[00:01] <sharperguy> histo, no
[00:01] <sharperguy> histo, Well I mean, not a local one
[00:02] <histo> sharperguy: /etc/init.d/named restart
[00:02] <histo> sharperguy: that will clear its cache
[00:02] <sharperguy> Hikhvar, so ubuntu doesn't cache DNS by default?
[00:02] <alevine> anyone know how to build the Module.symvers file without rebuilding a whole kernel?
[00:03] <sharperguy> histo, see about

[00:04] <histo> sharperguy: what about /etc/init.d/nscd restart
[00:04] <trimeta> When I hit Win+1, Win+2, and Win+3, my screen zooms in to various levels. How can I disable this? It's not listed in the main Keyboard Shortcuts applet.
[00:04] <deuonderer> does anybody knows how to make atheros wireless card work? I manage to see wireless lan around me,but i'm not able to connect to them
[00:04] <Devourer> trimeta, I think this is a compiz-fusion thing.
[00:04] <sharperguy> histo, don't have either of those
[00:04] <peacewise> i have an update problem in ubuntu...i tried to change the proxy but it didnt help... :help
[00:04] <histo> sharperguy: well then what dns server are you talking about
[00:04] <trimeta> Devourer: It might be...do I need to install ccsm to mess with it?
[00:05] <Devourer> trimeta, I don't know. You can change the effects under appearances I guess.
[00:05] <meow-chan> how do i restart x server?
[00:05] <sharperguy> histo, I just assumed ubuntu would cache DNS results by default
[00:05] <Shishire> trimeta: if you're using compiz, check the compizconfig-settings-manager
[00:05] <peacewise> i have an update problem in ubuntu...i tried to change the proxy but it didnt help... :help
[00:05] <Botux> dont know how you guys say this is easy im reading and it seems complicated lol
[00:05] <Devourer> meow-chan, use alt + ctrl + backspace to restart the X server.
[00:05] <trimeta> Shishire: I don't have ccsm installed at the moment; should I?
[00:05] <histo> sharperguy: nope
[00:05] <sharperguy> histo, hmm ok
[00:06] <Shishire> trimeta: yes, and also try installing fusion-icon, so you can switch between compiz and metacity
[00:06] <histo> sharperguy: atleast not that i know of. queries still take mroe time then a local response here.
[00:06] <trimeta> Shishire: I'll try that.

[00:07] <rparish> how do i install java on the power pc version?
[00:07] <sierinjs_lv> has anyone installed urban terror?
[00:07] <Shishire> trimeta: I found the settings for that combo under the Enhanced Zoom Desktop plugin
[00:07] <Devourer> meow-chan, I thought that restarts the X server also.
[00:07] <sierinjs_lv> has anyone installed urban terror?
[00:08] <trimeta> Shishire: Hmm, apparently I did have ccsm installed, it's just called "Advanced Desktop Effects Settings" in the menu.

[00:11] <Tesla> There's this one smiley on 4chan, yes, this is a serious question, I'm not kidding.  I need to know, first of all, what the text is to copy and paste, and two, how to get the unicode of it.  It's the smiley with one character, a line, a circle, and a little curve, an underscore, and then the line/circle/curve thing again.
[00:11] <meow-chan> Shishire, how do i restart x server
[00:11] <Tesla> Ctrl+Shift+backspace
[00:11] <unko> can someone take a lok at this for me and try to help me fix this!! http://www.lookpic.com/files/IMG000431.JPG
[00:12] <Leey> does anyone know how to search for a mp3song in audacious playlist? is it possible ?
[00:12] <meow-chan> guess thats the only way, for some reason i thought there was a bash command for it
[00:12] <RedMushroom> can anyone tell me why trying to use the su command the terminal would return an authentication failure error when you're typing the correct pasword?
[00:13] <Shock> unko: looks like the root filesystem cannot be mounted
[00:13] <Tesla> Do you actually have a root account set up?
[00:13] <unko> Shock, why!!!??
[00:13] <Tesla> sudo bash should do the same thing, without having to actually have a root acount.
[00:13] <Shishire> RedMushroom: try sudo su
[00:14] <unko> Shock, how could this happen
[00:14] <Shock> unko: i don't know why :)
[00:14] <Leey> ah lol, "press j" problem fixed xD
[00:14] <Shock> unko: since i don't know what happened
[00:14] <Omni> RedMushroom: Well, have oyu set the root account up? or have you just set up your password? if the latter, sudo su -     #wow, everyone else here types way too fast.
[00:14] <Shishire> RedMushroom: su will ask you for the root password, and on a standard install of Ubuntu, root doesn't get a password for security reasons
[00:14] <unko> Shock, well the only thing i did recently was shut off the system take the hard drive out and put my vista one in
[00:15] <RedMushroom> sudo su worked. thank you very much
[00:15] <Tesla> Is anyone going to answer my question? =(
[00:15] <linny3> anyone here use ubuntu on an ovh dedicated serve ?
[00:15] <lincore> hi. Is there an easy way to type μ in ubuntu on a standard (qwertz keyboard)?

I looked in mods-available and mods-enabled and it exists in both locations. I've also checked the httpd.conf to make sure it's looking in the right location & it is in fact correct. any suggestions?
[00:19] <histo> Preplexed: accounts > maanage accoutns
[00:19]  * Tesla totally isn't going to get any help, is she. T_T

[00:23] <ghindo> Tesla: So wait - I haven't been paying attention to the channel for a while - your question is how to type a specific emoticon?
[00:23] <noodlesgc> unko thats odd. could you boot off a livecd and see if your system still exists?
[00:23] <unko> noodlesgc, yea i did and all my shit is still there?

[00:26] <unko> Shishire, yep
[00:26] <ghindo> Tesla: ಠ_ಠ?
[00:26] <trinidadflores> thanks

[00:28] <Tesla> Well, actually, that's close, the one I'm looking for has a little curl at the end of the bar, but that works too.
[00:28] <Tesla> How do I take a copied and pasted letter, and see what it's number is so I can remote into a mac and paste?
[00:29] <judget__> there is no package googleearth
[00:29] <Shishire> unko: are you in linux now on that computer?  (live cd?)
[00:29] <ghindo> Tesla: I have no clue.  Sorry!
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> Tesla: paste to a file and copy the file to a shared folder
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> judget__: did you run sudo apt-get update
[00:29] <Tesla> That works too.

[00:39] <Mike_lifeguard> halp!
[00:39] <DG19075> or gotten lost in a netsplit
[00:39] <Mike_lifeguard> no, no netsplit
[00:39] <thiebaude> or got scared
[00:39] <mattgyver83> My laptop runs Feisty, when i upgrade it tells me I can only do a partial upgrade.  What does this mean?
[00:40] <cpudan80> Hey guys
[00:40] <H_M-Ubuntu> Believe me dude.. if there was a netsplit on freenode, we would all know about it by now
[00:40] <Shishire> I'm not scared, I'm just biding my time :P
[00:40] <Mike_lifeguard> or they don't have a CD to burn the .iso onto so we can get this party started :D
[00:40] <cpudan80> so Im having some trouble with the sound on my laptop
[00:40] <`Borg`> so is anyone going to answer my question I asked or at least try?
[00:40] <thiebaude> Shishire: haha
[00:40] <Burntresistor_> i may be new to unbuntu but why are Dependant programs of aps not packaged with the ap you need some of the time
[00:40]  * Mike_lifeguard puts up his hand for that option XD

[00:40] <ActionParsnip> !feisty
[00:40] <cpudan80> Its a Dell Studio XPS 16 with Ubuntu 8.10 --- the internal speakers work OK - but the headphone jacks don't work as expected. The music still plays on the internal speakers with the headphones plugged in
[00:40] <Mike_lifeguard> BTW, is there any particular reason you don't use MediaWiki for that wiki?
[00:40] <cpudan80> Any idea how I could fix it?
[00:40] <Shishire> Burntresistor_: usually because other apps can depend upon them too.  that way you don't waste space
[00:41] <Burntresistor_> ah ok
[00:41] <`Borg`> my question was: why is the apache module not working for mod_python. I looked in all paths & locations & all are correct. is there something wrong with the module or compatibility at this point in time?
[00:42] <Burntresistor_> but in a world of terabyte hard drives do we really care about 10mb files we dont use
[00:42] <Excedio> i know i dont
[00:42] <Roasted> Does Ubuntu Server have a form of active directory built in? Or do you have to install it spearately?
[00:42] <Burntresistor_> hence it should be optional
[00:43] <Shishire> Burntresistor_: almost every single program, if not every one uses libc6.   I am getting some suspicious error messages in Xorg.0.log. Should I worry? http://paste.ubuntu.com/145818/
[00:44] <H_M-Ubuntu> I have a question, what is ubottu coded in?
[00:45] <H_M-Ubuntu> !info ubottu
[00:45] <mercutio22> The process is Xorg itself
[00:45] <H_M-Ubuntu> Heh
[00:45] <thahauss> !info ubottu
[00:45] <thiebaude> !ubottu
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> thahauss: info gives info on a package
[00:45] <mrwes> !puppy
[00:45] <mattwj2002> !bash
[00:45] <thahauss> Action: hehe u read my blank mind
[00:45] <Shishire> heh, I wish I could download ubottu :P
[00:46] <mattwj2002> hmm
[00:46] <`Borg`> bleh...I'll go ask in #apache. even a simple yes or no would be better than just ignoring the question.
[00:46] <bonhoffer> does anyone know of mysql gui tools in apt?
[00:46] <bonhoffer> i can't find it in apt-cache, but i don't know what they might be called and google didn't help either
[00:47] <mattwj2002> Shishire what is ubottu?
[00:47] <Shishire> bonhoffer: mysql-gui-tools-common?

[00:51] <arooni-mobile> d, the fsck should be performed in maintenance mode with the root filesystem mounted in read only mode; the root file system is currently mounted in read-only mode;
[00:51] <arooni-mobile> how should i fix?
[00:51] <Shishire> arooni-mobile: boot recovery mode
[00:51] <kindofabuzz> run a manual fsck like it says to?
[00:51] <arooni-mobile> Shishire, from which cd?
[00:51] <Shishire> arooni-mobile: then run the specified command
[00:51] <Shishire> no, from grub
[00:52] <Shishire> hit esc as the computer boots
[00:52] <arooni-mobile> Shishire, and what is the specified command
[00:52] <Shishire> try fsck /dev/sda1
[00:52] <Lint01> arooni-mobile: mount rw /
[00:52] <arooni-mobile> Shishire, so i dont need to boot it up off a cd?
[00:52] <Lint01> arooni-mobile: sudo mount rw /
[00:53] <arooni-mobile> Lint01, huh?  i thought the message said to mount root file system in read-only mode
[00:53] <judget__> for what it is worth that googleearth package kept vcrashing on my Ubuntu Intrepid
[00:53] <Shishire> arooni-mobile: no, you don't.  booting off of a cd may feel nicer, but its not necessary
[00:53] <Lint01> arooni-mobile: it was mounted in RO because it's corrupted
[00:53] <Lint01> arooni-mobile: to run fsck you need to make it writeable
[00:53] <arooni-mobile> Shishire, does it change anything if im running ubuntu 8.04 LTS and not ubuntu ibex?  (i had version # wrong)
[00:54] <arooni-mobile> Lint01, but error message said not to mount it rw
[00:54] <arooni-mobile> "the fsck should be performed in maintenance mode with the root filesystem fmounted in read only mode"
[00:54] <Shishire> arooni-mobile: no
[00:54] <arooni-mobile> Shishire, huh?
[00:54] <arooni-mobile> and also; i'm curious why this happened?
[00:54] <Shishire> arooni-mobile: it makes no difference between 8.10 and 8.04
[00:55] <arooni-mobile> Shishire, ok so the only command i type is: sudo fsck /dev/sda1
[00:55] <arooni-mobile> ?
[00:55] <Lint01> fsck: read-only filesystem :)
[00:55] <tj83_> what would be the correct package to use for itunes syncing?
[00:56] <scunizi> !ipod | tj83_
[00:56] <tj83_> scunizi, ty
[00:56] <scunizi> tj83_: np.. it can be a mine field with newer units like the touch
[00:56] <natan-> are there any good guides on how big to make partitions on install?
[00:56] <natan-> i have a 1tb drive and trying to figure out how to partition it
[00:57] <arooni-mobile> Shishire, so i booted into recovery mode;   now all i type is sudo fsck /dev/sda1 ?
[00:57] <Shishire> arooni-mobile: if you're using recovery mode, and you're using the root terminal, you don't need the sudo, but yes
[00:57] <scunizi> natan-: general purpose sizes.... root "/" = 8-12gigs ... /swap 1 gig unless you're using hybernate or something like that then it's 1.5x your ram.. the rest for /home
[00:57] <Lint01> arooni-mobile: just sudo fsck / should work
[00:57] <tj83_> scunizi, it reads "itunes" are not currently supported by linux, only playlist/file sync...
[00:57] <natan-> thanks
[00:58] <metalfan__> could somebody please create a package for mac (ape sound format) for ubuntu intrepid?
[00:58] <bonhoffer> when i ssh and hold down ctl+ arrow key i get 5C;5C;
[00:58] <arooni-mobile> how do i batch up fsck so it just fixes everything without prompting me
[00:58] <scunizi> tj83_: ah.. you wanted access to itunes?  sorry .. no can do.. it has DRM which linux doesn't really support
[00:58] <SvenZ> anyone familiar with configuring Soundblaster Audigy 2 soundcards with ubuntu?
[00:58] <SvenZ> i tried one tutorial, but it was not a success
[00:58] <scunizi> tj83_: you could run windows in a VM like virtual box or VMWare and access it that way
[00:59] <Lint01> arooni-mobile: fsck shouldn't be batched, you must make conscious decisions about it
[00:59] <tj83_> scunizi, shame.... i was going to recruit a friend from windows.... only condition was itunes.
[00:59] <tj83_> scunizi, so resources for VM
[00:59] <Shishire> arooni-mobile: use -y.  but be careful. that tells it to auto-answer yes to ALL questions
[00:59] <tj83_> no*
[00:59] <SvenZ> also, i just installed ubuntu after practice running with the live cd, and it says it has 283 updates available for me
[00:59] <SvenZ> should i install them all?
[00:59] <Lint01> tj83_: RAF here doesn't pay ;)
[00:59] <arooni-mobile> Shishire, so that's not recommended?
[00:59] <scunizi> tj83_: you mean a low power machine?
[00:59] <RedMushroom> how can i setup a static internal IP address for my computer?
[00:59] <tj83_> scunizi, yes... no ram, no spare hdd space.
[01:00] <scunizi> tj83_: too bad..
[01:00] <clintar> no ram? that is pretty low power
[01:00] <arooni-mobile> also;  can i learn WHY this happened?  is it a dead drive (its < 1 year old and makes no noise);  but we did power off by holding down power button a few times
[01:00] <clintar> running on virtual memory? :)
[01:00] <Guest_522> hi
[01:00] <tj83_> scunizi, i know... i try to convert everyone i know... but it usually fails.... thing is.... i dont understand why its so hard for the people to take linux... if more did, problems would get solved.
[01:01] <clintar> because people are afraid of their computers
[01:01] <Shishire> arooni-mobile: if the computer is turned off while its still being used, it can corrupt the hard drive
[01:01] <SvenZ> ok, someone just stole my password
[01:01]  * tj83_ is happy.... they just dont know.
[01:01] <Guest_522> im having a problem any help
[01:01] <SvenZ> this is my 3rd username in 3 days on here
[01:01] <RedMushroom> how can i setup a static ip address for use with apache making use of port forewarding?

[01:02] <rww> SvenZ: If you're talking about Nickserv passwords, ask in #freenode
[01:02] <scunizi> tj83_: show them how to sync the ipods then introduce them to Amazon's service.. they have a lot of DRM free music..

[01:04] <Martyr2k6> trying to dual boot vista and ubuntu ontwo hard drives
[01:04] <kindofabuzz> lucax, are you asking how to shutdown command line? then yeah, sudo shutdown -P now. do a man shutdown and you will see all options
[01:04] <SvenZ> anyone familiar with Soundblaster Audigy 2 driver setup on ubuntu? i tried a tutorial yesterday with no success
[01:04] <Shishire> SvenZ: unless you have a good reason not to...
[01:04]  * SvenZ nods
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> Martyr2k6: install vista but leave unpartitioned space, then install linux to the empty space
[01:05] <lucax> yeah but i want to turnoff computer as regular user not as root... since i can do it in gnome as regular user i want to do it from the command line so i can create a shortcut for it
[01:05] <unko> hey guys im switching to x64 should i use 8.10 or just download 9.04 since it's coming out in what.. 16 days?
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> Martyr2k6: if you are using 2 drives, even easier
[01:05] <Mike_lifeguard> !desktop environments
[01:05] <kindofabuzz> just overwrite vista =)
[01:05] <Mike_lifeguard> !desktop
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> unko: its been pushed back to august
[01:06] <Martyr2k6> sorry, I love vista over any other windows
[01:06] <ariqs> I want to burn a .rm video to dvd format. What tools do I need to convert .rm over to something useful?
[01:06] <unko> ActionParsnip: hmm so i should just downlad 8.10?
[01:06] <Martyr2k6> and I want to use vista and ubuntu
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> unko: try both is my suggestion
[01:06] <lucax> halt shutdown -h or -P now doesnt work for regular users--- whats the command that gnome executes?
[01:06] <unko> ActionParsnip: but i want a stable one... like is 9.04 stable yet?
[01:07] <kindofabuzz> lucax, use sudo
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> Martyr2k6: then install to the second drive and the dual boot will be managed, you will need to point your bios at the linux drive
[01:07] <Shishire> ActionParsnip: wasn't that a april fools joke?
[01:07] <lucax> i dont want to use sudo for it... i dont have to do it with sudo if i do it from the gnome menu....
[01:07] <Martyr2k6> action, I tried to do that yesterday... formatted both hard drives using vista disc, installed vista on one drive then ubuntu on the other, and now can't boot into vista
[01:07] <duhongbo> help
[01:07] <rww> unko: 9.04 is currently under development, so no, it's not stable. It'll be released around the 23rd of this month.

[01:09] <ActionParsnip> unko: is for me, is for many others, isnt for a lot of others
[01:09] <rww> Raylz: for future reference, #ubuntu+1 is the Jaunty questions/support channel, not here.
[01:09] <lucax> Roasted, i tried shutdown -h and -P now, and halt, but i can do it normaly from the gnome menu not from command line... i want to create a shortcut for it
[01:09] <duhongbo> for help
[01:09] <Roasted> lucax - you're just trying to create a shortcut for shutting down the pc?
[01:09] <Martyr2k6> Action, you are saying install vista first, delete both drives, install vista on first hdd, then install ubuntu on the second unpartitioned hdd?
[01:09] <lucax> Roasted, right

[01:11] <Shishire> lucax: why don't you use the panel applet which does that?
[01:11] <Raylz> rww: is that supposed to work after i used sudo dontzap --disable?
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> scunizi: i know about tab complete ;)
[01:11] <Raylz> cause it does not :)
[01:11] <kindofabuzz> lucax, why not just drag the power panal button to a panel?

[01:12] <Raylz> brb
[01:12] <Martyr2k6> ActionParsnip: , you are saying install vista first, delete both drives, install vista on first hdd, then install ubuntu on the second unpartitioned hdd?
[01:12] <ubotouou> is there any ubuntu flavors that come with enlightenment by default?
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> Martyr2k6: you can install linux easier if you have unpartitioned drive space, you wont get into the partition reallocation mess that folks get into if yuo plan your partitions
[01:13] <kindofabuzz> ubotouou, , OpenGEU
[01:13] <ariqs> ActionParsnip, thanks, but I already tried that. the command he says to use doesn't work
[01:13] <kindofabuzz> and it rocks
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> Martyr2k6: install vista on one drive and linux on the other or install vista on one drive but leave unpartitioned space and install linux to the same drive

[01:13] <Lint01> why ubuntu doesn't supply more kernels?
[01:14] <punktalk> question about the transmission bittorent client/dl'ing torrents? if anyone can help
[01:14] <ubotouou> kindofabuzz: does it have everything like ubuntu besides the desktop manager?
[01:14] <kindofabuzz> ubotouou, http://opengeu.intilinux.com/Home.html
[01:14] <kindofabuzz> ubotouou, yup
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> Lint01: how do you mean?
[01:14] <Martyr2k6> ActionParsnip: so step one would be pop in my vista disc, delete both drives, install vista on one drive, then ubuntu on the next?
[01:14] <Shishire> Lint01: ? more kernels? like, the bsd kernel as well?
[01:14] <kindofabuzz> ubotouou, but there 8.10 version is kind of beta, they are waiting on jaunty to release
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> Martyr2k6: if you have some space already (or fancy a crack at resizing) you can do that
[01:15] <Lint01> ActionParsnip: I mean there's just generic, server and virtual builds.
[01:15] <Martyr2k6> ActionParsnip: nah, I am good to just start clean on both drives
[01:15] <Lint01> ActionParsnip: I waould like to see something more specific
[01:15] <Shishire> Lint01: what are you expecting?
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> Martyr2k6: you could ahve a linux drive and a vista drive, another option is have both OSes on the same drive then use the other purely  for data
[01:15] <Shishire> Lint01: you can also install kernel modules using aptitude
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> Lint01: ubuntu isnt designed for that
[01:15] <kindofabuzz> Lint01, roll your own kernel if you need specific things
[01:16] <Martyr2k6> ActionParsnip: well, my goal is to have one vista drive and one ubuntu drive, so I will try what you said and leave this window open while doing it
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> Martyr2k6: thats fine
[01:16] <Martyr2k6> ActionParsnip: but this has been proven to work?
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> Martyr2k6: install vista first, instal linux and dual boot will be managed
[01:16] <Martyr2k6> ok
[01:16] <Shishire> I guess the powers that be feel that if you need something more complicated than the standard three kernels, you'll know how to build your own :P
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> Martyr2k6: then set bios to boot the linux drive
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> Martyr2k6: lots proven to lots work

[01:18] <Burntresistor> i didnt see gdk-pixbuf-loaders in packet manager so i downloaded what i found and it ended up to be a rpm file im coverting it with alien and it says Must run as root to convert to deb format
[01:19] <nibsa1242b> SvenZ: what is your audio issue?
[01:19] <ActionParsnip> SvenZ: creative cards can be painful, plus they suck
[01:19] <Burntresistor> what does that mean
[01:19] <SvenZ> oh thanks for being helpful ActionParsnip
[01:19] <kindofabuzz> Burntresistor, use sudo then
[01:19] <eseven73> phenom, try sudo alsa force-reload
[01:19] <syntax\> any suggestions on what to choose when downloading ubuntu installation files from the philippines?
[01:20] <Burntresistor> i did use sdo $sudo alien -k gdk-pixbuf-loaders-0.22.0-alt9.1.i586.rpm
[01:20]  * kindofabuzz shrugs
[01:21] <musikgoat|main> syntax\: if you can, and you think that it will be quick, you should grab the .torrent file (assuming you are familiar with torrents), that would be the quickest
[01:21] <SvenZ> nibsa1242b, going through sound prefs, and check testing every option until i can find a configuration that works, no luck thus far
[01:21] <phenom> eseven73, Would that be a workaround when it happens to your knowledge? Or have you known that to solve the problem?
[01:21] <SirMarth01> Heya.
[01:21] <phenom> The research I've done shows this to be a ppopular bug, with no fix
[01:21] <eseven73> phenom, it's a common "fix"
[01:21] <nibsa1242b> SvenZ: are you using pulse? alsa? something else?
[01:21] <phenom> ok, thanks eseven73 I'll try it.

[01:24] <nibsa1242b> SirMarth01: why?
[01:24] <eseven73> phenom, also if that don't work try setting everything in sound options to Alsa and then re run that command again

[01:26] <skyraven> ActionParsnip, no
[01:26] <histo> SirMarth01: beryl themes would be used with emerald.
[01:27] <SirMarth01> I don't even know what those are.

[01:28] <Cpudan80> We've talked about it in here before
[01:29] <skyraven> ActionParsnip, damn..then back to the classic ways of removing the plug for the led from the MB:)
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> Cpudan80: jaunty debs are for jaunty, intrepid debs are for intrepid. if you mix them yuo WILL get a big mess
[01:29] <musikgoat|main> syntax\: Considering that I'm in the US, I cannot speak from experience as to whether that is the best :-)
[01:29] <Kelen> ActionParsnip: but i install the depends with command " sudo aptitude install libqt3-mt". is that possible to remove it automatically?

[01:29] <ActionParsnip> Cpudan80: thats why the sources file is not univrsal and specifies the release you have

[01:32] <Swde> Why is Ubuntu booting from hard drive when I have choosen to boot Linpus from a usb flash drive. Why does the boot jumps to hard drive instead of continuing using the usb flash drive?
[01:32] <syntax\> btw, musikgoat|main do you happen to know how can i install a gnome desktop?
[01:32] <SirMarth01> Well, actually, third part...
[01:33] <syntax\> is it sudo apt-get ubuntu desktop?
[01:33] <syntax\> is it sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop?
[01:33] <musikgoat|main> the second

[01:35] <SirMarth01> I probably should ask elsewhere, for I've got the feeling I'm not wanted here. xD
[01:35] <musikgoat|main> syntax\: if they are the exact same, you could install everything you want,  and mirror the drives (dd)  or if not,  you could look up installing apt cacher

[01:43] <ruben23> how do i network ubuntu desktop with existing windows workgroup...?
[01:43] <Kelen> musikgoat|main: usually it's remove the depends that installed automatically. not manually...
[01:44] <Shishire> !smb | ruben23
[01:44] <musikgoat|main> Kelen: maybe i misunderstood
[01:45] <Xcell> Kelen-- also you might want to install (gtkOrphan).. gets rid of the residue
[01:45] <TheBashShell> if i install openssh-server, do i have to worry about ubuntu generating a blacklisted key?
[01:45] <syntax\> [08:37am] [musikgoat|main] syntax\: so you intend to replace all 40+ machines with a clean install of ubuntu? -- yes. but those 40+ machine came from windows xp. and each machine has a separate ntfs partition for their back ups.
[01:45] <syntax\> which as i see it cloning wont be possible
[01:46] <musikgoat|main> syntax\: eh, you could still,  you would have to be careful to only dd the first partition
[01:46] <Shishire> TheBashShell: you shouldn't, one of the deps of openssh is openssl, which deps upon openssl-blacklist
[01:46] <Kelen> Xcell: it's a packages or something?
[01:47] <ruben23> ubottu: do i ahve to install a samba server...?
[01:47] <syntax\> well im lost.. how can i do it?
[01:47] <musikgoat|main> syntax\: you would just build one machine to suit, keeping the recovery partition separate from ubuntu,  then if all the other machines are the same, you could dd if=/dev/sdx1 of=/dev/sdy1
[01:47] <Xcell> Kelen--  yes.. it gets rid of leftover parts of deleted pgms

[01:48] <syntax\> [08:47am] [musikgoat|main] syntax\: you would just build one machine to suit, keeping the recovery partition separate from ubuntu, then if all the other machines are the same, you could dd if=/dev/sdx1 of=/dev/sdy1 -- ok im trying to build the one machine right now.. but they also differ in hdd's size.
[01:48] <syntax\> some are 10 gb some are 20 - 40 - 80 gbs..
[01:48] <musikgoat|main> syntax\: oh
[01:49] <Nasra> how do i bring the icons to the both upper & lower panels....ex: trash cans, logout icon, desk 1,2, etc ?
[01:49] <syntax\> i have so much for constraints.. i get ur point, the "cloning thing" but im afraid i have a lot to consider.
[01:49] <syntax\> from the hdd sizes to the specs of the computer..
[01:49] <matkix> w00ps... add a sudo :P
[01:50] <Xcell> Nasra--  rirht click on panel
[01:50] <Kelen> Xcell: okay, maybe it's not residue, i think it's complete lib of depends..
[01:50] <Xcell> ok Kelen
[01:50] <musikgoat|main> syntax\: sure, makes sense,  go for apt-cacher  and then you can minimal install each machine and set each repository to your apt-cacher server locally,  that should speed installs
[01:50] <Nasra> hello have a question:    how do I bring the icons to the both upper & lower panels....ex: trash cans, logout icon, desk 1,2, etc ?
[01:51] <Shishire> Nasra: you mean move the ones that are already on there?
[01:51] <Nasra> Shishire: ...no they are gone....need them back....
[01:51] <syntax\> musikgoat|main: ok im trying to digest the apt-cacher..
[01:52] <Shishire> Nasra: ouch, I've had that happen before.  Easiest way is to right click and "Add to Panel"
[01:52] <Nasra> Shishire: do  you if there is a command or anything?
[01:52] <SvenZ> what is the Kill Command to give me a special mouse pointer to select the program open that i want to kill?
[01:52] <syntax\> musikgoat|main: how does this apt-cacher do its thing anyway?
[01:53] <musikgoat|main> syntax\: think of it as a populating mirror,  everything you download to that "server" will store the packages in its cache, and your other machines can point to that as their download location
[01:53] <syntax\> ohhh
[01:53] <matkix> !hardy
[01:53] <Royall> If I drop a file/folder in a Shared folder that I set up on a different computer, will the file/folder be copied to that machine?

[02:04] <ohmygod> Omni, no problem. :-)

[02:07] <mheath_> tvon: I believe the easiest way to do that is in synaptic, though theres more complicated ways of blacklisting something on the command line. Give me a second to take a look and refresh my memory.
[02:07] <tvon> mheath_: thanks
[02:08] <Pici> ubotouou: We do not support unofficial derivatives of Ubuntu here.

[02:08] <Martyr2k6> vikrant: lack of knowledge as to what I am doing?
[02:08] <syntax\> musikgoat|main: so i can use ftp.science.nus.edu.sg instead of sg.archive.ubuntu.com on the next install right?
[02:08] <bruce89> tvon: see /etc/apt/preferences
[02:08] <mheath_> tvon: yeah. Its been a while since I've done it. You may have better luck looking through Debian package management docs.
[02:08] <vikrant> well slip in your ubuntu cd in ur cd rom
[02:09] <musikgoat|main> syntax\: yes
[02:09] <tvon> bruce89, mheath_ thanks
[02:09] <vikrant> and boot from it
[02:09] <musikgoat|main> or your apt-cacher  ;-)
[02:09] <Martyr2k6> vikrant: from within windows, or reboot and boot from disc
[02:09] <vikrant> once you starte the installer it wld ask u which hdd you would like to install ubuntu onto
[02:09] <bartek> Has anyone experienced the /usr/X11R6/bin/X process constantly taking up about 10-20% CPU after running Ubuntu for a whole day? It is ok just after boot but becomes sluggish after after 10+ hours
[02:09] <vikrant> reboot and then ...
[02:09] <FrozenFire> Is there a GUI application for shredding disks/partitions? I know how to do it from the command-line, but I'd like a GUI application with which I can track multiple disk shreddings with progress bars and such.
[02:09] <syntax\> can i use that aswell if i was to do another single install without the apt-cacher?
[02:09] <Ububegin> I was halfway installing ubuntu 8.10 and realised that the installor didnt prompt me to create a swap partition... Is swap partition no longer neccesary for ubuntu..
[02:09] <SvenZ> sebsebseb
[02:10] <Martyr2k6> vikrant:  when installing from the cd it gives me three options, do I choose the manual option?
[02:10] <vikrant> Ububegin: u cn create one even later
[02:10] <vikrant> a swap partition i.e
[02:10] <vikrant> Martyr2k6: yes
[02:11] <syntax\> musikgoat|main: i think im almost done with the installation. i also added to install the the ubuntu desktop..
[02:11] <musikgoat|main> syntax\: the way i've used it in the past was that I made a particular machine "the server", and any .deb packages that aren't already on "the server" will be proxied through it and saved to it at the same time
[02:11] <musikgoat|main> syntax\: cool
[02:11] <SvenZ> !help with sound blaster audigy 2

[02:12] <vikrant> yeah...
[02:12] <Martyr2k6> vikrant:  good so far right?
[02:12] <vikrant> yes

[02:12] <Shishire> !soundblaster | SvenZ
[02:12] <vikrant> its alrite
[02:12] <mheath_> tvon: Theres a "force version" in synaptic now, but it doesn't do quite what you're thinking. You'll have to go with the other persons suggetison and use the apt files to edit preferences. Theres thorough documentation on the Debian site about those files.
[02:12] <Ububegin> vikrant: so the installer would not prompt you to setup a swap-partition...
[02:12] <tvon> mheath_:  thanks
[02:12] <Mike_lifeguard> So, it is possible to install from USB, right?
[02:13] <Shishire> Mike_lifeguard: yes, I've done it many times
[02:13] <Huxley> i just did
[02:13] <Martyr2k6> Mike_lifeguard yes it is
[02:13] <vikrant> u shld have set it up when u installed...but you can do it now too
[02:13] <Mike_lifeguard> So, do I just load the .iso onto it... or something tricky? :)
[02:13] <Ububegin> vikrant: so is the swap partition even important then..... I am 4Gb Ram..so I would need arnd 6 Gb Swap parition...
[02:13] <vikrant> i have 1gb ram at office
[02:13] <vikrant> 2gb at home
[02:13] <vikrant> never use swap

[02:15] <pen> hi
[02:15] <Anon0168> so I was thinking that maybe u can help me out, wich "methods" do u use?
[02:15] <kievow> you will be hacked .We will see already if you are a bot :)
[02:15] <matt> Does anyone have a idea why Gparted shows a partition as being about 50GB bigger than what dolphin/nautlus says it is?
[02:15] <Ububegin> Martyr2k6: choose the unallocated space to put ubuntu into
[02:15] <Pici> kievow: Are you done?
[02:15] <matt> ^^Not bigger, but about 50GB more freespace.
[02:16] <Martyr2k6> Ububegin, there isnt an unallocate space
[02:16] <ajr> can anyone help me w this clicking noise on my hd
[02:16] <Anon0168> I have a serious issue concerning archive organization on my computer...
[02:16] <Martyr2k6> ajr, if your hdd is clicking, its failing
[02:16] <mheath_> matt: Have you recently deleted files while logged in? The deletion might not have synced to disk.
[02:16] <vikrant> ajr time to replace ur hdd
[02:16] <Anon0168> so I was thinking that maybe u can help me out, wich "methods" do u use? :)
[02:16] <JakeTwoZero> I can't get my nvidia drivers to work on my ubuntu
[02:16] <ajr> is that def it
[02:16] <Ububegin> Martyr2k6: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dualboot_vista_with_linux_vista_installed_first.htm ... this website has screenshots detailing step by step installation procedure... You cant go wrong
[02:16] <arulmozhi> I hv installed audacity, how can i record a sound
[02:16] <Martyr2k6> ok, so both of my drives are setup as ntfs
[02:16] <ajr> ive read up about it on the forums
[02:17] <matt> mheath_: I just got the disk today, and formatted it. This has been this way ever since I've mounted it. what if I umount it and remount it?
[02:17] <ajr> and it seems to be maybe a kernel issue
[02:17] <Huxley> jaketwo, what version of ubuntu
[02:17] <Martyr2k6> ububegin, went wrong with that tutorial, yes I am that dumb
[02:17] <vikrant> drive clicking is not a kernel issue
[02:17] <kievow> suerce code 001 --h su ejjs >
[02:17] <vikrant> its ur hdd dying
[02:17] <kievow> +
[02:17] <mheath_> matt: you could try that..or just run "sync"
[02:17] <Shishire> ajr: drive clicking is a hardware issue.  back up your data and buy a new one
[02:17] <Martyr2k6> vikrant: both of my drives are showing up as ntfs
[02:18] <Pici> kievow: This is the official Ubuntu support channel, do you have a question?
[02:18] <Anon0168> can someone help me out?
[02:18] <Martyr2k6> vikrant: it gives me two checkboxes for option to format one or the other
[02:18] <vikrant> Martyr2k6: on the drive u want to install ubuntu , go ahead and delete all partitions (i am assuming you have nthing imp on it)
[02:18] <kievow> my question is ... one moment :)
[02:18] <JakeTwoZero> I have a question
[02:18] <Martyr2k6> vikrant: nope its all on the external drive
[02:18] <matt> mheath_: Still, gparted=844.9GB unused, nautilus=798.3Gb free.
[02:18] <ajr> does not do under windows
[02:18] <Ububegin> Martyr2k6: if u have no unallocated space, then resize one of ntfs parition.... I am not sure whether Ubuntu LiveCD  can do it... But gparted def can...
[02:18] <Pici> !ask
[02:19] <ajr> no click in windows
[02:19] <JakeTwoZero> How do I get my ubuntu 8.04 to display the right resolution
[02:19] <ajr> only in ubuntu
[02:19] <mheath_> matt: hmm. What does df -h say?
[02:19] <Martyr2k6> vikrant: ok I checked the soon to be linux drive and deleted the partition, am I good so far?
[02:19] <Huxley> JakeTwo, I downloaded 8.10 and my resolution is fixed
[02:19] <Shishire> matt: nautilus and gparted calculate size differently
[02:19] <vikrant> JakeTwoZero: what driver do you have
[02:19] <Kelen> JakeTwoZero: Custom /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:19] <matt> mheath_: /dev/sdb1             917G   72G  799G   9% /home/matt/Data
[02:19] <JakeTwoZero> run that in a terminal?
[02:19] <vikrant> Martyr2k6: yes
[02:19] <matt> Shishire: in what way?
[02:20] <Martyr2k6> vikrant: so do I hit new partition or choose to go forward
[02:20] <Shishire> matt: 1000 vs 1024
[02:20] <Huxley> jaketwo, do you want to upgrade to 8.10
[02:20] <vikrant> Martyr2k6:  new part
[02:20] <matt> Shishire: Oh, gotcha. :(
[02:20] <JakeTwoZero> how?
[02:20] <Ububegin> Hei guys, for 4Gb ram system... you require 1.5 x Ram = 6 Gb swap partition... this is general ground rule
[02:20] <Martyr2k6> vikrant: thanks for holding my hand through this, it was killing me
[02:20] <vikrant> np :)
[02:20] <matt> Shishire: so really, the drive has as much free as much free?
[02:20] <JakeTwoZero> the terminal isn't working
[02:20] <JakeTwoZero> it displays nothing
[02:20] <Huxley> jaketwo, go to software sources in the system menu
[02:21] <Martyr2k6> vikrant:  ok new dialogue window popped up, anything in here I should change
[02:21] <Shishire> matt: since most programs calculate in terms of 1024, use that value to determine your space left
[02:21] <Huxley> jaketwo, are you in gnome?
[02:21] <vikrant> the first partition shld b /boot 150mb in size and shld b a primary partition
[02:21] <matt> Shishire: Indeed, because nautlius and dolphin also show my other drive as being "stipped of space". But really it's good, right? I mean, I can store as much data as my gparted tells me?
[02:22] <Shishire> matt: nautilus is reporting what most people will think of as the more correct value
[02:22] <JakeTwoZero> Hold on, I'll brb.
[02:22] <Anon0168> can someone tell me a good way to organize projects, files, and folders efficiently?
[02:22] <Ububegin> Hei guys, for 4Gb ram system... you require 1.5 x Ram = 6 Gb swap partition... Qn : Is this the  general ground rule ?
[02:22] <Martyr2k6> vikrant:  type of partion is currently primary, new part size is 122942, location is beginning, use as is ext3 journaling file system and mount point is blank
[02:22] <vikrant> yes
[02:23] <vikrant> Ububegin: tht ws for u
[02:23] <eqisow1> Ububegin: Not at all, 2x, 1.5x, whatever rules are fairly outdated
[02:23] <Martyr2k6> vik, these are the default settings to chose
[02:23] <vikrant> make size 150mb
[02:23] <vikrant> Mart
[02:23] <Shishire> Ububegin: usually yes, although if you have a smaller hard drive you may want to size it down.  the general rule of thumb is to have a least 1x your physical ram, so you can hibernate
[02:23] <eqisow1> Ububegin: With 4GB of ram it's pretty safe to not even use swap, or 1-2GB at most
[02:23] <vikrant> mount point shld b /boot
[02:23] <eqisow1> Ububegin: assuming we're talking about a desktop, of course
[02:24] <Martyr2k6> vikrant: im a bit froggy right now on file to numbers, 150 mb is what in bytes
[02:24] <Anon0168> can someone tell me a good way to organize projects, files, and folders efficiently... anyone?
[02:24] <Martyr2k6> vikrant:  keep in mind I am wanting to use this whole drive for linux
[02:24] <Ububegin> vikrant, eqisow1 : Can I create the swap partition under the Extended Partition.... Currently, my extended partition, has 2 ntfs logical drives...
[02:24] <Shishire> Martyr2k6: 157286400
[02:25] <eqisow1> Ububegin: aye, extended partitions are fine
[02:25] <eqisow1> Ububegin: You can even use a file, Windows style, if you prefer
[02:25] <Ububegin> eqisow1: roger that..... think, I will read up a bit .... thanks
[02:25] <vikrant> Martyr2k6:  1024x150 = 153600bytes
[02:26] <Shishire> vikrant: that'd be KB
[02:26] <eqisow1> Ububegin: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-add-a-swap-file-howto/ <-- on using files for swap
[02:27] <Martyr2k6> vikrant: so far this is what I have - type of new part is primary, new part size 15786400, location is beginning, use as ext3 journaling, mount point is /boot
[02:27] <Martyr2k6> vikrant:  good sofar, do I hit ok then hit forward?
[02:27] <vikrant> * ul have to double check on the size
[02:28] <vikrant> Martyr2k6:  how big is ur drive?
[02:28] <Martyr2k6> vikrant: 120 gb
[02:29] <vikrant> really dsnt make sense using 120gb for ubuntu
[02:29] <vikrant> i use just 20gb for mine
[02:29] <vikrant> :)
[02:29] <Martyr2k6> vikrant: well I am wanting to real limitations
[02:29] <JakeTwoZero> How do I upgrade to Ubuntu 8.10
[02:29] <bruce89> !upgrade
[02:30] <Martyr2k6> vikrant: to = no, no real limitations
[02:30] <tk> anyone here familiar with Ntop by any chance?
[02:30] <vikrant> /boot 150mb swap 2gb /-20gb /home -remaining free space shld b good
[02:30] <kievow> :)
[02:30] <Martyr2k6> vikrant: and now you lost me

[02:45] <eseven73> !fstab | bobg
[02:45] <Martyr2k6> he was walking me through setting up a 2gig swap filein the ubuntu install
[02:45] <eqisow1> what? gedit is a GUI :/

[02:48] <eqisow1> Martyr2k6: You might want to stick with Windows. Some of these fellows may disagree, but the occasional CLI command is the reality of Linux
[02:48] <eqisow1> Martyr2k6: except for very basic desktop usage, if you're lucky
[02:48] <Martyr2k6> well I wont learn unless I try, and I am willing to do so, but in baby steps
[02:48] <ghindo> SvenZ: What's your problem?
[02:49] <ghindo> SvenZ: I will try to guide you through the wilderness!
[02:49] <Goldfisch> lyy: I haven't noticed any yet. It is only in the last few years, that they are putting power plugs at convenient locations in the terminals.

[02:51] <clearscreen> santiago: I recommend you install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[02:52] <Mr_Orange> can someone help me getting WPA2 to work with Ubuntu? (No NetworkManager)
[02:52] <santiago> whats that clearscreen?

[02:56] <Goldfisch> santiago: Open firefox, and enter "about:plugins" in the address bar. It should list of you have the flash plugin already loaded.
[02:56] <mdmkolbe> What is a good replacement for MSPaint on Ubuntu?  (I need to edit bitmaps, pixel by pixel.  And I want something simple.  GIMP sounds a little overkill for what I need, but I don't know having never used it.)
[02:56] <santiago> it loaded a bunch of stuff and then said
[02:57] <cchaos> Installing flash is easy for me: I just click on add plugins and select the three it suggests, then restart firefox
[02:57] <ryan_> So... any ideas about the GRUB clear?
[02:57] <santiago> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[02:57] <clearscreen> what does it say above that, santiago?
[02:57] <darkside_simmons> Don_Miguel you may be able to copy over status-old in /var/lib/dpkg but make sure to keep a copy status possibly copy it to your home directory
[02:57] <clearscreen> does it say: 'flashplugin-nonfree is already the newest version.'?
[02:57] <Flannel> Don_Miguel: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2007-January/104520.html
[02:57] <santiago> yes it does say that
[02:57] <Flannel> Don_Miguel: That post (#2) walks you through a fix.
[02:57] <clearscreen> santiago: then you already have it.. make sure it is loaded in firefox
[02:57] <santiago> :s
[02:57] <santiago> how do i know if it is loaded?
[02:57] <clearscreen> santiago: tools -> addons -> plugins
[02:58] <cchaos> Restart firefox santiago
[02:58] <crankharder> is there any way I can make gnome-terminal auto-copy anything i highlight w/ the mouse?
[02:58] <cchaos> How about some help on my prob? lol
[02:58] <santiago> wohoo
[02:58] <Don_Miguel> tyfoo, Flannel ... I hope that one is baby-step-by-baby-step
[02:58] <clearscreen> cchaos, santiago: well, yes.. I kind of assumed he already restarted firefox :P
[02:58] <santiago> now i can see videos
[02:58] <santiago> :D
[02:58] <alabamahit> High. Using 9.04 has anyone else had trouble with transmission. I cant figure out how to get it to minimize t the tray....The option used to be in the View Option but don't see that now.
[02:58] <tyfoo> ?
[02:58] <santiago> thanks guys!
[02:58] <ryan_> Clear: Any ideas about my GRUB problem?
[02:58] <cchaos> lol clear I dont think he did after that :P
[02:59] <clearscreen> ryan_: that's really weird, no idea actually
[02:59] <cchaos> No worries santiago
[02:59] <Flannel> Don_Miguel: It is pretty much.  If you have questions about the steps, this channel can help.
[02:59] <musikgoat|main> alabamahit: its a checkbox in one of the menus now
[02:59] <jgijanto> ryan, you can change the amount of time it gives you before you have to hit esc if you go into /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:59] <clearscreen> ryan_: can you pastebin /boot/grub/menu.lst ?
[02:59] <rbil> ryan_ why don't you post your menu.lst in a pastebin?
[02:59] <Don_Miguel> tyfoo, again, Flannel
[02:59] <jgijanto> change the timeout to 10 or whatever you want
[02:59] <ryan_> sec
[02:59] <clearscreen> jgijanto: his problem is that it actually doesnt even count down
[02:59] <santiago> guys...
[02:59] <darkside_simmons> cchaos this may help edit xorg.conf file http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973
[02:59] <santiago> one more question
[02:59] <Don_Miguel> Thanks, Flannel
[02:59] <Mr_Orange> can anyone help me with WPA2 on Ubuntu (command line only)?
[02:59] <santiago> are there any basic stuff i should install.... i just got ubuntu today
[02:59] <musikgoat|main> alabamahit: check tray icon in view, then close to tray works
[03:00] <santiago> i'm trying to get used to it
[03:00] <alabamahit> musikgoat|main, ...its not their...
[03:00] <musikgoat|main> alabamahit: what version?
[03:00] <clearscreen> santiago: basic stuff is already installed.. if you feel you need more functionality (missing something), use add/remove applications in your start menu
[03:00] <Goldfisch> santiago: It helps if you describe what you want to do. Sound editing? Create music CDs? Load your iPod?
[03:00] <alabamahit> musikgoat|main, ubuntu 9.04/ transmission is 1.51
[03:00] <santiago> oh yes i've seen that add/remove section
[03:00] <darkside_simmons> i believe cchaos it is because you don't have a monitor defined or your default monitor only supports 640x480
[03:01] <musikgoat|main> alabamahit: oh, jaunty related questions should be asked in #ubuntu+
[03:01] <musikgoat|main> 1
[03:01] <santiago> do you recomend me to install compiz? i installed the 64 bit version of ubuntu 8.10
[03:01] <musikgoat|main> #ubuntu+1    sorry
[03:01] <ryan_> GRUB = http://pastebin.com/m85be944
[03:01] <ryan_> santiago: I love compiz
[03:01] <ryan_> But it's all personal preference
[03:02] <ryan_> it'
[03:02] <ryan_> it's just eye candy
[03:02] <santiago> ryan_ : is it hard to install?
[03:02] <ryan_> Nope
[03:02] <jgijanto> not with apt :)
[03:02] <jwormy> when upgrading to 9.04 beta support i get "Can't Install 'ubuntu-desktop'.  It was imposible to install a required package.  Please report this as a bug.'  anyone know anything more about this than the obvious?
[03:02] <santiago> i've been told that i had to do some stuff with my graphics before installing it
[03:02] <ryan_> santiago: You can go to Synaptic Package Manager and find it or...
[03:03] <clearscreen> santiago: I believe compiz is installed by default (if not, it will automatically install if you change t he following settings:), you can change the level of eye-candy through System -> Preferences -> Apperance -> Visual Effects
[03:03] <musikgoat|main> !jaunty > jwormy
[03:03] <ryan_> sudo apt-get install synaptic-settings-manager - pretty sure that's the one you need Santiago
[03:04] <ryan_> sudo apt-get install compiz-settings-manager - pretty sure that's the one you need Santiago

[03:04] <FloodBot1> ariqs: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:04] <jwormy> ariqs: good work
[03:04] <Goldfisch> I need to track down the device file associated with my sound card. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
[03:04] <ryan_> Misukgoat: Oh, ok I didn't apt-get it when I installed
[03:04] <santiago> on visual effects y chose extra and now it is installing some drivers :S
[03:04] <ryan_> clearscreen: Um... do what? -D
[03:05] <ariqs> why is it just restarting over and over and over again!
[03:05] <clearscreen> ryan_: put a # in front of 'hiddenmenu' :P
[03:05] <clearscreen> and save
[03:05] <jwormy> ubottu: on it, thanks
[03:05] <jwormy> heh.. eh hem!
[03:06] <santiago> clearscreen: on visual effects i pressed on extra... and its installing some drivers.... and not loading anything.... stucked at 0%
[03:06] <santiago> nvm... it is not stuck
[03:06] <zeno> hi is it possible to dist-upgrade to 64 bit?
[03:06] <ryan_> clearscreen: Do I need to like... sudo gedit menu.lst?
[03:06] <clearscreen> ryan_: yes
[03:06] <ubotouou> i
[03:06] <Goldfisch> zeno: I don't think so. You are talking a whole different set of packages, not just versions.
[03:06] <ariqs> why does my apt-get keep restarting? it has restarted 64 times now
[03:07] <clearscreen> santiago: running compiz requires hardware acceleration, which means for nvidia cards you will need to run a closed-source proprietary graphics driver, thats probably what it's doing
[03:07] <santiago> i'll restart my computer
[03:07] <musikgoat|main> !paste | ariqs, Paste the errors you have -
[03:07] <ryan_> clearscreen: If I put a # in front of that, won't it just get rid of the countdown all together?
[03:08] <clearscreen> ryan_: nah, the countdown will stick, it just wont hide the boot menu
[03:08] <ryan_> clearscreen: Alright, rebooting, brb
[03:08] <clearscreen> im curious if it has anything to do with hiding the boot list
[03:09] <lacrymology> hello.  I dont even know how to diagnose this..
[03:09] <musikgoat|main> clearscreen: did he just change boot options?  he'll need to run update-grub afterwards
[03:09] <clearscreen> musikgoat|main: just menu.lst
[03:09] <musikgoat|main> but i read that too late
[03:09] <ariqs> http://paste.ubuntu.com/145874/ why is this happening?
[03:10] <adful123> !ot
[03:10] <musikgoat|main> ariqs: past your /etc/apt/sources.list  file
[03:11] <musikgoat|main> *paste
[03:11] <lacrymology> adful123: who was that for?
[03:11] <adful123> for me
[03:12] <adful123> hehe
[03:12] <ariqs> http://paste.ubuntu.com/145877/
[03:12] <lacrymology> oh. Well, bad boy! (??)
[03:12] <SvenZ> my sound does not work, i am a virgin to linux
[03:12] <SvenZ> someone help me pop my cherry?
[03:13] <ubotouou> SvenZ: look at alsamixer
[03:13] <ariqs> are you hot?
[03:13] <lacrymology> SvenZ: disgusting metaphor
[03:13] <lacrymology> =P
[03:13] <SvenZ> yes, i am hot
[03:13] <SvenZ> ubotouou, i looked at alsamixer
[03:13] <musikgoat|main> ariqs: run sudo apt-get update
[03:13] <lamvanan> lamvanan
[03:13] <ryan_> clearscreen: Now it just shows the kernal selector, along the bottom it says the highlited option will be booted in 3 seconds, but never counts down
[03:13] <musikgoat|main> ariqs: and see if you still get the errors when installing that
[03:13] <ubotouou> why can't i rename my .device.desktop to make it visible?
[03:14] <santiago> hey guys
[03:14] <santiago> i got the effects
[03:14] <santiago> but the basic ones
[03:14] <ariqs> W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY FC66403D8670A035
[03:14] <ariqs> W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
[03:14] <santiago> i still havent got compiz
[03:14] <clearscreen> ryan_: that's.... weird
[03:14] <SvenZ> where is rainman when you need him?
[03:14] <eqisow1> ubotouou: because that changes the file name and gnome expects .device.desktop
[03:14] <ariqs> that's what I get running apt-get update and it tells me to run it to correct its own problem ;p
[03:15]  * SvenZ any autistic savants out there willing to assist me?
[03:15] <clearscreen> ryan_: there is a bug submission for this on launchpad though: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+bug/288365
[03:15] <musikgoat|main> !gpgppa | ariqs
[03:15] <musikgoat|main> !gpgkey
[03:15] <ubotouou> eqisow1: it was device.desktop and i hid it by putting a dot but can't get it back to what it used to be
[03:16] <ariqs> !gpg
[03:16] <clearscreen> ryan_: apparently, someone fixed it by replacing the battery on their motherboard... it could be the cause of your problem, I am not certain
[03:16] <Cpudan80> Is it just me or is the ubuntu update server going *really* slow tonight?
[03:16] <rujin> HELLO  quick question.. i just downloaded a flash component but the playback speed on youtube lags any advice
[03:16] <ariqs> I don't even want to know the details of gpg. It's just an annoying feature I'll tune out and complain about
[03:17] <jrib> Cpudan80: use a local mirror

[03:17] <Cpudan80> jrib: is the main server having some kind of problem?
[03:17] <jrib> Cpudan80: I have no idea
[03:17] <davidstri> ping
[03:17] <clearscreen> rujin: installing the non-free flash plugin might help
[03:18] <davidstri> SPING
[03:18] <clearscreen> rujin: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree      and then make sure the new plugin is enabled in firefox under Tools -> Addons -> Plugins
[03:18] <rujin> thx clear
[03:18] <musikgoat|main> ariqs: so on to the problem, apt is trying to grab from medibuntu, but your sources.list doesn't indicate that repository
[03:19] <ariqs> so I can just add it there?
[03:19] <musikgoat|main> so either you left something out, or apt is acting all sorts of weird
[03:19] <musikgoat|main> ariqs: yes, you can try that

[03:24] <musikgoat|main> ok ariqs, so you do have it... one sec...
[03:24] <oobe> whats a quick an easy program i can use to add text and arrows to a jpeg image?
[03:24] <clearscreen> although some people would die for totem, lol
[03:24] <Excell> lol
[03:24] <eqisow1> oobe: gimp or krita should work for you
[03:24] <stryker> great thanks  :)
[03:24] <digitalexploit> oobe, gimp
[03:25] <clearscreen> oobe: gimp is installed by default
[03:25] <Stepan1> I need to make all my desktop icons all equal size like in windows, please assist
[03:25] <oobe> i know an use gimp
[03:25] <oobe> but i dont really now how to add text
[03:25] <oobe> or arrows
[03:25] <rujin> clearscreen i got - Couldn't find package flashplugin-nonfree
[03:25] <eqisow1> oobe: There's a button that has an "A" on it in tools...
[03:25] <rbil> oobe: just open the text tool and type in the text
[03:25] <digitalexploit> oobe, do you know photoshop?
[03:26] <oobe> eqisow1, thanks
[03:26] <oobe> digitalexploit, sort of i dont do much image editing
[03:26] <clearscreen> rujin: did you change your apt repositories?
[03:26] <Fezzler> My PC has an older AMD Athlon processor.  So I have to use an old nVidia driver.  But Intrepid does let me load it?
[03:26] <eqisow1> oobe: gimp actually does not have a line tool, though, which is why I suggested perhaps krita. You can freehand it, though
[03:27] <digitalexploit> oobe, GIMP is like photoshop
[03:27] <Fezzler> I used to load it from terminal - build it right from file off nvidia site
[03:27] <clearscreen> Fezzler: what does your amd processor have to do with an nvidia driver? what exactly is your question
[03:27] <rujin> clearscreen: i don't know what that is...where can i find it
[03:27] <Fezzler> don't know what to do
[03:27] <space_cadet> any way to make a screensaver the background of a GDM theme, like you can with xwinwrap.. is this possible?
[03:27] <lacrymology> hello.  I dont even know how to diagnose this..
[03:27] <rgov> I just installed a CLI-only version of 9.04 beta and I am having trouble with audio. mplayer seems to be running but doesn't produce anything audible, and cvlc gives a "Failed to conect to the D-Bus session daemon: dbus-launch failed to autolunch D-Bus session: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed."
[03:28] <digitalexploit> oobe, you will need to learn how to use a photo editing tool, read some books or online help.
[03:28] <Fezzler> driver is NVIDIA-LINUX-x86-100.14.19-pkg1.run
[03:28] <digitalexploit> oobe, thats why people pay others as graphic designers
[03:28] <clearscreen> Fezzler: save yourself the trouble and use jockey-gtk
[03:28] <oobe> krita sounds good im installing it now
[03:28] <eqisow1> digitalexploits: the man wants arrows and text, wth?
[03:28] <digitalexploit> oobe, ok :)
[03:28] <oobe> thank digitalexploit
[03:28] <Fezzler> clearscreen: What is that?
[03:29] <abhra> is there any flash plug in which supports opers for ubuntu?
[03:29] <clearscreen> Fezzler: it's a ubuntu gui utility that makes it easier to install hardware drivers
[03:29] <musikgoat|main> ariqs: hmm, i'm not finding much to explain a loop, but you could download this and install it: http://packages.medibuntu.org/pool/non-free/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_20071007-0medibuntu2.1_i386.deb
[03:29] <digitalexploit> eqisowl, true but its like teaching soeone server side scripting all day long and there is so much to learn
[03:29] <Fezzler> clearscreen: is it part of Intrepid install?  Do I have it?
[03:29] <ariqs> thanks
[03:29] <musikgoat|main> ariqs: I would suggest restarting to be safe though
[03:30] <musikgoat|main> ariqs: have you seen any other problems with apt
[03:30] <musikgoat|main> or in general?
[03:30] <clearscreen> Fezzler: it's installed by default, just run 'gksu jockey-gtk'
[03:30] <nonewmsgs> i did a new install of ubuntu intrepid on my dads computer but none of its windows have no titlebars.  afaik he isnt using compiz or any restricted drivers
[03:30] <eqisow1> rgov: have you installed and configured alsa?
[03:30] <tgr_> how do i find all mounted devices?
[03:30] <stealth-> whats the command to restart cups?
[03:30] <musikgoat|main> tgr_: "mount" in terminal
[03:30] <dsdeiz> mount?
[03:31] <stealth-> tgr_: mount
[03:31] <rujin> clearscreen: sry to be a bother i don't know what that is...
[03:31] <digitalexploit> nonewmsgs, what video card. also did you do a checksum on the CD/DVD before install? may have been a currpt burn or download
[03:31] <tgr_> thanks
[03:31] <stealth-> tgr_: mount will also give some info about security systems and such, but you can ignore it
[03:31] <tgr_> and if something is automounted how do i find the command that is given to linux to mount it
[03:31] <rgov> eqisow1: no, is that simply apt-get install alsa? how do i configure it otherwise?
[03:31] <nonewmsgs> digitalexploit, yeah i did md5.  and he's using the built in one
[03:31] <rgov> eqisow1: i should note, i had 8.04 installed yesterday and audio worked fine
[03:32] <Fezzler> clearscreen: ok, it's running.  now what?
[03:32] <tgr_> i am trying to automount my usb external hard drive
[03:32] <tgr_> but each time it gives a different device and different extension
[03:32] <digitalexploit> nonewmsgs, is it an intel card? or SIS?
[03:32] <tgr_> how do i resolve this?
[03:32] <jdu> tgr_ you mean different mount point?
[03:32] <Fezzler> clearscreen: how do i use it to install my specific driver
[03:32] <tgr_> /dev/scd0 on /media/cdrom0 type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev,utf8,user=ahren2)
[03:32] <stealth-> how can I restart a dameon? such as cups?
[03:32] <tgr_> /dev/sdb1 on /media/Iomega HDD type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096)
[03:33] <tgr_> /dev/sdc1 on /media/Iomega HDD_ type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096)
[03:33] <digitalexploit> stealth, sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart
[03:33] <stealth-> digitalexploit: thanks
[03:33] <eqisow1> rgov: linux-sound-base should be what you need, make sure channels are unmuted with alsamixer
[03:33] <musikgoat|main> tgr_: are you ejecting the USB disk?
[03:33] <digitalexploit> tgr_ are you putting it into a diffrent usb port each time?
[03:33] <rujin> anyone know where i can find the apt reposititories
[03:33] <tgr_> no same port
[03:34] <tgr_> no ejecting
[03:34] <stealth-> digitalexploit: um.... command not found :(
[03:34] <tgr_> i just unplug it
[03:34] <lacrymology> oh well
[03:34] <musikgoat|main> rujin: where on your computer?  /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:34] <digitalexploit> tgr_ you need to eject it before removal
[03:34] <TheFunkbomb> Hey, has 9.04 been released yet?
[03:34] <musikgoat|main> tgr_: digitalexploit explains ^^
[03:34] <eqisow1> !jaunty
[03:34] <tgr_> how do i do that, and how do i modify my /etc/fstab to place it in a specific media folder every time it comes on
[03:34] <duckthis> Hi
[03:34] <TheFunkbomb> Ah april 23rd.  I knew it was April
[03:35] <digitalexploit> stealth, sudo service cups restart
[03:35] <stealth-> !hi | duckthis
[03:35] <nonewmsgs> digitalexploit, intel
[03:35] <stealth-> digitalexploit: service?
[03:35] <musikgoat|main> tgr_: right click on the usb disk on your desktop, and select eject
[03:35] <digitalexploit> tgr_ you need to do a umount on the directory or device that it mounts
[03:35] <tgr_> ok
[03:35] <musikgoat|main> tgr_: or in any nautilus, on the left, click eject icon
[03:35] <digitalexploit> stealth yes to restart, start or stop the service.
[03:35] <duckthis> I'm under Ubuntu 9.04 Beta and I have some problems. Do I have to move on another channel to get support?
[03:35] <nonewmsgs> digitalexploit, i installed xubuntu and it works alright though
[03:35] <rujin> im just trying to install flashplugin-nonfree but it says couldn't be found i was told i mightve changed it in the apt repositories
[03:36] <rgov> eqisow1: i have linux-sound-base now, rebooted, made sure the master was on full volume, etc. no audio. same error from VLC. also added myself to pulse-rt group.
[03:36] <MHz128> Anyone know how to capture RTMP streaming video ???? help! :)
[03:36] <tgr_> how do i modify fstab to correlate to the usb port so every time i turn my computer on it automounts to specific folder like /media/exthd
[03:36] <duckthis> I'm under Ubuntu 9.04 Beta and I have some problems. Do I have to move on another channel to get support?
[03:36] <musikgoat|main> !file flashplugin-nonfree
[03:36] <musikgoat|main> !flashplugin-nonfree
[03:36] <stealth-> digitalexploit: ah, found it. its called cupsys, not cups
[03:36] <ericindc_> Running into a problem that I believe can be fixed per a comment in the documentation: "Event based conditions on Linux systems require the cn (connector) kernel module loaded or compiled in to the kernel".
[03:36] <tgr_> and how do i find which usb port it is
[03:36] <stealth-> digitalexploit: thanks, though
[03:36] <TheFunkbomb> ah new headers.  brb
[03:36] <tgr_> thanks for help so far btw
[03:36] <ericindc_> How difficult is the former (not trying to recompile a kernel)?
[03:36] <stryker> I need your help guys. I have a Nvidia card and I have to set my screen resolution on the  NVIDIA X server settings everytime I reboot ubuntu. Maybe I need to  have nvidia x server load and the startup?
[03:36] <digitalexploit> nonewmsgs, you may have to re-install ubuntu sounds lie something was a miss
[03:36] <dsdeiz> !info flashplugin-nonfree
[03:37] <jdu> tgr_  you add the device, then the mountpoint, then the filesystem, then options including noauto, then 0 0
[03:37] <musikgoat|main> thans dsdeiz
[03:37] <eqisow1> rgov: make sure you are in audio group as well. are you using a pcm out? optical, hdmi, etc?
[03:37] <digitalexploit> stealth, sorry im on beta and it was cups :p
[03:37] <Fezzler> the driver that jockey-gtk says my nvidia card should use does not work with my card
[03:37] <duckthis> Can I have some help from someone?
[03:37] <rujin> thx guys
[03:37] <stealth-> digitalexploit: ah, ill keep that in mind for the upgrade :)
[03:37] <Mr_Orange> If anyone can help with WPA2 PLEASE PM me!
[03:37] <musikgoat|main> rujin:  you can add multiverse to your apt sources... easiest way is system -> admin -> software sources
[03:37] <Fezzler> I know and have the driver but can't seem to load it anymore
[03:37] <jdu> tgr_:   man fstab
[03:37] <nonewmsgs> digitalexploit, thanks mate!
[03:38] <tgr_> jdu but my question is how do i know which port it is?
[03:38] <rujin> k ill try it out
[03:38] <tgr_> each time it loads it gives different dev file
[03:38] <digitalexploit> brb
[03:38] <Fezzler> will not let it build kernel
[03:38] <duckthis> Everybody: Who can help me with my internet? It's very slow.
[03:38] <rgov> eqisow1: ok, added myself to 'audio' too. its a regular 1/8th inch headphone jack.
[03:38] <upsuper> hello everyone~
[03:38] <tgr_> sdb1 sdc1 sdd1
[03:38] <musikgoat|main> tgr_: if you eject, then you wont have that problem
[03:39] <musikgoat|main> tgr_: it will always attempt the first available (udev is the tool that does this)
[03:39] <huntxu> upsuper: hi
[03:39] <tgr_> ok so how do i flush and start from scratch to find default device point without restart?
[03:39] <santiago> Dudes, i wanna download skype in my ubuntu 8.10 64 bits and i get an error message, something about i386 architecture
[03:39] <musikgoat|main> tgr_: hmm, not sure
[03:39] <jdu> tgr_:  It should always choose the same device under normal circumstances
[03:39] <tgr_> yes but it isn't :)
[03:39] <musikgoat|main> tgr_: you could look into restarting udev
[03:40] <tgr_> is that sudo udev restart?
[03:40] <jdu> tgr_ :  sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart
[03:40] <jdu> not really necessary though
[03:40] <Ropechoborra> To update from hardy to intrepid do i have to edit sources.list and replace "hardy" with "intrepid" and then do sudo apt-get upgrade ?
[03:41] <santiago> how can i install skype in a 64 bits ubuntu?
[03:41] <tgr_> maybe medibuntu
[03:41] <musikgoat|main> !dist-upgrade | Ropechoborra
[03:41] <jdu> Ropechoborra, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[03:41] <Ropechoborra> Thanks :)
[03:41] <eqisow1> santiago: skype is a propriatary program and so may not have 64bit support yet
[03:41] <tgr_> i think i have to restart to see
[03:41] <santiago> oh that sux
[03:42] <tgr_> so EVERY time i unplug my ext hd i have to umount it or eject it?
[03:42] <musikgoat|main> yes
[03:42] <tgr_> make a deb file from it
[03:42] <tgr_> for skype maybe
[03:42] <rujin> guys i know i sound like an idiot but once im in software sources how do i get the multiverse?
[03:42] <santiago> how can i do that, i{m a total noob
[03:42] <Fezzler> when I stop X server to do some work in shell, do I lose my wireless network connection?
[03:42] <santiago> ?
[03:42] <jdu> tgr_  YES,  otherwise you risk filesystem damage.
[03:42] <musikgoat|main> rujin: there should be a checkbox under the first tab, ubuntu software
[03:43] <musikgoat|main> "software restricted by copyrights
[03:43] <jdu> Fezzler:  why must you stop the x server?
[03:43] <jdu> Fezzler, if you go to a virtual terminal, it is still running
[03:43] <tgr_> santiago http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=432295
[03:43] <santiago> thanx tgr_
[03:43] <rujin> ok right its checked off, so what do i do from here
[03:44] <tgr_> yep
[03:44] <musikgoat|main> rujin: select close, then select reload
[03:44] <tgr_> ok i will do reboot to see
[03:44] <rujin> gotcha
[03:44] <tgr_> but last question is if i forget or it gets unplugged how do i remount it to default directory?
[03:44] <Fezzler> jdu: trying to load an older nvidia driver
[03:44] <bosco> is there a program that has a gui for creating bootable iso images
[03:44] <bosco> ???
[03:44] <digitalexploit> tgr_ you might have to remove all the directories it created
[03:45] <duckthis> Can someone help me?
[03:45] <musikgoat|main> tgr_: don't think of /dev   mount points as being default in any way
[03:45] <jrib> !ask | duckthis
[03:45] <Stepan1> How can I make all desktop icons equal size? (not stretching each one, automatically)
[03:45] <tgr_> i need something so that when i am downloading torrents to my ext hdd it doesn't give incorrect filepaths
[03:45] <tgr_> i am getting errors because of this
[03:45] <duckthis> My internet is slow under Ubuntu 9.04 beta. Help?
[03:45] <jrib> tgr_: huh?
[03:46] <jrib> !jaunty | duckthis
[03:46] <jdu> Fezzler,  as networking relies on NetworkManager, you might.  You can use ifconfig to get online without NetworkManager but you will have no dns support.
[03:46] <musikgoat|main> tgr_: what you could do is figure out the UUID of your ext hard drive, then mount that... then you don't have to worry what /dev  is selected
[03:46] <Fezzler> jdu: every time I upgrade, Ubuntu loads a newer nvidia driver that does not work with my graphics card / CPU
[03:46] <tgr_> i need to organize the mounting so that if i unplug it or it gets turned off my torrent program will continue running normally
[03:46] <digitalexploit> bosco, I dont think there is most of the time you need to use dd after you created the distro, but follow this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=27983
[03:46] <tgr_> and how do i do that?
[03:46] <musikgoat|main> tgr_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=429285
[03:46] <Fezzler> jdu: is it possible the old driver does not work with Intrepid kernel?
[03:46] <jdu> possible.
[03:46] <masque7> how can i get ALSA to be able to play 2 audio at same time?
[03:46] <rujin> ok so once reloaded should i try to do sudo install free falsh thing?
[03:47] <tgr_> and how would i turn off automount for it?
[03:47] <jdu> Fezzler, I expect it would though
[03:47] <bosco> digitalexploit, know i had to change some files in a windows iso and now i want to make it an iso again??? how do i go about doing that
[03:47] <tgr_> because it does it automatically now
[03:47] <jrib> rujin: something like that
[03:47] <musikgoat|main> tgr_: if you create a mount entry in fstab, that will take priority
[03:47] <digitalexploit> bosco, are you in windows? or linux
[03:47] <digitalexploit> tgr_ /etc/fstab
[03:47] <bosco> digitalexploit, ubuntu
[03:47] <Fezzler> jdu: well, I used to repair it by dropping to shell, running the driver and have it build the kernel - now it fails
[03:48] <tgr_> thanks a lot guys
[03:48] <tgr_> this is great
[03:48] <thrillERboy> hi guys how to extract rar files inside ubuntu?
[03:48] <jrib> !rar | thrillERboy
[03:48] <steve_baker> i have ubuntu server 8.04 installed and would like to put the monitor to sleep when inactive
[03:48] <jdu> Fezzler, I would have to look into it more to know, but you may be right.  You built custom kernels?
[03:48] <Fezzler> http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_100.14.19.html
[03:48] <digitalexploit> bosco, isomaster may help you
[03:49] <steve_baker> setterm doesn't seem to dow anything
[03:49] <rgov> eqisow1: it's just a typical dell box, shouldn't be any abnormal hardware in there. not sure where the problem is
[03:49] <digitalexploit> bosco, http://ubuntufriends.wordpress.com/2007/03/31/edit-and-create-your-bootable-iso-image-the-easy-way/
[03:49] <Fezzler> jdu: the installer does it
[03:49] <musikgoat|main> tgr_: so there doesn't seem to be clear instructions on setting up by uuid on ubuntu forums (that i can google)  but this is a clear instruction set  http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-finding-using-uuids-to-update-fstab/
[03:49] <Fezzler> BRB
[03:49] <thrillERboy> thanks tgr_
[03:50] <tgr_> my fstab does not show the uuid of my external hd
[03:50] <steve_baker> anyone know how to get ubuntu server to put monitor into sleep mode?
[03:50] <jdu> tgr_ add the device instead
[03:51] <musikgoat|main> tgr_: the instructions in the link i just gave shows you how to determine your uuid (blkid command)
[03:51] <jdu> steve_baker, run it headless
[03:51] <digitalexploit> tgr_ in a terminal once you plug it in and its mounted you can always do this "df -m" should show the device and the mounting point
[03:51] <jdu> ;)
[03:51] <steve_baker> its a laptop
[03:51] <steve_baker> :P
[03:51] <blackmamba> can someone help me...I can not for the life of me figure out how to burn cd-r music cds
[03:51] <ryan_> Konversation automatically logs chats?
[03:52] <steve_baker> jdu: if that is my only option i guess i could tear the laptop apart and unplug the monitor
[03:52] <musikgoat|main> digitalexploit: he wants to mount by uuid so that he can pull his ext HD out without ejecting and corrupt the filesystem :-P
[03:52] <steve_baker> just seems like there should be some way
[03:52] <jdu> steve_baker, then headless might not be the best option.  That cannot be the only option.  Close the lid?
[03:52] <digitalexploit> musikgaot|main ic
[03:52] <steve_baker> its an old alienware that will overheat with the lid closed
[03:52] <steve_baker> piece of crap
[03:52] <steve_baker> lol
[03:52] <musikgoat|main> j/k tgr_ :-)
[03:53] <jdu> Fezzler, unfortunately, I don't know.
[03:53] <digitalexploit> musikgoat|main does ubuntu still use hotplug?
[03:53] <tgr_> so how do i turn off the automount feature then for the hard drive
[03:53] <masque7> !jewbuntu
[03:53] <musikgoat|main> dunno, i thought udev controlled that stuff
[03:53] <tgr_> so that i can mount the user uuid first
[03:53] <tgr_> not first i mean instead
[03:53] <masque7> !7zip
[03:54] <blackmamba> Everytime I try to burn a cd it puts the folder on the cd instead of the songs...
[03:54] <riegersn> is there a way to hide non-mounted devices in the places list for nautilus?
[03:54] <masque7> !aircrack
[03:54] <musikgoat|main> tgr_: if you create an entry in /etc/fstab   when you plug in the drive that matches that UUID, it will be mounted with that instruction rather than automounting
[03:54] <bosco> digitalexploit, thanks that worked geting done right now
[03:54] <masque7> !backtrack
[03:54] <tgr_> ok great
[03:54] <riegersn> is there a way to hide non-mounted devices in the places list for nautilus? i have like 20 'smartmedia drive', 'compactflash drive'... and so one
[03:54] <digitalexploit> bosco, welcome
[03:54] <masque7> !irssi
[03:54] <musikgoat|main> !msgthebot > masque7
[03:54] <tgr_> but for reference is there a way i can find the automounting scripts that are generated in the computer?
[03:55] <meoblast001> hi... i just download gnash and youtube videos won't play.... could someone help me?

[03:55] <musikgoat|main> PCTeacher012: your wrong
[03:56] <PCTeacher012> musikgoat|main: Mine had to be on ext 3 and linux-swap
[03:56] <musikgoat|main> !worksforme
[03:56] <PCTeacher012> music: So i supposed it must
[03:56] <digitalexploit> euzao, yes it can but you need the NTFS tools installed
[03:56] <xsg> Yes how do i unrar files or is there a program to unrar files like winrar etc ??
[03:56] <masque7> euzao: NTFS-3g
[03:56] <nizmow> it can't be installed to NTFS
[03:56] <nizmow> but it CAN write to existing NTFS partitions
[03:56] <digitalexploit> euzao, warning thoguh it can screw up your NTFS partition
[03:56] <jrib> !unrar | xsg
[03:56] <euzao> I don't want to install it on NTFS

[03:58] <musikgoat|main> jrib: whats he missing?
[03:58] <PCTeacher012> if i resize the partition of Ubuntu, will it cause damage to ubuntu therefore not allowing me to access my files? I dont want to upload files to site, do not currently have flash drive, and no ext hard drive
[03:59] <SpenceKid> i'm not quite sure, i seen a youtube video and this guy did a bunch of crazy shit, but i dont know how to access any of the settings
[03:59] <tony> there was a wiki page on ubuntu regarding laptop mode

[03:59] <PCTeacher012> if i resize the partition of Ubuntu, will it cause damage to ubuntu therefore not allowing me to access my files? I dont want to upload files to site, do not currently have flash drive, and no ext hard drive
[04:00] <musikgoat|main> jrib: heh, i was confused :-P
[04:00] <edogzilla> has anyone tried to install the version 96 nvidia driver in 8.10? has it caused any problems for you?
[04:00] <digitalexploit> blackmamba do you have k3b installed?
[04:00]  * jrib swears that 1 wasn't there before
[04:00] <Cpudan80> Hey guys
[04:00] <masque7> SpenceKid: sudo apt-get install fusion-icon
[04:00] <Cpudan80> I got a weird sound problem
[04:00] <digitalexploit> blackmamba, in a terminal try "sudo apt-get install k3b"
[04:00] <PCTeacher012> Cpudan80:
[04:00] <PCTeacher012> problem?
[04:00] <Cpudan80> I plug my headphones in - and the music still comes out the laptop speaker
[04:00] <PCTeacher012> if i resize the partition of Ubuntu, will it cause damage to ubuntu therefore not allowing me to access my files? I dont want to upload files to site, do not currently have flash drive, and no ext hard drive

[04:00] <Cpudan80> It's a dell Studio XPS
[04:01] <SpenceKid> i did that and this was the feed back: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[04:01] <tgr_> thanks a lot so far
[04:01] <tgr_> one last question
[04:01] <PCTeacher012> Cpudan80: Okay, that is not something i know, sorry, I thought sound went out every so often, never had that problem. Is it plugged in correct port (Correct hole)
[04:01] <masque7> SpenceKid: sudo apt-get compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-fusion-plugins-extra emerald librsvg2-common
[04:01] <digitalexploit> PCTeacher012, first off backup the hard drive with norton ghost clone drive whatever, there is always a chance it can make a mess
[04:01] <blackmamba> i have k3b
[04:02] <Cpudan80> PCTeacher012: yes
[04:02] <digitalexploit> blackmamba, http://www.dragonblogger.com/2008/10/creating-music-cds-mp3-files-ubuntu-hardy-heron/
[04:02] <PCTeacher012> digitalexploit: Dont have that, i have old computer (8-10) and am going to reinstall windows, ubuntu doesnt meet my need :( so if i partition it to install windows, and it happens to damage it, can i not get in it?
