[00:00] <cjae> IntuitiveNipple: you had a hardy package but I can't seem to install it under ibex?
[00:01] <IntuitiveNipple> cjae: I think the kernel interface may have changed
[00:01] <Jack_Sparrow> i-pink No there is nothing like that yet for ubuntu
[00:01] <LinuxMafia> !screencast
[00:01] <i-pink> but u nee it

[00:01] <Jack_Sparrow> !helpme
[00:01] <genii> IntuitiveNipple: The vx6000 worked on my 8.10 box using the Microdia driver
[00:02] <i-pink> Jack_Sparrow : what to to?
[00:02] <j85wilson> xoox: sudo mount -o remount,rw my-filesystem
[00:02] <Jack_Sparrow> i-pink Go look for a substituute

[00:03] <IntuitiveNipple> cjae: see what genii said
[00:03] <xoox> j85wilson: Will that keep the mount options from fstab as well?
[00:03] <Flux_teh_Fox> !patience
[00:03] <j85wilson> xoox: I think so?
[00:03] <i-pink> Jack_Sparrow : go to what ??
[00:03] <_ampul> !patience
[00:03] <Jack_Sparrow> i-pink google
[00:03] <xoox> j85wilson: It's telling me the block device is write-protected.

[00:03] <Hok30> If I use this method, (http://www.pendrivelinux.com/live-ubuntu-810-usb-persistent-install-windows/) could I unplug the USB drive and use it on a different computer to boot up with Ubuntu?
[00:04] <j85wilson> xoox: tell me more about your situation
[00:04] <tiredbones> What is a better way to do a dist upgrade? create a iso image or use synaptic and upgrade what's on my system?

[00:04] <Flux_teh_Fox> I'm using amarok 1,4 in GNOME, and when I right-click on a visualization window to make it full screen,
[00:04] <Flux_teh_Fox> it appears for a second and goes back to windowed mode
[00:04] <constantine_> anybody here good with Cairo?
[00:04] <i-pink> Jack_Sparrow : hehehe
[00:04] <Anne> I just Installed Opera, where can I find it on my HDD?
[00:05] <j85wilson> !!
[00:05] <adaptr> Anne: why do you need to find it on your HDD ?
[00:05] <mandrig> constantine_: Have you tried Avant Window Navigator?
[00:05] <Flux_teh_Fox> you should just be able to run opera ,correct?
[00:05] <Flux_teh_Fox> run the command "opera"*
[00:05] <constantine_> mandrig: no what is that
[00:05] <mandrig> !awn
[00:05] <Anne> adaptr: I want an icon next to my FF icon
[00:05] <andersolsen> Hello
[00:05] <Jack_Sparrow> constantine_ awn is like cairo, but crashes more often
[00:05] <Hok30> 	If I use this method, (http://www.pendrivelinux.com/live-ubuntu-810-usb-persistent-install-windows/) could I unplug the USB drive and use it on a different computer to boot up with Ubuntu?
[00:05] <cdeszaq1> what user does apache run as in ubuntu?
[00:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Anne create a new launcher for opera
[00:06] <mandrig> constantine_: I've not had that many problems with it Jack_Sparrow , haha
[00:06] <Madpilot> Anne, right-click on your panel, create launcher
[00:06] <Flux_teh_Fox> root, isn't it?
[00:06] <C45iDY> Hi. i need to compile the asm file in my ubuntu. Please tell me how ?
[00:06] <Lincid> Jack_Sparrow: You've had crashing problems with AWN?
[00:06] <Jack_Sparrow> mandrig as a rule, it does cause us more issues
[00:06] <nickrud_> cdeszaq1, www-data
[00:06] <adaptr> Anne: open up your internet menu, and drag Opera from there to the launch bar
[00:06] <andersolsen> I have a problem i can not installed my soundcard driver. Is that enybody so can help me to do that
[00:06] <xoox> j85wilson: Not sure. /var/log/messages doesn't have any relevant info. Disks are old as sin though.
[00:06] <Anne> I get that far... but whatś next? I cannot find opera
[00:06] <xoox> disk*
[00:07] <cjae> IntuitiveNipple: so there is no way to get it to work? this where I found it http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5826879&postcount=4
[00:07] <cdeszaq1> nickrud_: thank you
[00:07] <Anne> adaptr: Opera is not in my internet menu
[00:07] <mandrig> Anne: Alternatively, you could hit <alt> + <F2> and the type opera to run opera
[00:07] <j85wilson> xoox: I mean, you are running ubuntu, yes?  some sort of system with old disks.  You booted it up, and root was never remounted rw?
[00:07] <Hok30> My computer's CD Drive is broken, and I cannot boot. I had Windows on it, but it stopped working, so I would like to run Ubuntu on it. How can i install it via flash drive?
[00:07] <Anne> adaptr: My bad... It was
[00:07] <j85wilson> xoox: how about dmesg?
[00:08] <Jack_Sparrow> !install > Hok30
[00:08] <xoox> j85wilson: No, running Ubuntu system. All of sudden noticed a problem with files not getting written. I then saw that the disks were ro.
[00:08] <C45iDY> Hi. i need to compile the asm file in my ubuntu. Please tell me how ? Any easy sollution ?
[00:08] <Hok30> Jack_Sparrow: What do you mean?
[00:08] <idleone> what do you good folks recommend for video chat with yahoo protocol?
[00:08] <j85wilson> xoox: oh.  bizarre.
[00:08] <xoox> j85wilson: dmesg is boot only right?
[00:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Hok30 See the private message from ubottu about how to do different types of installs
[00:08] <j85wilson> xoox: yeah.
[00:09] <xoox> j85wilson: Google is telling me it might be a hardware problem.
[00:09] <Hok30> Jack_Sparrow: OK...
[00:09] <Anne> Now a trickyer one... I got a asus motherboard with a RAID drive on it, I got 2 disks raided as 1, and formated NTFS, I downloaded the driver from ASUS, How do I install/mount my raided disks
[00:09] <j85wilson> xoox: I was beginning tow onder that myself...
[00:09] <j85wilson> xoox: with old disks, especially.  Check smartctl?  I don't remember its invocation, so check the manpage.
[00:10] <edoceo> So, I'm on Dapper and seeing the 'pcre_fullinfo() error bug' - can't find a fix anywhere - ideas?
[00:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Anne Lose the raid.  that onboard raid stuff inst real raid anyhow
[00:10] <tiredbones> What is a better way to do a dist upgrade? create a iso image or use synaptic and upgrade what's on my system?
[00:10] <Anne> Jack_Sparrow: Can't. Got lots of stuff on those drives I do not want to lose
[00:10] <niku> IdleOne, I'm pretty sure there's a yahoo IM client for linux
[00:10] <xoox> j85wilson: I've tried everything here with no luck: http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=452563
[00:10] <IntuitiveNipple> Anne: It may use the dm-raid driver
[00:10] <jmccaffrey> What is the best way to make a diff of an entire folder including the creation and deletion of images and other binary files?
[00:11] <jmccaffrey> I want to create a patch for a website deploy
[00:11] <IdleOne> niku,  thank you I will google
[00:11] <mcgohenn> IdleONe: Pidgin will allow for Yahoo
[00:11] <Anne> IntuitiveNipple: dm-raid driver?
[00:11] <Hok30> Jack_Sparrow: None of the websites helped me :(
[00:11] <IdleOne> mcgohenn, but it does not support video and voice chat yet
[00:11] <jobless> hey guys, can anyone help me find out why my usb pci card is not working on 8.04?
[00:11] <niku> jmccaffrey, tar has an option to make differential changes, but you could also use rsync
[00:11] <constantine_> I think that cairo isn't working because I didn't save it in the startup, how do I fix that?
[00:11] <Hok30> Jack_Sparrow: ... Helped me so that I could understand.
[00:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Hok30 1st you could not have read them all, and two, they cover your question sprcifically
[00:11] <rootsnatch> jobless: shure whats lsusb saying?
[00:12] <slusken> how do you uninstall the 180.22 nvidia drivers? ubuntu 8.10?
[00:12] <jmccaffrey> niku: Can rsync create a patch file?
[00:12] <rootsnatch> slusken: how did you install them
[00:12] <IntuitiveNipple> Anne: depending what kind of RAID format the motherboard BIOS/chipset uses. Many of the so-called 'fake' or software RAID controllers work with the kernel's dm-raid module.
[00:12] <jobless> rootsnatch, I am using a belkin 5 port USB 2.0 pci card. My system gives some ata errors and won't boot up
[00:12] <niku> jmccaffrey... it can compare two directories and show you which ones changed
[00:12] <j85wilson> xoox: you ran the hdparm stuff?  You're braver than I.  hdparm scares the fire out of me.
[00:12] <niku> jmccaffrey, but not directly
[00:12] <jobless> rootsnatch, it boots up when I remove the card.
[00:12] <mandrig> tiredbones: It depends on if you want to have the older version available or not. If you want to have the older version available, you can repartition your disk and install the newer version, or if you just want to dist-upgrade, you can sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[00:13] <j85wilson> xoox: a reboot didn't fix things?
[00:13] <xoox> j85wilson: The trick is to be ignoranta.
[00:13] <IntuitiveNipple> Anne: for example, all the Promise Fastrak RAID formats are supported by dm-raid, as is Intel versions.
[00:13] <rootsnatch> jobless: there are ata errors?
[00:13] <xoox> ignorant*
[00:13] <xoox> j85wilson: Haven't tried yet. Running fsck
[00:13] <jobless> rootsnatch, yes
[00:13] <smithwar> hi
[00:13] <Hok30> Jack_Sparrow: Um... I skimmed them, nothing caught my eye. What I saw was a lot of articles telling me how to set it up if I was setting up Ubuntu as a seperate OS.
[00:13] <Anne> IntuitiveNipple: How do I acces/configure/whatever dm-raid?
[00:13] <smithwar> any 1 here
[00:13] <slusken> rootsnatch sh filename
[00:13] <smithwar> im a new user just today
[00:13] <Jack_Sparrow> !iso
[00:14] <Jack_Sparrow> !install
[00:14] <jobless> rootsnatch, ata1 failed to recover some devices is the specific error. It then throws me a initramfs prompt
[00:14] <dou213> thx very much bernz for your help ;) gl mate
[00:14] <rootsnatch> jobless: hmmm have you googled around?
[00:14] <smithwar> how can you ppl install tar.gz or bz
[00:14] <Anne> IntuitiveNipple: I do not think this is a software raid tho...
[00:14] <j85wilson> well, xoox, after fsck, which is probably a good idea, try a reboot, see if that fixes it, if not, check dmesg and all.
[00:15] <Hok30> Jack_Sparrow: The Sudo mount command suggests that I would already have my computer running. And I've looked through the install stuff already.
[00:15] <Hok30> !automate
[00:15] <IntuitiveNipple> Anne: most on-board 'RAID' is - hardware RAID is much more expensive
[00:15] <jobless> rootsnatch, yes, I found that one solution was to edit, /etc/intiramfs-tools/modules .. but I don't even have the initramfs-tools directory under etc
[00:15] <dhq> how do i use 2 internet connections togeather
[00:15] <smithwar> so whats the topic here
[00:15] <Hok30> !cloning
[00:15] <dhq> how do i use 2 internet connections togeather
[00:15] <tiredbones> mandrig, I have plone and some other stuff I don't want to have to re-install. Have you ever done a apt-get dist-upgrade.
[00:15] <Jack_Sparrow> dhq Please dont repeat
[00:15] <Anne> IntuitiveNipple: then it probebly is, so how do I mount my NTFS disk?
[00:15] <bernz> cheers, dou213
[00:15] <IntuitiveNipple> Anne: check the Asus specifications for the motherboard
[00:16] <dhq> Jack_Sparrow: my mistake
[00:16] <jobless> rootsnatch, i found that solution on launchpad, bug 104581
[00:16] <xoox> j85wilson: fsck reporting many errors. I think will try to fix them and use the -c flag.
[00:16]  * bernz is one slow mafk
[00:16] <xoox> j85wilson: Is SMART available on old disks.
[00:16] <xoox> ?
[00:16] <IntuitiveNipple> Anne: I've done the same thing in the past for NTFS on RAID-1... In linux ensure the dm-raid module is loaded and use dmraid to configure the array, then add it to /etc/fstab as with any other file-system
[00:16] <rootsnatch> slusken: ummmmmm i think it is a kernel module then
[00:16] <j85wilson> xoox: perhaps not.  Not sure how old is the threshold.
[00:17] <Archonian> is it just me, or is it damn hard to install themes in ubuntu?
[00:17] <smithwar> damit can any 1 read what i write
[00:17] <Hok30> Jack_Sparrow: All I really need is a way to get an installer on my USB drive, have my other non-working system recognize it so that I can change the boot order.
[00:17] <smithwar> what the hell is this anyway
[00:17] <IntuitiveNipple> Anne: see http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/dmraid
[00:17] <mandrig> tiredbones: yeah I have, it shouldn't rewrite your /home directory which is likely where you installed plone.
[00:17] <^hashbang^> smithwar: I see what you are saying
[00:17] <^hashbang^> smithwar: what's your question?
[00:17] <smithwar> thnx
[00:17] <rootsnatch> jobless: hmmmmm
[00:17] <Madpilot> Archonian, download the theme files, drag them into the open Theme Manager window. done.
[00:17] <slusken> umm okay so if i wanna update my drivers to a new version dont i need to uninstall them?
[00:18] <DefineByte> seems it set itself to output over the SPDIF. Ah well, working now. :)
[00:18] <mandrig> Archonian: have you heard of the program gnome-art?
[00:18] <sagredo> what's the off topic channel?
[00:18] <mandrig> !gnome-art
[00:18] <sagredo> !ubottu
[00:18] <tiredbones> mandrig, thanks. I'll find some more docs before I begin.
[00:18] <Madpilot> sagredo, #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:18] <sagredo> pffftt my wetware > your software
[00:19] <jp_sf> !off-topic | sagredo
[00:19] <mandrig> Archonian: sudo apt-get install gnome-art
[00:19] <Anne> IntuitiveNipple: OK thanks
[00:19] <rootsnatch> jobless: are you sure you dont have the initramfs-tools directory
[00:19] <jobless> rootsnatch, wait, i see the directory now when I booted up the machine (w/o the card). But the solution is for hard disks. Any other Ideas?
[00:19] <cjae> IntuitiveNipple: not trying to nag, I have other possible solutions but I was just wondering if there was a way to install that pkg for ibex, but you said that there see what genni said and I didn't catch till just now whos genni
[00:20] <jobless> rootsnatch, I didn't see the directory when I was in initramfs prompt
[00:20] <slusken> rootsnatch : umm okay so if i wanna update my drivers to a new version dont i need to uninstall them? (sry lots of rootsnatch highlighting here :P )
[00:20] <mcgohenn> I am having an isue with soundjuicer, I have everything installed to rip .mp3, however with Soundjuicer configured to use .mp3, it will only rip to .flac
[00:20] <^hashbang^> smithwar: /load theme greenbox
[00:20] <^hashbang^> oops
[00:20] <rootsnatch> slusken: not in my experience, the installer sees the old one and just installs over and everything is generally good
[00:20] <IntuitiveNipple> cjae: "<genii> IntuitiveNipple: The vx6000 worked on my 8.10 box using the Microdia driver"
[00:20] <slusken> okay thanks alot!
[00:21] <Archonian> mandrig: i installed it, how do i use it?
[00:21] <cjae> IntuitiveNipple: so how do I install the driver?
[00:21] <mandrig> Archonian: it should be in System > Preferences > Art-Manager
[00:22] <Archonian> madpilot: i get an error message when i do that, but maybe i've been doing it the wrong way
[00:22] <rootsnatch> jobless: i think you should try the fix, it looks like that card is playing around with the ata card so this might work
[00:22] <Anne> IntuitiveNipple: How do I check what partitions Ubuntu sees?
[00:22] <Anne> ls -l?
[00:22] <jobless> rootsnatch, hehe, why not. I am doing it now :)
[00:22] <IntuitiveNipple> cjae: I don't know, I only packaged it once to help someone test it. It will depend on which source-code you use. I made it simple by using DKMS but most others expect you to use manual build tools
[00:22] <rootsnatch> Anne: try just fdisk /dev/sd and then press tab and see what comes up
[00:22] <IntuitiveNipple> Anne: cat /proc/partitions
[00:22] <rootsnatch> jobless: make sure to make a backup of copy of the file just in case
[00:22] <yoyoned> Anne: Menu>places>computer
[00:23] <cjae> IntuitiveNipple: ok thanks
[00:23] <smithwar> so how do  you install tar.gz files after downloading thm from firefox
[00:23] <jobless> rootsnatch, I see that it is just some comments right now
[00:23] <rootsnatch> jobless: right just make a backup up copy in case
[00:23] <Anne> yoyoned: Not just the mounted partitions, also the unmounted
[00:23] <rootsnatch> jobless: and then edit away
[00:23] <bernz> smithwar: first you'll have to decompress them with gzip (gunzip)
[00:23] <luddite> li am trying to delete a instal of 8.04 because my 8.10 is perfect. I have partition questions though here http://paste.ubuntu.com/116258/
[00:24] <Jack_Sparrow> smithwar a tar is like a zip, they can contain anything.  I suggest you see what installation instructions they provide with their software
[00:24] <yoyoned> Anne:sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda
[00:24] <bernz> smithwar, that will take away the '.gz' part, typically
[00:24] <smithwar> ok
[00:24] <jp_sf> mcgohenn: you need to install a plugin gstreamer
[00:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Anne sudo fdisk -l
[00:24] <smithwar> after i unzip them what should i do
[00:24] <bernz> smithwar, then you can untar it using tar... usually something like 'tar -xvf filenameoftarredfile' to see progress as it works
[00:25] <jobless> rootsnatch, I did ;) and now I am done and about to reboot.. brb
[00:25] <drash> smithwar: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Intrepid#Handling_.28Tar.2FGZip.29_and_.28Tar.2FBzip2.29_archives
[00:25] <Maverick> ?
[00:25] <bernz> you can do these in one line, when you get more familiar with piping and command-line
[00:25] <mcgohenn> jp_sf: I have gstreamer0.10-plugin-ugly, lame, and ubuntu-restricted already installed
[00:25] <Anne> do i need to install something before i can reed/write ntfs partitions?
[00:25] <jp_sf> smithwar: go in the directory look for a README or INSTALL
[00:25] <mcgohenn> jp_sf: I ran through wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats already
[00:26] <smithwar> ok
[00:26] <yoyoned> !ntfs|anne
[00:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Anne YOu should be able to read, but they are sometimes locked down by windows if you have trouble writing
[00:27] <jp_sf> mcgohenn: ok good and then when you  open soundjuicer and go to Edit > Preference > output and select MP3
[00:27] <smithwar> thnx
[00:27] <mcgohenn> jp_sf: after installing the files, it showed the .mp3 format as an option, and started ripping to .flac
[00:28] <mcgohenn> jp_sf: I have disabled all options except .mp3, and it persists with the .flac
[00:28] <smithwar> can some 1 hack me on xubuntu cus i really dont know anything about linux
[00:29] <hommeentete> hello everyone -- i have an external hard drive that i want a user (not root) to be able to write to... I have the folder that I mount it to owned by that user, but when i mount the disk it switches to be owned by root and the root group - and then it doesn't let me change it.  how should i set it up so that a user other than root can write to a mounted disk?
[00:29] <jp_sf> mcgohenn: just to make sure you have MP3 under Edit > Preference ?
[00:29] <mcgohenn> jp_sf: yup
[00:29] <jp_sf> mcgohenn: it's active ?
[00:29] <jp_sf> mcgohenn: checkbox ?
[00:30] <mcgohenn> jp_sf: just double checked, it is active, also checked the others, and the check is not present
[00:30] <eater9> I'm running Intrepid on a 1920x1200 screen, and gnome seems to think the "bottom" of my screen is about an inch from the actual bottom; it puts panels there, etc. -- is there a way to tell it where the actual bottom is?
[00:30] <rootsnatch> hommeentete: i can't remember exactly but i think you need to make sure the user option is set in the fstab
[00:30] <smithwar> how can i play windows xp games like call of duty 4 on ubuntu
[00:30] <Anne> wine
[00:30] <mcgohenn> !wine
[00:30] <smithwar> ubuntu doesn't read exe
[00:30] <hommeentete> rootsnatch: that's at least a start - i appreciate that
[00:31] <prince_jammys> !wine > smithwar
[00:31] <Anne> to start the windwos program, you typ wine programname.exe
[00:31] <Anne> ofc. you need to install wine first
[00:31] <Barnose> Wine reads exe
[00:32] <j85wilson> hey, I've got linux-2.7.27-11 installed, but I'd like to remove it and return to the old kernel (still installed).  How?
[00:32] <vvsh> hello everybody, very simple question, how do i add a process/services to boot time?
[00:32] <Jack_Sparrow> j85wilson select it in grub menu.lst
[00:32] <Barnose> vvsh, I have no idea
[00:32] <j85wilson> vvsh: system->administration->services
[00:32] <Guest20304> I just installed Graphics Drivers and when i logged back out there was no top tool bar and the terminal doesn't load its just a white screen.
[00:33] <Archonian> mandrig: when in GNOME Art i tried to press install, when selecting a theme, nothing happened. i also tried to download the theme to the desktop, and manually add it to the system-settings-appearance but then it complains about not being able to extract the archive
[00:33] <smithwar> see ya bye and thnx for the info much apre......
[00:33] <vvsh> j85wilson: is there anyway i can do it in commandline?
[00:33] <j85wilson> Jack_Sparrow: trouble is, now when I try to install, say, linux-backports-modules-intrepid, it wants to install the 2.7.27-11 version.
[00:33] <jp_sf> mcgohenn: I think the only explanation is you are missing a package
[00:33] <Shakedown> So if I want to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10, it is recommended that I install all available updates for 8.04 - but I don't want 600 updates for language support in Thunderbird and OpenOffice. Do I really have to update everything?
[00:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Archonian normally we drag and drop the tar onto the open theme manager
[00:34] <mcgohenn> jp_sf: that is going to be fun to track down
[00:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Shakedown best to do what it wants and remove them later
[00:34] <Shakedown> How can I remove them later?
[00:34] <j85wilson> vvsh: I think you can do some messing about with /etc/rc.d/*, but really, it is probably best in this case to use the tool, unless you have compelling reason not to.  Way too easy to get things into a messed up state playing with your boot scripts.
[00:34] <hommeentete> eater9: are you sure it's ubuntu that isn't reading the screen right or is it the monitor?  sometimes when i connect a new device i have to hit auto adjust on my monitor
[00:34] <archman> Shakedown: no, just upgrade.
[00:34] <Shakedown> Now I'm getting two different answers!
[00:35] <eater9> hommeentete: it's a laptop
[00:35] <archman> Shakedown: i did it when i was upgrading from gutsy to hardy
[00:35] <hommeentete> eater9: oh.  well then. lol
[00:35] <Archonian> Jack_Sparrow: i tried that to, but it still complains about not being able to extract
[00:35] <cjae> !vl2
[00:35] <j85wilson> vvsh: I've spent a good amount of time deliberately breaking things just so I could see how to fix them, and trust me, your bootscripts are a horrible tangled mess.  You don't want to spend the time to puzzle them out to change them, nor to puzzle them out again to fix them later.
[00:35] <vvsh> j85wilson: thanks
[00:35] <Shakedown> hm
[00:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Archonian then it isnt a valid file or you were trying a gdm theme into the login manager etc
[00:35] <Shakedown> Is there a way to remove things from my Updates Available list?
[00:35] <archman> Shakedown: what jack said, you can remove them later, in synaptic
[00:36] <archman> Shakedown: yes, turning off reps
[00:36] <vvsh> j85wilson: i know what you mean, been there million times. i found a command that does the jobs for me - sysvconfig
[00:36] <j85wilson> ah very nice.  One I wasn't aware of.  Thanks for the tip!
[00:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Shakedown yes, we said you can remove things, but if your upgrade needs one of them you are hosed
[00:36] <Tyler> When i logged back into Ubuntu i noticed there isn't a top toolbar and the terminal wont load?
[00:36] <eater9> i can drag the panels down to where they're supposed to be, but is there any way to make them appear where they should in the first place, instead of in the middle of the screen?
[00:37] <Archonian> Jack_Sparrow: gotcha
[00:37] <cjae> !v4l2
[00:37] <Shakedown> Well the Upgrade page on ubuntu.com says I should have all available updates, but like I said, I don't want to install 700 language packages. That seems like a stupid waste of space to me.
[00:37] <Jack_Sparrow> Archonian np
[00:38] <archman> Shakedown, try upgrading
[00:38] <Mood> is it necessary to forward port 20 as well as port 21 for passive FTP?
[00:38] <archman> Shakedown, button on the top
[00:38] <Shakedown> Without install those packages?
[00:38] <jbuncher> Shakedown:  are they actually for different languages, or are they language packages for different apps?
[00:38] <archman> Shakedown, yes. no point in installing languages, nonsense
[00:39] <Shakedown> They are language supports for like hundreds of languages I've never heard of...I've downloaded all the English ones
[00:39] <anom01y> what problems cause the x server of one user to crash in a system running two users simultaneuosly ?
[00:39] <Jack_Sparrow> archman they are not what he thinks they are
[00:39] <Shakedown> They are language packages for Thunderbird and OpenOffice
[00:39] <archman> Jack_Sparrow erm...
[00:39] <Lincid> Hi. I'm looking for a simple solution to share some files with a friend. Want him to be able to browse and grab as he pleases.
[00:39] <archman> Shakedown, ^
[00:39] <archman> sorry
[00:40] <archman> Shakedown, try to upgrade already, so you'll see what it'll do
[00:40] <Ashok_> can anyone here help me out with getting my intrepid livecd to boot?
[00:40] <nickrud_> archman, you can install localepurge
[00:40] <archman> Ashok_ you just need to burn image to disk
[00:41] <Ashok_> yeah...i can get into the bootmenu on the livecd, it starts up, plays teh login sound, and then gives me a white screen
[00:41] <Ashok_> i can get some pretty crazy black lines across it if i press any keys or move the mouse
[00:41] <mcgohenn> Ashok_ did you burn the ISO, or did you get it in the mail
[00:41] <archman> Ashok_ oh...well...tried another version?
[00:42] <Ashok_> i burned it, tested it on a vm and hashed it: the iso is good
[00:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Ashok_ To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--"
[00:42] <mcgohenn> Ashok_ and is is 32 / 64 bit, per your computer
[00:42] <archman> Ashok_ or try safe graphics mode
[00:42] <Ashok_> its 64 bit for my core 2
[00:42] <Maverick> bye
[00:42] <Ashok_> how do i put it into gfx safe mode?
[00:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Ashok_ not all core 2 are 64 are they?
[00:43] <Cody1> How can you see if you have 2 internet cards on your machine?
[00:43] <archman> Ashok_ you can choose on the menu, i believe
[00:43] <Ashok_> ok
[00:43] <Maverick> quit
[00:43] <Ashok_> afaik they are...i know the proc supports 64 bit
[00:43] <mcgohenn> Cod1: if they are both initiated, try ifconfig
[00:43] <Cody1> What would i be looking for?
[00:43] <Anne> Why do I get Access Deneid when I enter ./Makefile as su
[00:43] <hossam> anyone know the trick to getting virtualbox 2.1.2 to create a valid vmdk for a physical disk? i tried the steps outlined in this guide and it didnt work
[00:43] <hossam> http://blarts.wordpress.com/2007/12/06/how-to-run-virtualbox-using-a-physical-partition-using-ubuntu-feisty-fawn/
[00:44] <mcgohenn> Cody1: the nomer of IP addresses listed
[00:44] <mcgohenn> number
[00:44] <mcgohenn> alternately, eth1, eth2 eth3
[00:44] <hossam> im on ubuntu 8.10 btw
[00:44] <rww> hossam: Try asking in channel #vbox if nobody answers here
[00:44] <Overand> What package handles the 'advanced' auto-completion in bash, that handles things like completion of filenames on remote servers in a line like "scp servername:/file/locat(TAB)" ?
[00:44] <hossam> rww, will do
[00:44] <Cody1> mcgohenn:  I've got Eth1 Eth0 and lo? Is that telling me?
[00:44] <rww> Overand: bash-completion, I think
[00:44] <xoox> Anyone know why a partition would be busy even if it umount (and not listed by mount)?
[00:45] <xoox> I can't fsck
[00:45] <genii> Anne: First: use sudo. Second:  Makefile is not an executable. It's directions for the make command to use
[00:45] <archman> Cody1: yes
[00:45] <archman> Cody1: lan or wlan cards
[00:46] <laughyn1nj4> why does ubuntu put the /home/me/bin directory at the BEGINING of the $PATH instead of the END?  and how can i get ubuntu to put it at the end instead?
[00:46] <nickrud_> Overand, bash-completion ?
[00:47] <nickrud_> laughyn1nj4, it's there to override system commands with your personal version
[00:47] <laughyn1nj4> nickrud: yea, but i don't want anyone(me or others) to be able to do that.
[00:47] <laughyn1nj4> is there anyway to change it?
[00:48] <Flyzoola> hey guys, I'm having problems running GXMame, none of my roms will load because of a LIRC error or something, but I know for a fact that I have everything I need to run the games. Why is this happening?
[00:48] <nickrud_> laughyn1nj4, you'd change it in .profile
[00:48] <^hashbang^> laughynlnj4: any user can change their default path. like. export PATH=$PATH:/place/bin:/my/src/dir etc etc
[00:48] <laughyn1nj4> nickrud: tried it!  doesn't work.
[00:49] <nickrud_> laughyn1nj4, ah, to make it systemwide you'd change /etc/skel/.bashrc for new users. And you have to either log into a new terminal, or run  source .profile to have it register
[00:49] <Flyzoola> does ubuntu need specific bios for mame roms to run?
[00:49] <archman> Flyzoola give the community the exact error and maybe someone could help you
[00:49] <laughyn1nj4> hashbang: ok.  but i don't want to do it manually every time
[00:50] <^hashbang^> laughynlnj4: you would put that in your ~/.bashrc in your homedir
[00:50] <Flyzoola> archman, the error is huge. From what I gather it's because it's not reading the bios that I have as being there, I could screen shot it if that would make it easier (it's not an ubuntu problem per-se, it's more of a gxmame problem)
[00:50] <laughyn1nj4> hashbang: it seems that ubuntu is litterally overriding what i put in .bashrc, or .profile
[00:51] <Krypton> hi guys, im encountering an instlalation problem
[00:51] <btQuark> hello
[00:51] <archman> Flyzoola well, try seeking help on the gxmame boards or so, maybe you'll get help
[00:51] <btQuark> does someone know when the radeon drivers might end up with dri2 in ubuntu?
[00:51] <^hashbang^> laughynlnj4: in your path? what is being overwritten?
[00:51] <Krypton> When I install XP/Vista/MAndriva.... they all work, but when I install Ubuntu from livecd I get upto 50% then an crash
[00:52] <Krypton> why is this?
[00:52] <^hashbang^> !ait |btQuark
[00:52] <^hashbang^> !ati |btQuark
[00:52] <archman> Krypton: you did md5sum check?
[00:52] <Anne> can someone help me out with DMRAID ?
[00:52] <btQuark> the binary driver is largely worse than the opensource one
[00:52] <Krypton> yes i have downloaded it three times and burned 3 diff. cds and I checked them all
[00:52] <btQuark> they're both stinky but the binary one is a shame
[00:53] <laughyn1nj4> hashbang: if i add PATH=$PATH:~/bin to .profile , ubuntu puts ~/bin at the BEGINNING of my path
[00:53] <Krypton> nothing is working, and I am getting extremely frustrated
[00:53] <^hashbang^> laughynlnj4: ok .. so?
[00:53] <pike__> Krypton: have you tried the server install?
[00:53] <archman> Krypton: strange...maybe hardware compatibility problem...Jack_Sparrow: can he install in the debug mode?
[00:53] <Krypton> whats that?
[00:53] <^hashbang^> laughynlnj4: I don't use .profile I use .bashrc...
[00:54] <archman> or verbose...
[00:54] <Krypton> this is my hardware: 2 GB Ram, ATI 780g IGP, 2.4 GHZ AMD Dual Proc
[00:54] <the6step> how do I search debian packages from the command line?
[00:54] <linny1> pike__: dont you mean ubuntu base install ? why would he want the server ?
[00:54] <rww> laughyn1nj4: That's because $PATH already has ~/bin at the beginning of it, so PATH=$PATH:~/bin tells it to add ~/bin to the end... but it's already at the beginning...
[00:54] <btQuark> the radeon drivers are actually really fine, they just need dri2, more accel and better function with powerplay
[00:54] <the6step> is there a command in terminal to do it?
[00:54] <pike__> Krypton: the command line only version installer. you can then simply sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop to pull all the gui stuff in. might update your kernel too with a sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic
[00:54] <Sp0tKubuntu> Is the older Ubuntu 8.04 LTS much different from the newer one? I guess the older one is more stable?
[00:54] <laughyn1nj4> hashbang: that command should put it at the END ... and i want it at the end
[00:54] <rww> the6step: apt-cache search or aptitude search
[00:54] <rww> Sp0tKubuntu: "newer one"? you mean 8.10?
[00:54] <pike__> linny1: i didnt realize there was a difference
[00:54] <Sp0tKubuntu> rww: Yes
[00:54] <laughyn1nj4> how do i tell ubuntu to stop doing that?
[00:54] <Krypton> pike: how do I do the command line installer
[00:55] <linny1> yes the server installs the server stuff :)
[00:55] <freq18hz> has anyone installed the lastest release kernal w/8.10 on an HP Mini 1000?
[00:55] <rww> Sp0tKubuntu: 8.04 is supported for 3 years (desktop) or 5 years (server). 8.10 is supported for 18 months. 8.04 has older (theoretically more tested) packages.
[00:55] <^hashbang^> laughynlnj: try this from your termial. env | grep PATH | now export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mypath | then env | grep PATH
[00:55] <archman> Sp0tKubuntu i've seen great improvements from gutsy till now...
[00:55] <pike__> Krypton: its a seperate cd you have to burn
[00:55] <archman> Sp0tKubuntu big differences
[00:55] <linny1> the ubuntu base is only like a 10mb iso
[00:55] <^hashbang^> laughynlnj: the path :/usr/local/mypath should be at the end correct?
[00:55] <pike__> Krypton: the installer itself is very easy not any harder than the livecd installer really
[00:55] <Sp0tKubuntu> Hmm, then 8.10 is better?
[00:55] <rww> Sp0tKubuntu: for most users, yes
[00:55] <Krypton> yeah, but Im out of CDs and cant go get them
[00:56] <pike__> Sp0tKubuntu: unless you have a legacy nvidia card :(
[00:56] <kjell> Krypton: USB?
[00:56] <archman> Sp0tKubuntu what best suits for you...subjective
[00:56] <Krypton> dont have one here
[00:56] <archman> Sp0tKubuntu for me, it definitely is
[00:56] <vigo> Krypton: WUBI?
[00:56] <archman> till now...
[00:56] <Sp0tKubuntu> pike__: Hmm, i have intergrated graphic
[00:56] <Krypton> i dont have an OS instlaled
[00:56] <archman> Sp0tKubuntu graphics will work )
[00:56] <pressman57> Anyone know anything about hardware? I had a power-source go out (my second), I replaced it and now my computer is actin hinkey - mouse not doing what it should, screen shifting and jumping around. Logic board?
[00:56] <laughyn1nj4> hashbang: no workie workie ... and since i'm not a grep guru i don't even know what that's supoded to do so i cant fix it
[00:56] <slusken> ARGH powermizer still not fixed :f
[00:56] <Flyzoola> anybody here use xmame? My roms wont load because of something called LIRC disabling
[00:56] <Krypton> im doing this thru the livecd
[00:57] <linny1> Krypton: i would try ubuntu base install then install graphics drivers then the ubuntu desktop i have an ati card and thats how i had to do it
[00:57] <Sp0tKubuntu> Hmm, i have seen 8.10 but im afraid is more "unstable" than the older one
[00:57] <Krypton> but ig et upto 50% in th einstall
[00:57] <Krypton> and then it gives me an error
[00:57] <archman> Sp0tKubuntu it's 4 months out, so...
[00:57] <linny1> Krypton: what does the error say ?
[00:57] <^hashbang^> laughynlnj4: env (just displays your current running enviorement) and | the pipe is taking that output and passing it to "grep" which is then looking for a keyword PATH
[00:58] <archman> Sp0tKubuntu nonsense
[00:58] <Krypton> it says faulty cd drive/hardrive
[00:58] <archman> Sp0tKubuntu can be just better security tight and stabel
[00:58] <linny1> Krypton: did you check the media ?
[00:58] <Krypton> yes
[00:58] <Sp0tKubuntu> That will say its ok? But what if i like KDE then? I have Kubuntu 8.10 64 bit installed now
[00:58] <Zombie_Gaz> Still trying to get an answer for this... I use gnome-terminal and want to get full ansi colour support. Anyone have any ideas how to do that. Do I need a specific font and / or term? I can see the correct colours but they have strange symbols.
[00:58] <laughyn1nj4> hashbang: why would'nt i just echo $PATH ?
[00:58] <Krypton> so i dont know what the problem could be
[00:58] <^hashbang^> laughynlnj4: copy paste this: env | grep PATH (copy paste fromt he "env" part to the PATH part)
[00:58] <archman> Sp0tKubuntu the same, i believe, KDE has great apps ;)
[00:58] <mikeshollen> Can anyone help me fix my mic?
[00:59] <Sp0tKubuntu> Ok, thats also worth thinkin about i think, stability
[00:59] <^hashbang^> laughynlnj4: you can do that too
[00:59] <archman> Sp0tKubuntu i don't love the xp feel, though, gnome for me :)
[00:59] <laughyn1nj4> hash:  shows my ~/bin ad the beginning ... i want it at the end
[00:59] <Sp0tKubuntu> archman: Ok, i like the new KDE more than Gnome, but the older KDE is not a beaty i think :-D
[00:59] <^hashbang^> try opening a new termianl
[00:59] <^hashbang^> terminal
[00:59] <linny1> Krypton: heres the base install iso if you have usb you can put it on that https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[01:00] <archman> Sp0tKubuntu backup your system, and try it
[01:00] <Sp0tKubuntu> archman: Coming from Vista, so KDE looks a little more "alike", if you should compare then
[01:00] <laughyn1nj4> hashbang:yep...same thing
[01:00] <Sp0tKubuntu> them*
[01:00] <linny1> Krypton: it sounds like bad media tbh
[01:00] <constantine_> somehow my menu bar at the top is all sideways, don't know what my friend did to it
[01:00] <constantine_> how do I fix to the way it was
[01:00] <Sp0tKubuntu> archman: Maybe just try af live?
[01:00] <^hashbang^> laughynlnj4: try using the full path and not ~/bin
[01:00] <Sp0tKubuntu> a*
[01:00] <archman> Sp0tKubuntu right!
[01:00] <Sp0tKubuntu> Ok, i say thanks then :-)
[01:00] <mcgohenn> constantine_: all sideways, as in up and down the side of the screen?
[01:00] <laughyn1nj4> hashbang: i am doing that ... just using the ~ as a shorcut for the chat
[01:00] <archman> Sp0tKubuntu np;)
[01:01] <tiredbones> I'm trying to backup my home directory using brasero. I select the project for burning data. transfer my home directory to the add area. select "burn". give a label to the cd. it runs for a few minutes and the screens go away. I 'm assuming that it done. I install the cd again and it is blank. what is up!!!.
[01:01] <^hashbang^> laughynlnj4: ah ... hmm I've even done the ~/bin in my path "with the ~" and I still get it added to the end of my path
[01:01] <constantine_> cgohenn: no the menu is at the top but the drop down text is vertical and cut off
[01:01] <^hashbang^> can you pastebin your env output
[01:01] <vigo> tiredbones: Have you tried HUB?
[01:02] <sagredo> yo yo yo! with my update to 8.10 I no longer have a link to my network manager
[01:02] <laughyn1nj4> hashbang: pastebin?
[01:02] <sagredo> where's it at!
[01:02] <mifritscher> hi
[01:02] <cphillips> i can i get amarok to eject my ipod when i hit the "disconnect" button? it removes it from the desktop but it still shows up under Places in my panel.
[01:02] <mifritscher> is there a way to supress as much configure-questions as possible while installing packages?
[01:02] <rww> !paste | laughyn1nj4
[01:02] <cphillips> how*
[01:02] <tiredbones> vigo, what is HUB? I have tried GnomeBaker. that was even worse.
[01:03] <^hashbang^> oh laughynlnj4: take out the PATH export you have in your .profile, then source ~/.profile then do the export PATH=$PATH:~/bin again
[01:03] <Dillizar> is there any way i can put moving background for my desktop
[01:03] <laughyn1nj4> hash: ok
[01:03] <laughyn1nj4> hold on
[01:03] <vigo> tiredbones: HUB is Home User Backup, it makes it easy and simple, there is also baccula, I prefer HUB
[01:04] <kattollikisd> hi everyone, I can't see videos on the firefox using the Totem plug-in. Can someone just give me a hand? thanks
[01:04] <linny1> kattollikisd: what videos like you tube and stuff ?
[01:04] <Dillizar> kattollikisd, give me the link pls
[01:04] <^hashbang^> laughynlnj4: if that doesnt' work, try opening another new terminal and then verify that the .profile entry you had is gone with echo $PATH, then export your new PATH again
[01:04] <pike__> kattollikisd: ive never used the totem plugin. the only advise i could give would be to use the mplayer one
[01:04] <tiredbones> vigo, thanks. I'll go look for some docs on HUB.
[01:05] <constantine_> my menu bar items at the top are vertical text and I want to make them horizontal again
[01:05] <neuma22> is it possible to have a specific connection (the ssh tunnel) being delivered through a specific gateway while having a different default gateway for the rest?
[01:05] <drash> Dillizar: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/12/15/animated-wallpaper-on-your-ubuntu-810-desktop/ might be of interest to you
[01:05] <Dillizar> kattollikisd, why you dont try right click open with totem
[01:05] <vigo> My pleasure,,,it is in the Synaptic package manager, just search Back Ups or back up
[01:05] <laughyn1nj4> hash: remind me where .profile is?
[01:05] <athaki> Will Jaunty be able to import documents and settings from Vista?
[01:06] <kattollikisd> linny1, is not a youtube videos, Dillizar, the mplayer so not work because something is happening to my grafic card right now... This is the link http://www.freefullmovies.net/movies/wanted.html
[01:06] <Dillizar> drash, thanks man :)
[01:06] <drash> Dillizar: yw :)
[01:06] <^hashbang^> laughynlnj4: /etc/profile I mean (if that's the location that you placed your path to ~/bin)
[01:06] <Dillizar> drash, have you tried this
[01:07] <^hashbang^> laughynlnj4: otherwise, when you open a new terminal is the ~/bin path in your $PATH by default? if not, then nm
[01:07] <the6step> how do I remove a package I installed with aptitude through terminal
[01:07] <the6step> I can't use synaptic
[01:07] <^hashbang^> sudo apt-get remove "package name"
[01:07] <g4lt-lappy> athaki: asking to import your settings from vista is a bit much, given that ubuntu uses an entirely different system for settings
[01:07] <laughyn1nj4> hash: yea...it's there by default
[01:07] <laughyn1nj4> no mater what i do
[01:08] <g4lt-lappy> documents, depends on the app you used to make them
[01:08] <^hashbang^> laughynlnj4: ok where did you place it?
[01:08] <drash> Dillizar: yes, it worked ok (but i returned to my smooth simple no-frills desktop wallpaper (just tested it out of curiosity)
[01:08] <^hashbang^> laughynlnj4: ~/.bashrc? /etc/profile?
[01:08] <tekteen> does anyone know a cmd that will download a file only if it has changed?
[01:08] <laughyn1nj4> hash:toward the bottom of the file ... is that what your asking?
[01:08] <athaki> Well, it was worth asking anyway. Thanks! :D
[01:08] <^hashbang^> laughynlnj4: bottom of .bashrc?
[01:08] <Dillizar> kattollikisd, the playback of this movie requires a text/html decoder plugin which is not installed
[01:08] <jrib> tekteen: how are you supposed to determine if it has changed?
[01:09] <laughyn1nj4> hash: no, bottom of .profile
[01:09] <^hashbang^> tekteen: man rsync
[01:09] <tekteen> jrib: if the date last modified changed?
[01:09] <WebcamWonder> tekteen: wget has a flag that supports it, although I don't have access to man right now
[01:09] <jrib> tekteen: download from where?
[01:09] <tekteen> ^hashbang^: I do not control the server
[01:09] <jeeves_Moss> what programs are there out there for the wardriving equivilent for Bluetooth?
[01:09] <g4lt-lappy> the6step: sudo apt-get remove works, add the --purge switch if you want to get rid of the package file
[01:09] <rww> WebcamWonder: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ tends to be useful :)
[01:09] <constantine__> how do you make the menu text on the top panel horizontal when it has gone vertical?
[01:09] <tekteen> ftp://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/cycles/
[01:09] <^hashbang^> tekteen: you don't need control of the server to use rsync. you can even use rsync and ssh together...
[01:09] <anom01y> is it normal for firefox to crash the x user of another user ?
[01:10] <WebcamWonder> rww: By I don't have access, I mean, I am too lazy to open up even the terminal :P
[01:10] <g4lt-lappy> constantine_drag and drop
[01:10] <rww> WebcamWonder: oh, I see :)
[01:10] <tekteen> ^hashbang^: it is a public ftp server, no ssh
[01:10] <rdw200169> jeeves_Moss, you're not gonna get a whole lot of help on that here.  we try to stay legal in how we do things in this channel
[01:10] <^hashbang^> laughynlnj4: where is this .profile file?
[01:10] <jeeves_Moss> rdw200169, I guess the better question would have been "bluetooth utilities"
[01:10] <^hashbang^> tekteen: yea, wget is your best bet then...
[01:11] <tekteen> ^hashbang^: I looked through the entire man page
[01:11] <tekteen> I found nothing on date last modified
[01:11] <laughyn1nj4> hashbang: it's actualy in my ~/ dir
[01:11] <kattollikisd> Dillizar, Exacly, that was the totem say "the playback of this movie requires a text/html decoder plugin which is not installed"
[01:11] <tekteen> unless it was in recursive mirror mode
[01:11] <tekteen> ^hashbang^: ^
[01:11] <WebcamWonder> tekteen: -N is the one you are looking for: turns on timestamping
[01:11] <rdw200169> kattollikisd, i think the MIME type for the file you want to play is screwed up
[01:11] <^hashbang^> laughynlnj4: ok do a mv .profile to profile just for this test
[01:11] <tekteen> thanks
[01:12] <Dillizar> so install it :D kattollikisd
[01:12] <bernz> jeeves_Moss, the most rewarding experience is to write your own utilities.  then you will truly understand the protocols. then you might even get a job as an expert. but usually it's just for fun. :-)
[01:12] <Ex-QuAke[DOD]-M-> Hi I hope that this is from Ubuntu.com

[01:13] <tekteen> WebcamWonder: thanks. I am planning on putting it in a program. wget works on windows too so it can someday be ported :-)
[01:13] <Ex-QuAke[DOD]-M-> ok I think something is wrong with a mail. I never receive a mail with Ubuntu's new version since last October. I actually clicked on submit.
[01:14] <rdw200169> Ex-QuAke[DOD]-M-, you're talking about a problem you're having with Evolution, the e-mail client?
[01:14] <Ex-QuAke[DOD]-M-> That's right after you released Ubuntu's new version....
[01:14] <WebcamWonder> tekteen: No problems. Glad to help :)

[01:14] <Ashok_> hey i'm having some livecd trouble...i tried to run it in gfx safemode and removed the splash and silent options on the boot line, and now i just have a command prompt.  I tried startx and got Fatal server error: no screens found giving up.
[01:14] <^hashbang^> laughynlnj4: dude... this is spooky
[01:14] <baxou_> I'm maybe asking a silly question, but I wonder if someone has a good programming irc server to propose me?
[01:15] <^hashbang^> laughynlnj4: pastbin.com your env, and pastbin.com your command you are using to export with

[01:15] <Ex-QuAke[DOD]-M-> Let me look into my account and date.

[01:15] <Ashok_> can anyone help me with an x server fatal error?
[01:15] <rdw200169> Ashok_, well, i'm not *sure* but you could try to use the script /etc/init.d/gdm... this works on the regular install, i don't know about the livecd though

[01:16] <JonasNZ> Hi Guys, Which is the best channel to get support for making apt packages?
[01:16] <bernz> Guest15306: i know it's not a "quick fix", but with some web searching, you'll find out exactly where firefox for ubuntu (gnu linux) stores your bookmark file, usually in the subdirectory-sub-tree of your home directory ('/home/yourusername'), in a "secret"/"hidden" directory starting with a period
[01:16] <sagredo> how can I generate a list of all the programs I've installed that aren't default?
[01:16] <Ex-QuAke[DOD]-M-> 1 CDs requested       on 2008-11-09.                                  1           CDs were approved and sent to the shipping company           on 2008-11-10.

[01:18] <kattollikisd> Dillizar, ok...
[01:18] <Pici> Ex-QuAke[DOD]-M-: We do not have control over shipit.ubuntu.com here.  I believe that there is a contact email address on their site that you can use if you are having issues with your order.
[01:18] <jpedroza> I should mention that this is in Totem
[01:19] <tiredbones> vigo, I installed HUB. How do you start it?

[01:21] <ASrock> are there any vnc servers for ubuntu that have a gui?
[01:21] <kattollikisd> Dillizar, if you say so (I hate google... but you let me with one choose) thanks anyway
[01:21] <pckchem> IntuitiveNipple: I need to match a word after another word. For example, any word that comes after the word "in"
[01:22] <Dillizar> ricardo_, http://tinyurl.com/ceve2b this will help
[01:22] <Dillizar> kattollikisd, but i think i saw the answer in some forum
[01:22] <pckchem> IntuitiveNipple: so for example, "in firefox-3.0" should match firefox-3.0

[01:23] <pckchem> IntuitiveNipple: It seemed really easy at first, but I'm having trouble getting any regex I write to match anything past the "in", no matter how greedy I write the expression
[01:23] <Dillizar> kattollikisd, or just try another web joox.net or smt like that
[01:23] <Dillizar> ricardo_, are you talking bout the google :D
[01:24] <ricardo_> yes about the google
[01:24] <IntuitiveNipple> pckchem: /in ([\w-]+)/
[01:24] <Dillizar> what do ya want to know ricardo_  its a web site called www.letmegooglethatforyou.com

[01:26] <Dillizar> ricardo_, thanks i say that someone from my pc was on a porn site i will kick some ass thanks :D

[01:28] <Krypton> i am sorry, but i have had this prob. for 3 days now, it is getting to me
[01:28] <Dillizar> Krypton, are you on a live cd
[01:28] <Sp0tKubuntu> Dillizar: Ok, dosent make sense to make it then
[01:29] <WebcamWonder> ricardo_: It is recommended to get a debian package if it is available
[01:29] <rww> Krypton: it'd be useful if you started by telling us the error you get.
[01:29] <Krypton> yes i am
[01:29] <linny1> ricardo_: rpm is red hat you could comipile from source or find debs
[01:29] <jrib> ricardo_: you try to avoid it and use ubuntu's repositories instead.  What are you trying to install?
[01:29] <Dillizar> Krypton,  is you hdd empty
[01:29] <pckchem> IntuitiveNipple: Hmm, it doesn't seem like its working
[01:29] <Krypton> all it says is that i might have a faulty hd/cd drive
[01:29] <ryanprior> ricardo_: Software with the .rpm extension is designed for Red Hat and derivative distributions, not for Ubuntu or Debian-based distributions. However, it can sometimes be installed using a rpm-to-deb converter called Alien.
[01:29] <Krypton> yes i just emptied it
[01:29] <Dillizar> Krypton, how with windows??
[01:30] <Krypton> what do you mean?
[01:30] <Krypton> vista and xp can install fine
[01:30] <Dillizar> Krypton,  what is the version you are trying to install
[01:30] <Krypton> same with mandriva
[01:30] <Krypton> i am trying to install 8.10
[01:30] <Dillizar> Krypton, if you had vista before there is some problem

[01:36] <Stepan1> I need help using Forecast document recovery
[01:37] <linny1> Krypton: youll need to burn a new cd to rule out a bad disc
[01:37] <negativegluebear> thanks webcamwonder.  exactly what i was wondering.  would the RGB out work, then?
[01:37] <jp_sf> Krypton: a bad iso CD maybe no ?
[01:37] <usser> detabbed, this will basically cause any file created by a user to be owned by www-data group instead of the user's primary group, you may also need to adjust uid mask in /etc/profile so any new files created will have group write permissions
[01:37] <WebcamWonder> negativegluebear: That would be the best any SD could go. For HD, you need any carrier that natively supports HD
[01:37] <tiredbones> vigo, Now that's the way a package should work. And it keeps to the KISS principle.
[01:38] <Pici> Krypton: Have you checked your CD for errors?
[01:38] <Pici> !verify | Krypton
[01:38] <Krypton> ive only got one more CD, so can i donwlaod the ISO from the livecd and burn it from the livecd
[01:38] <Gustavo_G> If there is nothing in the hosts.deny and nothing in the hosts.allow, does that mean that anything should be able to connect to a server on this machine?
[01:38] <detabbed> thank you usser
[01:38] <usser> detabbed, no problem
[01:39] <jp_sf> Krypton: you tried to install it from the live CD ?
[01:39] <baz_> i can attest that foo, bar, baz is typed at least once a day
[01:39] <Krypton> yes
[01:39] <jp_sf> Krytpon: put the nick of the personn before you type otherwise people might miss your reply
[01:40] <Krypton> jp_sf: yes
[01:40] <Krypton> jp_sf: i did try
[01:40] <jp_sf> Krypton: instead of booting to the livecd did you try to install from the boot menu ?
[01:40] <Krypton> thats what i tried first
[01:40] <Krypton> jp_sf: no dice
[01:41] <jp_sf> Krypton: at the boot you tried the option to install (not run the CD) and then you choose partition and then when copied the files it stopped ?
[01:41] <Krypton> jp_sf: exactly at 50% it stopped (i asked for it to install on the whole disk)
[01:42] <g4lt-lappy> BG_: yes, but not easily.  IDE systems have room for four partitions by definition.  you can sac one of those to make extended partitions and go up to 8, but it's nontrivial
[01:42] <jp_sf> Krypton do you have a message something ? did you tried to install in a different graphic mode ? vesa or whatever ?
[01:42] <dou213> hey guys, how can i change the history file size?
[01:43] <niku> g4lt-lappy, I'd disagree, with a graphical tool like gpartd, it's pretty trivial
[01:43] <jpedroza> just a 411, I got DVD playback working. Looks like I needed to remove Totem-gstreamer and install totem-xine. Playback works flawlessly.
[01:44] <dou213> i did a export HISTSIZE=3000 && export HISTFILESIZE=3000 ... with echo $.. i see it is set to 3000, just that when i login again and echo $.., it appears again on default 500

[01:48] <Krypton1> jp_sf: this will be my last and if it don't work then... I will go back to Windoze and I really dont want to
[01:48] <fearful> GeffIsLegend: Change both Sound In and Sound Out on the sound devices option to: HDA Intel (hw:intel,0)
[01:48] <Krypton1> so the ISO said it will be done in an hour and a half
[01:48] <fearful> GeffIsLegend: Then do a test call
[01:48] <magikid> For some reason, when I press the 'up' key in a terminal window, ubuntu takes a screenshot.  Any help would be appreciated.
[01:48] <GeffIsLegend> ok ill try that
[01:48] <jp_sf> Krypton1: it looks like probably a bad CDroom, it happens, if your LiveCD can boot you could burn an iso from there
[01:49] <g4lt-lappy> negativegluebear: yes, the reason is s-video is SDTV, thus 480i
[01:49] <Krypton1> jp_sf: if tis not a bd cd-rom what can i do?
[01:49] <GeffIsLegend> i dont have those as a option fearfull
[01:49] <GeffIsLegend> i have the nvidia ones
[01:49] <fearful> GeffIsLegend: Try the first one then
[01:49] <Dante_J> Greetings room
[01:49] <Krypton1> jp_sf: also how do I burn the iso once its done
[01:49]  * Dante_J waves
[01:50] <GeffIsLegend> and my webcam is my mic atm connected through usb, does that complicate things?
[01:50] <jp_sf> Krypton1: you have tools to burn CD if you have a CDrom burner
[01:50] <fearful> GeffIsLegend: We will try different options, one of the ones there has to work for you.
[01:50] <cphillips> whats the best way to convert a fla to a video file like avi?
[01:50] <Krypton1> jp_sf: yes but what software from the livecd
[01:51] <jp_sf> Krypton1: the livecd can maybe but when it must copy all the packages it might run into some scratch on the CD
[01:51] <GeffIsLegend> oh okay
[01:51] <jp_sf> Krypton1: cdrecord
[01:51] <GeffIsLegend> i just tried all the settings there was available , but none seemed to work
[01:52] <fearful> GeffIsLegend: Ok I'm going to need some information about your sound/webcam/mic
[01:52] <Krypton1> jp_sf: whre is cdrecord
[01:52] <Guest28692> hi
[01:52] <GeffIsLegend> i have the Phillips SPC 1000NC Webcam

[01:55] <ripdisk> i'm in a pickle here
[01:55] <ripdisk> i want to put ubuntu on my desktop
[01:55] <Dante_J> Hey Room I have a question: I'm using Ubuntu 8.04.2. I've not seen any patches in the last week or so and I'm expecting at very least the firefox 3.0.6 patch which I have under Fedora 10. There seems to be others missing too. I'm using generic repositories for Au. What's the story?
[01:55] <ripdisk> but for some reason, ubuntu and other distros
[01:56] <ripdisk> they won't install to the HDD
[01:56] <ripdisk> i tried to partition it through the partition manager in the setup
[01:56] <ripdisk> and it juse freezes
[01:56] <Delvien> bobbyyg change the permissions to your current user
[01:56] <bobbyyg> Delvien, How?
[01:57] <ripdisk> i tried to partition it through the partition manager in the setup and it freezes
[01:57] <Dante_J> bobbyyg: su username

[01:57] <ripdisk> oops
[01:57] <Stepan1> Where does recoverjpeg store recovered images
[01:57] <ripdisk> i want to put ubuntu on my desktop
[01:57] <ripdisk> but for some reason, ubuntu and other distros

[01:57] <ripdisk> i tried to partition it through the partition manager in the setup and it freezes

[01:58] <marieddu> sorry
[01:58] <bobbyyg> delvien, I'm new to this, is that a command line instruction, can I do it from the desktop, I'm the only user
[01:58] <klata> maybe the HDD is broken
[01:58] <ripdisk> no, windows will install just fine
[01:58] <Delvien> bobbyyg: start nautilus with gksu, right click, and change the owner of the files.
[01:58] <klata> oh i c
[01:58] <ripdisk> it's just linux distros
[01:59] <Ademan> anyone know if I can get python 2.6 from backports or something in intrepid?
[01:59] <Coded_> I'm stuck, I installed 8.10 on a box with just onboard ethernet connected to another box with an atheros wifi adapter(running 8.10 as well), I got rid of the box and kept the card thinking it should be a snap, I plugin the wifi card and it gets detected ('iwlist ath0 scan' gives me my access point) but when I try to connect to the ap using wep "sudo iwconfig ath0 essid NetName key 12345... channel 4 && sudo dhclient ath0" I can't g

[01:59] <Stepan1> Where does recoverjpeg store recovered images?
[01:59] <Stepan1> ---
[02:00] <Dante_J> I suggested using su, as I thought bobbyyg wanted to change user permissions. my mistake
[02:00] <ripdisk> nobody knows why it won't install
[02:00] <K`zan> How can I get ahold of the <IP_ADDRESS> kernel that comes with 8.10 in 8.04 - my new MB resources are not in the 8.04 kernel.  I do NOT want to go to KDE4 nor gnome.  TMIA!
[02:00] <ripdisk> '?
[02:01] <Dante_J> ripdisk: are you a bot? if not more detail would help
[02:01] <K`zan> I did get the latest kernel from kernel.org and built it, but evidentally the ubuntu patches are not in it :-(.
[02:01] <bobbyyg> It appears that my version of Ubuntu ,which I loaded two two weeks ago, doesnt have nautilius
[02:01] <marieddu> hello people
[02:01] <pike__> K`zan: might still be on packages.ubuntu.com
[02:01] <Dante_J> hi marieddu
[02:01] <jrib> !kernel > K`zan
[02:01] <jrib> bobbyyg: are you using GNOME?
[02:01] <K`zan> pike__:  Thanks, checking.
[02:02] <enjoyfrancis> y0
[02:02] <pike__> bobbyyg: thunar ftw
[02:02] <bobbyyg> jrib, dont know,
[02:02] <jrib> bobbyyg: open a terminal and type "nautilus"
[02:02] <usser> pcmanfm ftw
[02:03] <zerothis> sorry about using an online client, main computers down. if i installed ubuntu using wubi can I safely use a live CD to poke arround on the drive to try and rescue windows xp? specifically, altering the boot.ini file?
[02:04] <ari_stress> morning all :)
[02:04] <lucax> how can i disable gnome keyring??
[02:04] <Dante_J> hi ari_stress
[02:04] <ripdisk> ubuntu won't install tomy HDD
[02:04] <ripdisk> to my*
[02:04] <Dante_J> Room, Where have all the patches gone? why are they delayed for Ubuntu 8.04? Still no Firefox patch?
[02:05] <BG_> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=409129&highlight=saving+home+directory
[02:05] <nickrud> zerothis, you can certainly use the live cd to edit boot.ini, safely is how well you edit it
[02:05] <ripdisk> ubuntu won't install to my HDD... please help
[02:05] <niku> Dante_J, ? it's a Long term support release
[02:05] <Dante_J> indeed
[02:05] <niku> !install | ripdisk
[02:05] <bobbyyg> jrib, looks like that got me back into a file browser,  give me a minute to look around
[02:05] <mandrig> ripdisk: how did you try installing?
[02:05] <nickrud> Dante_J, last I loooked the firefox was 'going through the security build process'
[02:05] <Dante_J> and that patch for Firefox is a necessary security patch
[02:06] <ripdisk> from the CD
[02:06] <ripdisk> i tried both live and from the installation
[02:06] <K`zan> jrib: Thanks, I think that might work, giving it a go now.  Much appreciated Sir!
[02:06] <mandrig> ripdisk: did you get an error, what happened? Youre going to have to be a lot more specific.
[02:07] <Dante_J> The Firefox patch Is almost 2 weeks behind fedora? what gives? It's the same source.
[02:07] <zerothis> nickrud ok, so it won't automatically destroy my dual boot setup. i'll make a backup and be careful, thanks
[02:07]  * zerothis afk
[02:07] <ripdisk> mandrig: it just freezes up
[02:07] <ripdisk> it stops installing when i try to resize my partition
[02:08] <ripdisk> and if i don't resize..
[02:08] <ripdisk> it stops at installation
[02:08] <jrib> Dante_J: why do you expect that patch to hit the repositories?
[02:08] <Dante_J> ripdisk: what are the filesystem types mentioned in the partitioning part?
[02:08] <bobbyyg> jrib, I still get to the properties/permissions page that says owner root
[02:08] <ripdisk> just an ntfs with xp on it
[02:08] <mandrig> ripdisk: resizing partitions takes a long time, as it moves data from part of the hard drive to another part. You've got to allow it time to do it.
[02:08] <ripdisk> i know this
[02:08] <jrib> bobbyyg: start from the beginning as I have no idea what your issue is
[02:08] <ripdisk> i've done it before
[02:08] <Dante_J> because it's a necessary security patch.
[02:08] <Dante_J> http://secunia.com/advisories/33799/
[02:08] <ripdisk> but it doesn't move
[02:08] <ripdisk> it stops completely
[02:09] <ripdisk> i let it sit over night
[02:09] <ripdisk> nothing
[02:09] <FloodBot2> ripdisk: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:09] <nefrin> I'm having an issue trying to install Ubuntu. I am trying to manually set the partitions to the follow: /boot 256MB, / 20GB, swap 2GB, /home 100GB, (if I use this setup the other 300GB's are labled as "unusable" during the install partition
[02:09] <jrib> Dante_J: bugs.ubuntu.com then
[02:09] <bobbyyg> Jrib, I have old MP3s that I can't edit the album name, artist etc
[02:09] <xoox> What is the "overflow" filesystem in the output of "df"?
[02:09] <jrib> bobbyyg: what is their location?
[02:10] <Dante_J> thanks jrib, I'll check. It just seems odd as there are other patches missing. ntpd, sudo & others
[02:10] <bernz> nefrin, it might be useful to have a good understanding of general PC disk partitioning; i can explain this via PM if you are interested
[02:10] <nefrin> bernz ---- yes, I would appreciate that
[02:10] <Destinova> Hello everybody.

[02:11] <Dante_J> jrib: LTS means long term support ...

[02:13] <shadow451> hello
[02:13] <shadow451> I am new here, and am lost
[02:13] <jrib> Dante_J: find the relevant bug.  You can try asking #ubuntu-motu about security update policies as well I suppose
[02:13] <Krypton> umm can some1 tell me if i am doing the right hing? I check my iso and th ehashes are =, but when i checked the cd for defects it said one error infile, should i burna new cd and ubuntu will install fine?
[02:13] <Krypton> because im getting stuck at 50%
[02:13] <Dante_J> jrib: You've been very helpful. Many thanks :)
[02:14] <shadow451> ok...........this is a support for ubuntu
[02:14] <Zeeded> yes
[02:14] <mandrig> Krypton: Yes, as there could have been an error while burning the iso to disk.
[02:14] <bobbyyg> shadow451, I'm new here too, but we can't be lost cuz were here
[02:14] <shadow451> sorry..thought it just a chat

[02:14]  * Dante_J waves farewell
[02:14] <Dante_J> cheers room
[02:14] <rww> Krypton: If your defect check says there are errors, then yes, you need to reburn it
[02:14] <shadow451> been lost most of my life...in very small rooms
[02:15] <Zeeded> shadow451, well it is not just for support but that is the base of it
[02:15] <rww> !ot

[02:15] <Zeeded> shadow451, Im a liar
[02:15] <dusty_> Hey guys whats a good equaliser for gnome ? so i can tweak the bass of my sub etc ?
[02:16] <shadow451> can i use photo shop here?
[02:16] <bobbyyg> jrib, could you repeat that in english, I'm not any good at command line stuff
[02:16] <bpcomp> ok so I messed up an install of some brother printer drivers somehow and now any time I try to do anything with package manager or apt-get I get an error that "The package hl5070nlpr needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it."
[02:16] <jrib> bobbyyg: open a terminal and run the command « mount ».  Then pastebin the output at paste.ubuntu.com
[02:16] <pike__> any full featured gtk2 music players without alot of gnome dependancies?

[02:17] <jadew> hi guys, I just installed ubuntu 8.10 and my pc keeps booting in windows, no sign of grub anywhere
[02:18] <bobbyyg> jrib, does "pastebin" mean cut and paste at that website?
[02:18] <hendrixski> help.  I installed cairo-dock, and for some reason I misconfigured it... then ran apt-get --purge remove  and re-installed it... but the config is still all messed up
[02:18] <jrib> bobbyyg: yes
[02:18] <dusty_> Hey guys whats a good equaliser for gnome ? so i can tweak the bass of my sub etc ?
[02:18] <bobbyyg> jrib, so what will that accomplish
[02:18] <usser> hendrixski, config file is stored in your home directory so you have to remove .cairo-dock or some similar folder/file in your $HOME
[02:18] <jadew> how can I start ubuntu from the hdd using the cd?
[02:18] <jrib> bobbyyg: it will let me see it so I can help you
[02:18] <jadew> I can't find any clear instructions
[02:18] <GeffIsLegend> anyone else know a lot about skype on ubuntu and know why my mic wont seem to work on it for some reason?
[02:19] <hendrixski> usser: oh... that makes sense, lemme try that and re-install
[02:19] <aaditya> jadew: are you trying to install Ubuntu from CD to HDD?
[02:19] <jadew> aaditya, I already isntalled it from the CD
[02:19] <jadew> it just won't boot up
[02:19] <aaditya> jadew: dual boot?
[02:19] <jadew> the old system boots up instead (xp)
[02:19] <jadew> yeah
[02:19] <TeamColtra[TFD]> I have a USB headset/micset and I was wondering how to find the name my audio is just "system:playback_1" but the capture: doesn't work
[02:19]  * hendrixski wonders why the ~/.cairo-dock folder doesn't get purged...
[02:19] <ImSad> Hey, I need help on how to burn an ISO to a USB flash drive.
[02:20] <bpcomp> imsad look up unetbootin
[02:20] <TeamColtra[TFD]> I guess my question is how do I map my USB Media Device
[02:20] <jrib> hendrixski: why would it?
[02:20] <bobbyyg> jrib, looks like this may take a while and I have an Antique Tractor Club Meeting is 1.5 hours,  Thanks, I'll try this again tomorrow
[02:20] <jrib> bobbyyg: ok
[02:20] <usser> hendrixski, only system wide config files get purged whatever users do within their own directory is their own business
[02:20] <usser> ImSad, get unetbootin
[02:20] <hendrixski> I guess that makes sense...
[02:21] <Gcdm> i need some help
[02:21] <hendrixski> it's just that sudo rm -r ~/.whatever  doesn't feel like the natural way to reset the configuration of something
[02:21] <GeffIsLegend> anyone else know a lot about skype on ubuntu and know why my mic wont seem to work on it for some reason? its a usb mic/webcam i use as a mic mainly though
[02:21] <jadew> any idea on my problem?
[02:22] <cfedde> how does 8.10 boot? and what happened to inittab?
[02:22] <TeamColtra[TFD]> GeffIsLegend: Did you set it to be the USB device in the prefrences of Skype?
[02:22] <hendrixski> GeffIsLegend: Skype is a bitch ... you have to go to the sound settings in Skype and try all the different options for sound input and output
[02:22] <Guest13762> how do i install my graphics card???
[02:22] <TeamColtra[TFD]> Its not really that hard as hhendrixski implys
[02:23] <GeffIsLegend> it used to work before i got ubuntu though :-/
[02:23] <Guest13762> hello
[02:23] <bpcomp> can anyone help me with my bjorked install
[02:23] <TeamColtra[TFD]> GeffIsLegend:  Click Ctrl+O to get to options
[02:23] <GeffIsLegend> and in skype it specifically shows up as the name of my webcam/mic which is Phillips
[02:23] <TeamColtra[TFD]> now go to Sound Devices
[02:23] <GeffIsLegend> Phillips SPC 1000NC is what shows up, which is my webcam, then i set it to that, then test call but it says there is a error
[02:24] <TeamColtra[TFD]> and make your sound in and sound out something probably like C-Media USB Headphone Set
[02:24] <bpcomp> ok so I messed up an install of some brother printer drivers somehow and now any time I try to do anything with package manager or apt-get I get an error that "The package hl5070nlpr needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it."

[02:34] <TeamColtra[TFD]> GeffIsLegend: don't worry about it ... I bet 80% of the people here don't know about it :D
[02:35] <GeffIsLegend> TeamColtra[TFD]: well it shows up as the model name of the actual webcam, which is Phillips SPC 1000NC to be exact, show it be showing up as USB device or something?
[02:35] <Guest13762> lol im back
[02:35] <eater9> Scunizi: yes, it's running xserver-xorg-video-intel
[02:36] <Guest13762> all i need o know is how to install the drivers. i downloaded them and was told to type sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.22-pkg1.run somewhere
[02:36] <eater9> Scunizi: the display is fine; but Gnome places the panels and popups a couple inches from the bottom of the screen, instead of right on the bottom where they belong
[02:36] <Scunizi> eater9: if you haven't yet you might open a terminal and sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[02:36] <TeamColtra[TFD]> GeffIsLegend: is the webcam combined with the audio device?
[02:36] <Guest13762> where do i type it?
[02:36] <TeamColtra[TFD]> Guest13762: terminal
[02:36] <GeffIsLegend> TeamColtra[TFD]: not quite sure i understand that
[02:36] <eater9> Scunizi: yes, everything's up to date
[02:36] <mandrig> Guest13762: type <alt> + <F2> then type xterm
[02:36] <Guest13762> how do i get to terminal?

[02:38] <judgepg> hi folks, can anyone help me mount an external HDD?  Ubuntu can't seem to recognize the HDD, but windows can.  Any thoughts?
[02:38] <eater9> usser: it's a laptop
[02:38] <Guest13762> think i may have got it
[02:39] <usser> eater9, oh sorry then
[02:39] <cfedde> Ok.  where are the upstart config files kept?
[02:39] <bpcomp> judgepg is it a usb external hdd?

[02:41] <mandrig> ripdisk: I'm not sure what to tell you...
[02:41] <TeamColtra[TFD]> @ fearful I am glad I was able to assist you :D
[02:41] <bpcomp> judgepg: try dmsg in the command line to see if you can find out about it in there

[02:42] <Mortuis> where do I make changes to $PATH?
[02:42] <bpcomp> sorry dmesg
[02:42] <Mortuis> when I echo $PATH I get a bunch of folders, I'd like to add one but I can't find where it's defined
[02:42] <eydaimon> Mortuis: .bashrc would work.
[02:42] <vigo> ripdisk: Guided or Manual?
[02:42] <ripdisk> guided
[02:43] <eydaimon> Mortuis: you can always jsut do export PATH=$PATH:/new/path
[02:43] <Mortuis> eydaimon: I don't see the current definition in .bashrc and there is no .bash_profile
[02:43] <TeamColtra[TFD]> GeffIsLegend: Switch to Mac (NOOO! JUST KIDDING) I honestly don't know... what error message is Skype giving you?
[02:43] <Scunizi> eater9: check out this thread  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1011784
[02:43] <eydaimon> Mortuis: you don't need to see the current definition, you can use the export I showed you to add to it there
[02:43] <ripdisk> vigo: nguided
[02:43] <eydaimon> Mortuis: and you can try it on the commandline first
[02:43] <vigo> ripdisk: I am stumped then, Grub loader should use the free space only....hrmmm
[02:43] <GeffIsLegend> TeamColtra[TFD]:  "Problem with audio playback"
[02:43] <Mortuis> eydaimon: would that change carry over when I reboot?
[02:43] <TeamColtra[TFD]> Are you trying to make it your sound out and ringing?
[02:43] <judgepg> bpcomp, it does seem to recognize the drive in dmesg what do you suggest?
[02:43] <TeamColtra[TFD]> @ GeffIsLegend ^
[02:44] <eper3z> how do i fix my arrow keys?
[02:44] <GeffIsLegend> no just sound out
[02:44] <GeffIsLegend> TeamColtra[TFD]: no just sound out
[02:44] <eydaimon> Mortuis: if you save your .bashrc and it gets loaded, sure
[02:44] <cfedde> who else here thinks that the upstart doc is a bit incomplete?
[02:44] <TeamColtra[TFD]> GeffIsLegend: Is it a mic and a speaker?

[02:44] <eater9> Scunizi: I don't think it's a video driver problem, because XFCE and KDE work fine -- just Gnome is having trouble positioning its furniture
[02:45] <Mortuis> eydaimon: okay, so you're saying to echo $PATH and then add that to my ~/.bashrc with the changes?
[02:45] <vigo> ripdisk: use Guided, the machine is maybe trying to write to protected or other formatted volumes
[02:45] <GeffIsLegend> TeamColtra[TFD]:  no just a webcam
[02:45] <ripdisk> vigo, i did
[02:45] <ripdisk> i used guided
[02:45] <ripdisk> that's what i said
[02:45] <Naisel> l
[02:45] <TeamColtra[TFD]> GeffIsLegend:  That has a speaker in it yes?
[02:45] <TeamColtra[TFD]> sorry mic
[02:45] <Scunizi> eater9: have you tried booting into the recover kernel and fix it there.. there's suppose to be an option to do that..
[02:45] <vigo> ripdisk: Installing on a win partition?
[02:45] <eydaimon> Mortuis: no, you don't need to add it. all you need to put in there is `export PATH=$PATH:/new/path`.  The $PATH will just assign what's already sent, then you add to it, and store the new one.
[02:45] <_2> can someone explain me something about "swap space usage"  and why OOMK would be killing things before swap is filled ???
[02:46] <ripdisk> yes
[02:46] <eater9> Scunizi: do you know what i'd look for when i do that?
[02:46] <ripdisk> but it did this even before i had windows on it, vigo
[02:46] <GeffIsLegend> TeamColtra[TFD]:  no sir, just a micraphone
[02:46] <judgepg> bpcomp, any thoughts?
[02:46] <Scunizi> eater9: I think it will just ask you what you want to do
[02:46] <TeamColtra[TFD]> GeffIsLegend: If there is no speaker on it... then don't set the sound out to it because it cant give sound out
[02:46] <Mortuis> eydaimon: Okay, thanks
[02:46] <vigo> ripdisk: Is the win part clean and stable drive?
[02:46] <Scunizi> eater9: with a list.. a,b.c.d. etc
[02:46] <ripdisk> the windows part works.. yes
[02:46] <TeamColtra[TFD]> GeffIsLegend: Its why its freaking out... You are telling it to send audio out something that is audio in only
[02:47]  * _2 likes GeffIsLegend's spelling,   :)
[02:47] <dutch> can anyone help me get pulseaudio working?
[02:47] <bpcomp> judgepg: you know that your drive is "sdb" so look on google for manually mounting an external drive
[02:47] <TeamColtra[TFD]> Its like... nevermind I will query your annalogy
[02:47] <GeffIsLegend> TeamColtra[TFD]:  oo so change it to audioin?

[02:55] <_2> fearful out of memory kill
[02:55] <sharef> because right now it shows my root
[02:55] <dmphotography> Thanks fearful, that looks identical.
[02:55] <Krypton> Thanks guys alot, i succesfully installed Ubuntu
[02:55] <WebcamWonder> _2: Is it really killing apps? It looks as if it lets swap go past 100%
[02:55] <_2> fearful it's a kernel system call
[02:55] <fearful> dmphotography: Your welcome
[02:55] <dmphotography> Is it difficult to install?
[02:55] <_2> WebcamWonder yes.
[02:56] <dmphotography> And does it change anything about Ubuntu?
[02:56] <Krypton> Do i need to install anything now in order to play open arena? I have ATI 3200 IGP and want to get some games kicked on this baby
[02:56] <fearful> _2: Wait but thats just monitoring your swap usage?
[02:56] <sharef> desktop folder variable defanition anyone???
[02:56] <_2> WebcamWonder kolorpaint in particular.   trying to edit some scanned images,   to open more than one at a time i need to access about 600m
[02:57] <WebcamWonder> _2: Well, it seems it was good in its decision regarding which app to kill, just b/c it is killing is the bad thing
[02:57] <_2> fearful the pastebin is only the output of a while loop that i was using to monitor ram and swap usage   yes.
[02:57] <bpcomp> sharef: I'm not sure what your asking. My desktop folder is /home/user/Desktop
[02:57] <fearful> _2: ah alright
[02:57] <_2> WebcamWonder correct.
[02:57] <bpcomp> anything I put on my desktop goes in that folder
[02:58] <psufan> Hello
[02:58] <_2> WebcamWonder as you can see in the pastebin "http://pastebin.com/f6288e4c8"  the swap space is not being used before OOMK jumps in.
[02:58] <Krypton> Do i need to install anything now in order to play open arena? I have ATI 3200 IGP and want to get some games kicked on this baby
[02:58] <zaapiel-mobile> y0
[02:58] <Krypton> like drivers?
[02:58] <zaapiel-mobile> can i use skype on ubuntu 8.10?
[02:59] <zaapiel-mobile> i dont see an option for it on the skype website
[02:59] <psufan> how is yall?
[02:59] <tritium> psufan: never heard of it
[02:59] <_2> WebcamWonder and i tried the default "-1" "32k" and "1" priorities     none help.
[02:59] <psufan> huh?
[02:59] <tritium> Never heard of "yall".  What is it?  A software package?

[03:00] <_2> WebcamWonder looking
[03:00] <WebcamWonder> _2: Although, then it would panik if it can't allocate memory
[03:01] <_2> WebcamWonder heh  yeah.  kernel panic rather than app killed is kinda counter intuitive
[03:01] <_2> a
[03:02] <Krypton> Hi, guys, when I goto the hardware drivers and clcik activate for ati drivers, a bar comes up and nothing happens
[03:02] <sharef> how do i increase my swap space??
[03:02] <WebcamWonder> _2: Well, I would think that it would panic only once an app tries to get some memory and it is not avialable. But it seems as if OOM is kicked in way befoer that even happens
[03:02] <fearful> sharef: Log in the Live CD and disable swap then resize it to the size of your choice, and enable it again.
[03:04] <_2> WebcamWonder WebcamWonder yeah OOMK seems to be called in place of IO_MEM  or what ever is supposed to swap pages.
[03:04] <serr> hi
[03:04] <IntuitiveNipple> sharef: Use swapon/swapoff to disable/enable, then use mkswap to create it. If it is in a partition (not a file) you need to think about the added complication of resizing, and the effect on other partitions
[03:05] <serr> who wud share my sorrow ?????????????
[03:05] <_2> WebcamWonder i'm kinda wondering if it's a bug in the latest dapper kernel update...  i think i'll boot an older kernel and test
[03:05] <WebcamWonder> _2: You are still on dapper?
[03:05] <serr> kernel droped
[03:05] <WebcamWonder> _2: Wake up sheeple :P
[03:05] <serr> kernel droped
[03:05] <serr> kernel droped
[03:05] <Krypton> when I goto the hardware drivers and clcik activate for ati drivers, a bar comes up and nothing happens, how do i install the latest ati drivers?
[03:06] <_2> WebcamWonder dapper is LTS for a reason.
[03:06] <serr> kernel droped
[03:06] <WebcamWonder> _2: :), I was kidding :)
[03:06] <eipipuz> someone that can help me with a permission denied?
[03:06] <woody86> does anyone know why when conky starts automatically on start-up, it disappears after a second or two but keeps running behind the desktop?

[03:07] <md5> Hello, I have a problem with vmware. I have Ubuntu 8.10 and Windows XP on my computer. From XP I am trying to connect to Ubuntu with vmware. Everything is ok, the only problem the keyboard doesn't work. What should I do? I believe that I need to change something in configuration file.
[03:07] <woody86> pike_, in ubuntu
[03:08] <dmphotography> @ md5, Have you used VMWare before?
[03:08] <md5> dmphotography, long time ago
[03:08] <Krypton> when I goto the hardware drivers and clcik activate for ati drivers, a bar comes up and nothing happens, how do i install the latest ati drivers?
[03:09] <dmphotography> You shouldn't have any trouble.  Once you click inside the Linux OS, your keyboard should work fine.
[03:09] <derenrich> can i get ufw to have separate rules for eahc of my NICs?
[03:09] <jillian> i'm an ubuntu virgin and need help upgrading my ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10
[03:09] <Phillomath> woody86:  What have you set the own_window preference to in .conkyrc?
[03:09] <jillian> i am totally lost
[03:09] <dmphotography> Did you install and leave everything default?
[03:09] <derenrich> jillian: what's the problem?
[03:09] <md5> dmphotography, but it doesn't. Mouse works fine, but keyboard doesn't work.
[03:09] <fearful> jillian: What's the problem?
[03:09] <WebcamWonder> !upgrade | jillian
[03:10] <jillian> i tried installing but an error message came up saying that it couldn't install
[03:10] <dmphotography> md5: Hmm, if you installed it correctly and didn't change the default option for the keyboard, then it should work.
[03:10] <jillian> it took 2 hours to download and then i got stuck
[03:10] <md5> dmphotography, Few little changes, but it doesn't have anything to do with keyboard
[03:10] <jillian> should i restart my comp and see if there are any changes...and what changes should i be looking for
[03:10] <jillian> i got a sabre error message
[03:10] <dmphotography> That's strange.  I've never had an issue with it.
[03:11] <IdleOne> !mp3
[03:11] <md5> dmphotography, maybe because you run ubuntu from iso and I run from my hard disk
[03:11] <jillian> it's inside windows
[03:11] <bpcomp> so anyone want to take a crack at helping me get my package installer working again? http://paste.ubuntu.com/116275/
[03:11] <dmphotography> Nah, I run all my VM's from the hard disk.
[03:11] <woody86> Phillomath, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/116278/
[03:11] <dmphotography> I use the ISO to install it and then I don't use it anymore.
[03:12] <md5> dmphotography, can't find an answer on the internet, last hope is here :)
[03:12] <jillian> ISO??
[03:12] <jillian> I am sooo not technical...just started using ubuntu from window...
[03:12] <dmphotography> Have you tried just re-installing it?
[03:12] <jillian> well..it doesn't come up any more in update manager
[03:12] <woody86> Phillomath, but if I start Conky manually it works fine
[03:12] <jillian> is there somewhere else i can try to install it from
[03:13] <md5> dmphotography, not the OS, but i tried to make new connection
[03:13] <dmphotography> md5: Does it work on any other distros of Linux/any other installed VM OS's?
[03:13] <fearful> jillian: Press ALT + F2 and type upgrade-devel
[03:13] <md5> dmphotography, yes
[03:13] <Phillomath> Hmm
[03:13] <jillian> ok...i'll try
[03:13] <dmphotography> md5: which?
[03:13] <md5> dmphotography, backtrack
[03:14] <dmphotography> Ahh.  Haha.
[03:14] <Phillomath> woody86: Could be something to do with the desktop being drawn after conky starts
[03:14] <md5> dmphotography, ;]
[03:14] <diginux> how do i disable ipv6 in jaunty?
[03:14] <dmphotography> I have a nice tutorial on how to install that to hard disk if you haven't already done so.
[03:14] <woody86> Phillomath, hmmm... any way to change that?
[03:14] <jillian> it says location file cannot be found
[03:14] <Phillomath> woody86: Never had that problem myself but I've heard it happens
[03:14] <woody86> Phillomath, ok thanks, I'll try some more Google :)
[03:14] <Phillomath> woody86: In your sessions entry where you have conky set to autostart...
[03:15] <md5> dmphotography, I have installed it with cd, now I am trying to connect from xp to ubuntu, everything is ok just keyboard doesnt work
[03:15] <_2> diginux  maybe edit /etc/modprobe.d/aliases
[03:15] <bpcomp> http://paste.ubuntu.com/116279/
[03:15] <woody86> Phillomath, yeah?
[03:15] <Phillomath> Trwoody86: Try putting in sleep 5 before the conky command
[03:15] <diginux> _2: don't think that works in jaunty anymore since ipv6 is built into the kernel i heard
[03:15] <k0pp> hello, i'm looking for a way to block 1 single IP from making ANY connections to my machine, whether that be via http, ssh, or connecting to an IRCd running on the machine. how can i go about this?
[03:15] <diginux> _2: and I tried it and it didn't work :(
[03:15] <WebcamWonder> diginux: #ubuntu+1 for jaunty
[03:15] <Phillomath> woody86: That will delay conky starting for 5 seconds
[03:15] <diginux> WebcamWonder: thanks!
[03:16] <jillian> i tried ALT + F2 and nothing
[03:16] <woody86> Phillomath, ok, I'll give it a shot, thx
[03:16] <_2> diginux oh jaunty.    sorry.   idk.
[03:16] <Phillomath> woody86: also try changing own_window type to normal
[03:16] <_2> diginux i was thinking intrepid.   please disreguard.
[03:16] <IntuitiveNipple> diginux: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6
[03:16] <_2> diginux also   jaunty questions are for   #ubuntu+1
[03:16] <woody86> Phillomath, ok I'll try, thx again
[03:16] <Phillomath> woody86: np

[03:17] <_2> TheInternal welcome to the club
[03:17] <jillian> or fearful
[03:17] <TheInternal> I've learned a ton in about a week from playing with Debian and Ubuntu. Quite a different "feel" than windows
[03:18] <fearful> jillian: Go to System -> Administration -> System Sources
[03:18] <jillian> ok..i'm there..now what
[03:18] <fearful> jillian: Click the third column 'release upgrade' and select 'normal release'
[03:19] <TheInternal> I've already looked over the "intermediate to advanced" Ubuntu router setup, but it was written with assumptions that a mere linux noobie wouldn't grasp :(
[03:19] <jillian> done
[03:19] <jillian> it was there already
[03:19] <_2> jillian also when  a command fails from "alt+ft" run dialog   use a terminal to debug it
[03:19] <fearful> jillian: Click close
[03:19] <fearful> jillian: On the terminal type sudo apt-get update
[03:20] <TheInternal> anyone know a good place to go for a "make ubuntu into a router" might be found (or someone that could answer a ton of questions patiently?)
[03:20] <jillian> ok..done
[03:20] <Sp0tUbuntu> Hmm! What is there insted of mIRC in linux? Not Konversation, thats KDE i guess? What else? Must have about same features as Konversation! Thanks!
[03:20] <xiaopi> Xchat~
[03:20] <jillian> how do i debug
[03:20] <fearful> jillian: Nothing happened?
[03:20] <Sp0tUbuntu> Can Xchat perform commands?
[03:20] <Sp0tUbuntu> xiaopi: ?
[03:20] <xiaopi> yes it can
[03:20] <jillian> yes...a couple of things updated
[03:20] <Sp0tUbuntu> Thanks! :-) And thats Gnome?
[03:21] <xiaopi> and can use any python/perl script you find write~
[03:21] <jillian> intrepid stuff
[03:21] <xiaopi> "or write"
[03:21] <linux_guy> my wireless driver (ndiswrapper) doesn't always work at startup, where do I start to diagnose?
[03:21] <fearful> jillian: Does it show anything that needs to be updated in the panel?
[03:21] <Sp0tUbuntu> xiaopi: And its Gnome, rigth?
[03:21] <linux_guy> 2 restarts, and a shutdown / power up fixes it
[03:21] <itchydog> join #ubuntu-bugs
[03:21] <linux_guy> =(
[03:21] <xiaopi> yes gtk :)
[03:21] <jillian> oh..sorry..i hadn't gotten to that yet
[03:22] <fearful> jillian: :p
[03:22] <Sp0tUbuntu> xiaopi: Cool! Thanks alot m8! :-) I go find it tomorrow when i have get some sleep! .-)
[03:22] <Sp0tUbuntu> :-)*
[03:22] <_2> Sp0tUbuntu there is an  xchat-gnome  that's not the good one.  venella  xchat is the one you want.
[03:22] <jillian> nope..nothing came up..and like i said..i'm an ubuntu virgin...be patient with me..lol
[03:22] <Sp0tUbuntu> _2: Ok, thanks for the warning! :-)
[03:22] <jillian> do you think that maybe it did install and i don't know
[03:22] <fearful> jillian: I'm sorry for rushing.
[03:23] <TheInternal> I'm using ubuntu's default pigeon for IRC
[03:23] <jillian> lol..that's ok
[03:23] <TheInternal> 8.10 iso
[03:23] <fearful> jillian: Open a terminal and type lsb_release -a
[03:23] <Pawka> HI guys can you recommend a quicktime alternative and a video editor ?
[03:23] <jillian> do i put sudo apt-get in front of that
[03:23] <jillian> ?
[03:23] <Sp0tUbuntu> Is there a place in "ubuntu" when running a laptop, where i can set "powersafe" and then force CPU to run slower?
[03:23] <Sp0tUbuntu> For minimum heat you know
[03:23] <Sp0tUbuntu> Cant find it
[03:24] <Sp0tUbuntu> Its burning! :-D
[03:24] <WebcamWonder> Sp0tUbuntu: Take a look at CPU governers, they can control the scaling of CPUs
[03:24] <fearful> jillian: Nope
[03:24] <TheInternal> I'm pretty handy with windows, and am darn good at hardware (I helped build and maintain over 1000 computers in a university not all that long ago.), so I'm not totally without clue when it comes to computers/networking... but the permissions and some other stuff are a bit confounding in ubuntu. Anyone have some leads on where to go to get help for making my linux box a router (wired, using a switch and having a few windows boxes go t
[03:24] <Sp0tUbuntu> WebcamWonder: That is a default program?
[03:24] <WebcamWonder> Sp0tUbuntu: Yeah, very close to kernel kinda stuff
[03:24] <jillian> lol..ok..this is hilarious...it says 8.10.. i guess it did upgrade
[03:24] <Pawka> HI guys can you recommend a quicktime alternative and a video editor ?
[03:24] <fearful> jillian: :p, hah there you go
[03:25] <fearful> jillian: Just now your sure :)
[03:25] <Sp0tUbuntu> WebcamWonder: Ok, thanks! With GUI right? Im new in linuxworld! :-)
[03:25] <tavius> hello - I am lost!
[03:25] <jillian> ok..one more thing...my sound doesn't work
[03:25] <TheInternal> I thought Mac OS was linux based. quicktime won't run natively?
[03:25] <IntuitiveNipple> TheInternal: What specifically do you need to do?
[03:25] <fearful> jillian: Did you say you install inside windows?
[03:25] <jillian> lol...nevermind...
[03:26] <WebcamWonder> Sp0tUbuntu: I think there was a panel app for it, but don't remember. Haven't dived in that mess for a while now
[03:26] <jillian> sorry...i just checked it and it's working now
[03:26] <qcjn> hi, i've got a document .doc,  tile, paragraph, title,paragraph that i'd like to switch to a database, anyone knows of a good way without doing ct & paste 200 times ?
[03:26] <jillian> weird
[03:26] <fearful> jillian: Ok
[03:26] <jillian> you were a big help..thanx
[03:26] <tavius> anyone here know how I can set up my computer to route my other computer through it to the net... both are ubuntu, and I have them talking to each other... but the other one won't reach the net
[03:26] <fearful> jillian: Any time
[03:26] <Sp0tUbuntu> WebcamWonder: Ok, i look into it then! Thanks for the hint
[03:27] <IntuitiveNipple> TheInternal: OSX is based on FreeBSD 5
[03:27] <racecar56> i didnt know that
[03:27] <Klaz168> Sp0tUbuntu, right click on ur panel, then add "CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor"
[03:27] <racecar56> i thought it was based on plain ol' unix
[03:27] <tavius> anyone familiar enough with networking and using a computer as a router to answer that?
[03:28] <TheInternal> Hey Nipple: I want to use my old clunker computer as a router (rather than buy a router) for my small home wired network. I have an 8 port 10/100/1000 switch and all the compies in the network have 1 Gb nics. I want to use my linux box (named "Uggy") as the router, connect my cable modem via 10/100 nic, connect to the switch as the uplink on the 10/100/1000, and have all the computers on my network be able to access the internet. I'd
[03:28] <randy_> yo
[03:28] <IntuitiveNipple> tavius: on the 'client' you need to set a default route that sends things to the 'router' PC (e.g. ip route add default dev eth0 via <IP_ADDRESS>)
[03:28] <TheInternal> I honestly can't recall the origins of Mac OS. FreeBSD or Unix... neither would suprise me.
[03:28] <Sp0tUbuntu> Klaz168: Create launcher?
[03:29] <radec> ok i have a simple question but i can't figure it out. i'm trying to restore a mysql database via ssh. my password has an ! character in it. this seems to make the command line freak out and add a long command, something i typed a while ago, in the middle of my password (where the !) is. any suggestions short of changing the password?
[03:29] <azkaban> hi everybody
[03:29] <WebcamWonder> radec: escape it like, \!?
[03:29] <_2> tavius you have to enable ipv?_forwarding on the gateway, and point the client at the host with something like  "route add default gw <ip_of_host>"
[03:29] <WebcamWonder> radec: Withpout the question mark that is
[03:29] <Klaz168> Sp0tUbuntu, right click on panel, then select 'add to panel'
[03:29] <TheInternal> hey azk
[03:30] <Sp0tUbuntu> Klaz168: Ahh, im on desktop clicking! :-D
[03:30] <IntuitiveNipple> TheInternal: For a router, the PC should have two interfaces (WAN, LAN). Configure the router to be a DNS and DHCP server. Enable IP forwarding, set the router LAN IP as the gateway in DHCP so all clients route through it.
[03:30] <radec> WebcamWonder: hmmm thanks that might work lol
[03:30] <Klaz168> Sp0tUbuntu, scroll down untill you find 'CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor'
[03:30] <IntuitiveNipple> TheInternal: Ensure the router PC has a default route for <IP_ADDRESS> to the WAN interface
[03:30] <Sp0tUbuntu> Klaz168: Thanks! Just the way i like it! :-)
[03:30] <_2> tavius edit /etc/sysctl.conf
[03:30] <TheNational22> little help with visudo
[03:31] <Klaz168> yrw
[03:31] <TheInternal> Nipple: I sort of followed that. I can build a network in windows and have it work, but I'm not strong in that area. Lemme reread what you wrote real quick...
[03:31] <_2> TheNational22 ?
[03:31] <Sp0tUbuntu> Sysinfo for 'spot-laptop': Linux 2.6.27-11-generic running , CPU<EMAIL_ADDRESS>at 800 MHz (3990 bogomips), HD: 7/109GB, RAM: 1782/3952MB, 133 proc's, 1.9h up
[03:31] <TheNational22> i added a new user, typed visudo to edit permisons but cant edit the file
[03:32] <TheInternal> yes, I have two NICs installed, one for WAN, one for LAN. what application/program do I use to set up a DNS and DHCP server
[03:32] <ScottG489> Anyone here use TuxOnIce?
[03:32] <Guest50591> i need some help..
[03:32] <MFen> has anyone tried to put a vnc server on the internet?  i'm trying to share port 5801 ... my friend can get the applet to come up in his browser, but can't log in
[03:33] <_2> TheNational22 you will have to use a user account that can already use sudo and    sudo visudo
[03:33] <MFen> i'm going through a nat too. just wondering what i should be looking at first.. security settings for tightvnc somewhere or a web proxy?
[03:33] <TheNational22> so from root/
[03:33] <Guest50591> how do i install nvidia graphics card 9500 geforce gt
[03:33] <TheNational22> ?
[03:33] <TheInternal> Nipple: "Configure the router to be a DNS and DHCP server. Enable IP forwarding, set the router LAN IP as the gateway in DHCP so all clients route through it." is the part I need help with. I don't know what in Ubuntu will let me do any of that. I have a fair idea of what DHCP is/does, but no idea where to start in Ubuntu on configuring static or dynamic IP assigning
[03:34] <Klaz168> Guest50591, Systen > Administration > Hardware Drivers
[03:34] <Klaz168> System*
[03:34] <TheInternal> Guest50591, I installed my geforce card by going to system> administration > hardware drivers
[03:34] <Guest50591> tried that
[03:34] <Guest50591> didnt show up there
[03:35] <_2> TheNational22 yes superuser
[03:36] <TheInternal> I know for my geforce card that my card was not specifically listed
[03:36] <TheInternal> I just had to read the driver descriptions, pick one of em, then select activate.
[03:36] <Guest50591> my driver list is empty
[03:37] <IntuitiveNipple> TheInternal: I'd suggest you read up on, and use, dnsmasq. It is a light-weight combined DNS relay and DHCP server
[03:37] <TheInternal> I'm a linux noob, mind you... it's empty? have you tried the repository (add/remove programs) stuff maybe?
[03:37] <TheInternal> Nipple: thanks. dnsmasq. that in the default repositories?
[03:37] <Guest50591> lol i just started ubuntu today
[03:38] <TheInternal> I've been poking at linux for abour a week now
[03:38] <slipst> I have an uninterru
[03:38] <slipst> sorry
[03:39] <Klaz168> Guest50591, you can install the drivers manually. take a look at nvidia.co.uk
[03:39] <tritium> Klaz168: no!
[03:39] <slipst> I have an uninterruptible process that won't be killed in system monitor, do I have to restart or is there another way?
[03:39] <IntuitiveNipple> TheInternal: Yes
[03:39] <tritium> Guest50591: install the nvidia packages
[03:39] <TheInternal> Nipple: I'm not finding it, even with a search all including all repositories
[03:39] <tritium> Guest50591: since your card is a very recent model, try installing nvidia-glx-180.  If that doesn't work, fall back to nvidia-glx-177
[03:40] <tritium> Klaz168: we don't recommend nvidia.com downloads.
[03:40] <alp1> Can I ask about my nvidia problem?
[03:41] <racecar56> why does brasero always do simulations on burning, it takes ages!
[03:41] <TheInternal> "There is no matching application available." :( have a url for a safe repository that would carry it?
[03:41] <Mac181> There isnt like a "Newbie's guide to understanding Ubuntu Forum Problem Fixes"
[03:41] <Mac181> I feel like I need a translator for the hep guides.
[03:41] <md5> Hello, I have a problem with vmware. I have Ubuntu 8.10 and Windows XP on my computer. From XP I am trying to connect to Ubuntu with vmware. Everything is ok, the only problem the keyboard doesn't work. What should I do? I believe that I need to change something in configuration file.
[03:41] <racecar56> virtualbox pwns vmware
[03:41] <nbeebo> any reason why internet on ubuntu just turned extremely slow?
[03:42] <IntuitiveNipple> TheInternal: do apt-cache search dnsmasq
[03:42] <TheInternal> nbeebo: underpants gnomes diversifying?
[03:42] <nbeebo> dumb me, only one specific site.. lol
[03:42] <racecar56> lolz
[03:42] <Mac181> Case in point: I have no idea what IntuitiveNipple said.
[03:42] <racecar56> why does brasero always do simulations on burning, it takes ages!
[03:42] <racecar56> can i disable it?
[03:42] <IntuitiveNipple> TheInternal: dnsmasq is in the Universe repository
[03:42] <_2> Mac181 copy and paste that string into a terminal... "apt-cache search dnsmasq"
[03:43] <Sarthor> Hi I am here for getting help again, multiple isp routing is just bad word for me. according to http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html i did all and you can see my pasted configurations on http://pastebin.com/f681a1e36 , i am eager to be helped, i am stuck now..
[03:43] <TheInternal> Nipple: that got a few lines that looked promising. Do I need to "apt-get dnsmasq" then?
[03:44] <_2> TheInternal syntax error.   operation  dnsmasq  not understood by apt-get
[03:44] <winmutt> anyone know of a decent xml browser? I have some complicated xsd I need to peruse
[03:44] <Mac181> It looks like some glossary entry, though I couldnt for the life of me tell you what it means.
[03:44] <_2> TheInternal you mean "apt-get install  dnsmasq"
[03:44] <racecar56> XML browser? never heard of it
[03:44] <TheInternal> ah. thanks _2
[03:45] <JesperHansen> winmutt: firefox supports xml pretty fine
[03:45] <TheInternal> urg. permission denied.
[03:45] <TheInternal> how do I find the root terminal in ubuntu?
[03:45] <winmutt> jesper: its ok but not really waht i need
[03:45] <racecar56> sudo?
[03:45] <TheInternal> in debian, there was one labeled "root"
[03:45] <winmutt> root terminal?
[03:45] <Mac181> I have 3 common-enough issues. My brightness control is messed, my speakers stay on when my headphones are plugged in, and putting my computer to sleep results in a black screen with just a cursor that I have to restart to escape. All issues I've seen on the forum, but I cant understand the fixes.
[03:45] <JesperHansen> winmutt: please use tab-completion
[03:45] <tritium> TheInternal: sudo -i
[03:45] <_2> TheInternal run sudo -i    in any terminal
[03:45] <TheInternal> sudo is temp admin perms, right?
[03:45] <winmutt> JesperHansen: its faulty :)
[03:46] <JesperHansen> winmutt: what do you need then that firefox doesn't provide?
[03:46] <tritium> TheInternal: it'll acheive what you want.  Try "sudo -i" in the terminal now.
[03:46] <_2> TheInternal well sort of.   in ubuntu's default use of it.  the primary user account is "root jr." so to speak.
[03:46] <TheInternal> I already did. looks like the download is going
[03:46] <Jerusalem420> i just upgraded to firefox 3.0.6 and installed a plugin called foxytunes to control the media player from within he browser. i selected rythymbox as my defauly player, but the rythbox it opens isn't the one i have set up. any ideas?
[03:47] <winmutt> jesper: better tabbing and easier on the eyes, these xml schemas I am looking at are ridiculous
[03:47] <winmutt> sigh
[03:47] <TheInternal> root jr., eh? By default, ubuntu isn't using admin level account, right?
[03:47] <winmutt> JesperHansen:
[03:47] <tritium> TheInternal: not sure what you mean by that exactly, but the root account is locked by default.
[03:48] <_2> TheInternal no. that's not what i mean.  i mean that the primary user account has unlimited sudo usage   thus can do any thing root can do.
[03:48] <JesperHansen> winmutt: what you mean by better tabbing? Easier on eyes sounds like you just need to choose another theme
[03:48] <TheInternal> tri: for comparison, in windows, you have "root" access if you're on an admin account. Why not have a similar option for Ubuntu?
[03:48] <Mac181> How common of a name is Jesper Hansen?
[03:48] <winmutt> jesper: ff defaults to 2 spaces. I need more.. I really need something more complete. These schemas are ridiculous
[03:48] <TheInternal> or is it for security sake that the sudo and pass have to be used so much
[03:49] <Mac181> Slash, do you know a guy named John Kelly?
[03:49] <tritium> Mac181: please stay on topic
[03:49] <cjae> !gnome&kde
[03:49] <un_dave> hey all, i'm looking for an rss reader that supports text to speech of articles. i'm looking to use it in my car on the way home from work.
[03:49] <_2> TheInternal for security sake.    and to add a level of security you should make a secondary account and use it for non-admin normal use    "that's my openion anyway"
[03:50] <Mac181> LOL, my question sails over everyone's notice, but my side convo raises ire.
[03:50] <winmutt> JesperHansen: eff it all ill try to go blind with ff
[03:50] <illume> day 8 of trying to hear sound...
[03:50] <illume> Anyone know how to get sound working on a macpro?
[03:50] <cjae> anyway to install gnome and kde but without all the mess in each others environment? or so you manually have to sift through each menu?
[03:50] <JesperHansen> winmutt: The people in #firefox on irc.mozilla.org might be able to help you make it pretty for you. (its all a choice of opinion)
[03:51] <judgepg> Hi guys, how should I format my external HDD in gparted?  Should I use primary or extended partition?
[03:51] <JesperHansen> More joins and leaves in here than messages
[03:51] <_2> cjae i don't know what you mean about the menu  but you can install kde and gnome and any other desktop env/window manager
[03:52] <JesperHansen> judgepg: extended is if you want more than 4 partitions
[03:52] <Guiri> Can eBox be configured to use mysql instead? It wants to install postgresql
[03:52] <TheInternal> looks like dnsmasq is downloaded... no icon though. No GNOME support or GUI for it?
[03:52] <mindrape> JesperHansen its a support channel... people come and go once they get helped.
[03:52] <_2> judgepg if you want to,  yes
[03:52] <mindrape> Guiri - we dont offer support for individual applications.  Please consult the man page for the application or the developer site.
[03:52] <Phillomath> judgepg: Don't need extended until you get over four primary
[03:52] <_2> judgepg linux doesn't care if there are partitions or not.   but if you want them use them
[03:52] <Jerusalem420> internal thanks for the answer
[03:53] <Jerusalem420> i actually realized that was probably the problem after i typed the question
[03:53] <winmutt> jesperhens: no its just ridiculous
[03:53] <judgepg> JesperHansen, thanks guys.  I just want to format an external HDD, as it's new.
[03:53] <cjae> _2: if you install both the main menus are ridiculous after, I mean is there a way to install without having gnome apps in kde and vice versa
[03:53] <Phillomath> judgepg: Only really need to worry about it for windows partions
[03:53] <Jerusalem420> i ran one of the parts of the upgrade to firefox 3.x as root
[03:53] <winmutt> this XSD is for ONIX
[03:53] <keres> when installing ubuntu on my very old p3 laptop i get a bunch of input/output errors on my HDD when loading the LiveCD or just the installer. I select it from the menu and it just goes black and lists these errors?
[03:53] <winmutt> and its mindboggling large
[03:53] <judgepg> Phillomath, it's a brand-new HDD, so I want to format it so it can be readable by Windows as well
[03:53] <Sarthor> Hi I am here for getting help again, multiple isp routing is just bad word for me. according to http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html i did all and you can see my pasted configurations on http://pastebin.com/f681a1e36 , i am eager to be helped, i am stuck now..
[03:53] <TheInternal> heheee. glad I was indirectly of assistance, jeru.
[03:53] <_2> cjae in a way, i hope not.
