[18:50] <Prabz> minimec, Wow, law graduate, and so much into ubuntu, cool
[18:50] <maco> Prabz: one of the ubuntuforums.org moderators is a law grad
[18:51] <maco> the licensing is probably fascinating
[18:51] <minimec> Prabz: My first Distro was SuSE 6.1 *rofl* I am addicted...
[18:51] <Prabz> maco: that's great...
[18:51] <arand> !ot
[18:52] <Prabz> minimec,  lol, nice
[18:56] <Pathero-ng> hello people
[18:56] <Pathero-ng> I have a problem loading firefox
[18:56] <Pathero-ng> when loading as user takes some extra time then when loading it as root
[18:57] <Prabz> minimec, so you must be using kde?
[18:57] <wolter> Pathero-ng, do you have many plugins?
[18:57] <Pathero-ng> just 2
[18:57] <Pathero-ng> I disabled them still no go
[18:57] <wolter> which?
[18:57] <wolter> oh
[18:57] <wolter> Hm, thats a weird problem Pathero-ng
[18:57] <Pathero-ng> default and shsckware
[18:57] <wolter> does it happen with other applications?
[18:57] <Pathero-ng> shockwave
[18:57] <fluxw0rm> Does anyone know how to change the GDM theme in Karmic, since the previous way of doing this has been taken out by Gnome unfortunantly.
[18:57] <Pathero-ng> not with other graphical gui loaded as user
[18:57] <Pathero-ng> just firefox this hapened
[18:58] <Pathero-ng> after I renamed firefox to fire
[18:58] <Pathero-ng> under su control
[18:58] <wolter> hm
[18:58] <guntbert> !enter | Pathero-ng
[18:58] <wolter> could you rewind that and test again?
[18:58] <Prabz> Pathero-ng, use chrome :)
[18:58] <wolter> fluxw0rm, I have always been able to drag a *.tar.* with a theme inside it to the Appearance app and change themes in no time
[18:59] <minimec> Prabz: Oh no! I always used gnome. With SuSE 6.1 we were using fwvm ... *rofl*
[18:59] <wolter> Pathero-ng, I also recommend chrome..
[18:59] <wolter> Pathero-ng, but anyway, if you cannot rewind those changes you can reinstall firefox
[18:59] <fluxw0rm> ls
[18:59] <fluxw0rm> woops
[18:59] <fluxw0rm> wolter: ah, thanks.
[19:00] <wolter> Pathero-ng, and next time, copy or link firefox to fire instead of moving (renaming) it
[19:00] <wolter> fluxw0rm, did it work?
[19:00] <blakkheim> Pathero-ng: you could mv your ~/.mozilla to a different backup directory and then start firefox. all settings will be reset..
[19:00] <wolter> Pathero-ng, good advice ^
[19:02] <fluxw0rm> wolter: it appears to be an invalid theme when dragging the .tar.gz file into the Appearance app.
[19:02] <fluxw0rm> Perhaps I can move the theme folder somewhere like ~/.themes or whatever directory GDM keeps its theme files.
[19:03] <Todd> evening
[19:03] <wolter> Thats what dragging to Appearance does
[19:03] <wolter> fluxw0rm, can you compare a theme that works by dragging with the one that does not? download both tar.gz files and observe the structure
[19:05] <gibsonf1> I'm having trouble get stunnel to find my SSL library installation on Ubuntu 7.1 with openssl 0.9.8e - does anyone have any ideas?

[19:10] <Mozzytm> i have set up a static ip in  '/etc/network/interfaces'  but when i run ifconfig it has no ip?
[19:11] <iceroot> Mozzytm: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[19:11] <Mozzytm> yeah i tried thar
[19:11] <Mozzytm> *that
[19:11] <Mozzytm> still no joy
[19:11] <iceroot> Mozzytm: output of syntax-error?
[19:12] <Mozzytm>  inet6 addr: is just blank
[19:12] <Mozzytm> unlike lo and wlan0
[19:12] <iceroot> Mozzytm: you want to set ipv4 or ipv6?
[19:12] <Mozzytm> erm... 4 i think
[19:13] <Mozzytm> well.... 4 will definately do
[19:13] <iceroot> Mozzytm: post the output of /etc/network/interfaces to pastebin
[19:13] <Mozzytm> !pastebin
[19:14] <Mozzytm> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m7b373e56
[19:15] <Mozzytm> have i missed anything?
[19:15] <Mozzytm> im also using wicd as my network manager
[19:16] <Hilikus> is it possible to limit sudo to give root READ access? its for backup and the process has to read everything to back it up but there's no need to give it write access on everything like normal sudo does
[19:16] <zagabar> if I have set up ics so that one network card is input for other computers, and one is output to the internet, how do I add a wireless card as input?
[19:16] <iceroot> Hilikus: root is always allowed to do everything
[19:17] <iceroot> Mozzytm: if i am correct network-manager and wicd are ignoring /etc/network/interfaces
[19:17] <Mozzytm> riiiighht..... so i need a similar setup in there
[19:17] <Hilikus> iceroot: i know. is there a way (even not sudo) to give a process ONLY read access to everything?
[19:17] <iceroot> Hilikus: start it as a specific user and gave that user read-acces (chmod)
[19:18] <mikeyfbi2> im trying to burn onto a dvd disk, and i can do it once after i boot ubuntu, but if i try to do another one ... it keeps telling me to "insert a recordable dvd"
[19:18] <mikeyfbi2> but there's already one in there
[19:18] <mikeyfbi2> it doesn't recognize it for some reason
[19:18] <mikeyfbi2> works fine first time after reboot, second time ... no dice
[19:18] <Hilikus> iceroot: ???
[19:18] <Mozzytm> ok ive set up a static ip profile in wicd... lets see what happens on the windows pc
[19:19] <iceroot> Hilikus: you know what rwxr-x--- is?
[19:19] <Hilikus> icedtea: yes, this is for a system backup. i can't possibly modify every file in my system to give a backup user read access
[19:19] <Hilikus> iceroot: ^^
[19:19] <Hilikus> icedtea: sorry
[19:20] <iceroot> Hilikus: what about keeping the permissions? so everyone can only that read what he could read before the backup?
[19:20] <Icehawk78> What's the best way to compare all files in two directories to each other, to see which files don't match?
[19:20] <Mozzytm> nah... im having shed loads of bother here
[19:20] <Mozzytm> its worked for 30 seconds
[19:21] <Mozzytm> and never since
[19:21] <Hilikus> iceroot: thats taken care of
[19:21] <peleg> Hey. I am trying to burn data dvd and I keep getting ":-( unable to INQUIRY: Input/output error" -- do you know what should I do?
[19:21] <Threetimes> I just installed ubuntu on a brand new laptop, but it starts flickering at the tty1 login prompt. I can't type my password, cause half of my keystrokes don't work.
[19:21] <oCean_> Hilikus: backup software always runs with sufficient privileges to read *all* files. - so run your backup software/commands as root. What's the problem in that?
[19:22] <Threetimes> 9.10 32 bit^
[19:22] <peleg> Hey. I am trying to burn data dvd and I keep getting ":-( unable to INQUIRY: Input/output error" -- do you know what should I do?
[19:22] <peleg> I am using gnomebaker.
[19:22] <gibsonf1> Does anyone have stunnel working on gutsy?
[19:22] <cwheeler> what do I need to install to run 32 bit programs in 64 bit ubuntu?
[19:22] <iceroot> cwheeler: nothing
[19:22] <Phong_> hi
[19:23] <Mozzytm> ill just have to stick to XP for ICS for the moment
[19:23] <Phong_> can office 2007 run in ubuntu
[19:23] <Mozzytm> ill have another crack tomorrow
[19:23] <cwheeler> thanks
[19:23] <Hilikus> oCean_: i don't want to give it root WRITE access (if this is even possible). the backup script might get hacked and then it has full root access. if it runs as "read-only root" that's not the case
[19:23] <iceroot> !appdb | Phong_
[19:23] <Phong_> ok
[19:23] <iceroot> Hilikus: again, root can always do everything
[19:23] <oCean_> Hilikus: no, it just does not work that way.
[19:24] <iceroot> Hilikus: write a script using rsync and run it as root
[19:25] <Hilikus> iceroot: i know, again, it doesnt have to be root. as long as there is a way to give a user read all access without giving it write all access i would be happy. i just don't know if there is such a thing
[19:25] <Phong_> i think it does work
[19:25] <Phong_> ;)
[19:25] <iceroot> Hilikus: no
[19:25] <iceroot> Hilikus: there are files, only root can read
[19:25] <adityag> i just installed 9.10, but i get very low resolution which is 640x400 max, can any1 help pls ?
[19:25] <Hilikus> ok, got it
[19:25] <Hilikus> thanks guys
[19:26] <Izinucs> adityag: what kind of video card do you have? nvidia, ati, intel?
[19:26] <arvind_khadri> !fixres | adityag
[19:27] <adityag>  Izinucs: arvind_khadri: dont have any video card, its with the motherboard
[19:27] <arvind_khadri> adityag, read the last link the bot gave you
[19:28] <Izinucs> adityag: that just means that the card is integrated but will be one of several brands.. if you don't know what it is then you can follow the link that arvind_khadri provided through ubottu
[19:28] <adityag> arvind_khadri: i tried that, but that does not work, i installed 7.10, resolution is fine there
[19:29] <LinuX2half> Why when I insert a blank DVD-R, Brasero can't seem to detect the recordable disc
[19:29] <Izinucs> adityag: open a terminal and type ... lspci .. the resulting list will tell you what card is being used by the system.. you can also look in System>Administration>Hardware Drivers to see if there is a driver sitting there that needs to be activated.
[19:29] <strywgr> adityag, you tried changign it? system -> prefences -> display?
[19:29] <adityag>  strywgr: tried it, get a max resolution of 680x400
[19:30] <Izinucs> adityag: is it a store bought computer? if so what brand and model number?
[19:30] <adityag>  Izinucs: ok, i'll try it
[19:30] <Phong_> office 2007 work in wine wow
[19:30] <Phong_> nice
[19:30] <iceroot> Phong_: and openoffice nativ
[19:30] <Phong_> question: do i really need to install norton for ubuntu?
[19:30] <strywgr> What graphics card are you using?
[19:30]  * Izinucs slaps forehead for Microsoft's implementation of the "ribbon".. ach!
[19:30] <iceroot> Phong_: of course not
[19:31] <Phong_> ok thanksi'll do that
[19:31] <Phong_> brb
[19:31] <LinuX2half> Why Brasero can't detect my recordable disc?
[19:31] <Izinucs> LinuX2half: try k3b and see if it's the same
[19:31] <adityag>  Izinucs: its an assempled PC, P4, motherboard - MSI xxxx
[19:32] <LinuX2half> lzinucs: I'm trying to burn data in a DVD-R disc, does that applies also to the k3b application?
[19:32] <Izinucs> LinuX2half: sure
[19:32] <Threetimes> Hi, I have to install updates from the recovery console, but my network doesn't want to work...
[19:33] <Izinucs> adityag: I assume you ment assembled? if so do you know the model of the MSI board?
[19:33] <Phong_> office 2007 install fine, but not run
[19:33] <LinuX2half> lzinucs: okay I'll try
[19:33] <Phong_> hahaha
[19:33] <Threetimes> As in: Ubuntu doesn't see the (working) network
[19:33] <arvind_khadri> Izinucs, what ribbon?
[19:33] <adityag>  Izinucs: yeah, wait i'll take the manual out
[19:34] <AshishMalik> Hey ppl
[19:34] <Izinucs> arvind_khadri: Office 2007 uses a new UI for the menu structure.. it's referred to as the "ribbon".. if you're use to the other method similar to what OOo has then it's incredibly frustrating to find the functions/tools you need
[19:35] <arvind_khadri> Izinucs, ohh :) ftw!!! :P
[19:36] <AshishMalik> Can anyone tell me about any book that will help me operate on everything in linux from command line. I'm a novice and new to linux world. I love the command line
[19:36] <Izinucs> arvind_khadri: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Office_2007
[19:37] <Phong_> can anyone tell me why i can install office 2007 but can't seem to run it
[19:37] <Izinucs> Phong_: check out winehq.org or .com I forget.. they have info on running winXX programs in wine on linux
[19:38] <schultza> later
[19:38] <Izinucs> AshishMalik: google for Ubuntu Pocket Reference Guide.. it's a free pdf download that will get you started.
[19:38] <LinuX2half> Why can't I update my computer, it said that another application is running apt.
[19:38] <LinuX2half> I've already closed my terminal but it still won't update
[19:39] <trubble> help :'<
[19:39] <Izinucs> LinuX2half: do you have synaptic open? or is update manager running in the background? or do you have add/remove open..
[19:39] <adityag>  Izinucs: MSI has the following chip VIA P4M800
[19:39] <soopos> When is this server going to be online at E: Failed getting release file http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/dists/karmic/Release
[19:39] <trubble> guys i think i deleted my partition
[19:40] <gharz> guys, i'm using acer extensa 4220 and it has built in texas instrument 5-1 card reader... how do i make this work? it doesn't read memory cards?
[19:40] <soopos> The server has been done now about 30 minutes
[19:40] <LinuX2half> lzinucs: No, none of the application is open but I close the terminal when installing the k3b package, its somehow frozen. And then the update manager tells me to close an application running apt.
[19:40] <Pathero-ng> I got an acer aspire
[19:40] <guntbert> AshishMalik: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[19:41] <trubble> How would one go about recovering a missing file system?
[19:41] <LinuX2half> lzinucs: I've just restarted the update manager and then it gave me an error telling me something that's lock
[19:41] <guntbert> !tldp | AshishMalik: for deeper insights
[19:41] <Izinucs> adityag: amazon shows a S3 Graphics Unichrome driver for that board if it's the same one.. I don't know much about S3 other than it's been a pain in the backside in the past.. if you have an AGP slot on that board you could pickup a cheap Nvidia that would do you much better.. probably for under $30us
[19:41] <trubble> i need some srs tech support
[19:41] <jefinc> how do I make it so that I don't require a password everytime I want to mount a drive?
[19:41] <gharz> anyone?
[19:41] <jefinc> ***in 9.10
[19:42] <daftykins> jefinc: in what situation are you mounting drives so often?
[19:42] <adityag> Izinucs: ok thanks.....
[19:43] <jefinc> daftykins: I do a lot of IT work, throw a client's HD into an external
[19:43] <AshishMalik> /invite help
[19:43] <Izinucs> jefinc: list it in fstab so it automounts.. also there use to be a utility for mounting drives easily.. started with py<something>
[19:44] <guntbert> AshishMalik: did you look at the links I sent you?
[19:44] <gionnico> Hello!
[19:44] <gionnico> I've got an animated gif. How can I resize it with linux?
[19:44] <mikey_p> is there a simple command to open a nautilus window do a specific directory from a shell?
[19:44] <jefinc> Izinucs: thanks, will look around
[19:45] <minimec> Izinucs: jefinc: In your case, modifying the /etc/fstab will not do, as you often change the HD and each HD has it's own UUID
[19:45] <LinuX2half> Why is the system telling me that another application is running aptitude and that I need to close that program before I can update.
[19:46] <maco> LinuX2half: because of what it just said? do you ahve apt-get, dpkg, aptitude, synaptic, or the software center runnig?
[19:46] <AshishMalik> Yes I looked at them
[19:46] <LinuX2half> maco: No, none of them is running, I've closed them
[19:46] <mail2345> hey, i'm attempting to configure dbus with dpkg and i get the message "The system user `messagebus' already exists. Exiting." followed by a hang until i ctrl-c
[19:46] <AshishMalik> hey, how do i send message to a particular person in irrsi
[19:46] <LinuX2half> maco: I did run the terminal but its closed
[19:46] <maco> LinuX2half: is the thing where it automatically checks for updates running in the background right now maybe?
[19:47] <AshishMalik> i mean in irssi
[19:47] <minimec> AshishMalik: /msg nick that is a test.
[19:47] <guntbert> AshishMalik: type the nick in front of your sentence, you can use <tab> completion for nicks too
[19:47] <bastid_raZor> AshishMalik: /msg username message ...there is an #irssi channel as well
[19:48] <minimec> AshishMalik: Most people don't like to recieve private messages here ... ;)
[19:48] <LinuX2half> maco:  alright, looks like its updating now. I think that I had killed the update notifier and wait for some seconds to take effect.
[19:48] <AshishMalik> ok
[19:48] <LinuX2half> maco: But its still updating slowly.
[19:50] <gionnico> how comes, EOG doesn't show gif animations?

[19:55] <AshishMalik> Diverdude : yes
[19:55] <assad> ok
[19:55] <assad> :)
[19:55] <guntbert> Diverdude: as server or as client?
[19:55] <Pathero-ng> telnet isnt' it like tivco
[19:55] <SJr|nx> I just ran dd_rescue and there were some errors, I have the log, but how do I figure out what on disk they actually map too?
[19:55] <AshishMalik> Diverdude : both
[19:55] <fluxw0rm> Diverdude: Please consider using sshd as telnet is not very secure.
[19:57] <trubble> can i get some tech support please

[20:00] <lucky> My laptop doesn't wake from sleep or hibernate with Ubuntu.
[20:02] <MrKeuner> hello, I see in top that gnome-do application is in S mode. But the key combination to invoke gnome-do does not seem to work, what does that mean. Well in those cases I just kill the process and restart a new instance but can something else be done? What is really happening there?
[20:12] <{}> Anybody in need of help?
[20:14] <trubble> kinda
[20:14] <trubble> I deleted my partition
[20:14] <trubble> I'm using testdisk to fix it but I dunno if it will work
[20:15] <Jasonrj> I'm an Ubuntu newbie. I just installed xubuntu and wireless internet is not working. I'm not sure where to start, i've been searching online with little luck.
[20:17] <UbuN2> can try here Jasonrj https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo
[20:18] <minimec> Jasonrj: first: open a gnome-terminal and type iwconfig in it. Do yu see any wireless device?
[20:19] <mrwes> Is it me, or is Firefox getting faster and faster as of the latest update?
[20:19] <mattgyver> Hey guys, i setup a raid1 config in ubuntu back when i first setup this box, i just wanna test to make sure its working properly, can i just unplug a drive  and see if it boots?
[20:19] <Jasonrj> minimec: I see "lo no wireless extensions." and on the next line "eth0 no wireless extensions."
[20:20] <Lostinspace_46> I put this little snippet in my ~/.bashrc file to run xbindkeys at startup.  Could someone look here to see what I did wrong?  http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d25bf220a
[20:20] <mrwes> Jasonrj, have you checked System | Admin | Hardware Drivers ?
[20:20] <iceroot> mattgyver: yes, that is the job of a raid1
[20:21] <jrib> Lostinspace_46: why are you using ~/.bashrc?
[20:21] <mattgyver> iceroot, yeah i just wanted to make sure thats how i would go about testing the raid
[20:21] <jrib> !startup | Lostinspace_46
[20:21] <mattgyver> Its at a point where i kinda need to know that i set it up right ;)
[20:21] <minimec> Jasonrj: Ok. now type dmesg in the console. Look for some errors in conerning your wireless device.
[20:22] <Jasonrj> mrwes, Yes, it says "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system."
[20:22] <minimec> Jasonrj: If you can, paste.ubuntu.com us the output.
[20:22] <jrib> Lostinspace_46: and '.' is not a mysterious thing to execute things.  . is a special symlink to the current directory
[20:22] <mrwes> Jasonrj, hrmm.....type lspci at the terminal
[20:23] <mrwes> Jasonrj, look for your wireless card: 02:03.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05)
[20:23] <brummbaer> Lostinspace_46, like jrib said, the '.' is what jumps out at me.
[20:23] <mrwes> something similar to that
[20:23] <jrib> Lostinspace_46: but ~/.bashrc is not the right place for what you are doing anyway, see ubottu
[20:23] <daftykins> if i want to move a folder 'folder' into another using "mv" how can i tell it i don't care about it overwriting all the contents? it's manually updating wordpress. i can't see anything useful on the manpage for 'mv'
[20:24] <mrwes> mv -f for force
[20:24] <Lostinspace_46> jrib> because I want to learn scripting. I meant that to be ./ which I thought meant run
[20:24] <daftykins> mrwes: it still says 'directory not empty'
[20:25] <lucky> My laptop (Toshiba NB305) doesn't wake from sleep or hibernate with Ubuntu, where should i go to start trying to fix this? :/
[20:25] <brummbaer> Lostinspace_46, ./ is for running a script in current dir.
[20:25] <jrib> Lostinspace_46: it's good that you want to learn scripting, but this is not a good case for it
[20:25] <mrwes> daftykins, -t for target directory?
[20:25] <Lostinspace_46> brummbaer>  thanks
[20:25] <daftykins> mrwes: ah that seemed to throw no errors, i'll see what it did! thanks
[20:26] <Lostinspace_46> jrib> Why.. or why not?
[20:26] <mrwes> daftykins, you can always use -verbose to see what's going on
[20:26] <Jasonrj> mrwes, The only thing that seems like it is my wireless card is this: "02:04:0 Ethernet controller: Linksys, A Division of Cisco Systems [AirConn] INPROCOMM IPN 2220 Wireless LAN Adapter (rev 01)
[20:26] <daftykins> mrwes: yeah, haha actually that totally deleted my destination folder.
[20:26] <jrib> Lostinspace_46: because .bashrc gets executed everytime you start a bash shell and I assume you don't want to have xbindkeys run everytime you start a shell but instead want it to run one time (when you log in)
[20:27] <mrwes> Jasonrj, INPROCOMM IPN 2220 Wireless LAN Adapter << that's your card
[20:27] <phong_> hi guys, how to completely remove wine ?
[20:27] <Lostinspace_46> jrib> Correct
[20:27] <erUSUL> phong_: sudo aptitude purge wine
[20:27] <jrib> Lostinspace_46: so follow ubottu's instructions
[20:28] <erUSUL> phong_: then remove your wine personal dir « rm -r ~/.wine/ »
[20:28] <mrwes> Jasonrj, As far as I know, there are no linux drivers for this card, and you need to use ndiswrapper.
[20:28] <FloodBot1> NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.
[20:28]  * jrib readies his fingers
[20:28] <mrwes> !ndiswrapper | Jasonrj
[20:29]  * erUSUL looks for cover
[20:29] <Lostinspace_46> jrib> Thanks, I will try that.
[20:29] <mrwes> hrmm WTF was that?
[20:29] <Jasonrj> mrwes, thanks, checking out ndiswrapper now
[20:29] <jrib> mrwes: what was what?
[20:29] <minimec> Jasonrj: Did you check the dmesg output?
[20:29] <phong_> erusul: it keep asking to delete  1 by 1 with rm -r
[20:29] <mrwes> jrib, the floodbot notice
[20:29] <phong_> anyway tell it not to ask ?
[20:30] <jrib> mrwes: it was just letting everyone know I -R the channel
[20:30] <bastid_raZor>  phong_ rm -rf  ..add the f option
[20:30] <phong_> ok
[20:30] <erUSUL> phong_: try « rm -fr ~/.wine/ »
[20:30] <mrwes> ahh...I should supress that :)
[20:30] <Jasonrj> minimec, yes sorry, I'm a newbie and kinda lost in that... Not really sure what I'm looking at
[20:30] <EntityReborn> is there a way to install x64 from a x32 copy of the live cd (given you have a x64 copy of the iso)
[20:31] <Pingue> Hey
[20:31] <minimec> Jasonrj: Can paste.ubuntu.com the complete output of dmesg?
[20:31] <Pingue> is it possible to format ubuntu without using gparted? o.0
[20:31] <jrib> Pingue: you could use parted?
[20:32] <jmichaelx>  i recently formatted a new 2TB drive to etx4 w/indexing. i then proceeded to backup a 400GB ext3 drive to the 2TB drive. after having finished, the backup from the 400GB drive has taken up 1600GB on the 2TB drive. how could this be? what could i do to keep this backup from taking up so much room?
[20:32] <Pingue> I cant get internet on my laptop and I need to remove ubuntu cause my discs wont boot :S
[20:32] <Pingue> parted, is it installed automaticly?
[20:32] <Jasonrj> minimec, ok, hold on
[20:32] <jrib> eric_3: welcome
[20:33] <ShazbotMcNasty> Pingue, what do you mean? You need to get ubuntu off? And put what on?
[20:33] <CAPcap> I need something comparable to Dreamweaver. Suggestions?
[20:33] <eric_3> hey. I need to know which protocol is right for me. I am looking to just send instructions like locations of objects over an Ethernet connection. Can you help me choose a protocol?
[20:33] <Pingue> windows 95 >_>
[20:34] <daftykins> CAPcap: bluefish ?
[20:34] <Pingue> I'm just wondering, can I format ubuntu without internet - discs arent booting up so I cant format it through another setup..
[20:34] <Pingue> LAN Doesnt even work :S
[20:34] <guntbert> eric_3: try ##networking
[20:34] <eric_3> join ##networking
[20:34] <minimec> Jasonrj: Searched the internet a little bit. You need the ndiswrapper.
[20:35] <EntityReborn> is there a way to install x64 from a x32 copy of the live cd (given you have a x64 copy of the iso)
[20:35] <mrwes> minimec, told him that 10 minutes ago :P
[20:35] <jrib> !wifi | Jasonrj
[20:35] <mrwes> that too :)
[20:35] <ShazbotMcNasty> Pingue, just put the windows 95 CD in and it should reformat and install
[20:35] <baltadt> h
[20:36] <phong_> wine still installed
[20:36] <phong_> god
[20:36] <bastid_raZor> !install | EntityReborn check this page out and see if it helps
[20:36] <Jasonrj> minimec, ok, that is what someone else said a minute ago as well... looking into it now
[20:36] <jrib> EntityReborn: there's probably /some/ way but it's also probably not straightforward and it would be a lot easier to just burn a disc or use a flash drive with the amd64 installer
[20:36] <Pingue> it doesnt boot it ShazbotMcNasty
[20:36] <RandomUsr_> hello
[20:36] <Lostinspace_46> jrib> I looked. I know how to do that. Is there a tut to teach me how to do it  by scripting?
[20:36] <superPi> what is the command to launch the dictionary?
[20:36] <mrwes> Pingue, http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/
[20:37] <RandomUsr_> how can I change whether a program starts upon boot without using cron?
[20:37] <minimec> Jasonrj: 'They' also say, that this driver is best for the 2200 card http://media.ubuntuusers.de/forum/attachments/1774535/ipn2220_32_64_all_mod.tar.gz
[20:37] <mneptok> RandomUsr_: through SysV init or Upstart
[20:37] <RandomUsr_> I mean services and not programs....
[20:37] <RandomUsr_> mneptok, where are those located?
[20:38] <jrib> Lostinspace_46: read about xsession files I guess.  If you want to learn scripting though, I recommend you read the advanced bash scripting guide at tldp.org
[20:38] <Troutfool1> Can anyone recommend a channel for FTP Server setup?  GADMIN or command line.
[20:38] <jrib> superPi: I don't have the program but my first guess would be gnome-dict<TAB><TAB>
[20:38] <mneptok> RandomUsr_: they are integral to the system. if you have never heard of them before, there is no way i can teach you in an IRC session about how they are implemented and used. start doing some research, then come back if you have specific issues.
[20:39] <Lostinspace_46> jrib> Thanks, I'll do that.
[20:39] <Troutfool1> gnome-dict, Thanks
[20:39] <eric_3> hello i can not join ##java.
[20:39] <eric_3> can you help?
[20:39] <iceroot> eric_3: #freenode
[20:40] <eric_3> #freenode
[20:40] <LinuX2half> Why when I insert a blank disc, my computer won't recognized it?
[20:40] <jrib> eric_3: you aren't identified
[20:40] <RandomUsr_> mneptok, could have just said read the info page for upstart
[20:40] <iceroot> eric_3: /join #freenode
[20:40] <guntbert> eric_3: you need to be registered
[20:40] <pitput> hi. does anyone know how to join the mac channel?
[20:40] <eric_3> i am regestered though
[20:40] <jrib> eric_3: you aren't identified
[20:40] <iceroot> pitput: /join #nameofthechannel
[20:40] <LinuX2half> pitput: #apple or mac
[20:40] <pitput> iceroot, LinuX2half thank you guys!
[20:41] <eric_3> nickServ how do i log in
[20:42] <eric_3> NickServ ho do i log in
[20:42] <jrib> eric_3: read the page ubottu linked you to before with info about registering or ask in #freenode as others pointed out
[20:42] <LinuX2half> Does anyone know why my computer isn't able to detect the blank media disc? I'm trying to burn an iso image in the disc but somehow it failed at recognizing my disc. Since its already inserted, disk utility should be able to see the media inserted.....
[20:42] <CAPcap> Any programs that can create/edit flash?
[20:43] <Pingue> Adobe Flash cs4?
[20:43] <Pingue> CAPcap
[20:43] <CAPcap> um... doesnt run on this...
[20:43] <Troutfool1> Couldn't finad a channel called gnome-dict...Any other recommendations on a channel to discuss ProFTPD issues?  GADMIN or command line?
[20:43] <mimorsate> hi. how to make s-video output on tv have colours? video card: intel x3100, system:ubuntu karmic
[20:44] <jgcampbell300> hello. Can anyone tell me if there is a software set for linux (free) that does all that BeLarc services do ?
[20:44] <Pingue> can anyone PLEASE help me format ubuntu, without internet.. :/
[20:44] <Pingue> ?
[20:44] <LinuX2half> It seemed that no one here is available.....
[20:44] <erUSUL> Pingue: format ubuntu ?
[20:44] <Pingue> yeah
[20:45] <jrib> jgcampbell300: and what do "BeLarc services" do exactly?
[20:45] <Pingue> without gparted/parted I cant even use a .. cmd im not gona say here cause I'll get banned
[20:45] <jgcampbell300> Pingue: put in live cd and open gparted and format it
[20:45] <jrib> LinuX2half: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[20:45] <Pingue> live cd jgcampbell300?
[20:45] <boss_mc> LinuX2half: probably no-one knows the answer to your question...
[20:45] <LinuX2half> Alright, I want to ask how come brasero is unable detect my blank DVD?
[20:46] <Troutfool1> I've configured my FTP  server manually, and through GADMIN.  Starting the server, I cannot confirm that the daemon is up (plus remote FTP timesout).
[20:46] <jgcampbell300> jrib: they manage computers, networks, find security problams, from the way it reads it is an IT tool for manageing a network
[20:46] <jgcampbell300> Pingue: the cd you used to install ubuntu
[20:46] <Pingue> okay and how does that give me internet to install gparted :S
[20:47] <LinuX2half> Disk Utility should have been able to detect the blank DVD-R.
[20:47] <jgcampbell300> Pingue: put it in, boot from cd, run as live cd, open Gparted, manage the hard drives you wish to manage, reboot, take cd out and its blank
[20:47] <boss_mc> Pingue: gparted in on the liveCD
[20:47] <Casieo> I have a question about partitioning and having multi os
[20:47] <LinuX2half> My computer isn't able to detect the disc inserted
[20:47] <ponsinsun> "ivman" can't mount my filesystem. it just show a directory.
[20:47] <Dextronaught> when I open Firefox, whichever runs first (Java or Flash), only 1 of them can have sound, or else I need to restart the browser. I'm not sure if you know what I mean. This is on Karmic. Is this typical? any fix?
[20:48] <Troutfool1> No FTP Server thoughts...other channels to recommend?
[20:48] <Pingue> ill try
[20:48] <RandomUsr_> mneptok, is it possible to use a symlink in  /etc/init.d ? if so, is that bad/incorrect use of init.d
[20:48] <jgcampbell300> ok another question, I would like to manage all of the computers on my local net work, setup a vpn to two of my friends and manage there computers as well, can anyone tell me if there is software that would help-give me a gui for this
[20:49] <EntityReborn> is there a way to install x64 from a x32 copy of the live cd (given you have a x64 copy of the iso). The /installation link wasn't of much help
[20:50] <Dextronaught> when I open Firefox, whichever runs first (Java or Flash), only 1 of them can have sound, or else I need to restart the browser. I'm not sure if you know what I mean. This is on Karmic. Is this typical? any fix?
[20:50] <RandomUsr_> yo
[20:51] <boss_mc> EntityReborn: not really, you can make a liveUSB from the 64 bit ISO if needs be...
[20:51] <Dextronaught> Hi, RandomUsr_.
[20:51] <blakkheim> jgcampbell300: ssh
[20:51] <blakkheim> EntityReborn: not that i know of
[20:51] <EntityReborn> k
[20:51] <morrowyn> yellow
[20:52] <LinuX2half> Why my Blank disc isn't being recognized after being inserted.......?
[20:52] <erUSUL> LinuX2half: not even seen if you open brasero
[20:52] <morrowyn> can someone tell me if there is webbased config tool for ufw or iptables?
[20:52] <Dextronaught> LinuX2half, maybe you burned it too fast, try slow speeds.
[20:52] <jgcampbell300> ok, how about a app for visualy mapping out a network ?
[20:53] <erUSUL> !info ebox-firewall | morrowyn
[20:53] <Pingue> this live cd thing should i choose "Try ubuntu without any changes to your computer" ? :S
[20:53] <erUSUL> !ebox | morrowyn
[20:53] <Casieo> do they make mirc for linux or must i use xchat
[20:53] <Hilikus> how do i remove a daemon from starting at startup in ubuntu server?
[20:53] <boss_mc> RandomUsr_: It's fine, but remember the program has to take certain arguments (start, stop, etc)
[20:53] <morrowyn> thanks
[20:53] <Dr_Willis> Casieo:  theres dozens  of irc cliejnts out there OTHER then that pathic mIRC
[20:53] <blakkheim> Casieo: try irssi
[20:53] <blakkheim> Hilikus: aptitude install sysv-rc-conf
[20:53] <LinuX2half> No, I'm not even burning the disc, the matter is the disk being recognized.
[20:53] <guntbert> morrowyn: there is fwbuilder, but for one machine its probably got a too steep learning curve
[20:53] <jrib> Hilikus: you may use sysv-rc-conf if the daemon uses sysvinit.  If it uses upstart then see !upstart docs
[20:53] <RandomUsr_> boss_mr, samba does, so no issue there.
[20:54] <Casieo> is irssi better then xchat
[20:54] <Dr_Willis> Casieo:  most people perfer 'xchat' over 'xchat-gnome' if thats what you are using. quassle (a kde client) also has some very good features for a gui client
[20:54] <blakkheim> Casieo: depends on who you ask. i think it is :)
[20:54] <Dextronaught> Casieo, they're really different
[20:54] <Dr_Willis> Casieo:  it all depends on your needs.
[20:54] <RandomUsr_> boss_mc, guess If I want to be more efficient, then I need to learn some bash scripting
[20:54] <maco> *quassel
[20:54] <Pingue> this live cd thing should i choose "Try ubuntu without any changes to your computer" ? :S
[20:54] <maco> (spelling)
[20:54] <Dr_Willis> Casieo:  find some check their docs.. try them out
[20:54] <maco> (also the client i'm using right now)
[20:54] <Dextronaught> Casieo, irssi is all in terminal, so there's no gui
[20:54] <maco> (also, it's a qt client, not a kde client)
[20:54] <Dr_Willis> Casieo:  i  use 'weechat 0.3.0' here
[20:55] <daftykins> Pingue: if you just want to try it out, yeah. you can install from there too.
[20:55] <guntbert> Pingue: yes, thats the "live environment"
[20:55] <morrowyn> running screen with irssi is nice :)
[20:55] <blakkheim> morrowyn: through ssh, too
[20:55] <Dextronaught> it is :)
[20:55] <mkaduk> Hi, is it possible to have functional Ubuntu without Pulseshitulseaudio ?
[20:55] <morrowyn> yeah over ssh :)
[20:55] <blakkheim> mkaduk: yes
[20:55] <Dr_Willis> weechat has some feastures ive not seen in any other clients. but its Text/no gui based
[20:55] <mkaduk> blakkheim, how?
[20:55] <morrowyn> i used to do that when i was still in college
[20:55] <blakkheim> mkaduk: uninstall it, use ALSA
[20:55] <mkaduk> blakkheim, after removing it I lose volume applet last time
[20:55] <petsounds> maco, what's the different? qt is kde.
[20:55] <morrowyn> and classes were boring
[20:56] <blakkheim> mkaduk: use something else for volume then, like alsamixer
[20:56] <erUSUL> !pm
[20:56] <Hilikus> jrib: how can i find if it uses upstart or sysvinit
[20:56] <LinuX2half> erUSUL: when I open brasero, and insert the disc then wait for a few seconds before I select to burn the image to a recordable disc. But when it comes to burning the image, it said its unable to detect any removable media.
[20:56] <Casieo> do you believe xchat is a good irc client?
[20:56] <maco> petsounds: quassel was originally made not to use any kde libraries, only the qt toolkit
[20:56] <morrowyn> xchat is good
[20:56] <mkaduk> blakkheim, I wish Ubuntu not to force not functional software into working distributions
[20:56] <Dr_Willis> Hilikus:  look in /etc/init  if theres a script in there for it - its using Upstart
[20:56] <maco> petsounds: now it has compile-time options whether it uses kde libraries and kde widgets for certain things
[20:56] <morrowyn> when running a kde/gnome or whatever
[20:56] <mkaduk> blakkheim, when I google lots of ppl have this problem
[20:56] <Dr_Willis> Casieo:  I like xchat (NOT xchat-gnome)
[20:56] <blakkheim> mkaduk: i agree, but i don't use ubuntu so that doesn't concern me
[20:56] <maco> petsounds: kde is an extension of qt
[20:56] <jrib> Hilikus: assume it uses sysvinit and use sysv-rc-conf.  If it's not there, then it uses upstart
[20:56] <obiwan_> hi, please could anybody run gpg --gen-key ? i just want to see if you get the    (4) ElGamal (sign and encrypt) option , then you can cancel with ^C (ctrl+c)
[20:56] <dani> hello
[20:57] <Dr_Willis> Casieo:  it works well enough for most people and ir proberly the more common irc client used
[20:57] <maco> petsounds: in lucid, you will be able to choose between installing the kde version or the qt version, but in kamic, it's pure qt
[20:57] <obiwan_> hi dani
[20:57] <Casieo> how can i find out if i have xchat or xchat gnome
[20:57] <Hilikus> Dr_Willis: thanks!
[20:57] <morrowyn> sudo apt-get install xchat ?
[20:57] <blakkheim> Casieo: dpkg --get-selections | grep xchat
[20:57] <Casieo> thats what i did
[20:57] <obiwan_> Casieo: dpkg -l xchat
[20:57] <morrowyn> you prolly have the regular one
[20:57] <Dextronaught> how do I know whether I'm using alsa-base, esound, jack, etc.
[20:57] <Casieo> sudo apt-get xchat
[20:57] <CAPcap> Does bluefish have a design view or just a code view?
[20:57] <mkaduk> blakkheim, then you dont know that normal gnome volume applet was removed in favor of stupid shity pulseaudio volume applet
[20:57] <Dextronaught> I do have to unistall each one and install the next, right?
[20:57] <Dr_Willis> xchat-gnome is still instqalled by default isent it? (everyone seems to hate xchat-gnome)
[20:57] <mkaduk> blakkheim, so they force you to use buggy software
[20:57] <Guest12039> im having trouble creating a wifi network on ubuntu. im using wicd
[20:58] <petsounds> maco, yeah i can't wait to try kubuntu LTS. i hope they fix the problem with plasma-desktop.
[20:58] <guntbert> obiwan_: here it is only 1 2 5
[20:58] <Casieo> blakkheim what will that do
[20:58] <blakkheim> mkaduk: sucks :(
[20:58] <maco> petsounds: which would that be?
[20:58] <EastDallas> Casieo: you could just type xchat in a terminal window...It won't launch if you don't have it.
[20:58] <mkaduk> I cant wait for next Ubuntu without Pulseaudio crap
[20:58] <mkaduk> ;/
[20:58] <blakkheim> Casieo: search your list of installed packages for "xchat" and return the result
[20:58] <VCoolio> obiwan_: as guntbert ^^ 1.4.9 on karmic
[20:58] <mkaduk> I hope they will remove it
[20:58] <mkaduk> as fast as possible
[20:58] <obiwan_> guntbert: that's what i get, at the gpg handbook http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual.html#AEN26 you read that you should get (4) option :(
[20:59] <CAPcap> Does bluefish have a design view or just a code view?
[20:59] <Dextronaught> any help?
[20:59] <obiwan_> yeah VCoolio but i need (4) ;( what can i do?
[20:59] <Casieo> what is the terminal command for search
[20:59] <guntbert> obiwan_: but (1) is DSA and Elgamal (default)
[20:59] <blakkheim> Casieo: aptitude search $string
[20:59] <Guest92143> sshfs takes a long long time and does nothing - any firewall setting to change?
[20:59] <petsounds> maco, plasma-desktop won't run on startup i always have to run it manually.
[20:59] <mimorsate> my s-video output on tv is very fade, almost black and white. i suppose i have to change output to pal from ntsc, but don't know how. how?
[20:59] <Dextronaught> how do I know whether I'm using alsa-base, esound, jack, etc.?
[20:59] <Dextronaught> I do have to unistall each one and install the next, right?
[20:59] <obiwan_> guntbert: yeah, but i want only one key to sign everything, not one to sign online docs and one for encrypting
[20:59] <blakkheim> Guest92143: does normal sftp take a long time too?
[21:00] <Guest92143> i did not test it blakkheim how to test it?
[21:00] <blakkheim> Guest92143: .. use sftp on the ssh server
[21:00] <Guest92143> it does nothing too blakkheim
[21:00] <Dr_Willis> mimorsate:  any time ive had ntsc instead of pal (or visa versa) it gave no picture not faded colors.  Only time ive seen faded/lacking colors is if the cable/pins/ports are bad.
[21:00] <abumaia> if I have an encrypted home directory, and I copy /home to another drive while I am logged in, will the copy still be encrypted?
[21:00] <mattmatteh_> is it possible to boot the livecd image from an existing filesystem using grub ?
[21:01] <Dr_Willis> mattmatteh_: Grub2 CAN boot an iso file. Yes.
[21:01] <erUSUL> abumaia: do not think so
[21:01] <Dr_Willis> mattmatteh_:  if the disrto supports the feature
[21:01] <blakkheim> Guest92143: sshfs is just a wrapper for sftp that uses fuse to mount the remote sftp directory as a local one, they're the same thing basically
[21:01] <guntbert> obiwan_: have you seen http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/02/beginners-guide-for-gnupg-in-ubuntu.html ?
[21:01] <peturrR> Hello, i'm having problems with pptp vpn. I can only connect to the vpn server when i'm connected to the internet via wireless network, but not when using an ethernet cable.
[21:01] <peturrR> I don't see the diffrence...
[21:02] <bastid_raZor> is there an alternative to SilverLight?
[21:02] <maco> petsounds: uh thats odd. i dont have that problem
[21:02] <Dextronaught> how do I know whether I'm using alsa-base, esound, jack, etc.?
[21:02] <Dextronaught> I do have to unistall each one and install the next, right?
[21:02] <guntbert> abumaia: no, you copy the decrypted files
[21:02] <peturrR> maco: you ment that for me?
[21:02] <daftykins> bastid_raZor: it's called moonlight, the open source ver for Linux afaik
[21:02] <CAPcap> Does bluefish have a design view or just a code view?
[21:02] <abumaia> I'm looking to reinstall to be rid of the encryption, it caused some things to stop working for me.  I'm hopeful that I can copy the /home folder into the new install and have them available
[21:02] <mkaduk> Is there an alternative for Ubuntu for volume control applet ?
[21:02] <Guest92143> blakkheim, nothing works
[21:02] <maco> peturrR: no
[21:02] <mattmatteh_> Dr_Willis, i have grub 1.97 in stalled, and i have supergrub cd, but not sure which version
[21:02] <mkaduk> not the one provided by PA
[21:02] <Casieo> blakkheim i   xchat                                                  - IRC client for X similar to AmIRC

[21:03] <obiwan_> guntbert: nope, i'll take a look, maybe it explains how to make a single dsa 4096 key, cause the gpg implementation at karmic won't let me do it :(
[21:03] <bastid_raZor> daftykins: thanks, i'll see how well it works with this site.
[21:03] <Dextronaught> :O
[21:03] <Guest12039> what is the best wireless manager for ubuntu?
[21:03] <Dr_Willis> mattmatteh_:  the old grub can NOT boot iso files. Only the new grub2  whatever one is the default on 9.10 can.  I think the version you see at boot is 1.97 beta 4 or somthing like that
[21:03] <jacob3> What tools can be used to extract information from iptables logs and make pretty output? I would like the following displayed in a GUI or webbrowser: A list of unique source and destination ip addresses of all logged packets. The amount of upstream and downstream info(in bytes) sent to each ipaddress. A whois lookup of all ipaddresses that show up in logs.
[21:03] <mkaduk> Guest12039, gnome-network-manager
[21:03] <blakkheim> Guest12039: i like the ncurses version of wicd personally
[21:03] <mkaduk> Guest12039, or network-manager
[21:03] <Dr_Willis> Guest12039:  network manager works for me.. wicd has also worked.
[21:03] <Casieo> so does that mean i have gnome xchat
[21:03] <Dr_Willis> !info logwatch | jacob3
[21:04] <obiwan_> networkmanager works good Guest12039, it's a front end for some apps like wireless tools, dhpc, and wpa_supplicant
[21:04] <nysosym> hi there, which module controlls the gyro/motion/accelerometer on a macbook?
[21:04] <Dr_Willis> jacob3:  that tool might do it.. might not..  its a handy tool to learn about in any case
[21:04] <mattmatteh_> Dr_Willis, thanks, ill read up and try it
[21:04] <Casieo> blakkheim so does that mean i have xchat gnome
[21:04] <Guest12039> kewl thanks
[21:04] <Dr_Willis> mattmatteh_:  i got some links at http://delicious/dr_willis in my tagged sites on grub2 you may want to check out
[21:05] <Dr_Willis> Casieo:  unless you installed 'xchat'  then yes... you have xchat-gnome
[21:05] <Dr_Willis> !info xchat-gnome
[21:05] <Dr_Willis> !info xchat
[21:05] <Casieo> blakkheim i did the command sudo apt-get xchat
[21:05] <Dr_Willis> Casieo:  do 'sudo apt-get install xchat' to install xchat.
[21:06] <mattmatteh_> Dr_Willis, search grub on that ?
[21:06] <Casieo> dr_willis ok i will
[21:06] <Guest92143> blakkheim, what could i do?
[21:06] <Dr_Willis> mattmatteh_:  yea i got a grub2 tag i think
[21:06] <Dr_Willis> mattmatteh_:  along with my 100+ other linux tags :)
[21:06] <abumaia> is there an option during install to put /home in its own partition?
[21:07] <Casieo> dr_willis i have the newest version so i must have xchat
[21:07] <nysosym> hi there, which module controlls the gyro/motion/accelerometer on a macbook?
[21:07] <erUSUL> abumaia: in advanced paritioning you can lay out paritions as you see fit
[21:07] <mattmatteh_> Dr_Willis, ok.. ill look later, about to step away
[21:07] <mattmatteh_> thanks
[21:07] <abumaia> how much space does the os need without /home?
[21:07] <nate__> hey guys i just did a fresh install of 9.10 and now im getting a grub error 15 message...ive looked on google and everything says to boot off live  cd and open a terminal and type in sudo grub...but mine is saying command not found???
[21:07] <nate__> can anybody help?
[21:07] <Alesha> Hello guys, can you advice me irc client for ubuntu?
[21:08] <blakkheim> Alesha: irssi
[21:08] <Dr_Willis> abumaia:  ive used less then 5gb.. anything smaller may be a bit tight.
[21:08] <guntbert> !irc | Alesha
[21:08] <Z3rR> this one
[21:08] <morrowyn> nate__ try grub instead, you might be root already
[21:08] <abumaia> Dr_Willis:  would that interfere with updates?
[21:08] <Dr_Willis> abumaia:  you can proberly get by with less.. but the cache and other dirs can start filling up the space
[21:08] <Alesha> lets see
[21:08] <bastid_raZor> daftykins: sadly this site stills wants a silverlight install :\
[21:08] <Dr_Willis> abumaia:  that will be the issue..  apt likes to cache stuff
[21:08] <Spreadsheet_> I autoscroll in ff on reddit. It becomes grey and freezes temporarily.
[21:08] <nate__> :) yeah that worked and now its saying grub is not installed..lol
[21:08] <Spreadsheet_> Has this happened to anyone else?
[21:09] <Spreadsheet_> Autoscrolling has always caused problems for me
[21:09] <abumaia> well, I have a 150gb drive, so I think I'll have room ^_^
[21:09] <Spreadsheet_> Also, empathy doesn't let me Ctrl-C copy
[21:09] <Casieo> thx for your help everyone
[21:09] <morrowyn> that explains your error nate__
[21:09] <Z3rR> hello i have an question where can i find good themes for ubuntu? i've just started..
[21:09] <daftykins> bastid_raZor: what one is it? are you sure there's no alternative? i do hate that stupid plugin.
[21:10] <jenkinbr> what's up with F9 dimming the screen? How do I disable this?
[21:10] <guntbert> !themes | Z3rR
[21:10] <LinuX2half> now I k3b can't detect my Blank DVD
[21:10] <erUSUL> abumaia: i have 15 GiB /root and that is plenty
[21:10] <Z3rR> tanx:D
[21:10] <Dr_Willis> jenkinbr:  thats to show the widgits - its a feature of compiz that emulates a feature on teh mac
[21:10] <Dr_Willis> !ccsm | jenkinbr
[21:10] <Hans_Henrik> can a WPA-pass contain any byte? (like from 0x00 to 0xFF?)
[21:10] <jenkinbr> Dr_Willis, aw, so I need to get rid of it in compiz-config settings manager
[21:10] <bastid_raZor> daftykins: ncaa.com i'm trying to listen to a game. moonlight installed correctly and is listed in about:plugins
[21:11] <abumaia> so during install, I use advanced partitioning, it will let me specify that /home goes in a specific partition?
[21:11] <Dr_Willis> jenkinbr:  its the 'widgit-layer' setting
[21:11] <morrowyn> nate__ try googling on installing grub from your live-cd or something
[21:11] <Dr_Willis> jenkinbr:  in ccsm
[21:11] <jenkinbr> poof, gone
[21:11] <morrowyn> can't help you with that i'm afraid, never done that myself
[21:11] <jenkinbr> thanks
[21:11] <EntityReborn> !compiz
[21:11] <erUSUL> abumaia: yes you create the paritions. then you specify the mount point "/" for root "/home" for home
[21:12] <Dr_Willis> jenkinbr:  but widgits are soooo imporntant! apple even added a special button to their new mice just to show them! :P
[21:12] <jenkinbr> :P
[21:12] <daftykins> bastid_raZor: sorry no idea then.
[21:12] <LinuX2half> Why my computer can't detect the blank DVD
[21:12] <bastid_raZor> daftykins: yeah, thanks for the effort.
[21:12] <abumaia> thanks ^_^
[21:12] <erUSUL> abumaia: some people put boot in its own partition.. on server is good to have /var separated as well etc...
[21:12] <GSF1200S> what flash is included with ubuntu 9.10 64 bit?
[21:12] <LinuX2half> Yes, its blank but it suppose to have an reaction that a DISC is inserted
[21:13] <jenkinbr> Dr_Willis, If I want widgets, I'll remap them, but for now I don't use them, so I disabled that plugin :)
[21:13] <abumaia> I'm still pretty new to all this, don't want to get too fancy just yet ^_^
[21:13] <daftykins> GSF1200S: none as default. you can install gnash, swfdec or adobe's own - which i believe is still alpha/beta
[21:13] <GSF1200S> it seems like its still using a wrapper and its unstable as hell.. Arch Linux used the alpha which worked great
[21:14] <joab> Two of my external usb drives are mounted as root while the rest are mounted as my user. How can I make them mount as my user? I'm not doing anything different that I know of.
[21:14] <GSF1200S> daftykins: i installed ubuntu restricted extras.. what does that put in?
[21:14] <zagabar> Anyone here who has gotten wallpaper-tray to work in 9.10+
[21:14] <zagabar> ?
[21:14] <daftykins> GSF1200S: not sure off hand. may've installed gnash or the nasty iced tea plugin. check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[21:14] <mladen_bg88> hi, i just installed ubuntu.. but i didn't install loader, so now i can't see ubuntu in my win7 loader?
[21:14] <daftykins> !grub2 | mladen_bg88
[21:14] <jacob3> Dr_Willis: I looked into logwatch, and it looks quite useful. Thanks.
[21:15] <mimorsate> how to check if the output is pal or ntsc on s-video in Karmic?
[21:15] <MikeChelen> my bluetooth icon is greyed out, the preferences say "bluetooth disabled," and clicking "turn on bluetooth" doesn't do anything
[21:15] <daftykins> mimorsate: it's probably in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file if you just booted an ubuntu computer plugged into a TV
[21:15] <neXyon> mkaduk: pulse discussion running here? xD
[21:16] <daftykins> !ask | neXyon
[21:16] <mkaduk> neXyon, yes remove it from Ubuntu
[21:16] <mkaduk> neXyon, its a must
[21:17] <duffer> Hi guys, I am trying to install skyliveng from packages.medianix.net. i have added the repositories, but how do i import the keyfile? I do gpg --search<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and a key is found, but thats it, what should i do next. Running Karmic Koala
[21:17] <mladen_bg88> i installed karmic, but i didn't install loader, so now i can't see ubuntu in my win7 loader?
[21:17] <neXyon> mkaduk: well, I'm +1 for that, but I'm only a developer from an application that gets loads of bug reports concerning pulse problems :-(
[21:17] <Wilthril> hi all
[21:17] <Streetveiter> #Verdun
[21:18] <abumaia> mladen: I'm not sure, but I think you needed to install GRUB, which would load both ubuntu and win7
[21:18] <Wilthril> i have a very big issue with an external hard drive formatted in ext3
[21:18] <EntityReborn> eh
[21:18] <Wilthril> this morning I had this in my syslog http://pastebin.com/d2572c2a6 so I did a filesystem check with GParted, then I got multiple corrupted files in lost+found, so I tried to run e2fsck then I got http://pastebin.com/d2572c2a6
[21:18] <EntityReborn> my gnome panels just disappeared
[21:18] <Wilthril> is there a way to recover my data? thanks :)
[21:19] <MikeChelen> my bluetooth preferences say "bluetooth disabled," and clicking "turn on bluetooth" doesn't do anything?
[21:19] <ionel> hello
[21:19] <guntbert> !resetpanel | EntityReborn
[21:19] <mladen_bg88> abumaia: well.. is there any other way, to load it via win7 loader?
[21:19] <Izinucs> Wilthril: could be a bad partition table.. I don't know how to fix it though
[21:19] <nate__> i installed it but now when i do "find /boot/grub/stage1 it says file not found.
[21:19] <Wilthril> Izinucs: it was working perfectly fine for almost a year
[21:19] <abumaia> mladen: I don't know, I'm still new to this myself.
[21:20] <Wilthril> kinda weird it becomes completely corrupt in a night...
[21:20] <Izinucs> Wilthril: I had that happen to one of my drives.. there is a tool in the repos that helped me recover it.. but I can't remember the name of it.
[21:21] <Wilthril> Izinucs: someone told me to install testdisk... I'm trying it :)
[21:21] <Izinucs> Wilthril: that might be it
[21:21] <macer_> net
[21:21] <mladen_bg88> please someone, i really can't find a way to boot karmic, can't i simply add it to win7 loader?
[21:21] <zagabar> What would you suggest to use as a random wallpaper changer in gnome ubuntu 9.10 ?
[21:21] <slon_> \join #empathy
[21:21] <duffer> Wilthril: if its a sector error you could run seatools or other HD manufacturers utility http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/downloads/seatools
[21:22] <Izinucs> mladen_bg88: so you installed but didn't install grub? is that right?
[21:22] <Wilthril> ok it's a hitachi hard drive...
[21:22] <mladen_bg88> yes, i unchecked option install loader i thought it would be available in win loade
[21:23] <Izinucs> mladen_bg88: you thought wrong.. there was no way for the windows boot loader to know that ubuntu had been installed.. you have to manually do it. ##windows might help with that.. however with the live cd you can install grub and be done with it.
[21:23] <MikeChelen> my bluetooth preferences say "bluetooth disabled," but clicking "turn on bluetooth" doesn't do anything. maybe the usb bluetooth is not compatible with linux?
[21:24] <duffer> wilthril: http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm
[21:24] <mladen_bg88> izinucs so.. i have live cd(karmic live on usb) so how to install grub ?
[21:24] <Izinucs> !grub2 | mladen_bg88
[21:24] <mladen_bg88> ok, i will thank you very much
[21:25] <mkanyicy> i cannot connect to mysql, i get this error "ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)"
[21:25] <Wilthril> duffer: thanks a lot, but so far i'll stick with general unix programs
[21:25] <francesco_> k
[21:25] <Wilthril> i still hope e2fsck didn't corrupt anything...
[21:25] <Izinucs> mladen_bg88: if that link doesn't help then if you don't have any data yet in ubuntu simply go through the install process again and let it do it's thing when it comes to the boot loader.. grub will recognize windows and provide an option in the menu for booting between the two.
[21:25] <EntityReborn> ok
[21:26] <duffer> wilthril: no bother
[21:26] <EntityReborn> am having a problem with the compiz settings
[21:26] <EntityReborn> montel_, weren't you klined?
[21:26] <mkanyicy> i cannot connect to mysql, i get this error "ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)"
[21:26] <montel_> EntityReborn: yup. I was un-klined also

[21:27] <EntityReborn> anyway, mousing over my virtual desktop icons in my bottom panel shows all four are being treated as "workspace 1"
[21:28] <EntityReborn> this is while desktop effects are enabled
[21:28] <EntityReborn> is there any fix to this?
[21:28] <Izinucs> EntityReborn: can you change desktops?
[21:28] <Dr_Willis> EntityReborn:  mine as also all named workspace1 -  but they work
[21:28] <EntityReborn> basicaly, this results in not being able to drag windows from one workspace to another
[21:28] <EntityReborn> Izinucs, yes, I can
[21:28] <jMyles> I want to have the same users / groups across several computers in a network - what is this called?
[21:28] <EntityReborn> Dr_Willis, works, but no dragndrop
[21:29] <Izinucs> EntityReborn: then not to worry.. ccsm controls the number of desktops
[21:29] <Dr_Willis> EntityReborn:  if you mean dragging windows to the sides and going to the next desktkp- theres a different ccsm seting just for that
[21:29] <del_diablo> What is the source of the ralink 2860 drivers? Where can I download them?
[21:29] <EntityReborn> Izinucs, correct, but I do appreciate dragndrop from the taskbar to those icons
[21:29] <Izinucs> EntityReborn: and that doesn't work?
[21:29] <EntityReborn> not while effects are enabled
[21:30] <EntityReborn> if i disable effects, it works no problem
[21:30] <Dr_Willis> EntityReborn:  i dont recall ever seeing that work.. never even tried it. :)  must be a featurte metacity has that compiz dosent
[21:30] <EntityReborn> Dr_Willis, ok.
[21:30] <Dr_Willis> EntityReborn:   Yep. Metacity has the feature. compiz dont.
[21:30] <Izinucs> EntityReborn: might be a setting in ccsm you could turn on.. might ask in #ubuntu-effects which takes you to #compiz I think
[21:31] <EntityReborn> Anyway, it's a nice feature, and I had thought it was a bug
[21:31] <EntityReborn> Izinucs, will do
[21:31] <EntityReborn> thanks guys
[21:32] <Dr_Willis> I find that with my 2 wide screen monitors.. I dont use Multi-desktops near as much
[21:33] <MrKeuner> hello, I see in top that gnome-do application is in S mode. But the key combination to invoke gnome-do does not seem to work, what does that mean. Well in those cases I just kill the process and restart a new instance but can something else be done? What is really happening there?
[21:33] <Izinucs> Dr_Willis: I find with a 23" monitor it's pretty much the same :)
[21:33] <EntityReborn> Dr_Willis, well, I use a laptop, so more monitors aren't a possibility
[21:33] <Dr_Willis> Izinucs:  been meaning to upgrade. got a 21 and a 19 now.. :) want to get 2 that are the same size at least.
[21:33] <EntityReborn> also, I run a 15.4" widescreen :P
[21:34] <Dr_Willis> Too bad my card cant do dual monitors AND the tv out at the same time
[21:34]  * Dr_Willis invents lcd monitors that snap together like Legos.
[21:34] <Izinucs> Dr_Willis: prices have been pretty incredable lately.. I got emailed an add from staples for a 22" @ $99  .. don't know if they had any in stock though.. I had just bought my 23"
[21:35] <Dr_Willis> Izinucs:  yep. been watching for sales also. but its hard to justify just replaceing  one at this time
[21:35] <daftykins> Izinucs: those super cheap ones are often VGA only. i draw the line at that ^_^
[21:35] <mattgyver> Is there a way to configure my keyboards media player buttons to do actions in vlc, like play next track and stuff?
[21:35] <EntityReborn> If either of you guys don't need one, I'll take it :P
[21:35] <GSF1200S> any idea why cron.hourly isnt running hourly? I have a simple script set to backup using rsync and it runs fine when I invoke it.. But, it never runs when its placed in /etc/cron.hourly
[21:35] <Izinucs> Dr_Willis: one of the problems with big monitors is the speed of the mouse.. you have to increase it so you don't wear out your arm/thumb etc..
[21:36] <furicle> \furicle wonders what the resolution of a Lego monitor would be -
[21:36] <EntityReborn> Izinucs, lol
[21:36] <furicle> @GSF1200S what's /etc/crontab say?
[21:37]  * Izinucs goes outside to replace break pads
[21:37] <GSF1200S> furicle: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d29dd47ac
[21:37] <EntityReborn> Thanks guys
[21:38] <EntityReborn> I had come in here earlier with this problem, and didn't get this far.
[21:38] <jMyles> I have a LAN, and I want to have the same users / groups across several ubuntu machines, one of which is running server - how can I do this?
[21:39] <lasivian> my GF wants a Tetris clone for Gnome that she can play with a gamepad, any chance of that? I have a working gamepad on the system, but I don;t know how to make it work in Gnome
[21:40] <Dr_Willis> lasivian:  you could always use mame and the actual arcade tetris roms. it can do gwme pads.. not sure about other tetris games/
[21:40] <Dr_Willis> lasivian:  i seem to recall some keypad program that could map any keys to gamepads also. so most any game coukld work with that
[21:40] <RxDx> how can i run codeblocks with sudo privileges?
[21:40] <RxDx> sudo codeblocks isnt working
[21:40] <michaeldouglas30> Lasivian - Try searching for SNES in your package manager
[21:40] <lasivian> thanks
[21:40] <Dr_Willis> !gksudo | RxDx
[21:41] <GSF1200S> furicle: the script works perfect as it should, and running "sudo sh rsync.sh" starts the script and it prints out relevant info. However, it doesnt run at all in cron
[21:41] <Dr_Willis> lasivian:  zsnes or the other snes emulators are good also for classic gaming
[21:41] <GSF1200S> same script worked fine in Arch.. Ubuntu is frustrating me...
[21:41] <RxDx> thanks Dr_Willis
[21:41] <gui7> if i had a session in putty executing (quite a lengthy) command and my router at home disconnected, would the remote server keep executing it?
[21:41] <furicle> @GSF1200S That looks ok at a glance,  Is anacron installed? (aptitude show anacron or which anacron)
[21:41] <jellow> how can i see all ips on my network , I have two routers each claiming <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[21:42] <Dr_Willis> gui7:  such events are the reason programs like 'screen' are sooo handy.  I dont use cron for anything else (ive never heard of anacron before)
[21:42] <gui7> Dr_Willis, i guess ill have to start it all over using screen -- ive gotta learn screen
[21:43] <Dr_Willis> gui7: It may depend on what it was doing..
[21:43] <Dr_Willis> gui7:  theres also that byubo screen tweaked variant in the repos. its handy
[21:43] <gui7> Dr_Willis, tar and then piping that into netcat
[21:43] <furicle> If anacron is installed then it is responsible for running it - that's why the OR test in the crontab
[21:43] <Dr_Willis> gui7:  would you trust the data now that it has a possibility of being bad.. is the question
[21:44] <Dr_Willis> gui7:  backing up a filesystem or somtning?
[21:44] <gui7> Dr_Willis, nah i wouldnt trust it now. backing up /home lol
[21:44] <GSF1200S> furicle: hmmm.. well, I dont want to waste your time- Ill try searching for info on it and see what I come up with.. thank you
[21:44] <furicle> I've had cases of anacron hanging on other jobs and not getting to mine.  Is it hung now? (see it in ps auxwww?)
[21:44] <Dr_Willis> gui7:  you might want to look into  fsarchiver, or 'unison'
[21:45] <jellow> michaeldouglas30: Ok will do thanks
[21:45] <furicle> To rule an anacron issue out, just stick it directly in /etc/crontab without the call to anacron first and see if that's the issue
[21:45] <Jowi> hi all
[21:45] <gui7> Dr_Willis, im fine with what i ahve
[21:46] <Dr_Willis> gui7:  whatever then.. with other tools.. you wouldent have to redo everytjhing  at least.. just whats changed.. good luck
[21:46] <Dr_Willis> gui7:  byobu is the tweaked screen tool also.. try it out
[21:46] <GSF1200S> furicle: anacron isnt listed through ps.. stick the line from the script in crontab? when does it run?
[21:47] <livingdaylight> can someone tell me how i move a bunch of .jpg's from 1 folder to another?
[21:47] <gui7> Dr_Willis, i seriously cant understand how to switch windows/screen from the man page
[21:47] <Dr_Willis> livingdaylight:  mv *.jpg  /path/to/otherplace
[21:48] <Dr_Willis> gui7:  ctrl-a then 'n' for next screen - after you make one with 'ctrl-a n'
[21:48] <livingdaylight> Dr_Willis,
[21:48] <livingdaylight> thx
[21:48] <Dr_Willis> gui7:  that buybo variant has those commands maped to F2 F3 and F4
[21:48] <Dr_Willis> gui7:  you use ctrl-a SOMTHING for almost every 'screen' command
[21:49] <Hilikus> how do i load a file with bash variables and their values so that a script can use those values?
[21:49] <RxDx> please, when I run a program in codeblocks it denies permission, why?
[21:49] <Dr_Willis> Hilikus:  you 'source' the file
[21:49] <guntbert> Dr_Willis: make a new one is actually ctrl-a c
[21:49] <Dr_Willis> Hilikus:  'source whateverconfig.cfg'  or '. whateverconfig.cfg'
[21:49] <Dr_Willis> guntbert:  yea. :) logical :)
[21:49] <Hilikus> Dr_Willis: and the .cfg should be of the form of a regular variable set?     var1=value    ?
[21:50] <Dr_Willis> Hilikus:  thats how its done in most cases ive seen
[21:50] <Hilikus> Dr_Willis: thanks!
[21:50] <livingdaylight> Dr_Willis, seems using gui cut 'n paste is a lot quicker. Is command line overrated?
[21:50] <Dr_Willis> livingdaylight:   what if you wanted to move ONLY ones that began with A, or Ab  or xomthing..
[21:50] <Dr_Willis> livingdaylight:  i find GUI's are overrated
[21:50] <Ponti> hello all
[21:50] <furicle> man 5 crontab will give you that info - and look at the crontab you already have to see how it works. Basically it's minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week, user to run as, command to run.  Make sense?
[21:50] <Dr_Willis> livingdaylight:  or only ones you made on a set day a week ago...
[21:50] <livingdaylight> Dr_Willis, lol touche
[21:51] <Dr_Willis> livingdaylight:  or use 'mc' in the terminal if you want.
[21:51] <furicle> An * means all of them,
[21:51] <Dr_Willis> !info mc | livingdaylight
[21:51] <Ponti> i've got a problem with grub2, canb anyone help me please
[21:52] <Hilikus> Dr_Willis: do i need the shebang in the config file?
[21:52] <Dr_Willis> Hilikus:  youa re 'sourceing' the config so no..  you are Not executing it..
[21:52] <furicle> @GSF1200S Just to be clear - stick the call to the script in crontab itself - e.g. 7 7 * * * root /usr/local/bin/myAwesomeScript will run the script at 7:07 am every day as root
[21:52] <Dr_Willis> Hilikus:  your script is reading and running the commands.
[21:52] <Hilikus> makes sense
[21:53] <GSF1200S> furicle: ok, ill try that
[21:54] <gui7> what would i use to create a new screen?
[21:54] <guntbert> gui7: ctrl-a c
[21:54] <gui7> where c is the command i want to execute?
[21:54] <discoteka> How do you open/read/decode a smime.p7m file? ? I converted it from a winmail.dat file and now I am stuck!
[21:55] <Dr_Willis> gui7:  the c key or n key or somthing like that
[21:55] <gui7> guntbert, i mean what do i type in the terminal?
[21:55] <guntbert> gui7: no, its the letter c
[21:55] <Dr_Willis> Hit Ctrl-a   THEN hit the c key. :)
[21:55] <Dr_Willis> emacs uses a similer type method I recall.
[21:55] <MadGhost> Hi all
[21:56] <gui7> Dr_Willis, guntbert, don't i have to execute screen or something first?
[21:56] <Dr_Willis> gui7:  well of course you have to RUN 'screen' first
[21:56] <MadGhost> Anybody can help me with my NetBook Acer aspire One and WiFi ???? Ubuntu 8.10
[21:56] <Dr_Willis> gui7:  you can set up screen to be your default shell also some how.
[21:57] <zagabar> Odd, my terminal got transparent in the wrong way. It is supposed to be transparent and show the desktop image right? It shows the windows behind it for me. :/
[21:57] <Dr_Willis> MadGhost:  wireless works for me on my AAO. i did have some odd issue where if you use the switch and turn it off.. it dont want to come back on. Had to reboot.
[21:57] <Dr_Willis> zagabar:  thats 'true' transparancey  vs 'fake' (where it just shoes the wallpaper image)
[21:58] <MadGhost> on command iwlist scan. Ubuntu ask me: wlan1 Interface doesn't support scanning: network is down
[21:58] <zagabar> Dr_Willis: But I didn't change that setting afaik. :S Where can I set it to false?
[21:58] <MadGhost> What is it?
[21:58] <furicle> @MadGhost works on this AAo right here ok in 9.04 and 9.10 - IIRC in 8.04 I installed backports to make the light work,
[21:58] <GSF1200S> furicle: 15 57 * * * root /etc/cron.hourly/rsync.sh is what I put in crontab- it didnt work
[21:58] <jiohdi> I am getting dependancies not met, you might want to run apt-get -f install...  when I do it says errors returned... how to get it out of this loop?
[21:58] <GSF1200S> i did 15 57 to be 3:57pm
[21:58] <Dr_Willis> zagabar:  compiz has a feature to make any window partitally transparent. or tjhe termial may have the settigns in its configs
[21:59] <darthanubis> amazing, I got pulseaduio running with oss4!
[21:59] <rascal999> can't browse web on vpn. Usually can and can ping vpn server ip. Have set up ip tables to masquerade on server. Any ideas?
[21:59] <MadGhost> furicle> that is you recommending for me do upgrade to 9.x ?
[21:59] <furicle> wait a minute - did you you say you ran it sudo sh rsync.sh ?  e.g. sudo rsync.sh doesn't work either?
[21:59] <Frederickrabbit> my six year old is using Ubuntu
[21:59] <meganerd> GSF1200S: did you make the script executable and did you put it in the crontab for a user that has permission to do what the script does?
[22:00] <mimorsate> i would like to see if the type of tv output is pal or ntsc. i plugged the cable, rebooted, found the xorg.0.log. what should i look for in it?
[22:00] <MadGhost> Just how I can UP my WiFi device?
[22:00] <MadGhost> because it's down now :(
[22:00] <furicle> @MadGhost - that's up to you - just saying 9.10 for me has been the best for my Aspire One
[22:00] <meganerd> MadGhost: sudo ip link set wlan0 up
[22:00] <meganerd> assuming wlan0 is your wifi device
[22:01] <meganerd> 9.10 works well on all of my laptops/netbooks
[22:01] <zagabar> Dr_Willis: That solved it, thanks
[22:01] <gui7> Dr_Willis, i ran screen, then i typed in my comamnds, then i exited my putty session, now i've reconnected and its not doign anything
[22:01] <GSF1200S> I made the script executable, and the user is root as it is located in a root directory (/etc).. let me redo this.. I feel I might be an ass
[22:01] <meganerd> Thinkpad x41, Latitude e6400, and Aspire One
[22:01] <Frederickrabbit> Works awesome on me Eee 900HA
[22:02] <meganerd> GSF1200S: the location does not matter
[22:02] <meganerd> GSF1200S: sudo crontab -e
[22:03] <furicle> @meganerd I had him working in /etc/crontab - better not confuse him with roots crontab file - diff syntax
[22:03] <LogicFan> hi, can someone tell me where brasero stores its temp image when making 1:1 copies?
[22:03] <GSF1200S> I typed that in and it lead me to nano inside some temp crontab file..
[22:04] <guntbert> GSF1200S: that is the crontab for the user you are working as
[22:04] <furicle> @GSF1200S each user has a crontab file - you can edit those with crontab -e - thus sudo crontab -e lets you edit roots personal crontab file.  That's not the system crontab in /etc/crontab    You could use it too, but don't confuse the two.
[22:05] <GSF1200S> ok.. thanks
[22:09] <mimorsate> i would like to see if the type of tv output is pal or ntsc. i plugged the cable, rebooted, found the xorg.0.log. what should i look for in it?
[22:10] <e66> when I connect using wvdial, it overwrites my /etc/resolv.conf. How to preserve it. I want to use google dns.
[22:11] <cowbud> when I share a folder with samba via nautilus where is that information entered? Where can I view all shares i have"/
[22:12] <phong_> what is the point of ubuntu ?
[22:12] <phong_> i install it and use..but dont know what to do with it
[22:13] <meganerd> phong_: is that a serious question or flame bait?
[22:13] <phong_> both
[22:13] <meganerd> hah
[22:13] <phong_> ;)
[22:14] <meganerd> I didn't realize that there had to be a point
[22:14] <phong_> i'm a windows person, now that i got ubuntu, i dont knwo what i can do in ubuntu
[22:14] <meganerd> best bet is to ask Mark Shittleworth
[22:14] <meganerd> I was a Linux user long before Ubuntu and I would continue to be after it is gone
[22:15] <phong_> there is like 10 zillian softwares for windows and rarely anything for linux, what am i going to do
[22:15] <guntbert> phong_: the same things you can do in any OS - except hunting viruses maybe
[22:15] <meganerd> I think we all have our own perspective
[22:15] <Indy^> I was a TRS-80 user that converted ;)
[22:15] <chuckf> phong_: what do you want to do in Ubuntu?
[22:15] <MikeChelen> phong_: there is tons of linux software, check applications -> ubuntu software center to get started :)
[22:15] <meganerd> phong_: I have the exact opposite problem.  I can't find a lot of good software for windows or mac
[22:16] <kodez> phong_: What did you use windows for ?
[22:16] <LogicFan> can anyone recommend a more powerful disk usage analyzer than the one that is included by default?
[22:16] <meganerd> fililight
[22:16] <phong_> convert movies
[22:16] <phong_> play games
[22:16] <meganerd> erm filelight
[22:16] <MikeChelen> LogicFan: what other features do you want?
[22:16] <phong_> and more
[22:16] <kodez> phong_: Same here
[22:16] <phong_> i dont see many games for linux
[22:17] <meganerd> http://supergamer.org/get.htm
[22:17] <phong_> most 3d games are for windows
[22:17] <MikeChelen> phong_: try arista transcoder or winff to do media conversion
[22:17] <meganerd> http://live.linux-gamers.net
[22:17] <LogicFan> MikeChelen,i'd really like to sort by app/file size
[22:17] <LogicFan> instead of just being able to look at directories
[22:17] <phong_> Mike: luckily i have vmware 7 for lunux
[22:17] <phong_> haha
[22:17] <LogicFan> there was a great one i used to use on windows for the life of my i cannot think of now
[22:18] <meganerd> phong_: I have played a number of games on both platforms, having said that, a game *made* for Windows will probably tend to work better on windows
[22:18] <phong_> mike or maybe i should have dual boots
[22:18] <phong_> 1 is windows and 1 is linux
[22:18] <MikeChelen> phong_: openarena, sauerbrauten, and tremulous are great FPS, try http://playdeb.net to find more
[22:18] <furicle> @cowbud /var/lib/samba I think -  see http://gentoo.ovibes.net/nautilus-share/
[22:18] <meganerd> phong_: if all you do is play games buy an xbox, PS3, or wii
[22:18] <MikeChelen> LogicFan: you want to look at individual files instead of directories?
[22:18] <meganerd> all three together is still cheaper than a decent Windows gaming computer
[22:18] <phong_> meganerd: i dont buy games
[22:19] <phong_> i downloaded
[22:19] <meganerd> well, I do not support piracy
[22:19] <MikeChelen> meganerd: there are alot of great linux games too
[22:19] <guntbert> !piracy | phong_
[22:19] <phong_> games cost alot!!1
[22:19] <meganerd> so I will not be of help there
[22:19] <phong_> oh
[22:19] <phong_> i'm sorry then
[22:19] <phong_> haha
[22:19] <sontek> How do I downgrade a package to an older version
[22:19]  * kodez thinks Ubuntu is a friendly linux distro
[22:19] <sontek> I added a 3rd party repo that upgraded banshee, but i'd like to go back to the distro version
[22:19] <LogicFan> MikeChelen, for example, it would be cool to see the largest files on down to the smallest, at a glance, across the entire file system.  instead of having to sort through directories first
[22:19] <MikeChelen> phong_: many windows games will run in wine, use playonlinux to help install
[22:19] <meganerd> MikeChelen: there are great linux games, I just do not do a lot of gaming
[22:19] <LogicFan> MikeChelen, if that makes sense
[22:20] <phong_> where can i install playonlinux?
[22:20] <phong_> what is it
[22:20] <MikeChelen> sontek: try removing the custom repo, then do apt-get dist upgrade
[22:20] <meganerd> MikeChelen: and the games I do play, I usually want to play with friends, none of whom are Linux users
[22:20] <MikeChelen> phong_: it helps install windows games on linux, it's available through the software center
[22:20] <phong_> ok brb 'll go to do add
[22:20] <phong_> brb
[22:20] <mimorsate> how to check if the tv output is set on ntsc or pal?
[22:21] <MikeChelen> LogicFan: see what you mean, unsure what supports that, might try fslint
[22:21] <meganerd> xrandr -q
[22:21] <phong_> mike: it called "front end for wine"
[22:21] <phong_> is that the right one?
[22:21] <meganerd> mimorsate: xrandr -q
[22:21] <LogicFan> MikeChelen, here's what i use on windows: http://www.freshney.org/xinorbis/index.htm & http://windirstat.info/
[22:22] <phong_> if i install that, will it effect my currently installed wine 1.1.36 ?
[22:22] <Dr_Willis> playonlinux - front-end for Wine
[22:22] <MikeChelen> phong_: yep that's it, wine is what runs underneath
[22:22] <kodez> I think I should install ubuntu for my sister. I use other distro myself.
[22:22] <meganerd> mimorsate: the "Display" control unser System -> Preferences may tell you as well
[22:22] <LogicFan> the one that is included with ubuntu gets the job done, but i was just wanting something a bit more powerful
[22:22] <phong_> mike: i already have wine 1.1.36 installed
[22:22] <guntbert> MikeChelen: did you try "graphical disk map" ?
[22:22] <phong_> if i choose to install playonlinux will it matter?
[22:22] <MikeChelen> phong_: installing playonlinux shouldn't effect the current wine version
[22:22] <meganerd> MikeChelen: I am a big fan of filelight
[22:23] <phong_> ok
[22:23] <Dr_Willis> phong_: its just a front end TO wine. I doubt  if it will affect it
[22:23] <phong_> brb
[22:23] <phong_> ok, how do i use it after installed?
[22:23] <MikeChelen> guntbert, meganerd: can either graphical disk map or filelight show a flat, sorted listing of all files on the system?
[22:23] <mimorsate> meganerd: xrandr -q only showed resolution, display preferences also
[22:24] <Dr_Willis> phong_:  run its icon...
[22:24] <phong_> Dr: how would i use playonlinux
[22:24] <MikeChelen> phong_: applications -> games -> playonlinux
[22:24] <phong_> oh okay
[22:24] <phong_> brb
[22:24] <meganerd> MikeChelen: for that I use an alias
[22:24] <MikeChelen> phong_: you will also need the install files for whatever you want to run, playonlinux just makes the process easier
[22:24] <phong_> hey, why my screen move nicely
[22:24] <phong_> more then 3d effect
[22:24] <meganerd> MikeChelen: alias dus="du -Pacmx --max-depth=1 . | sort -g"
[22:24] <guntbert> MikeChelen: I don't think/know but why don't you try?
[22:24] <phong_> is that ubuntu included ?
[22:24] <phong_> nice interface
[22:25] <MikeChelen> phong_: yep that is called desktop effects or compiz
[22:25] <phong_> when i move the windows screen around...it stress the windows...loooks nice
[22:25] <Cyberthunder> MikeChelen, i think normal wine is more easy then play on linux
[22:25] <phong_> i think windows should make that too hahaha
[22:25]  * Dr_Willis hates wobbly windows
[22:25] <phong_> brb
[22:25] <MikeChelen> LogicFan: try that command meganerd posted?
[22:25] <phong_> compiz can haev problem with vnc viewer
[22:25] <phong_> haha
[22:26] <phong_> ok i have the playonlinux screen
[22:26] <phong_> what then?
[22:26] <MikeChelen> Cyberthunder: it depends what software, for example office is difficult to get running with wine, but playonlinux makes it easier
[22:26] <phong_> install or run?
[22:26] <MikeChelen> phong_: pick install if you have some windows program you want to set up
[22:26] <phong_> ok
[22:26] <phong_> let me try intalling wc3
[22:27] <LogicFan> MikeChelen, sorry, didn't see one that was relevant?
[22:27] <Dr_Willis> phong_:  you do have WC3 disks handy?
[22:27] <phong_> yes
[22:27] <GSF1200S> furicle: (and others who helped) thanks.. I got the script going well through cron scheduling by user
[22:27] <Cyberthunder> MikeChelen, for office i only use open office, but i understand you
[22:27] <MikeChelen> LogicFan: meganerd was suggesting a command alias: alias dus="du -Pacmx --max-depth=1 . | sort -g"
[22:28] <phong_> dr: so i can only installed games that are in the list?
[22:28] <LogicFan> oh, the du command
[22:28] <phong_> haha
[22:28] <LogicFan> didn't see that, thanks
[22:28] <phong_> will it install any games beside the games list in that list
[22:28] <Cyberthunder> phong_, no not only games that are in the list, imho all games that run under wine, but with games in the list is easier
[22:28] <MikeChelen> Cyberthunder: me too, but some people need ms office for compatibility with other users
[22:29] <phong_> oh okay
[22:29] <harold_>  hello, friends. I have a problem. when I issue the df -h command it reports that my /home partition has 77% ( 24 GB) free space. However, if I want to copy 1.5 GB on it, the system reports "no space left on the device". Do you know what can be causing this? thanks in advance.

[22:29] <GSF1200S> furicle: by chance, is it possible to make the script run every half hour? Im cool with one hour, but since im using it for HD backup, every half hour would be cool...
[22:29] <daminkz> How do you uninstall a program that has been installed via .bundle file?
[22:30] <phong_> why playonlinux doesn't have drive i can brower for .exe to be installed?
[22:30] <phong_> hmm

[22:36] <maco> furicle: oh yeah i dont htink empathy even does /msg
[22:36] <MikeChelen> phong_: the cd should be in something like /mount/cdrom
[22:37] <guntbert> furicle: try /msg ubottu  <some text> - you get a "private" chat window with her - and there you don't need the ! any more

[22:39] <RobotCow> how do i get the icon back on my panel for evolution and empathy?
[22:40] <guntbert> geysser: why don't you use the version from the repos?
[22:40] <Out_Cold> RobotCow, drag the icon from the menu to the panel
[22:40] <MikeChelen> phong_: point playonlinux to the cd, it might look like C:\\media\cdrom
[22:40] <geysser> guntbert it's an old version: 2.0
[22:40] <edomeda> hey guys, I'm using rhythmbox as a music manager, several of the albums (with full id3 tags) are not fetching album cover art.

[22:41] <aLeSD> hi all
[22:41] <ShazbotMcNasty> !hello
[22:41] <aLeSD> Could u suggest me a good rrs reader ?
[22:41] <Burzmali> Hello, after installing a 2nd video card (nvidia) my system is freezing after "console [tty0] enabled" during boot, any advice?
[22:41] <guntbert> geysser: and you really need the latest - I see - you could be lucky to find one in some ppa
[22:41] <palanthas_> Is it possible to convert a hard drive from NTFS to FAT32 without losing the data? (drives are currently on winXP but I want to put the drives in my ubuntu machine)
[22:42] <meganerd> palanthas_: not that I know of
[22:42] <RobotCow> Out_Cold, that icon isn't in the menu. It looks like an envelope and works for both evolution pidgin and empathy
[22:42] <meganerd> palanthas_: Ubuntu can safely read and write ntfs anyway
[22:42] <infid> how can i tell when the last time someone unlocked gnome was?
[22:42] <ShazbotMcNasty> palanthas_, move your data somewhere else, then reformat, then move back
[22:42] <ShazbotMcNasty> although fat32 isn't supposed to be more than 4gigs I think
[22:42] <geysser> guntbert I've looked, but there is no updated ppa anywhere!The most recent is for 2.0! :)
[22:42] <palanthas_> ok, I was having issues in the past with ubuntu not seeing the drives when they were formated in ntfs
[22:43] <meganerd> palanthas_: I have not had problems recently
[22:43] <guntbert> geysser: did you look at !compile ?
[22:43] <meganerd> I have been using the ntfs-3g stuff for more than a year (2+ Ubuntu releases)
[22:43] <palanthas_> hmm... may just have to try again then I guess. Haven't in a while...
[22:43] <Dr_Willis> palanthas_:  its possible partion magic can do it - i doubt if gparted can.
[22:43] <meganerd> 9.10 even seems to work reasonably well with ntfs USB drives
[22:44] <ShazbotMcNasty> infid, look in /var/log/auth.log for user login and authentication logs
[22:44] <palanthas_> ok Dr_Willis
[22:44] <geysser> guntbert what...exactly is...!compile (Caution!Newbee alert!!!)
[22:44] <ShazbotMcNasty> infid, look in /var/log/faillog to see if anyone has failed logging in
[22:44] <Dr_Willis> palanthas_:  with ntfs - do NOT use windows hibernate/suspend features and  if linux wont mount the drives.. have windows scan/check the drives
[22:44] <infid> thanks ShazbotMcNasty
[22:44] <Out_Cold> RobotCow, you don't have it listed in your internet menu? then create a shortcut on your desktop or add to the menu again. then drag
[22:44] <ShazbotMcNasty> infid,  no prob
[22:44] <guntbert> !compile | geysser sorry
[22:45] <infid> also, how can i rsync a folder from 'foo' to 'bar' where foo and bar are the hostnames of my computers on my LAN?
[22:45] <ShazbotMcNasty> that one I do not know.
[22:45] <Burzmali> Hello, after installing a 2nd video card (nvidia) my system is freezing after "console [tty0] enabled" during boot, any advice?
[22:46] <palanthas_> That shouldn't be an issue Dr_Willis as I plan to put them in the linux machine which is not dual booting to windows
[22:46] <geysser> guntbert let's see....
[22:47] <alessandro_> hello can anyone help me I have to install a graphic card on my ubuntu the graphic card is an X800 allinwonder AGP
[22:47] <guntbert> geysser: but usually its a three step process, 1) unpack, change into the top directory 2) read README and INSTALL 3) follow them {3a) usually ./configure, 3b) make 3c) sudo make install}
[22:48] <guntbert> geysser: Good luck :-) I got to go
[22:48] <alessandro_>  hello can anyone help me I have to install a graphic card on my ubuntu the graphic card is an X800 allinwonder AGP
[22:49] <geysser> guntbert Thanks!

[22:51] <kingjm> I am looking for a good guide for ipsec/l2tp preshared key. that will work on 8.04lts any ideas?
[22:51] <Dr_Willis> alessandro_:  power down.. plug it in... use the hardware drivers tool......
[22:51] <Dr_Willis> alessandro_:  or is there some bigger issue you are having?
[22:51] <VCoolio> geysser: if you're compiling a newer version for something that is in the repos, this command is useful to get dependencies: sudo apt-get build-dep <package> ; also "sudo checkinstall" instead of "sudo make install" makes a deb and installs that; usually a good idea but install checkinstall first
[22:51] <kingjm> alessandro looking flgrx drivers
[22:51] <edomeda> hey guys, I'm using rhythmbox as a music manager, several of the albums (with full id3 tags) are not fetching all of the album cover art.  I wrote a script to import from my old player (banshee in .cache/) but would like to find an app that would be able to download missing albums and store them in the directory with the tracks. (Artist - Album.jpg)  Any suggestions?
[22:52] <macman_> help http://pastie.org/781249
[22:53] <palanthas_> alessandro_, plugin the card, start the machine, and once your desktop comes up go to System/Administration/Hardware Drivers
[22:53] <alessandro_> kingjm I tryed 2 times and I alwayse cracm my computer wont start my x server
[22:53] <Bantracker> FloodBot2: ('-J',)
[22:53] <Bantracker> FloodBot2: ('-J',)
[22:53] <kingjm> alessandro you also need to install restricted kernel headers
[22:54] <alessandro_> palanthas I did it but it says no driver needed
[22:54] <palanthas_> hmm...
[22:54] <palanthas_> alessandro_, you have an active internet connection when you go into hardware drivers right?
[22:54] <alessandro_> palanthas yes
[22:55] <hspaans> is there someone here with an IBM or Lenovo laptop?
[22:55] <alessandro_> kingjm I installed it by apt
[22:55] <Omega> What wiki software does help.ubuntu.com/community use?
[22:55] <kingjm> alessandro including the restricted kernel headers?
[22:55] <zoddan> Hi
[22:55] <Seveas> Omega, MoinMoin
[22:55] <zoddan> i did something wrong with my ubuntu installation
[22:56] <zoddan> running on a laptop with nvidia gfx
[22:56] <kingjm> I would look into that with synaptic
[22:56] <zoddan> and i activated the nvidia driver
[22:56] <zoddan> and now my GUI wont start
[22:56] <zoddan> is this a common error?
[22:56] <Omega> Seveas: I suspected as much, is there any documentation about what Extension/Themes/etc. they use?
[22:56] <alessandro_> kingjm yes
[22:56] <phong_> is it safe to install nvidia latest from the nvidia package ?
[22:56] <phong_> or ubuntu 's one
[22:57] <Seveas> Omega, ubuntu theme, openid logins. That's it I believe.
[22:57] <ShazbotMcNasty> zoddan, are you at command prompt right now?
[22:57] <Dr_Willis> phong_:  i always use the drivers from the repos.. but i have an older card.
[22:57] <Omega> Seveas: Thanks a bunch.
[22:57] <phong_> dr: but the one on the latest nvidia will fix most of the bugs
[22:57] <alessandro_> kingjm and after following a tutorial on the net I always have my xserver ho wont start
[22:57] <JoeSomeLap> hi, i am downloading gnome themes, first time, what do i do with the files? extract them to a particular place?
[22:58] <phong_> why ubuntu dont make rep for the latest one
[22:58] <ShazbotMcNasty> JoeSomebody, go to system>preferences>appearance, and drag the tar.gz into the gui
[22:58] <ShazbotMcNasty> and it should install
[22:58] <ShazbotMcNasty> If not - extract the files to ~/.themes/
[22:58] <phong_> question: is the any app that do a boot then back up a partition?
[22:59] <phong_> i want to do that so if it mess up..i restore the partition
[22:59] <Bantracker> FloodBot2: ('-e', 'fatum!i=42443e63@gateway/web/freenode/x-zpzcfyuyljdbiazl')
[22:59] <JoeSomeLap> shaz thanks
[22:59] <ShazbotMcNasty>  JoeSomebody  no prob.
[22:59] <d0wn> Anyone have this problem with ndiswrapper? I get this even after shutting down modules that would be restricting ndiswrapper. http://pastebin.com/m55fb1d18

[23:00] <Dr_Willis> !backup | phong_
[23:00] <Dr_Willis> geysser:  Hmmm?
[23:01] <ShazbotMcNasty> geysser, what's your problem?
[23:01] <geysser> Dr_Willis: I've been asking for help on installing monodevelop-2.2 from tar.bz2
[23:01] <Dr_Willis> geysser:  no idea. I avoide mono.
[23:02] <Dr_Willis> extract, read install docs.. follow directions.. is the normal way
[23:02] <cowbud> when I share a folder with samba via nautilus where is that information entered? Where can I view all shares i have"/
[23:02] <ShazbotMcNasty> geysser, Dr_Willis is right
[23:02] <geysser> Dr_Willis since I'm a .NET guy, it's my only choice!
[23:03] <Dr_Willis> cowbud:   you can use the findsmb and smbtree commands.. but ive never figured out where those shares data is stored at.
[23:03] <ShazbotMcNasty> geysser, extract the file to somewhere safe, then read the instructions or README - and it should have installation help there.
[23:03] <cowbud> Dr_Willis: damn buymmer they used to just modify the samba conf that is kinda scary to hide all that info..
[23:03] <cowbud> Dr_Willis: thanks for the tips on the commands
[23:03] <Dr_Willis> cowbud:  scarier that a systel config is getting modified all the time
[23:04] <Dr_Willis> power failure while a user is adding a share.. currupted config file.. bad karma. :)
[23:04] <geysser> after ./configure????
[23:04] <Dr_Willis> I just enable home shares. and leave it at that normally
[23:04] <bastid_raZor> geysser: make
[23:04] <Dr_Willis> !compile
[23:05] <geysser> errors!!!
[23:05] <Dr_Willis> geysser:  now you know why package managers are so popular.
[23:05] <Dr_Willis> There may be PPA repos for  monodevleop
[23:05] <ShazbotMcNasty> geysser, pastebin the errors
[23:06] <ShazbotMcNasty> geysser, there is monodevelop2.0 in repos, is that too old?
[23:07] <geysser> here http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m2e3a6cc6
[23:08] <ShazbotMcNasty> geysser, the first command the readme says to do is "./configure --prefix=`pkg-config --variable=prefix mono`"
[23:08] <ShazbotMcNasty> then is says "make"
[23:08] <ShazbotMcNasty> then "make install"
[23:08] <ShazbotMcNasty> geysser, http://pastebin.com/md6a77e4
[23:09] <ShazbotMcNasty> that's the readme file and installation instructions
[23:09] <ShazbotMcNasty> it's called README because you're supposed to READ IT
[23:10] <PyroPhelia> is it possible to activate an inactve lv?
[23:10] <geysser> ShazbotMcNasty I've read it, but I don't get it!prefix? variable?
[23:11] <ShazbotMcNasty> geysser, just paste those commands into your terminal
[23:11] <Dr_Willis> geysser:  note the use of the backticks `  - those are commands that get ran and give out other info.
[23:11] <Dr_Willis> geysser:  if this is all voodoo to you - it may be time to learn some more linux basics
[23:12] <Dr_Willis> its also possible theres many other things that need to be installed to compile that monostuff
[23:12] <geysser> backticks my @$$!!!! Again the same errors in make!
[23:12] <ShazbotMcNasty> maybe you did it wrong
[23:13] <ShazbotMcNasty> I'd say redownload the tar.bz2 and try it from scratch
[23:13] <ardchoille> geysser: Compiling apps from source puts dependency resolution on the shoulders of the user. Are you sure you have all of the correct deps installed before trying to compile?
[23:14] <geysser> ardchoille I have all the dependencies mentioned in the MonoDevelop site
[23:14] <CAPcap> I need wine assistance
[23:14] <ardchoille> geysser: All the correct versions of deps?
[23:15] <hspaans> PyroPhelia: why shouldn't it be active?
[23:15] <ShazbotMcNasty> CAPcap, have you went to WINEhq?
[23:15] <ShazbotMcNasty> CAPcap, what do you need help with?

[23:18] <Dr_Willis> cowbud:  great. now i can remove all these shares  i got scattered all over. :)
[23:18] <cowbud> Dr_Willis: exactly my thoughts :)
[23:18] <Dr_Willis> cowbud:  i was looking fo a command to just 'show what shares exist and their paths' :)  but never did find one
[23:19] <cowbud> Dr_Willis: yeah I am going to look for a bug and if none exists file one that really should be something we should be able to see easily
[23:20] <Tuxguy> Can someone point me at the pxe images?
[23:20] <Dr_Willis> cowbud:  yea. the whole samba setup inder ubuntu really needs a lot of love. I can make it work.. but ive been fighting with samba for years
[23:21] <cowbud> yeah
[23:21] <furicle> @cowbug smbstatus -S

[23:22] <geysser> Forget it!I'm giving up!
[23:22] <Dr_Willis> so much for learning to develope mono.
[23:22] <hspaans> adac: or wait for 10.04 when a lot of HAL has been removed
[23:23] <furicle> @cowbud scratch that - doesn't seem to work
[23:23] <ardchoille> Dr_Willis: what would happen if geysser had installed monodevelop from the repos and then tried compiling the newer version from source?
[23:23] <adac> hspaans, yeah I need mysql frequently. I can disable tor and privoxy, though.
[23:24] <hspaans> adac: then buy a bigger machine
[23:24] <Dr_Willis> ardchoille:  no idea. i imagine he would still get mad and give up.. He could of looked at the url i posted - it had ppa's for it i think and other directioons

[23:24] <Dr_Willis> what does 'T' mean in that listing? ive never seen a T befor.
[23:25] <cowbud> Dr_Willis: sticky bit
[23:25] <ShazbotMcNasty> CAPcap, what in wine do you need help with?
[23:25] <Dr_Willis> eww its all sticky
[23:25] <Dr_Willis> :)
[23:25] <cowbud> Dr_Willis: it means users can create and manipulate files that they created
[23:25] <bazhang> CAPcap, the wine channel is #winehq you should check the appdb
[23:25] <cowbud> much like /tmp
[23:25] <hspaans> a sticky bit without execution rights
[23:25] <bazhang> !appdb | CAPcap
[23:25] <Dr_Willis> Somthing rather rare i guess. :)
[23:25] <cowbud> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_bit
[23:25] <CAPcap> I cant make anything run in it. even the iexplorer.exe it comes with
[23:25] <ardchoille> Dr_Willis: I think /tmp is like that
[23:25] <CAPcap> and i'll try the wine channel too
[23:25] <adac> hspaans, nahh :P my notebook is already new :P
[23:25] <cowbud> yes /tmp is also that way
[23:26] <bazhang> CAPcap, have you checked the appdb yet

(Artist - Album.jpg)  Any suggestions?
[23:26] <Dr_Willis> Hmm. I got a Lower case T for tmp.. but upper for the usershares dir.. thats different
[23:26] <Dr_Willis> ive never noticed taht befor in modes wither
[23:26] <ardchoille> same here
[23:26] <hspaans> adac: 5400 rpm disk?
[23:27] <Dr_Willis>  monodevelop - 2.2-1~ppa1  -- Hmm what version of monodevelop was that guy looking for?
[23:28] <ardchoille> 2.2
[23:28] <PyroPhelia> hspaans, I just recovered from a major fault.  I had 5 drives fail on me in a 15 disk raid6.  replaced the raid card, readded the drives to array and now the raid is fine, but the lv didn't go active because it couldn't find the raid on startup.  but it's fine now, the command I was looking for was lvchange -ay /dev/foo/bar
[23:28] <adac> hspaans, yeah unfortunately
[23:28] <Dr_Willis> that was a 10 sec google search :P
[23:28] <ardchoille> Looks like it would have helped
[23:28] <hspaans> adac: their is a lot of IO-wait so a faster disk may help a lot
[23:28] <ardchoille> hehe
[23:29] <adac> hspaans, I see! thx!
[23:29] <domo> How do I become root in Ubuntu? sudo su?

[23:29] <domo> Thank you
[23:29] <bazhang> domo, you dont need root normally use sudo
[23:29] <adac> sudo su works also
[23:29] <PyroPhelia> domo, you can use su as well, but you have to enable it.
[23:29] <domo> bazhang: i have some work to do
[23:29] <Dr_Willis> dont use sudo su. :) bad habbit.
[23:29] <hspaans> PyroPhelia: vgdisplay shows nothing?
[23:29] <iceroot> adac: but setting environment wrong in some cases
[23:29] <domo> as root
[23:30] <bazhang> then sudo -i if you must
[23:30] <domo> ok
[23:30] <PyroPhelia> hspaans, no it showed the vgs
[23:30] <adac> Dr_Willis, old bad habit ;)
[23:30] <hspaans> adac: a good SSD is a goog investment for a laptop
[23:30] <Dr_Willis> adac:  i still have a habbit of using 'sux' :P
[23:30] <adac> hehe
[23:30] <furicle> ==> find /var/lib/samba/usershares/ -type f -exec grep path "{}" \;
[23:30] <hspaans> PyroPhelia: lvscan also fine?
[23:30] <PyroPhelia> hspaans, the problem was the individual lvs couldn't activate because the disks they were tied to were not in a raid right after restart.  I had to re-add them to their raid.
[23:31] <PyroPhelia> hspaans, yeap
[23:31] <adac> hspaans, Ok onnce they become cheaper I'll get one of those
[23:31] <hspaans> PyroPhelia: you're using lvm-raid?
[23:31] <PyroPhelia> hspaans, negative.  mdadm software raid
[23:31] <flow2fly> good evening
[23:32] <Dr_Willis> furicle:  thanks. I now have a new command/alias -> 'ShowUserShares' :)
[23:32] <ShazbotMcNasty> flow2fly, hello
[23:32] <hspaans> PyroPhelia: it is still syncing?
[23:32] <PyroPhelia> hspaans, so after I replaced the raid backplane I simply used mdadm --add /dev/mdx /dev/sdx,y,z to the raid.  the resync'd fine.  but the lv's didn't come back.  I'm sure they would have come back if I restarted but I had other active LVs that were in use
[23:33] <PyroPhelia> hspaans, no it resync'd already it's fine now
[23:33] <hspaans> PyroPhelia: 15 disks in raid 6 and now already fine? wow
[23:33] <PyroPhelia> hspaans, like I said I just needed the command to reactive the lv that was tied to the raid that died.  it's fine
[23:33] <flow2fly> can anybody help me with some driver problem? (usb sound card)
[23:33] <PyroPhelia> hspaans, it took about a day to resync :)
[23:34] <PyroPhelia> well a day and a half to be honest
[23:35] <semitones> Hey -- why did I have to jump through so many hoops to get here? I was sent first to #ubuntu-proxy-users, and then to #ubuntu-unregged. Is security extra tight for some reason?
[23:35] <Hawaiian_Eskimo> semitones: botnet spam attack on freenode
[23:35] <hspaans> PyroPhelia: you know you should put only 10 disk max in a raid6 set?
[23:35] <semitones> yikes
[23:36] <PyroPhelia> hspaans, says who?  I've worked on sgi boxes that had had 20+ in a single raid6
[23:36] <Hawaiian_Eskimo> don't click the links, and stay tuned to #freenode
[23:36] <PyroPhelia> granted this is a little different because it's software raid but it works fine for the most part
[23:36] <semitones> My real question is this -- I want to boot ubuntu from usb on a laptop that is too old to do this. Are there any good cdrom based workarounds?
[23:37] <semitones> the ones I've tried in the past were too balky
[23:37] <Hexxeh> Hi
[23:37] <hspaans> PyroPhelia: multiple vendors, you can put more in a set but you will pay a penalty
[23:37] <PyroPhelia> hspaans, raid6 according to spec has no theoretical limmit.  iirc
[23:37] <Dr_Willis> semitones:  ive only seen that for a few disrtos.   if it can boot from cd that may be the best way to install.. or you could set up grub2 on the HD to boot iso files also on the HD.
[23:37] <hspaans> PyroPhelia: you don't want more then 10 for recovery/performance issues
[23:38] <Hexxeh> Just booted up the Karmic LiveCD to try and find the vmlinuz binary, but it's a symlink in root pointing to a file that doesn't exist? Where can I find the actual vmlinuz and initrd.img files for Karmic?
[23:38] <PyroPhelia> hspaans, multiple vendors?  na I use the same model and disk size for my raids.  when I can't get the same drive anymore I let the system die and build off new disks.  i know it sounds crazy but it's actually cheaper and you avoid io penaltys
[23:38] <PyroPhelia> hspaans, the servers I work with have 45 disks in them each, spread across 3 15 disk raid 6s
[23:39] <PyroPhelia> ~188MBps write 290+ read
[23:39] <Thunder_Drop> I have an nvidia video card that has the apropriate driver installed and works fine but when I check the box in the nvidia-settings manager that enables xinera I cannot compose the screen .  Does the nvidia driver get bypassed when xinera is enables?
[23:39] <semitones> thanks Dr_Willis: I don't need to install -- I just want to run ubuntu -like as in a live cd, for maintenance, just faster because it's on a usb drive. So is there a way to boot from cd, and then the cd tells the laptop to boot from usb?
[23:39] <PyroPhelia> hspaans, have you ever heard of backblaze pods?
[23:40] <sdwrage> Hey all, I am using an ati radeon hd 2600 pro and I am looking in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, in Section "Device" for Identifier and instead of Radeon blah blah blah I get "Configured Video Device". Any way I can get my ati card to work properly?
[23:41] <PyroPhelia> hspaans, you can't beat 67TB for $7k
[23:41] <Thunder_Drop> sdwrage: do you have the restricted driver installed?
[23:42] <sdwrage> Thunder_Drop, I dont want to use the flgrx driver
[23:42] <hspaans> PyroPhelia: yes and no redundancy
[23:42] <sdwrage> wanted to use the open source driver
[23:42] <sdwrage> so I am not sure what you mean :S
[23:42] <PyroPhelia> hspaans, how so?  I can have 3 drives fail before I lose any data
[23:43] <hspaans> PyroPhelia: where I work we need more then 67TB
[23:43] <PyroPhelia> plus I have all my servers backed up in co-location sites so it's not like i'm worried about a single box
[23:43] <PyroPhelia> most people do
[23:43] <Thunder_Drop> sdwrage: under the system administration tab hit hardware drivers then select the recomended driver for your video card... this way the computer knows what to do with your card
[23:43] <PyroPhelia> the point is backblaze is the best option for "cheap" storage
[23:43] <PyroPhelia> is it as fast as a scsi system?  not by a long shot, but they're perfect for HD video dumps
[23:43] <sdwrage> Thunder_Drop, yeah that will intall the proprietary drivers
[23:44] <sdwrage> install
[23:44] <flow2fly> I have the problem that my usb souncard does not get recognized every second start or so
[23:44] <flow2fly> maybe nows how to solve this
[23:44] <hspaans> PyroPhelia: servers with 800 to over 2000 LUNs are normal
[23:44] <Thunder_Drop> sdwrage: without installing the driver I don't think that linux will be able to identify your devices properly
[23:45] <Dextronaught> :O
[23:45] <Dextronaught> how do I know whether I'm using alsa-base, esound, jack, etc.?
[23:45] <Dextronaught> I do have to unistall each one and install the next, right?
[23:45] <sdwrage> Thunder_Drop, but there is an open source ati driver I thought
[23:45] <PyroPhelia> hspaans, yes but it's also very expnesive to setup.  you can't build a 67TB scsi system for $7k
[23:45] <sdwrage> I mean... I can use linux right now
[23:45] <sdwrage> but I just want updated drivers for higher resolution and faster speed
[23:45] <PyroPhelia> hspaans, $70k maybe.  but not $7k
[23:45] <Thunder_Drop> sdwrage: Yes it works without the driver but any advanced features require the restricted driver
[23:46] <minimec> until 9.10 it was possible to do dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets to make freq change available for all user. IN karmic that no longer works. Do you know the new solution. In forum they say that you will be prompted your password if you add CPU Freq Selector, but that doesn't happen here.
[23:46] <sdwrage> Thunder_Drop, and what about the open source driver?
[23:46] <PyroPhelia> hspaans, this is the age of it DEEP cuts.  Evolve or die.
[23:46] <flow2fly> sdwrage: it works for me
[23:46] <Thunder_Drop> sdwrage: you mean the one included with ubuntu?
[23:46] <Dextronaught> how do I know whether I'm using alsa-base, esound, jack, etc.?
[23:46] <Dextronaught> I do have to unistall each one and install the next, right?
[23:47] <sdwrage> Thunder_Drop, as far as I know... the flgrx one is included with ubuntu and thats the proprietary driver
[23:47]  * sdwrage shrugs
[23:47] <flow2fly> sdwrage: correct
[23:48] <Thunder_Drop> Dextronaught: right click on the little speaker on the top right of the screen and hit sound preferences... navigate to the hardware tab
[23:48] <iflema> semitones debian has a tool forget name.. was in the /tools directory... argh... pretty sure it could boot usb without the BIOS option to do so.... but the thing is it lives where grub lives generally speaking.. but ya can get aroung this aswell
[23:48] <Thunder_Drop> sdwrage: I'm not sure... I have Nvidia myself
[23:48] <hspaans> PyroPhelia: which deep cuts?
[23:48] <PyroPhelia> hspaans, budget
[23:49] <flow2fly> sdwrage: if you want to play 3d games i think you might need the restricted driver
[23:49] <PyroPhelia> hspaans, the work flow today is build it bigger and build it cheaper, or find a new job :/
[23:49] <sdwrage> flow2fly, ok ill look at it
[23:49] <Thunder_Drop> If xinerama is enabled do the functions of my nvidia driver stop working preventing my screen from being able to compose?
[23:49] <flow2fly> sdwrage: you want to play games?
[23:49] <hspaans> PyroPhelia: your costs are not in hardware
[23:50] <hspaans> PyroPhelia: but we go offtopic
[23:50] <PyroPhelia> agreed
[23:51] <GSF1200S> anyone here have google earth on buntu who knows how to embed local images in placemarks?
[23:51] <ardchoille> Nautilus has a tabbed ui, how do I launch nautilus with more than one tab?
[23:51] <Dextronaught> Thunder_Drop, http://yfrog.com/0701162010002p
[23:51] <Dextronaught> that's what it looks like
[23:52] <Thunder_Drop> Dextronaught: then you hit the profile button at the bottom and you can switch between the installed sound systems
[23:53] <Thunder_Drop> Dextronaught: If I'm correct :)
[23:53] <leffe123> My firefox crashes a lot, I think it is associated with flash
[23:53] <Izinucs> Thunder_Drop: from what I understand there is some quirkyness with xinerama.. why are you using it?
[23:54] <hspaans> PyroPhelia: you checked lvchange btw?
[23:54] <Thunder_Drop> Izinucs: I was looking into different options other than the nvidia twinview but it seems that I can't enable any desktop effects with xinerama
[23:55] <vaix> what are the differences between grub / grub-pc?  running ubuntuo 9.10 and want to find stage2_eltorito to make an iso and it does  not exist.  I think it exists in "grub" but I am running "grub-pc" - is it ok to cross-grade?
[23:55] <leffe123> firefox outputs a lot of errors, for example: (firefox:2972): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_handler_disconnect: assertion `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed
[23:55] <Dextronaught> Thunder_Drop, when I open Firefox, whichever runs first (Java or Flash), only 1 of them can have sound, or else I need to restart the browser. I'm not sure if you know what I mean. This is on Karmic. Is this typical? any fix?
[23:55] <Thunder_Drop> Izinucs: I think its because my nvidia driver gets bypassed when xinerama is enabled
[23:55] <Izinucs> Thunder_Drop: I use to use xinerama on 6.06 but dropped it.. now I just run a BIG monitor.. nvidia should have some docs on it..
[23:56] <Thunder_Drop> Dextronaught: so whichever gets used first is the only one that can funtion untill firefox is restarted?
[23:57] <Dextronaught> yes
[23:57] <PyroPhelia> hspaans, hmm?
[23:57] <SealedWithAKiss> Hey, I'm going to need a little help here. I'm a complete Linux novice, however I have been running Linux Ubuntu on a spare partition for a couple of years. Today I booted into Linux, and found that the kernel started in low graphics mode. This hasn't happened before. Can anybody help?
[23:57] <Kovensky> http://www.phantom-subs.net/wp-content/themes/sonic/images/top.jpg <-- I wonder what was the source image they used for this banner
[23:57] <vlt> Hello. Can I take an element of an SVG (a single object, group or layer) and put it into a separate file to make it re-usable for other inkscape documents?
[23:58] <Thunder_Drop> Dextronaught: Do you have the newest versions of firefox, java and shockwave?
[23:58] <Dextronaught> I do have the newest version of Firefox, Java too
[23:59] <Dextronaught> shockwave, Idk
[23:59] <Dextronaught> I use Adobe Flash
