[04:29] <Beryllium> jay-oh-en: Is it possible that your network cable has been damaged, or your wireless connection is catching interference?
[04:29] <elux> when i "reload" in synaptic, i notice every server fails when trying to load: Package, Translation-en_US http://security.ubuntu.com gutsy-security/universe
[04:29] <elux> what is goin on here?
[04:29] <__Oz__> tanath: maybe.
[04:29] <prince_jammys> nickrud: libdvdcss2?
[04:29] <__Oz__> tanath: I wasted a few hours trying to get it to burn a dvd. Finally gave up.
[04:29] <nickrud> prince_jammys: yes
[04:29] <EnvoyRising> dogpigeoncow: "sudo apt-get install build-essential"from command line
[04:29] <tanath> damn
[04:29] <dogpigeoncow> yes i know
[04:29] <__Oz__> I had a problem with DeVeDe distorting the audio but found a flag to include as a workaround in the command line to fix that prob, so that's what I use.
[04:29] <EnvoyRising> dogpigeoncow: then perhaps i misunderstand your question
[04:29] <jay-oh-en> Beryllium, its not wireless and i just bought this cable 30 days ago and no damage on it from what i can se
[04:29] <jay-oh-en> see
[04:29] <chrisb_> @NigelS    thanks, that fixed most of it
[04:29] <Beryllium> is it in tight on both ends
[04:29] <fredsua> nickrud: I've done that already and didn't work
[04:30] <devo> What's the hotkey for changing desktops?
[04:30] <dogpigeoncow> it now wants me to put the ubuntu disk in, is that normal?
[04:30] <chicagonpg_>  Memtest shuts down computer does anyone know why? Running 64bit AMD athlon X2 thanks
[04:30] <Osiris2014> any one here in LinuxSA?
[04:30] <chrisb_> @NigelS    i still got some more errors, but on later scripts with different header files
[04:30] <__Oz__> devo: ctrl-alt-left arrow or right arrow
[04:30] <Scunizi> devo, ctrl+alt+arrow
[04:30] <NigelS> chrisb_: yes, probably ncurses-dev for one
[04:30] <nickrud> fredsua: hm, what happens when you insert a dvd?
[04:30] <EnvoyRising> ctrl + alt + right arrow/ left arrow
[04:30] <devo> __Oz__, thanks.
[04:30] <dogpigeoncow> envoyrising: it asks for the ubuntu cd, is that normal?
[04:30] <chrisb_> @NigelS    you're right, of course
[04:30] <Osiris2014> any one here in LinuxSA?
[04:30] <chrisb_> @NigelS    installed with the apt-get?
[04:31] <dogpigeoncow> as in south africa? yes im from south africa :)
[04:31] <fredsua> want to go into chat room?
[04:31] <ph0rensic> whats up suckas
[04:31] <Les_Caesars> hey, is there a way I can eject a CD drive with just one key on the keyboard? Like in Mac
[04:31] <tickbee> Anyone have any ideas? I just built a software raid 5 with mdadm and 3 drives, after rebooting, one of the drives goes missing, but i can see the drive as /dev/hdd, but it has no partition on it anymore, /dev/hdd1, i can see my other two just fine, /dev/hde1 and /dev/hdg1, what happened to the first drives partition?
[04:31] <EnvoyRising> dogpigeoncow: just go to synaptic and disable cd from repos
[04:31] <nickrud> fredsua: I prefer to keep it here, in case someone catches something I miss
[04:31] <lgc> nickrud, someone told me I can clone a Windows partition to a virtualized one instead of installing it fresh. Was it you?
[04:31] <__Oz__> devo: we thrill to chill here at #ubuntu.  You are welcome, and ask questions of us here anytime.
[04:31] <NigelS> chicagonpg_: it could on that architecture be accidentally triggering your CPU to shutdown - that would be funny - but have you googled?
[04:31] <Beryllium> Les_Caesars: You could use xbindkeys to alias a keycode to the eject command
[04:31] <Osiris2014> i mean LinuxSouthAus
[04:31] <NigelS> chrisb_: yep
[04:31] <nickrud> fredsua: helps if you use my nick in your replies, it's red in my client
[04:31] <EnvoyRising> dogpigeoncow: then sudo apt-get update && sudo-apt get install build-essentials
[04:32] <NigelS> chrisb_: this one: libncurses5-dev
[04:32] <Les_Caesars> Beryllium: does eject toggle?  I've heard that as well, but never tried
[04:32] <EnvoyRising> dogpigeoncow: with the cdrom disabled from repolist, it should fetch most recent stable version from internet isntead
[04:32] <fredsua> nickrud: okay, when I insert a DVD movie, the drive pops up in the desktop with the movie name, then VLM opens up to play it and I get an error
[04:32] <Beryllium> Les_Caesars: I believe it has an option to do that, yes
[04:32] <emma> My nautilus just crashed again, this time without the external hard drive mounted. So it's not the external hard drive.
[04:32] <ph0rensic> lgc, I know you can create a virtual image of your disc to use in vmware
[04:32] <dogpigeoncow> it wont let me into synaptics
[04:32] <chicagonpg_> NIGels yes I have and I have found nothing. This is a new system build and I have no problem other wise
[04:32] <nickrud> fredsua: vlc? what's the error?
[04:32] <dogpigeoncow> cant get exclusive lock
[04:32] <gary4gar> icannot open portable USB hdd, http://pastebin.com/d632be116
[04:33] <chicagonpg_> Only in memtest
[04:33] <chrisb_> @NigelS    thanks, i've started tracking down a few other missing ones aswell
[04:33] <dogpigeoncow> envoyrising: cant get exclusive lock
[04:33] <lgc> ph0rensic, you mean a virtual image of your partition?
[04:33] <Osiris2014> any one here in LinuxSouthAustralia?
[04:33] <ph0rensic> dogpigeoncow, You have something installing on command line?
[04:33] <fredsua> nickrud: yes sorry, VLC.  The error reads:  Unable to open 'dvdsimple:///dev/scd0'
[04:33] <EnvoyRising> dogpigeoncow: what else do you have running?
[04:33] <EnvoyRising> dogpigeoncow: if you are currently apt-getting something else or running an update, it'll say that
[04:33] <ph0rensic> lgc, well yes i believe that would be the case, but i think I've only seen it for vmware
[04:33]  * __Oz__ suddenly and inexplicably freaks out.
[04:33] <nickrud> fredsua: that's definitely not a libdvdcss error. This happens with every cd?
[04:34] <ph0rensic> lgc, what are you trying to do exactly?
[04:34] <EnvoyRising> dogpigeoncow: if you are and don't want to stop those processes, you can always just comment out the cdrom repo from your/etc/apt/sources.list file
[04:34] <fredsua> nickrud: yes it does
[04:34] <EnvoyRising> be sure to sudo gedit/nano/vim or whatever into it so you can save changes
[04:34] <EnvoyRising> brb
[04:34] <nickrud> fredsua: try using file->open disc on the vlc menu
[04:34] <dogpigeoncow> ok i am in synaptics
[04:35] <lgc> ph0rensic, clone an operating Windows partition into a virtualized one without having to install Windows from zero in the virtualized partition.
[04:35] <emma> I think it might be happening because of 'too many open files'
[04:35] <dogpigeoncow> where do i do that?
[04:35] <fredsua> nickrud: I have used that and nothing.  I have every single libdvdcss out there, LOL
[04:35] <EnvoyRising> open up a command prompt (or if you already have one open but it's busy, ctrl+alt+t
[04:35] <prince_jammys> fredsua: are you able to view the contents of a data cd?
[04:36] <EnvoyRising> then "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"
[04:36] <nickrud> fredsua: not libdvdcss, it's something at the hardware level. Does the dvd show up on your desktop?
[04:36] <ph0rensic> lgc, yah thats possible from what I understand, with vmware. Basically it will make an appliance of your windows partition to be used in the player
[04:36] <fredsua> nickrud: yes I can see the files in the DVD
[04:36] <EnvoyRising> ctrl+f then look for CD. comment that line out
[04:36] <Bert_> Hi i need help with my wireless network on Ubuntu, i cant get any internet
[04:36] <NigelS> chicagonpg_: it could be a fault with the memory - possibly - have you tried testing the sticks individually?
[04:36] <ray_> hey i have a creative zen 4gb i have tried gnomad2 to get my music on there and it isnt working any help?
[04:36] <fredsua> nickrud: yes the DVD pops up in the desktop
[04:37] <EnvoyRising> deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 7.10.... <line starts like that
[04:37] <chicagonpg_> Nigels no I haven't but that is a very good Idea, I will try that. Thanks
[04:37] <nickrud> fredsua: try opening it in totem:  totem dvd://
[04:37] <NigelS> chicagonpg_: yes, make sure they're operating at correct voltage etc
[04:38] <Bert_> Hi i need help with my wireless network on Ubuntu, i cant get any internet
[04:38] <dogpigeoncow> ok envoy i have disapbled CDROM in repos
[04:38] <dogpigeoncow> lets do it again
[04:38] <EnvoyRising> dogpigeoncow: dont' forget to sudo apt-get update as well
[04:38] <dogpigeoncow> the other stuff
[04:38] <tickbee> Anyone have any ideas why one of my hard drives formatted in ext3, would suddenly lose it's partition?  I see the disk as /dev/hdd but there is no /dev/hdd1 anymore.  This drive was part of a software raid 5 using mdadm, somehow ubuntu lost the partition after restarting.  When I do fdisk -l, i can see the /dev/hdd1 though???
[04:38] <fredsua> nickrud: I deleted totem since it was giving me the same error.  The reason I got rid of it is because I read that VLM is much better
[04:38] <chicagonpg_> Nigels I'm kind of a dummy on that how will I know the right voltage?
[04:39] <nickrud> fredsua: it's better for dvds, totem has it's uses
[04:39] <dogpigeoncow> done
[04:39] <chrisb_> @NigelS    thanks,  it looks like it's going to work
[04:39] <EnvoyRising> tickbee: not a hd genius but does manually mounting produce errors?
[04:39] <NigelS> chicagonpg_: SPD should configure it but I wouldn't trust it - check out your mem manufacturer's site for exact specs-  I would try out each stick individually first though, see if that's it
[04:39] <nickrud> fredsua: type mount in a terminal (with the dvd inserted) and tell me what device (dev/<device>) the dvd is mounted as
[04:40] <fredsua> nickrud: when I had it, it did not work.  I've tried opening movies with Mplayer and others similar and I get the same result
[04:40] <EnvoyRising> dogpigeoncow: side not, if ./configure produces errors about a package not being found, make sure you have the "-dev(el)" version of that package installed as well
[04:40] <ph0rensic> brb
[04:40] <EnvoyRising> side note*
[04:40] <nickrud> fredsua: I believe you :)
[04:40] <chicagonpg_> Nigels sound like a good plan you have been very helpful
[04:41] <NigelS> chicagonpg_: np
[04:41] <tickbee> EnvoyRising: trying to mount it manually just gives me an error saying it can't find the device
[04:41] <ajushi> hi, how i remove postgresql-8.1?i want to install 8.2
[04:41] <tickbee> EnvoyRising: in either /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[04:41] <gary4gar> i cannot open portable USB hdd, http://pastebin.com/d632be116
[04:41] <fredsua> nickrud: I'm not sure so I'll send you the results
[04:41] <EnvoyRising> tickbee: that was going to be my next question :-\
[04:41] <fredsua> nickrud: Unable to open 'dvdsimple:///dev/scd0'
[04:42] <EnvoyRising> exactly when did it stop recognizing your device?
[04:42] <nickrud> fredsua: you can put the output from mount on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[04:42] <urface> Does anybody know if I can make the Icons in Evolution Mail at the top smaller?
[04:42] <urface> thus use up an aweful lot of room
[04:42] <Devourer> What's the console command to see all the processes running?
[04:42] <emma> My nautilus just crashed again. This time I found some info in the xsession-errors, could someone take a look? --- http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56582/
[04:43] <Liono_> pam is the pluggable authentication modules framework used by some unix(-ish) systems. it logs unsuccessful screen unlock events but not succesful ones in auth.log. i need succesful ones too. can i replace this pam with the one that does logs? or any other solutions    ?
[04:43] <crhylove> Hi I just got booted into failsafe gnome, after updates.  Any help?
[04:43] <dogpigeoncow> envoyrising: couldnt find package build-esentials
[04:43] <crhylove> i mean, regular login just goes right back to login screen after brief black screen.
[04:43] <urface> Devourer, ps -ax
[04:43] <crhylove> any idea how to get my regular gnome back?
[04:43] <DoYouKnow> dogpigeoncow, two "s"
[04:43] <fredsua> nickrud: open your chat really quick so that I can copy and past the results
[04:44] <Devourer> urface, thanks.
[04:44] <jrod> hello
[04:44] <Overlord_David> Hello.
[04:44] <jrod> how would someone go about backing up their entire ubuntu system applications and all?
[04:44] <crhylove> Also, upon boot, the screen seems set to 640x480.
[04:44] <Osiris2014> any one here in LinuxSouthAustralia?
[04:44] <nickrud> crhylove: clt-alt-f2 , sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg , clt-alt-f7. Should reset everything to normal for you
[04:44] <crhylove> rather than the normal 1280x 1024
[04:44] <DoYouKnow> dogpigeoncow, build-essentials
[04:44] <crhylove> nickrud: thanks!
[04:45] <Hammer89> Hello... I've been having some issues with stuff initializing properly on my computer... my last issue I couldn't get nautilus to run... and it returned a message saying it was a problem with bonobo-activation-server... so I killed bonobo-activation-server and re-ran it... then everything worked properly.... thing is, this keeps occurring... and I'd appreciate any help I could get in figuring out what the root of the problem is, or an
[04:45] <Hammer89> y possible fixes
[04:45] <dogpigeoncow> sudo apt-get update && sudo-apt get install build-essentials
[04:45] <dogpigeoncow> i mean
[04:45] <dogpigeoncow> E: Couldn't find package build-essentials
[04:45] <DoYouKnow> build-essential
[04:45] <nickrud> dogpigeoncow: no s on essential
[04:45] <DoYouKnow> there's no s
[04:45] <jrod> anyone?
[04:45] <dogpigeoncow> ooooooh
[04:45] <DoYouKnow> yeah, lol
[04:45] <emma> My Nautilus is crashing chronically. I have a pastebin if anyone thinks they could help me figure out what's going on.
[04:45] <nickrud> DoYouKnow: you said essentials ;p
[04:46] <EnvoyRising> dogpigeoncow: thats my mistake, dunno why i put an s there. installed the package so many times :P
[04:46] <fredsua> nickrud: is posted now
[04:46] <nickrud> fredsua: could you tell me the url to look at?
[04:46] <EnvoyRising> emma. whats the url?
[04:46] <DoYouKnow> after much discovery, there is apparently an extra s at the end of what you said and an "s" lacking in the meat of the word
[04:46] <Kalamansi> hello how to configure my 10 statics ip of my isp? I have 4 NICs...i want to use my static isp
[04:46] <simps> Does anyone know how to add to the clipboard or see the clipboard via terminal commands?
[04:46] <FourX4Luvn> That is why you 'apt-get install build-essen<tab>'  :)
[04:46] <fredsua> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56583/
[04:46] <Overlord_David> I have a few questions about product functionality on Ubuntu... I just ordered a Wifi Link brand Wifi dongle and I'm a bit worried about it not working on my Ubuntu. Also I'd like to know if Gamebridge works on it, and if not what would work to record gameplay vids?
[04:46] <emma> EnvoyRising,  here it is -- http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56582/
[04:47] <fredsua> nickrud: sorry, I'm new at this
[04:47] <dogpigeoncow> envoyrising: but now it doesnt say anything is installed
[04:47] <Osiris2014> any one here in LinuxSouthAustralia?
[04:47] <nickrud> fredsua: no problem. And I'm beginning to think I'm stumped.
[04:47] <zetheroo> anyone?
[04:47] <EnvoyRising> dogpigeoncow: so it says 0 packages to install or that the package can't be found?
[04:48] <dogpigeoncow> 0 packages to install
[04:48] <nickrud> fredsua: thinking, sorta
[04:48] <Overlord_David> Does anyone know about that sort of thing?
[04:48] <crhylove> It's telling me xserver-xorg is not available, and there is no information available.
[04:48] <simps> Does anyone know how to add to the clipboard or see the clipboard via terminal commands?
[04:48] <ac1d> download a networking tool called 'Dynamips' in a .bin form but when i try to use it it says... 'No app suitable for automatically installing this app'
[04:48] <ac1d> what do i do?
[04:49] <emma> wow it looks like even the ubuntu-pastebin isn't working right.
[04:49] <N6REJ> anyone know anything about the ubuntu-studio 64bit not working on install?
[04:49] <fredsua> nickrud: I ran this software called gxine which does a check of the drive
[04:49] <EnvoyRising> dogpigeoncow: then its already installed it woudl seem
[04:49] <alanna> hey, I am installing wine, why do I get this while ./configure : checking for C compiler default output file name
[04:49] <prince_jammys> !info xserver-xorg
[04:49] <ubotu> xserver-xorg (source: xorg): the X.Org X server. In component main, is optional. Version 1:7.2-5ubuntu13 (gutsy), package size 409 kB, installed size 1272 kB
[04:49] <N6REJ> ac 1d .bin is for mac
[04:49] <EnvoyRising> just need the devel packages to meet dependencies so you can build whatever it is you want to build from source
[04:49] <alanna> what package do I get for: configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[04:49] <nickrud> fredsua: and? gxine is a decent dvd player also
[04:49] <crhylove> I'm not very good with the command line, is there a way to reconfigure xserver-xorg in the gui?
[04:49] <ac1d> N6REJ: then what could i use?
[04:49] <N6REJ> for?
[04:49] <jeebs> uhm...how do i switch to super user on fluxbuntu?
[04:50] <nickrud> crhylove: no, you have to use that command to reconfigure X
[04:50] <ac1d> N6REJ: it only comes in a .bin or a .exe form... and i really need this program called 'Dynmaips' how else could i install it?
[04:50] <N6REJ> ac 1d i take that back there are some *nix files that are that way too but few
[04:50] <crhylove> When I did that it said package doesn't exist.
[04:50] <jrod> @ crhylove try sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.cong
[04:50] <fredsua> nickrud: when I run the wizard setup the drive is not found and the DMA is not found
[04:50] <jrod> * xorg.cong
[04:50] <prince_jammys> jeebs  sudo <command>
[04:50] <jrod> *xorg.conf
[04:50] <Leechzilla> Though my sound works, there is no output from the headphone jack and SPDIF port. Do I need to compile ALSA from source or is there another alternative?
 crhylove: no, you have to use that command to reconfigure X
[04:50] <N6REJ> ac1d what is it?
[04:50] <EnvoyRising> emma i couldn't really gather anything from pastebin except for the obvious "maybe you're opening too much at once" assumption. anyone else got any ideas?
[04:50] <LiraNuna> I think he means sudo dpkg-reconfigure zxserver-xorg
[04:51] <fredsua> nickrud: could be something with the DMA?
[04:51] <Overlord_David> Does anyone know?
[04:51] <nickrud> fredsua: yeah, it's about the hardware, and I'm not real good at hardware issues.
[04:51] <ac1d> N6REJ: a cisco networking simulator kind of like Packet tracer except more advanced
[04:51] <Kalamansi> hello how to install adobe player in ubuntu? so I could read some adobe products
[04:51] <N6REJ> ac1d: did you check the repository?
[04:51] <ac1d> N6REJ: nope...
[04:51] <ac1d> N6REJ: ill have a look
[04:51] <nickrud> crhylove: you probably mistyped:   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg  (or I mistyped, this is spelled correctly)
[04:51] <N6REJ> and its dynamips
[04:51] <N6REJ> lol
[04:51] <EnvoyRising> Leechzilla: i know i always have to change the output under preferences to headphones to get my stuff working
[04:52] <ac1d> N6REJ: gosh, i have great spelling lol
[04:52] <EnvoyRising> i assume you've already tried that though
[04:52] <fredsua> nickrud: if it was working fine in windows xp, do you really think it would be a hardware problem?
[04:52] <N6REJ> ac1d: http://swik.net/User:blindhog/Tips+and+Tutorials+-+Linux+.%3A+Cisco+%3A.+VOIP/GNS3+-+Installation+Tutorial+for+Linux/b1z43
[04:52] <nickrud> fredsua: I've got to punt this one myself. When you describe the error, add the exact error from vlc and from gxine to your question
[04:52] <EnvoyRising> ac1d: its ok, we aren't spelling/grammar junkies here
[04:52] <Leechzilla> EnvoyRising: How do I do that?
[04:52] <nickrud> fredsua: reading hardware by linux I mean
[04:52] <emma> It seems unusual that a person could open too much at once. I'm just opening music. But some times I switch between them quickly. Could it be that when you click on music to open it, it doesn't really close the other one so to speak?
[04:53] <Kalamansi> how to install a pdf? so I could view pdf files of ebook and flash player?
[04:53] <N6REJ> nope only said it so he'd find it int he repo
[04:53] <EnvoyRising> Leechzilla: right click on the volume control in the notification area (top right by default) and click preferences
[04:53] <Liono_> pam is the pluggable authentication modules framework used by some unix(-ish) systems. it logs unsuccessful screen unlock events but not succesful ones in auth.log. i need succesful ones too. can i replace this pam with the one that does logs? or any other solutions --   ?
[04:53] <N6REJ> Kalamansi: install the adobe reader from repo or use the one in FF
[04:53] <EnvoyRising> click on Headphones in the little box at the bottom
[04:53] <ac1d> EnvoyRising: hehehe, much love!
[04:54] <Overlord_David> Wow... nobody at all?
[04:54] <Leechzilla> EnvoyRising: And select Headphones from there? That's it? It's supposed to detect a headphone plugged in instead of me having to do it manually. Not just that, the SPDIF port also doesn't work.
[04:54] <EnvoyRising> ac1d: now, that might change once you visit the ubuntu-english-class channel\
[04:54] <fredsua> nickrud: I really like linux ubuntu, but if I can't play a DVD movie on my drive then is worthless
[04:54] <N6REJ> Overlord_David: what?
[04:54] <N6REJ> fredsua: ubuntu can play dvd
[04:54]  * jeebs pounds the keyboard into his face
[04:54] <chipset> How?
[04:54] <EnvoyRising> Leechzilla: well, i've had mixed results with mixed hardware. on my desktop it did it automatically, but with this hp laptop (intel hda audio) it didn't
[04:54] <nickrud> fredsua: don't take my failure as a letdown, I'm no expert on dvd playback. Others that pass through here know a lot more than I do.
[04:54] <ph0rensic> everyone with their "if I cant X i'm going back to windows..."
[04:55] <Leechzilla> EnvoyRising: I'm using a laptop too
[04:55] <nickrud> fredsua: also, you might find some smarter help on #vlc
[04:55] <Overlord_David> As I asked. I ordered a wifi-link (wifi max) wifi dongle. I'm afraid of it not working. Will it work? And also does game bridge work? If not what could I use for ubuntu to make gameplay videos?
[04:55] <fredsua> :-) thank you
[04:55] <EnvoyRising> Leechzilla: ah. then, i've lever really investigated much further, being i don't often use headphones
[04:55] <selig5> fredsua: get vlc media player, it can play dvds
[04:56] <ph0rensic> nickrud, he has the latest libdvd and all that?
[04:56] <EnvoyRising> i'm sure theres a way to automate this
[04:56] <NigelS> Overlord_David: have you checked the info at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[04:56] <fredsua> nickrud, I'll try going there now
[04:56] <N6REJ> Overlord_David: your asking if this new engine your designing will work in your chevy!  IDK, nobody does, it depends on the card... check the compatiblity list b4 u buy
[04:56] <nickrud> ph0rensic: yes, it's not even seeing his dvd's. None of them are. Errors opening them
[04:56] <jrod> does anyone know how to backup a ubuntu install programs settings included?
[04:56] <Leechzilla> EnvoyRising: Most importantly, it's SPDIF that I really need to get to work
[04:56] <N6REJ> jrod: are they encoded in ur region?
[04:56] <Overlord_David> I don't really understand that kinda stuff.
[04:57] <Kalamansi> N6REJ: I don't see "adobe" and "FF" words there. I tried to find them
[04:57] <Leechzilla> !flash
[04:57] <Devourer> How do I adjust my sound levels?
[04:57] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[04:57] <EnvoyRising> Leechzilla: well, while not spdif, it appears that just leaving it on headphones lets me autoswitch

[04:57] <EnvoyRising> that is, headphones recognizes when i have it plugged in or not, while all other options seem to ignore head pohones
[04:57] <N6REJ> !firefox
[04:57] <ubotu> firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins
[04:57] <nickrud> EnvoyRising: I see you're discovering the joys of ircing in #ubuntu already
[04:57] <emma> I often switch between songs but clicking the icons for the songs themselves. Could it be that when I don't let one song finish, and click on another one to start a different one, etc, that this is accumating some how?
[04:57] <Leechzilla> EnvoyRising: Doesn't work for me :[
[04:58] <emma> I always assumed that when I cant hear the song playing then it's not open any more.
[04:58] <EnvoyRising> Leechzilla: well, i hate to do this, but if no one else can give you a hand, the forums are really good
[04:58] <dogpigeoncow> its not
[04:58] <dogpigeoncow> its not at all
[04:58] <Kalamansi> !adobe
[04:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about adobe - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:58] <EnvoyRising> Leechzilla: though, searching them kind of sucks.. google is better ala site:ubuntuforums.org <search term>

[04:59] <dogpigeoncow> envorising: i needed to install something else to run it called GMP
[04:59] <EnvoyRising> dogpigeoncow: gmp? justa sec
[04:59] <Overlord_David> What's a chevy anyway?
[04:59] <dogpigeoncow> so now im installing GMP and after ./configure i do 'make' and nothing happens
[04:59] <dogpigeoncow> it doesnt know wat i mean
[05:00]  * N6REJ *smashs head on keyboard*
[05:00] <jrod> do u have gcc installed?
[05:00] <EnvoyRising> dogpigeoncow: you have to install the gmp dev package
[05:00] <prince_jammys> emma in nautilus::: Edit> Preferences> Preview> "Preview sound files:" - Never
[05:00] <EnvoyRising> dogpigeoncow: specifically libgmp3-dev
[05:00] <dogpigeoncow> how?
[05:00] <Overlord_David> Also I don't even know what a wifi dongle would qualify as on that wiki page.
[05:01] <EnvoyRising> like you do with all the other packages silly via synaptic OR  sudo apt-get install libgmp3-dev
[05:01] <EnvoyRising> or sudo aptitude lib-gmp3-dev
[05:01] <qed> i have a 2 partition drive on my laptop from work               -- the 2nd partition is like 60 gigs, does an
[05:01] <qed>               ubuntu live CD repartition so I wont lose data on               that second partition?  I want to repartition and
[05:01] <qed>               put a 20gig Ubuntu install on the 2nd partition
[05:01] <thechitowncubs> Is there any way to revert to my entire filesystem back to how it was when I installed it?
[05:01] <qed> whoa sorry for how broken that is
[05:02] <EnvoyRising> qed:  the livecd lets you select which partition to instal onto and how much of that partition to dedicate to ubuntu
[05:02] <Exershio> hey, I'm having such a hard time right now. I did a fresh install of gutsy, tried doing a binary install of 8.02 radeon drivers, then reverted back and tried using the restricted driver manager to use the proprietary drivers that are in the repository, but it keeps using Mesa! I don't know why it doesn't get the fact I want fglrx
[05:02] <dogpigeoncow> envoyrising: are those commands the same?
[05:02] <N6REJ> Overlord_David: if you use a well known wifi card you probably will be fine.  You can always check with the manufacturer to see if they have linux drivers
[05:02] <tickbee> Anyone have any ideas why one of my hard drives formatted in ext3, would suddenly lose it's partition?  I see the disk as /dev/hdd but there is no /dev/hdd1 anymore.  This drive was part of a software raid 5 using mdadm, somehow ubuntu lost the partition after restarting.  When I do fdisk -l, i can see the /dev/hdd1 though???
[05:02] <N6REJ> stay away from belkin
[05:02] <Overlord_David> It isn't a wifi card
[05:02] <Overlord_David> it's a dongle you plug into the USB port.
[05:03] <dogpigeoncow> now i need sudo GUile 1.8
[05:03] <EnvoyRising> dogpigeoncow: essentially. aptitude just remembers dependencies better so that when you uninstall packages you don't have a whole bunch of extra packages left over. supposedly apt-get does this nowadays, but i'm not sure how well
[05:03] <N6REJ> Overlord_David: dude it is a card!! what do you think is in that dongle??
[05:03] <Overlord_David> It's designed specificly for things like a PSP or Nintendo DS.
[05:03] <EnvoyRising> apt-get is the defacto though, so i'd go with that one since you're more familiar with it
[05:03] <Overlord_David> Heck if I know. hah
[05:03] <N6REJ> Overlord_David: kk, so you want to use a psp dev on a pc?
[05:03] <dogpigeoncow> *** Liquid War 6 needs Guile 1.8 (
[05:03] <dogpigeoncow> now?
[05:03] <Overlord_David> yeah so I can use X-link Kai
[05:04] <Overlord_David> but I also use Vonage
[05:04] <simps> Does anyone know how to add to the clipboard or see the clipboard via terminal commands?
[05:04] <N6REJ> Overlord_David: why not jsut use a reg wifi card?
[05:04] <KiD_ChAoS> how can i update my repositories? For instance i want to download and install KDE 4 but if i go to add/remove programs i only see older versions
[05:04] <N6REJ> trying to save $$?
[05:04] <EnvoyRising> install that dev package s well dogpigeoncow :(
[05:04] <Overlord_David> so instead of getting a second router with wireless
[05:04] <Overlord_David> because they don't seem to have phone jacks
[05:04] <Overlord_David> this seemed to be the cost effective way.
[05:04] <dogpigeoncow> yes i know but wat is the command for that? isnt it also some fancy name with nubmers?
[05:04] <Overlord_David> as it was 10 bucks.
[05:05] <dogpigeoncow> where do i find the name to use in code
[05:05] <Magishen> hey guys how do i see what scripts load when ubuntu starts
[05:05] <N6REJ> wth??? wait a minute what are you talking about lol now you've got me totally lost.....
[05:05] <EnvoyRising> you have access to your synaptic yet?
[05:05] <N6REJ> you've already bought the device?
[05:05] <EnvoyRising> !apt
[05:05] <ubotu> APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[05:05] <qed> so just to clarify, as i understand it, ubuntu comes with partition tools to repartition an existing partition with data on it to prevent data loss, and still install ubuntu assuming enough free space exists?
[05:05] <qed> is this correct?
[05:05] <emma> prince_jammys,  oooooh.. That makes a lot of sense. That could really be it!
[05:05] <emma> prince_jammys,  how do you know all of these things??
[05:05] <prince_jammys> emma i am a google master :)
[05:06] <exst_mhua> Is there a good tutorial or article about remote desktop (for accessing & to access) for Ubuntu?
[05:06] <prince_jammys> emma   googled ubuntu flac too many open files
[05:06] <Magishen> how do i see what starts up when ubuntu starts
[05:06] <EnvoyRising> prince_jammys: lmao i suppose i always assume people have already tried google before coming here
[05:06] <emma> prince_jammys,  i really did look around on google for this one, but you must have really looked in the right place.
[05:06] <Overlord_David> It basicly plugs into my hard wired PC and sends a wireless signal from that.  If vonage sold wireless routers with phone jacks this wouldn't have came up. As my computer can also receive wireless signal.
[05:06] <prince_jammys> emma i know, the flac is what did it
[05:07] <exst_mhua> Magishen, under System > Admin > services
[05:07] <prince_jammys> emma you have been unlucky
[05:07] <EnvoyRising> flac is a sound codec, right?
[05:07] <prince_jammys> emma finding all the bugs
[05:07] <emma> prince_jammys,  i was googling:  nautilus ubuntu crash  and then for a while:  nautilus ubuntu external hard drive.
[05:07] <mcalautt> hello
[05:07] <EnvoyRising> hi mcalautt what you need?
[05:07] <qed> so just to clarify, as i understand it, ubuntu comes with partition tools to repartition an existing partition with data on it to prevent data loss, and still install ubuntu assuming enough free space exists?
[05:07] <mcalautt> was installing server edition
[05:07] <emma> prince_jammys,  yeah from my perspective Feisty was so much better :) But I have to believe people when everyone is saying Gutsy is better.
[05:07] <prince_jammys> emma i know, it was the flac that brought up the post
[05:08] <EnvoyRising> emma: with google, too vague of searches gets you no where. usually, if you type in the exact error, you'll find an answer pretty quick
[05:08] <prince_jammys> emma you have been exceptionally unlucky
[05:08] <mcalautt> skipped over my network card .. said it wasnt detected.
[05:08] <emma> I always kind of thought I was exceptionally unlucky..
[05:08] <Magishen> Does anyone know when I start ubuntu why it freezes within like 15 seconds.. is there anyway i can stop this?
[05:08] <prince_jammys> emma  lol
[05:08] <EnvoyRising> emma: in fact, i usually just cut and paste from the command line the error i get and get brought to the exact post
[05:09] <emma> *nods* you guys really have a knack of this.
[05:09] <tickbee> Anyone have any ideas why one of my hard drives formatted in ext3, would suddenly lose it's partition?  I see the disk as /dev/hdd but there is no /dev/hdd1 anymore.  This drive was part of a software raid 5 using mdadm, somehow ubuntu lost the partition after restarting.  When I do fdisk -l, i can see the /dev/hdd1 though???
[05:09] <fredsua> need help getting my movie DVDs to work
[05:09] <KiD_ChAoS> whats the easiest way of installing the KDE desktop enviorment
[05:09] <exst_mhua> Magishen, heres a good read where to look for apps & services that run during startup http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Speed-up_Ubuntu
[05:09] <EnvoyRising> KiD_ChAoS: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[05:09] <samuel> sup guys
[05:10] <martin_> Someoen just helped me with this the other day, do'h. How do I add a user to a group? I'm trying to run VirtualBox but the user needs root privledges
[05:10] <KiD_ChAoS> EnvoyRising, will that install all the components to? like my wifi manager and all that
[05:10] <mcalautt> was installing server edition and it skipped over my network card .. said it wasnt detected... its a known card..  3com 3c509.  do I need a driver disk or something ?
[05:10] <EnvoyRising> KiD_ChAoS: yeah, just install and log out, then click kde from sessions
[05:11] <Leechzilla> Though my sound works, there is no output from the headphone jack and SPDIF port. Do I need to compile ALSA from source or is there another alternative to get the latest version?
[05:11] <mcalautt> u can use usermod to add a user to a groujp
[05:11] <KiD_ChAoS> EnvoyRising, ok
[05:11] <mcalautt> usermod -G <group> <username>
[05:11] <KiD_ChAoS> thank you EnvoyRising
[05:12] <Magishen> Alright thanks a lot exst_mhua im gonna restart and see if this works..
[05:12] <exst_mhua> Magishen, np
[05:14] <EnvoyRising> KiD_ChAoS: np
[05:15] <EnvoyRising> finally settled down in here, lol
[05:15] <erudified> Hey all, is Hardy stable enough to use yet?
[05:16] <Ububegin> hei guys any recommendations for a great theme like Ubuntu-satanic edition like that
[05:16] <erudified> Last I tried it, I believe XGL was broken (some gtk sudo permissions error?)
[05:16] <tickbee> If only there was a hard drive/fs guru :(
[05:16] <erudified> Ububegin, I love the Murrine engine and MurrineLoveGray
[05:16] <emma> This is really the page that seems to have people with a similar problem as me -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=592626&page=3
[05:16] <emma> so that's good that Ubuntu is aware of this.
[05:16] <Owner> what kind of shell is goin to use on remote machine we we use "rsh"?
[05:16] <prince_jammys> emma some general google tips: start with the word "ubuntu" -- paste a chunk of the literal error message (try both within quotes and without) -- if a long error message doesnt work, just a piece that you think is descriptive -- and if that doesnt work, a keyword of what you're doing when the error happens (ie. mounting, playing music) ...
[05:16] <prince_jammys> emma yes, thats the page
[05:16] <EnvoyRising> tickbee: yeah, sorry man. you lost me at raid :(
[05:17] <Ububegin> erudified: engine.... i am just looking for a visual theme...
[05:17] <prince_jammys> emma but it only turned up early with the keyword "flac" included
[05:17] <tickbee> EnvoyRising: ya, the problem is i don't know if it's the raid that screwed it up, or ubuntu
[05:17] <erudified> Yes, GTK has theme engines
[05:17] <erudified> Murrine uses Cairo for drawing, so it's fast if you have compositing
[05:17] <erudified> and it looks great, especially with G-Flat SVG icons ;
[05:17] <EnvoyRising> tickbee: you could always try running a livecd and see if its recognized. that would at least let you know that its a config problem and not hardware failure
[05:18] <Ububegin> erudfied: hmm, maybe worth a look... tks
[05:18] <carpediem> Ububegin: what theme are you looking for?
[05:18] <prince_jammys> emma anyway it doesnt seem that the sound preview thing is fully reliable , but maybe it works
[05:18] <Owner> how can I get shell name - get name of the shell (bash - csh ,etc) thatm I'm using now ?
[05:18] <erudified> What version of the FGLRX driver is currently in Hardy?
[05:18] <prince_jammys> emma that definitely qualifies as a bug
[05:18] <Ububegin> something like satanic edition... where they change everything like sound, artwork and so forth...
[05:18] <macogw> Owner: "ps" will show it
[05:19] <erudified> Last time I tried it, XGL was broken and AIGLX was slow as hell
[05:19] <macogw> Owner: without any arguments it just shows whats running in that shell
[05:19] <tickbee> EnvoyRising: it's worth trying, though I'd still be effectively stuck, I have a feeling it's not hardware failure, everything looks fine in fdisk -l, and mdadm is finicky enough that it most likely then not, is part of the problem
[05:19] <prince_jammys> emma notice that the bonobo thing appears in the same thread
[05:19] <Owner> oh yeah
[05:19] <Ububegin> carpediem: something like satanic edition... where they change everything like sound, artwork and so forth...
[05:19] <EnvoyRising> tickbee:  i know you say mounting fails but have you tried a forced mount?
[05:19] <carpediem> Ububegin: no such thing, as far as I know.  I could be wrong, but most of the time themes are specific to one part of the overall system
[05:20] <erudified> carpediem, check out gnome-look.org - like I said, I use the Murrine engine, MurrineLoveGray, and the G-Flat SVG Icon themes, with Kiba dock
[05:20] <Ububegin> carpediem: Oh, so Ubuntu Satanic is currently the only one... :O
[05:20] <EnvoyRising> prince_jammys: geez, i thought they were deprecating bonobo anyways :-\
[05:20] <erudified> if your card supports compositing, it's silly nasty omg fast ;)
[05:20] <prince_jammys> EnvoyRising: i dont know what it is
[05:20] <tickbee> EnvoyRising: even forcing it still gives it an error that it can't find it
[05:20] <erudified> Firefox 3.0b3 is recommended too, it integrates really really nicely with your gnome icon theme
[05:20] <own1x> Heya, I was wondering if anyone in here has gotten q3.nrg to mount successfully ?
[05:20] <carpediem> erudified: he said something that includes new sounds.  I've tried every single theme on gnome-look, and as I said, no such thing I know of
[05:21] <Liono_> pam is the pluggable authentication modules framework used by some unix(-ish) systems. it logs unsuccessful screen unlock events but not succesful ones in auth.log. i need succesful ones too. can i replace this pam with the one that does logs? or any other solutions --   ?
[05:21] <tickbee> EnvoyRising: it's all really weird, if the partition didn't show up in fdisk -l, i would think something with the hardware is up, but since it shows up fine, and everything looks right, i just don't see what differentiates it from any of my other hard drives which have no problem showing up
[05:21] <erudified> carpediem, I guess you didn't click the "SYSTEM SOUNDS" button eh? ;)
[05:22] <Magishen> Oi I restarted and I noticed the file where I can go to my windows documents is gone and ubuntu keeps freezing :l
[05:22] <Owner> in which file can I set environment variables for all user for sh shell ?
[05:22] <EnvoyRising> tickbee: damn, i'm stumped. **flashes the hd guru man signal and waits for help**
[05:24] <tickbee> EnvoyRising: lol, well thanks for the suggestions anyways, i hate problems like this, i don't even know what to google for, it's such an obscure problem, looking for "detect disk but not partition" and things like it gives me nothing useful
[05:24] <tickbee> irc was my last bastion of hope
[05:24] <jay-oh-en> wheres java located
[05:24] <jay-oh-en> sun java
[05:24] <erudified> which java
[05:25] <EnvoyRising> jay-oh-en: or if which shows nothing "locate java"
[05:25] <samuel> is it possible to share a unionfs directory via nfs kernel server?
[05:25] <simps> Does anyone know how to add to the clipboard or see the clipboard via terminal commands?
[05:25] <EnvoyRising> tickbee: i hear ya. i just hate when people come here and CAN'T find help. back of my head i'm thinkin "darn, and thats one of the few things we have over microsoft"
[05:26] <prince_jammys> tickbee: you have a device that you can see with fdisk -l but you cant mount it?
[05:26] <Magishen> Does anyone have any ideas why Ubuntu keeps freezing on me? It keeps freezing, the only thing I can move is the mouse..anyone?
[05:26] <Magishen> simps: right click
[05:26] <erudified> few things? hahah, I guess you haven't tried vista ;)
[05:26] <tickbee> prince_jammys: yes, it shows up fine in fdisk -l, /dev/hdd and /dev/hdd1, but when i look in /dev, i only see /dev/hdd
[05:27] <pjm491> Anyone know how to get a Nvidia 8800 Card working in Ubuntu?  I am new to Ubuntu....but it appears that the system is not detecting my card....I found instructions on Google that did not seem to help me...I am using Ubuntu 7.10 and AMD64 bit edition......
[05:27] <EnvoyRising> erudified: i was assuming that vista wasn't in the consideration as a representation of windows, as much as kde4 isn't a representation of kde or linux :P
[05:27] <tickbee> prince_jammys: fdisk -l see's all my disks fine, no problems whatsoever, but trying to mount or do anything with /dev/hdd1, all i get is device not found errors
[05:27] <EnvoyRising> fyi vista came preinstalled on this laptop
[05:27] <simps> Magishen, but i want it so that i can type a command and it'll show the clipboard
[05:27] <emma> prince_jammys,  yep I think it's a bug. I posted a message to the last person there, because they still think they have to logout completely to fix it.  I found  you can open a terminal and type killall nautilus and that fixes it as long as restarting does, but without having to interupt any apps.
[05:27] <thechitowncubs> Can someone tell me if I just completely borked my install, i just uninstalled ldap on my server while i was logged in as a client
[05:27] <thechitowncubs> and i have no other users on my install besides root
[05:28] <thechitowncubs> but I can't login as root
[05:28] <prince_jammys> emma hope it works ... it made sense because i remember you mentioning that you had a lot of music on one drive
[05:28] <Leechzilla> !alsa
[05:28] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[05:28] <erudified> EnvoyRising, Same thing applies to XP - no real shell, circa 1995 UI, weakest file manager on any platform, etc
[05:28] <Les_Caesars> is there a way I can keep track of what a program does in the terminal? I'm trying to figure out what makes the "EJECT" emblem come up when I hit the eject key. I want to make the same emblem come up in a bash script I'm making
[05:28] <EnvoyRising> erudified: true. lmao.. imagine my surprise trying to grep on cmd
[05:28] <emma> Well a goodly amount. 1.7 Gigs in one directory.
[05:28] <erudified> The only thing any version of windows has going for it is Office and the Adobe suite
[05:29] <EnvoyRising> erudified: but they have crysis :P
[05:29] <erudified> Yeah, games, but I think most people have a console nowadays
[05:29] <thechitowncubs> Anyone have any idea if i can get back into my system
[05:29] <pjm491> Anyone know how to get a Nvidia 8800 Card working in Ubuntu?  I am new to Ubuntu....but it appears that the system is not detecting my card....I found instructions on Google that did not seem to help me...I am using Ubuntu 7.10 and AMD64 bit edition......
[05:29] <AtomicSpark> erudified: second
[05:29] <erudified> Except FPS/RTS folks I suppose
[05:29] <prince_jammys> tickbee: have you tried mounting it thru fstab?
[05:29] <EnvoyRising> erudified: let us also keep in mind i was speaking specifically on a community/customer service point of view
[05:30] <EnvoyRising> speaking of file manager >when will gnome fix the horrible file chooser dialog
[05:30] <EnvoyRising> ?
[05:30] <tickbee> prince_jammys: yes, that's how I was normally mounting it, then one time when i restarted, it didn't mount, and hasn't mounted ever since
[05:30] <erudified> hehehe, I like the type-ahead find in the gnome file dialog
[05:30] <emma> prince_jammys,  something else I read there sounded like maybe Nautilus starts the preview on mouseover, which would make sense since I putz around with the mouse while I'm sitting here listening, my mouse really goes everywhere.
[05:30] <thechitowncubs> help please
[05:31] <thechitowncubs> can i login as root somehow?
[05:31] <EnvoyRising> as for the person asking about the 8800, download the nvidia proprietary drivers and restart
[05:31] <prince_jammys> emma yeah
[05:31] <thechitowncubs> !root
[05:31] <ubotu> Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[05:31] <erudified> emma, check out the nautilus scripts on gnome-look, maybe you can find a replacement?
[05:31] <erudified> and what the hell are audio previews, any way?
[05:31] <prince_jammys> tickbee how is it identified in fstab?  as /dev/blah   or UUID?
[05:31] <dehspehl> EnvoyRising: I believe it's in GTK so you would have to change that manually.
[05:31] <erudified> I think it's a gnome/nautilus thing, not a gtk thing (could be wrong though)
[05:32] <pjm491> anyone using a Nvidia 8800 GTS card with Ubuntu?  How did you get it to work properly???
[05:32] <dehspehl> EnvoyRising: I take it you are talking about the GTKFileChooser or whatever
[05:32] <EnvoyRising> dehspehl: ha, like the dev team would even accept that as a patch... "but it's too complicated for users" they'd say
[05:32] <KLin> Can anyone tell me why Gimp 2.2 hangs at the search for plug-ins in version 6.06 (Dapper)?
[05:32] <EnvoyRising> dehspehl: yes i am
[05:32] <erudified> EnvoyRising, what's wrong with it?
[05:32] <erudified> I don't really like the left pane myself
[05:32] <Leechzilla> How can I update my alsa to the latest version without compiling it from source? I can get it from hardy repositories or something?
[05:32] <Jigs> hello there, how to change the dual boot menu? i wanna make my xp the as the primary and make my ubuntu as my secondary.. and how to change the time delay?
[05:33] <tickbee> prince_jammys: Ok, backstory, it's not mounted directly, it's mounted as part of a /dev/md0 device that uses /dev/hdd1, /dev/hde1, /hdev/hdg1, and that uses /dev/md0 uses a UUID loaded from a mdadm.conf
[05:33] <erudified> I do prefer it to the windows file dialog simply because of the type-ahead find, but in the file path text box, if you put in a directory and hit enter the dialog doesn't switch to that dir, and that is The Suck
[05:33] <prince_jammys> tickbee: ah
[05:33] <EnvoyRising> erudified: the pane, the lack of a tree view
[05:34] <tickbee> prince_jammys: all three of those, hdd1, hde1, hdg1 show up fine in fdisk -l, hde1 and hdg1 show up in the /dev folder, but hdd1 does not
[05:34] <erudified> EnvoyRising, It may actually be gconf-editable, worth looking into
[05:34] <EnvoyRising> just seems lacking in features compared to kde's
[05:34] <dehspehl> EnvoyRising: that's why you have to replace it manually. keeping forks and patches are common in open source, but at least they are possible
[05:34] <AtomicSpark> here is a question i've been wondering, when installing new software and it comes with dependencies, when uninstalling said software, it doesn't remove the dependencies that it installed. is there any way to get rid of anything safely?
[05:34] <tickbee> prince_jammys: so when it goes to mount /dev/md0 at startup, it can't find /dev/hdd1, it only sees the other 2
[05:34] <AtomicSpark> *everything not anything
[05:35] <erudified> I used to be a KDE user, but they've kinda jumped the shark with KDE4... I go for more of a minimalist desktop, not lacking in eye candy (I love the cube/scale compiz effects, and they're silly fast) but there's minimal screen real estate wasted
[05:35] <EnvoyRising> dehspehl: i should count my blessings that at least i can change things manually instead of having to wait 3 years for a release that botches it up futher, huh? (**cough, vista** cough)
[05:35] <erudified> the new KDE dock/menu just eat wayyy to much screen for my taste
[05:35] <tickbee> prince_jammys: i'm pretty confident "wiping" out the hard drives would fix it so they detect again, but after i setup the raid again, i will most likely be back to square 1
[05:35] <erudified> I'm sure it'll get much better though
[05:35] <erudified> I like how compositing is more integral to the desktop
[05:35] <dehspehl> erudified: no, it won't
[05:35] <EnvoyRising> erudified: i like e17 myself. i cant wait until that gets into a usable state
[05:36] <erudified> Yeah, E17 is philosophically where I want to be
[05:36] <AtomicSpark> erudified: i could never use KVM because everything is way too big for me. :P
[05:36] <dehspehl> erudified: but someone will make a replacement or we can keep around legacy apps (legacy apps that just so happen to be half of the DE)
[05:36] <prince_jammys> tickbee: i see. i'm not familiar with that mounting setup.
[05:36] <dehspehl> EnvoyRising: personally I don't care much for file chooser
[05:36] <tickbee> prince_jammys: not sure if your familiar with mdadm, but it seems to me, that's there's nothing i can do using mdadm to reassemble it until it can actually SEE the /dev/hdd1 partition, and not being able to see that partition in /dev makes me think something outside of mdadm is affecting it
[05:36] <erudified> The KDE guys aren't dumb, they're getting the APIs right
[05:37] <tickbee> prince_jammys: :( well, thanks for trying at least
[05:37] <ganesh> how to get calender settings in thunderbird
[05:37] <erudified> when it's all ironed out they'll start to really pull ahead of GNOME again I think, then GNOME will put out 3.0 ;)
[05:37] <macogw> EnvoyRising: its plenty usable
[05:37] <AtomicSpark> erudified: what's wrong with gnome?
[05:37] <prince_jammys> tickbee: yeah i'm sorry.  i'll probably end up learning about that setup by watching what happens with you :)
[05:37] <erudified> It's not quite configurable enough for my taste
[05:38] <dehspehl> is it just me or are DEs going back to the idea of "lots of space to put xterms in"
[05:38] <erudified> I don't really like gnome-terminal very much either, or rhythmbox
[05:38] <EnvoyRising> macogw: not on its own. the file manager is beyond unstable
[05:38] <EnvoyRising> not to mention way too simplistic
[05:38] <AtomicSpark> erudified: didn't know gnome and kde had different terms
[05:38] <erudified> EnvoyRising, You might like http://rox.sf.net/
[05:38] <prince_jammys> uh oh desktop war
[05:38] <tickbee> prince_jammys: lol, everything was working beautifully, until *poof* one time i restarted, and now i have this odd error of a "ghost" partition that's there but not there
[05:38] <erudified> Yeah, I much prefer konsole and juk
[05:39] <EnvoyRising> prince_jammys: hardly. i certaintly don't mean it to be anyways
[05:39] <dehspehl> prince_jammys: it's worse than that
[05:39] <erudified> Nah, I mean, I don't really use KDE or GNOME
[05:39] <erudified> I use gnome-session
[05:39] <prince_jammys> lol
[05:39] <t0ny-p40> How do I find out what version of ubuntu I'm using?
[05:39] <prince_jammys> go kde
[05:39] <EnvoyRising> prince_jammys: i'm not saying "gnome sucks" or "kde sucks"
[05:39] <dehspehl> t0ny-p40: cat /etc/issue
[05:39] <erudified> Nautilus is way too slow for me... I use Rox to manage the root window and Kiba-dock for a task manager/start menu
[05:39] <dehspehl> t0ny-p40: i think...
[05:39] <t0ny-p40> thanks dehspehl
[05:39] <macogw> EnvoyRising: oh. i dont use file managers.
[05:39] <prince_jammys> EnvoyRising: i know, just kidding
[05:40] <erudified> I probably use compiz window grouping more than anyone alive lol
[05:40] <prince_jammys> macogw: console only?
[05:40] <EnvoyRising> macogw: hard core command line person yeah?
[05:40] <AtomicSpark> lol console only desktop
[05:40] <macogw> EnvoyRising: yes
[05:40] <AtomicSpark> funny
[05:40] <macogw> prince_jammys: ^
[05:40] <prince_jammys> i use them les and less myself
[05:41] <AtomicSpark> erudified: nautilus slow? are you kidding me? do you remember xp/vista?
[05:41] <erudified> AtomicSpark, try using Rox for a few minutes
[05:41] <erudified> Nautilus is dead slow ;) it blocks when generating previews, etc
[05:42] <mithro> where can I find information about creating diverts in debs?
[05:42] <EnvoyRising> macogw: maybe some day i'll be as good as you then, but i'm spoiled :| at least with file operations
[05:42] <CrazyPhil_> Hi. Do they exist a program to view powerpoint .pss and .ppt that don't require wine? (I only know PPTView and he require it..)
[05:43] <EnvoyRising> i did go through a "command line only web browsing is the sh**" phase for about a week thioguh, lol
[05:43] <AtomicSpark> CrazyPhil_: open office should beable to open them. :\ not sure.
[05:43] <EnvoyRising> CrazyPhil_: open offic or koffice
[05:43] <EnvoyRising> AtomicSpark: your'e right
[05:43] <dehspehl> erudified: i haven't found a single non trivial app that doesn't block on images and etc
[05:43] <mithro> a google for things like "apt divert" and "dpkg divert" didn't turn up much useful
[05:44] <AtomicSpark> erudified: so explain this blocking of previews?
[05:44] <erudified> dehspehl, ones that spawn separate threads and load the previews lazily allow you to do whatever you want while previews are getting generated
[05:44] <CrazyPhil_> Open office open them in "editing" mode.. :\ I am looking for a slide show mode.. maybe an open office option?
[05:44] <amenado> CrazyPhil_-> you can put the openoffice into slide mode after
[05:44] <erudified> Nautilus just freezes while it loads however many image previews are in the dir
[05:44] <Jigs> is it ok to used firestarter as my firewall?
[05:44] <dehspehl> erudified: well perhaps my box just sucks at multithreaded and it's really the time to fork
[05:45] <CrazyPhil_> amenado, ok! ty :)
[05:45] <dehspehl> erudified: err, the time it takes to fork is what I'm noticing
[05:45] <n2diy> How can I restart/reset a comm port? Every couple of weeks my external modem appears to be busy to Ubuntu. Even when I disconnect  the modem, kppp tells me it is busy, so it seems to be a software issue?
[05:45] <buffdaemon> hello shashi sir
[05:45] <AtomicSpark> erudified: huh. havent seen this problem. :P maybe i'm not stressing it enough.
[05:45] <erudified> dehspehl, it doesn't matter how long it takes to init the thread or fork or whatever
[05:45] <magick> I'm having trouble booting. Specifically, it takes 10 minutes to boot. I tried bootchart, but its before bootcharg loads as bootchart shows only 23s or so. "Starting up..." appears for 10 minutes before it actually boots. If I disable ACPI, it boots up quickly.
[05:45] <chrisb_> does anyone know how i can speed up a build  other than make -jn
[05:45] <chrisb_> ?
[05:45] <ac1d> help! i need to install 'Dynamips' but... i can only find a .bin and a source file... so how do i compile things from source?
[05:45] <erudified> AtomicSpark, download 3000+ images, stick them in a directory, browse to it, change a few, upload it, etc, it becomes obvious quickly
[05:46] <erudified> manage images with subversion and update, half the directory changes, etc
[05:46] <AtomicSpark> hmm. makes sense.
[05:46] <erudified> it does the same thing with text file previews, it's less noticable though
[05:46] <ac1d> compiling source code in Ubuntu how do i do it?
[05:46] <prince_jammys> +compile | ac1d
[05:47] <Ububegin> where is this located... System->Preferences->Appearance ... is this gutsy..but i have fiesty.. so where can i find it
[05:47] <erudified> and, uh, i feel like text file previews are pretty retarded anyways so I just turn them off =(
[05:47] <prince_jammys> !compile | ac1d
[05:47] <ubotu> ac1d: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)
[05:47] <n2diy> acld, download the file, and read the README docs.
[05:48] <prince_jammys> Ububegin: what are you trying to change?
[05:48] <plong0> clear
[05:48] <plong0> hello friends
[05:48] <chrisb_> @AtomicSpark   sorry to call you out, but do you know how to speed up a build process?
[05:48] <plong0> oh wait, I am not in the terminal any more
[05:48] <Ububegin> prince_jammys: Gnome-themes
[05:49] <prince_jammys> Ububegin: Pref->Themes
[05:49] <plong0> I am having a problem with my boot after performing a dist-upgrade
[05:49] <AtomicSpark> chrisb_: build process of what?
[05:49] <prince_jammys> Ububegin: is it there?
[05:49] <EnvoyRising> chrisb_: speed up the build process: play a round of urban terror or some other addictive thing
[05:49] <liran> hey im trying to compile apache 2.2.*
[05:50] <Ububegin> prince_jammys: but i cant seem to ubuntu satanic there... i just followed the tutorial and installed it... :|
[05:50] <liran> and im getting this error while configuring
[05:50] <liran> /bin/bash: /root/httpd-2.2.8/srclib/pcre/configure: No such file or directory
[05:50] <liran> configure failed for srclib/pcre
[05:50] <liran> what i need to do  to fix this
[05:50] <prince_jammys> Ububegin: mm i don't know.  some downloaded themes dont seem to work
[05:50] <ac1d> ubotu: need some help compiling
[05:50] <EnvoyRising> liran, can you paste the exact command you use and the output to pastebin?
[05:50] <plong0> liran: do you have pcre in your /root/httpd-2.2.8/srclib directory?
[05:51] <P1ro> what is the default root passwod atfer the install of ubuntu ?
[05:51] <prince_jammys> Ububegin: that is the correct way to install them
[05:51] <towlie> has anyone here installed an encrypted ubuntu partition
[05:51] <ac1d> ubotu: i need help compiling this file here: http://www.ipflow.utc.fr/dynamips/dynamips-0.2.7.tar.gz
[05:51] <nickrud> !root | P1ro (there is none)
[05:51] <ubotu> P1ro (there is none): Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[05:51] <TurtleOfDoom> P1ro: :there is no root password
[05:51] <Ububegin> prince_jammys: :( ... so much for that $hit...
[05:51] <chrisb_> @EnvoyRising   haha...  I like it!
[05:51] <plong0> towlie, don't forget to bring a toweeeel
[05:51] <liran> plong0: yes there is a dir called pcre in srclib
[05:51] <ac1d> need help compiling this file here: http://www.ipflow.utc.fr/dynamips/dynamips-0.2.7.tar.gz
[05:51] <ac1d> please help
[05:51] <towlie> lol
[05:51] <AtomicSpark> is he talking to ubotu? lols
[05:51] <plong0> liran, it has the configure file in it?
[05:51] <prince_jammys> Ububegin: :) sorry
[05:51] <towlie> i set up ubuntu with an encrypted partition but i forgot the encryption password...
[05:52] <plong0> towlie, happens to me all the time lol
[05:52] <AtomicSpark> towlie: you're sol sorry. :)
[05:52] <liran> plong0: nop
[05:52] <plong0> liran, that is your problem then
[05:52] <towlie> sol because its encrypted ?
[05:52] <prince_jammys> ac1d: did you read the link?
[05:52] <liran> plong0: why its empty then? i downloaded the source from apache website
[05:52] <plong0> liran, what is inside of that directory?
[05:52] <liran> plong0: nothing
[05:52] <TurtleOfDoom> towlie: without the password there is nothing you can do, that's the entire point of encryption
[05:52] <Ububegin> prince_jammys: yeah nway i followed this page.... http://happylinuxthoughts.blogspot.com/2007/10/ubuntu-satanic-edition.html.... hmm, wat went wrong... though the visuals look impressive...
[05:52] <fuffalo> how do i make a wine application go in full screen?  currently my top and bottom bar are overtop of it
[05:52] <towlie> ok
[05:53] <nickrud> liran: have you looked at the docs in the build directory?
[05:53] <ac1d> prince_jammys: yeap, i did, i dont understand im still to much of a linux newb
[05:54] <AtomicSpark> man this sucks. i can't get ubuntu to work in kvm now.
[05:54] <prince_jammys> ac1d what is that package you are trying to install?
[05:54] <plong0> liran, you could maybe try downloading the pcre modules from pcre.org (make sure you get the write version!) and extracting them to that directory
[05:54] <erudified> Vista could have been pretty awesome if they'd made WinFS as cool as it sounded and incorporated Interix (basically a Unix kernel running alongside NT)
[05:54] <chrisb_> @AtomicSpark   i'm building Ubuntu from source, and I know I can use make -jn, but I'm wondering if there's another way
[05:54] <erudified> And that Monad shell, that sounded kickass too
[05:54] <liran> plong0: thanks i will try
[05:54] <plong0> liran, if you don't need pcre, you could comment that line out.... or maybe read the docs, there is probably a command line option to disable it
[05:54] <erudified> Instead they left everything that was remotely interesting out of it and added ribbons to office
[05:55] <erudified> ./configure --help|grep pcre
[05:55]  * TurtleOfDoom actually likes the ribbons
[05:55] <prince_jammys> Ububegin: this theme - is it a login theme?
[05:55]  * AtomicSpark likes the ribbons too
[05:55] <erudified> hahaha
[05:55] <ac1d> prince_jammys: im trying to get Dynamips working
[05:55]  * AtomicSpark some of them... somtimes finding something is hard
[05:55] <nickrud> ac1d: basically sudo provides user access to things that normally require a root password, on a user or command basis, as configured. In ubuntu, the first user has rights to run everything, with his/her own password
[05:55] <ac1d> prince_jammys: I can conly find source tho
[05:55] <erudified> I didn't make any ribbon value judgements ;) I just feel the other stuff was a bit more... integral
[05:55] <Ububegin> prince_jammys: login, gnome, screensaver and etc... all together...
[05:56] <liran> how can i extract tar.gz to the same directory that im on ?
[05:56] <nickrud> liran: tar xf <file>
[05:56] <plong0> liran, it's always a good idea to read - and understand - the docs when installing...  or else find a tutorial on the web (probably loads for installing apache2)

[05:59] <TurtleOfDoom> liran: you could just move the file after you extract it
[05:59] <EnvoyRising> n2diy: no, was in ruby. i'll give it a shot, thanks!

[06:00] <towlie> who told me that u was sol
[06:00] <prince_jammys> ac1d why?
[06:00] <towlie> i
[06:00] <ac1d> prince_jammys: see if it works
[06:00] <nickrud> erudified: ah, that's really really old :)
[06:00] <prince_jammys> ac1d: try installing it now

[06:01] <ac1d> prince_jammys: i did the apt-get but now how do i get into it?
[06:01] <plong0> towlie, no, I was the one who reminded you to bring a towel

[06:01] <prince_jammys> ac1d: check to see if you have something new inside your menus
[06:01] <towlie> im back in ubuntu
[06:01] <own1x> thanks
[06:01] <n2diy> nickrud: uname -a
[06:01] <nickrud> erudified: not in hardy, no
[06:01] <samuel> anyone know why a unionfs directory cannot be exported with nfs??? whats the problem with this?
[06:02] <erudified> xgl wouldn't work at all (some gtk sudo error)
[06:02] <nickrud> n2diy: lol
[06:02] <prince_jammys> ac1d: probably in "internet"
[06:02] <EnvoyRising> jeez, it took me forever to remember GL was not just openGL but also good luck
[06:02] <ac1d> prince_jammys: nope
[06:02] <prince_jammys> does gnome use internet or networking in the menus?
[06:02] <prince_jammys> menu names
[06:02] <nickrud> erudified: but I did find that the aiglx in the fglrx from ati sucked
[06:03] <n2diy> nickrud: wrong nick, right answer, :)
[06:03] <prince_jammys> ac1d: mmm
[06:03] <ac1d> prince_jammys: when  i ran the apt-get it says 'dynamips is already the newest version.'
[06:03] <erudified> Yeah, very disappointing
[06:03] <prince_jammys> ac1d: ah you had it installed already
[06:03] <nickrud> n2diy: I read my post three times, looking for the error.
[06:03] <prince_jammys> try typing --> dynamips
[06:04] <n2diy> nickrud: things move fast here.
[06:04] <ac1d> prince_jammys: did that
[06:04] <prince_jammys> ac1d: did anything happen?
[06:04] <EnvoyRising> ok, so now i have a question, what would case me to get automatically logged out every few hours or so?
[06:04] <ac1d> prince_jammys: nup, but im trying a 'remove' then 'install' it again
[06:04] <prince_jammys> ac1d i dont think you need to
[06:05] <alanna> Whenever I attempt to start a song in amarok or kaffeine, it just freezes. I downloaded the newest version of ALSA, still nothin
[06:05] <starked> Would anyone here know how to get SDL working with Anjuta?
[06:05] <MagoonD> I am having problems mounting some usb flash drives in gutsy, specifically ones with fat or fat32 but other drives that are the same filesystem work can someone help me?
[06:05] <nickrud> ac1d: if you're removing for a reinstall, do a 'complete removal' in synaptic, or sudo apt-get remove --purge <package> (that gets configuration files as well)
[06:05] <prince_jammys> nickrud: do you know anything about that package?
[06:06] <nickrud> prince_jammys: enough to know it's about cisco :)
[06:06] <Jigs> hello there, how to change the dual boot menu? i wanna make my xp as the primary and make my ubuntu as my secondary.. and how to change the time delay?
[06:06] <exst_mhua> alanna, check if the song is not corrupted, or try other working songs to see if the player is not broken
[06:06] <prince_jammys> nickrud: he installed it, doesnt appear in the menus, wants to access it
[06:06] <ac1d> prince_jammys: still not working :(
[06:06] <achandrashekar> hello...i installed an ldap server on ubuntu...and after reboot...it locks up on boot and drops to a terminal login..can someone aid?
[06:06] <AtomicSpark> nickrud: know how to remove the dependencies if the program installed added them (not being used by another)?
[06:06] <ac1d> prince_jammys: no idea where it is
[06:06] <ogre> i am trying to compile ettercap because the repos have a stripped down version. i tried "make" but am getting this error make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.    I am in correct directory with makefile in there
[06:06] <nickrud> prince_jammys: any docs probably would be in /usr/share/doc/<packagename>
[06:07] <alanna> exst_mhua: nope, the songs are working and I tried other songs. Could it be because I don't have an mp3 decoder?
[06:07] <EnvoyRising> ogre, you have to ./configure first. besides that, you should make sure you're in the correct directory
[06:07] <nickrud> AtomicSpark: if they aren't used by anything else,  sudo apt-get autoremove should do it
[06:07] <exst_mhua> alanna, that's possible
[06:07] <n2diy> ogre: try ./make
[06:07] <ogre> EnvoyRising:  already did ./configure
[06:07] <prince_jammys> ac1d: yes, read what nickrud said::: also try typing dyn(and then the tab key to see if it autocompletes)
[06:07] <CarlFK> i installed u-server, then installed ubuntustudio-video, but I have no desktop   what is the quickest way to install a desktop, (gnome is fine, just don't want all the apps, like openoffice
[06:08] <ogre> n2diy:  no luck
[06:08] <AtomicSpark> nickrud: wow thanks. i just removed 100mb worth of crap lol
[06:08] <n2diy> CarlFK: use the Alternate CD
[06:08] <EnvoyRising> ogre: and no errors
[06:08] <erudified> CarlFK, installing gnome-panel ought to get most of the desktop
[06:09] <ac1d> prince_jammys: yeap dynamips is in there
[06:09] <Newbuntu2> how do I check if my system detects my harddrives? (ie, how do I look at my IDE bus)
[06:09] <erudified> CarlFK, gnome-panel, nautilus, and maybe apt-cache search gnome-session and get any session management packages
[06:09] <n2diy> ogre: try sudo ./make?
[06:09] <ac1d> prince_jammys: got a couple of changelog.debian.gz files and suc
[06:09] <prince_jammys> ac1d: what kind of files are they?
[06:09] <nickrud> CarlFK: sudo apt-get install xorg metacity gnome-panel (yeah, gnome-panel seems a good entrypoint for gnome)
[06:09] <ogre> EnvoyRising:  that must be it. for some reason its saying i need libpcap but I already have it
[06:09] <ac1d> prince_jammys: readme.debian
[06:09] <mkquist> Jigs: get ur answer yet?
[06:09] <ogre> n2diy: its saying no such file or dir
[06:09] <prince_jammys> ac1d: try ::: man dynamips (or whatever the exact name is)
[06:10] <ac1d> prince_jammys: okay
[06:10] <ac1d> i g2g but i shall try again after tafe
[06:10] <nickrud> ac1d: readme.debian is always a good start
[06:10] <ac1d> prince_jammys: thanks tho
[06:10] <exst_mhua> alanna, this might help w/ your problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=520036
[06:10] <ac1d> prince_jammys: i shall try
[06:10] <Jigs> not yet sir by am am reading now in the forum looking for answer
[06:10] <n2diy> ogre: did you install build-dev?
[06:11] <nickrud> ogre: try installing libpcap-dev
[06:11] <CarlFK> thnaks guys
[06:11] <erudified> build-essential ?
[06:11] <livefoniks> Judy Garland?
[06:11] <mkquist> Jigs: just edit your menu.lst in /boot/grub
[06:11] <EnvoyRising> ogre: you'll need the libpcap-dev package
[06:11] <Owner_> is there any command that return shell Name that we are currently work (just return the shell name nothing else)
[06:11] <mkquist> Jigs: and its better to direct you answer at the person u are talking to.
[06:11] <Jigs> ok ty
[06:12] <orph_> hi, my ubuntu install is completely hosed, and the install CD requires a reformat.  Is this the place to get help?
[06:12] <ogre> n2diy: ahh its libpcap-dev that im missing. im almost positive
[06:12] <nickrud> Owner_: what do you mean by the shell name? like bash?
[06:12] <Jigs> sorry dont have an idea... how to make it yellow :D
[06:12] <prince_jammys> ac1d check this::::  http://7200emu.hacki.at/viewtopic.php?p=18350&sid=1887977156ddb87a151ed819f6826d48
[06:12] <n2diy> ogre: GL
[06:12] <Owner_> nickrud yes
[06:12] <EnvoyRising> ruby-lang was scary
[06:12] <mkquist> Jigs: just start typing there nic and hit tab should autocomplete their name for u
[06:12] <nickrud> Owner:  env | grep SHELL
[06:12] <EnvoyRising> they're so...unfriendly
[06:12] <Jigs> mkquist: ok thats the secret thnx
[06:13] <EnvoyRising> i guess they all can't be ubuntu-like communities **sigh**
[06:13] <mkquist> Jigs: np... =)
[06:13] <nickrud> sounds like they're debian types
[06:13] <Owner_> ok thx
[06:13] <mkquist> orph_: this would be that place
[06:13] <plong0> what's wrong with debian, nickrud?
[06:13] <erudified> greycat is wrong with #debian lol
[06:13] <erudified> I've been flaming that guy since 96
[06:13] <nickrud> plong0: not debian, #debian. Should have been specific
[06:13] <Jigs> mkquist: sir another question... is grub had trouble with NTFS format in dual boot system?
[06:13] <plong0> ohh
[06:13] <plong0> lol
[06:14] <mkquist> uh oh... flame war?
[06:14] <plong0> I've never been
[06:14] <erudified> hahaha
[06:14] <erudified> nah he's a good guy
[06:14] <plong0> should I?
[06:14] <erudified> I just like to screw with him
[06:14] <Jigs> mkquist: got an error 18 last yesterday
[06:14] <Jigs> mkquist: yesterday i mean
[06:14] <plong0> Jigs, that means she was too young
[06:14] <mkquist> Jigs: im not sure what you mean 'is grub had trouble with NTFS format in dual boot system?'... not usually, linux will usually see the other install, but sometimes it does need help... is that what you mean?
[06:15] <achandrashekar> ldap install issue...part 2...after rebooting the master ldap server, the system hangs at the following "Starting kernel log daemon"
[06:15] <achandrashekar>  can someone help?
[06:15] <EnvoyRising> ooh ooh flame war! whats the topic this time?
[06:15] <mkquist> Jigs: if it booted before, then it should still boot.
[06:15] <mkquist> Jigs: has it booted windows before for you?
[06:15] <plong0> EnvoyRising, sex kittens who forget to wear mittens
[06:16] <Jigs> mkquist: yes, but after i installed xubuntu then restart then updated then start, problem came out... grub error 18
[06:16] <anrky> can i boot ubuntu off a cd?
[06:16] <orph_> mkquist: okay, so i don't want ot reformat and my dependencies are totally messed up.  glib seeems to have missing symbols, gconftool-2 fails, half the .debs are removed and the other half failed to install or remove
[06:16] <EnvoyRising> plong0: oh. i know nothing of the mitten-less kitten variety. i'll sit thisone out
[06:16] <plong0> anrky, yes
[06:16] <anrky> or does it have to be installed?
[06:16] <mkquist> plong0: lol, no help, but funny =p
[06:16] <nickrud> anrky: yes
[06:16] <n2diy> anrky: yes
[06:16] <mkquist> orph_: what did you do?
[06:16] <nickrud> anrky: releases.ubuntu.com/7.10 , get the desktop cd
[06:17] <orph_> mkquist: tried to update to gutsy from a system i've been updating since breezy
[06:17] <KiD_ChAoS> has anyone got Kontact to work with exchange? evolution can why Kontact?
[06:17] <anrky> ok, so i just download it, burn it on cd, and i can boot from it, without installing it or anything
[06:17] <MagoonD> I cannot mount a fat32 usb hard drive it says invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume does any1 know how to fix this?
[06:17] <plong0> anrky: yes
[06:17] <orph_> mkquist: it was a functioning feisty before the mess
[06:17] <anrky> cool...thanks!
[06:17] <nickrud> anrky: it will boot on most systems. Ones with really recent video cards might not run, or other recent hardware
[06:17] <plong0> anrky:  there will be a desktop icon to install it if you want to
[06:17] <KiD_ChAoS> has anyone got Kontact to work with exchange? evolution can why Kontact?
[06:18] <anrky> i rather just boot from d
[06:18] <n2diy> KiD_ChAoS: I don't use either of them, try korganizer?
[06:18] <anrky> cd*
[06:18] <mkquist> orph_: wow thats a load, I'd say at this point it would probably be quicker to just back up ur stuff and install gutsy.  I mean you could probably fix it, but it would probably take longer to sort it out.
[06:18] <nickrud> KiD_ChAoS: possibly because no one's written a plugin for kontact?
[06:18] <plong0> anrky: I made a usb thumbdrive boot ubuntu.  it was cool.
[06:18] <anrky> atleast till i'm really comfortable with it
[06:18] <anrky> a thumbdrive?
[06:18] <orph_> mkquist: there's no --ignore-depends-and-reinstall-the-world option to dpkg? :-)
[06:19] <anrky> do you need something special for that?
[06:19] <KiD_ChAoS> nickrud, write me a plugin real quick...
[06:19] <plong0> anrky: it has been my experience you'll never get really comfortable with it till you "take the plunge" so to speak and load it full time
[06:19] <nickrud> KiD_ChAoS: a plugin
[06:19] <MagoonD> anyone I know its now hard to do i just need to find out how to mount the drive?
[06:19] <KiD_ChAoS> lol
[06:19] <plong0> yeah it took a bit of work to get going... there was a tutorial.  I'd suggest just go for the standard CD/DVD edition for now.
[06:19] <anrky> i know what you mean, but i just wanna give it a test drive first, know what i mean?
[06:19] <plong0> yeah
[06:20] <EnvoyRising> MagoonD: sudo mount <partition> <mount point>
[06:20] <plong0> have you ever used linux before?
[06:20] <plong0> or a mac?
[06:20] <anrky> i've used unix
[06:20] <anrky> did webhosting
[06:20] <anrky> worked with unix servers
[06:20] <plong0> oh k... so you know your way around the terminal a bit then?
[06:20] <Jigs> mkquist: ryt now am using ubuntu in this machine... in my other machine, am trying to install ubuntu but no luck it always stop in 57% when installing.. so i planned to install it with xubuntu.. and it was successfully.. xp and xubuntu installed nicely, but after xubuntu updated, grub 18 error came out to that machine
[06:20] <nickrud> MagoonD: did you ever have that drive mounting automatically?
[06:20] <anrky> yea
[06:20] <MagoonD> EnvoyRising, how do I find out the partion and mount point
[06:20] <ogre> EnvoyRising:  heres is the output for ./configure http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56587/
[06:20] <plong0> that's definitely a big head start on most people
[06:21] <anrky> i bet...lol
[06:21] <plong0> you might find ubuntu coddles you a bit :P
[06:21] <MagoonD> nickrud, no I did not but in win xp it works fine
[06:21] <MagoonD> its formatted as fat32
[06:21] <EnvoyRising> MagoonD:  fdisk -l
[06:21] <nickrud> MagoonD: well, that leaves out the idea I had about why it didn't automount
[06:21] <anrky> yea i've heard alot of good things about ubuntu
[06:21] <EnvoyRising> as for mount point, thats for you to decide. you may have to make it actually
[06:21] <anrky> really looking forward to giving it a shot
[06:21] <EnvoyRising> mkdir /mount/<any name you want>
[06:21] <MagoonD> ok thanks let me try that
[06:21] <sleepwalk> hey could ANYONE please tell me the best way to rebuild my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file???  My current video settings are correct, but when I reboot I loose the setup...I also noticed some minor errors in the xorg.conf file.  ANY ideas??? xorg.conf file at: http://pastebin.com/m7f70ba81
[06:22] <plong0> yeah, ubuntu is sweet.
[06:22] <nickrud> EnvoyRising: /media is the normal place in ubuntu (puts an icon on the desktop)
[06:22] <Owner_> how set environment variables permanently in BASH ?
[06:22] <orph_> anrky: why not just boot the live cd? it'll let you play with the desktop, run apps and firefox to browse the web, etc
[06:22] <mkquist> Jigs: did it boot after the update to linux?
[06:22] <erudified> I think Ubuntu has image problems ;) It should look cooler!
[06:22] <Jigs> mkquist: yes sir
[06:22] <chrisb_> @sleepwalk  what happens to the setup?
[06:22] <plong0> I want my Ubuntu to look like sex
[06:22] <mkquist> Jigs: if it did, then grub is probably confused about where windows is...
[06:22] <nickrud> Owner: add the definition to ~/.bashrc
[06:22] <Jigs> mkquist: aw
[06:22] <n2diy> Owner: ~/.bashrc?
[06:22] <erudified> Yes, a default ubuntu installation should be capable of getting your average nerd laid
[06:23] <Owner> nickrud I wanna do that for all users not just for a specific user how can I do that?
[06:23] <anrky> orph_: what do you mean?
[06:23] <Jigs> mkquist: anyway... i formatted it again, i changed it fat32
[06:23] <plong0> erudified, anytime I mention linux to girls they seem to get a bit awkward
[06:23] <mkquist> Jigs: changed what?
[06:23] <EnvoyRising> nickrud: grr.. damned gentoo/other linux habits
[06:23] <chrisb_> sleepwalk:    are your settings going back to what they were, or are they just failing?
[06:23] <nickrud> Owner: add it to /etc/bash.bashrc
[06:23] <erudified> personal qualities such as dedication, willingness to commit, parenting abilities, etc, should be conveyed by the default Ubuntu theme
[06:23] <Jigs> mkquist: i changed it to fat32
[06:23] <orph_> anrky: if you download and burn the ubuntu install CD, then boot it, you'll get a fully functional Ubuntu desktop you can play with without installing anything
[06:23] <Owner> alright thnk
[06:23] <mkquist> Jigs: you didnt need to reformat ur windows drive... =\
[06:23] <lynxx> alright just installed xbuntu and updated it...but what do i need to play the dvix codec...
[06:24] <EnvoyRising> ogre: you need libnet-dev..let me look for the exact name real quick
[06:24] <nickrud> EnvoyRising: 99.44% of what you know transfers, it's always the little stuff that trips :)
[06:24] <Jigs> mkquist: thats sad i already did...
[06:24] <plong0> erudified, I'd prefer if my default Ubuntu theme was a naked lady
[06:24] <orph_> anrky: if you like it, you can click the "Install" link on the desktop and it'll run you through the process of getting it on your hard drive
[06:24] <Darkmystere> OMG i keep getting readonly file system!
[06:24] <Darkmystere> Could not set mode 0700 on private per-user gnome configuration directory `/root/.gnome2_private/': Read-only file system
[06:24] <Darkmystere> or
[06:24] <ste-foy> Thank you for your help Jigs
[06:24] <erudified> plong0, but not just any naked lady, a marilyn monroe type, a real classic beauty, not showing it all, just enough to get the job done
[06:24] <Jigs> mkquist: anyway... if thats happens again, what sould i do?
[06:24] <Darkmystere>  man nano
[06:24] <Darkmystere> man: can't create a temporary filename: Read-only file system
[06:24] <anrky> orph_: right thats my plan, i want to run it off cd first, and if i like it i'll install it all the way alter
[06:25] <anrky> later*
[06:25] <Jigs> mkquist: *should
[06:25] <mkquist> Jigs: well, now your best bet is to reinstall windows, then reinstall grub, in that order, let windows take over (it will on install), but then reinstalling grub will let you boot both
[06:25] <plong0> erudified, of course... maybe Tux peaking out mischieviously from under her skirt
[06:25] <Darkmystere> Well i was trying to boot windows partion...
[06:25] <Darkmystere> from a VM
[06:25] <orph_> anrky: good thing people have been working on making that exact desire work :)
[06:25] <mkquist> Jigs: prob just edit your menu.list in /boot/grub, probably would have fixed it...
[06:25] <Indiadev_Techie> Darkmystere: wht happend ???
[06:25] <MagoonD> EnvoyRising, nickrud that worked when i mounted it using sudo
[06:25] <Darkmystere> Idk...
[06:25] <Indiadev_Techie> Darkmystere: can u repeat ur question ???
[06:25] <plong0> erudified, Tux holding a pear of Ubuntu panties in his beak
[06:25] <EnvoyRising> the person that was trying to ./configure.. the package you need to install is c alled libnet6-1.3-0-dev
[06:25] <Darkmystere> Even Ktorrents says readonly file system.......
[06:25] <plong0> wait... pair, not pear
[06:25] <erudified> I've been thinking of packaging up my peculiar Rox/Murrine/Firefox 3.0b3/Compiz/Kibadock setup
[06:26] <mkquist> Jigs: off to go reinstall windows now, would be my guess on what u should do
[06:26] <Darkmystere> Everything i do that has to right something to file system it comes back saying readonly file system
[06:26] <Darkmystere> How can i fix this?
[06:26] <erudified> G-Flat SVG Icons with some OSX style icons in the mix
[06:26] <plong0> pears are fruits... but not my preferred eating selection
[06:26] <Jigs> mkquist: ok ok thank you man
[06:26] <erudified> It's hot.
[06:26] <nickrud> erudified:  the erudite edition?
[06:26] <EnvoyRising> Darkmystere: you'll have to put sudo before your commands then
[06:26] <plong0> mkquist: you'll be installing windows for hooours
[06:26] <mkquist> Jigs: check back
[06:26] <anrky> Quit IRC:/quit Leaving
[06:26] <Jigs> mkquist: thank you very much
[06:26] <erudified> Sure ;) hehe
[06:26] <Darkmystere> i tried that...
[06:26] <Indiadev_Techie> Indiadev_Techie: whats the filesystem of that partition...
[06:26] <mkquist> plong0: oh come on, it's not that bad...
[06:26] <anrky> Quit IRC
[06:26] <Darkmystere> when i do sudo nautilus it gives me:Could not set mode 0700 on private per-user gnome configuration directory `/root/.gnome2_private/': Read-only file system
[06:26] <mkquist> Jigs: g/l and def check back before u do that again =p
[06:27] <Darkmystere> A couple mins ago it wasnt read only :/
[06:27] <EnvoyRising> Darkmystere: altternatively, if its something you have to write to frequently, change permissions of that particcular folder by chmoding it
[06:27] <plong0> mkquist: kind of it is... too much rebooting when you start installing patches and junk
[06:27] <n2diy> How can I restart/reset a comm port? Every couple of weeks my external modem appears to be busy to Ubuntu. Even when I disconnect  the modem, kppp tells me it is busy, so it seems to be a software issue?
[06:27] <tigran> hey, how come etherwake nor wakeonlan work, is it a bug?
[06:27] <plong0> n2diy: you have a comm port modem?
[06:27] <nickrud> Darkmystere: try sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/<device>
[06:27] <feysalus> hello!
[06:27] <^CatMan^> i am having problems with getting kcron to actually run a program like it is suppossed to... how do i make it work?
[06:27] <Darkmystere> EnvoyRising: Err....It just started doing this
[06:27] <plong0> n2diy: does it go beep-beep-boop
[06:28] <n2diy> plong0: yes I do. Yes it does.
[06:28] <MagoonD> how do I list all my drives fdisk -l only lists the external ones connected?
[06:28] <EnvoyRising> oh, well like nickrud said try remounting
[06:28] <feysalus> how do I create a link to 'Filesystem' in the 'Places' menu, when I drag the shortcut from that computer folder it creates a link in the taskbar
[06:28] <Darkmystere> brb
[06:28] <n2diy> MagoonD: lshw?
[06:28] <mkquist> plong0: necessary evils im afraid
[06:28] <ogre> EnvoyRising: libnet6-1.3-0-dev said it couldnt find package
[06:28] <plong0> n2diy: oh no.  I think it might be broken then.  If it was working, it'd be going boop-beep-beep
[06:28] <ubuntu> does any1 here use kino?
[06:28] <erudified> Ubuntu Bug #1 is great ;)
[06:28] <Owner> I have an ubuntu box , and I have a dedicated Server which is freebsd , in my freebsd for all useres i specified a specifi value for a env. variables. when I use this command "rsh microsoft8.com echo $PVM_ROOT" on my ubuntu it works and ask me for enter password and after the password it give me empty string value :( so whats wrong with this?
[06:28] <mkquist> plong0: oh well, done now...
[06:29] <erudified> More open source projects should be that ambitious
[06:29] <EnvoyRising> ogre: then open up your synaptic and search for libnet
[06:29] <plong0> mkquist: you're right, windows is evil
[06:29] <EnvoyRising> then find a package that ends in -dev and install that
[06:29] <MagoonD> n2diy, lshw lists all the hardware
[06:29] <EnvoyRising> then retry your ./configure
[06:29] <n2diy> plong0: it works after a shutdown, but not a restart. And I have two of them, and they both behave the same.
[06:29] <^CatMan^> i am having problems with getting kcron to actually run a program like it is suppossed to... how do i make it work?
[06:29] <Javid> ubuntu bug #1?
[06:29] <plong0> n2diy: boop-beep-beep :)
[06:29] <erudified> haha yeah
[06:30] <n2diy> MagoonD: sorry, brain cramp, ifconfig?
[06:30] <erudified> "Microsoft has a majority market share"
[06:30] <erudified> =)
[06:30] <Javid> hehe
[06:30] <plong0> and are therefore evil
[06:30] <nickrud> ^CatMan^: you'll probably get better kde help in #kubuntu
[06:30] <Owner> I have an ubuntu box , and I have a dedicated Server which is freebsd , in my freebsd for all useres i specified a specifi value for a env. variables. when I use this command "rsh microsoft8.com echo $PVM_ROOT" on my ubuntu it works and ask me for enter password and after the password it give me empty string value :( so whats wrong with this?
[06:30] <MagoonD> lol n2diy ifconfig gives ipconfig
[06:30] <Javid> "addressed in 12.04 patch"
[06:30] <^CatMan^> nobody there knows how either?
[06:30] <nickrud> !bug 1
[06:30] <MagoonD> n2diy, i need to know how to list out my hard drives and their set partition
[06:30] <ubotu> For discussion and help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubotu equivalents

[06:30] <plong0> ^CatMan^: are you really a cat?
[06:31] <^CatMan^> plong0: no
[06:31] <joanki> if i am logging on to a remote server through ssh, how do i move files from my computer ot the shell i am logged in to remotely?
[06:31] <Indiadev_Techie> erudified: yes it does have majority of market shares...but that doesnt mean it will be for ever...linux (ubuntu n other linux os) r gaining popularity....
[06:31] <plong0> ^CatMan^: oh. like cats.  they are furry and nice.
[06:32] <Cromag> !scp
[06:32] <^CatMan^> plong0: fogive me if i'm not overly talkative right now, i'm tired and trying to set my computer up as an alarm clock and it isn't working right
[06:32] <ubotu> SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/
[06:32] <ogre> EnvoyRising:  cool deal. I got it installed. thanks a bunch
[06:32] <nickrud> joanki: I use a separate terminal, scp file user@remote:/path/to/location
[06:32] <Indiadev_Techie> MagoonD: use gnome partiton manager (gpart)...
[06:32] <tigran> I do  sudo etherwake -b <IP_ADDRESS> for a broadcast, but it gives me an error, whats the correct way to use it?
[06:32] <Cromag> joanki: theres your answer :)
[06:32] <plong0> ^CatMan^: oh. sorry ^CatMan^.  Did you write the program?
[06:32] <^CatMan^> plong0: yeah, i love cats too. i have one that thinks he's a dog
[06:33] <joanki> nickrud, i dunno what that means...
[06:33] <vega-> I need to change the MAC address of my network card (integrated) on every boot, this probably needs to be done after nic drivers are loaded but before networking is setup. What would be the correct place/way to do this?
[06:33] <EnvoyRising> joanki: just to add the fire, "microsoft has the largest market share " is pretty ambiguous. what market? who owns the web server market? linux. embedded stystems market? linux
[06:33] <EnvoyRising> ogre: no prob
[06:33] <Acoustyk> i downloaded a theme package for emerald and none of the themes are changing the two bars or the scroll bar.  How do I fix this?
[06:33] <joanki> so open another window within the new shell or within my computer's shell?
[06:33] <MagoonD> Indiadev_Techie, ok thx if i had two hard drives how would I switch to the other one, in windows dos I would do cd F: to switch to the other drive?
[06:33] <nickrud> joanki: you use a different session than your ssh session. Like, shift-ctl-t in gnome-terminal, and scp from there
[06:33] <^CatMan^> plong0: no, i'm just tryin to get kde to run kaffeine with a playlist at 7 am tomorrow morning
[06:34] <Indiadev_Techie> EnvoyRising: i agree wid u bro...

[06:35] <^CatMan^> ubuntu sorry, i don't even know what that program is supposed to do :D
[06:35] <MagoonD> Indiadev_Techie, no when I am in ubuntu and in terminal how do I access another partition? switch over to it so I can lists its contents by doing ls
[06:36] <MrObvious> MagoonD: cd /media/pathtootherpartition
[06:36] <MrObvious> MagoonD: Do a ls /media to see which folders are in there.
[06:36] <KevinVN> Checking for Xgl: not present.
[06:36] <KevinVN> how to fix ?
[06:36] <plong0> MagoonD, you need to mount it first
[06:36] <feysalus> sorry MrObvious
[06:36] <MrObvious> KevinVN: For what?
[06:36] <derwiki> How can I downgrade from Hardy Alpha 4 to Gutsy?
[06:36] <MrObvious> feysalus: It's ok.
[06:36] <MagoonD> MrObvious, thx and how do I list all the media thats available
[06:36] <nickrud> derwiki: reinstall
[06:36] <^CatMan^> plong0: i've tried using kcron to get it to work, with little success... it works when i manually tell it to run the playlist, but not when it is scheduled
[06:37] <KevinVN> for compiz & effect
[06:37] <Dezine> Hi, how do I install fonts?
[06:37] <MagoonD> MrObvious, is it fdisk -l ?
[06:37] <^CatMan^> plong0: am i doing something wrong?
[06:37] <sleepwalk> Dezine:  Browse synaptic package manager
[06:37] <MrObvious> MagoonD: It might be I forget.
[06:37] <KevinVN> I had install driver NVIDIA but can't enable effect, compiz too
[06:37] <n2diy> MagoonD: sorry, I don't play with my hard drive.
[06:37] <MagoonD> plong0, i already got it to mount how do I unmount it whats the command for that?
[06:37] <derwiki> nickrud: It's a VM image... I was hoping to downgrade it. Is that possible?
[06:37] <nickrud> Dezine: copy the ttf file to /usr/share/fonts/truetype , or create ~/.fonts and put it there
[06:37] <MagoonD> n2diy, np
[06:37] <plong0> ^CatMan^: oh there's no like command line argument to starting playing a certain playlist?
[06:37] <MrObvious> KevinVN: Trying to compile it or something?
[06:37] <^CatMan^> derwiki: umount
[06:37] <sleepwalk> Dezine: Do a search for "font".  If you want fonts for specific programs, try searching terms that would match that program
[06:38] <plong0> MagoonD: sudo umount /yourmountpath
[06:38] <tigran> I can turn on my second pc using a Windows utility for wake-on-lan, but if I use etherwake or wakeonlan from my linux pc, it doesn't turn the other pc on, what can I do?
[06:38] <nickrud> derwiki: downgrades are not supported under debian/ubuntu.
[06:38] <Dezine> sleepwalk, I have a font I downloaded from a site.
[06:38] <KevinVN> MrObvious: install nvidia-glx-new ?
[06:38] <MagoonD> plong0, thx
[06:38] <alanna> I'm trying to install vbox at the moment and not having much luck because of dependencies. I need to get libxalan110 but sudo apt-get install libxalan110 depends on libxerces 27 which depends on libxalan110 apparently :S
[06:38] <plong0> MagoonD: np
[06:38] <Dezine> but thanks
[06:38] <MrObvious> KevinVN: Ubuntu comes with compiz so you shouldn't need to compile it. :\
[06:38] <nickrud> Dezine: read back, I told you how
[06:38] <^CatMan^> the command for it is /usr/bin/kaffeine --play /home/john/docs/playlists/wake\ up.m3u
[06:38] <Darkmystere> Now i cant even get into Ubuntu
[06:38] <Acoustyk> emerald is not theming my top/bottom bars or scroll bar.  How do I fix this?
[06:38] <plong0> nickrud: downgrades are suggested by microsoft for their new Windows Vista operating system.
[06:38] <Darkmystere> That SUCKS! i cant get into windows nor ubuntu... im in backtrack..
[06:38] <Dezine> I saw that, thanks nickrud
[06:39] <MrObvious> Darkmystere: Why?
[06:39] <KevinVN> so it problem with driver graphic ?
[06:39] <MrObvious> KevinVN: Probably some package not installed.
[06:39] <^CatMan^> plong0: and that works when i manually tell it to, but not when it is set for a specific time
[06:39] <PaloAlto> why doesnt chmod agroup=-rwx bla/ work ?
[06:39] <Darkmystere> Mrobvious, Before i rebooted it was complaning about readonly filesystem so i tried rebooting but it keeps mouting as readonly and the fsck isnt working...nothing is..
[06:39] <^CatMan^> plong0: lmao @ ms downgrades!
[06:40] <MrObvious> Whoa Darkmystere .
[06:40] <plong0> haha they have commercials
[06:40] <^CatMan^> i've seen those :)
[06:40] <PaloAlto> im trying to change permissions to a folder for a certain group
[06:40] <^CatMan^> but those are mac commercials :D
[06:40] <Dezine> Ok, I need the font to work in GIMP. I made the fonts folder and moved it there how to I get GIMP to recognize it.
[06:40] <KevinVN> MrObvious: I can enable effect with file install.run downloaded in NVIDIA.COM. How to remove & reinstall it ?
[06:40] <plong0> PaloAlto: did you try man chmod?
[06:41] <Indiadev_Techie> MagoonD: try this >> $ sudo mount /mnt/hda1
 why doesnt chmod agroup=-rwx bla/ work ?
[06:41] <Darkmystere> Well Lucky for me that i installed Backtrack... or id be out of os's to boot in..
[06:41] <MrObvious> KevinVN: Sorry I forget exactly. I'm rather tired.
[06:41] <nickrud> Dezine: restart gimp, it should find it. If not, run   fc-cache  in a terminal
[06:41] <Dezine> ok ty
[06:41] <plong0> PaloAlto: man chmod
[06:41] <KevinVN> oh, thanks!
[06:41] <Indiadev_Techie> MagoonD: $ sudo mount /mnt/hda1  (here hda1 is the partition name)...
[06:41] <EnvoyRising> someone say my name? i missed it
[06:41] <KevinVN> How to reinstall driver NVIDIA?
[06:41] <^CatMan^> Indiadev_Techie: wouldn't sudo mount /dev/hda1 work better?
[06:42] <n2diy> I've had three brown outs in the last ten minutes, and my phone line went dead too. A local power pole is down, so major powerline work is up coming. Other then shutting down, what should I do to protect my system, so it will do an orderly power up, if I do lose power?
[06:42] <tigran> I can turn on my second pc using a Windows utility for wake-on-lan, but if I use etherwake or wakeonlan from my linux pc, it doesn't turn the other pc on, what can I do?
[06:42] <joanki> nickrud... it's not working
[06:42] <Indiadev_Techie> ^CatMan^: yes...
[06:42] <Indiadev_Techie> ^CatMan^: thanx..
[06:42] <^CatMan^> :D
[06:42] <plong0> PaloAlto: if you just want to remove for group do... chmod g-rwx bla
[06:42] <Indiadev_Techie> ^CatMan^: :)
[06:42] <sleepwalk> Dezine: Sorry, I was coming into the end of the conversation I guess. hehe
[06:42] <^CatMan^> i'm slowly but surely learnin this system
[06:43] <Dezine> np
[06:43] <^CatMan^> it's just got a few quirks that i need to figure out :)
[06:43] <patogen> Is icecast something that requires much of your computer?
[06:43] <PaloAlto> plong0, i want to do it for a specefic group
[06:43] <Dezine> I don't think I explained that I downloaded the file so it's ok
[06:43] <PaloAlto> not for my current group
[06:43] <nickrud> joanki: I would type at a terminal,  scp  /path/to/local/file username@host.com:/home/username  to put it my home dir on the remote machine
[06:43] <KevinVN> How to reinstall driver NVIDIA?
[06:43] <plong0> PaloAlto: chown groupname:username
[06:44] <joanki> so in my ubuntu terminal (not remote host) type that?
[06:44] <plong0> PaloAlto: sorry chown groupname:username
[06:44] <nickrud> joanki: yes
[06:44] <plong0> PaloAlto: double sorry chown username:groupname
[06:45] <nickrud> plong0: you can get the hat trick on sorries, do the command with a file :)
[06:45] <^CatMan^> screw it! i'm just gonna use my $5 alarm clock to get me up in the morning! lol
[06:46] <plong0> PaloAlto: triple sorry FTW chown username:groupname bla
[06:46] <nickrud> ^CatMan^: 'the right tool for the right job' :)
[06:46] <joanki> it's connecting now nickrud but it says Permission denied
[06:46] <nickrud> plong0: rflol
[06:46] <PaloAlto> ok, plong0 , that will change the folder's owner, which is not quite what i want, i created a new group, with a new user, and i want this user to be jailed essentially
[06:46] <nickrud> joanki: did it ask for a password?
[06:46] <joanki> yes
[06:46] <^CatMan^> nickrud: i was thinkin tho that if i can get it to wake me up, then i can get it to do other system admin tasks while i'm sleepin
[06:46] <PaloAlto> and there is folders the group has access to, and i want to change that
[06:46] <nickrud> joanki: ok, now be sure you have write permissions to the path you specified
[06:47] <joanki> waait... the problem is my file
[06:47] <joanki> i did this:  scp ./file_name.c user@remoteHost:/
[06:47] <Acoustyk> is there an emerald channel?
[06:47] <joanki> it says Permission is denied to my file
[06:47]  * ^CatMan^ hisses at the wolf_ :D
[06:48] <nickrud> joanki: that's not a place you can scp to, it's a system file. (unless you ssh'ed in as root, which is a BAD IDEA
[06:48] <plong0> PaloAlto: I don't think you can change permissions on a per-group basis like that.  this might help though http://www.unix.com/linux/13554-how-can-i-jail-user.html
[06:48] <joanki> i thought that was a syntax for my pwd?
[06:48] <joanki> the file is in my pwd
[06:49] <PaloAlto> kk, thanks
[06:49] <joanki> oh wow nickrud it works
[06:49] <nickrud> joanki: I'm talking about on the remote machine, as a user you can only write to your home dir and below on the remote machine
[06:49] <joanki> thanks soooo much

[06:58] <^CatMan^> Darkmystere: with what?
[06:58] <nickrud> Darkmystere: wish I could ... have you tried booting a livecd and fscking the partition?
[06:58] <TheLittlePrince> Is there anyone who uses Palm PDA(LifeDrive)?
[06:59] <nickrud> CaptainMorgan: you would edit the menu launcher item, add --geometry=80x50  for example (50 lines, 80 chars)
[06:59] <dave> hi. im looking to make money online quick and automatically. ive written scripts for signing up and messaging automation and im familiar with affiliates. i have experience with programming in different languages and can pick them up quick. im looking for other coders to talk to and possibly share ideas.
[06:59] <CaptainMorgan> nickrud, I initially did that.. to no avail
[06:59] <Jigs> brb
[06:59] <n2diy> CaptainMorgan: Close it the way you like it configured?
[06:59] <nickrud> dave: you should ask that on #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:59] <^CatMan^> CaptainMorgan: i just keep a terminal open all the time :D
[07:00] <nickrud> CaptainMorgan: using the menu after you did that didn't work? then you have something wrong in your editing
[07:00] <^CatMan^> CaptainMorgan: that way, i resize it once and it's done :D
[07:00] <Darkmystere> Im doing fcsk from Backtrack right now tho
[07:00] <CaptainMorgan> thanks ^CatMan^ but that's not the solution I require
[07:00] <Darkmystere> its my last os that i can boot :/
[07:00] <Darkmystere> Windows it broke...
[07:01] <Darkmystere> so is Ubuntu..
[07:01] <plong0> ^CatMan^: I keep at least 3...  when I'm in development mode, I open a couple more, most of them would have a vi window split a few times
[07:01] <EnvoyRising_> can someone kick EnvoyRising so i can get my name back?
[07:01] <^CatMan^> plong0: when i'm doin that kind of stuff, i use kate :D that's got a built in terminal :D
[07:01] <^CatMan^> and it looks pretty :D
[07:02] <plong0> kate?
[07:02] <plong0> vi is my life
[07:02] <mkquist> Darkmystere: whats up?
[07:02] <EnvoyRising_> gedit has a built in terminal as well
[07:02] <ph0rensic> nickrud, Is there a preferred file system to use for setting up a share that ubuntu users and windows users can access?
[07:02] <plong0> well maybe not my life... but I do love coding in it
[07:02] <n2diy> EnvoyRising_: be quite for twenty minutes, and he'll get dropped, then you can use the nick command to get it back.
[07:02] <mkquist> Darkmystere: I'll take a stab at it, but it's late for me...
[07:02] <^CatMan^> plong0: as funny as this may sound, i don't know how to use vi
[07:02] <bro-man> How can I undelete an entire folder I just accidently deleted (not sent to trashbin) ???
[07:02] <Darkmystere> Well...I was trying to use VMWare Workstation to boot windows partion like a VM
[07:03] <magnetron> yo yo yo Darkmystere, what's up with the crappy graphics card
[07:03] <EnvoyRising_> 20 min? oh well
[07:03] <^CatMan^> plong0: with kate, or even gedit, it's all point and shoot :D
[07:03] <magnetron> bro-man: you can't.
[07:03] <Darkmystere> And i wasnt successfull the first time because of privilages so i do sudo /usr/bin/vmware...then tried again it was doing too much so i killed it..
[07:03] <nickrud> EnvoyRising_: if you register EnvoyRising with freenode you can use /msg nickserv ghost Envoyrising , give it your password and kick it yourself next time
[07:03] <plong0> ^CatMan^: yeah, vi takes a bit to get used to at first... but once you get the basics it's wicked. no mousing needed.
[07:04] <EnvoyRising_> ^CatMan^: i like vi. tried emacs too and liked it, but i swear it felt like instant carpal tunnel using it
[07:04] <magnetron> ph0rensic: fat32 or maybe ntfs
[07:04] <Darkmystere> then Ktorrent started complaining about read-only filesystem so i tried sudo nautilus then it was saying read-only filesystem too
[07:04] <nickrud> EnvoyRising_: I remapped caps lock as ctl, my fingers thanked me muchly
[07:04] <plong0> ph0rensic: I wouldn't recommend ntfs for linux-windows sharing
[07:05] <Darkmystere> so i tried sudo gedit (some file that needs you to be super user to use...and it gave readonly too..
[07:05] <^CatMan^> i guess i'm just familiar with a windows based platform, and i like the looks of it and still have all the shortcut keys available
[07:05] <EnvoyRising_> nickrud: good idea
[07:05] <ph0rensic> nickrud, Is there a preferred file system to use for setting up a share that ubuntu users and windows users can access?
[07:05]  * ^CatMan^ runs kde4
[07:05] <CaptainMorgan> nickrud, got it... thanks.. I figured out that through the Applications > Accessories > Terminal, it would work, but I was launching form the panel, so I just replaced the current launcher in the panel with the new one. works. Cheers :)
[07:05] <bro-man> magnetron:   come on, man... even winblows has a ton of programs that can do it... is this Linux's axhilles heel ?
[07:05] <ph0rensic> magnetron, Could I use ext or would windows not be able to read it?
[07:05] <plong0> oh... kde...
[07:06] <^CatMan^> wtg CaptainMorgan :)
[07:06] <plong0> ph0rensic: windows can't read ext
[07:06] <nickrud> ph0rensic: sorry, I forgot to answer. On the same machine? ntfs is good enough, you can use fs-driver.org for ext2 if you like. samba for between machines
[07:06] <mkquist> Darkmystere: so ur running windows vmware?  Prob can't help w/that,  I just dual boot.  But what's with all the sudo's?  Did you just randomly do this or investigate it first?
[07:06] <^CatMan^> samba can tho plong0
[07:06] <mkquist> *under
[07:06] <plong0> hassle to use it though
[07:06] <EnvoyRising_> bro-man: what doesn' linux have again?
[07:06] <plong0> well one extra step... but yeah
[07:07] <n2diy> I've had three brown outs in the last ten minutes, and my phone line went dead too. A local power pole is down, so major powerline work is up coming. Other then shutting down, what should I do to protect my system, so it will do an orderly power up, if I do lose power?
[07:07] <^CatMan^> EnvoyRising_: a long wait time for bug fixes :D
[07:07] <bro-man> I'm hearing Linux wont undelete...  (as in 'not sent to trashbin"...
[07:07] <nickrud> n2diy: unplug it if you're concerned about a surge
[07:07] <mkquist> n2diy: shut it down... unless u have a lot of faith in ur surge... id think
[07:08] <EnvoyRising_> ^CatMan^: you mean bug pseudo fixes, right?
[07:08] <mkquist> nickrud: ur only risking ur machine after all...
[07:08] <EnvoyRising_> or rather relabeling as a feature, lol
[07:08] <plong0> n2diy: disconnect it from the wall socket, wrap it in tin foil and put it in the bathtub
[07:08] <^CatMan^> EnvoyRising_: hey, as long as they work :D
[07:08] <magnetron> bro-man: ext3 is designed with efficiency in mind. it efficiently removes files if you delete them. that's why there is a trash can. i'm afraid you'll have to go and get your backups.
[07:08] <mkquist> nickrud: sry wrong person
[07:08] <nickrud> mkquist: I'm a fraidy cat :0
[07:08] <mkquist> nickrud: nvm.. lol
[07:09] <mkquist> lmao.. after that
[07:09] <plong0> EnvoyRising_: aren't all bug fixes, really just bug pseudo fixes?
[07:09] <EnvoyRising_> plong0: arguably, lol
[07:09] <n2diy> nickrud: mkquist, plong0, thanks, wasn't exactly of what I was thinking. So fare I'm riding out the trouble, and I'm sorry I didn't replace my UPS. I was thinking more along the line of updatedb.
[07:09] <EnvoyRising_> speaking of which, i need a fix. i haven't programmed anything in forever
[07:09]  * Darkmystere &2
[07:09] <n2diy> fare/far
[07:10] <nickrud> n2diy: that gets run at 7:30 am each day ...
[07:10] <plong0> EnvoyRising_: processing.org baby
[07:10] <Darkmystere> Oh sorry didnt mean to don that...
[07:10] <soldats> hey, what codecs do i need for streaming from mplayer-nogui. i thought i had them on this new install. maybe i typoed a command or something
[07:10] <nano__> and the best/coolest gnome mp3 player is....
[07:10] <nickrud> n2diy: assuming you're on 24/7 that is
[07:10] <n2diy> nickrud: or whenever I want to run it.
[07:10] <mkquist> n2diy: well, if ur ups is something ur count on then go ahead.. but it's only your computer at stake here
[07:10] <[chr0n0s]> nano_, nano_
[07:11] <soldats> nano__: mocp (a cli based mp3 player)
[07:11]  * Darkmystere does anymore know the answer to my problem?
[07:11] <[chr0n0s]> nano__, nano__
[07:11] <nano__> ?
[07:11] <n2diy> mkquist: I have a back up/test box.
[07:11] <nano__> chr0n0s: are you trying to say something?
[07:11] <joe_> does anybody know what mythtv is?
[07:11] <EnvoyRising_> plong0: so its like art  for coding junkies?
[07:11] <mkquist> n2diy: always a good thing
[07:11] <bazhang> joe_: like tivo but free
[07:12] <n2diy> mkquist: Yes, and it makes playing with linux/ubuntu fun, not a worry.
[07:12] <joe_> bazhang, do u have to have cable?
[07:12] <Stoffer> i have an external usb hard drive that isn't partitioned...how do I go about partitioning it when ubuntu can't find it?
[07:12] <joe_> or is it internet streams
[07:12] <mkquist> n2diy: soo true
[07:12] <[chr0n0s]> Stoffer, install gparted, and fix it
[07:13] <bazhang> joe_: it is much like tivo--you record stuff you want from cable tv (though terrestrial could work too)
[07:13] <bro-man> magnetron: ... I realize that... but I just goofed and deleted a folder just now and it couldn't have been written over yet... so I was hoping someone might know of a program that can reverse an ext3 deletion...
[07:13] <Stoffer> [chr0n0s], gparted doesn't see it anymore...well it does till you try doing something then it says it doesn't exist
[07:13] <Stoffer> [chr0n0s], i'm gonna try fdisk
[07:13] <Darkmystere> Err Repeating my self for all channels besides #windows because i just joined it: I tried using VMware Workstation in Ubuntu to run Windows XP pro partion like a VM and it didnt work because of permissions and now ubuntu wont boot and of course neither Windows
[07:13] <soldats> hey bazhang :)... do you recall then plugins or codecs i need for mplayer to stream musics
[07:14] <[chr0n0s]> Stoffer, check dmesg immediately after you plugin the hdd
[07:14] <bazhang> soldats: heya ;] you mean like shoutcast or that?
[07:14] <EnvoyRising_> alright people, i've spent enough of my day in here, :-\
[07:14] <bazhang> heh thats what we all say ;]
[07:15] <joanki> can anyone tell me how to use halt with a time to shut off in one hour?
[07:15] <Stoffer> [chr0n0s], ok, I did, what information am I looking for?
[07:15] <^CatMan^> bazhang: actually, i spend to much of my time on dal.net :)
[07:15] <soldats> bazhang: yea. my old install had em. it streams from shoutcast. i can stream it from FF but i dont like gui stuff.
[07:15] <Stoffer> [chr0n0s], it did give me some output related to the hdd
[07:16] <^CatMan^> wb plong0
[07:16] <^CatMan^> plong0: get booted that time? lol
[07:16] <joanki> can anyone tell me how to use halt with a time to shut off in one hour?
[07:17] <[chr0n0s]> Stoffer, just read it.. if there is some problem with hdd, then it normally shows up there, in normally understandable english
[07:17] <ajax4> Hey guys...how do I change the refresh rate of my monitor? It's at 50 right now which is way too low. System > Preferences > Monitor Setting says that I don't have a supported monitor.
[07:17] <^CatMan^> sudo halt +1 hour
[07:17] <magnetron> bro-man: the pointers to the file gets overwritten during deletion. you could unmount it and grep through all the free space on the hard drive. you could also hire a computer data recovery firm to do this for you, unless you have any backups. this all assumes that you use the ext3 filesystem.
[07:17] <ajax4> joanki: You just want to shut down your computer at a specific time?
[07:17] <joanki> yes
[07:17] <joanki> can i use halt
[07:18] <joanki> or shutdown -h 4:00 ?
[07:18] <ajax4> joanki: I use a program called gshutdown
[07:18] <bazhang> soldats would that be with compiz or without? there is a compiz type wdiget that will do it here-- http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=1252 otherwise win32codecs should do the trick--there are several threads at the forums on this precise topic
[07:18] <^CatMan^> ajax4: r u runnin gnome?
[07:18] <bazhang> ^CatMan^: hehe; well at least here can claim to be productive ;]
[07:18] <ajax4> ^CatMan^: Yes.
[07:19] <achandrashekar> Hello...in configuring ldap server.. Im having an issue with ldap server booting up properly....anyone else experience this
[07:19] <^CatMan^> bazhang: i can be productive over there too ;)
[07:19] <soldats> bazhang: no i dont really use guis. its basically a cli install
[07:19] <ogre> im using emerald as window manager. whenever i minimize window it restarts X. how can i troubleshoot this?
[07:19] <^CatMan^> bazhang: just not with computers ;) lol
[07:19] <soldats> bazhang: ill keep searching through aptitude. thanks though :P

[07:20] <bazhang> http://gunbladeiv.blogspot.com/2008/01/ubuntu-record-streaming-media.html soldats here is something about cli though not sure if you want to record or just stream
[07:20] <^CatMan^> ajax4: several, but about what topic specifically? lol
[07:20] <ajax4> ^CatMan^: How to change my monitor refresh rate.
[07:21] <soldats> bazhang: thx ill check it out. im just streaming a friends server.
[07:21] <ajax4> ^CatMan^: System > Preferences > Monitor Settings doesn't work, says I don't have a supported monitor.
[07:21] <tko_> hello
[07:22] <plong0> ^CatMan^: no I didn't get booted... my IBM SketchPad's screen is dieing out on me
[07:22] <^CatMan^> ajax4: personally i would look at the back of ur monitor to find the specifications for that monitor and put those numbers in under a custom setting
[07:23] <ogre> im using emerald as window manager. whenever i minimize window it restarts X. how can i troubleshoot this?
[07:23] <plong0> ^CatMan^: I can't mount hda1 (primary hd) on my main comp
[07:23] <dave> you guys think i could run ubuntu on a dell inspiron 1100 with like 768 ram?
[07:23] <plong0> it doesn't even show up under /dev/
[07:23] <soldats> bazhang: crap i just relized i need a mplayer plugin to read .pls plsylist files
[07:23] <soldats> my eyes are sleepy :)
[07:23] <^CatMan^> plong0: have u checked ur /etc/fstab to see if it is listed there?
[07:24] <dave> im currently running xubuntu on it
[07:24] <n2diy> dave, Dapper runs fine here on 256k. dual 333m cpu's.
[07:24] <soldats> dave: of course
[07:24] <plong0> ^CatMan^: yeah, checked the fstab, not there...  I end up booting into my ubuntustudio install on sdb1
[07:25] <^CatMan^> dave: i'm running kubuntu on a 900 MhZ processor with 128 MG of RAM quite effeciently :D
[07:25] <dave> i tried installing ubuntu on the dell inspiron 1100 in the past when it had 256 ram
[07:25] <[chr0n0s]> n2diy, dual 333mhz cpu.. !
[07:25] <soldats> dave: i used to run ubuntu on 256 mb ram but i switched to xubuntu way back
[07:25] <dave> it didnt want to run
[07:25] <plong0> ^CatMan^: I made a post on the ubuntuforums... it was kind of busy in here earlier
[07:25] <dave> i dunno. i have xubuntu right now. but it seems so. uhh... minimal
[07:26] <[chr0n0s]> dave, not much difference b/w kubuntu and ubuntu
[07:26] <dave> im thinking about just buying a new laptop
[07:26] <soldats> dave: minimal is a cli install which i have right now
[07:26] <^CatMan^> have u checked the dmesg plong0 to see what the puter thinks the hd is when it boots up?
[07:26] <plong0> my SketchPad R40 here I think is a 1ghz with 512mb of ram...  runs it alright
[07:26] <n2diy> (chr0n0s] Yep, 1996 IBM Intelliprow's.
[07:26] <n2diy> prows/pros
[07:27] <Jigs> o boi.. i thought problem will be solved after i reformat my HD then install xubuntu same failed. error 18 again after installing xp and xubuntu then restart. no menu display? what should i do?
[07:27] <^CatMan^> dave considering that they make laptops so tiny now, that seems almost funny :D
[07:27] <dave> i just want a laptop with nice resolution
[07:27] <dave> 1024x768 i feel like im trapped in a box
[07:27] <dave> text size seems like 60pt font
[07:27] <^CatMan^> i'm runnin 1280 x 1024
[07:28] <bro-man> magnetron: ... thanks for the info... I will see if I can find a crash course in grep... but luckily, it was only a movie folder full of rar's... and that might be my dealbreaker... regardless... thats for the info, very informative...
[07:28] <plong0> Jigs: wait till her birthday...
[07:28] <dave> yeah i dont think this inspiron can go past 1024x768
[07:28] <os2mac> I want to make an Ubuntu Live thumbdrive, I am running either Ubuntu Fiesty or Mac OSX leopard depending on which machine I do it on... the only instructions I have seen are for  windows.... can anyone help?
[07:28] <jay-oh-en> ^CatMan^, me too
[07:28] <plong0> Jigs: is your hardware failing?
[07:28] <Helmers> can't boot from the 'alternate' install cd, but can from the normal one... any ideas?
[07:28] <fouad> I'm trying to setup a bridge and I have some problems to do so.... Host=Ubuntu 7.10 , Guest=CentOS , I'm following the steps describe on this website http://doc.gwos.org/doku.php/doc:office:virtualbox#bridging_your_network_card
[07:28] <fouad> but CentOS can't get the ip address, I'm using a wireless connection (Broadcom 4xxx (ndiswrapper))
[07:28] <fouad> any suggestion ?
 or maybe if you can point me to a place where I can verify the logs
[07:28] <^CatMan^> personally dave, i wouldn't buy a dell, but that's just me :)
[07:29] <bazhang> jigs xp first followed by xubuntu? that should work--you might consider hardware issues
[07:29] <dave> i got it from a friend
[07:29] <Jigs> plong0: it is working ok with XP
[07:29] <dave> i was thinking about getting a ibm thinkpad
[07:29] <dave> always wanted one
[07:29] <Jigs> bazhang: yes i installed xp first then defrag then xubuntu
[07:29] <ogre> im using emerald as window manager. whenever i minimize window it restarts X. how can i troubleshoot this?
[07:29] <n2diy> Helmers: try your boot options, noacpi, nodma, etc...
[07:29] <bazhang> !ot | dave
[07:29] <ubotu> dave: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[07:29] <Jigs> bazhang: after installing xubuntu restart the machine it cant go in.. error 18 came out
[07:30] <dave> they banned me from off-topic
[07:30] <Helmers> n2diy: appears the iso image didn't mark itself as bootable or something, don't even get the GRUB menu
[07:30] <^CatMan^> lmao dave
[07:30] <dave> lol
[07:30] <bazhang> dave then stop being offtopic here
