[20:30] <hunteke> tanner: what is the problem you are trying to solve?
[20:30] <MasterShrek> cube, youd have to set up a bridge i believe, no idea how to do it though
[20:30] <gatestone> Princesomething, are you here?
[20:30] <Arelis> ph0rensic: yes it does.
[20:30] <Cpudan80> Sorry if someone answered me, It's scrolled way off the screen by now
[20:30] <cube> casey: i did try i need to set it up!
[20:30] <nickrud> ProN00b: sorry about that
[20:30] <Bupsss> hi all
[20:30] <cube> i will look into the bridge
[20:30] <cube> thankyou shrek

[20:30] <_Casey_> id look on google for you but im setting up vbox as we speak
[20:30] <ph0rensic> Arelis, I would use that option it has worked for me in the past..
[20:31] <Bupsss> can anybody explain how to install a gtk theme? please
[20:31] <norml_advocat1> what is the big deal about kde?  I dont get what it is.
[20:31] <cube> looks like bridging is when you connect 2 internets to 1 machine
[20:31] <Cpudan80> Its another desktop manager norml_advocat1
[20:31] <Cpudan80> Like GNOME
[20:31] <soulburner> cube, isnt that multihoming?
[20:31] <s> norml_advocat1: it's just a window manager alternative
[20:31] <ph0rensic> Arelis, gparted is sort of weird for me, but it works great during installation... another way to resize the disk is through windows software
[20:31] <gatestone> In case someone saw my question about slow boot, yes it was about bad splashscreen, and "nosplash" in menu.lst did it.
[20:31] <cube> i don't know what multihoming is
[20:32] <norml_advocat1> whats wrong with gnome, i like it better
[20:32] <leeping2008> It looks like the option for VPN still doesn't appear after logging out and back in
[20:32] <MasterShrek> !best | norml_advocat1
[20:32] <ubotu> norml_advocat1: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there.
[20:32] <leeping2008> Should I restart the computer?  It's preferable that I don't, because the computer is a server...
[20:32] <cube> but it looks to be that bridging is putting 2 connections together for more bandwidth
[20:32] <mnabil> root-----, !!! what is this ?!
[20:32] <Jobias> norml_advocat1: nothing's wrong with gnome. kde is just another choice
[20:32] <aoupi> norml_advocat1: different people have different preferences, as easy as that :)

[20:33] <ph0rensic> norml_advocat1, I like gnome because it doesn't install as much stuff everywhere and I like the way it looks better too .. some like the look of KDE, i guess it is more windows like??
[20:33] <niknik> I think I solved my problem.  Thank you everyone who tried to help.
[20:33] <ph0rensic> Arelis your gone huh
[20:33] <norml_advocat1> ph0rensic i dont like windows, i like gnome myself
[20:33] <ph0rensic> norml_advocat1, ah k
[20:34] <norml_advocat1> and kde made my system messup
[20:34] <tanner> norml_advocat1: how so?

[20:36] <paolob> Jobias, the monitor actually uses 1440x900, but using only the right part of the screen. I mean it leaves a 200 px black area in the left part of the screen
[20:37] <Arelis> Hi all. I tried resizing my Windows partition using the Ubuntu installer but it says "An error occured." and it doesn't give information on the actual error.
[20:37] <Arelis> and it says it's been aborted
[20:37] <Jobias> paolob: so the aspect ratio isn't set properly?
[20:37] <ejer> root-----: i don't know what fgi is either :)
[20:37] <paolob> Jobias, exactly, the screen is comprimed
[20:37] <root-----> ejer fuckig google it
[20:38] <gaten> XiXaQ: but this is a local issue. im running it through gksudo, so there should not be any permission issues
[20:38] <Jouva> root-----: I see what you did there.
[20:38] <ChosenOne> lo
[20:38] <ejer> good luck with your problem root----- :)
[20:39] <Jobias> paolob: and going into preferences->screen resolution or admimistration->screens and graphics doesn't help?
[20:39] <^CatMan^> ejer: any idea how to get me back into x?
[20:39] <Arelis> Did anyone read my question?
[20:39] <ejer> ^CatMan^: startx ?
[20:39] <aoupi> ^CatMan^: have you tried sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[20:40] <^CatMan^> tried that kicked out an error
[20:40] <ejer> Arelis: i did... looks like this is not gonna work
[20:40] <paolob> Jobias, in preferences-> screen resolution it shows other resolutions with the same 60 Hz frequency, but obviously they aren't worth a try because they are not 16:9 resolutions
[20:40] <Arelis> ejer: Alright. what might be the cause, then? :)
[20:40] <foso> is there a way to set the display to dim after i havent used it for a while like on a mac?
[20:40] <cicero_b> anyone know howto go to a specific line numbered x in emacs
[20:40] <ejer> Arelis: lots of things, you should not try to resize win partitions in my opinion
[20:40] <ejer> foso: power settings in prefs
[20:41] <_Casey_> o.o i have a problem. http://pastebin.com/m4504014b
[20:41] <Jouva> Arelis: Did you defrag the partition atleast?
[20:41] <SpacePilot> So, anyone know why this happends?  http://i32.tinypic.com/2pob42s.png
[20:41] <ejer> _Casey_: since I am sure you read the readme, maybe try sudo gpasswd - a youruser vboxusers
[20:41] <erUSUL> cicero_b: emacs +linenumber file.txt it works on mosst text editors not only emacs
[20:41] <Jouva> Arelis: I'm grabbing straws mind you :)
[20:41] <MrRoland> damn if ubuntu had a better name...
[20:41] <ejer> erUSUL: looks like a bug to me
[20:42] <erUSUL> ejer: ??
[20:42] <Jobias> paolob: hmmm, i had a similar problem, but i have an nvidia card and bypassed the ubuntu control panel and used the nvidia control panel directly to force it to work with my dual monitors (which were displaying at an improper resolution like yours). but since you're running ATI, i'm not sure how to help you. i suspect you'd have to go in and fiddle with the xorg config files manually
[20:42] <Cpudan80> _Casey_: are you actually in the virtual users group?
[20:42] <cicero_b> erUSUL: i was hoping to do it in the editor
[20:42] <Arelis> Jouva: Yes, i did defrag it before. :)
[20:42] <Slart> SpacePilot: soo.. firefox is acting as usual.. I'm a bit surprised about pidgin though =)
[20:42] <ejer> erUSUL: ? a bug, like there is a problem in the software?
[20:42] <Arelis> ejer: Yes but i want to dual-boot.
[20:42] <erUSUL> cicero_b: ooops
[20:42] <_Casey_> i have no idea
[20:42] <ejer> Arelis: you install windows first, on one partition, then ubuntu on another
[20:42] <cicero_b> oh M-X goto-line works
[20:43] <SpacePilot> Slart: Hell, I guess doing bling-bling on xterm was to much after all. :)
[20:43] <ejer> Arelis: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition
[20:43] <Arelis> ejer: That is not an option. I don't have the disk used to install this Windows
[20:43] <erUSUL> cicero_b: M-x goto-line
[20:43] <Arelis> ejer: it came pre-installed with this computer
[20:43] <nickrud> _Casey_: sudo adduser <username> vboxusers , log out and back in. Should fix it
[20:43] <ejer> look at that guide
[20:43] <Slart> SpacePilot: hehe.. are you on 64 or 32 bit? does it do this all the time?
[20:43] <ejer> Arelis: this is dangerous tho, you could wipe windows
[20:43] <SpacePilot> 32 bit, and I restarted the computer, same thing.
[20:44] <cicero_b> o.k. here is a better one: how do i dos2unix in ubuntu?
[20:44] <snirp> Hey there, no experience in Linux but planning to enrich my life with Ubuntu on my next system... some questions....
[20:44] <cicero_b> (or remove the ^M characters in emacs)
[20:44] <luisa> Hi... could anyone tell me where styles are saved? (I'm trying to edit the Main menu icon on the Ubuntu Studio distro)
[20:44] <snirp> ... will linux support latest chipsets (AMD 780G)
[20:44] <Jouva> nickrud: adduser or addgroup ?
[20:44] <Arelis> ejer: any other way to dual-boot with Ubuntu? (I plan to use it as my main system except for gaming (but i will play open-source games on it)
[20:45] <ejer> Arelis: that guide is the way - you have to have 2 partitions
[20:45] <nickrud> Jouva: adduser:  if you append a group name, the user will get added to the group
[20:45] <snirp> and the built-in graphics card?
[20:45] <Arelis> ejer: yes but to do that i'd have to resize windows
[20:45] <Jouva> nickrud: Ok just that I thought he was looking to get his existing user in the group
[20:45] <ejer> Arelis: yes
[20:45] <VSpike> can anyone access ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub ?
[20:45] <nickrud> Jouva: yup he was
[20:45] <norml_advocate> How do I get my aptoncd to stop recognizing the packages i do not have installed?
[20:45] <Arelis> ejer: But i tried that already and got the error - both on gparted and the installer.
[20:45] <Jouva> You can "adduser" with an existing name?
[20:45] <foso> (using 7.10 and a compaq laptop, ati radeon)
[20:46] <Jobias> snirp: sure will, as far as i know
[20:46] <nickrud> cicero_b: install tofrodos package
[20:46] <_Casey_> brb
[20:46] <prince_jammys> VSpike: yes
[20:46] <nickrud> Jouva: yes
[20:46] <Jouva> Seems backwards but ok :)

[20:46] <ejer> Arelis: looks like you are stuck then, probably other partitions on system... you can always run from livecd, but without really changing your drive, what can ya do?
[20:46] <VSpike> ejer: mencoder won't seem to do it without a video stream, so I'm tring Perl Audio Converter :)
[20:46] <ejer> Arelis: get a windows install cd then mess around
[20:46] <nickrud> Jouva: a nice util debian provides.
[20:46] <norml_advocate> How do I get my aptoncd to stop recognizing the packages i do not have installed?  or how do I get rid of packages i do not have installed?
[20:47] <Jobias> snirp: you /might/ have a bit of fiddling to do to get the onboard graphics to work, but i don't think it would be unbearable

[20:47] <bartmon> aoupi: sorry, forgot to paste hat
[20:47] <danand_> _Casey_ - if your setting up virtualbox make sure the kernel has the vboxdrv module loaded ie sudo modprobe vboxdrv
[20:47] <ynef> bartmon: forgot your username at the end, perhaps?
[20:48] <bartmon> i do have a user at the end
[20:48] <_Casey_> ok hold on
[20:48] <bartmon> it's "usermod -m -G adm,disk,cdrom,audio,video,dhcp,fuse,mysql,postgres,clamav bartman"
[20:48] <aoupi> bartmon: are you sure -m exists?
[20:48] <snirp> Jobias: I am not easily scared ;) but i think the chipset will be quite big pretty soon so people will soon figure it out if i won't be able myself
[20:48] <norml_advocate> How do I get my aptoncd to stop recognizing the packages i do not have installed?  or how do I get rid of packages i do not have installed?
[20:48] <bartmon> aoupi: yep, that's prolly it
[20:48] <_Casey_> alright lets try now
[20:48] <bartmon> thanks!
[20:48] <Flannel> bartmon: why don't you use -G [couple of groups] -a?
[20:49] <m3gach33zy> hey guys i just built a new computer and should i first install ubuntu? or should i do xp then ubuntu?
[20:49] <VSpike> ejer: Option ovc: Unknown suboption dummy
[20:49] <ynef> m3gach33zy: xp, then ubuntu
[20:49] <bartmon> Flannel: what does -a do? add instead of overwrite?
[20:49] <Flannel> bartmon: yes
[20:49] <aoupi> m3gach33zy: only ubuntu :)
[20:49] <ynef> m3gach33zy: well, technically, my answer would be "only ubuntu", but you wanted xp as well ;-)
[20:49] <aoupi> bartmon: yes, it appends the groups given in -G
[20:49] <norml_advocate> How do I get my aptoncd to stop recognizing the packages i do not have installed?  or how do I get rid of packages i do not have installed?
[20:49] <m3gach33zy> aoupi: well i would only do ubuntu but i'm afraid it wont work copmletly
[20:50] <ejer> VSpike: i don't have any wma files to try, is your public somewhere
[20:50] <ynef> bartmon: dude, check the man page -- it is actually readable (unlike some others) ;-)
[20:50] <ejer> norml_advocate: repeating that often the exact smae thing does not help
[20:50] <bartmon> Flannel: Well i didn't realise it would overwrite my goups in the first place. So now i'm trying to get a functional user account working agsin.
[20:50] <norml_advocate> ejer any other suggestions?
[20:50] <Flare183> norml_advocate: to clean your cache, you have to open up a terminal and then type in sudo apt-get clean
[20:50] <VSpike> ejer: yeah its at http://www.carlyleclarke.plus.com/01%20Feeling%20Oblivion.wma
[20:50] <ph0rensic> Back.. sorry was afk
[20:50] <_Casey_> yeah virtualbox is just giving me a black screen when im running it
[20:50] <VSpike> ejer: thanks
[20:50] <ynef> m3gach33zy: well, you should go windows first, ubuntu second -- windows will simply replace your boot loader on install, so you have to jump through hoops if you install ubuntu and then xp
[20:50] <norml_advocate> flare183 you da man
[20:51] <ejer> gimme 2-3 VSpike
[20:51] <norml_advocate> flare183 or the woman
[20:51] <Flare183> man
[20:51] <bartmon> ynef: that's where i got -G from but i didn't realise groups would be set to exactly that which you give
[20:51] <m3gach33zy> ynef: thanks
[20:51] <Flare183> norml_advocate: i'm a man
[20:51] <norml_advocate> flare183 then you da man
[20:51] <ynef> bartmon: ah, well, yeah -- that's why -a appends the groups to your already existing group memberships... quite handy, that :-)
[20:51] <ynef> m3gach33zy: no problem :-)
[20:52] <norml_advocate> flare183 now aptoncd isnt finding any packages
[20:52] <Flare183> ok then...
[20:52] <VSpike> very annoying.  can't install pacpl because I can't reach ftp.perl.org
[20:52] <aoupi> norml_advocate: apt-get check
[20:52] <Flare183> norml_advocate: well you aren't supposed to use aptoncd
[20:52] <Flare183> norml_advocate: really you are supposed to use apt-get
[20:52] <aoupi> norml_advocate: perhaps that finds out what's wrong (probably not)
[20:53] <m3gach33zy> does anyone think that it will be a problem to install xp vista and ubuntu?
[20:53] <MrKeuner> hi, can I connect to user x on server suing vncviewer when user x, y, z are in session?
[20:53] <ph0rensic> m3gab0y, No, Ive seen a triple boot xp, vista, and ubuntu
[20:53] <ynef> m3gach33zy: what, all three? if so, go xp -> vista -> ubuntu
[20:53] <Flare183> m3gach33zy: depends on which you install first
[20:53] <Semloh> Hey im new to linux and im having trouble running programs with python can anyone help?
[20:53] <ejer> VSpike: mplayer -ao pcm:file=test.wav 01\ Feeling\ Oblivion.wma
[20:53] <ejer> VSpike: works fine
[20:53] <HetaUma> hmm any ideas where do I set users that are able to shut down the computer?
[20:54] <aoupi> !ask | Semloh
[20:54] <ubotu> Semloh: 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. :-)
[20:54] <norml_advocate> sudo apt-get check didnt work!
[20:54] <MrKeuner> vncviewer takes me to the user who has opened the first session
[20:54] <m3gach33zy> well i have a big hdd so i thought why not have all 3 just for the heck of it
[20:54] <ynef> m3gach33zy: vista will most likely recognise your xp install, and add it to some boot menu, and then ubuntu can understand and use them both
[20:54] <norml_advocate> nothin in aptoncd!
[20:54]  * Flare183 says i haven't really worked with aptoncd
[20:54] <gatestone> prince_jammys, thx for the tip, I used nosplash to fix my slow boot...
[20:55] <nickrud> HetaUma: I believe they need to bin in the powerdev group,  sudo adduser <usrname> powerdev . (that user will have to log out and back in for it to take effect)
[20:55] <prince_jammys> gatestone: good
[20:55] <m3gach33zy> ynef:  i see thanks
[20:55] <gary_> Does anyone know where kexi looks for templates?
[20:56] <Flare183> gary_: yeah on kde-files.org
[20:56] <Ximal> would anyone mind telling me how or what theurl for the ps3 ubuntu installation is ?
[20:56] <ynef> m3gach33zy: ubuntu plays well with others, windows... not so much. so install the smartest os last ;-)
[20:56] <hunterp> what is the default login? i installed an ubuntu vmware image and i can't login
[20:56] <MrJoey> Quick question:  If you use the first guided option in the Ubuntu installer, will it automatically install alongside Windows?
[20:56] <Flare183> hunterp: nothing
[20:56] <norml_advocat1> why did I just get booted?
[20:56] <ejer> hunterp: it will say on page you got it from
[20:57] <m3gach33zy> ynef: hahahah xD
[20:57] <Flare183> norml_advocat1: i don't know
[20:57] <norml_advocat1> hhhhmmmm
[20:57] <soulburner> can i reformat 2 drives when installing ubuntu?
[20:57] <nickrud> Ximal: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/7.10/release/
[20:57] <norml_advocat1> how do i get aptoncd to recognize installed packages?
[20:57] <ynef> soulburner: sure
[20:57] <gatestone> prince_jammys, I used nosplash because there seems to be no VESA vga code inb the kernerl for 1280x800 that I am using (Thinkpad)
[20:57] <m3gach33zy> ynef: how does ubuntu play well with xp and vista?  I don't understand how they can all work together
[20:57] <gary_> Flare183: I mean where it looks for templates locally.
[20:57] <soulburner> ynef, where is the option, or what do i need to look for?
[20:57] <prince_jammys> gatestone: i see, i'll remember that
[20:58] <soulburner> im on ubuntu now, but im wanting to format my windows side and reinstall everything
[20:58] <Flare183> gary_: i think in it's  /usr/share/kexi folder but I'm not sure
[20:58] <soulburner> going to switch to ubuntu
[20:58] <ynef> soulburner: well, when the partitioner comes up, just choose your other harddrive and go to town with the formatting
[20:58] <norml_advocat1> how do i get aptoncd to recognize installed packages?
[20:58] <aman> can anyone tell is there anyway to trace a person through his email id????
[20:58] <ejer> m3gach33zy: linux has a better bootloader
[20:58] <prince_jammys> gatestone: replaced "splash" with "nosplash" , right?
[20:58] <Flare183> !offtopic | aman
[20:58] <ubotu> aman: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[20:58] <Ximal> yes nickrud but I remember a tutorial on what to and not to do .. and that page is just the download page.. ;(
[20:58] <soulburner> so far unbuntu has done everything ive done in windows, and done it better
[20:58] <Flare183> !install | Ximal
[20:58] <ubotu> Ximal: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate
[20:59] <ejer> norml_advocat1: can you explain your question, what do you want to do
[20:59] <m3gach33zy> ejer: what does that mean exactly?
[20:59] <ynef> m3gach33zy: well, plays well in that regard meant that it will recognise the other os:s existance and add them to your boot menu -- and, of course, ubuntu can read windows' files, but not the other way around
[20:59] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: i think aptoncd uses the cache, and when you did autoclean, you cleared the cache *maybe*
[20:59] <gatestone> prince_jammys, I also added my specs to the relavan Ubuntu bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usplash/+bug/61711
[20:59] <ynef> m3gach33zy: (unless you install some extra drivers, that is)
[20:59] <ejer> m3gach33zy: you could go look into grub, don't think we could explain it all here
[20:59] <nickrud> Ximal: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PlayStation_3 ?
[20:59] <gary_> Flare183: There's a /usr/share/apps/kexi but no templates.
[20:59] <Flare183> gary_: i don't know then...
[20:59] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: are you trying to duplicate your installation on another computer?
[21:00] <Ximal> the ubotu actually helped. thanks guys
[21:00] <Vulcanis> So, I recently installed ubuntu on a thinkpad x60, and the wireless range is something like half that of what I got in windows
[21:00] <danand_> hi all - does anyone know how i can set up my entries in /dev so that /dev/cdrom and /dev/cdrom1 point to the devices I want them to. At the moment they are the wrong way round ie /dev/cdrom points to /dev/hdd and /dev/cdrom1 points to  /dev/hdc?
[21:00] <bartmon> If I add a user to a new group can I enforce the new settings without a reboot?
[21:00] <ynef> Vulcanis: does it work, though? the driver could just be reporting a really low value
[21:00] <Vulcanis> it works
[21:00] <nickrud> bartmon: log that user out completely, then log back in
[21:00] <Vulcanis> but my room, which I can get a mid-quality signal in windows, does not get a connection to the router in the living room
[21:01] <danand_> bartmon - just logout and log in again
[21:01] <ynef> Vulcanis: I have really crappy values too, but the same speed and actual quality as in windows
[21:01] <ynef> Vulcanis: ah, well, then that's a problem
[21:01] <Vulcanis> its only the range thats the problem
[21:01] <ynef> Vulcanis: what module are you using? is it ndiswrapper, or a native one?
[21:01] <choudesh> Vulcanis, you may want to increase your txpower
[21:02] <Vulcanis> just the one that came with ubuntu.  I'm somewhat new to this, I have not used *nix in two years.
[21:02] <norml_advocat1> prince_jammys i did clean the cache, and i am trying to make a cd for when I break my computer again
[21:02] <choudesh> Vulcanis, man iwconfig and look at txpower
[21:02] <ynef> Vulcanis: ok, can you type "lsmod | grep ndis" in a terminal and see if it gives you a response?
[21:02] <Vulcanis> thanks.  Any idea what it should be set to, chou?
[21:02] <HetaUma> any ideas why suddenly the shutdown and restart buttons from the main user disapear ?
[21:02] <Vulcanis> ynef: I'm not on the laptop right now, I'll go and grab it
[21:02] <bartmon> nickrud: danand_: thank
[21:02] <bartmon> youj
[21:03] <ynef> choudesh: how do you increase the tx power?
[21:03] <ynef> choudesh: i know how to read it, but how do I set it? :-)
[21:03] <choudesh> Vulcanis, most likely it is set to a powersaving mode. just check it out and see how to get it and give it a large integer, say 100000; that would increase it to the make
[21:03] <EnderTheThird> Anyone know how to enable thumbnails for network-mounted drives?
[21:03] <Vulcanis> thanks
[21:03] <ynef> ah, there you go: it's in iwconfig of course ;-)
[21:03] <choudesh> ynef, look at man iwconfig; txpower section
[21:04] <ynef> choudesh: yeah :-)
[21:04] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: you could just save a list of all the packages and then apt-get install them all in the future.  there's a script that does that
[21:04] <bartmon> Is there a website detailing user groups on a linux system?
[21:04] <norml_advocat1> prince_jammys but i dont always have the net. and want a disc
[21:04] <bartmon> at least the common ones
[21:04] <choudesh> Vulcanis, if that doesn't help - come back and I will help you more
[21:04] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: ah
[21:04] <^CatMan^> i just tried putting the settings back the defaults with the only diff bein the nvidia driver, but when i try to 'startx' it says no screens found :(
[21:05] <choudesh> Vulcanis, you may have to ping me a few times to get my attention
[21:05] <ejer> bartmon: http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/users_in_ubuntu
[21:05] <norml_advocat1> Does anyone know how to get aptoncd to recognize installed packages?
[21:05] <ph0rensic> norml_advocat1, There is probably a way to package them on the disc, and then the script can read the disc as a repository to install everything
[21:05] <choudesh> norml_advocat1, installed or that are in the cache?
[21:05] <bartmon> ejer: thanks
[21:05] <aoupi> bartmon: there is an explanation next to them in "Users and Groups"
[21:05] <norml_advocat1> choudesh installed I just cleared the cache
[21:06] <choudesh> norml_advocat1, easiest way is just to apt-get download-only packages you have installed then they are added to the cache again and let aptoncd look there
[21:06] <ynef> ^CatMan^: well, that can be for any number of reasons -- look in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log where you have errors (EE)
[21:06] <ejer> bartmon: http://ccollins.wordpress.com/2007/07/02/restore-default-ubuntu-groups/
[21:06] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: apt-get does have a download-only option that you should look into
[21:06] <norml_advocat1> choudesh you the man
[21:06] <norml_advocat1> thanks
[21:06] <^CatMan^> ynef: what exactly am i looking for?
[21:06] <ynef> ^CatMan^: stuff that says "(EE) ...something"
[21:06] <choudesh> norml_advocat1, thank the channel, we are all here to help
[21:06] <bartmon> aoupi: i don't have that menu entry
[21:07] <ynef> ^CatMan^: no screens found could be that your kernel module does not match the installed driver, for instance
[21:07] <norml_advocat1> thanks channel!!!
[21:07] <^CatMan^> ok
[21:07] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: this will generate the list:::: sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep 'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?go=Go&search=:space:install$='| awk '{print $1}' > installedpackages
[21:07] <ThipThip> Question:  Is there reason to be concerned about security with a wireless keyboard in Ubuntu?  Couldn't someone with some kind of sniffer pick up all of my keystrokes?  The logitech keyboard I'm using has a security program for Windows, the actual efficacy of which I have no idea.  Is there some generic equivalent for Linux (there appears not to be one from logitech).  Should I be worried?
[21:07] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: ooops
[21:07] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: don't know what happened there
[21:07] <aoupi> bartmon: it comes when you hilight a user, click properties and then in the User priviliges tab
[21:07] <white_eagle> just a  general question, do usb wifi receivers work with ubuntu or linux in general?
[21:08] <[chr0n0s]> white_eagle, as a matter of fact they do
[21:08] <norml_advocat1> prince_jammys please say again
[21:08] <Kitar|st> http://wiresmash.com/gaming/top-5-amazing-free-games-you-probably-never-played-and-should/
[21:08] <choudesh> ThipThip, to be honest - there is no such program for *nix.
[21:08] <ejer> ThipThip: you should be worried if you have reason to... but you should understand there are bigger security risks
[21:08] <white_eagle> [chr0n0s]: do all of them work?
[21:08] <shad0w1e> hey is anyone familiar with 'FakeRaid'? How would I repair a fakeraid?
[21:08] <white_eagle> frome the newer ones
[21:08] <white_eagle> I mean
[21:08] <[chr0n0s]> white_eagle, they don't
[21:08] <choudesh> ThipThip, wireless keyboards/mice are inherently insecure.
[21:08] <white_eagle> [chr0n0s]: what setupd do they require?
[21:08] <white_eagle> setup*
[21:09] <aheckler> does anyone know how i can set a script to autorun when i mount my external HDD?
[21:09] <ThipThip> ejer:  Bigger security risks?  To what are you referring?
[21:09] <^CatMan^> ok, found it yver
[21:09] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: check this site:: http://www.debianadmin.com/clone-your-ubuntu-installation.html  ,, but on the last step, see if you can use "apt-get --download-only install" instead of "aptitude install"
[21:09] <ejer> ThipThip: unless you are really securing your system, I would not worry about wireless keyboard
[21:09] <ThipThip> choudesh:  I wouldn't be worried about mouse clicks... Best to stick to wired for the keyboard you think?  Is it easy to "sniff" the signal?
[21:09] <ynef> ^CatMan^: did you mean me? :-) and if so, what was the problem?
[21:09] <[chr0n0s]> white_eagle, that's a too general question to be answered, but most of the intel cards work, and broadcomm also works
[21:09] <ejer> ThipThip: for instance keyloggers are trivial to get and use
[21:10] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: sorry, no "install"
[21:10] <ThipThip> ejer:  Well I'd like to think that eavesdropping and the like is more or less impossible... Am I wrong with ubuntu out of the box?
[21:10] <choudesh> ThipThip, WLOGS yes.
[21:10] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: check "man apt-get" for how to just download
[21:10] <^CatMan^> ynef: yeah, sorry, and the error was Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module
[21:10] <ejer> ThipThip: no system is entirely secure I would have to say
[21:10] <ThipThip> ejer:  Yes, but someone would have to have physical access to my computer to install a keylogger, no?
[21:10] <ejer> yep
[21:10] <karl_> when i am installing libc6 i get "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place, /sbin/ldconfig.real: Cannot mmap file /lib/libc.so.6."
[21:10] <karl_> anyone know how to reconsile?
[21:10] <white_eagle> thanks [chr0n0s]
[21:10] <b4l74z4r> is all my system settings stored on my home partition, so if i re-install, all my settings will be kept?
[21:10] <EnderTheThird> anyone know why gnome doesn't show thumbnails for a drive mounted from a network, or if there's a way to get it to?
[21:10] <ynef> ^CatMan^: what did you do with your nvidia driver? did you install the one on the website, or something?
[21:10]  * m3gab0y is Away: Just Away.
[21:10] <bastid_raZor> is there a way to find out why a package was put on hold if not done by the user?
[21:10] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: the site gives you a way of generating the package list and saving it on a file.  you will then use this file to redownload everything
[21:11] <bartmon> ejer: that 2nd link looks like a winner
[21:11] <bartmon> thanks
[21:11] <ejer> this is theoretical stuff ThipThip just saying you are more likely to have your box rooted than your wireless keyboard decrypted
[21:11] <ynef> b4l74z4r: well, your personal settings are stored there -- system settings are stored in /etc -- might want to copy that to your home account
[21:11] <ejer> bastid_raZor: what do you mean?
[21:12] <^CatMan^> ynef: i didn't think it did anything with it, the website said make sure i am using the nvidia driver, not the nv, so i unchecked the nv one and checked the nvidia driver, then i lost x :(
[21:12] <norml_advocat1> prince_jammys i just want to burn all my packs to a cd
[21:12] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: right, the question is whether you have to redownload them. do you?
[21:12] <ynef> ^CatMan^: have you installed the driver itself, then?
[21:12] <Vulcanis> choudesh: It worked, thanks.
[21:13] <orgy_> hi, im trying to get my cpu freq scaling to work. but it seems like powernowd needs one of those powernow-k* modules. but theyre not loaded, and i cant load them. where do i get them?
[21:13] <choudesh> Vulcanis, no problem.
[21:13] <bastid_raZor> ejer; when i ran aptitude safe-upgrade it tells me several packages were held back. i did not tell any packages to be held back. why would aptitude automatically hold them?
[21:13] <ejer> bastid_raZor: because you asked for a safe upgrade
[21:13] <blend> hiih
[21:13] <ejer> bastid_raZor: do a dist-upgrade to install them
[21:13] <white_eagle> bye guys
[21:13] <ThipThip> ejer:  Do you have any general suggestions to keep from being rooted?
[21:14] <^CatMan^> i ran it thru dpkgreconfigure xserver-xorg
[21:14] <bastid_raZor> ejer; i'm confused why a safe-upgrade would hold them? would apt-get be a better way to go then?
[21:14] <ejer> ThipThip: i don't think you need to worry much, use a router, a software firewall if you like
[21:14] <norml_advocat1> prince_jammys my computer is working fine right now.  But I want to backup my packages for later.  but my aptoncd is not finding my installed packages.  where are they stored?
[21:14] <aoupi> ThipThip: disable services you don't use, use strong passwords, update often
[21:14] <ejer> bastid_raZor: you specifically asked not to install non-'safe' packages
[21:14] <choudesh> ejer, even with a dist-upgrade packages are help back. The reason for being help back is dep-issues, ver-issues and packages non exists in the new repo but cater to dep-issues
[21:14] <ThipThip> ejer, aoupi:  Thank you.
[21:14] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: i understand perfectly what you want to do.  i'm just not sure whether you have redownload the packages after clearing the cache
[21:15] <bastid_raZor> ejer; ahh i see.. okay .. thank you
[21:15] <ejer> choudesh: that should not happen...
[21:15] <norml_advocat1> i did not redownload anything yet.  do i have to ?
[21:15] <choudesh> ejer, what should not happen?
[21:15] <norml_advocat1> i just want to backup whats installed already
[21:15] <ejer> choudesh: dep issues etc
[21:15] <ejer> apt-get upgrade will not install kernel releases for example
[21:16] <prince_jammys> ejer: norml_advocat1 did apt-get autoclean and now wants to save his installed packages using aptoncd. does he need to redownload the packages with apt-get --download-only?
[21:16] <^CatMan^> um... did i do something wrong?
[21:16] <danbhfive> ok, I want to install another OS, using a virtual machine,   what keyword am I looking for?  or what program am I looking for?
[21:16] <aheckler> is there a way to autorun a script when i plug in my external HDD?
[21:16] <hunterp> is there some easy way to grow my partitions?
[21:16] <choudesh> ejer, they do. install 7.04 and dist-upgrade -d to 7.10, many packages will be help back because of loss of dep-issues
[21:16] <ejer> danbhfive: virtualbox.org is good
[21:16] <ejer> choudesh: that is not the way to upgrade :)
[21:17] <ejer> i did not say you could not make it happen, it should not if you do things the ubuntu way
[21:17] <ubuntu_> can someone help me set up a dual windows/ubuntu boot?
[21:17] <danbhfive> ejer: thanks
[21:17] <choudesh> ejer, shit happens (if anyone ubotu languages me...)
[21:17] <norml_advocat1> ejer: norml_advocat1 did apt-get autoclean and now wants to save his installed packages using aptoncd. does he need to redownload the packages with apt-get --download-only?
[21:17] <ubuntu_> can someone help me set up a dual windows/ubuntu boot?
[21:18] <xidarian> ubuntu_ best thing you can do is install windows first, leaving freespace for ubuntu then install ubuntu on the freespace
[21:18] <ejer> choudesh: only if you don't follow procedures, or want to get hackish
[21:18] <ubuntu_> xidarian, Here's the thing: I already have both windows and ubuntu fully installed
[21:18] <xidarian> ubuntu_ well, what exactly is yoru problem
[21:18] <ubuntu_> xidarian, But I can only get on windows... right now i'm using ubuntu live CD to access ubuntu files
[21:18] <xrestassuredx> ubuntu_: what version of windows?
[21:18] <ubuntu_> xidarian, XP
[21:19] <aheckler> is there a way to autorun a script when i plug in my external HDD?
[21:19] <Raizard> How can I delete an icon on the desktop that i can't remove with the right click?
[21:19] <choudesh> ejer, not really...just look at packages.ubuntu.com and find a package that doesn't exist in 7.10 that did in 7.04...then find a package that depends on that package in 7.04 but not in 7.10 and you will see held back packages
[21:19] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: once that question is answered, things will be clearer :)
[21:19] <norml_advocat1> prince_jammys who will answer is the question
[21:20] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: he's your best bet at the moment
[21:20] <^CatMan^> ok, where can i download the nvidia driver, or where would it be on my system to see if i need to download it?
[21:20] <ejer> choudesh: how would someone get in this situation? they would not have used update-manager i guess, so they broke stuff
[21:20] <norml_advocat1> prince_jammys i did run that download-only thing
[21:20] <IndyGunFreak> ^CatMan^: have you looked in System/Admin/Restricted?
[21:20] <norml_advocat1> didnt work
[21:20] <ejer> Raizard: which icon
[21:20] <ubuntu_> xrestassuredx, Sorry, I thought you were xidarian... I am using XP
[21:20] <^CatMan^> indygunfreak: i can't even get into x!
[21:20] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: error message?
[21:21] <norml_advocat1> lemme do it again
[21:21] <choudesh> ejer, just find a package that doesn't exist in 7.10 that did a previous version and some other package depends on it. Then you have a held back package. That is all.
[21:21] <ompaul> choudesh, if you know the requested standard of behaviour why transgress?
[21:21] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: you did it using the link i posted?  also you have to learn the syntax for the apt-get --download-only command
[21:21] <ejer> right you are choudesh
[21:21] <ubuntu_> Can someone help me set up a windows/ubuntu dual boot?
[21:22] <ubuntu_> I have both installed, but I can only access windows now.
[21:22] <norml_advocat1> prince_jammys i am lost
[21:22] <brobostigon> !dualboot | ubuntu_

[21:22] <choudesh> ompaul, what rules am I disregarding?
[21:22] <norml_advocat1> the command is just giving me a bunch of option thingys
[21:22] <IndyGunFreak> ^CatMan^: ok, well, then you need to reconfigure xorg.conf using generic defaults, then when you get back to X, work on the driver install... run this command... sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[21:22] <ompaul> choudesh, your comment if anyone ubotu languages me ....
[21:22] <IndyGunFreak> ^CatMan^: like i said, use generics.. don't worry about wether things are perfect, get back to the GUI first
[21:22] <norml_advocat1> prince_jammys i dont know the syntax
[21:23] <gatestone> ubuntu_, you could try just grub-install /dev/hda or whatever. But that's risky.
[21:23] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: ok if you do the first part of what is in that link, you generate a list of your installed packages that gets saved to a file called "installledpackages"
[21:23] <choudesh> ompaul, heh. Long story. Thought willis or lj would have seen that.
[21:23] <^CatMan^> i just ran that one, changing the video card to the nvidia drivers not the nv like the website said
[21:23] <choudesh> ompaul, sorry.
[21:23] <ompaul> !grub | ubuntu_
[21:23] <ubotu> ubuntu_: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[21:23] <^CatMan^> go back to the nv?
[21:23] <ubuntu_> But I already have windows and ubuntu installed
[21:23] <norml_advocat1> prince_jammys where is it saved?
[21:23] <ubuntu_> I installed ubuntu first, made a partition, put windows on that, but now I can't access my ubuntu partition!
[21:23] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: in the same folder where you ran the command
[21:23] <IndyGunFreak> ^CatMan^: if you want, but you don't listen well, what part of "generic defaults" do you not get?
[21:23] <ompaul> ubuntu_, check out that ubuntu grub link
[21:24] <aheckler> is there a way to autorun a script when i plug in my external HDD?
[21:24] <ejer> aheckler: put autorun.sh script in root of drive
[21:24] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: most likely in your home, if that is where you are running the command.   find out by typing "pwd"
[21:24] <gatestone> ubuntu_, if you boot to Ubuntu CD, then you can replace the Windows boot loader you have now with Grub.
[21:24] <ubuntu_> gaten, Will that mess up my windows?
[21:24] <spaceninja> how do I automatically mount other hard drive?
[21:24] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: that file is a text file, you can view it

[21:25] <ompaul> !grub > ubuntu_ (Read The Message From The Bot, it is how you fix your issues)
[21:25] <spaceninja> I know what fstab is
[21:25] <gatestone> Maybe, hopefully not. It should find your Windows install and put it into boot menu of Grub.
[21:25] <spaceninja> but I want it automatic
[21:25] <norml_advocat1> prince_jammys its blank
[21:25] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: ok now you have to do the second part, only instead of installing everything, download everything
[21:25] <ubuntu_> ompaul, The one you listed?
[21:25] <spaceninja> no fstab, just auto
[21:25] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: oh
[21:25] <choudesh> spaceninja, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=566759
[21:25] <norml_advocat1> poooo
[21:25] <brobostigon> ubuntu_: no it wont harm windows, only the boot loader in the mbr will be able to boot both linux and windows,
[21:25] <ompaul> ubuntu_, there is a private message from ubotu it tells you how to recover from your current situation
[21:26] <Ayabara> is there a way I can make the title-bar of my windows smaller? is that done just by downloading a different theme?
[21:26] <aheckler> ejer: and make sure the box is checked in the Removable Drives and Media box thing?
[21:26] <zorce> hey, a quick question, is it okay to write protect xorg? cos ubuntu is reseting it
[21:26] <sheva> someone tell me the command to join a server of my choice
[21:26] <gatestone> ubuntu_, in worst case you get Windows master boot record back with Windows intall disks, recovery mode, "fixmbr"
[21:26] <ejer> aheckler: you may need to set the exec flag on mount, this is a security feature... google it, that is where i found it
[21:26] <ubuntu_> thanks ompaul and gatestone
[21:26] <ubuntu_> hopefully this will work
[21:27] <norml_advocat1> ejer how do i get aptoncd to recognize installed packs?
[21:27] <aheckler> ejer: alrighty, thanks
[21:27] <ejer> i don't know what that is or why you would use it norml_advocat1
[21:27] <gatestone> ubuntu_, try it and tell use then
[21:27] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: get rid of the equal sign in that command, try it
[21:27] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: and then view the file
[21:28] <norml_advocat1> ejer aptoncd burns downloaded packages to cd. but i autocleaned my cache.  now it wont find my packs
[21:28] <norml_advocat1> prince_jammys ok
[21:28] <ejer> norml_advocat1: start over?
[21:28] <Dirty\monkey> evening all
[21:28] <NeedHelpPlz> hello can someone help me plz? :x
[21:28] <norml_advocat1> prince_jammys you did it!
[21:28] <ejer> and there is not that much point in doing that norml_advocat1 since packages change pretty often, better to keep a list of installed apps
[21:28] <Ayabara> is there a way to adjust the text size of my title bar?
[21:28] <Dirty\monkey> can i enable remote desktop via. ssh?
[21:29] <ompaul> !vnc | Dirty\monkey
[21:29] <ejer> Dirty\monkey: use x11vnc
[21:29] <ubotu> Dirty\monkey: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX
[21:29] <NeedHelpPlz> i need help with an ultra noob question :x
[21:29] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: ok now you to do the second part, but substitute the final "aptitude install" with the command to just download the stuff
[21:29] <IndyGunFreak> NeedHelpPlz: well, we aren't mind readers
[21:29] <Dirty\monkey> the problem i have is that i can only access my VPS via SSH
[21:29] <ejer> Ayabara: system>prefs>appearance ?

[21:30] <absalom> hello, Im ptrying to play an avi but both mplayer and kaffeine refuses. I have downloaded some "extra-pack" full of stuff to listen to mp3s for example. WHat could be the problem?
[21:30] <ubuntu_> ompaul, Ok, I'm confused if you are still there
[21:30] <gatestone> Dirty\monkey, you can also run xinit, then ssh to your box with X forwarding on, then run gnome-session
[21:30] <absalom> s there a g-spot for ubuntu?
[21:30] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: also substitute "aptitude" with "apt-get" if that is the way you've been installing things
[21:30] <ubuntu_> ompaul, When I hit "tab" it doesn't return anything like it tells me I should return
[21:30] <IndyGunFreak> NeedHelpPlz: trumbling?
[21:30] <ubuntu_> absalom, ew.
[21:30] <Ayabara> ejer: of course.. thanks :-)

[21:31] <ejer> absalom: mplayer -identify
[21:31] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: it will probably be cat installedpackages | xargs sudo apt-get --download-only
[21:32] <ompaul> ubuntu_, you may have done more damage like installed windows over ubuntu completely
[21:32] <ejer> norml_advocat1: sudo dpkg -l
[21:32] <ejer> oh sorry
[21:32] <ejer> thought you were just trying to list packages
[21:32] <ubuntu_> ompaul, No, I am sure ubuntu is still there.  A) my partition editors tell me that I still have my original partition and the files are still there B) I can access the original files
[21:32] <ompaul> ubuntu_, check this part of that page:   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows#head-778ecd20f83f92ebaa5aaec5f1b4615539c2f8d3
[21:32] <prince_jammys> ejer he has a list already, need to pipe the output to apt-get and only download them, no install

[21:33] <GodlikeGr> ejer the prob is that i didnt install it yet
[21:33] <ubuntu_> ompaul, So if it doesn't work, I'll be back.  Thanks for your help.  Gotta go reboot.
[21:33] <prince_jammys> not sure if this is then just apt-get --download-only  <package-names>
[21:33] <ompaul> ubuntu_, it is a section in that page -- check that in full
[21:33] <norml_advocat1> prince_jammys when I typed xargs sudo apt-get --download-only it didnt do anything
[21:34] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: all one line?
[21:34] <norml_advocat1> yeah?
[21:34] <choudesh> norml_advocat1, you must give it a package
[21:34] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: cat blablbala .....xargs  all on one line
[21:34] <nickrud> prince_jammys: dpkg -l | cut --delimiter=" " --field=3 gives the list of installed packages

[21:36] <nickrud> norml_advocat1: one quick question: have you increased the apt archive cache size yet? If not, it'll max out at 500mb
[21:36] <Dirty\monkey> is nano installed by default?

[21:48] <darko_miloshevic> After starting, ubuntu works on my laptop, b ut I can not hear the sound, where is the problem?
[21:48] <gatestone> or "yum install nano"

[21:49] <prince_jammys> maybe these gents can help you with vi then
[21:49] <TurtleOfDoom> Dirty\monkey: try typing "which pico"

[22:01] <kbrooks> norml_advocat1, but he's wrong
[22:01] <kbrooks> TurtleOfDoom, doesnt
[22:01] <kbrooks> notice -d

[22:01] <ejer> it does not work norml_advocat1 sorry, don't get the issue

[22:01] <ubuntu_1> ompaul, Well, do you remember me
[22:02] <norml_advocat1> it is working
[22:02] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: isnt that what you wanted to do?

[22:02] <ubuntu_1> ompaul, You directed me to recovering ubuntu help file.
[22:02] <norml_advocat1> not EVERYTHING
[22:02] <prince_jammys> norml_advocat1: that was the whole point

[22:03] <ubuntu_1> ompaul, Well, now when I click  ubuntu it says something like "error 22 no partition"
[22:03] <mad_max02> and there is something funny about it all
[22:03] <mad_max02> I FEEL GREAT
[22:03] <norml_advocat1> So here is what I want to do
[22:03] <keito> whats about reiserfs?! mad_max02
[22:03] <ubuntu_1> ompaul, It won't recognize my ubuntu partition, only my windows one
[22:03]  * keito dreams once more of ZFS
[22:03] <ubuntu_1> ompaul, Should I just reinstall ubuntu :(
[22:03] <mad_max02> keito, I thought much about linux FS and I decided I'll go for old reliable ext path
[22:03] <norml_advocat1> I want to reinstall ubuntustudio, with my codecs, and a few apps that I use and especially fwcutter 43xx
[22:04] <norml_advocat1> so i guess Ill just start from scratch
[22:04] <keito> mad_max02: fairplay. i did exactly what you have just done a while back now. no more win for me
[22:04] <ompaul> ubuntu_1, well you would have it installed twice over for the time spent on irc ;-)   note the correct order is windows - then ubuntu
[22:04] <ubuntu_1> oh :(
[22:04] <mad_max02> THANK GOD FOR THAT
[22:04] <mad_max02> one more thing
[22:04] <ubuntu_1> ompaul, Well, I'll try it again... I don't really wanna reset all my settings though
[22:04] <mad_max02> keito, I learned much stuff only trying to get all the things working :D
[22:04] <wawawewa> hello to everyone
[22:05] <luisgmarine_> Hello I got 2 hard drives on my laptop, and I want to use the second one for music and movies, but for some reason i cant save anything to it.  Like I can't access it unless I manually mount it, anyway to fix this?  Like how do I get that extra HDD to be my media drive?
[22:05] <keito> mad_max02: its a steep learning curve but it's well worth it
[22:05] <Ximal> is there a way to get ubuntu to use the ethernet adapter inside the ps3 ?
[22:05] <mad_max02> Linux still aint "out of the box" system but you shure can have much fun setting it up
[22:05] <prince_jammys> luisgmarine what kind of filesystem is the second drive?
[22:05] <mrcheeks> Hello guys I have an issue with exim4, I cannot upgrade it , there is a file called exim4 in etc which I can not delete. I get the following message rm: cannot remove `/etc/exim4': Invalid argument
[22:06] <keito> luisgmarine_: you need to add it to your fstab
[22:06] <n00dle> Has anyone got a bluetooth headset to work with ubuntu?   Like have seperate folders for music and movies and such things?
[22:06] <faileas> mad_max02: depends on the box ;p
[22:06] <prince_jammys> luisgmarine yes
[22:07] <keito> luisgmarine_: what filesystem is it
[22:07] <mad_max02> faileas, well I have even better box then the rest of them :D
[22:07] <prince_jammys> luisgmarine where is it currently mounted?
[22:07] <danbhfive> my virtual os installation is having trouble connecting to the net.  It says it dhcps fine, but it can't connect to archive.ubuntu.com
[22:07] <faileas> mad_max02: my old thinkpad took one tweak ;p
[22:08] <luisgmarine_> keito, reisferfs
[22:08] <mad_max02> faileas, hehe :D
[22:08] <TurtleOfDoom> danbhfive: did you try ping yahoo.com?
[22:08] <mad_max02> anyways I'm off
[22:08] <mad_max02> gotta hit the shower
[22:08] <mad_max02> laters
[22:08] <keito> you need to probably set permissions too?
[22:08] <danbhfive> TurtleOfDoom: unfortunately, ping aint installed yet
[22:08] <bartmon> Hey again. I want to run a lightweight HTTP file listing server called webfsd. In the man page it says "Webfsd will
[22:08] <keito> !fstab | luisgmarine_
[22:08] <bartmon>        serve any regular file and provide listings for  any  directory  it  is
[22:08] <bartmon>        able to open(2)." I don't know what this means.
[22:08] <ubotu> luisgmarine_: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[22:09] <TurtleOfDoom> no ping, that's interesting
[22:09]  * AtomicSpark shivers at bad grammer
[22:09] <prince_jammys> luisgmarine sorry, i have no experience with reiserfs  mount options
[22:09] <luisgmarine_> keito I dont think so.  When I installed Ubuntu I just asked the ubuntu partitioner to wipe the hdd clean and install the reisferfs on it
[22:09] <TurtleOfDoom> do you have wget installed?
[22:09] <brobostigon> danbhfive: ping is always installed
[22:09] <danbhfive> TurtleOfDoom: you know what, I'm trying to do a netinstall.  Maybe I should just download the disk, so nvm
[22:09] <keito> !reiserfs | luisgmarine_
[22:09] <ubotu> luisgmarine_: reiserfs is a journalling file system, which outperforms many others on I/O operations, but has drawbacks (such as increasing likelihood of data loss, and introducing latency unsuitable for gaming or real-time audio). Using !ext3, the default on Ubuntu, is *highly* recommended. A read-only Windows driver is available at http://p-nand-q.com/download/rfstool.html
[22:09] <TurtleOfDoom> ah, netinstall that expalins it
[22:09] <Ximal> anyone ?
[22:10] <n00dle> Anyone using a bluetooth headset with ubuntu?
[22:10] <shingouz> ideas on why a fresh gutsy does not want to ifup eth0 automagically when hotplugging the pcmcia. interfaces has "allow-hotplug eth0, iface eth0 inet dhcp"
[22:10] <danbhfive> brobostigon: is ping installed before a netinstall has started? and I drop to a terminal?  it says ping is a bad command, but I do have route  :p
[22:10] <luisgmarine_> I can reinstall if its that big of a problem
[22:10] <TurtleOfDoom> dan, try which ping
[22:10] <luisgmarine_> I think I just might re-install
[22:10] <brobostigon> danbhfive: never used netinstall, so no idea
[22:10] <keito> luisgmarine_: have you checked you fstab to make sure it is there, that will automount your drive and tell the system whether you can write to it or whether its read only
[22:11] <keito> luisgmarine_: all the insfo should be there
[22:11] <TurtleOfDoom> danbhfive: maybe try "lynx yahoo.com?
[22:11] <keito> luisgmarine_: you will not need to re-install
[22:11] <danbhfive> hey guys, i retract the question, im just gona do a different install, its not worth it
[22:11] <TurtleOfDoom> danbhfive: that would be my suggestion
[22:11] <keito> luisgmarine_: that would be a waste of your valuable time ;)
[22:11] <Ximal> My playstation 3 ubuntu install isn't noticing the network adapter... would someone explain to mehow to download/configure such drivers, pls ?
[22:11]  * Ttech is away: Bimbling
[22:12] <prince_jammys> luisgmarine_: i dont think reinstalling is necessary
[22:12] <luisgmarine_> keito it doesn't look like its there
[22:12] <danbhfive> TurtleOfDoom: both lynx and which are not found
[22:12] <danbhfive> :p
[22:12] <TurtleOfDoom> danbhfive: then you can't be helped :P
[22:12] <squarebracket> is there a way to log out of a session remotely?
[22:12] <luisgmarine_> It just has the / , /home/ and swap.  Then an entry for my cdrom
[22:12] <brobostigon> ximal: 1st) run dmesg and then lshw, and see if its recognized
[22:12] <prince_jammys> luisgmarine_:   do " sudo fdisk -l"  and see any reiserfs devices
[22:12]  * Ttech is back (gone 00:00:06)
[22:12] <keito> luisgmarine_:  well thats why then sonny, read the note ubotu left you above regarding fstab and follow the guide
[22:12] <squarebracket> i didn't log out of my computer when i left, and i want to close the session
[22:12] <Ximal> ok brbrobostigon
[22:13] <luca007> scusate nessuno ha mai usato freenas
[22:13] <bartmon> Argh, I'll just ask the whole deal: How can I set up a server which would serve files from a smb network of the local machine? Right now I'm using webfs for the server and smbnetfs to mount the samba network into a folder but webfsd won't display anything in that folder. It displays "regular" folder contents.
[22:13] <AntiUSA> HEEEEEEEELPPPP!!!! I've chosen a display resolution that my monitor doesn't support!

[22:28] <reikalusikka> my pc is just old
[22:28] <prince_jammys> luisgmarine_: correct, that seems to be it
[22:28] <luisgmarine_> please tell me I'm correct
[22:28] <reikalusikka> geforce 2
[22:28] <reikalusikka> ;D
[22:28] <luisgmarine_> prince_jammys : ok thanks I think I got it now
[22:28] <narfu> nabend, jetzt von neuem laptop mit u7.10 ;P
[22:29] <ph0rensic> ejer, technically your right, but I guess I was talking about the settings in ccsm as custom
[22:29] <bartmon> jeffMASTERflex: that's... a lot :) will read through it though
[22:29] <mEck0> Hi! Does a symbian-based smartphone generally sync ok with e.g. Evolution?
[22:29] <ejer> thk u ph0rensic :)
[22:29] <jeffMASTERflex> bartmon: well it does say it is THE definitive guide. lol
[22:30] <patogen> What is a good permission to set for /home and others? Someone fooled me into setting everything to 644 which isn't very good. So i booted up with a recovery cd and set it to 777...
[22:30] <prince_jammys> luisgmarine_: you will have to create that folder with sudo mkdir /media/folder_name in order to mount it, of course
[22:30] <d90_> is there a linux low level format tool for us disks
[22:30] <ejer> patogen: 644 is correct for files
[22:30] <ejer> 777 is not
[22:30] <d90_> is there a linux low level format tool for usb disks
[22:30] <jeffMASTERflex> d90_: fdisk
[22:30] <patogen> ejer: How come when I did set it to 644 I couldn't do anything?
[22:31] <narfu> eehm ich versuche grade avn zu installieren, habe die anleitung im wiki bevolgt,. allerdings können iwelche packete nicht gelesen werden
[22:31] <prince_jammys> patogen: you couldnt open the folder
[22:31] <patogen> My home should be 644?
[22:31] <ejer> patogen: 644 means only the user who owns the file can write to it
[22:31] <ejer> patogen: directories are usually 755
[22:31] <patogen> Yeah, and someone fooled me into doing this with /
[22:31] <prince_jammys> patogen careful with bulk changing the permissions of your home
[22:31] <patogen> which made me unable to do anything
[22:31] <CVD-PR> hey
[22:31] <ejer> patogen: doing that in / (root) will break the system
[22:32] <ejer> as i guess you found out
[22:32] <patogen> ejer: I noticed it.
[22:32] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[22:32] <ejer> i don't think there is an easy way to go back
[22:32] <narfu> ums mal etwas preziser zu sagen : http://rafb.net/p/tAU2Ta99.html
[22:32] <narfu> ;)
[22:32] <ejer> 1. beat person who said that 2. reinstall 3. profit
[22:32] <patogen> So what should I set /home and /etc and all others to?  if there is some least worst way
[22:32] <pretts> hi
[22:33] <d90_> jeffMASTERflex, I mean to write all zeros to disk
[22:33] <ejer> patogen: it is not going to be easy, all sorts of different permissions are needed
[22:33] <iowahc> hy there. When I watch a movie in Gutsy with VLC my Xorg is on 82-90% of CPU Usage. Anyone any suggestions what i could be? I hav compiz active and the newest fglrx driver from ATI.
[22:33] <ph0rensic> d90_, that takes forever.. I did it recently
[22:33] <d90_> jeffMASTERflex, fdisk doesnt have this option
[22:33] <prince_jammys> patogen: if you indeed changed those permissions, things are such a mess that reinstalling is not a bad idea
[22:33] <d90_> ph0rensic, jus say it is usb disk of 1GB
[22:33] <patogen> Gah.
[22:33] <pretts> if I delete everything in my $HOME whenever I run some app it will recreate the apropriate files?  ATI's drivers are slow and will use a lot of CPU.
[22:34] <ejer> not securely, but will allow you to use it
[22:35] <ejer> pretts: don't delete everything.... but in general, yes
[22:35] <ejer> backup first pretts
[22:35] <Scunizi> ph0rensic, ok.. I've got emerald installed via synaptic.. and see a theme I'd like to load that is within the default ... how do I do that?
[22:35] <jeffMASTERflex> d90_: wipe is nice in that it writes random data using /dev/urandom
[22:35] <iowahc> magnetron: ok, when I use the open source driver everything should be fine?
[22:35] <ComradeMirror> Hey guys
[22:35] <mrcheeks> How can I deal with that please? ls: cannot access /etc/exim4: Invalid argument
[22:35] <pretts> ejer, I messed up permissions etc that's why I'm asking this :D
[22:35] <prince_jammys> people doing some radical stuff here
[22:35] <ComradeMirror> Does Linux have anything similar to Windows XP's language bar?
[22:36] <patogen> Hmm or wait ... drwxr-xr-x on /etc means? sorry for asking silly questions without looking up first
[22:36] <ComradeMirror> Where I can type japanese on an english keyboard?
[22:36] <magnetron> iowahc: no, the open source driver for ATI is not that good yet either.
[22:36] <d90_> ejer, I need something to hide bad sectors which are root@d90-desktop:/home/d90# fsck.vfat -t -a /dev/sdb1
[22:36] <d90_> dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN
[22:36] <d90_> Cluster 19431 is unreadable.
[22:36] <d90_> Cluster 19432 is unreadable.
[22:36] <d90_> Cluster 19433 is unreadable.
[22:36] <d90_> Cluster 19434 is unreadable.
[22:36] <ejer> that is 755 patogen
[22:36] <FloodBot2> d90_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:36] <patogen> but I really need to use the computer...
[22:36] <ph0rensic> Scunizi, You probably have to type emerald --replace in the terminal to make it your window decorator, then you just click on the theme you want to use within emerald manager
[22:36] <prince_jammys> patogen: who owns it?
[22:36] <Scunizi> ComradeMirror, always wondered what that was for in windows. It use to drive me crazy.
[22:36] <ComradeMirror> Ah
[22:36] <patogen> prince_jammys: root
[22:36] <iowahc> magnetron: wich one shall i use then?
[22:36] <ejer> d90_: afaik this will be done on a reformat
[22:36] <ComradeMirror> Scunizi it allows you to type in different languages on keyboards x.x does Linux have anything like that?
[22:36] <Scunizi> ph0rensic, ah.. so simple yet cryptic.. and if I want to go back to compiz then compiz --replace?
[22:36] <ComradeMirror> Cause I do my japanese homework on my computer
[22:37] <prince_jammys> patogen: thats fine
[22:37] <ComradeMirror> and I don't want to switch between windows and linux for japanese homework
[22:37] <ph0rensic> d90_, I think if you zero the drive that will correct those or atleast hide them
[22:37] <ejer> d90_: http://www.webservertalk.com/message1950145.html
[22:37] <magnetron> iowahc: none of them are really good. i would avoid ATI altogether at the moment.
[22:37] <ph0rensic> Scunizi, No, compiz works with emerald
[22:37] <patogen> prince_jammys: Hmm, only /home seems to be 777 somehow
[22:37] <Scunizi> ComradeMirror, I think you just change the language setting.
[22:37] <prince_jammys> patogen: do  cd /   and then ls -l   and pastebin
[22:37] <iowahc> my first install of gutsy went fine
[22:37] <iowahc> magnetron: with the driver from the CD everything worked fine
[22:38] <Scunizi> ph0rensic, so when I do emerald --replace  what is it replacing (name).. metacity?
[22:38] <iowahc> wich driver are they?
[22:38] <iowahc> magnetron: wich driver are they?
[22:38] <ComradeMirror> Scunizi I don't think it would work that way
[22:38] <ph0rensic> Scunizi, yes afaik
[22:38] <ComradeMirror> That would change my linux writing to japanese too
[22:38] <ComradeMirror> x.x
[22:38] <d90_> I gonna try some of those you advised for formating
[22:38] <magnetron> iowahc: the open source one. but i don-t think the open source one supports compiz
[22:38] <nickrud> ComradeMirror: system->prefs->layouts to enable the keyboard layouts, then right click the panel keyboard indicator
[22:38] <iowahc> magnetron: well they did to me
[22:38] <nickrud> ComradeMirror: add keyboard indicator, that is
[22:39] <ejer> ComradeMirror: system>admin>language support (I think)
[22:39] <magnetron> iowahc: that's great.
[22:39] <root-----> how to run xlock (a comand/app that locks screen) automatically if it has not been runing for the last 30 mins?
[22:39] <iowahc> magnetron: how can I reactivate the old drivers?
[22:39] <ph0rensic> Scunizi, You get it working yet?? There may be a setting in compiz that says allow window decorations.. make sure thats checked
[22:40] <magnetron> iowahc: i don't know. maybe the channel knows, please ask.
[22:40] <ejer> root-----: system>prefs>screensaver in gnome can do this
[22:40] <Scunizi> ph0rensic, just did the terminal thing except when I close the terminal.. all window decorations go away .
[22:40] <root-----> ejer no. xlock is an app
[22:40] <patogen> prince_jammys: Sorry I'm not good enough to do that from that computer. But all have drwxr-xr-x owned by root, except home that is drwxrwxrwx owned by root
[22:40] <ArmedKing> Hello all maby a bit off topic. But i just got out of the hospital (whas in there for 3 days) because i had my first Epilepsie seisure. Now i heard i had to ajust my monitor freq but does it have to go lower or higher.
[22:40] <root-----> ejer xlockmore
[22:40] <ejer> i know what it is root-----
[22:40] <root-----> ejer locks screen
[22:40] <ejer> giving you a dif way of doing that
[22:40] <Scunizi> ph0rensic, yes ccms has "window decorations" checked.
[22:40] <root-----> ejer no i dont want idle thing. wana force it
[22:40] <iuri>  Hi everyone! how can i change the locale of my enviroment?
[22:40] <Darkmystere> Err, i network manager doesnt load on startup = me not being able to use internet in Ubuntu =( How can i fix this?
[22:40] <ejer> otherwise, look at cron root-----
[22:41] <ph0rensic> Scunizi, you did emerald --replace? thats good.. now hit ctrl-f2 and type emerald .. it wont open a window and emerald will stay running
[22:41] <patogen> prince_jammys: Oh and proc is dr-xr-xr-x owned by root
[22:41] <magnetron> ArmedKing: some CRT (not flat) screens tend to flicker at low frequencies
[22:41] <ComradeMirror> In synaptic where is the respository tab? x.x
[22:41] <Scunizi> ph0rensic, ctrl+F2 doesn't bring anything up.
[22:41] <iowahc> magnetron: thanks, something to go, i killed gnome-sound-pro because it used about a gig ram, now the cpu_usage of Xorg dropped to 70%
[22:41] <prince_jammys> patogen: and your home?   ie   /home/youruser?
[22:41] <ph0rensic> Scunizi, next time you boot, you shouldn't have to type it in, it will automatically load it for you
[22:41] <Darkmystere> Err, i network manager doesnt load on startup = me not being able to use internet in Ubuntu =( How can i fix this?
[22:41] <ArmedKing> magnetron, oke i have a 26" tft tho
[22:42] <iuri> i need to change the language of the shell prompt from deutch to english
[22:42] <iowahc> magnetron: can it be something with the sound driver? like Alsa?
[22:42] <IndyGunFreak> ComradeMirror: what are you tring to do?
[22:42] <Scunizi> ph0rensic, if I do a crtl-f2 emerald right?
[22:42] <Darkmystere> also iwconfig nor wifi-radar works for me neither kwifimanager :/...
[22:42] <patogen> prince_jammys: Owned by myself an drwxrwxrwx
[22:42] <bluefox83> ComradeMirror, settings->repositories
[22:42] <ArmedKing> magnetron, So if i understand correct higher is better
[22:42] <ph0rensic> Scunizi, Umm ok lemme think how else to bring it up.. yes type emerald
[22:42] <ComradeMirror> Im trying to do this
[22:42] <ComradeMirror> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Japanese_Input_and_Fonts_in_Ubuntu_7%2e10
[22:42] <Darkmystere> those others never worked specially not wifi-radar
[22:42] <ComradeMirror> Im Losttttt
[22:42] <Scunizi> ph0rensic, or should I just restart x?
[22:42] <ph0rensic> Scunizi, alt-f2
[22:42] <ejer> ComradeMirror: did you try what i said
[22:42] <Junaos> Hey, I am using an ATI Radeon X1650 card, and I can't seem to enable direct rendering of OpenGL.  Have followed BinaryHowTo/ATI, to no avail. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56796/ for all of the relevant pastes I can think of
[22:42] <ComradeMirror> How do I update my respository with "sudo apt-get update"
[22:42] <ph0rensic> Scunizi, its alt-f2 sorry
[22:42] <IndyGunFreak> ComradeMirror: well just follow the instructionss, it shows you right there how to add the erpo
[22:43] <IndyGunFreak> *repo
[22:43] <prince_jammys> patogen: sudo chmod 755 /home/youruser
[22:43] <derwik1> I'm trying to put in an sshfs entry into my fstab. I've got passwordless ssh setup, and the command runs fine by hand. When I mount -a, I get `read: Connection reset by peer`. When I turn on debug stuff, it looks like it's trying to login as root. In my fstab entry, I have it as: sshfs#aderewe@computer:/path
[22:43] <magnetron> ArmedKing: sometimes adding the horiz freq and vertical refresh rate to your xorg.conf can optimise your screen frequencies
[22:43] <ph0rensic> Scunizi, you could restart x also
[22:43] <ejer> derwik1: it is trying as root
[22:43] <ComradeMirror> "W: GPG error: http://archive.ubuntulinux.jp gutsy/ Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 058A05E90C4ECFEC
[22:43] <ComradeMirror> "
[22:43] <Scunizi> ph0rensic, got it.. :).. I'll restart x and see what happens.. if all fails I'll come back on irssi
[22:43] <ejer> derwik1: try sshfs user@ip
[22:43] <magnetron> !fixres > ArmedKing   (read private message from ubotu)
[22:43] <IndyGunFreak> ComradeMirror: well, you've got a GPG key missing for one of your repositories, not necessarily that one.
[22:43] <andrea6030> is it always this busy with all these questions?
[22:43] <ArmedKing> magnetron, Tnx a lot m8 apretiate it
[22:44] <magnetron> ArmedKing: np
[22:44] <ph0rensic> andrea6030, not at 3:30 in the morning!
[22:44] <IndyGunFreak> ComradeMirror: what other special repos havce you added to your sourcel ist?
[22:44] <sin|g_x|> hi i need libboost-python 1.3 support
[22:44] <sin|g_x|> but 1.4 is installed
[22:44] <ComradeMirror> Ah Indy
[22:44] <magnetron> ph0rensic: it's not 3:30 HERE
[22:44] <ComradeMirror> It says Im suppose to get an error
[22:44] <sin|g_x|> tried to force it with apt-get but no luch
[22:44] <IndyGunFreak> ok
[22:44] <patogen> prince_jammys: Done. I try to startx now with startx and it gives me "Hostname: unkown host and Fatal server error: Could not create lock file in /tmp/.tX0-lock giving up"
[22:44] <ph0rensic> magnetron, I know, but that is when it isn't busy
[22:44] <sin|g_x|> any1 else with this problem on gutsy
[22:44] <mrcheeks> I'll try a xfs_repair
[22:44] <Docfxit> Has anyone used Autocutsel ?¿
[22:44] <ComradeMirror> In the tutorial it says I add this "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-ja-keyring" somewhere
[22:45] <ComradeMirror> but it doesn't say
[22:45] <IndyGunFreak> ComradeMirror: ok.
[22:45] <prince_jammys>  patogen: ls -ld /tmp
[22:45] <bluefox83> ComradeMirror, in a terminal
[22:45] <IndyGunFreak> ComradeMirror: well, if you're reading the same instructions i am, run it right after sudo apt-get update
[22:45] <patrick_> hello there!
[22:45] <derwik1> ejer: It told me the line in fstab was bad when I omit the #
[22:45] <bartmon> How do i debug a bluetooth connection? I use it to transfer files from and to my phone but sometimes the connection just doesn't work...
[22:45] <patogen> prince_jammys: drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 date
[22:45] <ComradeMirror> ah
[22:46] <ComradeMirror> it started to update itself
[22:46] <ComradeMirror> without me having to do it
[22:46] <ComradeMirror> an icon appeared x.x
[22:46] <prince_jammys> patogen: ok hold on
[22:46] <ejer> derwik1: sshfs is a fuse application, meant to be run as a normal user
[22:46] <pretts> any ideas how can I converf filenames from a cd tha are probably writen with cp1253 encoding (greek) to utf8 ? the files are shown as ?????????
[22:46] <Scunizi> ph0rensic, working!  thanks.
[22:46] <patogen> prince_jammys: Ok, thank you very much. I do appreciate your help :)
[22:46] <derwik1> ejer: I know, but fstab gets run as root (doesn't it?)
[22:46] <fezick> what music player do experienced ubuntuvians prefer to use?
[22:46] <ph0rensic> Scunizi, no problemo ..
[22:46] <ejer> derwik1: yes
[22:46] <derwik1> ejer: at least, I need to be root to run `mount -a`
[22:46] <patrick_> i need some help with my pc, so i installed steam via wine, and it works... well, when i start a game (teamfortress2) it will show the startup vid and then return to the desktop (with a really fugly resolution)
[22:46] <ejer> derwik1: this is not mount, it is sshfs
[22:47] <bobdole102> My system is eating resources like candy. I've edited the startup processes to where only what I need loads at bootup, but my system still refuses to use ANY of my swapspace I've allotted it.   I used make uninstall to get rid of Amarok.
[22:47] <fezick> ejer: do you use the gnome or kde WM?
[22:47] <IndyGunFreak> bobdole102: what are your system specs?
[22:48] <prince_jammys> somebody's /tmp directory permissions are wrong.. they should be drwxrwxrwt  -- what is the "t" at the end and how to chmod?
[22:48] <ejer> fezick: both
[22:48] <derwik1> ejer: entering the command manually, yes, there is no problem. When it's an entry in fstab, it tries to authenticate as `root` instead of my use account
[22:48] <ejer> derwik1: http://www.debuntu.org/2006/04/27/39-mounting-a-fuse-filesystem-form-etcfstab
[22:48] <ComradeMirror> how do I Find my SUDO Password if I never had one?
[22:48] <ejer> derwik1: I know :)
[22:48] <bobdole102> IndyGunFreak: 2.8 Ghz celeron processor, 2 gigs ram, 300 gb hard drive
[22:48] <ComradeMirror> or is it my default password?
[22:48] <IndyGunFreak> !sudo | ComradeMirror
[22:48] <ubotu> ComradeMirror: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[22:49] <IndyGunFreak> ComradeMirror: its most likely your main user password.
[22:49] <ph0rensic> !root | ComradeMirror
[22:49] <ubotu> ComradeMirror: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[22:49] <Xbehave> !compiz seams to be breaking my suspend/ressume on intel drivers is there a fix?
[22:49] <blochsound> ComradeMirror: your sudo password is your main user password.
[22:49] <fezick> ejer: lol... i am loving amarok but im runnign it in gnome and i get funky errors at time pertaining to kde... i wish i had one handy to share, do you experience this in gnomoe too?
[22:49] <patrick_> i need some help with my pc, so i installed steam via wine, and it works... well, when i start a game (teamfortress2) it will show the startup vid and then return to the desktop (with a really fugly resolution)... when i enter glxgears in terminal it while show up some error message... got an ati radeon 850 i guess, anyone can help?
[22:49] <IndyGunFreak> bobdole102: there's something else werong, there's no reason at all that system should be accessing swap.
[22:49] <bartmon> prince_jammys: AFAIK the t mens that only thhe user who owns the folder can remove it
[22:49] <ejer> fezick: yep sometimes
[22:49] <iuri> hello! how to change messages from shell prompt
[22:49] <bobdole102> IndyGunFreak: Any clue as to how to track down what it might be?
[22:49] <patogen> prince_jammys: I don't know(?)
[22:49] <derwik1> ejer: thanks for the link, that's how I currently have it set up
[22:49] <afafaf> Is there a media server type where I can stream everything through a web browser?
[22:50] <fezick> ejer: sweet, thanks.
[22:50] <IndyGunFreak> bobdole102: not a clue.. sorry.
[22:50] <IndyGunFreak> bobdole102: are you running a lot of eyecandy?
[22:50] <bartmon> bobdole102: have you exeuted swapon?
[22:50] <prince_jammys> patogen: ok two things
[22:50] <derwik1> ejer: but it's still trying to login as root
[22:50] <prince_jammys> patogen: sudo chmod +t /tmp
[22:50] <sin|g_x|> anyone know how to work around repository unresolved dependency issue
[22:50] <ejer> derwik1: i think you sshould read up on fuse... the name alone explains your problem
[22:50] <IndyGunFreak> bartmon: there's no reason at all that system should ever access swap
[22:51] <derwik1> ejer: what do you mean, the name alone explains my problem?
[22:51] <bobdole102> Indy: Not running anything but gnome, and bartmon, not yet
[22:51] <ejer> derwik1: Filesystem in Userspace - userspace != root
[22:51] <derwik1> ejer: I know
[22:51] <IndyGunFreak> bobdole102: something else is wrong.
[22:51] <sin|g_x|> basically i have libboost-python-1.34, but need libboost-python-1.33 to get a program to work
[22:51] <derwik1> ejer: but when it's being run from /etc/fstab, it's being run as root
[22:51] <blochsound> sin|g : sudo apt-get build-dep
[22:51] <blochsound> plus package name
[22:51] <ejer> derwik1: this is why it is not working, it is not meant to be run from fstab
[22:51] <sin|g_x|> blochsound: ok ill give it a try
[22:51] <derwik1> ejer: in 2 different places I'm trying to specify the username to use, which is not root
[22:52] <derwik1> ejer: I've had it working from fstab before, flawlessly
[22:52] <derwik1> ejer: in fact, that link you sent me said it can be done from fstab
[22:52] <prince_jammys> patogen: then :::    sudo chmod g+w /tmp     and     sudo chmod o+w /tmp
[22:52] <ejer> derwik1: yes it can
[22:52] <bobdole102> Would bad ram cause somethink like that?
[22:52] <Flare183> I'm back
[22:52] <IndyGunFreak> bobdole102: *maybe*.. but i think its something else.. is this a new install or did it just start recently?
[22:53] <IndyGunFreak> on an old install
[22:53] <prince_jammys> patogen: at the end ,  do
[22:53] <prince_jammys> patogen: ls -dl /tmp and paste here

[22:53] <bobdole102> No, it's not new,but it's been doing thisfor as long as I can remember. I just found out that my friends PC with half the specs of mine smolders my comp
[22:53] <prince_jammys> patogen: good
[22:54] <IndyGunFreak> bobdole102: something is wrong, that PC should be able to run quite a bit of programs, and still not access swap.
[22:54] <ejer> derwik1: paste youfstab i will look
[22:54] <prince_jammys> patogen: try to login in again
[22:54] <bartmon> patrick_: do you have the ati proprietary driver installed?
[22:54] <bobdole102> IndyGunFreak: That's what I was thinking, but for the life of me I can't find out why
[22:54] <Junaos> Hey, I am using an ATI Radeon X1650 card, and I can't seem to enable direct rendering of OpenGL.  Have followed BinaryHowTo/ATI, to no avail. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56796/ for all of the relevant pastes I can think of

[22:56] <patogen> prince_jammys: Maybe it will be less pain to just backup my X-configuration and other stuff and do a reinstall?
[22:56] <patrick_> bartmon: yeah as i said, when i enter glxgears it will show some error
[22:56] <prince_jammys> patogen: depends on whether those permissions were changed, hold on
[22:57] <Junaos> bartmon - I'm there right now.  Have done all that, It's the same things that are in binaryhowto/ATI.
[22:57] <iositd> Jangari: no, his pc has a problem with the drivers. GLXgears won't start because of an error. Steam and wine run fine, untill it hits the gfx part

[22:58] <iositd> sorry, was meant for ejer
[22:58] <Jangari> np
[22:58] <bartmon> Junaos: Oh, sorry then. I use that guide quite often but in the end I just started using the driver which the restr. manager installs.
[22:58] <bobdole102> IndyGunFreak: I found one problem. It's opening kiohttp's like crazy and they're zapping around 20000 kbs each
[22:58] <IndyGunFreak> kiohttp?
[22:58] <IndyGunFreak> do you have some sort of torrent/fileshare program that runs when you start up?
[22:59] <bartmon> patrick_: Is there any text that describes the error?
[22:59] <ejer> derwik1: sshfs#myuser@myhost:/home/myuser    /mnt    fuse    defaults 0 0 <- this works for me
[22:59] <Junaos> bartmon - That's the driver I'm using. I'm seriously about to try the ones from ATI, though I've heard those are even buggier.

[23:00] <prince_jammys> patogen: ls -l /vmlinuz
[23:00] <derwik1> ejer: When I try that, it prompts for a password. That's why BatchMode=yes is on there, to suppress that since I'm authenticating with keys
[23:00] <Darkmystere> Can some one please help me get networking working in Ubuntu....?
[23:01] <needhelp> Jangari: yes it is connected to usb. I do see a line with Hewlett-Packard, but I'm not sure if that is the camera or the printer. But the printer is turned off and the camera is turned on.
[23:01] <patogen> prince_jammys: I have the kernels and stuff stored in /boot ... and vmlinuz26 is -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root

[23:02] <Lifeisfunny> I got a video update yesterday and now my totem players shows a pink screen
[23:02] <patrick_> bartmon: im not sure, not the ati ones, removed them with some tutorial i found that said it would speed my desktop up, how to check my drivers
[23:02] <pax_tecum> how do you use the tv tuner in ubuntu
[23:02] <prince_jammys> patogen: i don't know what the last error relates to, and what permissions to change.. who owns the hidden files in your home?
[23:03] <Lifeisfunny> players is plural because it also happens through the helper extension w/in Firefox
[23:03] <prince_jammys> patogen: ls -l /home/youruser --- who owns them?
[23:03] <henri> hi guys! I can't get my CD drive to eject; there's nothing in it but the OS just won't release it! Is there a way i can make it open?
[23:03] <pax_tecum> help, tv tuner and linux
[23:03] <ejer> derwik1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=430312 and again, all this is because this tool is meant to be run as a user, can you not just run the commands when a user logs in?
[23:03] <CVD-PR> how to make shortcuts like in windows?
[23:03] <pax_tecum> help, tv tuner and linux
[23:04] <derwik1> ejer: I guess the thing that I'm stuck on is... I've had this working before. So it ought to work again.
[23:04] <IndyGunFreak> pax_tecum: well given your complete and thorough explanation of your problem, i'm sure you'll get lots of answers
[23:04] <ejer> henri: you could try sudo eject
[23:04] <WelshDragon> Hi, whenever i try to play HD movies my CPU usage goes up to 100% and the video freezes all together, Any idea why and how to fix?
[23:04] <iositd> henri: are you running the live edition?
[23:04] <ejer> derwik1: it can be made to work, but it is a huge collection of hacks for no reason
[23:04] <bartmon> patrick_: Well if you want to use 3D acceleration which your grpahics card can provide you should use the manufacturer's drivers
[23:04] <henri> ejer: Thanks, no joy :(
[23:04] <pax_tecum> I have a tv tuner buildin in my computer, how do I use it in ubuntu
[23:04] <henri> iositd: nope, i've been running gutsy for a good while
[23:04] <sin|g_x|> blochsound:  Unable to find a source package for libboost.*1.33.1
[23:04] <patrick_> bartmon: well how to install them?
[23:04] <SpacePilot> This blows. Just fixed my sound, and now what? It just stopped working again.
[23:04] <patogen> prince_jammys: I'm very grateful for the help, but I think I'll just backup the config files I need and set the alarm clock early tomorrow so I can get it up and running. That will surely work
[23:05] <henri> i could probably fix it by rebooting but thought i'd ask as to a better solution
[23:05] <vilefridge> help!  I just installed 7.10, but it won't boot.  So I go into Recovery mode (want to try to reconfigure X) but all I get is a BusyBox initramfs prompt.  No command prompt?  How can I recover from this?
[23:05] <needhelp> so why won't the comp find the digicam ?
[23:05] <asdrubal> pax_tecum, apt-get install tvtime
[23:05] <luisgmarine_> prince_jammys: hey, I can still uset the 120 GB on the HDD, right?  It wont take space from the one the mount dir is on right?
[23:05] <sin|g_x|> i tried a bunch of commands no luck for gutsy and the old libboost 1.33.1
[23:05] <ejer> henri: no errors?
[23:05] <bartmon> patrick_: I'd say the friendliest way is through the System>Administration>Restricted Drivers Manager
[23:05] <patogen> prince_jammys: I'm extremly grateful for the help you've given me however. I salute you
[23:05] <prince_jammys> patogen: try ::  sudo chown -R yourusername /home/youruser   and login again
[23:05] <Mr_Awesome> i just tried to boot ubuntu, but instead of starting the desktop environment, it goes to a cli screen that hangs at the step "* Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc/local)  [OK]"
[23:05] <pax_tecum> tvtime will work, it's not as complicated as mythtv right?
[23:05] <WelshDragon> Hi, whenever i try to play HD movies my CPU usage goes up to 100% and the video freezes all together, Any idea why and how to fix?
[23:05] <prince_jammys> patogen: yw,   but that last one might do it
[23:05] <IndyGunFreak> pax_tecum: thats correct
[23:06] <patogen> prince_jammys: Same error
[23:06] <prince_jammys> patogen: argh
[23:06] <prince_jammys> patogen: ok good luck, i'll probably run into you here
[23:06] <patrick_> bartmon: uhm i cant find a restricted drivers managers there
[23:06] <patogen> prince_jammys: Well as I said, I'm extremly grateful for the help :)
[23:06] <rhineheart_m> I tested my postfix...(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto) when I checked the mail...it didn't arrive. Any response?
[23:06] <henri> ejer: No, i also tried eject cdrom and eject /dev/cdrom (sudo ofc)
[23:06] <asdrubal> pax_tecum, yeah
[23:07] <patogen> prince_jammys: By the way if your nick is "taken" from the artist prince jammy I can tell you that you probably have good taste for music aswell :)
[23:07] <asdrubal> pax_tecum, it just watches tv.. not records
[23:07] <prince_jammys> patogen: sudo chgrp -R yourusername /home/youruser
[23:07] <ejer> henri: is it trying to read a disk atm
[23:07] <patrick_> bartmon: found it!
[23:07] <prince_jammys> patogen: it is
[23:07] <prince_jammys> patogen: try the above
[23:07] <asdrubal> pax_tecum, also, tvtime is the best looking tv watcher program in linux.
[23:07] <nouMenon> I have two problems, the more important of the two is with Deluge torrent, the less important of the two is being unable to fully delete Wine. Can anyone help with either?
[23:07] <asdrubal> pax_tecum, it deinterlaces properly... looks as good as the best TV sets.
[23:07] <pax_tecum> it seems not recognizing my tv tuner
[23:07] <patogen> prince_jammys: "invalid group"
[23:07] <Slart> nouMenon: fully delete wine? "sudo apt-get remove --purge wine" and then delete the .wine folder in your home folder
[23:08] <asdrubal> pax_tecum, what tv card do you have
[23:08] <patogen> is the yourusername supposed to be the group?
[23:08] <prince_jammys> patogen: wow
[23:08] <patrick_> bartmon: okay activated the ati driver, gonna reboot now, ty!
[23:08] <pax_tecum> I don't know
[23:08] <ejer> patogen: chown youruser:youruser /home/youruser -R
[23:08] <pax_tecum> it came with hp m8120n
[23:08] <Lifeisfunny> never mind, I'll try something on my own.
[23:08] <asdrubal> pax_tecum, type dmesg in a terminal windows and look for any messages regarding tv card, then report back
[23:08] <nouMenon> slart should I also autoremove after --purge?
[23:09] <henri> ejer: the drive light's not on
[23:09] <Slart> nouMenon: nah.. shouldn't be necessary... wine is gone no matter what
[23:09] <henri> how could i check otherwise?
[23:09] <acee1234> i ran the ubuntu live cd and got internet just fine then intalled ubuntu after which internet connection was lost any ideas?
[23:09] <ejer> henri: type dmesg and see if any errors there
[23:09] <nouMenon> Slart how do I find .wine in my home folder? Aren't .folders hidden? If not, I already deleted it.
[23:09] <patogen> Well thank you all for the help. Got to sleep now ... bye bye
[23:10] <Slart> nouMenon: ls -a .w*
[23:10] <rhineheart_m> Hello. I have this problem--I tested my postfix...(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto) when I checked the mail...it didn't arrive. Why do you think?
[23:10] <henri> ejer: The last dmesg entry is 'mounting UDF Volume' - which is the windows install cd i read before this started happening
[23:10] <Slart> nouMenon: why did you want wine gone?
[23:10] <jeffMASTERflex> nouMenon: just hit ctrl + h in nautilus to show hidden files and folders
[23:10] <TurtleOfDoom> acee1234: do you know how to use a console?
[23:10] <ejer> henri: if you can, I would just reboot
[23:10] <jeffMASTERflex> ls -a in a terminal works also
[23:10] <henri> ejer: ok, cheers :)
[23:10] <acee1234> TurtleOfDoom: yes
[23:10] <nouMenon> Slart I tried running a poker program on there a long time ago and none of the calculators would work, so I gave up and tried to delete it.
[23:10] <asdrubal> pax_tecum, also, type lspci and see if your tv card is there
[23:10] <pax_tecum> asdrubal: I couldn't see the word tv tuner
[23:11] <TurtleOfDoom> ifconfig
[23:11] <Jangari> !hardy
[23:11] <ubotu> Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[23:11] <TurtleOfDoom> and pastebin what it says
[23:11] <Slart> nouMenon: ah.. for that you only had to remove the .wine folder and perhaps do a wineprefixcreate
[23:11] <asdrubal> pax_tecum, Here's what my lspci says: 05:02.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder (rev 05)
[23:11] <acee1234> TurtleOfDoom: cant pastbin no internet connection on that comp
[23:11] <nouMenon> Slart: is what you had me do just as good?
[23:11] <Mr_Awesome> i just tried to boot ubuntu, but instead of starting the desktop environment, it goes to a cli screen that hangs at the step "* Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)  [OK]"
[23:12] <iositd> aight i got a quick question but i don't require an immediate solution: using standard wifi drivers on a sitecom usb2 54g+ stick ... however the range of it is considerably less then using windows

[23:12] <acee1234> TurtleOfDoom: will x-fer to thumb drive
[23:12] <nouMenon> Slart: when I run apt-get update it still updates wine files i.e. wine.budgetdedicated.com
[23:12] <asdrubal> pax_tecum, try thest two commands: dmesg|grep -i conex    and dmesg|grep -i bt8
[23:12] <pipegeek> so, I just noticed that, when I import certain packages in python, I'm now getting "RuntimeWarning: Python C API version mismatch for module <module name>"
[23:12] <pax_tecum> ok mine is like this PCI Conexant  CX23418 Single-Chip MPEG-2 Encoder with Integrated Analog Video/Broadcast Audio Decoder
[23:12] <Slart> nouMenon: what you did with the "sudo apt-get remove... " things was to remove the application wine.. deleting the .wine folder removes the stuff you installed using wine.. think of it as an application and the documents you create with the application
[23:13] <asdrubal> pax_tecum, any other connexant?
[23:13] <julle> Is it possible to create a LiveCD or a ghost disc of your current Ubuntu system and setup?
[23:13] <asdrubal> pax_tecum, ok you have a dvb device
[23:13] <pax_tecum> this is the only one
[23:13] <nouMenon> Slart: I wanted to delete everything related to wine, so that's good. Thank you.
[23:13] <pax_tecum> no dvd device
[23:13] <Mr_Awesome> is there any way to manually start the desktop?
[23:13] <asdrubal> pax_tecum, try too google for "Linux CX23418 dvb"
[23:13] <ejer> julle: this is pretty good http://www.mondorescue.org/
[23:13] <Slart> nouMenon: yes.. it doesn't know what's in a repos until it checks... so it updates it lists.. doesn't matter.. doesn't mean wine is still installed
[23:13] <asdrubal> pax_tecum, dvB not dvD
[23:14] <TurtleOfDoom> acee1234: just tell me what ifconfig | grep "inet addr" give you
[23:14] <Slart> nouMenon: you're welcome
