[18:55] <indian_munnda> bastid_raZor: mkquist: yup i will try that
[18:55] <Fazer2> blue-frog: thanks
[18:56] <mkquist> Hydromethod: its in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[18:56] <CostaRicanQuaker> help, for some reason when i open a file on abiword or openoffice and i try to alter it, nothing will type...as in no characters appear when typing, what's the problem?
[18:56] <simNIX> if I install with regular users user1; the user1 can sudo. If I want a user2 to be able to do so also do I then only add that user to sudoers or should user2 also be member of wheel group ?
[18:56] <Babbleback> bastid_raZor, thanks it was under the accessibility tab
[18:57] <mkquist> Hydromethod: there is a line called splash-image
[18:57] <blue-frog> simNIX: either the user in sudoers or memeber of "admin" group
[18:57] <[Solars]> its been 45 mins since i started to format my drive and its only 39% done!
[18:57] <simNIX> ok - ty
[18:57] <TopBunny98> simNIX: Is it safe to reve gnome and converte a Ubuntu install to a KDE?
[18:58] <arvind_khadri> TopBunny88, ya
[18:58] <bastid_raZor> TopBunny88; if you're going to remove it then just do a fresh install of kubuntu
[18:58] <v3ctor> TopBunny98: the removal of gnome is always the tricky part
[18:58] <arvind_khadri> bastid_raZor, there is no need for that
[18:58] <arvind_khadri> !purekde | TopBunny98
[18:58] <simNIX> TopBunny88, you could add kubuntu-desktop - then at login you can switch between kde and gnome - if kde works as you want then you can always remove gnome although I never did so myself
[18:59] <ohgodnotanother1> hello
[18:59] <simNIX> ah ubotto ynx - )
[18:59] <simNIX> tnx
[18:59] <ohgodnotanother1> I suppose you guys all know the ubuntu network configuration GUI
[18:59] <arvind_khadri> simNIX, he is just a bot :P
[18:59] <indian_munnda> ra21vi: can you tell me the command to have a shortcut on the desktop?
[18:59] <arvind_khadri> ohgodnotanother1, ask what you want to
[19:00] <ohgodnotanother1> what does this command do in the background to get a DHCP for a wlan card?
[19:00] <ohgodnotanother1> I mean IP from a DHCP
[19:00] <simNIX> I should say arvind_khadri tnx for calling on bot
[19:01] <simNIX> I wonder; if in preseed file I put install kubuntu-desktop it works; is there also such a switch to get to a studiobuntu ?
[19:01] <simNIX> (with a ubuntu install)
[19:01] <ohgodnotanother1> I would like to be able to manually initialise my wlan card without that GUI. but I don't get an IP. what to do?
[19:01] <blue-frog> indian_munnda: right click on the folder/file you want a shortcut, select make link then drag the link on your desktop
[19:01] <arvind_khadri> simNIX, you mean compressed?
[19:02] <blue-frog> ohgodnotanother1: dhclient
[19:02] <arvind_khadri> !studio | simNIX
[19:03] <ohgodnotanother1> blue-frog: dhclient tells me
[19:03] <muntier> hi
[19:03] <ohgodnotanother1> No DHCPOFFERS received.
[19:03] <ohgodnotanother1> No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.
[19:03] <blue-frog> ohgodnotanother1: and you need to give the ssid and key in /etc/network/interface
[19:03] <ohgodnotanother1> blue-frog: it's there, I just checked that
[19:03] <blue-frog> ohgodnotanother1: is dhcp activated on your router?
[19:03] <bastid_raZor> arvind_khadri; ahh i did not know it was that simple to convert to Kubuntu. i'll make note of that link
[19:03] <Hydromethod> does it also say theres already a PID file running?
[19:04] <simNIX> arvind_khadri, Im setting up automated ubuntu install using preseed file; if I put in it tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard, ubuntu-desktop I get full ubuntu desktop - If I put tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard, kubuntu-desktop I get kubuntu. I wonder if I can set in the preseed something like tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard, ubuntu-studio orso
[19:04] <Hydromethod> PID of dhclient i mean
[19:04] <arvind_khadri> bastid_raZor, :) welcome
[19:04] <ohgodnotanother1> blue-frog: yes, it works if I use the GUI but doesn't when I try to enable it manually
[19:04] <simNIX> (I pxe boot /ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/initrd.gz)
[19:04] <Hydromethod> does anyone know if rutilt is still being developed for the ralink drivers?
[19:04] <Whitor> Hi. My Ubuntu won't boot anymore... it works in recovery mode... but not regular mode. It was accidentally unplugged w/o being properly shutdown ... what can I do ?
[19:04] <reinis__> whats the command to kill all running apps?
[19:04] <indian_munnda> blue-frog: its not creating the link.
[19:05] <arvind_khadri> simNIX, no idea what you are saying
[19:05] <fr500_> reinis__: killall processname or kill -9 pid
[19:05] <reinis__> ty
[19:05] <arvind_khadri> fr500, that kills all the instances of that particular process
[19:06] <fr500_> reinis__: yo can kill from top too just type k and it asks for the pid
[19:06] <simNIX> arvind_khadri, on https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/preseed-using.html     its explained

[19:13] <reinis__> google*
[19:13] <davedaveyesdave> ok, im trying to installing ubuntu as a dual boot. I curently have xp loaded. when i 1st tried to install ubuntu there was no option to partition. there was only to use the whole hard drive or do it manually. maually looked scary. I have since partioned 10gb but still the ubuntu installion will not pick this up. please help
[19:14] <arvind_khadri> davedaveyesdave, use the manual method and when you select that drive use it as Ext3 and set it as /
[19:14] <davedaveyesdave> its already formated as ext3
[19:15] <xomp> davedaveyesdave, what filesystem type did you format in? Ext3 should be set for "/" and you should have a swap partition as well.
[19:15] <davedaveyesdave> how to i set up a swap partition
[19:15] <arvind_khadri> davedaveyesdave, then just select and set its mount point as /
[19:15] <davedaveyesdave> why does the installation not run as easy as I see on websites
[19:15] <xomp> davedaveyesdave, are you using gparted?
[19:16] <davedaveyesdave> no, i used a partion program on xp
[19:16] <xomp> davedaveyesdave, that's probably the issue :P try gparted.
[19:16] <ranger> ciao a tutti
[19:16] <ohgodnotanother1> anyone who can help me with dhclient3?
[19:16] <v3ctor> davedaveyesdave: use you windows tool to remove the partiton you created and leave it as unused
[19:17] <v3ctor> the installer should see it
[19:17] <davedaveyesdave> can i not edit it now with gparted
[19:17] <v3ctor> davedaveyesdave: use whatever too you like ;)
[19:17] <v3ctor> tool*
[19:17] <simNIX> arvind_khadri, preseeding is simply put; a network install, which you point to a answering file (the preseed file) in wich things like which packages/ how to partion and more is set. Setup this way is not done by clicking through all those settings but are automaticly read from that preseed file
[19:18] <arvind_khadri> simNIX, thanks ... i read that :)
[19:18] <simNIX> this way pc's which can boot over the network here (can pxe boot) can choose install automaticly Ubuntu desktop or kubuntu desktop or lampserver and so on
[19:19] <maco> how can i change how often hal polls my cdrom drive?  i'd like to make it be around 10 seconds instead of the default 2, to save resources, but i also don't want to disable it entirely
[19:19] <TopBunny88> How does one start the swat deamon from the commandline?
[19:19] <davedaveyesdave> how much space should i use as a swap area
[19:19] <bobbob1016> I usually use hamachi to remotely connect to my home PC.  I forgot to run hamachi, but I do have ports forwarded to another linux machine, for torrents.  Would it even be remotely possible to ssh via the port I have forwarded without being home?  I know I'd be hacking my home machine, just wondering...
[19:19] <TopBunny88> davedaveyesdave:  minimum, swap is 1.5X physical memory (ram)
[19:20] <rsc-> will an iPod Touch be compatible with libgpod and the apps that use it? :P I'm thinking of getting one :p

[19:20] <simNIX> arvind_khadri, I was away from screen for a bit - say you q what is preseed in red with my name but didnt saw if I already answered
[19:20] <maco> rsc-: i dont think so
[19:20] <rsc-> maco, what can I use to update it?
[19:21] <davedaveyesdave> how do i create a new partion (swap area) with gparted
[19:21] <Pizarro> Hello
[19:21] <maco> rsc-: i dont think they have Touch support yet...maybe in Intrepid?
[19:21] <Pizarro> Can anyone help me with PUTTY and XMING. I get the error:
[19:21] <Pizarro> No protocol specified
[19:21] <Pizarro> help!
[19:22] <maco> rsc-: every time a new generation of apple junk comes out, they screw with things to force incompatibility. the first gen Touches might be compatible but the 2-weeks-ago stuff is doubtful
[19:22] <arvind_khadri> simNIX, its ok :)

[19:23] <snova> am i going to have to do something special to make kdm start a kde4 session instead of a kde3 one? it's the kde4 version of kdm, so i don't think i'll have to, but before i reboot to make all the upgrades come into effect, i want to make sure i'll see kde4 when it starts up again.
[19:23] <maco> davedaveyesdave: doesnt matter
[19:23] <arvind_khadri> Pizarro, i think you should ask #windows
[19:24] <IntuitiveNipple> remoteCTRL: what did you do? threaten to hit the keyboard with a hammer?
[19:24] <remoteCTRL> davedaveyesdave: depends on if you specified it as primary or logical during setup...
[19:24] <v3ctor> snova: mine shows as kde4 in the list
[19:24] <creeed> davedaveyesdave, I'll take it as extended
[19:24] <snova> v3ctor: it has a list of session types? i didn't know that.
[19:24] <arvind_khadri> snova, you dont have to do anything special
[19:24] <maco> IntuitiveNipple: it's not hard to do....just click whatever you set to your 3rd level chooser and hit n...um, with international keyboard turned on
[19:24] <v3ctor> snova: yes it does
[19:24] <kernco> I'm following some instructions that ask me to install the package libapache-mod-dav, but this package isn't in 8.04, only 7.10 and earlier.  What is the current equivalent package(s)?
[19:24] <NicEXE> I am trying to help a friend set up cPanel on Ubuntu but there is no luck. Can anyone help me set up cPanel?
[19:25] <cars__> I am trying to transfer a large number of files between two computers over a firewire cable.  One is running Ubuntu and the other is running Vista (shudder).  I looked at the Wiki page for Ethernet over Firewire but am confused.  Is what I am attempting to do possible?  My other method available to me is transferring via flash drive, but one computer does not have USB 2.0.
[19:25] <remoteCTRL> IntuitiveNipple: heh errr actually i don't know so exactly all of asudden today duriong the day when i hit it automatically it worked:D
[19:25] <snova> v3ctor: arvind_khadri: ok, thank you. i'm going to reboot now.
[19:25] <Pizarro> windows?
[19:25] <davedaveyesdave> ok, i created a partition of 10gb for ubuntu, i used 2gb of that as swap area. I will now try to install again
[19:25] <NicEXE> I am trying to help a friend set up cPanel on Ubuntu but there is no luck. Can anyone help me set up cPanel?
[19:25] <cars__> Sorry, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EthernetOverFirewire is the page I was referring to.
[19:25] <rsc-> cars__, i haven't tried it but linux *can* ethernet-over-firewire
[19:25] <Pizarro> I am trying to establish a SSH connection lo linux,
[19:25] <remoteCTRL> davedaveyesdave: why, what is the problem?
[19:25] <Pizarro> I htink it is a Linux matter
[19:25] <Pizarro> since the errors I get are in linux session
[19:26] <Pizarro> putty is working womnderful!
[19:26] <Pizarro> the problem is when I want to forward X11
[19:26] <remoteCTRL> Pizarro: can you paste the error message?
[19:26] <v3ctor> Pizarro: forward X11 to windows desktop?
[19:26] <sysdoc> Where in compiz do you adjust the window sticky (sticky to other windows or view port?)
[19:26] <creeed> davedaveyesdave, if you wanna install new, just let ubuntu partition your unallocated area automatically
[19:27] <Pizarro> No protocol specified
[19:27] <Pizarro> xhost:  unable to open display "<IP_ADDRESS>:0"
[19:27] <Pizarro> That's the message
[19:27] <davedaveyesdave> creeed that was my initial problem
[19:27] <creeed> davedaveyesdave, what is the problem?
[19:27] <remoteCTRL> IntuitiveNipple: all that i know is current setting is german generic
[19:27] <L52> Pizarro: have you checked out cygwin?
[19:28] <davedaveyesdave> i had no option to partition free space, only to use all hard drive or manual
[19:28] <remoteCTRL> davedaveyesdave: manual is where you can partition the free space manually;)
[19:28] <davedaveyesdave> i know but it looked scary
[19:28] <davedaveyesdave> try now
[19:28] <davedaveyesdave> trying now
[19:28] <cars__> rsc-: That's good to know.  I'm lost when it comes to recompiling the kernel in that way, though.  I know I will need additional software on the Vista end, since they removed native support for it after XP.
[19:29] <Pizarro> L52, I don't have cygwin, is it necessary?
[19:29] <[Solars]> when ubuntu writes "lilo" to the first disk... and you already have Windows installed does it adjust to allow dual boot of both
[19:29] <remoteCTRL> davedaveyesdave: what is it actually that you are trying to accomplish?
[19:29] <davedaveyesdave> i want to install ubuntu
[19:29] <snova> v3ctor: thanks again! kde4 is beautiful! now i just have to reconfigure every setting in sight, and i'll be happy.
[19:29] <Rolaulten> Ello...I
[19:29] <remoteCTRL> davedaveyesdave: i thought you did that already?
[19:29] <creeed> davedaveyesdave, when you choose manual, you'll see all your partitions / unallocated areas, just select an unallocated area and press automatically partitioning
[19:29] <v3ctor> Pizarro: you require an xserver to do forwarding
[19:29] <ailean> I'm looking for an easy way to back up my home directory to multiple DVDs.  Is there an application that anyone can recommend?
[19:30] <L52> Pizarro: I don't know if putty is even able to forward X11 to a windows desktop. (is it?)
[19:30] <indian_munnda> ra21vi: are you there?
[19:30] <Pizarro> v3ctor, I have installed X11 in the server
[19:30] <davedaveyesdave> but originally there were no unalocated areas
[19:30] <Pizarro> L52, yes in juction with xming
[19:30] <davedaveyesdave> there was only xp and back up
[19:30] <L52> Pizarro: I did that (years ago) with cygwin (afaik)
[19:30] <v3ctor> Pizarro: you need xserver on the windows desktop
[19:30] <Pizarro> which I have already installed
[19:30] <maco> ailean: mondo mindi
[19:30] <Pizarro> v3ctor, I already have xming instaled and running
[19:30] <creeed> davedaveyesdave, so where do you want to install your ubuntu?
[19:31] <v3ctor> Pizarro: did you select the x forwrding option in putty?
[19:31] <maco> ailean: i think it can be told to do just /home
[19:31] <remoteCTRL> Pizarro: what v3ctor said
[19:31] <l3d> whats does the avahi-daemon do
[19:31] <ailean> maco, they're two different apps - is it either or, or do i use them in conjunction with each other?
[19:31] <davedaveyesdave> on my laptop
[19:31] <maco> ailean: together
[19:31] <davedaveyesdave> along side xp
[19:31] <remoteCTRL> l3d: it gives you an ip adress when you have dhcp configured and no server ais available
[19:32] <Pizarro> v3ctor, yes, and to localhost:0
[19:32] <l3d> oh
[19:32] <ailean> thanks maco
[19:32] <Rolaulten> Ello, I'm having issues booting into xp....my keybord and mouse keep getting locked out at the logon screen. However I run a app in windows that alows for custom logon screens...So I was wondering if there was a way to unstall apps in windows from inside ubuntu
[19:32] <Lyk4n8rwp0S> I try to install Ubuntu 8.04 and I get : squashfs error: Unable to read page etc.etc. what is the fault? The Integrity of the cd is perfect.
[19:32] <ailean> maco, err it's asking to configure citadel-server - what's that about?
[19:33] <creeed> davedaveyesdave, okay, okay.. what is the output of fdisk -l
[19:33] <davedaveyesdave> whats fdisk
[19:33] <remoteCTRL> Rolaulten: try to hit f8 on booting that gives you a dialog where you can choose failsafe mode
[19:33] <maco> ailean: i dont know. i backup by rsync'ing to a spare hard drive. one of my friends is a server admin and uses mondo&mindo for backing up to CD/DVD
[19:34] <Rolaulten> ok, cool, then boot into safemode and go from there?
[19:34] <ailean> maco, ok, cool.  i'll give it a try :)
[19:34] <maco> ailean: i just know he recommends it for that usecase
[19:34] <remoteCTRL> Rolaulten: IF you got a keybord then yes
[19:34] <creeed> davedaveyesdave, what is the partition table of your computer?
[19:34] <ailean> maco, many thanks
[19:34] <l3d> ok I was wondering what you guys and or gals who know linux think about this app    http://linuxappfinder.com/package/linux-firewall.org
[19:34] <cars__> Rolaulten: That will work for most things.  Some things will not, like programs installed with Windows installer.
[19:34] <Rolaulten> ok
[19:35] <Rolaulten> now to see if that will work. thanks
[19:35] <remoteCTRL> l3d:   don't know that one but can recommend firestarter

[19:40] <rw__> I have hundreds of files on my external hdd. The file names are jibberish and properties tells me it's an applicatation/octet-stream. I tried to delete them but I can't. Even when I start nautilus as root, it says I don't have permission. Any help?
[19:40] <danbh_intrepid> phantomcircuit: try reinstalling gedit
[19:41] <phantomcircuit> danbh_intrepid, i think it's a problem with gnome
[19:41] <danbh_intrepid> phantomcircuit: then reinstall completely?
[19:41] <balzac> hello
[19:41] <cars__> facundobatista: general properties for things are located in System -> Administration -> Users and Groups
[19:41] <sysdoc> rw__: do you have ownership of the files?
[19:41] <balzac> I'm trying to prepare an ubuntu-eee iso on a usb stick using unetbootin
[19:42] <snova> is there a way to make the overall widget size smaller? i'm using oxygen (kde4) and everything seems too big.
[19:42] <_moro_bana_> how do i change read-write permissions on a drive?. i dont have permission to delete from and make file on my  external hdd under ubuntu .
[19:42] <balzac> unetbootin appears hung
[19:42] <rw__> sysdoc: not sure
[19:42] <balzac> it didn't have the option to select ubuntu-eee as a distro
[19:42] <balzac> nevermind, there it goes...
[19:42] <sysdoc> _moro_bana_: chown chmod
[19:42] <rw__>  sysdoc: the permissions tab tells me I have read-write access.
[19:42] <LogicalDash> I'd like a new window list that's better at navigating a very large number of open windows--mainly a bunch of OpenOffice windows. KDE3's panel was pretty good, is there anything like it for GNOME?
[19:43] <soundray> facundobatista: can you open gconf-editor and check that /desktop/gnome/volume_manager/automount_drives is checked
[19:43] <whyz> hey. I've just installed ubuntu server, but i'm having trouble booting. Grub doesn't work. It gives me "error 15" and freezes. the boot disk is an ordinary IDE, but i do have sata controllers aswell if that matters.. any ideas?
[19:43] <_moro_bana_> sysdoc: where so i type the parameters?
[19:43] <whyz> LogicalDash, tried cairo-dock? it can stack windows..
[19:43] <LogicalDash> whyz: I'll try it, thanks
[19:44] <soundray> LogicalDash: the default window list is much better if you put it in a side panel rather than the bottom one
[19:44] <balzac> everyone is going to be so jealous of my asus-eee with ubuntu
[19:44] <svenstaro> Hello everybody, how can I control two systems at once using the CLI? I know there is a tool but I forgot the name.
[19:44] <soundray> balzac: not me, I've got one
[19:44] <Smegma> I have an eee
[19:44] <LogicalDash> whyz: what package has cairo-dock in it?
[19:44] <rw__> svenstaro: use openssh
[19:44] <sysdoc> _moro_bana_: In a terminal, use $ man chown for instructions on how to use
[19:44] <whyz> LogicalDash, i believe it's called cairo-dock :)
[19:44] <_moro_bana_> sysdoc: chown chmod /dev/sdb1
[19:45] <LogicalDash> whyz: yeah but I just searched for that and it's not in the repos
[19:45] <svenstaro> rw__: orly :/ yes well I want to type in the commands once and they should be executed on many systems at once, I dont want a ssh session with each of myclients seperately
[19:45] <whyz> LogicalDash, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CairoDock
[19:45] <sysdoc> _moro_bana_: chown and chmod are 2 different commands
[19:45] <sysdoc> man chmod and man chown to see the usage
[19:45] <_moro_bana_> sysdoc: ok thanks, i ll figure out the rest.
[19:46] <sysdoc> :)
[19:46] <cars__> I am trying to transfer a large number of files between two laptops over a firewire cable.  One computer is running Ubuntu and the other is running Vista (shudder).  I looked at the Ubuntu Wiki page for Ethernet over Firewire (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EthernetOverFirewire) but am confused.  My other method available to me is transferring via flash drive, but one computer does not have USB 2.0.  I know I will need additional softwa
[19:46] <cars__> re on the Vista end, since they removed native support for it after XP.
[19:46] <LogicalDash> whyz: thanks
[19:47] <whyz> cars__, can't you use regular ethernet?
[19:47] <sysdoc> rw__: did you follow that?
[19:47] <cars__> whyz: All I have is a standard ethernet cable.  I don't have a hub/router or crossover cable.
[19:47] <svenstaro> How can I control two remote systems at once using the CLI? I know there is a tool but I forgot the name.
[19:47] <whyz> cars__, ah, ok
[19:47] <RenzoreK> Is it true that now proprietary multimedia codecs are only for sale, making Ubuntu commercialized?
[19:48] <standing_still> why I feel like im being ignored in this open society???
[19:48] <standing_still> why I feel like im being ignored in this open society???
[19:48] <unop> cars__, this should be simple - as long as you successfully load the right modules, a new ethernet interface is created, you configure the interface for this setup and off you go
[19:48] <snova> RenzoreK: this might not be the place for that
[19:48] <soundray> cars__: some adapters have a crossover function and will notice if they are connected peer-to-peer -- worth a try
[19:48] <svenstaro> standing_still: because there are too many people here who have problems
[19:48] <unop> standing_still, probably because you put people off with that attitude?
[19:48] <balzac> installing ubuntu-eee
[19:48] <standing_still> is it an open society or a close one?
[19:48] <balzac> bye bye xandros
[19:48] <snova> standing_still: as much as i agree, i'll ask, what's the problem?
[19:48] <Jowi> whyz, http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/gnu/grub/html_chapter/grub_13.html <- grub error codes. it seems like grub is confused of where to find what it is looking for. can't help you fix it though. someone else familiar with that error code?
[19:49] <soundray> standing_still: stop moaning and describe your problem.
[19:49] <whyz> Jowi, thanks
[19:49] <balzac> hehe
[19:50] <unop> standing_still, i'll try and help you in here - let's keep the conversation here so other people can contribute too
[19:50] <standing_still> allrite..
[19:50] <standing_still> thnx... now i believe it is a open society...
[19:50] <standing_still> hehe
[19:50] <standing_still> well..
[19:50] <standing_still> im tryin 2 install new ALSA driver..
[19:50] <soundray> standing_still: keep it ontopic and on one line please
[19:50] <sako> hey guys, if i use the alpha does it automatically upgrade into 8.10? or is it better to wait for the final release?
[19:51] <cars__> unop, I'm new to all that, even recompiling the kernel.  Would this set it up as an Ethernet connection, or some other connection that would allow the Vista computer to see the other?  I'm looking for the most painless way of setting up this temporary connection.
[19:51] <magnetron> !intrepid > sako
[19:51] <sako> ty
[19:51] <standing_still> coz ma laptop wont make any sound at all wiht the default installation... and i got some problem
[19:51] <balzac> It might be "open" but it's not one hundred percent free.
[19:51] <facundobatista> soundray: it wasn't checked. Now I checked it (automount_drives), and also checked automount_media, just in case
[19:52] <Daft_Punk> I got my ubuntu CD in the mail today, and it came with stickers :)
[19:52] <facundobatista> soundray: I tried again, but still does not work
[19:52] <soundray> standing_still: have you looked at the troubleshooting help?
[19:52] <RenzoreK> snova: Why is this not the place? I am not asking for anything illegal or inquiring about it. I am inquiring about Ubuntu's legality and if its no longer fully open-source
[19:52] <standing_still> yea...
[19:52] <unop> cars__, provided this firewire cable you have supports PC2PC communication - all you need to do is configure the ethernet interface i.e. setup an IP address, etc in a network that the vista machine is on too
[19:52] <unop> !pm | standing_still
[19:52] <snova> RenzoreK: because this is mostly a support channel, i think.
[19:52] <soundray> facundobatista: normally I would have thought it would work after that, but perhaps you have to log out and back in again.
[19:52] <deangrobler> Howdy I am a new ubuntu user with a major prob.  I diddn't shut down my pc prop and now when I boot it takes me to the grub recovery console. I have no idea what to do from here. Any advice would really help
[19:53] <cars__> RenzoreK: You may want to try #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:53] <deangrobler> thx
[19:53] <Jowi> Firefox issue: anyone know how to change default language when searching with google? just because of my (i guess) ip address location I get google.fr instead of my preffered google.co.uk
[19:53] <Daft_Punk> Jowi, in google, there should be a link to preferences, you can change your language options in there (i prefer using Elmer Fudd) :)
[19:54] <unop> Jowi, have you setup your homepage as google.com?
[19:54] <facundobatista> soundray: I'll try it in a few minutes, let me close some work I'm doing in that machine
[19:54] <standing_still> oke2.. sowry guys...
[19:54] <Jowi> unop, google.co.uk
[19:54] <standing_still> so many regulation in this open society..
[19:54] <standing_still> hehe
[19:54] <unop> Jowi, you should be able to set preferences then like Daft_Punk suggested
[19:54] <Jowi> Daft_Punk, i don't want to sign in. i just want to use google.co.uk to get english results
[19:54] <a59303> hello, I'm looking for help with audacity
[19:55] <balzac> I think I might name my new eee pc "HP Inkjet" so when I'm seefing on other people's wireless with air-crack, if they happen to notice my computer on their network, they might mistake it for their printer =]
[19:55] <unop> Jowi, i believe preferences can be set for when you don't log in too
[19:55] <soundray> standing_still: we have to have rules here -- this channel is on the brink of chaos, even if everyone is well-behaved.
[19:55] <Daft_Punk> Jowi, you dont have to sign in to go to preferences, it is just an option for google to change your language preferences
[19:55] <Jowi> unop, Daft_Punk : I delete cookies on close so that's not an option
[19:55] <standing_still> man... help me please.. just a simple newbie question..
[19:56] <Daft_Punk> Jowi, i didn't tell you to delete cookies...
[19:56] <balzac> standing_still: I haven't seen you ask any questions yet
[19:56] <unop> Jowi, set your homepage to something like this perhaps?  http://www.google.co.uk/webhp?complete=1&hl=en
[19:56] <soundray> standing_still: installing a new version of ALSA is not a newbie question
[19:56] <standing_still> i got an error message which can make me continue the ALSA installation after make command
[19:56] <balzac> ok, I see it now
[19:56] <snova> standing_still: this might already have been asked, but why do you have to build it yourself?
[19:56] <soundray> standing_still: try 'sudo apt-get install build-essential', then 'make' again
[19:56] <Jowi> unop, i am talking about the search field on the top right hand side beside the address bar
[19:57] <standing_still> allrite.. thnx mate..
[19:57] <RenzoreK> snova: I believe its support since my Ubuntu is a multimedia/web machine, so support wise, this affects users
[19:57] <standing_still> ill try it..later...
[19:57] <soundray> Jowi: I think this is something only Google can fix (I find it most annoying myself)
[19:57] <standing_still> thanx soundray
[19:58] <LogicalDash> whyz: I've played around with cairo-dock for a bit, it appears that it doesn't show me window titles unless I mouse over the icons, which is not very helpful when I've got 17 different OpenOffice windows and am trying to find the right document title
[19:58] <Jowi> soundray, it's a firefox3 thing. i'm sure of it. it looks up the info somewhere - i just have to find out where so i can adjust it to my liking :)
[19:59] <soundray> Jowi: if you're sure... :)  have you looked in about:config?
[19:59] <standing_still> by the way what is build essential ?
[19:59] <soundray> !info build-essential | standing_still
[19:59] <biouser> how to unzip without creating a new directory?
[19:59] <unop> Jowi, i believe you can adjust the keyword.URL option in about:config
[19:59] <soundray> !b-e | standing_still
[19:59] <biouser> but keeping all sub directories ,.,,
[19:59] <biouser> creating the subdirectories
[20:00] <gluonman> Does anyone know anything about creating an .iso directly from a CDROM? I used "dd if=/dev/cdrom of=file.iso" on my other computer and it worked fine. It's not working right now, though. I'm getting an I/O error.
[20:00] <biouser> within the zip
[20:00] <soundray> standing_still: it installs compilers and helpers for developing software
[20:00] <AidanPryde> hi, I have a rather strange problem: I have 3 Special Keys on my Keyboard and some time ago, I assigned the a shutdown command or something similar to the one labeled "Power". My Problem: I can't remember how I did it and want to change it, but whenever I touch the key -> shutdown
[20:00] <snova> RenzoreK: it's not support wise if you aren't asking a support question, i think. as interesting a topic as it is, i don't think it doesn't count as support unless you're having a problem with it.
[20:00] <unop> biouser, using the CLI or GUI?
[20:00] <balzac> whoo yeah, whoo yeah!
[20:00] <balzac> ubuntu-eee on my asus eee 900
[20:00] <soundray> gluonman: this normally indicates a fault, either with the CD itself or with the CD-ROM drive.
[20:01] <k20a>  is there a way to do a minimum install of ubuntu amd64? no extras at all
[20:01] <biouser> unop CLI
[20:01] <biouser> unop but either way...
[20:01] <jrib> !minimal | k20a
[20:01] <AidanPryde> anybody please?
[20:02] <gluonman> soundray, this same CD worked perfectly fine in my other computer when I ran the dd command. The CD will mount fine and display it's contents.
[20:02] <unop> biouser, there's the -d option to unzip that should help
[20:02] <soundray> AidanPryde: have a look in System-Preferences-Keyboard Shortcuts
[20:02] <k20a> ty jrib
[20:02] <AidanPryde> soundray: nope. There isn't even a command for "shutdown" there
[20:03] <jrib> AidanPryde: check if xbindkeys is running
[20:04] <AidanPryde> it is not installed
[20:04] <cars__> unop: I think I could handle it after I get the initial setup done, but https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EthernetOverFirewire tells me I have to compile a kernel with some things but not as modules.  Like I said, I'm new to building the kernel and it looks tricky.
[20:04] <sbeh> hi, sudo locale-gen creates a zombie-gzip-process, what can i do?>
[20:04] <biouser> unop $ unzip -d filename.zip /path/to/where/to/extract/            ?
[20:04] <Myxb> hi all! how do i turn off the bt led on a dell pc? i can turn off the bt itself but no the led. can't use hardware switch to leave wifi on...
[20:04] <Finnish> Anyone around who has been using Blueman to access internet, with a laptop and a phone?
[20:04] <soundray> AidanPryde: perhaps it runs /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh -- chmod -x this file to check
[20:05] <[Solars]> So i know you can dual boot, but can you virtualize one OS inside the other.. .i.e. Ubuntu inside WinXP64 (useing installed hdd from both OS)?
[20:05] <unop> biouser, almost.  unzip file.zip -d .  # . being the current directory
[20:05] <Mjateznik> Myxb: On my dell (E6500) there is a switch on the right side where you can turn of wireless and bluetooth, that also turns of the led.
[20:05] <soundray> !virtualization > [Solars]
[20:05] <a59303> hello, audacity won't record or play files, neither will creox input sound
[20:05] <shadowsurfer> [solars]yerp
[20:05] <LogicalDash> a5903, sounds to me like more of a problem with your sound card
[20:06] <[Solars]> soundray i ready that already, it talks virtualizing inside ubuntu
[20:06] <[Solars]> but want to virtulize inside xp
[20:06] <AidanPryde> soundray: I will try now, if I go offline, it didn't work :)
[20:06] <a59303> LogicalDash I had it working at first but then I messed with settings
[20:06] <Myxb> Mjateznik: my d630 has only one switch for both wifi and bt. i use wifi always but bt only occasionally.
[20:06] <unop> cars__, see the alternative way - second section
[20:07] <biouser> unop  that did the same thing
[20:07] <Mjateznik> Myxb: same here :( bad of them.
[20:07] <soundray> [Solars]: it's much the same -- just your software choices are different. Try virtualbox (free as in speech) and VMware Server (free as in beer)
[20:07] <unop> cars__, that way doesn't require compiling a kernel
[20:07] <Mjateznik> Myxb: but you should be abel to turn of the BT with software. Have your tried that?
[20:07] <barlrol> hey if i wanna be able to run xpsp2 in ubuntu do i need to install just the player or the server and the player for VMware
[20:08] <Jowi> unop, soundray, I found the solution - but not in about:config. it's actually in /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1/searchplugins/google.xml I need to add a param to force the default search language instead of getting it based on my location
[20:08] <cars__> unop: OK, Thanks
[20:08] <x2o> hey scai
[20:08] <soundray> Jowi: wow
[20:08] <x2o> jetzt funzt es erstmal, mal gucken
[20:08] <x2o> was ist denn ehci für ein modul
[20:08] <Jowi> soundray, yeah :-/
[20:08] <Sephr> just in case something goes wrong, does wubi fully support the x64 alternate installer?
[20:09] <Myxb> Mjateznik: the applet does not do that. i can turn off the radio manually, but not the led. it shines on :)
[20:09] <desheikh> barlrol: Youll need the server to install xp. The player can only play back already created virtual machines
[20:09] <unop> biouser, i guess there is no easy way then - if you know the name of the directory in the zip archive, you can do something like the following ...
[20:09] <gluonman> I'm having problems creating a .iso from my CD-ROM
[20:09] <pablo89> helo , when new gnome in repo ?
[20:09] <soundray> gluonman: if you have I/O errors, then there is a hardware fault.
[20:10] <unop> biouser, unzip file.zip -d . && mv directory_name/* . && rm -r directory_name
[20:10] <[Solars]> soundray seems like those virtually installs the OS insid ethe other OS,
[20:10] <unop> biouser, if you are adding dotfiles into the archive, you need to turn on dotglobbing too
[20:10] <gluonman> soundray, but I did this just yesterday after I had the problem, but I forgot the solution I found.
[20:10] <soundray> [Solars]: yes. I should repartition my raid back to use all my raid
[20:11] <biouser> unop but yeah there are some hidden things that I might be missing that way
[20:11] <julio> onde conseguismos tirar algumas duvidas do sistema
[20:11] <jrib> !pt | julio
[20:11] <[Solars]> then just do a virtual install?
[20:11] <soundray> [Solars]: you can always dual-boot
[20:11] <unop> biouser, then before you run the command, you need to have this.  shopt -s dotglob
[20:12] <[Solars]> soundray i want to be able to dual boot as well have access to ubuntu while in xp64
[20:12] <a59303> LogicalDash also I'm listening to music on the laptop now
[20:12] <julio> #ubuntu-pt
[20:12] <[Solars]> soundray thats what I am trying to occomplish
[20:12] <unop> julio, /j #ubuntu-pt
[20:12] <tsudot> Im using ubuntu 8.04, where can i find the httpd.conf file, as the one present under /etc/apache2 is empty
[20:12] <facundobatista>  soundray: now it seems to work ok, thank you!!
[20:12] <st3ph> [Solars]   how about vmware
[20:13] <unop> tsudot, refer to apache2.conf instead
[20:13] <soundray> [Solars]: there is a very easy solution: get a second PC
[20:13] <soundray> [Solars]: sorry, you didn't want to hear that.
[20:13] <[Solars]> soundray heh thats not so easy :P lol
[20:13] <akello> Hey Solars the best thing is to dual boot in the traditional way.......restart into each OS.
[20:14] <v3ctor> [Solars]: do you want to run ubuntu while running windows or do you just want to access the ubuntu partition from windows?
[20:14] <fred_> help!
[20:14] <fred_> i cant find an option for RAID 1 when installing Ubuntu
[20:14] <soundray> fred_: are you using the alternate install CD?
[20:14] <fonzarelli> how do i tell which repository I installed a package via using Synaptic or Apt?
[20:14] <st3ph> [Solars]   if u want both same time use vmware, should be what u want
[20:14] <[Solars]> v3ctor i want dual boot cabpility, and be able to run ubuntu from the hdd while in windows
[20:14] <fred_> im using the standard install CD they mailed me
[20:14] <fred_> theres another install cd?
[20:15] <unop> fonzarelli, apt-cache policy package_name
[20:15] <threethirty> I need to upgrade javascript in firefox 3.0.2  from 1.4 to 1.5, im on hardy any ideas
[20:15] <v3ctor> [Solars]: then you want something like virtualbox
[20:15] <[Solars]> st3ph erm i look into that dunno if thats going to accomplish what i watn (limited experince with VNware)
[20:15] <soundray> facundobatista: glad it works now
[20:15] <fonzarelli> thanks unop
[20:15] <cars__> [Solars]: Virtualbox has a seamless mode, which is great for running and using both OSs at once.
[20:15] <[Solars]> v3ctor virtualbox install a virtual OS
[20:15] <[Solars]> am i not correct?
[20:16] <v3ctor> [Solars]: yes
[20:16] <cars__> [Solars]: I find it runs faster and uses less resources than VMWare.
[20:16] <akello> Solars...try install ubuntu inside windows using Wubi.
[20:16] <[Solars]> akello not what i want to do :)
[20:16] <[Solars]> don't want a virtual install if i can skip it
[20:16] <st3ph> [Solars]   vmware is a virualbox u run xp or ubuntu in a second window while running ur main os
[20:16] <fred_> soundray:  im using the standard install cd that was mailed from ubuntu, is there another install disc that will allow me to select raid 1 partition type during install?
[20:16] <soundray> !alternate > fred_
[20:16] <fred_> k
[20:16] <soundray> !raid > fred_
[20:17] <kendrick> hey all.
[20:17] <fred_> thanks guys, i wish they would have the option enabled on the standard disc though :(
[20:17] <v3ctor> [Solars]: virtual is the only way to achieve what you want
[20:17] <[Solars]> cars__ so you saying i can run 2 OS from two different hdd at the same time
[20:17] <fred_> i need to get a box up in the next few hours lol
[20:17] <kendrick> is anyone here familiar with 'recordmydesktop'?
[20:17] <kendrick> i'm trying to use it on Ubuntu 8.04 on a Dell Inspiron 1525 and i cannot convince it to record sound coming out of apps
[20:17] <CaBlGuY> !firefox 3.0
[20:17] <kendrick> (i'm using KDE, and tried w/ and w/o 'arts' sound server running)
[20:18] <[Solars]> v3ctor starting to realize that, but want to make sure before i go through the hassels of redoing my raid and reformating
[20:18] <CaBlGuY> we got a deb for firefox 3.0 yet?
[20:18] <gluonman> soundray, I discovered that my problem is that I was required to be root. So putting sudo before dd worked. No hardware problems here.
[20:18] <v3ctor> [Solars]: you can just slap ntfs on the other drive and put you virtual disk on that
[20:19] <CaBlGuY> yes no?
[20:19] <akello> Anybody here to help with installing Yahoo! Messenger in ubuntu?
[20:19] <soundray> gluonman: you shouldn't have got an I/O error then, but a Permission denied
[20:19] <[Solars]> v3ctor that is an option i suppose
[20:19] <Melancholia> hi there....need some help with Checkinstall
[20:19] <cars__> [Solars]: The thing that's cool about VirtualBox is that you don't need a separate window to run it in with the seamless mode.  You can run two OSes at the same time, but one will be the host OS, running first.  You could install Ubuntu or XP in a virtual disk on another hard drive (or the same, if you want).
[20:19] <CaBlGuY> akello:  just install pidgen and you can use all IM with it..
[20:19] <v3ctor> [Solars]: that is what i do
[20:19] <CaBlGuY> !pidgen
[20:19] <gluonman> soundray, perhaps, but I noticed the same thing happening on some forums.
[20:20] <cars__> !pidgin > akello
[20:20] <v3ctor> [Solars]: i run ubuntu and windows in virtualbox
[20:20] <tsudot> thanks unop
[20:20] <CaBlGuY> thanks cars_
[20:20] <Melancholia> guys how can i get someone to talk to me?
[20:20] <[Solars]> v3ctor erm suppose i could that
[20:20] <v3ctor> [Solars]: also on seperate drives
[20:20] <jim_p> Melancholia: what is it?
[20:20] <CaBlGuY> Melancholia:   whatcha need?
[20:20] <snova> i just updated kmail and now it doesn't work. how do i downgrade to the older version?
[20:21] <gnuskool> Hi! I'm using a wubi install, so trying to symlink "my documents" in xp with this command, ln -s /host/Documents\ and\ Settings/username/My\ Documents ~  ...but the error is the link dosent exist, how can i fix that?
[20:21] <Melancholia> i need some help with Checkinstall
[20:21] <[Solars]> v3ctor but then i lose the ability to dual boot
[20:21] <v3ctor> [Solars]: virtualbox isn't that scary and there are people in #vbox that can help
[20:21] <jim_p> does anybody know how can i import .abw (abiword) documents to openoffice?
[20:21] <gnuskool> my bad, i think i've got it :D
[20:21] <CaBlGuY> Melancholia:  what exactly ya trying to do?
[20:21] <tuxedup> hello, I am loooking for an application that will allow me to take a directory of images and print them, however I want to be able to print 4 images per page.  Does anyone know of applicatios that cna do this?  Preferably in Kde thanks
[20:21] <phantomcircuit> Under the Places menu I have a bunch of gibberish
[20:21] <jim_p> Melancholia: what problem do you have with checkinstall?
[20:21] <facundobatista> bye
[20:22] <[Solars]> v3ctor not scared of it, just trying to figure out how to accomplish what i want
[20:22] <Melancholia> ok 1st it's my 1st time using x chat
[20:22] <v3ctor> [Solars]: first you must figure out exactly what it is you want
[20:22] <cars__> [Solars]: I think most of what you want (running one OS while running another) would be solved by using VirtualBox.
[20:22] <Melancholia> how can i send private messages here?
[20:23] <CaBlGuY> Melancholia:  congrads on using X..  it's sweet huh?  ;)
[20:23] <cheery> do somebody know how to read memtest results?
[20:23] <snova> Melancholia: don't.
[20:23] <CaBlGuY> Melancholia:  just click the name you want and send the message..
[20:23] <Myxb> hi all! how do i turn off the bt led on a dell pc? i can manually turn off the bt itself but no the led. can't use hardware switch to leave wifi on...
[20:23] <jim_p> Melancholia: right click on a user and select open conversation window
[20:23] <cheery> I'd like to get some sort of hint about which module from my mem is broken
[20:23] <Error> jest tu jakis polak?????
[20:24] <cheery> test|pass|failing address|good|bad|err-bits|bad|count|Chan
[20:24] <[Solars]> v3ctor basically what i want is the option to duelboot and be able to run ubunto from within windows using a dedicated hdd
[20:24] <[Solars]> dunno if that clears things up
[20:24] <v3ctor> cheery: does it give you a slot number?
[20:24] <Jowi> Myxb, can't you disable only BT in BIOS?
[20:24] <cheery> 3 | 0 | 00000000 -  0.0MB | dfdfdfdf | 00000000 | dfdfdfdf | 1 |
[20:24] <subone> is there an application i can edit a pdf with? i need to add links, bookmarks, and possibly remove/add/edit passwords
[20:24] <[Solars]> cars__ that only solves part of the problem I am facing
[20:24] <EarthLion> does shutdown -h now actually poweroff a system?
[20:24] <Melancholia> thanks jim
[20:24] <cheery> 3 | 0 | 00000000 -  0.0MB | 04040404 | 00000000 | 04040404 | 2 |
[20:24] <cheery> v3ctor, nope
[20:24] <jim_p> subone: pfdedit
[20:24] <ClaudioLago> someone from cyprus (country)?
[20:24] <phantomcircuit> Under the Places menu I have a bunch of gibberish
[20:24] <whyz> EarthLion, usually yes. if the hardware can handle it.
[20:24] <Myxb> Jowi: i need to use it occasionally and do not wan to reboot to switch it each time.
[20:24] <cheery> is there a way to make it give me the slot number?
[20:25] <CaBlGuY> Melancholia:  like this...
[20:25] <EarthLion> is sudo poweroff more reliable?
[20:25] <^chaoz^> help
[20:25] <Error> jest tu jakis polak
[20:25] <akello> Melancholia see my private message
[20:25] <ClaudioLago> someone from cyprus (country)?
[20:25] <jim_p> EarthLion: both of them are correct
[20:25] <whyz> EarthLion, eh. shutdown -h always works..... i don't know what poweroff is
[20:25] <subone> jim_p: pfdedit or pdfedit?
[20:25] <CaBlGuY> akello:  he's wants to do this.. <----
[20:25] <CaBlGuY> :p
[20:25] <jim_p> ClaudioLago: i am from greece :P
[20:25] <EarthLion> ok cool thanks guys
[20:25] <phantomcircuit> weird
[20:25] <jim_p> subone pdfedit, you are right
[20:26] <subone> jim_p: ty
[20:26] <cars__> [Solars]: I may have missed it.  Do you already have both OSes installed?
[20:26] <Derrike> Quick question: I made a USB install method (unetbootin netinstall) and it's installed TO the USB drive, not the hdd; Is there a (series of) command(s) that can get it there without going through another song and dance
[20:26] <CaBlGuY> !checkinstall Melancholia
[20:26] <CaBlGuY> hmmmm
[20:26] <[Solars]> cars__ I will have both of them installed for dualboot
[20:26] <v3ctor> cheery: not familiar with memtest
[20:26] <akello> Ubottu...are you human or script?
[20:27] <majnoon> 1 important thing on dual boot with windows ,install windows FIRST
[20:27] <Melancholia> akello,  Thanks
[20:27] <[Solars]> majnoon doing that now
[20:27] <soundray> !ot > ClaudioLago
[20:27] <linux_> hi ppl
[20:27] <majnoon> linux not picky but windows IS
[20:27] <akello> Melancholia....cheers
[20:27] <linux_> can some one help me whit a little big problem :D
[20:27] <[Solars]> might have to stop my install and start over if I cant figure out a resolution
[20:27] <CaBlGuY> hey linux_ how goes it?
[20:28] <cars__> [Solars]: So you want to do the traditional dual-boot (where you restart to boot each OS), but you also want to have the ability to boot one OS while simultaneously running the other?
[20:28] <linux_> i try to compile  yux but when i give make cmd is telling me make: *** [Makefile] Error 2
[20:28] <[Solars]> cars__ yes
[20:28] <CaBlGuY> no clue about yux...   someone else help lnux_?
[20:28] <cars__> [Solars]: I imagine you want the files to be the same as well?
[20:28] <linux_> is an alternativ YM client for linux
[20:28] <[Solars]> cars yepp
[20:28] <Melancholia> jim_p, ty :)
[20:29] <jim_p> you are welcome Melancholia
[20:29] <Jowi> Myxb, have you tried: sudo rmmod bluetooth ("sudo modprobe bluetooth" to enable it again)
[20:29] <akello> Can somebody help with Yahoo messenger installation in ubuntu?
[20:30] <linux_> akello
[20:30] <akello> Can somebody help with Yahoo messenger installation in ubuntu?
[20:30] <linux_> you can find .deb package
[20:30] <[Solars]> cars__ yepp
[20:30] <cheery> anyone familiar with memtest86?
[20:30] <linux_> if you search on google
[20:30] <Myxb> Jowi: yes the bt radion is off, but the LED is on, nevertheless.
[20:30] <phantomcircuit> $gedit
[20:30] <LogicalDash> I am looking for  a program that will show me, in a window, a list of all the open windows. Preferably a searchable list. Sometimes I have more windows open than I'd like to admit and the taskbar just doesn't show me enough.
[20:30] <Melancholia> jim_p, so wat about the Checkinstall?
[20:30] <phantomcircuit> Segmentation Fault
[20:31] <linux_> akello or download yux and try to install mayby you can fix the problem :D
[20:31] <akello> Linux: so it's impossible?
[20:31] <Melancholia> guys i just need to know how to edit the depends part
[20:31] <cars__> akello and linux_, There are many different alternative IM programs to use in Ubuntu.  Pidgin is one of them, so is Kopete.  They are both available to be installed by packages in the repository.
[20:31] <jim_p> Melancholia: i dont know what your problem is with checkinstall? if i have used it? yes once i did a deb file
[20:31] <chang-li> hi all, server 8.10 A6 is booting up with looks like 40x25 display . Is that configured in menu.lst?
[20:31] <akello> Yux....I've never heard about it!
[20:32] <linux_> search on sourceforge
[20:32] <v3ctor> [Solars]: there is a way to boot an existing linux install from virtualbox, i have not tried it and have no idea what impact would have
[20:32]  * kendrick guesses noone can help with recordmydesktop
[20:32]  * kendrick wanders to quieter channels :)
[20:32] <linux_> for the project and you will find the source code ....
[20:32] <comicinker> !intrepid | chang-li
[20:32] <Melancholia> jim_p,  i need to know how to edit the depends section
[20:32] <popey> KennethP: i use it
[20:32] <popey> er
[20:32] <popey> bum
[20:32] <cars__> [Solars]: There is the ability to allow the VM to write directly to the HDD, but I don't know how that would work, either, since you'd be running them basically from different "hardware".
[20:33] <Jowi> Myxb, I found this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/178872
[20:33] <chang-li> comicinker: yes intrepid, trying it out with a new package software, citadel.
[20:33] <cars__> [Solars]: Perhaps if you had a home directory each shared and could write to it would have less of an impact than sharing the entire root filesystem.  I could be way off with this
[20:34] <Melancholia> jim_p, i tried --requires but it the version of the dependency cannot be stored
[20:34] <jim_p> Melancholia: sorry i dont know that
[20:34] <jim_p> :(
[20:34] <jim_p> !checkinstall
[20:34] <azraelpc> I'm having issues getting the Flash Player to work
[20:34] <linux_> car_s Yux is a clone off YM for windows
[20:34] <Melancholia> jim_p,  thanks anyway :) np
[20:34] <azraelpc> I've installed flashplayer-nonfree using Synaptic already
[20:35] <Myxb> Jowi: i do not have that file on my system
[20:35] <LogicalDash> Is there a window list that i can run outside of a panel? I want it in its own window so that I can make it big and search through it.
[20:35] <chang-li> ubottu: i understand might be broken packages in intrepid, but the server comman line boots into 40x25 display. odd. is that fixable via grub men.lst?
[20:35] <azraelpc> any ideas, jim?
[20:35] <Melancholia> ***so any guys over there ever used Checkinstall ???
[20:36] <Melancholia> ubottu, thanks i know wat checkinstall is
[20:36] <PostersandGuitar> Hello, does anyone know the way to expand the size of the ubuntu partiton without reinstalling, or to allow Wine to access a mounted drive?
[20:37] <[Solars]> v3ctor how do you make that happen?
[20:37] <v3ctor> [Solars]: llike i said, i have not done it. maybe the guys in #vbox can help
[20:37] <cnorman> postersand : http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
[20:37] <linux_> oh i fix a problem and i get another one :((
[20:37] <linux_> someone know how to fix this :P
[20:37] <linux_>  cd  && /bin/sh ./config.status Makefile
[20:37] <linux_> /bin/sh: Can't open ./config.status

[20:37] <Tarantulafudge> I need some help with my wifi (realtek). I upgraded to 8.10 to get support for my rtl8187b wifi but the wireless is so slow its almost unusable!
[20:38] <azraelpc> cnorman, any help for me with adobe flash player?
[20:38] <Tarantulafudge> I was barely able to get irssi to function
[20:38] <Jowi> Myxb, the file depends on what hardware you have. look manually in /sys/devices/platform/
[20:38] <azraelpc> i've already installed flashplayer-nonfree using synaptic
[20:38] <cnorman> azrealpc : 8.10?
[20:38] <cnorman> ....04
[20:39] <azraelpc> yes, cnorman, the latest version
[20:39] <akello> what are u using, madwifi or ndiswrapper?
[20:39] <Tarantulafudge> Its not out yet but its the only way I can get online
[20:39] <Tarantulafudge> akello: you talking to me?
[20:39] <cnorman> apazraelpc: t-get install  flashplugin-nonfree
[20:39] <azraelpc> 8.04, cnorman
[20:39] <cnorman> apazraelpc: apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[20:40] <akello> Tarantu...yes
[20:40] <Tarantulafudge> akello: I tried ndiswrapper, that didn't work, I haven't tried madwifi
[20:40] <azraelpc> alright, ill try that
[20:40] <dykmn> server irc.krey.net
[20:41] <azraelpc> cnorman, it says i've installed the latest version already
[20:41] <Tarantulafudge> akello: my chipset is not atheros based
[20:41] <azraelpc> but i still get the 'GET FLASH' message in the Flash Player windows
[20:42] <cnorman> azraelpc: restarted browser session?
[20:42] <azraelpc> yup
[20:42] <PostersandGuitar> when I type ./configure it says command not found
[20:42] <cnorman> azraelpc : tried manual install?
[20:43] <Jowi> azraelpc, type "about:plugins" and see if application/x-shockwave-flash is enabled
[20:43] <azraelpc> new to linux, so no
[20:43] <dergringo_> Hmm I am not able to find gnome 2.24 in official repos
[20:43] <andril> hello all
[20:43] <akello> Tara...can I chat u privately.
[20:44] <Tarantulafudge> ugg everything is so slow >.<
[20:44] <azraelpc> Shockwave Flash is first on the list
[20:44] <Batty4> azraelpc, are you running any addons?  I kept getting a similar message due to addblocker pro and no script running. :)
[20:44] <dergringo_> Version: 1:<IP_ADDRESS>
[20:44] <JohnCope> hi alla
[20:44] <azraelpc> ah... yes im running adblocker
[20:44] <Jowi> azraelpc, is it enabled Yes or No?
[20:44] <azraelpc> ill uninstall that and see if that helps
[20:44] <azraelpc> Enabled, Yes
[20:45] <Batty4> azraelpc, don't uninstall, just enable what is not working.  Should be a choice to temporarily allow.
[20:45] <Tarantulafudge> !realtek
[20:45] <azraelpc> oh ok
[20:45] <LogicalDash> By default, when I have desktop effects enabled, windows that don't have focus will have transparent title bars. How do I make them not do that?
[20:45] <Batty4> It can be annoying, but I use noscript and add blocker now, so I have to temp allow most sites.
[20:46] <Jowi> azraelpc, strange. try with another profile - "firefox -ProfileManager" in a terminal. create and use a new profile and see if that works
[20:46] <cars__> Batty4: I can't browse without them.
[20:46] <Batty4> cars__  I just started to use them when I installed Ubuntu on Sunday.  Kind of used to it now.  Used to *nix from Centos at work...
[20:47] <azraelpc> ok
[20:47] <yigal> anyone know how to create a network so two computers can use conduit to sync. evolution data?
[20:47] <TigranG> How can I add scripts to be launched once logged in on an ubuntu live cd?
[20:47] <pushnell> Hey all.  Quick noob question: if I have a 686 processor, should I be running generic or 386?
[20:48] <yigal> pushnell: my guess is generic
[20:48] <snova> how do i downgrade a package?
[20:48] <Jowi> pushnell, generic
[20:48] <Batty4> Just curious, as I know this is the wrong channel, but plenty of brilliant people here.  I've been seeing a lot of PHP and exe downloaders for various sites and I watch tons of streaming video while at work.  I wrote my first java program which grabbed almost a full season from a site.  Though I'm running into protection issues.  Thus I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge about doing so..
[20:49] <Jowi> !generic

[20:50] <TigranG> How can I add scripts to be launched once logged in on an ubuntu live cd?
[20:51] <jrib> TigranG: nothing will get saved that you do on a regular live cd
[20:51] <Fishscene> Hi. I'm trying to remove a directory... apparently there has been some changes to the command rmdir...
[20:51] <TigranG> jrib: I know. I'm asking how would I get a script onto the cd to run at startup.
[20:52] <Batty4> Fishscene, I use rm -rf
[20:52] <jrib> Fishscene: not really.  You probably want to use rm -r though
[20:52] <snova> Fishscene: rmdir can only get rid of directories. it can't remove files within them.
[20:52] <jrib> !startup > TigranG
[20:52] <zhaozhou> Hmm, i can't seem to get the g-keys on my g15 v.2 working. The g15daemon is in place and working properly, but xbindkeys can't see the buttons beeing pressed at all.
[20:52] <Fishscene> ah. just a sec
[20:52] <akello> TigranG...you can make your own live cd using popular tools like reconstructor with all the scripts you want.
[20:52] <jrib> !remaster > TigranG
[20:52] <yigal> so no one here is using conduit to sync their devices?
[20:52] <Batty4> Fishscene, rm -rf directory name and goodbye no more files/directories there.
[20:52] <PostersandGuitar> sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0777, should be 0440
[20:52] <Sephr> just in case something goes wrong, does wubi fully support the x64 alternate installer?
[20:52] <Fishscene> Perfect. Thanks
[20:52] <nicodarious> hello.  does anyone know if there's a problem with Ubuntu and the suspend/hibernate activities?
[20:52] <PostersandGuitar> what do I do? sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0777, should be 0440
[20:52] <Fishscene> Batty4, yes. That's what I wanted :)
[20:52] <jrib> PostersandGuitar: have you run any chmod commands recently?
[20:53] <Jowi> zhaozhou, does "xev" in a terminal register them?
[20:53] <megaflow> !startup > multiverse
[20:53] <megaflow> !startup > megaflow
[20:53] <nicodarious> i'm trying to play with it a bit and had it working until an update thatwas automatically recieved today... but i can't figure out what brok it.
[20:53] <PostersandGuitar> jrip: yes chmod 777 / or something like that
[20:53] <jrib> PostersandGuitar: recursively right?
[20:53] <PostersandGuitar> jrib: I don't know that that means
[20:53] <yigal> wow
[20:53] <jrib> PostersandGuitar: you had a -r or -R after the chmod?
[20:53] <PostersandGuitar> jrib: -R
[20:53] <zhaozhou> Jowi: nope, nothing.
[20:54] <jim_p> does anybody know how can i import .abw (abiword) documents to openoffice?
[20:54] <Jowi> zhaozhou, so there is either a driver missing or something else
[20:54] <jrib> PostersandGuitar: you've broken your box.  Backup your data and reinstall.  Why would you run that command?
[20:54] <Batty4> PostersandGuitar, Recursively basically means go into subdirectories also.
[20:54] <PostersandGuitar> I have to reinstall?!
[20:54] <zhaozhou> Jowi: Right. I'll google around.
[20:54] <PostersandGuitar> There's no other way?
[20:54] <zhaozhou> Jowi: Thanks.
[20:54] <W1MNK> unable to enter text on Unbutu 8.10 appliance, latest VMWare player running on Vista 32 Business
[20:54] <jrib> PostersandGuitar: no, not really.  Why did you run that command?
[20:54] <Sephr> asking again, does wubi fully support installing the x64 alternate installer?
[20:54] <jrib> W1MNK: see the last entry in the /topic
[20:55] <PostersandGuitar> Misread an instruction
[20:55] <jrib> W1MNK: you should probably check if it happens with 8.04.  If it does, then you should ask the vmware channel
[20:55] <snova> how do i downgrade a package to an older version?
[20:55] <Ryushi> Hello
[20:55] <jrib> snova: sudo apt-get install PACKAGE=VERSION
[20:55] <snova> jrib; oh, thanks.
[20:55] <PostersandGuitar> Isn't there a way to undo an action, or restore to a previous state?
[20:56] <PostersandGuitar> ?
[20:56] <jrib> PostersandGuitar: no.  What you have effectively done is taken a word like "peanut" and changed every letter to 'x'.  So now you have 'xxxxxx' and are asking to reverse it
[20:57] <snova> jrib: why, what did he do? mess up permissions?
[20:57] <PostersandGuitar> Linux has no restore function?
[20:57] <urthmover> peanuts are good
[20:57] <jrib> snova: yeah, recursive chmod to 777 on all of /
[20:57] <Batty4> PostersandGuitar, if you want undo Linux is not right for you.  Just be careful what you do with root.  Does ls -lR /etc/sudoers display more than one file?  I only have one there.
[20:57] <urthmover> bacula can do backups in linux
[20:57] <W1MNK> jrib, TU for advice, will check now.
[20:57] <unop> PostersandGuitar, not for something like this, no
[20:57] <jrib> PostersandGuitar: I can't even think of an instance where recursively changing permissions to 777 makes sense
[20:57] <PostersandGuitar> I mistyped!
[20:58] <snova> whoa. well, resinstallation would fix everything, but why can't he just fix the perms? it'd take a while, but better than reinstalling!
[20:58] <PostersandGuitar> I thought that I should put a / at the end of it to mean inside the current directory
[20:58] <unop> Batty4, that should only list one file anyway
[20:58] <jrib> snova: how do you propose he fix them?
[20:58] <Batty4> PostersandGuitar, chmod 440 /etc/sudoers should correct.
[20:58] <jrib> PostersandGuitar: / is root
[20:58] <Batty4> unop Thanks. :)
[20:58] <Jowi> PostersandGuitar, root is all-powerful. the system trust you (sometimes that is risky)
[20:59] <jrib> Batty4, PostersandGuitar: what Batty4 suggested will not work.  There are plenty of other files that should not be 777
[20:59] <unop> Batty4, i'm just wondering how you thought that would list more than one file?
[20:59] <bakarat> howcome network manager can't seem to play nice with /etc/network/interfaces?
[20:59] <PostersandGuitar> I'll reinstall it yet again.
[20:59] <PostersandGuitar> By the way, is it true that updating GVFS will wreck the system?
[20:59] <hateball> bakarat: it's the way it's designed
[20:59] <unop> PostersandGuitar, what you could do if you have a live CD  is propogate the permissions on the live CD's files to the real install
[20:59] <jrib> PostersandGuitar: come here before you run commands you don't understand and make sure they are safe next time
[21:00] <bakarat> hateball: well i'm having a bit of trouble with my bridge which bridges over the connection that network-manager is attending to
[21:00] <unop> PostersandGuitar, though that takes some work (and loads of patience)
[21:00] <Batty4> unop I installed ubuntu on Sunday, I just know that I have one file there.
[21:00] <jim_p> does anybody know how can i import .abw (abiword) documents to openoffice?
[21:00] <snova> you have a point. there are too many files with differing permissions to fix manually.
[21:00] <PostersandGuitar> I'll go reinstall
[21:00] <snova> it would take too long, and you'd miss a few in /usr/share more than likely.
[21:00] <snova> he left.
[21:00] <unop> Batty4, ok, but your command, it's to list one file only - even if you had /etc/sudoers2, /etc/sudoers3, etc
[21:01] <unop> snova,  there's always chmod --reference -- prop that up with find and you have a recipe
[21:01] <krussell> test please ignore
[21:01] <snova> jrib: regarding package versions, which number in the long string i see is the right one to give to apt-get
[21:01] <unop> snova, though, it won't rectify all permissions
[21:01] <crd1b> jim_p: save them from abiword in some compatible format (.odf or .rtf)
[21:02] <jrib> snova: whatever apt-cache policy shows
[21:02] <snova> unop: that wouldn't really fix things, it'd just change everything to something else.
[21:02] <Scunizi> !resolution
[21:02] <jim_p> crd1b: the files (20+) were sent to me through email and i dont have abiword install (and neither i want to install it)
[21:02] <Batty4> unop I understand what the command does.  From what I read he changed permissions on that file.  So I was giving instructions per that one file.  I guess I missed the rest of the discussion.  Also I do not know the internals of ubuntu yet.  I will... :)
[21:03] <unop> snova, what? that something else is hopefully the original permissions .. permissions of files on the live CD, shouldn't differ from them on an install (the files that matter anyway)
[21:03] <Vezir> so when is 8.10 slated to ship?
[21:03] <unop> !8.10
[21:03] <snova> unop: oh, i see. good idea.
[21:03] <mystery> Hi everyone
[21:03] <snova> unop: too bad he already left.
[21:04] <snova> unop: but the live cd wouldn't have everything, a lot would slip through.
[21:04] <sbeh> hi, "localedef --no-archive --magic=20051014 -i en_US -c -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8" hangs at 100% cpu reproducable and "strace -p `pidof localedef`" gives no output, what can i do to determine whats causing this problem?
[21:04] <mystery> Does anyone know how to install window media player 10 using wine
[21:04] <unop> snova, i did say that
[21:04] <sbeh> mystery: use mplayer
[21:04] <crd1b> jim_p: I'm not aware of anything other than abiword that can open them
[21:05] <jim_p> mystery: why do you want all that bloat?
[21:05] <crd1b> abiword is quite small though
[21:05] <alec> im trying to install xubuntu on a power pc, and i have some questions.
[21:05] <unop> !ask | alec
[21:05] <jim_p> crd1b: abiword is small, but my files are many! anyway thanks for your kelp
[21:05] <jim_p> *help
[21:05] <mystery> Sbeh: I downloaded a program that im running on wine and it gives me an error mesage saying that it needs windows media player to run properly
[21:06] <alec> unop: sorry, im wondering if there is a way to install xubuntu without going through the setup wizard
[21:06] <snova> mystery: what is it?
[21:06] <mrtubby> is there a list of what default groups do what... aka where can i figure out what adding a user to adm allows them to do
[21:06] <Fishscene> alec, you may be able to setup an "OEM install" using the alternative cd
[21:06] <megaflow> Can I ask about not asking questions before I ask a question about a question I have?
[21:06] <wits_> Hi, my laptop's wifi isn't working or even registering, even though all documentation says it should be.  What should I do?
[21:06] <unop> alec, i'm not sure what you mean - as the only way to install ubuntu is via the setup wizard
[21:06] <Fishscene> But that's as far as my knowledge goes
[21:06] <jrib> mystery: did you check appdb.winehq.org?
[21:06] <mystery> I downloaded a program called testout that is a tutorial for A+ certification
[21:06] <sbeh> mystery: i think the program needs some libs/dll of wmp, a wine-installation based on a real installed windows could help
[21:06] <snova> i'm getting an error trying to run kmail after an upgrade: 'kmail: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libkmailprivate.so: undefined symbol: _ZN15KFolderTreeItem13setFolderSizeEx'
[21:07] <alec> unop: ok, that answers my question.
[21:07] <unop> alec, though, you're safer off using the alternative CD and the debian-installer it uses
[21:07] <PEAKTOP> hi all :)
[21:07] <mystery> sbeh: ok im kind of new to ubuntu im a lil confused
[21:07] <alec>  unop: where can i download the alternative cd
[21:08] <ompaul> !away > PEAKTOP^sleep
[21:08] <crd1b> jim_p: abiword appears to have a command line converter: abiword file.abw --to rtf -o file.rtf
[21:08] <unop> !alternative | alec
[21:08] <sbeh> mystery: this does nothing have todo with ubuntu, just read wine-documentation und which methods to start from
[21:08] <Finnish> How do I see in console how much is net bandwith in/out at the moment?
[21:08] <Sephr> will using wubi to install 64-bit ubuntu using the install in windows option (on 32-bit windows) restrict you to 32-bit things?
[21:08] <snova> Finnish: ifconfig
[21:08] <mystery> ok
[21:08] <jim_p> crd1b: will it convert to something like a .txt?
[21:08] <unop> Finnish, ntop might help
[21:08] <sbeh> mystery: i've you're new to not-windows in generall, you should besser use the system some time, befor you start to frickl :P
[21:09] <alec> unop: the disk boots, but it runs impossibly slow and the screen is black on the right side and the top of the screen is running up from the bottom if that makes any sense at all.
[21:09] <jim_p> Finnish: like ifconfig?
[21:09] <wits_> Can somebody help me troubleshoot my wifi?
[21:09] <crd1b> jim_p: abiword --help lists txt as one of the choices for --to
[21:09] <unop> alec, is this with the regular CD?
[21:09] <sbeh> snova: try to update all deps of kmail (ldd /usr/lib/libkmailprivate.so could help too)
[21:09] <jim_p> thanks crd1b i will give it a shot
[21:09] <Sephr> it seems the last 3 questions I asked in #ubuntu over the last 2 hours have been ignored
[21:09] <jim_p> wits_: what happened?
[21:09] <mija> hi all
[21:09] <jim_p> Sephr: what di you ask?
[21:09] <ikonia> Sephr: no, people may not have the answer
[21:09] <jim_p> hi
[21:10] <mija> is some one advanced with bash scripting? my one liner will not work
[21:10] <snova> sbeh: good idea. i think there's still a lot of x related libraries left to update.
[21:10] <alec> i downloaded xubuntu feisty fawn, I am assuming its the regular one.
[21:10] <Sephr> well here were 2 questions:
[21:10] <unop> mija, ask your question - if it's complex, there's #bash
[21:10] <Sephr> 1: can wubi install the alternate x64 ubuntu?
[21:10] <snova> Sephr: two hours is a long time to scroll back up the window. try asking again :)
[21:10] <wits_> jim_p: I'm not exactly sure, but my wifi doesn't work even though all Ubuntu documentation says that it should be supported
[21:10] <Sephr> 2: will using wubi to install 64-bit ubuntu using the install in windows option (on 32-bit windows) restrict you to 32-bit things?
[21:11] <mija> if [ lynx -head -dump http://some.ssh.server:22/ | grep SSH=SS* ]; then echo "right"; else echo "restore";fi  ----------- i get everytime a restore then a right.... ;(
[21:11] <alec> unop: will the alternate cd possibly remedy the problem?
[21:11] <ikonia> Sephr: 1.) the alternative cd - is the same base system as the desktop, they are identical 2.) no - ubuntu will boot the kernel arch you install
[21:11] <jim_p> Sephr: both of them are difficult and requre to know about WUBI, not ubuntu or linux
[21:11] <Sephr> and 3: do I need the alternate ubuntu to supported my raid drives if I install it under windows
[21:11] <jim_p> 3) depends on your raid
[21:11] <ikonia> Sephr: what setup is your raid drives (hardware raid/fake raid/windows raid
[21:11] <unop> alec, well, it possibly could -- as it does not load the graphics drivers during install - though you will have to spend time setting that up when finished.
[21:11] <ompaul> Sephr, have a look here it might help - it is the official help http://wubi-installer.org/support.php
[21:11] <sbeh> mija: grep SSH=SS without asterisk
[21:11] <Sephr> jim_p: RAID-0
[21:12] <ikonia> Sephr: hardware/fake/windows raid ?
[21:12] <unop> mija, you do not need to use [ there
[21:12] <jim_p> wits_: what wifi card do you have?
[21:12] <Sephr> hardware RAID
[21:12] <ikonia> Sephr: raid0 is a dangerous technology, more so for cross-platform file systems
[21:12] <sbeh> hi, "localedef --no-archive --magic=20051014 -i en_US -c -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8" hangs at 100% cpu reproducable and "strace -p `pidof localedef`" gives no output, what can i do to determine whats causing this problem?
[21:12] <alec> unop: ok. thanks ill give that a try.
[21:12] <unop>  if lynx -head -dump http://some.ssh.server:22/ | grep SSH=SS* ; then echo "right"; else echo "restore";fi
[21:12] <ikonia> Sephr: is the raid controller on the motherboard ?
[21:12] <Sephr> yes
[21:12] <ikonia> Sephr: then it's fake raid
[21:12] <ikonia> Sephr: I suggest you don't attempt to use that with linux
[21:12] <ikonia> Sephr: even less so with raid 0
[21:12] <jim_p> ikonia got me
[21:12] <unop> sbeh, he might want the asterisk - it is a valid regex metacharacter
[21:12] <mija> how i can made it with asteriks
[21:12] <mija> or something similar
[21:12]  * Sarunas labas vakaras
[21:12] <jim_p> wits_: what wifi card do you have?
[21:13] <mija> its for auto restore servers
[21:13] <unop> mija, well, what are you hoping to grep there?
[21:13] <Sephr> well ikonia, there has to be a way to install ubuntu on fake raid
[21:13] <agurchik> hello people
[21:13] <ikonia> Sephr: no there doesn't
[21:13] <mija> make a try with
[21:13] <wits_> jim_p: It's an Intel card - I think it was 2200BG
[21:13] <unop> !enter | mija
[21:13] <mija> lynx -head -dump http://apt.bash.ch:22/ | grep SSH
[21:13] <agurchik> [mija] labas amzule
[21:13] <agurchik> uj
[21:13] <agurchik> :D
[21:13] <ikonia> Sephr: but there is, but a.) don't do it through wubi b.) don't do it at all, it's a terrible technology c.) don't use raid 0 for your raid disks
[21:13] <Sarunas> ;]]
[21:13] <jim_p> wits_: give me a sec to check my "logs"
[21:14] <unop> mija, why are you using grep there? i mean, what exactly are you filtering?
[21:14] <wits_> jim_p: Cool, thanks
[21:14] <agurchik> jim_p, o tu nepisk proto
[21:14] <agurchik> :DDD
[21:14] <hiptobecubic> what?
[21:14] <agurchik> don't wory by happy
[21:14] <jim_p> wits_: meanwhile, do an lspci / lsudb to find out if it really is intel 2200BG
[21:14] <mija> unop, if i get a wrong respones (not SSH)  i will start the restore script
[21:14] <mija> the echo's are only for testing
[21:15] <wits_> jim_p: Yeah, lspci says it's an Intel 2200 BG
[21:15] <unop> mija,  if lynx -head -dump http://some.ssh.server:22/ | grep 'SSH' ; then echo "right"; else echo "restore";fi
[21:16] <jim_p> wits_: try this " sudo modprobe ipw2200 "
[21:16] <Guest22467> argggg!
[21:17] <Guest22467> I cant get my screen resolution sorted
[21:17] <Guest22467> nice computer
[21:17] <mija> unop, why im don't need the =
[21:17] <Guest22467> shit resolution!
[21:17] <ikonia> Guest22467: watch your langauge please
[21:17] <snova> is it really that dangerous to enable the intrepid repos?
[21:17] <the_eraser> i dont like gnome
[21:17] <wits_> jim_p: Okay, done
[21:17] <Guest22467> sorry
[21:17] <tpg> hello, i have a problem regarding Firefox
[21:17] <ikonia> Guest22467: state your problem clearly
[21:17] <ikonia> oops
[21:17] <ikonia> snova: yes
[21:17] <megaflow> What does "What is "Individual CPU nice time" mean?
[21:17] <ikonia> Sephr: yes
[21:17] <tpg> When i start Firefoxi get a blank page(while the settings are turned on for: show home page), when i visit a website i dont see the link of the website in the link-bar.. nor can i bookmark any website
[21:17] <FloodBot1> ikonia: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:17] <snova> ikonia: why?
[21:17] <ikonia> snova: because they are not stable
[21:17] <tpg> Im using Ubuntu 8.04.1 atm with Openbox, without openbox its normal i think
[21:17] <jim_p> wits_: does your wireless work now?
[21:17] <unop> mija, because that's not how grep works - it returns a true status if it find what you specify, or it returns false otherwise - you are just testing this status with if
[21:17] <ikonia> snova: and they are not to be used with any OS other than 8.10
[21:18] <unop> mija, in this case, if grep finds SSH, it returns 0 (TRUE) - which tells if to run the command -  echo "right"
[21:18] <mija> ah lol.... now i understand... thanks a lot for your help unop.
[21:18] <snova> ikonia: all right. i guess since i haven't even completely updated to hardy yet, i should stay out of the beta stuff for now.
[21:18] <jim_p> tpg: link bar? like "address bar?
[21:18] <tpg> thats right
[21:18] <Faithman> howdy
[21:18] <ikonia> snova you should not use 8.10 repos with 8.04
[21:18] <ikonia> snova: ever
[21:19] <jim_p> tpg: remove every tool on the toolbar and re-add it
[21:19] <Guest22467> can someone please help me sort out my screan res.
[21:19] <Mimi> does pulseaudio work already? i mean, can i listen to sounds from diferent programs now?
[21:19] <ikonia> Guest22467: state your issue clearly and accuratly
[21:19] <fimp> hi
[21:19] <the_eraser> is intrepid alpha stable for use yet?
[21:19] <ikonia> the_eraser: no
[21:19] <ikonia> the_eraser: it's not been released, so it's not stable
[21:19] <megaflow> What does "What is "Individual CPU nice time" mean?
[21:19] <ikonia> the_eraser: it's not due out for another month
[21:20] <Mimi> !resolution  | Guest22467,
[21:20] <the_eraser> ikonia: ok
[21:20] <tpg> ok, i will try that
[21:20] <ikonia> megaflow: nice is "prority" on a cpu so an application can have "priority" on individual cpu
[21:20] <vassler> hello: any channels deticated to autoicity?
[21:20] <ikonia> vassler: search
[21:20] <ikonia> vassler: this is ubuntu support, not an channel list
[21:20] <aantn> hello
[21:20] <vassler> i know
[21:21] <tpg> jim_p: the toolbar of firefox?
[21:21] <fimp> do you know why Amarok global keys do not work?
[21:21] <vassler> where do i get help with my problem
[21:21] <aantn> I just submitted a sponsorship form for UDS, but I received an error page
[21:21] <megaflow> What does "Individual CPU sys time" mean?
[21:21] <ikonia> vassler: depends on your problem
[21:21] <Guest22467> Thanks ubottu!!
[21:21] <jim_p> tpg: yes
[21:21] <Guest22467> whoever you are
[21:21] <ikonia> megaflow: I've just told you
[21:21] <ikonia> megaflow: scroll back up
[21:21] <Stavros> is there a wordlist in ubuntu?
[21:21] <Mimi> Guest22467,  that was me ^^  hope it worked
[21:22] <megaflow> ikona:  you told me about nice
[21:22] <ikonia> Stavros: what do you mean by word list
[21:22] <megaflow> I'm asking about sys time.
[21:22] <megaflow> see:  Individual CPU sys time
[21:22] <ikonia> megaflow: I explained
[21:22] <unop> Stavros,  /usr/share/dict/words  ??
[21:22] <Stavros> ikonia: like, the list of words to check passwords against, to prevent common words
[21:22] <megaflow> ikonia:  You explained nice
[21:22] <Stavros> unop: there's nothing there for me :/
[21:22] <ikonia> megaflow: this is not an ubuntu question, is a generic linux quesiton
[21:22] <ikonia> megaflow: no - re-read it
[21:22] <ikonia> Stavros: cracklib is common
[21:22] <vassler> does anyone know how to increace volume on a mp3 file
[21:22] <vassler> ??
[21:23] <megaflow> nice is "prority" on a cpu so an application can have "priority" on individual cpu
[21:23] <ikonia> vassler: re-encode it
[21:23] <AshyIsMe> hello
[21:23] <Stavros> ikonia: isn't there something installed on every linux system?
[21:23] <unop> Stavros, try installing the  dictionaries-common package
[21:23] <Stavros> ikonia: something like what unop mentioned
[21:23] <Mimi> vassler,    use  audacity
[21:23] <AshyIsMe> so is the compiz expo feature meant to be so crap?
[21:23] <Fishscene> How do I get a list of running processes?
[21:23] <Stavros> unop: ah, thanks
[21:23] <megaflow> I'm asking "What is 'Individual CPU sys time'?".
[21:23] <ikonia> Stavros: cracklib
[21:23] <AshyIsMe> it just zooms out and shows the virtual desktops
[21:23] <vassler> mimi: any idea how i do that?
[21:23] <ikonia> megaflow: its nice on an indiviual cpu - as I said
[21:23] <AshyIsMe> that's pretty useless
[21:23] <ikonia> megaflow: this is "linux" help, not ubuntu support you may have beeter luck in ##linux
[21:23] <Mimi> vassler,  Effect -> Amplify
[21:24] <vassler> mimi: thank you!
[21:24] <Mimi> :)
[21:24] <megaflow> megaflow: this is "linux" help
[21:24] <megaflow> ??
[21:24] <Stavros> vassler: you can use mp3gain
[21:24] <ikonia> megaflow: yes, this channel is for ubuntu support, not generic linux help
[21:24] <unop> !linux
[21:24] <Stavros> vassler: to normalise it
[21:24] <Guest22467> mimi, I just get a response that say's "no such file directory
[21:24] <Stavros> the dict was in cracklib2, thanks
[21:25] <ikonia> Stavros: didn't I say that 2 times ?
[21:25] <ElijahDuBarryVT> What type must be my swap partition, primary or logical, and my boot partition - primary or logical, and what must be placement, begibing or end? Thanks!
[21:25] <tpg> jim_p: it seems like editing the toolbar doesnt really work, i have found 2 errors though in the error console
[21:25] <unop> Stavros, dict is provided by many packages - cracklib is just one of them
[21:25] <ElijahDuBarryVT> What type must be my swap partition, primary or logical, and my boot partition - primary or logical, and what must be placement, begibing or end? Thanks!
[21:25] <unop> ElijahDuBarryVT, stop repeating
[21:25] <ikonia> ElijahDuBarryVT: doesn't matter
[21:25] <ElijahDuBarryVT> sorry
[21:25] <megaflow> What is "Individual CPU sys time"?
[21:25] <ElijahDuBarryVT> are you shure?
[21:25] <ikonia> megaflow: stop asking
[21:26] <ikonia> megaflow: 1.) I've told you 2.) this is not an ubuntu support question
[21:26] <tpg> jim_p: 3 errors auctully now
[21:26] <Stavros> unop: i installed dictionaries-common and it didn't provide that file
[21:26] <Stavros> ikonia: you did, i was confirming
[21:26] <ikonia> Stavros: ahhh good
[21:26] <Stavros> ikonia: but it seems that it's a french wordlist
[21:26] <Mimi> Guest22467,  at which step do you get that message
[21:26] <ikonia> Stavros: you can get seperate word lists for languages and topics
[21:26] <jim_p> tpg: i dont know then. the error console i think shows errors related to pages, like some css fault
[21:27] <unop> Stavros, running  dpkg -S /usr/share/dict/words  gives me wamerican, dictionaries-common: /usr/share/dict/words
[21:27] <megaflow> ikonia:  Who are you?
[21:27] <Stavros> ikonia: i don't really need one, i remember that linux had an english one preinstalled and wanted to find out where it was
[21:27] <Stavros> unop: let me run that
[21:27] <Guest22467> well I just type in what you asked starting from << to >> and then pushed enter and this time all it gave me was '>'
[21:27] <ikonia> megaflow: no-one, and it doesn't matter, that doesn't change the fact that I've told you and it's not an ubuntu question
[21:27] <sullyva86> how come firefox session restore doesn't work? I have to manually close firefox because if it crashes or a logout/restart without closing it first then it doesn't save pages?
[21:27] <unop> Stavros, as does.  apt-file search /usr/share/dict/words
[21:27] <alex_dinamo> guys... I have a question... shouldn't there be a hotplug script on /etc/init.d for Ubuntu 8.04?
[21:27] <ikonia> alex_dinamo: hotplug is dead
[21:27] <ikonia> alex_dinamo: udev intergrated it a good few releases ago
[21:27] <megaflow> ikonia:  Just ignore my posts if you are no one.  You are rude.  back off.
[21:27] <ikonia> alex_dinamo: about 1.5 years
[21:27] <Stavros> unop: only dictionaries-common for me, hmm
[21:27] <tpg> jim_p: ok thanks for your assistance, do you happen to know any way reinstall Firefox or?
[21:28] <alex_dinamo> ikonia, I see...
[21:28] <ikonia> megaflow: stop taking the channel offtopic
[21:28] <ilembitov> Hi, all. Can anyone give me a link to screenshots of the 8.10 artwork? I believe, today is artwork freeze
[21:28] <Stavros> unop, ikonia: anyway thank you both
[21:28] <unop> alex_dinamo, only if you have hotplug installed
[21:28] <ikonia> ilembitov: join #ubuntu+1
[21:28] <babaklinux> A music messaging session has been requested. Please click the MM icon to accept.
[21:28] <babaklinux> my pidof for firefox is 6290 but when I type killall 6290 this error appear 6290: no process killed
[21:28] <babaklinux>  why?
[21:28] <megaflow> ikonia:  you are wierd.
[21:28] <megaflow> ikonia:  cool out
[21:28] <ikonia> megaflow: re-read my responses and you'll see the resposes
[21:28] <unop> babaklinux, because you need kill not killall
[21:28] <ikonia> megaflow: sorry, you'll see the answer, but your question is nothing to do with ubuntu - so offtopic here as I've said
[21:28] <hagna> hardware acceleration has been off ever since I tried to fix X in the recovery menu.  How can I get it back?
[21:28] <theCzar> hey guys, i have a question, I have a private and public key for ssh, how do I encrypt a file with one of those keys?  Or are ssh keys only useful for ssh?  would i need to use something else?
[21:28] <biouser> how to recursively map one directory tree to an empty folder with ln -s, symbolic link?
[21:28] <Mimi> ilembitov,  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork?action=show&redirect=ArtworkTeam
[21:29] <alex_dinamo> ikonia: ok... by any chance, do you know how to get a Laserjet 1020 working on 8.04 now there is no htplug?
[21:29] <unop> babaklinux, your command is looking for a process named 6290
[21:29] <jarco_> my webcam seems to have very weird images. i have msi m677 someone has drivers?
[21:29] <snova> i've been told that it's not a good idea to enable intrepid repos, but is it reasonably safe to download, say, half a dozen individual packages for purposes of compiling sources that depend on them?
[21:29] <ikonia> alex_dinamo: udev works in the same way as hotplug (basiclly)
[21:29] <babaklinux> unop: thanks
[21:29] <jim_p> tpg: remove it >> sudo apt-get remove firefox --purge, delete a folder inside your /home named .mozilla and averything will return to 0. install after that
[21:29] <ikonia> alex_dinamo: udev now contains the hotplug service
[21:29] <ElijahDuBarryVT> What is the diferent between sda and hda?
[21:29] <unop> theCzar, the gpg manpage should tell you how to encrypt a file
[21:29] <ikonia> alex_dinamo: /etc/udev.d for the rules,
[21:29] <tpg> ok, thanks
[21:29] <ikonia> ElijahDuBarryVT: old name format for disks and new
[21:29] <alex_dinamo> ikonia: ok, let me have a look
[21:29] <snova> ElijahDuBarryVT: i think it has something to do with the hd type.
[21:29] <ElijahDuBarryVT> who is new?
[21:30] <ikonia> alex_dinamo: works int he same way as hotplug, just doesn't pass hotplug -> udev, just does udev
[21:30] <ikonia> ElijahDuBarryVT: hda=old sda=new
[21:30] <ElijahDuBarryVT> thanks :)
[21:30] <theCzar> unop: oh so I should use gpg?  ok thanks! (sorry I'm kind of a n00b at public/private key encryption)
[21:30] <ikonia> ElijahDuBarryVT: hda=used be ida sda used to = scsi
[21:30] <unop> theCzar, gpg is used for authenticating and encrypting email too
[21:30] <jarco_> my webcam seems to have very weird images. i have msi m677 someone knows how to find drivers or to improve the view?
[21:30] <aliciapg> does anybody know how to install the eclipse jdt?
[21:30] <snova> aliciapg: just install the eclipse packages.
[21:30] <ElijahDuBarryVT> No more questions from me, bye and have a nice night :)
[21:30] <unop> theCzar, there are other applications of gpg - but these are perhaps the two most common
[21:30] <tpg> jim_p: thanks alot, its fixed now :)
[21:31] <aliciapg> and that includes everything?
[21:31] <unop> theCzar, if you are looking to encrypt a file with a passphrase - openssl might be better
[21:31] <jim_p> tpg: :) you are welcome
[21:31] <snova> aliciapg: i think so.
[21:31] <aliciapg> alright thanks
[21:31] <vassler> mimi: how do i reduce bass on an mp3? any idea?
[21:32] <snova> aliciapg: yes, i just checked- eclipse depends on eclipse-jdt, so you'll get the java stuff
[21:32] <theCzar> unop: ok, cool, so I can do it all through the shell.  I'm logged in remotely, so i don't have a GUI
[21:32] <Mimi> vassler,  im not too good with editing sound,  but i think  effect -> equalizer
[21:33] <Faithman> http://news.softpedia.com/news/Optimize-Ubuntu-8-04-for-Speed-86405.shtml ..anyone every try these lovely tweaking techniques?
[21:34] <ikonia> Faithman: I suggest you follow official ubuntu docs over random stuff like that
[21:34] <DoTToR_GaLLiaNi> hi
[21:34] <iceman> hello
[21:34] <deus> could anyone tell me what the advantage of a filesystem in userspace (FUSE) is?
[21:34] <tpg> jim_p: I also have a issue here, with Openbox that is, when i try to change something at obmenu(which i downloaded) it doesnt want to save or cant save..
[21:34] <Faithman> ikonia: oko thanks :)
[21:34] <deus> i'm reading about it, but nobody seems to mention the advantages :)
[21:34] <Mimi> Faithman,  i tried a different guide with about 10 steps, it did work pretty nice
[21:34] <Faithman> Mimi: would you happen to have a link?
[21:35] <jim_p> tpg: there is some command that reloads the openbox (the wm and the menu). i dont remember it right now :(
[21:35] <blinkiz_home> deus, I think the advantage is more flexibility, can be run without being root most of the times.
[21:35] <jim_p> tpg: after you are done with editing, you need to reload the menus
[21:35] <DoTToR_GaLLiaNi> go ac milan!!!!!!!
[21:35] <Hawered> lol
[21:35] <ikonia> DoTToR_GaLLiaNi: not in here please
[21:36] <Mimi> ah faithman it was so long ago ^^
[21:36] <ompaul> !offtopic
[21:36] <jarco_> my webcam seems to have very weird images. i have msi m677 someone knows how to find drivers or to improve the view?
[21:36] <Faithman> Mimi:  haha understood, ill take a gander around, thanks
[21:36] <Guest22467> Mimi, Can I please ask you a quick question
[21:36] <DoTToR_GaLLiaNi> ikonia no football?
[21:36] <deus> but what's the advantages that it runs in userspace?
[21:36] <ikonia> DoTToR_GaLLiaNi: no
[21:36] <DoTToR_GaLLiaNi> i'm italian
[21:36] <Mimi> Guest22467,  you can try :P
[21:36] <bwald> !ask
[21:36] <DoTToR_GaLLiaNi> from arcore
[21:36] <DoTToR_GaLLiaNi> near milano
[21:36] <ikonia> !offtopic > DoTToR_GaLLiaNi
[21:36] <Guest22467> thanks, I went to that web page you showed me
[21:36] <ikonia> DoTToR_GaLLiaNi: please read the pm from ubottu
[21:36] <Guest22467> so they gave me a fix
[21:36] <tpg> jim_p: ok, im going to look into that on the internet, thankyou :)
[21:37] <jim_p> tpg: you are welcome again
[21:37] <Guest22467> it looks like this:sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.custom
[21:37] <Guest22467> md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf |sudo tee /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.md5sum
[21:37] <Guest22467> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[21:37] <Guest22467> do I type that all in at once?
[21:37] <DoTToR_GaLLiaNi> ikonia speak italian?
[21:37] <Guest22467> I feel like a retard here
[21:37] <Guest22467> but I just don't know linux!
[21:37] <Mimi> nochd_, you dont type it all at once
[21:37] <blinkiz_home> deus, That its flexible. It can be moved around without problem. It can also be used for virtual filesystems that acts like a interface for the user.
[21:38] <Guest22467> or programing
[21:38] <jim_p> Guest22467: type them one by one at a terminal!!
[21:38] <Guest22467> ok!
[21:38] <blinkiz_home> deus, FUSE is much slower than kernel filesystems. Because of this, its not used everywhere.
[21:38] <Guest22467> but when I type the first sentence in it asks for a password
[21:38] <ikonia> Guest22467: that is your user password
[21:38] <Guest22467> and then it wont let me type it?
[21:39] <Mimi> it types, it just doesnt show to you that youre typing it ;p
[21:39] <agoole> anyone using irssi ?
[21:39] <hagna> how do I get back my hardware accelerated desktop urgh
[21:39] <Mimi> silly, isnt it. but after you type it, press enter, and it will work
[21:39] <hagna> ?
[21:39] <Guest22467> ohhhhhh
[21:39] <Guest22467> ok
[21:39] <ompaul> !enter | Guest22467
[21:40] <Guest22467> ummmm, gee Im trying to learn one thing at a time here
[21:40] <Batty4> agoole, what about irssi? I use it sometimes.
[21:40] <agoole> does anyone know how to search for a certain room with irssi ?
[21:40] <Mimi> Guest22467,  take your time. sorry youre having probs :(
[21:40] <agoole> Batty4: looking for a way to search, and maybe a reason why it only works on one of my computers...
[21:40] <sg> quit
[21:42] <Batty4> agoole, that I don't know, I really only go to two channels.
[21:43] <vassler> i need to edit an mp3 file to amplify and decrece bass, just increase volume? any have help for me?
[21:43] <Guest22467> thanks for the sympathy mimi
[21:43] <tpg> jim_p: i found it out, i just have to be root when i save, saw in the terminal when i opened OBMENU with it that it said the permission was denied, so..
[21:43] <a_l_e> agoole: i think it depends on the server... on freeenode you can do /list
[21:43] <gangsterlicious> Array Size :<PHONE_NUMBER> (5442.12 GiB 5843.43 GB)
[21:44] <gangsterlicious> wrong win
[21:44] <agoole> a_l_e: thanks a ton
[21:44] <cheery> can memtest still give errors even if one would never see those in practise?
[21:44] <vassler> are there any channels dedicated to audoicity?
[21:44] <agoole> Batty4: thanks anyways :)
[21:44] <a_l_e> agoole: /help is you friend :-)
[21:44] <Ninesvnsicks> Hello everyone
[21:44] <jim_p> tpg lol
[21:44] <a_l_e> vassler: have you tried #audiocity ?
[21:44] <agoole> a_l_e: I never get anything with that thing, I can never find what i need, haha
[21:45] <jrib> vassler: you should check the project's website
[21:45] <Ninesvnsicks> How do I get the windows from snapping to everything?
[21:45] <Sad`Panda> cześć
[21:45] <niche> Ninesvnsicks, go into Compiz and disable snapping windows
[21:45] <ElijahDuBarryVT> what time is need to create boot partition?
[21:45] <Ninesvnsicks> It is
[21:45] <ompaul> !pl | Sad`Panda
[21:46] <niche> Ninesvnsicks, that's in System > Preferences > CompizConfiguration
[21:46] <Sad`Panda> ah, ok, i mean - hi :P
[21:46] <Ninesvnsicks> niche: thats in System > preferences > advanced desktop effects settings
[21:47] <niche> Ninesvnsicks, oops, it changes after you have the latest Compiz update, you must have a new install?
[21:47] <Ninesvnsicks> yea
[21:47] <bobbyd> hi
[21:48] <Ninesvnsicks> niche: yes
[21:48] <sup3rm4n> Hello, Bobbyd.
[21:48] <bobbyd> does anyone have suggestions for a good recovery linux to stick on a USB stick?
[21:48] <bobbyd> maybe damn small linux?
[21:49] <Aethelred> bobbyd: try tomsrtbt   http://www.toms.net/rb/
[21:49] <lyk3n> hello
[21:49] <Aethelred> it'll fit on a floppy
[21:50] <Ninesvnsicks> niche: snapping windows was the first thing I turned off but it didn't work
[21:50] <marli> any enviromentalists here?
[21:50] <zhaz> Anyone know a good RSS downloader? For torrents?
[21:50] <lyk3n> does anyone know if you can triple boot  a computer
[21:50] <ompaul> !offtopic | marli
[21:50] <ElijahDuBarryVT> Hey please answer me, how long it takes time to create a boot partition?
[21:50] <marli> i cant find an enviro room though
[21:50] <ompaul> !offtopic | marli
[21:50] <Jdibbons> Im having troubles installing ubuntu could i get a little help from some one? If so PM me
[21:50] <bobbyd> Aethelred: ta, I'll have a look
[21:50] <madmartian> lyk3n: no reason why not, if you have a big enough HD
[21:51] <ompaul> marli, that does not make it right to talk about it here - it is not a ubuntu support issue
[21:51] <lyk3n> madmartian: would i run into a problem with swap space
[21:51] <ompaul> !install | Jdibbons
[21:52] <madmartian> lyk3n: AFAIK each one has its own
[21:52] <Aethelred> bobbyd: it's a minimal system... if you want to boot to a GUI, you should look into something else.
[21:52] <Ninesvnsicks> Anyone else have any ideas?
[21:52] <Aethelred> You can obviously fit much more onto a flash drive
[21:52] <biouser_> what is the java (jdk) directory by default?
[21:53] <lyk3n> madmartian: i know there is a limitation on primary and logical partitions. do you know the max ?
[21:53] <marli> this mint linix is cool
[21:53] <Ninesvnsicks> I was thinking of trying that
[21:53] <Jdibbons> When I boot to the cd I burned I can verify that the cd was burned properly but when I tell it to install I get a progress bar then it dumps me to a command line. Any ideas?
[21:54] <danbh_intrepid> biouser_: you can use locate to find the java directory
[21:54] <marli> anyone know a good game from the repositry to push my 3d card
[21:54] <ompaul> !bootoptions | Jdibbons please check out this url a lot of work went into it
[21:54] <biouser_> danbh_intrepid, I have been using locate but there is a lot of crap
[21:54] <danbh_intrepid> marli: you can try tremulous or nexuiz
[21:54] <danbh_intrepid> biouser_: what are you trying to do?
[21:55] <biouser_> danbh_intrepid, this program is asking simply for the java(jdk) directory wanting the sun one
[21:55] <marli> no do 3d games exist for linux?
[21:55] <biouser_> which I have installed through the package manager some time ago
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> hey all, im doing some bash scripting to find broken symlinks
[21:55] <biouser_> danbh_intrepid,
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> marli: indeed
[21:55] <madmartian> lynk3n: no idea
[21:55] <ompaul> marli, do this >> apt-cache search 3d | less <<and see what you get back
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> marli: i have frets on fire, warzone 2100 and Dark Zone all on my Ubuntu box
[21:56] <biouser_> sry, danbh_intrepid my wireless went out for no good reason...

[21:56] <biouser_> hello?
[21:56] <andril> are there any tools to kick users off the network?
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> everybody, is this right: cd /; find -name * -exec file {} | grep BROKEN\;
[21:57] <marli> just installingg warzone 2100
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> marli: plus most games run under wine
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> marli: its a good laugh, its an oldie but a goodie
[21:57] <webfarmer> can someone slap me in the face and call me suzy
[21:57] <ompaul> !offtopic | webfarmer
[21:58] <onx> ActionParsnip, could just do "find / -name...."
[21:58] <Guest70493> how do i set shorcuts for applications
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> onx: well yeah, but can you help with the rest?
[21:59] <Batty4> ActionParsnip, find / -name * -exec file {} \; | grep BROKEN
[21:59] <Batty4> Try that.
[21:59] <ActionParsnip> onx: when you execute file <some link> and its broken it outputs the word BROKEN
[21:59] <surial> Hey guys. nm-applet isn't working for a particular network. I pick the network, enter the password, and .... nothing. Where does nm-applet log problems?

[21:59] <Gin> hi, are there gnome 2.24 packages for Ubuntu ?
[21:59] <ActionParsnip> Batty4: no dice
[21:59] <onx> ActionParsnip, sorry  but no
[21:59] <ray__> i am having an issue with skype, i cant get sound to work i have alsa drivers installed, but i have an nVidea motherboard
[22:00] <HUNTER_byte> I want Monday be the first day of the week. Is there a global option for that in GNOME or elsewhere?
[22:00] <ikonia> Gin: in ubuntu 8.0 only
[22:00] <andril> any at all - i need something to kick users off my network - please
[22:00] <lyk3n> Guest70493: right click create launcher and input the command for the application. you can also alias a command, and later call it whatever you want in the command line
[22:00] <Gin> ikonia, 8.0??
[22:00] <Batty4> ActionParsnip, what are you trying to do?  What I wrote will execute file on every item found in / and search for BROKEN
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> Batty4: im trying to find all broken symlinks. If you run file on a broken link it will say its broken, we can grep this output to see if there are any broken ones around
[22:01] <ikonia> Gin: 8.10
[22:02] <zigzags> anyone know how using a proxy program behind a router works? wouldnt the program need to do something to the data after it had gone through the router, and not before it?
[22:02] <marli> wicked I built some of the PCs that that game was written on BTW
[22:02] <marli> totally forgot about that
[22:02] <Gin> ikonia, why doens't canonical make it available for 8.4.1 also? since it is a LTS release.
[22:02] <ray__> i am having an issue with skype, i cant get sound to work i have alsa drivers installed, but i have an nVidea motherboard
[22:02] <ikonia> Gin: because it's not stable yet
[22:02] <ikonia> Gin: LTS is a long term release aimed at stability
[22:03] <marli> why is my screen flikering in the background?
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> zigzags: all data goes through your router, to the proxy then out to the world
[22:03] <ompaul> andril, one user, all users apart from you, give us some context and how do they have access to the machine, ssh are they physically logged in, very little info there   but you could do sudo pkill -u UserNameGoesHere but it does not keep them out you might want to sudo nano /etc/shadow and put an asterisk in front of their usernames in the password field
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> zigzags: makes the data look like its going to the proxy and not you, the proxy hides your identity
[22:04] <jrib> Ooble: readlink -f   gives you what the symlink points to.  Check out the 'symlinks' package to find dangling symlinks
[22:04] <andril> ompaul: thanks
[22:04] <Gin> ikonia, but 2.24 is already released
[22:04] <ikonia> Gin: so ?
[22:04] <ompaul> andril, yw
[22:04] <gnuskool> zigzags: watch a tech animation at warriorsofthenet.com, it explains data and routers etc---its very straight forward
[22:05] <Batty4> ActionParsnip, I got it to work I'll show you what I used.  Created a test, hold on.
[22:05] <Nutzebahn> Hello.
[22:05] <Nutzebahn> How good is Intrepid compared to the older versions?
[22:05] <Gin> ikonia, I don't want to upgrade my system but I want gnome 2.24. what can I do?
[22:05] <ikonia> Nutzebahn: it's not finished yet
[22:05] <ikonia> Gin: nothing
[22:05] <ompaul> Nutzebahn, ask in #ubuntu+1 please
[22:05] <Nutzebahn> I know, but, how good will it be?
[22:05] <Nutzebahn> Ok.
[22:06] <ikonia> Nutzebahn: it's not finished so how long is a bit of sting
[22:06] <Nutzebahn> Ok.

[22:06] <Ninesvnsicks> How come I can only have one audio program use alsa at once?
[22:06] <keystr0k> any idea why my rhythmbox won't play MP3's?
[22:06] <psykidellic> So I plugged in my CD and my Ubuntu starts up Rhythmbox and nothing happens.  I did "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" and it says that package is in the latest version. I can move the CD plus the ogg to my Mac OS X and it works. Any ideas? I have tried Totem and Mplayer without any luck.
[22:06] <jrib> keystr0k: open nautilus and double click on an mp3.  Does that work?
[22:06] <zigzags> so a proxy program is just telling all my traffic to go to a proxy server first(after the router f course)? its not doing anything like assigning my data an IP of whatever??
[22:07] <psykidellic> Actually, none of the Mp3 or ogg plays but if I start Youtube the sound is there.
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> strAlan: thats a long way round, run sudo fdisk -l

[22:10] <lwizardl__> anyone ever used a ADM (Advance Digital Machine) Cash display pole?
[22:10] <zigzags> is there a way to have output text changed by certain parameters, such as having everything that would normaly output 'networkin' to output 'ntwkg' instead?

[22:11] <Ninesvnsicks> why not
[22:11] <l337ingDisorder> can anyone tell me why synaptic would show it as being installed but it not actually seem to be installed??

[22:12] <zigzags> Ninesvnsicks: this is just a guess, but maybe hae each program use a different codec? that could be a lot harder than it sounds though.
[22:12] <ikonia> l337ingDisorder: show me the exact command your using and the error
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> l337ingDisorder: i just use apt-get
[22:12] <ikonia> sahak: bugs worth updating in
[22:12] <sahak> what bugs?
[22:12] <itrebal> how long do you'all predict before 8.10?
[22:12] <ryan_____> Is there a Ubuntu alternative to Windows UltraMon?
[22:12] <Ninesvnsicks> zigzags: prolyl would be
[22:12] <l337ingDisorder> ActionParsnip: apt-get tells me it's installed
[22:12] <KoN8392> hello world!
[22:12] <ikonia> sahak: read the change log
[22:12] <sahak> i got 3.0.2 yesterday and today I get 3.0.3

[22:12] <l337ingDisorder> ikonia: exact output is..
[22:13] <ActionParsnip> l337ingDisorder: then use sudo apt-get --reinstall install <stuff>
[22:13] <Mccayne> can anyone help me find my s-ata disks? jmicron stuff dual core
[22:13] <l337ingDisorder> bash: glipper: command not found
[22:13] <crashsystems> I just installed ubuntu-eee on an eeePC 1000. Everything works but the web cam. Anyone know how to fix this?
[22:13] <Ninesvnsicks> zigzags: Its just in windows i can play everything at once and with alsa that doesn't seem to be the case
[22:13] <ikonia> l337ingDisorder: sudo find / -name glipper -print
[22:13] <Goofee691> hello
[22:13] <sahak> fix LP: #270429: [MASTER] passwords lost from 3.0.1 to 3.0.2
[22:13] <duxbarak> what packages do i need to install to be able to send mail straight from my machine using mutt?
[22:13] <KoN8392> I've used the gnome Network app to setup a wireless static IP. After, I kill nm-applet. how do I force "Network" app to connect???
[22:13] <itrebal> ikonia: I'm sorry but I dno't understand what you mean
[22:14] <ikonia> itrebal: it's released in 10 (octover) 08 (2008)
[22:14] <l337ingDisorder> ActionParsnip: just did a reinstall, and running 'glipper' gives the same error
[22:14] <itrebal> ikonia: I see, so those versino numbers actually mean something in relation to its date
[22:14] <sahak> very sad
[22:14] <ikonia> itrebal: yes
[22:14] <jrib> duxbarak: you need an MTA.  esmtp is a decent one if you just want to use an smtp server like gmail's
[22:14] <keystr0k> is anyone having problems with GnomeDO bringing their system to its knees?  I found this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/do/+bug/270437

[22:14] <Guest93792> Does anyone run Ubuntu on their PS3?
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> l337ingDisorder: whats the error?
[22:15] <liviu> Hy guys!
[22:15] <ikonia> sahak: we don't need to see them
[22:15] <ray__> where is the best place to find out how to get skype working?
[22:15] <l337ingDisorder> ikonia: returns lots of results named 'glipper' but running 'glipper' still returns this error:
[22:15] <liviu> Someone about lirc?
[22:15] <ikonia> sahak: you wanted to know - not us
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> !ps3 | Guest93792
[22:15] <Batty4> Random question, anyone segfaulting when trying to save using wireshark?
[22:15] <Goofee691> does anyone here know about LVM's?
[22:15] <l337ingDisorder> bash: glipper: command not found
[22:15] <ikonia> Goofee691: yes
[22:15] <liviu> Remote control
[22:15] <ikonia> l337ingDisorder: are you shure thats the right command
[22:15] <liviu> infra red
[22:15] <zigzags> Ninesvnsicks: maybe you could copy the alsa driver to same location, call it alsa(1)orsomething, and then have your media player locate thatcodec.  it will technically be a different file, but the same codec and thus might ork
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> l337ingDisorder: try  the command which glipper
[22:15] <l337ingDisorder> ikonia: that's the name of the package and nowhere during the installation process does it tell me to run anything else
[22:15] <redf1sh> l337ingDisorder: right click panel, hit add to panel. The clipboard in there is glipper.
[22:15] <hector> ray__ from the ubuntu repos
[22:15] <Goofee691> can you try to help me with this
[22:15] <Goofee691> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5855600
[22:15] <Ninesvnsicks> hmm
[22:16] <redf1sh> l337ingDisorder: I dont think it has an actual command
[22:16] <l337ingDisorder> redf1sh: ahhhh so it's not an executable... ok thanks :)
[22:16] <Ninesvnsicks> so the alsa server really can only have one signal at a time?
[22:16] <ikonia> l337ingDisorder does it tell you to run "glipper"
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> !glipper
[22:16] <zigzags> idk but thats what im assuming from my experiences
[22:16] <l337ingDisorder> you'd think there'd be some part of the installation process that tells you how to actually START the program!! lol
[22:16] <redf1sh> l337ingDisorder dpkg -L *a package* shows you the contents, only way i figure that out :p
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> l337ingDisorder: sudo apt-get --purge remove glipper
[22:16] <redf1sh> l337ingDisorder: got it working then?
[22:16] <hector> Hi everyone!!! Somebody know how to use 4GB on ram on Ubuntu hardy 32 bits? is it there an instruction for the kernel?
[22:16] <ikonia> Goofee691: can you explain your raid setup
[22:16] <gnuskool> if i install amarok in gnome, is the performance severely affected or only slightly - im not a purist so it dosent have to be the fastest
[22:16] <ikonia> Goofee691: was it radi 5 ?
[22:17] <ikonia> Goofee691: raid 5 sorry
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> l337ingDisorder: they usually put a binary in /usr/bin
[22:17] <lyk3n> does anyone know how to subscribe to new groups
[22:17] <luminerd> Hi, I jus installed Ubuntu on my PC... and the resolution is 640 x 480. Although if I reboot, seemingly randomly, it will sometimes be 800x600.  This is a 19" monitor though, should be more like 1600x1200...
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> gnuskool: if you like it, install it
[22:17] <Goofee691> ikonia, no this was just a lvm speard across the volumes, right before i was going to try and set up a RAID5
[22:17] <ikonia> lyk3n: with what application ?
[22:17] <KoN8392> actionparsnip: cool what does that do
[22:18] <ikonia> Goofee691: then your dead
[22:18] <lyk3n> evolution
[22:18] <zvone> flash 10 someone install it?
[22:18] <ikonia> Goofee691: LVM in linux doesn't have reslliance
[22:18] <ikonia> Goofee691: not like things like hpux/aix lvm
[22:18] <l337ingDisorder> ActionParsnip: yeah they USUALLY do... which is all the more reason non-standard installs should include at least a little alert dialog that tells you how to envoke them.
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: what graphics card do you have?
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> KoN8392: what does what do?
[22:18] <lyk3n> ikonia: Evolution
[22:18] <Goofee691> ikonia, so theirs no way to get the data back without getting the missing drive fixed?
[22:18] <l337ingDisorder> anyway thanks for the help guys! got it all workin'
[22:18] <liviu> sorry guys!
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> l337ingDisorder: sweet
[22:18] <KoN8392> network restart
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> KoN8392: pulls all networking down, then up
[22:18] <hector> someone?
[22:18] <liviu> someone can give some info about irda remote controll
[22:19] <ikonia> Goofee691 if the disks are almost empty - yes, if they had say %20 data on them, no
[22:19] <KoN8392> ok ill give it a try
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> wassup hector
[22:19] <liviu> how to link a program to be used with the remote?
[22:19] <hector> hi ActionParsnip
[22:19] <luminerd> ActionParsnip: It is Nvidia, Geforce 4 MC
[22:19] <Goofee691> ikonia, they had over 1TB of data
[22:19] <isiah> using only the terminal how can I move files from my computer to another through SSH?
[22:19] <lyk3n> ikonia: can you help me?
[22:19] <ikonia> Goofee691: gone then
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[22:19] <strocknar> hello all! I am having difficulty with network connectivity.  I am set up using DHCP and can get an IP address, but cannot ping anything.  nslookup resolves hosts, but ping does not work outside my LAN
[22:19] <luminerd> ActionParsnip: There was a driver, that it kept telling me that Ubuntu can't support it
[22:19] <ikonia> lyk3n: with what ?
[22:19] <hector> i got a problem with some ram ( 4gb) on Ubuntu 32 bits
[22:19] <lyk3n> newgroups.
[22:19] <ikonia> lyk3n: lvm has no ressilence in it
[22:19] <ikonia> lyk3n: with what application
[22:19] <danbh_intrepid> hector: whats the problem?
[22:20] <lyk3n> ikonia: Evolution
[22:20] <ikonia> lyk3n: I don't know if evolution supports news groups
[22:20] <hector> My SO con use all the ram only 3.1 gb
[22:20] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: you could try envyng-gtk
[22:20] <ikonia> hector: 32bit is limited to 3 gig without PAE support
[22:20] <hector> and i do not want to use a 64 bit ubuntu
[22:20] <lyk3n> ikonia: how about thunderbird
[22:20] <Goofee691> ikonia, so i guess i should send the bad drive out to get repaired by some company since it should just be the PCB that failed, the PCB on the hdd likes like a shot happened on it
[22:20] <danbh_intrepid> hector: mmm, you just reminded me, I need to test my ram, I just upgraded to 4g
[22:20] <ikonia> lyk3n: yea sure
[22:20] <luminerd> ActionParsnip: I already have the most recent driver, it says when I do that command
[22:20] <ikonia> Goofee691: that would be the best option by far, then move them to a raid solution
[22:20] <Guest93792> hector: I _think_ it should "just work" - you will be limited to 4GB per process (as this is the addressable limit on a 32 bit system), however I think Linux may be able to bank the RAM to handle it
[22:21] <lacita> Hey all. I need to properly configure ALSA on my Lenovo y410 7757 laptop. I have no sound, and am running a restricted wireless driver (Intel PRO/wireless 3945). It has something to do with the intel chipset.
[22:21] <hector> is there any instruction for the kernel?=
[22:21] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: did yuo update your xorg.conf to use nvidia driver and not nv?
[22:21] <ryan_____> In TwinView, How do you make it so You can grab the title bar of a window and move it to the other screen?
[22:21] <hector> like CONFIG_HIMEM4G
[22:21] <danbh_intrepid> hector: PAE is supposedly more trouble than it is worth
[22:21] <Goofee691> ikonia, ok so id assume its safe to say that no data can be recovered from that one failed drive without the others right? because im not even sure what is on it
[22:21] <luminerd> ActionParsnip: I just used the GUI
[22:22] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: envyng?
[22:22] <ActionParsnip> !xinerama | ryan_____
[22:22] <hector> YEAP cuz PAE is it for old processors?
[22:22] <luminerd> ActionParsnip: Whatever comes with Ubuntu.  When I went to enable graphical effects, it asked me if I anted to install an unsupported 3rd party driver, and I said yes
[22:22] <snova> should i expect to have to download very large updates when intrepid comes out? i just want an idea of how big it's going to be...
[22:22] <luminerd> and it downloaded something and did it all automatically
[22:22] <ikonia> Goofee691 correct, as data is randomly spread across the disks, but with no stripe for intergrity
[22:22] <danbh_intrepid> snova: a whole cd, like 600mb
[22:22] <theshadow> how can I check the version of a package... like I have a lib installed but the name of it doesn't tell me what version it is
[22:23] <snova> ok. it could be worse.
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: check in /etc/X11/xorg.conf that you are using the nvidia driver and not nv
[22:23] <hector> MemTotal:      3106700 kB
[22:23] <Flare183> !en
[22:23] <redf1sh> hector: You have to compile the kernel with the options set. I think its called CONFIG_HIGHMEM in your .config, dunno what the options called in a menu.
[22:23] <ryan_____> ubottu: I do not want one large display.  My system is set up for two unique displays, which is called TwinView.  My problem is grabbing one window and moving it to the other.
[22:23] <Flare183> oops sry
[22:23] <lacita> Hello?
[22:23] <Goofee691> ikonia, thank you for your help now im just wondering how much this repair is going to cost me, whats is worse is the drive still has 2 years left on its warranty but that does not cover data recovery
[22:24] <Flare183> !ask | lacita
[22:24] <redf1sh> hector: or isntall 64 bit ubuntu, which can do much more ram.
[22:24] <hector> model name	: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     T7100  @ 1.80GHz
[22:24] <luminerd> ActionParsnip: The driver is "nvidia"
[22:24] <ikonia> Goofee691: if its pcb, shouldn't need data recovery
[22:24] <lacita> Flare183: Hey all. I need to properly configure ALSA on my Lenovo y410 7757 laptop. I have no sound, and am running a restricted wireless driver (Intel PRO/wireless 3945). It has something to do with the intel chipset.
[22:24] <strocknar> hello all! I am having difficulty with network connectivity.  I am set up using DHCP and can get an IP address, but cannot ping anything.  nslookup resolves hosts, but ping does not work outside my LAN
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: and do you see an nvidia logo when you boot?
[22:24] <Flare183> lacita: Ok hold on
[22:24] <zigzags> whats the default download location for wget?
[22:24] <lucax> wouldnt be cool if ubuntu had a control panel like mandriva and opensuse do?
[22:24] <luminerd> ActionParsnip: not sure, I'll reboot it and find out, sec
[22:24] <lacita> Flare183: thanks
[22:25] <redf1sh> strocknar: you can ping your gateway?
[22:25] <Flare183> !intelhda | lacita
[22:25] <strocknar> zigzags: current pwd, i believe
[22:25] <hector> ok... the 2 options are good in fact i tried to use a 64 bits SO, but some app didnt work
[22:25] <zigzags> pwd?
[22:25] <strocknar> redfish: i can, yes
[22:25] <Flare183> lacita: That should help
[22:25] <strocknar> zigzags: present working directory
[22:25] <redf1sh> strocknar: and other things using the same gateway can get out?
[22:25] <zigzags> ooo
[22:25] <^paradox^> we have two computers. this one runs ubuntu 8.04 and my gf's run windows vista home. we have cable internet and vonage phone service. the two computers are on a linksys telephone router with four ethernet ports. i was hoping someone could pm me and take a little time to show me how we could share a printer and a folder
[22:25] <Flare183> zigzags: Yeah, Print Working Directory
[22:25] <strocknar> redfish: yes, they can
[22:25] <redf1sh> hector: you can try the config option, #kernel on freenode should help out there.
[22:26] <Goofee691> ikonia, that is why i hope thats all it is since the pcb turned out to be slighlly discoloured like excessive heat/a short right after a thunder storm knocked out power even though the computer in question was behind a surge stip and a UPS
[22:26] <hector> redf1sh THX
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> zigzags: or, print where (im) didllin
[22:26] <luminerd> ActionParsnip: I did not see an nVidia logo
[22:26] <redf1sh> strocknar: weird, your certain there's no odd filters set up on your router (or possibly your own box)? If its reaching the gateway it should in theory be the gateways problem now.
[22:26] <lacita> Flare183: I think it’s driver issue because I see it everywhere regarding the lenovo 3000 series.
[22:26] <redf1sh> hector: np
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: then its not loaded
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> luminerd:  heres mine http://pastebin.com/f7b6a685a
[22:27] <strocknar> redf1sh: I wouldn't think so.  I have another box with arch-linux installed that seems to work just fine.  I am using an old dapper install (trying to dist-upgrade), but I don't think that would cause anything
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: i'd add the lines in the screen section about resolutions and refresh rates
[22:28] <iceman> lacita
[22:28] <strocknar> redf1sh: /etc/hosts.allow had nothing, and I changed it to ALL:ALL to make sure.  hosts.deny is blank
[22:28] <redf1sh> strocknar: hmm, thats no fun. Can you ping other machines on the network?
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: backup the current one, then edit with gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:28] <luminerd> brb
[22:28] <strocknar> redf1sh: yes
[22:29] <redf1sh> strocknar: how about <IP_ADDRESS> (google)
[22:29] <redf1sh> strocknar: (just to make bloody sure its not dns)
[22:29] <lacita> Anybody know how to isable acpi. in boot option?
[22:29] <strocknar> redf1sh: negative
[22:29] <iceman> grub / lilo ?
[22:30] <zigzags> im tryin to DL this program, the website tells me to run 'sudo wget -O- "http://www.cyan-networks.com/files/sweb.key" | sudo apt-key add'  but its not downloading to the folder I have CD-ed into with terminal
[22:30] <Luminerd_> Thank you for your help actionparsnip
[22:30] <strocknar> redf1sh: cannot ping yahoo or google (or IP's)
[22:30] <strocknar> redf1sh: what I don't get is that they resolve with nslookup, but won't ping
[22:30] <redf1sh> strocknar: alright... I have no idea. <Chances are> its something on your router, but of course anything possible.
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> Luminerd_: add those lines and you'll run at 1024x768
[22:30] <redf1sh> wait that is weird
[22:30] <redf1sh> strocknar: is your gateway the dns server?
[22:31] <redf1sh> strocknar: or something else?
[22:31] <Luminerd_> Can I change that to higher red?
[22:31] <Luminerd_> Res*
[22:31] <strocknar> redf1sh: something else.
[22:31] <ActionParsnip> Luminerd_: sure, just modify the file, id just get 1024x768 for now, then go from there
[22:31] <redf1sh> strocknar: no maybe its just pings that are blocked? Since for some reason your dns requests are getting out.
[22:32] <strocknar> redf1sh: what would block just pings?
[22:32] <redf1sh> strocknar: you have tcpdump installed? (Its nifty and shows you what packets your machine can see).
[22:32] <ActionParsnip> strocknar: you could use nslookup
[22:32] <redf1sh> strocknar: lots of stuff tends to... some of my systems do.
[22:32] <strocknar> redf1sh: i do have tcpdump installed
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: any better?
[22:33] <strocknar> actionparsnip: nslookup works, but ping doesn't...it's weird...
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> strocknar: does tracert?
[22:33] <strocknar> actionparsnip: no such file installed
[22:34] <Batty4> strocknar, try traceroute tracert is for windows.
[22:34] <strocknar> batty4: command not found there, either
[22:35] <strocknar> bah...i'll take it home and see if it is just the network here.  Thanks guys!
[22:35] <Batty4> strocknar, sudo apt-get install traceroute
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> strocknar: tracert www.google.com
[22:35] <Batty4> LOL
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> why is tracert not standard
[22:35] <lacita> Anybody know how to isable acpi. in boot option?
[22:36] <Batty4> ActionParsnip, Ubuntu is more minimal than most I guess.
[22:36] <luminerd> ActionParsnip: After that just reboot?
[22:36] <luminerd> Sorry it's takin me a bit, because the linux machine is not by this one
