:47] <DarkGu1> Soundray: it's bizarre
[23:47] <soundray> DarkGu1: indeed
[23:47] <soundray> DarkGu1: too bad AlexC has just left
[23:47] <carrera> btw, there's a mistake in the ubottu factoid. It's System > Administration > _Network_ not _Networking_
[23:47] <mecha> DarkGul: if it says you cant overwrite the old file close the nvidia settins and type "sudo nvidia-setting" in the console then ur password
[23:48] <DarkGu1> mecha: I know all that
[23:48] <DarkGu1> mecha: But it doesn't work right when it's at the correct resolution
[23:48] <mecha> DarkGul: what does that mean? how?
[23:48] <DarkGu1> mecha: The monitor is
[23:49] <DarkGu1> 1400x1050, but when it's set to 1400xby1050 everythings too small and there are black bars on either side.\

[23:49] <aaron_> what would people suggest for a small business software with ubuntu?
[23:49] <thiebaude> i wonder if alexc fixed his problem
[23:49] <thiebaude> i was helping him earlier
[23:49] <DarkGu1> When it's set ito 1680x1050 it seems to be more or less right
[23:49] <techobot> Hello!
[23:49] <mecha> aaron_: open office
[23:49] <DarkGu1> any idea why?
[23:50] <mecha> DarkGul: hae u tried to calibrate your monitor manually?
[23:50] <aaron_> sorry for accounting purposes...anything equivalent to Simply Accounting
[23:50] <carrera> how can I raise my ScreenRes to higher than 1440x900. I've a 19" wide
[23:50] <DarkGu1> mecha: you mean editing the fail manually
[23:50] <DarkGu1> ?
[23:50] <DarkGu1> Er, file, not fail
[23:50] <shamshel> are any of you using the two-finger-scroll gesture on a synaptics touchpad?
[23:50] <mecha> aaron_: look it up in synaptic
[23:50] <DarkGu1> Freudian slip
[23:50] <aaron_> k thanks
[23:51] <mecha> DarkGul:are there buttonson your monitor
[23:51] <Aggrav8d> hi!  i have separate log files for each virtual host i run.  what is the command I'd use to truncate the log files so that they are kept to a reasonable size?
[23:51] <DarkGu1> mecha: Er, yes
[23:52] <Slart> Aggrav8d: take a look at logrotate
[23:52] <Aggrav8d> i'm looking for a bash style command that i can then crontab.
[23:52] <Aggrav8d> aah.
[23:52] <Aggrav8d> thanks, slart1
[23:52] <mecha> DarkGul: use them to calibrate the visibility and then retry the software
[23:52] <Slart> Aggrav8d: I think it does all kinds of neat stuff.. compressing old logs and such
[23:52] <DarkGu1> mecha: I can see fine. It works fine
[23:52] <DarkGu1> When it's set at the wrong res
[23:52] <carrera> I've enabled the restricted driver for my GeForce but the highest value that the Screen Resolution app shows is 1440x900. How can I use a higher res please?
[23:53] <DarkGu1> carrera: Do you have a widescreen monitor?
[23:53] <mecha> DarkGul: then leave it on the wrong res
[23:53] <mad_max02> carrera, use Envy to install nvidia or ati drivers
[23:53] <tyberion> hey, hmm, how can I from an ctrl-alt-f1 term completely restart x?
[23:53] <carrera> DarkGu1, yessir. It's a Samsung SyncMaster BW1932 - 19"
[23:53] <DarkGu1> tyberion: ctrl-alt-backspace.
[23:53] <Slart> tyberion: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[23:53] <soundray> tyberion: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart
[23:53] <tyberion> lol, so many answers
[23:53] <tyberion> nice
[23:53] <tyberion> thanx...
[23:53] <DarkGu1> Carrera: Interesting.  Do you have the nvidia drivers installed?
[23:53] <mad_max02> carrera, are you sure that ur 19" has a higher resolution than that ?
[23:53] <mecha> carrera: in console type "sudo nvidia-settings"
[23:54] <Slart> tyberion: soundrays and mine are basically the same..
[23:54] <tyberion> well c-a-backspace doesnt work since it automatikally brings back
[23:54] <carrera> DarkGu1, I enabled them right after install
[23:54] <kwyjibo> is there a way to reset the gnome movie player and all codecs back to ubuntu factory defaults? i broke something somehow. video is jerky and pixelated :<
[23:54] <soundray> tyberion: DarkGu1's you can forget :)
[23:54] <DarkGu1> carrera: Type sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings in a terminal.
[23:54] <carrera> mad_max02, yessir. I was using it with a WinXP pc with a much lesser ATI card
[23:55] <DarkGu1> carrera: I just solved a similar problem.
[23:55] <DarkGu1> carrera: Type it.
[23:55] <carrera> DarkGu1, I will
[23:55] <DarkGu1> carrera: Do it.
[23:55] <soundray> Slart: I win on keystrokes
[23:55] <Slart> soundray: hehe
[23:55] <soundray> :)
[23:55] <carrera> btw, Screen Resolution doesn't even detect my dispaly and it does nothing when I click on Detect Displays
[23:56] <DarkGu1> carrera: I know.
[23:56] <DarkGu1> carrera: Almost the same problem as mine
[23:56] <steven_>  Hello
[23:56] <DarkGu1> carrera: did you type it?
[23:56] <soundray> !hi | steven_
[23:57] <steven_> I'm having trouble over here. I am usually able to access my NTFS drive from Ubuntu. But it is now telling me that I'm not privileged to mount the drive. Can someone help me out.
[23:57] <DarkGu1> carrera: sudo apt-get install nvidia-setttings
[23:57] <carrera> It's running now
[23:57] <DarkGu1> steven_: Did you last shut down windows without a full shutdown by pressing it on the desktop?
[23:57] <DarkGu1> carrera: good
[23:57] <Dreamglider> steven_, try sudo mount -all
[23:57] <carrera> pls bear in mind that I'm only on a 128 kb/s ADSL line
[23:57] <DarkGu1> carrera: k
[23:58] <carrera> done
[23:58] <mecha> steven_: typing "sudo" before any command should give you priveleges
[23:58] <carrera> lemme check again
[23:58] <DarkGu1> carrera: Ok, type sudo nvidia-settings
[23:58] <DarkGu1> carrera: Did a window come up?
[23:58] <carrera> hold on
[23:58] <DarkGu1> carrera: ok
[23:59] <steven_> Dreamglider: Can I have the paste website? I get an error I would like to show you.
[23:59] <carrera> i'm running xchat on my laptop but it's my server that I'm setting up
[23:59] <steven_> !paste
[23:59] <juak> i need to run jobs in the background, like with cron, but every 20 seconds, anyone knows how?
[23:59] <soundray> juak: while true ; do script ; sleep 20 ; done
[23:59] <DarkGu1> carrera: ok. Did a window come up
[23:59] <carrera> yes, NVidia  X Server Settings came up
