[09:15] <dthorenj> that takes way too long
[09:16] <Senderbasic> StoneNote, ok. but these steps are long any shouldnt be needed (if youre efficient enough)

[09:16] <dthorenj> diugdhigh
[09:16] <bestadvocate> hello
[09:16] <mwe> prem: type hostname in a terminal and see if it's correct now
[09:16] <prem> mwe:getting it!!
[09:16] <mwe> prem: good ;)
[09:16] <Gartral> ok, i updated my system... and now everything that used gksudo is trying to use root instead, has anyone run into this before in dapper drake?
[09:16] <dthorenj> is that why sometimes, games wont show up and/or load at all?
[09:16] <dthorenj> because of this automatix2?
[09:16] <bestadvocate> Could someone point me in the right dirrection on how to get a better keybord driver? I'm trying to learn emacs and one of my Alt Keys isnt working.
[09:17] <prem> mwe:thanks man hope it stays like this!
[09:17] <kobzan> hi
[09:17] <lasse_> sparr: You got any more tips?
[09:17] <mwe> prem: you may have to log out and back in and/or restart gdm or just reboot for everything to see. It does stay now
[09:17] <Senderbasic> tehxed: got "wireless-tools" ?
[09:17] <Tonren> Can someone tell me why this /etc/network/interfaces file hangs on bootup?  Why does this fail, but manually typing iwconfig wlan0 essid any and iwconfig wlan0 ap any work?
[09:17] <Tonren> http://pastie.caboo.se/42521
[09:17] <dthorenj> ????
[09:17] <Xanatus> tehxed look at the messages i just sent you
[09:17] <Senderbasic> tehxed: run  'iwconfig'
[09:17] <Tonren> Err, I know there's no "auto wlan0" by the way, it should be there
[09:17] <sparr> lasse_: i got nothin, sorry  :(
[09:17] <grndslm> soundray:  ok, so it says that primary partitions 1-4 are unused....i did not mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdd1, it was just /dev/hdd...that's still acceptable, right?
[09:18] <Gartral> ok, i updated my system... and now everything that used gksudo is trying to use root instead, has anyone run into this before in dapper drake?
[09:18] <Xanatus> i just told him to do that
[09:18] <sparr> lasse_: youre sure you installed the driver AND the kernel module?
[09:18] <Senderbasic> tehxed: got that iwconfig command ?
[09:18] <Xanatus> i need the outputs
[09:18] <dthorenj> ?????
[09:18] <Xanatus> for ifconfig, ifconfig -a, and iwconfig
[09:18] <soundray> grndslm: 1) fixing your partition table is anything but trivial. 2) this isn't Linux related: the partition table is a leftover from DOS days. 3) wrecking it can happen to any system that gets into an uncontrolled state like yours
[09:18] <Xanatus> tehxed
[09:18] <mmainzer> hallo
[09:18] <Junkfer> compaq ml370 server with 2x9,1 GB disk in raid0 after a full reinstall not bootind, i have only a blinking cursor
[09:18] <grndslm> bestadvocate:  i'm with you, i'd really like my right alt key to work like my left one!
[09:18] <lesshaste> do any of the ubuntu install iso's support the wireless ath_pci driver?
[09:18] <Junkfer> any1 to help?
[09:19] <cosmmin> hi, how i can login as root in ubuntu?
[09:19] <soundray> grndslm: hold on -- you formatted the entire harddisk with mkfs.ext3? You didn't partition it?
[09:19] <tehxed> Xanatus, ?
[09:19] <tehxed> Senderbasic, where do i post the outputs?
[09:19] <mwe> lesshaste: not out of the box I think
[09:19] <Xanatus> check the messages i sent you
[09:19] <Xanatus> on priv
[09:19] <lasse_> sparr: hmm. I dunno. What packages are they?
[09:19] <lesshaste> mwe: ah.. so I can't install over wireless :(
[09:19] <cosmmin> soundray, i fix at last the sound! and work perfectly!
[09:19] <grndslm> soundray:  yup, i don't remember using fdisk at all now that i think about it
[09:19] <Senderbasic> tehxed: No, public 3 lines max
[09:19] <mwe> lesshaste: I think you need the restricte modules
[09:19] <grndslm> i figured since i had already done fdisk before it wasn't necessary again
[09:19] <mwe> lesshaste: No I couldn't either
[09:19] <lesshaste> mwe: is madwifi restricted?
[09:19] <tehxed> Xanatus, i sent you the response
[09:19] <lesshaste> mwe: what laptop do you have?
[09:19] <soundray> cosmmin: well done... I must admit I can't remember helping you, sorry
[09:19] <mwe> lesshaste: plugged in a cable while installing
[09:19] <Xanatus> are you sure you sent it to me ?
[09:19] <Xanatus> lol
[09:19] <Pici> Tonren: Try it without the wireless-ap, just the wireless-essid
[09:20] <mwe> lesshaste: ibm X40
[09:20] <Xanatus> cuz i didn
[09:20] <soundray> grndslm: arrgh.
[09:20] <Xanatus> t get it
[09:20] <soundray> grndslm: forget about gpart then
[09:20] <lesshaste> mwe: ok..   Jus tcurious
[09:20] <mwe> lesshaste: IMHO madwifi sucks, though. disconnecting all the time. I went with ndiswrapper instead
[09:20] <bestadvocate> grndslm: unfortunately I have no idea where to start with driver replacements.
[09:20] <lesshaste> mwe: does the minimal install iso do partitioning for you too?
[09:20] <cosmmin> HOW i can login as root in ubuntu?
[09:20] <mwe> lesshaste: if you tell it to
[09:20] <Pici> Tonren: I dont know.  I just compared your interfaces file to mine.
[09:20] <lesshaste> Senderbasic: ok
[09:20] <Xanatus> ok, tehxed do you have msn or yahoo or something ?
[09:20] <mwe> lesshaste: it asks you
[09:20] <lesshaste> mwe: ok.. it didn't get to that point obviously then
[09:20] <bestadvocate> cosmmin: you need to create a root acount
[09:20] <Senderbasic> mwe, lesshaste: madwifi was stable for me
[09:21] <lyam> is it possible somehow to force apt-get to use ssl?
[09:21] <Gartral> !root cosmmin
[09:21] <mwe> Senderbasic: it is for some. using wpa2?
[09:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about root cosmmin - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:21] <tehxed> Xanatus, did you get that?
[09:21] <tehxed> Xanatus, msn
[09:21] <tehxed> Xanatus, or aim?
[09:21] <lesshaste> Senderbasic: ok thanks.  Just installing is my first challenge... wireless seems to be out for the moment
[09:21] <Gartral> !root/cosmmin
[09:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about root/cosmmin - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:21] <Tonren> Pici: Weird.  Also, the other thing that drives me crazy is that if there *ISN'T* an available wireless access point, it hangs for FIVE MINUTES trying to connect to one.  How can I set a shorter time-out on boot?  Even worse is if you try to do auto wlan0 eth0, in which case it'll hang searching for a wired connection and THEN hang searching for wireless.  It's awful.  Do you know what to do about that?
[09:21] <Xanatus> tehxed you choose i have them all
[09:21] <Gartral> !root
[09:21] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:21] <cosmmin> WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! bestadvocate are you joking me?! first time this is happen or i hear it :-p
[09:21] <soibewoners> salam
[09:21] <tehxed> Xanatus, is this your aim?
[09:21] <Senderbasic> mwe, lesshaste: i compiled the latest code and insmodded it then configured the iwconfig and started the interfaces
[09:22] <soundray> cosmmin: I remember now. How did you fix it?
[09:22] <ompaul> cosmmin, so use ehhhh sudo
[09:22] <mwe> Senderbasic: using wpa2?
[09:22] <Xanatus> tehxed yeah but i usually don't use this one, add gigaxanatus
[09:22] <bestadvocate> cosmmin:its a security feature.  caused a lot of contriversy back in the days of Warty.
[09:22] <enTity> you can run a root terminal with su i think
[09:22] <cosmmin> wait a minute to check it :-p
[09:22] <Senderbasic> lesshaste: Np, the problem is mostly "do i have a prism or a madwifi".. madwifi is netgear and others Prism are not
[09:22] <enTity> but you may need to actually create a password for the root account i think
[09:22] <mwe> Senderbasic: I compiled from source. svn and latest it disconnects a few times an hour. reconnects fast, though. but hoses downloads and stuff
[09:23] <cosmmin> ok it works! only i have to renew a pass :-p
[09:23] <cosmmin> THX!
[09:23] <enTity> :D
[09:23] <enn> Hello ... What do I need to do to get normal unix manpages for things like select(2) and fork(2)?
[09:23] <mwe> Senderbasic: I wonder if it's related to wpa2
[09:23] <Senderbasic> mwe: get the latest stable, not svn/git/cvs
[09:23] <mwe> Senderbasic: I tried that one too
[09:23] <Senderbasic> if it has support its more stable generally
[09:23] <soundray> !manpages-dev | enn
[09:23] <ubotu> enn: manpages-dev: Manual pages about using GNU/Linux for development. In component main, is optional. Version 2.34-1 (edgy), package size 1183 kB, installed size 2908 kB
[09:24] <prem> mwe:dude whn i restarted the syetem..hostname came back to none!
[09:24] <Senderbasic> unloaded the first one with rmmod (-f or force)..
[09:24] <mwe> I tried a lot. It doesn't like my wpa/card and/or AP
[09:24] <mwe> prem: huh
[09:24] <enn> soundray: thank you
[09:24] <mwe> prem: is /etc/hosts changed?
[09:24] <bestadvocate> whelp I'm off to try and google my problems away, I'm sure I'll be back.
[09:25] <Senderbasic> mwe, they arent perfectly stable, i tried one that was impossible to unload, forcing was the only thing that worked
[09:25] <prem> mwe:nope
[09:25] <XAMCTBO> hello i need litle help with installing xml2
[09:25] <mwe> prem: hmm. what's the contents of /etc/hostname?
[09:25] <XAMCTBO> configure: error: xml2-config not found. Please check your libxml2 installation.
[09:25] <XAMCTBO> ERROR: `/tmp/tmpmaCAaB/xmlwriter-2.0.4/configure' failed
[09:25] <XAMCTBO> i have this error
[09:25] <XAMCTBO> :(
[09:26] <mwe> !paste | XAMCTBO
[09:26] <ubotu> XAMCTBO: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[09:26] <arrenlex> XAMCTBO: apt-get install libxml2-dev
[09:26] <mwe> prem: ?
[09:26] <Senderbasic> mwe: its not a problem, try and you shall succeed. Is it a very new card btw ?
[09:26] <grndslm> soundray:  so, what is it that i need to do now?
[09:26] <Senderbasic> mwe: brb, private the answer if you will
[09:26] <soundray> XAMCTBO: install xml2 from the repositories. Don't compile it yourself
[09:27] <arrenlex> I have three\four computers lying around and was wondering if it was possible to make a cluster out of them. Does the extra processing power of three machines exceed the network connection slowdown? How would I make a cluster out of them?
[09:27] <mwe> Senderbasic: I tried all versions. I gave up. ndiswrapper is working fine. thanks anyway
[09:27] <prem> mwe:check this http://paste.biz/paste-703.html
[09:27] <soundray> grndslm: let's go back to your /dev/hdc -- try 'sudo mount /dev/hdc3 /mnt' and see if it throws any errors.
[09:28] <mwe> prem: that's /etc/hosts or /etc/hostname ?
[09:28] <bigjohntoday> hello
[09:28] <soundray> !hi
[09:28] <StoneNote> prem open a terminal. enter >> sudo network-admin << without the >> <<.  Click on the "General" tab when the app opens. change your hostname.  Click "Close". Click "Change Hostname".
[09:28] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[09:28] <bigjohntoday> I have a question I hope i can get a little bit of help with
[09:28] <soundray> !ask
[09:28] <bigjohntoday> I have been going at this for a couple of days now
[09:28] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:28] <bigjohntoday> lol
[09:28] <bigjohntoday> ok
[09:28] <iulian_> have a question: if I install a cvs server, will I be able to interact (commit, update) from a windows machine?
[09:28] <bigjohntoday> how in the world do I install ubuntu with DVI graphics support
[09:28] <bigjohntoday> using matrox mel G550
[09:28] <mwe> prem: following sevaral directions might confuse the system
[09:29] <bigjohntoday> i get it to show ubuntu progress bar
[09:29] <soundray> bigjohntoday: it has DVI graphics support by default
[09:29] <Kyral> iulian_: Assuming the Windows machine has a CVS client
[09:29] <bigjohntoday> but it just gives up because it cannot load the next screen (doesn't display anything)
[09:29] <soundray> bigjohntoday: you may have to boot in Safe Graphics mode
[09:29] <bigjohntoday> tried
[09:29] <mwe> prem: ?
[09:29] <bigjohntoday> also nothing
[09:29] <prem> mwe:i did it
[09:29] <mwe> !enter | big
[09:29] <ubotu> big: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[09:29] <bigjohntoday> but i will attempt again to try in safe graphics mode
[09:29] <mwe> prem: that's /etc/hosts or /etc/hostname ?
[09:29] <mwe> prem: did what?
[09:29] <soundray> bigjohntoday: in that case, you may have to download and install with the alternate CD
[09:30] <soundray> !alternate | bigjohntoday
[09:30] <ubotu> bigjohntoday: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[09:30] <prem> went to network admin and gave hostname
[09:30] <mwe> prem: I didn't suggest that
[09:30] <mwe> prem: tell me the contents of /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts now
[09:31] <iulian_> Kyral: So I have to install a cvs client on Win. What should I use on linux and what on win?
[09:31] <mwe> prem: following sevaral directions might confuse the system
[09:31] <bigjohntoday> ok I will attempt both since I have all the various CD's, trying safe graphcis mode now and then I will attempt to use the alternate CD for ubuntu 6.10 then I will get back to you guys on what I may need to do:)
[09:31] <soundray> arrenlex: it depends wholly on how much interprocess communication you need on your cluster. That, in turn, depends on the type of application you are going to run
[09:31] <Kyral> iulian_: For a client? CVS
[09:31] <fiXXXerMet> Is the apache2 package chrooted by default/
[09:31] <fiXXXerMet> ?
[09:31] <Enselic``> Why oh why does this fail?    sudo echo -e '#!/bin/bash\napt-cache show $*\n' > /usr/local/bin/acshow   it says "bash: /usr/local/bin/acshow: Permission denied
[09:31] <Kyral> iulian_: I dunno I have never setup a CVS server
[09:31] <soundray> bigjohntoday: in principle, your card should be supported by the mga driver.
[09:31] <Senderbasic> fiXXXerMet, no
[09:32] <fiXXXerMet> thanks
[09:32] <Senderbasic> fiXXXerMet, yes
[09:32] <sharms> iulian_: #1. CVS sucks, try to use BZR or svn instead.  #2. on windows, try tortoise CVS
[09:32] <Senderbasic> :)
[09:32] <arrenlex> soundray: Things like compiling, compressing, I guess.
[09:32] <Senderbasic> fiXXXerMet, its semi
[09:32] <jrib> Enselic``: because the redirection is done by the shell you are running, which only has your user permissions.  pipe to 'tee' instead
[09:32] <fiXXXerMet> Semi?  How so?
[09:32] <mwe> fiXXXerMet: it only servers /var/www by default I think
[09:32] <mwe> serves
[09:32] <Enselic``> jrib: ah, thanks
[09:32] <jrib> Enselic``: example:  echo foo | sudo tee /var/bar
[09:32] <fiXXXerMet> What if it needs to access some files outside of that directory with suexec?
[09:32] <soundray> Enselic``: because the shell that you run the sudo in is responsible for the redirection
[09:32] <soundray> oops, too slow
[09:33] <Senderbasic> fiXXXerMet, its not really chrooted as in it needs it own environment, it can still utilize outside files but very few
[09:33] <Enselic``> soundray: thank you too :)
[09:33] <mwe> fiXXXerMet: if you want to serve other files add the locations to the config or create symlinks
[09:33] <Senderbasic> fiXXXerMet, have the latest and youll be ok
[09:33] <Senderbasic> now, move along! :)
[09:33] <bigjohntoday> soudray: the only problem is that I can not even get through the basic splash page... it just goes through the progress bar for a few seconds and then fails..... the error I get if it helps would be /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off.....  and I get that error when i remove quiet splash and place break=bottom instead
[09:33] <fiXXXerMet> Hmmm
[09:33] <iulian_> sharms: I have a linux server and commit/update from a win machine
[09:34] <prem> mwe:in hosts this is wht i have http://paste.biz/paste-704.html
[09:34] <mwe> prem: are you going to tell me the contents of /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname? ;)
[09:34] <jrib> sparr: probably need to check dmesg or check 'mount' output for the /dev/foobar corresponding to the mount point for your camera.  Also, I think you might be able to look into how 'pmount' works.  That's what actually mounts the stuff in edgy I think
[09:34] <sparr> jrib: its not a usb storage device
[09:34] <sharms> iulian_: ... and?
[09:34] <bigjohntoday> basically having an issue with /dev/console
[09:34] <mwe> prem: that's good. a lot of blank lines, though. shouldn't hurt. /etc/hostname?
[09:34] <prem> mwe:in hostname i have premkumar15
[09:35] <grndslm> damm soundray, i feel like a dumass...the reason gdm was saying it couldn't read my home directory is because i was logging in as root
[09:35] <grndslm> i'm guessing
[09:35] <mwe> prem: If it doesn't stay now I would be very surprised
[09:35] <prem> mwe:in hostname i have premkumar1
[09:35] <iulian_> sharms: ...and I can use turtoise as a client for a linux server?
[09:35] <prem> typo mwe:in hostname i have premkumar1
[09:35] <jrib> sparr: but gnome-volume-manager still handles the automounting right?
[09:35] <sharms> iulian_: exactly!
[09:35] <prem> mwe:in hostname i have premkumar14
[09:35] <mwe> preaction: premkumar1?
[09:35] <sparr> jrib: i dont use gnome.  if i did, i doubt it would.
[09:35] <grndslm> soundray:  so, i should just try fdisking the backup drive now and rsyncing?
[09:35] <jrib> sparr: what do you use?
[09:35] <mwe> preaction: or 15 or 14 or what
[09:36] <mwe> prem ^^
[09:36] <preaction> i'm preaction, he's prem :(
[09:36] <mwe> prem: that was for you
[09:36] <soundray> bigjohntoday: I see, so the problem is before X even tries to load...
[09:36] <prem> mwe:14
[09:36] <bigjohntoday> yes
[09:36] <XAMCTBO> sh: make: command not found
[09:36] <mwe> preaction: yeah sorry. I was too quick with the completion
[09:36] <sparr> jrib: kde
[09:36] <XAMCTBO> how to fix this ? sh: make: command not found
[09:36] <mwe> prem: so only premkumar14 as in /etc/hosts?
[09:36] <prem> mwe:shall i restart>:
[09:36] <Senderbasic> fiXXXerMet: in a real chroot youll build up everything needed to support a process'es need to calculate, like /dev/console, /dev/ram, /user/lib/... and some other files, youll learn alot buy setting up a chroot which you can chroot into
[09:36] <sparr> XAMCTBO: install make?
[09:36] <bigjohntoday> soundray: yes
[09:36] <soundray> grndslm: if you partition the drive, you'll have to format it, too. Then you can rsync to backup. Yes, that's what I would do
[09:37] <prem> mwe:yep
[09:37] <XAMCTBO> sparr yes
[09:37] <mwe> prem: If it doesn't stay now I would be very surprised
[09:37] <nolo> I'm a total n00b to a command line. I've only known GUI. Where do I learn Ubuntu terminal shell commands? please give me a link so I can start learning :)
[09:37] <lucas_> hy, has  any one updated feisty to xorg 7.2 ?
[09:37] <prem> mwe:shall i restart>:
[09:37] <XAMCTBO> sparr ERROR: `make' failed
[09:37] <XAMCTBO> next error
[09:37] <soundray> bigjohntoday: I'm not sure if that would help, but you could try using a framebuffer console -- let me look something up...
[09:37] <Senderbasic> nolo: need to know how to "cd".. google "linux cd" :)
[09:38] <lucas_> any feisty users  ?
[09:38] <prem> mwe:shall i restart??
[09:38] <sharms> lucas_: #ubuntu+1
[09:38] <nolo> Senderbasic, ty
[09:38] <lucas_> sharms thx
[09:38] <Senderbasic> nolo: also learn 'ls', 'pwd', 'gcc', 'mv', 'mkdir' and other stuff
[09:39] <Senderbasic> Np
[09:39] <acemics> nolo>http://www.ss64.com/bash/
[09:39] <sharms> nolo: to learn shell comands, open a shell and hit "Tab" a bunch

[09:39] <sharms> nolo: when you find one with an interesting name, do "man command"
[09:39] <Skrezium> Hi guys! Did you ever tried PHLAK? What do you think about it?
[09:40] <soundray> !cli | nolo
[09:40] <ubotu> nolo: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[09:40] <bigjohntoday> well  i will give it a read right now
[09:40] <mwe> or install a deacent terminal emulator ;)
[09:41] <XAMCTBO> how to fix this ? sh: make: command not found
[09:41] <Senderbasic> ls `/{bin,usr/bin,/usr/sbin}` | exec man '{}' \ ? :)
[09:41] <Senderbasic> dont run that, doesnt work most likely
[09:41] <arrenlex> !compile | XAMCTBO
[09:41] <ubotu> XAMCTBO: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[09:41] <Senderbasic> arrenlex: whats thatxamctbo ?
[09:42] <Skrezium> so? anyone evere tried PHLAK distro?

[09:42] <Senderbasic> ah, i see
[09:42] <grndslm> alright soundray, thank you too much for the help man...sorry i'm wetawded sometimes
[09:42] <soundray> XAMCTBO: please don't ask questions here if you're not prepared to listen to the replies.
[09:42] <XAMCTBO> Senderbasic lammer in linux
[09:42] <XAMCTBO> ok thx
[09:42] <XAMCTBO> will know
[09:42] <Senderbasic> lammer ?
[09:43] <tehxed> whoa
[09:43] <nolo> ty ppls! :)
[09:43] <Senderbasic> whats this 'lammer' ?
[09:43] <prem> mwe:thanks man hostname didn't change after restart!!
[09:44] <StoneNote> XAMCTBO, if you go to the link they gave you, the first instruction is sudo apt-get install build-essential and you're going to feel foolish if that's all you need to do
[09:44] <Senderbasic> !compile | XAMCTBO ?lammer?
[09:44] <ubotu> XAMCTBO ?lammer?: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[09:44] <soundray> grndslm: you're okay now by the sounds of it. Make sure you allocate enough swap to avoid out-of-memory conditions.
[09:44] <SamePaul> Senderbasic: derivative from "lame". XAMCTBO is not good in grammar
[09:44] <arrenlex> Senderbasic: What are you doing?
[09:44] <Senderbasic> lammer is lame, misspelling
[09:44] <Senderbasic> arrenlex ?
[09:44] <soundray> Senderbasic: and I think he wasn't referring to you, but to himself
[09:45] <prem> mwe:thanks a ton...saved my day!!!
[09:45] <RkyRaccoon55> royel: you around?
[09:45] <shwag> is it difficult to setup an IRC server ?
[09:45] <grndslm> soundray:  a swap on the backup drive?  never heard of such?  i assume it doesn't need to be much since it's the backup, eh?
[09:45] <Senderbasic> no problem, im just coding stuff.. not doing anything evil like way back :)
[09:46] <SamePaul> Could someone help me with IPW2200? I'm trying to compile accroding to instruction I've found but no luck meanwhile
[09:46] <grndslm> soundray:  or do i make it the same size as my main drive?
[09:46] <soundray> grndslm: not on the backup drive -- anywhere on the system
[09:46] <StoneNote> SamePaul, what instructions are you following?
[09:46] <Senderbasic> SamePaul: xamtool is excused ;)
[09:46] <grndslm> soundray:  well, i have a gig of swap...for a gig of memory, should i allocate more to swap?
[09:47] <soundray> grndslm: no, that'll be enough
[09:47] <SamePaul> StoneNote: http://linuxforum.ru/index.php?showtopic=33565#
[09:47] <grndslm> alright...well, i'm good now (hopefully)...thanks again, soundray
[09:47] <soundray> grndslm: but I'm pretty sure now that whatever rendered your system unusable wasn't a lack of memory.
[09:47] <StoneNote> SamePaul, no can help. I can't read russian
[09:48] <grndslm> i'm assuming it was not using fdisk?
[09:48] <bigjohntoday> just out of curiousity has anyone ever got ubuntu to install using a maxtor graphics card with dual dvi connections?
[09:48] <grndslm> maybe not...
[09:48] <SamePaul> StoneNote: Part in red frame is not so russian - it rather shell ;)
[09:48] <cosmmin> gcc is not working!

[09:48] <cosmmin> checking for gcc... gcc
[09:48] <cosmmin> checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... no
[09:48] <cosmmin> configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.
[09:49] <arrenlex> irida: bs | cosmmin
[09:49] <irida> cosmmin: Compiling from source? You'll need to install the build-essential package.
[09:49] <SamePaul> StoneNote: 1st part - installing ieee80211
[09:49] <Senderbasic> cosmmin: install gcc then...
[09:49] <cosmmin> but gcc is installed

[09:51] <Senderbasic> arrenlex: Im wrong ? / I havnt been for many years..
[09:51] <cosmmin> arrenlex, thank you
[09:51] <arrenlex> Senderbasic: If you haven't been wrong for many years, I think you should be working on quantum physics and relativity rather than hanging out in #ubuntu.
[09:51] <cosmmin> i installing right now
[09:51] <arrenlex> cosmmin: yw.
[09:51] <fxfitz> arrenlex: When you say terminal, do you mean CTRL-ALT-F1? Because that doesn't seem to work in Ubuntu like it does in other distros.
[09:51] <arrenlex> fxfitz: You should use a terminal emulator.
[09:52] <arrenlex> fxfitz: Although ctrl+alt+f1 should work in ubuntu as in all the other distros, and does for me.
[09:52] <Senderbasic> arrenlex: Perhaps but what is required is also nice especially when you like computing
[09:52] <StoneNote> SamePaul, paste what you are getting from the make or make install that is not working
[09:52] <fxfitz> arrenlex: Hmm. Yeah, it's just giving me a black screen. :(
[09:52] <StoneNote> SamePaul, use pastebin
[09:52] <arrenlex> fxfitz: Dunno. Use the terminal emulator.
[09:52] <fxfitz> arrenlex: Alright, thank you!
[09:53] <SamePaul> StoneNote: it's hard, since my notebook is not connected. I'm now from WinXP desktop
[09:53] <Senderbasic> arrenlex: I compute about 15 hours a day, mostly networking stuff but also spend alot of hours a week coding
[09:53] <StoneNote> SamePaul, I could see that being an issue :D

[09:54] <RkyRaccoon55> can somebody here help me get some drivers working on an ati radeon x1950 pro?
[09:54] <JoseStefan> I've moved my ubuntu hard drive to another computer, the drive has both WinXP (A) and ubuntu. And the new hardware has another drive with only WinXP (B) on it. I would like to have grub as the main boot loader, but change my dual boot settings so that it boots the WinXP (B), as WinXP (A) will not boot because of the change of hardware. I have tried (hd0,0) and (hd1,0) and both seem to boot the same WinXP install.
[09:54] <SamePaul> StoneNote: Yeap :) But the problem is that it can't find ieee80211.h in /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/include
[09:55] <administrator_> is there a way to send a process immediately into the background over ssh using '&'?  or is this not possible because the shell is a child of ssh?
[09:55] <soundray> Senderbasic: yes, it is, but there are channels more suited for talking and being nice
[09:55] <kharloss> if i have 2 DNS  and i need to manualy change between them  how can i do this ?
[09:55] <bigjohntoday> Soundray: Assuming this ubuntu text installation goes smooth, ubuntu will support DVI graphics output and if I install matrox specific linux drivers everything should be smooth sailing (in a perfect world that is)!
[09:55] <fxfitz> arrenlex: Hehe, yeah, that didn't work. It just gave me a black screen and I had to hard reboot.

[09:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xml - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[09:56] <soundray> bigjohntoday: that's right. If it works as it should, it will even install the mga driver for you.
[09:56] <RkyRaccoon55> does anyone here know how to get a graphics driver working for an ati x1950 pro?

I connect the printer directly (usb) and I can print a test print, but I cant seem to print any other jobs, it says serial printer error. So I connected it back to the print server (ubuntu) and I just want to send a print job from my laptop
[10:02] <SurfnKid> Vlet: hello
[10:03] <Senderbasic> sometimes i wish some people will actually find out and say thanks for all the code man, but no.. :) .. oh well, code goes on and so does life
[10:03] <grndslm> uh soundray:  i'm dewercs
[10:03] <bigjohntoday> SurfnKid: what you can attempt to do is set up the print using cups but using TCP/IP style setup hence you send the print job to the "IP" of your other box and theoretically that should do it. I have done it before but this was a while back....

[10:10] <grndslm> soundray:  i'm assuming since vol_id is showing the same UUID as in the fstab that something's wrong?
[10:11] <Senderbasic> tehxed: 'Think', become better, better your thinking dude! ... where do you edit now ?
[10:11] <bigjohntoday> trying to load ubuntu in rescue mode and doesn't pass the following line.... help please :::::: smp_apic_timer_interrupt
[10:11] <tehxed> Senderbasic, I don't know what ms is. =(
[10:11] <chiefbearclaw> may be wrong... thought I saw a video how to once regarding gparted and resizing ntfs.
[10:11] <starly> hi, does anybody know how i can get a specific version of Xorg?
[10:11] <grndslm> perhaps i didn't use fdisk there as well...it's been at least several reboots since then
[10:11] <kane77> lesshaste, no I havent, but it may be unsafe, ntfs isnt 100% supported...
[10:11] <Senderbasic> tehxed: MestruationAlgaerhythm :)
[10:11] <starly> in aptitude i can find Xorg only in virtual packages
[10:11] <soundray> grndslm: no, that's expected, isn't it?
[10:11] <shadowhywind_> hay all,first time i am trying to startx on a new(old) computer. And i can not get xorg right. When i startx i get a gray screen with a bunch of horizontal lines
[10:11] <tehxed> Senderbasic, gedit?
[10:11] <Senderbasic> tehxed: And sklerosis hehe
[10:11] <Senderbasic> tehxed: No, thats ok
[10:11] <SurfnKid> Senderbasic: haha
[10:11] <Senderbasic> :)
[10:12] <tehxed> Senderbasic, I'm so lost
[10:12] <tehxed> You have no idea
[10:12] <tehxed> I'm .. lost
[10:12] <SurfnKid> arent we all
[10:12] <starly> shadowhywind_: do you have any windowmanager installed?
[10:12] <grndslm> soundray:  i don't understand why it doesn't mount my home directory on boot tho, it works when i mount it to /mnt
[10:12] <Senderbasic> I rule any problem the
[10:12] <shadowhywind_> i have fluxbox and icevm installed
[10:12] <bigz> where would i find out how to mount a NTFS partition?
[10:12] <anv1> Anybody has Linksys WMP54GR Wireless Adapter in his/her computer?
[10:12] <Senderbasic> I rule any problem teh. fjukin xchat
[10:12] <bigjohntoday> anyone have any idea?
[10:12] <grndslm> soundray:  i guess i must just use device name instead?
[10:12] <shadowhywind_> when i startx, it looks like i have the standard kde menu on the bottom, but i can't tell because the screen is all distorted

[10:13] <Senderbasic> like smalljohn
[10:13] <bigjohntoday> indeed

[10:13] <tehxed> Senderbasic, I ...don't know how to edit..or where iwconfig.cfg is
[10:13] <shadowhywind_> do i have to pass in anything with startx to start with say icevm

[10:13] <ubotu> bigz: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[10:13] <bigz> Cheers
[10:13] <shadowhywind_> i mean icewm
[10:13] <soundray> grndslm: why not just try
[10:13] <studeringaaron> sup everyone
[10:14] <Chamuco> I see bittorrent is installed but don't see it in applications does it come w/ a GUI
[10:14] <grndslm> soundray:  i'm just trying to figure out why the UUIDs are there to begin with if i have to use the device name anyway??
[10:14] <Chamuco> or is all command line based
[10:14] <bigjohntoday> smp_apic_timer_interupt !!!! How do i fix that issue?
[10:14] <soundray> grndslm: the UUIDs are there in preparation for some transition that will require them.
[10:14] <bigz> kane77: the thing is im running buntu through VMware.. so how would i do it, or what i do it the same way it says on the above link you just gave me?
[10:14] <lesshaste> hmm. seems that gentoo and fedora have ntfsresize in their boot cds
[10:14] <lesshaste> odd that ubuntu doesn;t
[10:14] <SurfnKid> how can i start the vnc/rdp system on a remote box?
[10:15] <Marka> hey can anyone help me? whenever I try to boot ubuntu from the disc, it freezes loading here: http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b19/x1n54n1tyd/noname.jpg
[10:15] <fxfitz> Hi. I'm trying to find my refresh rates for my Dell Inspiron e1505 monitor so I can change the xorg.conf file, but I'm having a really hard time finding them. Can anyone point me in a good direction?
[10:15] <starly> shadowhywind_: afaik with startx your standard windowmanager should start (as root, since you did starx as root, i suppose)
[10:15] <soundray> grndslm: why they don't work I don't know, we could diagnose if you're very interested, but it's probably not worth it if it works with the devnames.
[10:15] <Senderbasic> soundray: we are having fun at no expense of ubuntu, Im coding quite a few apps youre using, can i make a few jokes not related to ubuntu ?
[10:15] <shadowhywind_> starly afaik? or startx afaik?
[10:15] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: is that a notebook?
[10:15] <grndslm> soundray:  yea, if i get it working, i'm done
[10:15] <kane77> bigz, hmm and you want to add a partition from your host computer (meaning host for vmware)
[10:15] <tonyyarusso> Senderbasic: you can in #ubuntu-offtopic, if they're clean.  This chan's for support though.
[10:15] <tehxed> Senderbasic, ...nothing?
[10:15] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Yeah, it is.
[10:16] <starly> afaik means "as far as i know" ;-)
[10:16] <grndslm> soundray:  and it works
[10:16] <grndslm> soundray:  you the man.   *high five*
[10:16] <gnomefreak> soundray: ?
[10:16] <StoneNote> bigjohntoday, only thing I see that mentions smp_apic_timer_interupt is http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-219681.html
[10:16] <bigz> kane77: yeah its got some stuff on that i would'nt mind using within buntu through VMware..
[10:16] <gnomefreak> tonyyarusso: you got it?
[10:16] <chiefbearclaw> http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2369893842637434537&q=installing+ubuntu  In this video its implied that resizing ntfs with gparted along with the default partitioner from the install disc will resize ntfs just fine.
[10:16] <elyon225> !rar
[10:16] <ubotu> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[10:16] <Senderbasic> tonyyarusso, youre in luck then because i know how to compile and make a GNU/Linux system from scratch.. almost every swith and option
[10:16] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: afaik the refresh can be set to 60Hz, does that answer your q?
[10:16] <tonyyarusso> gnomefreak: Yeah, I'm watching now.
[10:16] <lesshaste> chiefbearclaw: going to try gparted
[10:17] <lesshaste> why does noone use the nicks here :) ?
[10:17] <chiefbearclaw> ^^ check that video
[10:17] <gnomefreak> ok ty sorry was trying to get done for weekend :)
[10:17] <soundray> gnomefreak: thanks
[10:17] <TheMonkeyMoo> I've used gparted to resize NTFS with no problems
[10:17] <starly> can anyone help me gettiing X.org version 6.8.2 ? it's recommanded from the vendor's driver of my graphics card, so i want exactly this version
[10:17] <Senderbasic> tonyyarusso, youre welcome to test this on me (id like that)
[10:17] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Well, I'm trying to find the vertical and horizontal refresh rates. It looks like the syntax has to be like 30-90 or something.
[10:17] <kane77> bigz, there is a option to share a folder in vmware (VM -> Settings -> Options -> Shared Folders)
[10:17] <anton> how do i run everything in cups as root?
[10:17] <anton> i provide cupsd.conf with User root option but i am told in /var/log/cups/error_log that it is insecure :\
[10:17] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: standby lemme check....
[10:17] <lesshaste> TheMonkeyMoo: interesting...
[10:17] <anton> how do i force it to obey? :S
[10:18] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Thanks!
[10:18] <kane77> bigz, choose a folder you want to share (or whole drive, it's up to you)
[10:18] <bigz> kane77: is that going to work tho, seen as i did a NAT connection and not a brigde connection?
[10:18] <TheMonkeyMoo> of course you want to make sure it is defragged and back it up and all that fun stuff
[10:18] <Senderbasic> tonyyarusso, i need to find 'DexT' so i can ask him to put a GPL stamp on bin2iso.c for me
[10:18] <studeringaaron> can anyone help me source the drivers for my winmodem please??
[10:18] <scienceboy> Hello, i have a question. I want to install ubuntu on a 5-6 year old toshiba labtop and i want to wipe the hard drive before doing so. i have backed everything up but lack the knowledge to actually wipe the drive. how do i do so?
[10:19] <gnomefreak> lesshaste: stop that please
[10:19] <tonyyarusso> Senderbasic: Last seen on this network over two years ago. Doubt you'll find them here.
[10:19] <kane77> bigz, it works for me (thou I have different setup as I run vmware on ubuntu and run windows on vmware)
[10:19] <Senderbasic> tonyyarusso, mount -o loop foo.iso /bar will then do mount -o loop foo.bin /bar as well
[10:19] <phazeman> hi all. i've been trying to install or just startup a live cd with ubuntu on my new computer but it always stuck on the X startup (live). it's a dualcore 64 bit intel pentium 4 2.6 machine and i was using the regular x86 image as was suggested here. anyone has any idea or i just should start downloading the 64bit version ?
[10:19] <SurfnKid> gnomefreak: hey do yoyu know what the service to start rdp/vnc is called?
[10:19] <Senderbasic> tonyyarusso: saw him in 2000...
[10:19] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: http://www.kodeks.hr/Assets/Pdf/inspiron_6400.pdf
[10:20] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: That was all I could find.
[10:20] <StoneNote> Senderbasic, DeXT<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[10:20] <starly> scienceboy: just insert the cd and run the installation of ubuntu - it will ask you to partition your hdd and then you can format (and delete all content) it
[10:20] <bigz> kane77: so i do that and then i would follow the guide.. that you just gave me cureect?
[10:20] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: thanks mate!
[10:20] <StoneNote> yw
[10:20] <bigz> *Currect
[10:20] <TheMonkeyMoo> scienceboy: during the Ubuntu installation you will get an option to delete the entire hard drive. choose this option.
[10:20] <Hasrat_Usa> currect!
[10:20] <scienceboy> starly: so when i tell it to partition, it will give me the option to format the harddrive and erase all of window's stuff?
[10:20] <starly> scienceboy: yes
[10:20] <scienceboy> starly: thank you!
[10:20] <gnomefreak> SurfnKid: sorry not off hand i dont use it
[10:20] <kane77> bigz,  not exactly...  the guide is for mounting physical disk... you just need to mount the shared folder...
[10:21] <starly> scienceboy: np
[10:21] <bigjohntoday> yea so I am at the point where I am about to say a lot of bad words.... whats the point lol...... this system just won't load I tell you
[10:21] <Pelo> does anyone know if there is a Frostwire channel somewhere ?
[10:21] <bigz> kane77: So how would i go about doing that one then?
[10:21] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: im serving about a 1000 copies of his thing each month in source form so its not that bad, if GPLed ill fix it up some too
[10:21] <phazeman> anyone ?
[10:21] <starly> does anyone know how to get a specific version of X.org?
[10:21] <Hasrat_Usa> Pelo no but what's the problem with frostwire? i'm a huge fan of frostwire
[10:21] <Pelo> starkruzr,  from the xwindow site maybe ?
[10:22] <studeringaaron> can anyone please help me wit hdial up stuff
[10:22] <dickfitzwell> hello all
[10:22] <Pelo> Hasrat_Usa,  just reinstalled and the tray icon isn'T showing
[10:22] <kane77> bigz, wait a sec...
[10:22] <lesshaste> chiefbearclaw: according to that video gparted is part of the ubuntu installation cd
[10:22] <gnomefreak> dickfitzwell: please change your nick as it can be taken offensive
[10:22] <bigz> kane77: okays
[10:22] <lesshaste> chiefbearclaw: I used the minimal iso and it didn't offer me that
[10:22] <SurfnKid> gnomefreak: ok no probs man :)
[10:22] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: Check it, very slim but needs a bit a love...:http://mange.dynalias.org/linux/bin2iso/bin2iso.c
[10:22] <Hasrat_Usa> but the program is working fine? bigz?
[10:23] <soundray> starly: if you want to stay within the ubuntu framework, you're stuck with 7.0 on edgy.
[10:23] <bigz> Hasrat_Usa: what program?
[10:23] <dickfitzwell> alrighty sorry for any offense
[10:23] <dickfitzwell> brb then
[10:23] <Hasrat_Usa> i think you have to go to edit > preferences. frostwire. i meant to say, "frostwire is performing fine?"
[10:23] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: booting another system here to ppek in the xorg.conf file......
[10:23] <Pelo> Hasrat_Usa,  yes frostwire is working
[10:24] <Hasrat_Usa> ok
[10:24] <soundray> starly: if you want a different version, you have to compile and install it yourself, bypassing the apt system.
[10:24] <StoneNote> Senderbasic, there is another email from http://svn.exactcode.de/t2/trunk/package/filesystem/bin2iso/bin2iso.desc which is Nagy Karoly Gabriel<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and according to bin2iso.desc bin2iso.c IS gpl, unless I'm reading this wrong
[10:24] <lesshaste> which install iso's have gparted on them?
[10:24] <scope006> I feel really stupid asking this but I'm not use to a Debian based system.  How can i find out my default gateway if im using dhcp?  /etc/sysconfig/network* is not the file structure ubuntu is using
[10:24] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Gracias
[10:24] <Endafy> sorry about any offense my other nick may have caused
[10:24] <starly> soundray: can i tell apt not to install another version of xorg, when i install it from source?
[10:24] <scope006> yes i did some diggin... =(
[10:24] <Endafy> I forgot kids may be here
[10:25] <Pelo> Hasrat_Usa, I though you were a fan ?  there is no prefs in frostwire, the optons are under tools
[10:25] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: are you only tring to do this for the internal LCD? or other monitors attached?
[10:25] <hairulfr> <Hey all, how do I do a backtrace on a hostname? Is there a nice tool for this?
[10:25] <Endafy> OK i need help I want to learn Ubuntu I am extremely new to linux and a friend pointed me to ubuntu
[10:25] <hairulfr> Or IP for that matter
[10:25] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: I think he is swdish..
[10:26] <bigjohntoday> ok how can I get to a command line mode in ubuntu without loading into the GUI so I can install matrox video card drive?
[10:26] <soundray> starly: yes, but you have to uninstall all the metapackages that depend on X directly or indirectly
[10:26] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Just the attached monitor thing.
[10:26] <jrib> Endafy: take a look at help.ubuntu.com
[10:26] <Endafy> ty
[10:26] <soundray> starly: btw, feisty will have 7.1
[10:26] <jmazaredo> if i can run desk3d can i run beryl?
[10:26] <pkilgore_> I'm looking for a better gdb frontend than ddd, does anybody have any suggestions?
[10:26] <Hasrat_Usa> oh yeah pelo sorry :P
[10:26] <tonyyarusso> soundray: 7.2
[10:26] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: Section "Monitor"
[10:26] <geek-wannabe> 	Identifier   "LCD"
[10:26] <geek-wannabe> 	Option	    "DPMS"
[10:26] <geek-wannabe> EndSection
[10:26] <StoneNote> Senderbasic, probably is. but the person at the second email might know how to contact him if the other email address is a deadend
[10:26] <Hasrat_Usa> um no there is no possible solution of it as of today
[10:26] <soundray> tonyyarusso: really?
[10:27] <tonyyarusso> soundray: yep  :)
[10:27] <Hasrat_Usa> but it didn't happen to me though
[10:27] <tonyyarusso> soundray: (see /topic in #ubuntu+1)
[10:27] <Hasrat_Usa> it just works like limewire in Linux in my PC
[10:27] <starly> soundray: does this mean, i have to install all GUI-programs from source?
[10:27] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: no refresh info in the xorg file on the notebook, apparently
[10:27] <Endafy> finally a manual I have been through like 10 different distributions and this is all I asked for and it was like pulling teeth
[10:27] <soundray> tonyyarusso: thanks. starly, take note ;)
[10:27] <cbx33> any reason why also just forgot about one of my sound cards?
[10:27] <soundray> starly: no
[10:27] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Yeah, I have all that. But I also don't have any resolutions higher than 1024x768
[10:27] <Vlet>  is there anything I need to do to get the livecd to recognize a usb keyboard? there is no option in my bios for legacy device etc
[10:28] <soundray> starly: you can still install GUI clients, as they don't depend on the X server being installed locally.
[10:28] <Hasrat_Usa> Vlet is it a dell? is it a AMD Athlon 64 bit dual core?
[10:28] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: he has directed the url to my site :) .. Thats way neat but update the url to mange.dynalias.org/.... its much faster resolving (or used to be anyhow)  [U]  http://mange.dynup.net/linux/bin2iso/
[10:28] <StoneNote> Endafy, you might want to look at this starter guide too http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy
[10:28] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: yes and no. intel core 2
[10:28] <scope006> figured it out.  /sbin/route works
[10:28] <scope006> thnx guys
[10:28] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: hoho, thats neat!
[10:29] <bigjohntoday> does ubuntu work fine with intel core duo technology?>
[10:29] <chiefbearclaw> hi minx :P
[10:29] <cafuego> bigjohntoday: yup
[10:29] <soundray> starly: but you can probably save yourself headaches by testing feisty instead of retrofitting 7.2 onto edgy.
[10:29] <|Minx|> hey chief:)
[10:29] <TheMonkeyMoo> bigjohntoday, it works great on my Centrino Duo laptop
[10:29] <cafuego> model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU          6300  @ 1.86GHz
[10:29] <chiefbearclaw> its crazy in here sometimes so hang tight
[10:29] <bigjohntoday> thats the same cpu i got
[10:29] <|Minx|> crazy i like :P
[10:29] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: Any suggestions?
[10:29] <Hasrat_Usa> Vlet is your USB mouse working fine?
[10:29] <Endafy> I have ubuntu and it fails to boot due to my video card will be replacing it soon its an ati radeon x700 pro and If I can get someone to help get me started it would be much appreciated
[10:30] <cafuego> bigjohntoday: Edgy may not work with all components on the latest 965 mainboards
[10:30] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: See, I'm trying to follow: http://www.kodeks.hr/Assets/Pdf/inspiron_6400.pdf
[10:30] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: ill have to throw away this modem as well to live in complete etherwire freedom (not that i need to but for the sake of argument)
[10:30] <bigjohntoday> ok so what am i to do?
[10:30] <Senderbasic> :)
[10:30] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: I can't tell. The system boots fine because I can hear the startup sound, but there also seems to be no support for my vid card, so I see nothing, and can not ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a terminal :/
[10:30] <starly> soundray: i'll test feisty, if it's not better in feisty, can i install xorg 6.X and let xorg7 installed until xorg6 is running or will i have a time when i can't use X?
[10:30] <TheMonkeyMoo> endafy, I had a lot of trouble with various ATI video cards, but have not had any problems with Nvidia cards.
[10:30] <cafuego> bigjohntoday: Boot into recovery mode, it will dump you to a root shell.
[10:31] <Endafy> ya I am going to buy nvidia
[10:31] <bigjohntoday> no it goes into a panic mode
[10:31] <SamePaul> how to mount SMB such that it will be accessible from apps?
[10:31] <Endafy> jus no cash right now
[10:31] <Hasrat_Usa> nobody can assure you that he/she can solve your problem. but you never know! however, answering some questions asked by people who have been through similiar scenarios would always help
[10:31] <gnomefreak> Senderbasic: you were asked to continue offtopic "topics" in #ubuntu-offtopic.
[10:31] <bigjohntoday> cafuego: I will try again and let you know what message I get this time
[10:31] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: The optical light is on though
[10:31] <Endafy> even in windows ati sucks
[10:31] <Hasrat_Usa> okay Vlet now you're saying that you are having problems with video. now that's a bigger problem
[10:32] <gop> windows ati drivers are bloated
[10:32] <soundray> starly: I'm not aware of any way of installing 6.X without bypassing apt
[10:32] <gop> or at least the function
[10:32] <gop> to get tv out
[10:32] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: yes, booting off 6.10, after the system tries to go into VGA, goes blank
[10:32] <christianp> hi all
[10:32] <Senderbasic> !changenets:scatter:311422,6:await12
[10:32] <bigjohntoday> cafuego: once again in recovery mode i got smp_apic_timer_interrupt
[10:32] <starly> soundray: ok, thanks a lot :-)
[10:32] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: In xorg.conf, in section "Screen", you should have subsections for "display" as folows:
[10:32] <geek-wannabe> 	SubSection "Display"
[10:32] <geek-wannabe> 		Depth     24
[10:32] <geek-wannabe> 		Modes    "1280x768"
[10:32] <xenoborg> endafy: what does your Xorg log say?
[10:32] <cosmodad> can anyone tell me how to produce characters based on unicode encoding? I defined the "Compose" key but cannot manage to print the english pound
[10:32] <cosmodad> ...using gnome
[10:32] <Senderbasic> gnomefreak: yes python coder ?
[10:32] <cafuego> Senderbasic: Which botnet are you working with?
[10:33] <Hasrat_Usa> have you ever tried disconnecting your USB keyboard/mouse, connecting a ps/2 keyboard/mouse and then using the liveCD to boot the PC?
[10:33] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: new Dell Optiplex 745 with a ATI X1300 Pro and dual DVI connected monitors.... Dell: I know, but it's what the school buys :)
[10:33] <gnomefreak> Senderbasic: try #python
[10:33] <soundray> starly: what is it about 7.0 that troubles you?
[10:33] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: the bigger question, is do you have the right drivers for the video chipset?
[10:33] <Endafy> I downloaded Ubuntu Ultimate and when I try to boot it wither the screen goes black and it locks up or it just goes into a text based installer
[10:33] <wabz> hi, the latest update of imagemagick just kinda halts apt-get upgrade - this is a known issue?
[10:33] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Probably not. I JUST installed ubuntu for the first time.
[10:33] <Endafy> does the same thing with reg ubuntu
[10:33] <Endafy> it will just die
[10:33] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: unfortunately, Dell has decided to no longer ship with ps/2 ports :-/
[10:33] <cafuego> bigjohntoday: See if you can add 'pci=noapic' to the kernel commandline
[10:33] <Senderbasic> cafuego: none, i just stare blizzfully out into the greystarrs :)
[10:33] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: also replace 1280x768 in my example with actual resolution you need
[10:33] <soundray> wabz: no, I didn't experience that. What happens when it "kinda halts"?
[10:33] <dick_> I have a kodak c875 and am having problems mounting it cause i can't find any drivers that support it. anyone have any ideas
[10:34] <dick_> ?
[10:34] <Endafy> yeah but I hope Dell ships with Ubuntu
[10:34] <bigjohntoday> cafuego: just at the end correct?
[10:34] <wabz> it's been at "Unpacking replacement imagemagick ..." for _ages_
[10:34] <Tuumba> how can i set up my tv card ? when i try search channel it doesnt find anything.... :(
[10:34] <christianp> i'm "playing" with my old dapper and i find a wrong package in my system, so i'm unable to update it. The problem is: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[10:34] <cafuego> bigjohntoday: yup
[10:34] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Should I only change it for Depth 24?
[10:34] <fxfitz> Or all of the depths?
[10:34] <cafuego> bigjohntoday: (still the recovery, btw)
[10:34] <soundray> wabz: I suggest you kill it and run 'sudo apt-get -f install'
[10:34] <christianp> i tried to use apt-get -f install, but i have the same error... what other?
[10:35] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: change it for the various bit depths
[10:35] <starly> soundray: i got the driver for my matrox g200 (really old graphics card) and by installing, it complains about wrong xserver version, by checking the manual i found they require xorg 5.X or 6.X
[10:35] <Hasrat_Usa> i know. now i also know that it's a dell computer that you have, Vlet. i have a dell AMD Athlon dual core x2 3800+ and i have run into more serious problems with all my USB devices. i bought ps/2 keyboard and mouse to solve the problem. but to my horror, i found out it didn't have any ps/2 port
[10:35] <dick_> I have a kodak c875 and am having problems mounting it cause i can't find any drivers that support it. anyone have any ideas
[10:35] <bigjohntoday> cafuego: unknown option
[10:35] <Endafy> I tried Fedora core 6 and it just seems incomplete where it needs to be I used Ubuntu on a friend's machine and it is quite nice
[10:35] <xenoborg> endafy: when you are in text mode, type cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[10:35] <wabz> soundray: okay, doing now. It looks like it's doing the same thing though.
[10:35] <cafuego> bigjohntoday: hmmm, hold on
[10:35] <bigjohntoday> ok
[10:35] <Hasrat_Usa> but Vlet as far as i hope we are close to solving the problem. hang on a second. you said it's a dell
[10:36] <cafuego> bigjohntoday: It's a valid line, weird.
[10:36] <Endafy> ok I have to reboot then since I have a wireless card not supported by linux once I get this going I need ndiswrapper as well
[10:36] <Senderbasic> cafuego: openssl is not vulnerable by means of the vectrex its like ssh with of any none.
[10:36] <Hasrat_Usa> Vlet which PC are you on right now? where is the PC in question?
[10:36] <bigjohntoday> pci=noapci or pci=noacpi?
[10:36] <Vlet> I am currently on a win32 dell. the system in question is beside me on the lan.
[10:36] <fotoflo> how do i install perl modules on ubuntu?
[10:36] <cafuego> bigjohntoday: pci=noapic (NOT noacpi)
[10:36] <cima> hi all
[10:36] <wabz> soundray: When I hit ctrl-c, I get; dpkg: warning - old post-removal script killed by signal (Interrupt) if that's any help
[10:37] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Yeah, I just replaced all the resolutions, but I'm pretty sure I don't have any chipsets or anything. I don't even know how to do that. :(
[10:37] <Endafy> I might wait for Ubuntu 7 by then I will have an Nvidia card ty all for your help
[10:37] <bigjohntoday> cafuego: ok I will try again but that is how I put it :)
[10:37] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Or which ones I might need.
[10:37] <Endafy> im so sick of ati
[10:37] <Hasrat_Usa> okay can you please reboot it and tell me the exact version number of its bios?
[10:37] <fotoflo> er nevermind - cpan -i module
[10:37] <cafuego> bigjohntoday: it *really* should work... promise :-)
[10:37] <Endafy> you have all been so helpful
[10:37] <xenoborg> endafy: do you have a working linux system right now?
[10:37] <StoneNote> Endafy, is your monitor DVI?
[10:37] <cafuego> Senderbasic: I was hoping to, but blue.
[10:37] <Senderbasic> cafuego: youre appreciated, keep up the good ways
[10:37] <Endafy> I have Fedora core 6 on
[10:37] <Endafy> it works sort of
[10:37] <Senderbasic> cafuego: yknow
[10:37] <soundray> wabz: if you're good with scripts, you could look at it and find out why it's stalling (/var/lib/dpkg/info/packagename.postrm)
[10:38] <Endafy> but there is literally no help for it
[10:38] <Endafy> unless I wanna pay for it
[10:38] <bigjohntoday> cafuego: kernel panic this time :(
[10:38] <starly> is feisty already stable enough to run it?
[10:38] <xenoborg> can't you install ubuntu without booting?
[10:38] <Senderbasic> cafuego: all sound minded things will perhaps be for the better implementations
[10:38] <Endafy> My Moniter is DVI why
[10:38] <Hasrat_Usa> starly i don't think so
[10:38] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: what is your LCd's ntive resolution?
[10:38] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: Model: Optiplex 745, BIOS: 2.1.0 (12/04/06)
[10:38] <soundray> wabz: if not, you could do a really dirty hack and force the postrm script to succeed by inserting 'exit 0' as the second line of the script.
[10:38] <cafuego> Senderbasic: still without macaroni, but seventeen birds do
[10:38] <wabz> soundray: I'll have a look
[10:38] <Hasrat_Usa> thanks Vlet. hold on
[10:38] <StoneNote> starly, I am running it without issue but in #ubuntu+1 the topic says it should not be considered stable
[10:39] <Senderbasic> cafuego: I for one is for new and well thought out implementations, Ty!
[10:39] <cosmodad> can anyone tell me how to produce characters based on unicode encoding? I defined the "Compose" key in GNOME but cannot manage to print the english pound
[10:39] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: err... what do you mean by that? :(
[10:39] <soundray> starly: I'm running it on a production machine
[10:39] <cafuego> Senderbasic: when?
[10:39] <starly> well, i'll try :-)
[10:39] <tom_ac> I have a problem with 915resolution an an Samsung X20. Can anyone help me?
[10:39] <soundray> starly: only because otherwise it wouldn't run at all. It's stable. That doesn't mean you'll have the same experience, though.
[10:39] <iGadget> hi
[10:40] <Endafy> xenoborg : I have fedora Core 6 I went looking for ndiswrapper for it and it is impossible to get any answers from people on other channels in effnet
[10:40] <bigjohntoday> ok i place break=bottom instead of quiet splash
[10:40] <SamePaul> someone knows how to mount SMB? I remember in Debian it was possible
[10:40] <starly> soundray: the same experience as what?
[10:40] <Endafy> they tell me yum this and that and I have no net unless by wireless
[10:40] <iGadget> I'm trying to install edgy next to my dapper install, and I'd like to re-use my existing /boot partition
[10:40] <soundray> starly: the same experience of stability that I have ;)
[10:40] <bigjohntoday> i still am getting this /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off what the heck should i do
[10:40] <iGadget> but now the installer comes with this:
[10:40] <Senderbasic> cafuego: dalfreenodes+intarwebz.. g_spawn_async_with_pipes()
[10:40] <iGadget> Filesystems used by the system (/, /boot, /usr, /var) must be reformatted for use by this installer. Other filesystems (/home, /media/*, /usr/local, etc.) may be used without reformatting.
[10:40] <iGadget> _why_ does the edgy installer need to format /boot?
[10:40] <Senderbasic> efnets+
[10:40] <cafuego> Senderbasic: often, but not always tomely
[10:40] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: If you mean native resolution, when I use Windows 1680x1050 looks the best and is default.
[10:41] <TheMonkeyMoo> endafy, if you get the ENVY script form http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html and have an internet connection working on the machine with the ATI card, you can use it to install the ATI drivers from the CLI. ENVY is a python script to download and install the latest drivers for you automatically for nvidia and ATI cards. I haven't tried it with ATI, but it worked great for my nvidia
[10:41] <mwe> iGadget: it does? I didn't even create a /boot partition
[10:41] <Senderbasic> cafuego: any of these 'tomely' will know my inner self
[10:41] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: the LCD has a native resolution, such as 1680x1050, refers to the ACTUAL number of pixels in the screen
[10:41] <Hasrat_Usa> Vlet hold on
[10:41] <cafuego> Senderbasic: not for at least more weeks upside down in a car
[10:41] <iGadget> mwe: I did, because I want to use XFS as the root filesystem
[10:41] <Endafy> right net connection is the problem I have
[10:41] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Okay, I do believe it's 1680x1050
[10:42] <TheMonkeyMoo> endafy ah, I see
[10:42] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: I'm hanging - Thanks :)
[10:42] <Endafy> with my current lfedora
[10:42] <soundray> christianp: still here?
[10:42] <mwe> iGadget: I had the option of choosing to format each partition or leave the file sytem
[10:42] <christianp> yes soundray
[10:42] <soundray> christianp: can you put the output of 'sudo apt-get -f install' on the pastebin pls
[10:42] <Senderbasic> cafuego: All the miles in snow and dusk of dan ger it befalls
[10:42] <christianp> ok
[10:42] <Endafy> All I asked for was something better than windows Linux does a fine job of it just why cant people release source to their hardware so drivers can be written
[10:42] <Hasrat_Usa> Vlet thanks. the OS is windows XP?
[10:43] <cafuego> heee
[10:43] <iGadget> mwe: me as well, but when I de-selected the /boot partition, it came up with the error msg I just pasted above
[10:43] <Senderbasic> sorry
[10:43] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: The system I am currently on? yes...?
[10:43] <Endafy> they have nothing to lose and everything to gain by doing so
[10:43] <mwe> iGadget: I think i missed that
[10:43] <Hasrat_Usa> no. optiplex 745, the pc in question
[10:43] <iGadget> Filesystems used by the system (/, /boot, /usr, /var) must be reformatted for use by this installer. Other filesystems (/home, /media/*, /usr/local, etc.) may be used without reformatting.
[10:43] <Senderbasic> cafuego, accept msgs...
[10:43] <iGadget> this msg :)
[10:43] <linuxnewbie756> does anyone here know a REAL way to disable ipv6?
[10:43] <soundray> Endafy: preaching to the choir here...
[10:43] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: check out this website: http://klepas.org/2006/04/09/ubuntu-on-the-inspiron-6400/
[10:44] <Endafy> it is disorienting
[10:44] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: explains it a bit better than I can
[10:44] <mwe> iGadget: odd
[10:44] <Hasrat_Usa> does the PC, which is having problems with running Ubuntu, have windows XP?
[10:44] <mwe> iGadget: report a bug. that's annoying
[10:44] <bigjohntoday> No really, please does anyone have any idea why that occurs?
[10:44] <Endafy> well Ima buy nvidia and get rid of the wireless lan then
[10:44] <iGadget> mwe: yes, especially since feisty didn't complain about htis
[10:44] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: Ahh. Yes, I just wiped the drive, installed XP onto a 50G primary, and was planning on giving ubuntu a 50G secondary
[10:44] <Endafy> get a wire to my router
[10:44] <iGadget> mwe: I guess I will :)
[10:44] <Endafy> is faster anyhow
[10:44] <Hasrat_Usa> cool okay
[10:44] <Endafy> ty all
[10:44] <Senderbasic> cafuego: iroca nakitas nehenono
[10:45] <Endafy> im outie will be back later
[10:45] <soundray> bigjohntoday: I wish I had. Every now and then, someone reports this problem here.
[10:45] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Alright. Now how will that help me, exactly? :-P
[10:45] <mwe> iGadget: a work around would be to back up the data and restore it when it's done. but it sure sounds annoying
[10:46] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: looks like your system needs some tweaking, as I was reading in that site....
[10:46] <iGadget> mwe: that was exactly the question I'd want to ask you... do you think that will work?
[10:46] <bigjohntoday> ok this is the one question does that problem have to do with the matrox card or with the sata drive
[10:46] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: which graphics chipset do you have?
[10:46] <bigjohntoday> because theoretically ubuntu claims it has support for both, seemingly enough it seems their is no support for either l
[10:46] <kharloss> hi . what`s wrong in this eth0  configuration ?
[10:46] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Lol. I really don't know. :(
[10:46] <soundray> christianp: how are you getting on?
[10:46] <kharloss> http://www.nomorepasting.com/paste.php?pasteID=74667
[10:46] <mwe> iGadget: yeah. because the installer will install a kernel and grub and make you able to boot that. so I defenately think it would work
[10:47] <christianp> soundray: sorry, a veri slow internet connection
[10:47] <Hasrat_Usa> Vlet can you type the bios version information one more time?
[10:47] <christianp> soundray: http://pastebin.com/887574
[10:47] <iGadget> mwe: allright, I'll try that then. Thanks!
[10:47] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: BIOS: 2.1.0 (12/04/06)
[10:47] <Hasrat_Usa> when did you buy the PC?
[10:47] <mwe> iGadget: you're welcome
[10:47] <Hasrat_Usa> okay that's not important
[10:47] <Hasrat_Usa> oh
[10:47] <Hasrat_Usa> f***
[10:47] <kharloss> i have 2 computers in my LAN   a web server and this comp i`m typing now .  i can connect using ssh  but this computer doesn` t have an internet connection
[10:47] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: possibly the Intel GMA950, but I can't be sure. Start with finding that out, as that link talks about that particular chipset
[10:47] <Hasrat_Usa> it's 2.1.0?
[10:47] <Vlet> lol
[10:47] <kharloss> what`s wrng ?
[10:47] <Vlet> yes
[10:48] <soundray> christianp: that pastebin is slow. I'm getting it now, but I recommend http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[10:48] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: Brand new system arrived from dell today
[10:48] <christianp> soundray: thanks, next time i 'll use it ;)
[10:48] <kennethlove> hey ianmcorvidae
[10:48] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: I just found this, but I haven't even read it yet:http://www.kodeks.hr/Assets/Pdf/inspiron_6400.pdf
[10:48] <StoneNote> linuxnewbie756 (1) sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/aliases (2) Find the line: alias net-pf-10 ipv6  (3) Edit this to: alias net-pf-10 off  (4) Save the file and reboot
[10:48] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Wrong link. Sorry: http://yergler.net/Ubuntu_on_the_Inspiron_E1505
[10:48] <linuxnewbie756> stonenote, i have tried this, not sure if it works, some way to test it?
[10:49] <soundray> christianp: okay, it looks like you should try a 'sudo rm /etc/rc2.d/K09samba', then try 'sudo apt-get -f install' again.
[10:49] <christianp> ok, i'm trying...
[10:49] <Hasrat_Usa> Vlet do a flash bios upgrade by running the following program from Windows XP http://ftp.us.dell.com/bios/O745-020100.EXE and make proper note of any change you see. the date should be changed to 2/2/2007 after the update
[10:49] <Senderbasic> by Network Solutions
[10:50] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: I was just about to say, it's interesting how the version on the support site is timestamped 2/2/07 even though it's still 2.1.0 :)
[10:50] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: doing so now..
[10:50] <ianmcorvidae> Ok, so I need someone who can guide me through a mysql server install; I've attempted the apt-get install and the Ubuntu wiki instructions for installing from source, but I keep having problems connecting to the server via rubygems and rake after it's installed.
[10:50] <Senderbasic> OMG! wtf lol, we have all the solutions 4youinGPL :)
[10:50] <geek-wannabe> fxfritz: ya, that was the parent link to the one I sent you, lol
[10:50] <Hasrat_Usa> Vlet i strongly believe that they have released an updated version of the very same Bios twice. and the most latest one contains the necessary fixes
[10:51] <mwe> anyone good with udev? what's persistant input rules about?
[10:51] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Oh. hehe. :-P
[10:51] <Vlet> ianmcorvidae: from a terminal, can you execute: mysql -u root -p
[10:51] <Vlet> ianmcorvidae: hit enter when asked for the PW
[10:51] <geek-wannabe> fxfritz: looks like you either have the Intel GMA950, or a Radeon you may have ordered when you configged the notebook from Dell.
[10:52] <Hasrat_Usa> Vlet i will be extremely frustrated if XP tells you that no upgrade is necessary because your bios is up-to-date
[10:52] <ianmcorvidae> it's not installed at the moment, as it was not working with several different installation methods
[10:52] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: I have a feeling it's Intel.
[10:52] <ianmcorvidae> should I reinstall some random way and then get back to you?
[10:52] <geek-wannabe> fxfritz: if the GMA950, then follow the instructions on the link I sent
[10:52] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: Nope, XP took it fine
[10:52] <soundray> ianmcorvidae: not random, use the ubuntu way ;)
[10:53] <Senderbasic> cafuego?<|>nehneh.
[10:53] <ianmcorvidae> heh, ok. I'll presume that means apt-get
[10:53] <soundray> ianmcorvidae: yes
[10:53] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: booting the livecd..
[10:53] <bigz> hey anyone know how i would go about mounting a few folder within vmware to share in ubuntu?...
[10:53] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Hmm. Which link was that again? I'm sorry. :(
[10:53] <StoneNote> linuxnewbie756 on freebsd I'd type "sysctl net.inet6" in a console. if I get a return ipv6 is working otherwise it will return an error.  I'm getting "error: "net.inet6" is an unknown key" on my box
[10:54] <Senderbasic> rev in 326424,279
[10:54] <Hasrat_Usa> and to sum it up all, Vlet, the problems with my USB devices simply vanished after the upgrade
[10:54] <eltech> hah.. have a co-worker loving ubuntu .. i loaded it on a spare laptop we had in the network room :P
[10:54] <Hasrat_Usa> okay let's pray :P
[10:54] <_aleXa_> regards from Serbian LoCo

[10:55] <Thug-N-Me> mount: unknown filesystem type ''  its what i get
[10:55] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Alright, I'm gonna go do that now. Thank you!

[10:56] <davidgw7> i was woundering if its to early to upgrade to 7.4 ?
[10:57] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: null news.. still nothing when I ctrl-alt-f1.. so now it's tough to say whether it is infact going to a terminal and I'm not seeing it, or if the usb is still (or for that matter, ever) screwed
[10:57] <_aleXa_> no, stay on 6,10
[10:57] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: ATI X1300 Pro
[10:57] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: no problem...
[10:57] <soundray> davidgw7: on a production machine? Yes. If you want to help testing and debugging? No, go ahead!
[10:57] <Thug-N-Me> soundray yeah .. im so stupid ..i should know that i have to specify the type file system
[10:57] <Thug-N-Me> soundray thanks

[10:57] <_aleXa_> feisti fawn iz not stable jet
[10:57] <Vlet> Yes :)
[10:57] <Hasrat_Usa> is it the 32 bit version of Ubuntu that you're trying to use?
[10:58] <mwe> Thug-N-Me: yeah put  nfs defaults 0 0 or something after that. if it's nfs
[10:58] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: oh!! I just double checked, and, I'm so sorry, it's 6.06.1

[10:59] <soundray> davidgw7: Herd 4 is very testable
[10:59] <Xanatus> hi, anyone knows how i can change a parm of a module ?
[10:59] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: I have another ubuntu system with a burner in it, upon which I have iso's of several versions, and I must had make a typ-o when doing the burn. I'm so sorry to have wasted your time :(

[11:00] <jeff22> hi, where can I get a copy of the gnome-ppp package?
[11:00] <soundray> davidgw7: you may want to join #ubuntu+1 to see what kind of trouble people are having.
[11:00] <rico-ch> download it :D
[11:00] <Xanatus> for instance i need to change
[11:00] <mwe> !it | Hrz1
[11:00] <ubotu> Hrz1: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[11:00] <_aleXa_> sory for bad english
[11:00] <Xanatus> parm:           associate:auto associate when scanning (default 0 off) (int)
[11:00] <SamePaul> great. I'm stuck for 2 hours here and nobody can help me? :\
[11:00] <Hasrat_Usa> but LTS shouldn't be the cause of the problem though. however, numerous people were unable to even boot off LTS and their number is increasing day by day
[11:00] <Xanatus> in my wireless setting
[11:00] <Hasrat_Usa> lol it's okay vlet
[11:00] <Siegfried_> how can you terminate an fgets to stdin in a SIGINT handler?  without using longjump
[11:00] <Xanatus> SamePaul what's your problem ?
[11:00] <geek-wannabe> I'm trying to customize Ubuntu Live 6.10. When I try to loop mount the stock squashfs, I'm getting an error "mount: not a directory" - but I'm pretty sure the directory exists. Any ideas?
[11:00] <madd_matt> Rather quick question, there's a gui version of sudo, something like gksudo?
[11:00] <Hasrat_Usa> listen burn this >>> ubuntu edgy eft 6.10 32 bit version, (not the 64 bit dual core one)
[11:00] <mwe> geek-wannabe: what's the mount command?
[11:00] <soundray> SamePaul: still the wireless issue?
[11:01] <SamePaul> Xanatus: Installing Wireless NIC (Intel 2200BG)
[11:01] <SamePaul> soundray: yes
[11:01] <soundray> !wireless | SamePaul, have you seen this?
[11:01] <ubotu> SamePaul, have you seen this?: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[11:01] <_aleXa_> sudo nautilus and open hide folders
[11:01] <Hasrat_Usa> okay Vlet i hope to meet you here in this channel once again. right now i gotta go home and do some s*** household chores lol but i will be back :)
[11:01] <_aleXa_> then you see
[11:01] <SamePaul> soundray: yes. Gone for reading
[11:01] <geek-wannabe> mwe: sudo mount -t squashfs -o loop mnt/casper/filesystem.squashfs squashfs
[11:02] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Did you come across directions for how to do the ATI chipset?
[11:02] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: and I have to go pick up the girl. I'm burning 6.10 now, so yeah, we'll pick this up soon :)
[11:02] <Hasrat_Usa> long live 6.10 :)
[11:02] <Vlet> hah :)
[11:02] <eat_books> hey everyone. sorry for the stupid question, but can anyone tell me how to get to my icons folder, please?
[11:02] <Hasrat_Usa> GNOME forever!
[11:02] <mwe> geek-wannabe: and squashfs is the mount point?
[11:02] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: no, didn't see those. Is that what you have?
[11:02] <bigjohntoday> does ubuntu use smp kernels as well?
[11:03] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Yeah. I was following the other directions and it was like "ATI Chipset Detected" :-P
[11:03] <Hasrat_Usa> bigjohntoday yes
[11:03] <mwe> geek-wannabe: you need to specify a proper mount point
[11:03] <Xanatus> do ifconfig -a, see what interface is the wireless card, then do ifconfig <interface> up, then do iwconfig, see if it went up, then go to your router, see what channel it's broadcasting on, or else do iwlist <interface> scan to see the channel, then do iwconfig <interface> channel <channel of the router>, then give it a few seconds like ten seconds, then do dhclient <interface>
[11:03] <Xanatus> see if that makes the wireless work... if not let me know
[11:03] <bigjohntoday> if so i am using kernel version 2.6.17-10 what would the smp of that be? i know smp is used for multi cpu support
[11:03] <geek-wannabe> mwe: I think so. the previous step was mkdir squashfs
[11:03] <TheMonkeyMoo> bigjohntoday, Ubuntu uses a generic kernel that obsoletes the SMP kernel. at least that's what it installed on my centrino duo
[11:03] <soundray> eat_books: do you mean /usr/share/pixmaps
[11:03] <SamePaul> soundray: but there is no Intel 2200BG
[11:03] <soundray> bigjohntoday: 2.6.17 has SMP by default
[11:03] <bigjohntoday> themonkey: that what in the world is causing my system not to load?
[11:03] <mwe> geek-wannabe: hmm.
[11:03] <eat_books> soundray, i have no idea what i mean. i'm a newb. thanks, i will check this out
[11:04] <TheMonkeyMoo> bigjohn, I don't know
[11:04] <Xanatus> SamePaul i believe in that cause you would have a driver that's called ipw2200
[11:04] <mwe> geek-wannabe: ls, though. check the existense of the file as well
[11:04] <bigjohntoday> i wish i did lol, it eisther goes into a "panic mode" or into busybox mode never loads!
[11:04] <soundray> SamePaul: see if the driver is loaded: 'lsmod | grep ipw2200'
[11:04] <SamePaul> Xanatus: I tried it. Can't compile it :(
[11:04] <tehxed> Xanatus, AIM?
[11:04] <soundray> SamePaul: you don't have to compile. Ubuntu comes with that driver.
[11:05] <Xanatus> net died again
[11:05] <eat_books> soundray, it worked! thanks!
[11:05] <Xanatus> arg
[11:05] <techie1> Can anybody comment? I tried installing my ubuntu 6.10 in a double boot with windows xp. After the first couple of install questions, country, region, it stopped? Should I have partitioned some space first for Ubuntu? I thought Ubuntu would automatically 50/50 partitioned the empty space with the other os?
[11:05] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Actually I found it.
[11:05] <TheMonkeyMoo> bigjohn, although I'm actually using 2.17.11 generic
[11:05] <kharloss> i guess i was hacked
[11:05] <davidgw7> i had a problem with 6.10 64 bit not wanting to load on my system even dapper loaded fine so i went to the i 386 wersion
[11:05] <Xanatus> SamePaul, did you try what i just said ?
[11:05] <kharloss>  i found on my webserver a folder
[11:05] <kharloss> what ca ni do now ?
[11:06] <StoneNote> SamePaul, this didn't work? http://www.debuntu.org/2006/03/27/9-how-to-ipw2200-getting-intel-pro-wireless-2200-bg-to-work-on-debian-ubuntu
[11:06] <soundray> techie1: it should have offered you to partition at that point. Have you got enough memory?
[11:06] <chiefbearclaw> http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2369893842637434537&q=installing+ubuntu  -  dual booting video.
[11:06] <kharloss> a folder named munin
[11:06] <kharloss> http://munin.projects.linpro.no/
[11:06] <kharloss> here is a link
[11:06] <bigjohntoday> themonkey: what version of ubuntu?
[11:06] <Xanatus> sorry
[11:06] <Xanatus> back
[11:06] <kharloss> why a hacker did instaled this on my server ?
[11:06] <TheMonkeyMoo> bigjohn 6.10
[11:06] <geek-wannabe> mwe: yes, ls shows the dir squashfs. Also, the ISO is loop mounted in mnt, and the filesystem.squashfs file is in there
[11:06] <Xanatus> SamePaul did you try the steps i sad a while ago ?
[11:06] <SamePaul> soundray: driver is not loaded. lsmod does not list it
[11:07] <Xanatus> ah
[11:07] <Xanatus> then that's a problem
[11:07] <Xanatus> but SamePaul, what do you get in ifconfig -a ?
[11:07] <bigjohntoday> hmm..... i feel like drop kicking this pc
[11:07] <SamePaul> Xanatus: I don't have driver installed. Otherwise it would be simpler :)
[11:08] <soundray> SamePaul: which version of ubuntu do you have?
[11:08] <bigz> hey anyone know how i would go about mounting a few folder within vmware to share in ubuntu?...
[11:08] <SamePaul> Xanatus: lo eth0 sit0
[11:08] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: From all of us to all of you, for this great contribution we thank you (thanks!)
[11:08] <SamePaul> soundray: 6.10
[11:08] <StoneNote> Senderbasic, send money
[11:09] <soundray> bigz: the reason you don't get any responses is that your question is confusing. Try to say what you want to do without using the words "mounting" and "share".
[11:09] <ianmcorvidae> ok, so attempting to fix an unrelated problem, I seem to have broken dpkg and apt-get. When I try to run anything with apt, it tells me to run dpkg --configure -a to fix it, but that hangs after informing me "invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "start" failed".
[11:09] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: Send me some first :)
[11:09] <dick_> I have a kodak c875 and am having problems mounting it cause i can't find any drivers that support it. anyone have any ideas
[11:09] <davidgw7> has any one had problems with the 6.10 64 bit version not running the live cd just get a grey distorted ubuntu load slpash but the system just sits there ?
[11:09] <Xanatus> SamePaul
[11:09] <Xanatus> this should solve your problem
[11:09] <Xanatus> http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Install_ipw2200
[11:09] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: ive gotten 20 Swedish crowners for my work so i guess its worth alot / Joking :)
[11:10] <tehxed> So...
[11:10] <soundray> SamePaul: 'locate ipw2200.ko' should show you that the driver module is in fact present on your system. No need to compile.
[11:10] <Senderbasic> Stone: thats the stuff youll find at www.gadmintools.org
[11:10] <tehxed> Anyone know of a problem with the sound working on and off?
[11:10] <Xanatus> i'm googling it tehxed
[11:10] <webmaren> what is xfree86-dri
[11:10] <webmaren> beryl won't work without it
[11:10] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: I got it to work! Thank you! I found a site where it gave me like four commands to type and it worked great.
[11:10] <tehxed> I have a Gateway MX7118 Laptop, with Ubuntu Edgy 6.10 installed.
[11:10] <tehxed> Xanatus, thanks!
[11:10] <confrey> hi everybody
[11:10] <geek-wannabe> mwe: fyi, I'm following the wiki at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization/6%2e06
[11:11] <StoneNote> Senderbasic, I'm impressed to no ends
[11:11] <Senderbasic> Stone: can be a pain when servers obsolete options so youll have to seamlessly change those for thousands of hosts ;)
[11:11] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: great!
[11:11] <SamePaul> soundray: where it is supposed to be? :)
[11:11] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: i know you arent but thanks anyway
[11:11] <dick_> I have a kodak c875 and am having problems mounting it cause i can't find any drivers that support it. anyone have any ideas
[11:12] <dyrne> tehxed: not a solution but if you cant fix it feisty does come out in april..  its pretty stable i havent run into problems (have it on laptop and desktop/server)
[11:12] <confrey> I've installed edgy from alternate cd, as server system; I can't use wifi pcmcia, the same hardware works on ubuntu installed as desktop, what can I do?
[11:12] <soundray> SamePaul: now run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog &' and do a 'sudo modprobe ipw2200' (ideally in another terminal)
[11:12] <Pelo> !restricted
[11:12] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[11:12] <SamePaul> Xanatus: I tried something very close. But 'make' of ipw2200 fails. It says that can't find "ieee80211.h'
[11:12] <tehxed> what's fiesty?
[11:12] <dyrne> tehxed: ubuntu 7.04
[11:12] <tehxed> dyrne, it's odd. it works only now and then. at random
[11:13] <SamePaul> soundray: one moment
[11:13] <soundray> SamePaul: if you get any error messages, try to make sense of them yourself or put them on the pastebin
[11:13] <tehxed> dyrne, where do i get ubuntu 7.04
[11:13] <soundray> !feisty | tehxed
[11:13] <Xanatus> SamePaul then you probably need to install iee80211
[11:13] <ubotu> tehxed: The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha. Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyReleaseSchedule - Specifications (goals): https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/feisty - Help in #ubuntu+1
[11:13] <bigjohntoday> one more question could it be an issue of the drive is on sata and my DVD rom is on primary master (could this be causing my ubuntu system not to load?>)
[11:13] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: You will be, you will be as the mighty jojodyne said :) .. We are making bindings that will seamlessly just bind :)
[11:13] <Xanatus> SamePaul if you read the whole thing you will see that you will be installing ieee82011 through the tutorial
[11:13] <StoneNote> tehxed, a young lady I know is feisty, and it's also the version of ubutnu they are working on. see #ubuntu+1
[11:13] <Jordan_U> I think that the xubuntu iso is currupt, I have downloaded it, burned it, and md5 summed it many times and it still ALWAYS boots with the error "invalid or currupt kernel"
[11:14] <soundray> Xanatus: please don't confuse while he's trying to load the stock kernel driver.
[11:14] <tehxed> I have a Gateway MX7118 Laptop, with Ubuntu Edgy 6.10 installed. The problem is that the sound is in and out. If I restart it goes out.  How can remove I the lock and restore apt-get's functionality?
[11:14] <soundray> Feisty is not released yet. See the topic
[11:14] <Xanatus> soundray: he doesn't have the ipw2200 driver installed and he needs it, without it, doing other stuff won't help much in my opinion
[11:14] <Jordan_U> dick_: It is the newest stable release
[11:14] <dick_> so why are people talking about ubuntu 7
[11:14] <dick_> ahhh
[11:14] <davidgw7> it is the newes stable version
[11:14] <dick_> gotcah
[11:15] <blaze> lol
[11:15] <StoneNote> TwoPints, dpkg --configure -a
[11:15] <davidgw7> beta testers mostly
[11:15] <StoneNote> sudo that
[11:15] <Xanatus> soundray: and that tutorial should get his wireless working regardless of what point he is on as it will set it up from scratch
[11:15] <soundray> Xanatus: ipw2200 is part of stock 6.10. What makes you think that he doesn't have it?
[11:15] <blaze> !iPod
[11:15] <ubotu> For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod
[11:15] <blaze> I <3 ubotu
[11:15] <TwoPints> StoneNote: thanks!
[11:15] <bigjohntoday> !DVI
[11:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dvi - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:15] <blaze> :(
[11:15] <Jordan_U> StoneNote: How will that help TwoPints?
[11:16] <SamePaul> soundray: I have it indeed.
[11:16] <TwoPints> no it didnt work :(
[11:16] <tehxed> Hello?
[11:16] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: is it like this: Server+another server == 2x the risk, server +server+webinterface multiply the risks by about 4-10 ?
[11:16] <tehxed> oh,sorry
[11:16] <Xanatus> (05:07:45 PM) SamePaul: Xanatus: I don't have driver installed. Otherwise it would be simpler :)
[11:16] <dick_> can some one level with me, Is there anything i can do for my kodak easy share c875 since i can't find any drivers to mount it, or am i just screwed?
[11:16] <SamePaul> soundray: it does not looks like it have serious hw problem.
[11:16] <Xanatus> that makes me think he doesn't have the driver..
[11:16] <Xanatus> his own words ?
[11:17] <SamePaul> Xanatus: I didn't know it then :)
[11:17] <bigjohntoday> again does ubuntu have an issue being installed on SATA when the primary master IDE is the DVD? could this cause the system not to load?
[11:17] <Jordan_U> TwoPints: You need to delete the file /etc/dpkg/lock ( I think that is the correct path ) if you are SURE no other program is running that would have a lock.
[11:17] <StoneNote> TwoPints, sorry. I thought that's what I did when I lost power during an apt-get upgrade
[11:17] <TheMonkeyMoo> bigjohn, that I do not know. I have it installed on a SATA HDD in a dual boot configuration with XP media center edition (on two separate drives). it is in a laptop so I assume that the DVD drive ( only IDE device in the machine) is master on its own chain.
[11:17] <Xanatus> all i know is that that tutorial seems rather simple and straighfoward, and trying to patch the problem seems rather complicated...
[11:17] <soundray> Xanatus: always interpret what you read
[11:17] <dick_> I guess since noone is answering i take it, that there is nothing that can be done to mount my camra
[11:17] <Xanatus> i'd normally go the easy way
[11:18] <bigjohntoday> is SATA represented by HD0 or sda or what?
[11:18] <TheMonkeyMoo> sda
[11:18] <SamePaul> soundray: "can't create /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.eth0.leases: Permission denied"
[11:18] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: Hence cli is the safest way not utilizing an sshd but cofiguring it locally, ssh -XC -l into a remote server not running X and adminning Xapps is as secure as running x on the local server
[11:18] <hdibani> hi, iam running edgy, my network-manager does not show me any wireless connections anymore, all i see is wired network.
[11:18] <gop> vmware everytime I reboot    Virtual ethernet                                                   failed
[11:18] <dsquare> help~~ when i try to start a terminal nothing happens! please help?
[11:18] <soundray> SamePaul: that's a different issue. Let's leave that for now.
[11:18] <Xanatus> proof of it is that if you were following the tutorial you'd probably have finished it by now...
[11:18] <SamePaul> soundray: alright. What now?
[11:19] <soundray> SamePaul: open System-Admin-Networking and see if you have a new interface
[11:19] <bigjohntoday> grub shows                            root(hd0,0)  ..nextline.... kernel /boot/vmlinuz....... root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splash ..... so on so forth
[11:19] <StoneNote> Senderbasic, are you just putting my nick in front of random thoughts as they occur to you?
[11:19] <bigjohntoday> so for the root (hd0,0) should that be changed?
[11:19] <soundray> Xanatus: can we agree that I have my turn now, and if it doesn't work, then it'll be yours?
[11:20] <SamePaul> soundray: Nope. Wired, MOdem - that's all
[11:20] <TwoPints> StoneNote: Jordan_U: thanks, i still had a few apt and dpkg processes running, which I killed. now it works
[11:20] <Xanatus> soundray: i'm not worried about turns... i already posted the tutorial to solve his problem, if he ever wants to follow it, it's up to him
[11:20] <TheMonkeyMoo> bigjohn; I'm not sure. I am still a relative newbie and have not had the pleasure of having to dig through GRUB config files or error messages.
[11:20] <SamePaul> soundray: wait a minute. It wants me to restart after update
[11:21] <solarce> Xanatus will lead you to do the darkside with his reading of howtos and guides
[11:21] <bigjohntoday> I am the point where I feel that windows is the only os that is going to work with the system but I am trying to avoid windows at all costs......
[11:21] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: No, i guess it was a reply from someone just after you told em howto... slight mixup it seems
[11:21] <solarce> the light side is about bugging people in irc until they die of brain anuerisms from fustration
[11:21] <solarce> +r
[11:22] <Senderbasic> Sorry StoneNote, mixup
[11:22] <hdibani> can somebody help please, network-manager show no wireless, iwlist shows me available networks so i guess the wifi card works
[11:22] <Xanatus> lol solarce
[11:22] <geek-wannabe> I'm trying to customize Ubuntu Live 6.10. When I try to loop mount the stock squashfs, I'm getting an error "mount: not a directory" - but I'm pretty sure the directory exists. Any ideas? I'm following the wiki at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization/6%2e06 and this is the "Extracting the Desktop system" step. These instructions are for the 6.06 iso, not sure if that's an issue.
[11:22] <SamePaul> Xanatus, soundray:  It's not an issue :) I copied link to browser. If soundray will not succeed I'll try tutorial
[11:23] <madd_matt> geek-wannabe, not a directory indicates its a file?  Perhaps you did "touch" instead of "mkdir"?
[11:23] <Xanatus> i just care that your wireless works
[11:23] <bigjohntoday> Here is a question who here really think they are a ubuntu/linux guru? honestly
[11:23] <acid_phyre> hello everyone i am wondering how u would go on running a irc server hybrid on kubuntu
[11:23] <Xanatus> not who goes about doing it....
[11:23] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: i have said im sorry 1 or 2 times in about 18 years, so thats gonna count i hope :)
[11:23] <aSt3raL> wow the new feisty updates hosed my system
[11:23] <SamePaul> Xanatus: I know. And I appreciate it. Really
[11:23] <geek-wannabe> madd_matt: did mkdir, which is why I'm confused
[11:23] <solarce> bigjohntoday: everyone who is one
[11:23] <aSt3raL> i installed the updates for feisty and i can see no windows
[11:23] <mwe> geek-wannabe: spelled it correctly both times and in lower case?
[11:24] <nutterpc> bigjohntoday: linux can be made to work on any system, all you need is patience
[11:24] <Senderbasic> bigjohntoday: Gogogo!
[11:24] <tehxed> I have a Gateway MX7118 Laptop, with Ubuntu Edgy 6.10 installed. The problem is that the sound is in and out. If I restart it goes out. If I restart again, it comes back... only sometimes.
[11:24] <solarce> aSt3raL: isn't the the point of installing linux?
[11:24] <StoneNote> Senderbasic, np.  just doing a reality check. :)
[11:24] <yell0w> bigjohntoday, what do you want to do ?
[11:24] <bigjohntoday> I have googled the life out of this error
[11:24] <colbert> Hello, can someone point me to the Ubuntu Wiki that shows how to restore GRUB after a Windows installation???
[11:24] <geek-wannabe> mwe: yes, checked it carefully.
[11:24] <StoneNote> and I didn't fail by too much
[11:24] <soundray> Xanatus: still, we should coordinate our efforts so my suggestions don't defeat yours and vice versa.
[11:24] <aSt3raL> solarce:  what?
[11:24] <nutterpc> bigjohntoday: what error
[11:24] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: Am i awesome, yes... can i be beaten, yes.. can you do it.. no ;)
[11:24] <acid_phyre> does anyone know how to run a irc server in hybrid with ubuntu?
[11:24] <mwe> geek-wannabe: can you cd squashfs?
[11:25] <gnomefreak> Senderbasic: join #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:25] <soundray> aSt3raL: please ask feisty questions in #ubuntu+1
[11:25] <geek-wannabe> mwe: yes, just did it, worked
[11:25] <mwe> geek-wannabe: odd
[11:25] <bigjohntoday> the error is /bin/sh can't access tty; job contorl turned off
[11:25] <DemisM> how can I get my memorystick to read?
[11:25] <SamePaul> soundray: Driver 'ipw2200' needs updating - plkease use bus_type methods
[11:25] <Skrot> Anyone running a LUKS-encrypted root around?
[11:25] <solarce> Xanatus: they should award you beer credits for helping in here
[11:25] <geek-wannabe> mwe: I know. 6.06 vs. 6.10 - should be OK right?
[11:25] <DemisM> or how can I read from my memory stick?
[11:26] <solarce> I should talk to jono about that
[11:26] <soundray> SamePaul: okay, I think it's time to try Xanatus' way
[11:26] <nutterpc> bigjohntoday: you sure you ain't got something turned off in the kernel, that seems like a kernel issue
[11:26] <Senderbasic>  don't tug on supermans cape, don't spit into the wind
 True that, i never do without the eye in irony
[11:26] <SamePaul> soundray: :) damned
[11:26] <geek-wannabe> mwe: the wiki is for the 6.06 iso, my iso is 6.10.....
[11:26] <soundray> SamePaul: hope you get it running. I have to be off
[11:26] <bigjohntoday> I am sure, what i do know is that i am runninga  matrox g550 dual dvi card
[11:26] <soundray> see you all
[11:27] <SamePaul> soundray: thanks. see you
[11:27] <mwe> geek-wannabe: well still you should think it would mount a squashfs unless it's related to the version of squashfs
[11:27] <bigjohntoday> and I am sure that is causing all the problems, but how i fix it .... i dont know
[11:27] <Arafangion> Does the ubuntu installer allow me to resize my disk?
[11:27] <geek-wannabe> mwe: good point....
[11:27] <Arafangion> My disk partitions that is.  They're in fat32, I'm guessing that it will be better to convert them to NTFS *after* resizing?
[11:27] <blaze> Arafangion,  yes
[11:28] <nutterpc> bigjohntoday: its not not fixable
[11:28] <mwe> geek-wannabe: I think it's picky
[11:28] <geek-wannabe> mwe: maybe I should boot using the live CD and try it?
[11:28] <colbert> Hello, can someone point me to the Ubuntu Wiki that shows how to restore GRUB after a Windows installation???
[11:28] <Komodor> My friend tried to install ubuntu 6.10, and it took him into DOS after booting from the CD (I had him configure his BIOS to boot from his CD drive first) are there any solutions?
[11:28] <bigjohntoday> ok so if it is not fixable then I assume that i cannot use ubuntu on this box?
[11:28] <mudpark> anyone know how to get the latest version of Beryl working with XGL?
[11:28] <Arafangion> blaze: Thanks.  Had to wipe my system and reinstall windows just to play ONE crap game (for uni) :(
[11:28] <nutterpc> bigjohntoday: it meant that there is a way it could be fixed
[11:28] <blaze> yeah that sucks, you should be fine tho,
[11:28] <gnomefreak> mudpark: join #ubuntu-effects for beryl help please
[11:29] <ashrok> @colbert i installed windows first then ubuntu.otherway i couldnt do it :)
[11:29] <geek-wannabe> madd_matt: any other ideas?
[11:29] <Squee> Is there any way to enumerate samba shares and rights on linux?
[11:29] <mwe> geek-wannabe: does the live cd have squashfs?
[11:29] <Arafangion> Squee: What do you mean by "enumerate"?
[11:29] <madd_matt> geek-wannabe, try cd to the directory, see what happens?
[11:29] <Arafangion> ashrok: The other way needs some grub tricks. ;)
[11:29] <aSt3raL> how can i change the window manager from command line?
[11:29] <Squee> Arafangion, look up what shares are available for me to write to and read from
[11:29] <bigjohntoday> well i googled that error to death... but i can't find an answer
[11:29] <geek-wannabe> madd_matt: yes, cd works
[11:29] <ashrok> must be so :)
[11:30] <geek-wannabe> mwe: yes
[11:30] <madd_matt> geek-wannabe, then its something else.  No clue ;)
[11:30] <mwe> geek-wannabe: well you could try
[11:30] <geek-wannabe> madd_matt: thanks anyway
[11:30] <mwe> geek-wannabe: it's my best guess but I don't know
[11:30] <geek-wannabe> mwe: thanks
[11:30] <rhys> ok anyone who knows where the network-managers default WPA supplicant file is?
[11:30] <Arafangion> Squee: I've never needed to do so - not for a long time, but you could try: smbclient -L computername
[11:30] <redbox> Squee: smbclient -L hostip
[11:31] <cafuego_> rhys: it doesn't have one
[11:31] <Squee> Arafangion: Yea, but I need to do it for about 70 - 100 computers
[11:31] <Arafangion> redbox: -L isn't by ip.
[11:31] <allan_> hello
[11:31] <redbox> Arafangion: you sure?
[11:31] <rhys> cafuego_ then could you tell me how i can make it use a different wpa_supplicant driver ?
[11:31] <cafuego_> rhys: networkmanager stores stuff in the gconf database i think,
[11:31] <Arafangion> Squee: Try looking for an smb browser or something, try apt-cache browse | grep smb or something
[11:31] <allan_> can someone help me set up apache
[11:31] <allan_> please
[11:31] <Arafangion> redbox: Check the man page :)
[11:31] <rhys> im guessing that by default it uses wext driver. it needs to use something else
[11:31] <mwe> allan_: sudo aptitude install apache2
[11:32] <fb_> hello! I'm a newcomer , would like some help on my xubuntu
[11:32] <rhys> gconf ? right then
[11:32] <allan_> ok
[11:32] <redbox> Arafangion: ip works for me
[11:32] <mwe> allan_: then browse to localhost
[11:32] <allan_> but how do i set it up
[11:32] <cafuego_> rhys: Hmmm, good question. Not sure.
[11:32] <allan_> what command can i do to find the local host
[11:32] <Arafangion> redbox: Perhaps it /also/ works.
[11:32] <cafuego_> allan_: You edit files in /etc/apache2/*
[11:32] <redbox> Arafangion: then what is your point :)
[11:32] <mwe> allan_: firefox localhost
[11:32] <allan_> ?
[11:32] <Arafangion> redbox: Correctness. :)
[11:32] <mwe> allan_: installing it will set up defaults and start apache
[11:32] <Arafangion> redbox: Which, when you're a programmer, is critically important :)
[11:33] <nicolah> anyone here works with .crw files ? (raw canon)
[11:33] <allan_> ok when i start it from command liine how do i find it on the web
[11:33] <allan_> what is the addres
[11:33] <mwe> allan_: typing firefox localhost will open localhost. type that, litterally
[11:33] <ianmcorvidae> ok, I'm back with a mysql problem. I've got it installed and supposedly running; mysql -u root -p brings me to a prompt, and gem install mysql completed sucessfully; however, when I attempt to rake db:migrate, it tells me "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)". What's going on and how do I fix it?
[11:33] <anton> how do i run everything in cups as root?
[11:33] <anton> i provide cupsd.conf with User root option but i am told in /var/log/cups/error_log that it is insecure :\
[11:33] <anton> how do i force it to obey? :S
[11:33] <StoneNote> allan_, localhost is another way of saying <IP_ADDRESS> aka your loopback address. leave it to computer geeks to come up with three ways to say the same thing (watch someone point out there are two others I missed)
[11:33] <nutterpc> robert timms premium freeze dried coffee = nectar of the gods
[11:33] <Skrot> How can I find out exactly which module is used by my S-ATA controller?
[11:33] <aSt3raL> how do i change the gnome window manager from a command line?
[11:34] <Arafangion> StoneNote: <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:34] <allan_> so tell me if this is correct htp://202.124.342.org or what
[11:34] <allan_> that an example
[11:34] <Arafangion> StoneNote: THough, not by wide convention ;)
[11:34] <cafuego_> <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:34] <mwe> huh. localhost is <IP_ADDRESS> here
[11:35] <StoneNote> I went to a wide convention once for Big Buttz Magazine.
[11:35] <SamePaul> Xanatus: actually I have problem already at remove_old stage
[11:35] <redbox> Arafangion: from the man page: You use it as smbclient -L host and a list should appear -- though the synopsis shows -L [netbios name]  .. *shrug*
[11:35] <mwe> <IP_ADDRESS> is freja, the hostname
[11:35] <Arafangion> redbox: Indeed.
[11:35] <ianmcorvidae> anyone with mysql help?
[11:35] <StoneNote> ianmcorvidae, ask and see
[11:35] <ianmcorvidae> I did, heh
[11:35] <ianmcorvidae> ok, I'm back with a mysql problem. I've got it installed and supposedly running; mysql -u root -p brings me to a prompt, and gem install mysql completed sucessfully; however, when I attempt to rake db:migrate, it tells me "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)". What's going on and how do I fix it?
[11:35] <Arafangion> StoneNote: He did, 2 seconds ago.
[11:35] <ianmcorvidae> heh.
[11:35] <StoneNote> I missed it
[11:36] <allan_> ?
[11:36] <Arafangion> ianmcorvidae: Well, does /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock exist?
[11:36] <mwe> ianmcorvidae: did you start the server?
[11:36] <ianmcorvidae> it does not.
[11:36] <ianmcorvidae> it is started.
[11:36] <redbox> ianmcorvidae: usually thats along the lines of mysqld not running
[11:37] <mwe> ianmcorvidae: how did you start it?
[11:37] <ianmcorvidae> I've got mysqld_safe and mysqld running.
[11:37] <redbox> ianmcorvidae: ps aux | grep mysql show it?
[11:37] <{Nathan}> when I try to access System -> Admin -> Services, I enter my password and get the error message "You are not allowed to access the system configuration." Any ideas as to how to fix this? I also get this when I access Shared Folders, etc
[11:37] <ianmcorvidae> it started automatically upon my apt-get install.
[11:37] <mwe> ianmcorvidae: I'd sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
[11:37] <Arafangion> ianmcorvidae: What do the logs say?
[11:38] <ianmcorvidae> uh. which logs?
[11:38] <bigjohntoday> ok has anyone used busybox command line
[11:38] <ianmcorvidae> /var/log?
[11:38] <mwe> ianmcorvidae: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart should throw an error if it can't start i think
[11:38] <kane77> how can I paste a wikibook contents into openoffice that it wouldnt display the parts that are marked as nonprint in css??
[11:38] <th_> inux
[11:38] <th_> sorry
[11:38] <Wrongway> hey, I'm trying to follow along with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iPodVideoEncoding but am getting some errors. can someone help me?
[11:38] <ianmcorvidae> mwe: it sure does throw an error.
[11:39] <th_> kane77, I guess you are better off importing it rather than pasting??
[11:39] <mwe> ianmcorvidae: what error?
[11:39] <kane77> th_, well but it still displays the [edit]  links and all the stuff...
[11:39] <Xzenome> Wrongway, join #ubuntu-classroom and I'll try to help you.
[11:39] <ianmcorvidae> it stops it, but simply gives me "* Starting MySQL database server mysqld   [fail] "
[11:40] <blaze> Hello again.
[11:40] <ianmcorvidae> and then brings me back to bash
[11:40] <mwe> ianmcorvidae: sudo killall all the daemons and retry /etc/init.d/mysql restart. if it still doesn't work check /var/log/mysql.err
[11:40] <DjBrix> Hi guys me again
[11:40] <DjBrix> I need some help
[11:41] <ernz> Hi - Can I get Ubuntu help in here?
[11:41] <mwe> !helpme
[11:41] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:41] <ianmcorvidae> sudo killall said 'no process killed' for both.
[11:41] <mwe> huh
[11:41] <mwe> but ps says it's running
[11:41] <mwe> check the log file
[11:41] <ianmcorvidae> ps does indeed say it's running
[11:41] <AlexFicelle> Hi guys! I'm installing Ubuntu for my brother. He needs a password-protected account per person (no problem), but he also would like to have a password-less account that guests could use, just by clicking its picture in GDM. Is that possible?
[11:41] <mwe> killall -9 them
[11:41] <mwe> and check the log file
[11:41] <DjBrix> I instaled linux as a server and it has internet via i.c.s. from windows, and i want people over net to access the linux
[11:42] <th_> AlexFicelle, it is possible at least if you use KDM I am not sure about GDM
[11:42] <imbecile> i think im lagginnng ooouuutt
[11:42] <ernz> OK, I have seen this problem twice now. all I want to do is add some programs to the startup programs list in Sessions, but every time I try a new entry isn't saved. HELP! :)
[11:42] <imbecile> nope
[11:42] <imbecile> hehe
[11:42] <th_> of course it is very insecure if the computer is in a public place.
[11:42] <ianmcorvidae> there is not a single thing in /var/log/mysql.err.
[11:42] <ianmcorvidae> it's an empty file
[11:42] <AlexFicelle> th_: OK. How do you do that in KDM?
[11:42] <ianmcorvidae> likewise mysql.log
[11:42] <th_> AlexFicelle, just create a user with an empty password (just press Enter for the password)
[11:42] <mwe> odd
[11:43] <techie1> Hello all. Can anybody help? I am trying to install Ubuntu 6.10 into a computer already with windows xp.
[11:43] <th_> techie1, that should be easy
[11:43] <mwe> ianmcorvidae: sudo killall -9 the persistant processes
[11:43] <AlexFicelle> th_: I can't do that. He won't allow an account without a password.
[11:43] <DjBrix> I instaled linux as a server and it has internet via i.c.s. from windows, and i want people over net to access the linux
[11:43] <th_> just use the resize option ofthe installer
[11:43] <ianmcorvidae> ok
[11:43] <th_> AlexFicelle, I thought you wanted him to log in without a password?
[11:43] <ianmcorvidae> once again, 'no process killed'
[11:43] <th_> just disable remote access to the box.
[11:43] <mwe> ianmcorvidae: what did you type?
[11:43] <AlexFicelle> th_: Yes, but I can't create an account without a password.
[11:43] <th_> ssh won't let users login from remote who don't; have a password
[11:43] <ianmcorvidae> sudo killall -9 6800 7001
[11:43] <Alocacoc> techie1: Help with what exactly? Ubuntu should detect the Windows installation and add it to the GRUB bootloader at the end of the process.
[11:43] <mwe> ianmcorvidae: don't
[11:44] <colbert> !grub
[11:44] <ubotu> 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
[11:44] <oggy> anyone have automatix2 url
[11:44] <oggy> :/
[11:44] <AMD-> can ony one help me with my Super_L key it wont work
[11:44] <foxiness> hi , is it safe to use gparted to re-size ntfs partition ?
[11:44] <mwe> ianmcorvidae: sudo kill process id or sudo killall process name
[11:44] <AlexFicelle> th_: That account is going to be way underprivildged. Just for guest, no rights.
[11:44] <mwe> !automatix
the installer asks 6 questions, so after language and region will it automatically partitioned 50/50 for windows xp and ubuntu? Or do I have to use the system rescue and do it manually?
[11:44] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[11:45] <Besnik> hello, can somebody tell me where grub.conf lays under ubuntu?
[11:45] <oggy> !WorksforMe
[11:45] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[11:45] <ianmcorvidae> just do the processes individually?
[11:45] <Alocacoc> Believe it gives the option for you to manually edit he partition table yourself.
[11:45] <AlexFicelle> Besnik: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:45] <DjBrix> i have windows connected to the net and sharing it to linux, linux has apache how can people acces port 80 on linux?
[11:45] <th_> techie1, then edit /etc/shadow and make the password an empty field
[11:45] <oggy> does anyone know where I can get automatix
[11:45] <th_> nothing between the ::'s
[11:45] <Besnik> AlexFicelle, thanx
[11:45] <Alocacoc> the* // xChat... oh you beast.
[11:45] <mwe> ianmcorvidae: you cannot killall a numeric id. that's what kill is for. killall is for the _name_
[11:45] <ianmcorvidae> ok, mysqld and mysqld_safe are dead now
[11:45] <ianmcorvidae> ah, ok
[11:45] <ernz> This problem is really busting my chops now and I would greatly appreciate any input someone can offer.
[11:46] <DjBrix> oggy i think it is apt-get automatix
[11:46] <damiles> join #blendercoders
[11:46] <oggy> thanks
[11:46] <ianmcorvidae> they're gone now, what should I try
[11:46] <DjBrix> oggy i think it is apt-get install automatix
[11:46] <AlexFicelle> th_: Is this for me? Can I just edit /etc/shadow and delete the hash of the password? That's so easy??
[11:46] <SamePaul> ok. I have IPW2200 loaded. But still no wlan0! Any ideas?
[11:46] <mwe> ianmcorvidae: try sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start again
[11:46] <th_> AlexFicelle, I didnt see your question so I am not sure..
[11:46] <Alocacoc> DjBrix: Automatix is on the main repos nowadays?
[11:46] <DjBrix> i have windows connected to the net and sharing it to linux, linux has apache how can people acces port 80 on linux?
[11:46] <Arafangion> ernz: That's because they're not "startup programs"
[11:46] <AlexFicelle> th_: That was about having a user without a password.
[11:46] <techie1> th, i think I got confuse with your editing the "shadow" or were you talking to somebody else?
[11:46] <Arafangion> ernz: They are _sessons_.
[11:47] <th_> AlexFicelle, yeah that should be all
[11:47] <Arafangion> *sessions*
[11:47] <oggy> is on the repos
[11:47] <oggy> ?
[11:47] <SamePaul> Xanatus: Are you alive? :)
[11:47] <oggy> is there a url
[11:47] <ianmcorvidae> precisely the same thing; [fail]  after telling me
[11:47] <oggy> ?
[11:47] <techie1> I thought Ubuntu will automatically give me 50/50 of free space from the previous os?
[11:47] <ianmcorvidae> is there something like --verbose for that?
[11:47] <DjBrix> i have windows connected to the net and sharing it to linux, linux has apache how can people acces port 80 on linux?
[11:47] <mwe> DjBrix: open a browser and type the ip or hostname
[11:47] <mwe> !repeat | DjBrix
[11:47] <ubotu> DjBrix: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[11:48] <DjBrix> mwe it works for me but not for you and others?
[11:48] <royel> AlexFicelle: I think I seen a Howto on howtoforge about creating a ssh enabled account that uses a keygen to login without password.. of course most commands are disabled .. you might want to check it for some ideas on what your looking to do. http://howtoforge.com/nfs_ssh_tunneling
[11:48] <ernz> Arafangion: Nice trying to be cute, but check it out System > Preferences > Sessions > Startup Programs. And then......?
[11:48] <mwe> DjBrix: you mean from the outside?
[11:48] <DjBrix> yes~
[11:48] <oggy> :(
[11:48] <mwe> DjBrix: you probably need to forward the port from your router
[11:48] <LinTux> I installed KDE via sudo apt-get and I cannot find the option to change the screen res, I had it before, any ideas
[11:48] <DjBrix> i dont have router
[11:48] <DjBrix> im on ics via window
[11:48] <AlexFicelle> royel: I don't need SSH access. I just need it to be able to log in locally, from GDM.
[11:49] <Arafangion> ernz: There's a few differences in terminology between the old timers who use linux and the new timers.  I've actually never used that menu there!
[11:49] <mwe> DjBrix: also some ISPs block port 80 from the outside
[11:49] <AlexFicelle> royel: It just needs to be able to open Firefox and browse the web, that's all...
[11:49] <DjBrix> yes but mine does not
[11:49] <mwe> DjBrix: firewall?
