[14:15] <bert1> bobertdos, sorry, yes, i am using the extensions...
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> smm289: sudo apt-get remove samba
[14:16] <bert1> ActionParsnip, not sure about the smtp
[14:16] <smm289> isnt that the same as using the remove feature in Synaptic
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> bert1: smtp is used to send
[14:17] <smm289> any idea what ubuntu-desktop is and if I allow it to be removed will I no longer have a desktop
[14:17] <waan> jrib, thanks for your help im installing the package now
[14:17] <bert1> ActionParsnip, ok i will go and check my smtp settings... thanks ActionParsnip & bobertdos
[14:17] <jrib> waan: no problem
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> bert1: make sure ou are using the right port too (if your mail uses funky ports)
[14:17] <utnubu_user> I just bought a "my world" external HDD that has a built in ethernet port. It includes some windows software, but I want to use it under ubuntu. Anyone knows how to configure it to work with ubuntu?
[14:18] <bobertdos> bert1: Yes, and specifically, make sure it isn't still set to Hotmail's old url.
[14:18] <ushimitsudoki> smm289: ubuntu-desktop is a dummy package containing a lot of ubuntu-gnome specific applications. you probably don't want to remove it unless your are moving to a different DE (like KDE or XFCE) and you are sure you aren't going to need the GNOME stuff
[14:18] <bazhang> smm289, that is a metapackage it is safe to remove
[14:18] <maxx_> utnubu_user: have you tried just plugging it in by usb? it should just work.
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> utnubu_user: in nautilus, in the address book try \\ip.of.netwok.drive
[14:18] <Omeil> Hi anyone know how to fix the WINE issue, i try to launch any wine application and my screen turns into like 2 screens but everything is all over
[14:18] <ushimitsudoki> bazhang: won't it remove a bunch of packages with it?
[14:18] <smm289> ok, away it goes :)
[14:18] <bazhang> !metapackage
[14:19] <bazhang> ushimitsudoki, no worries
[14:19] <ushimitsudoki> smm289: sorry then guess i am wrong i thought it removed the same ones it adds
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> utnubu_user: not address book, address bar
[14:19] <waan> jrib, is there any reason to add -src to the lines, I don't really need the sources right?
[14:20] <jrib> waan: nope, only if you want to read the source code or modify it
[14:20] <waan> jrib, no probs
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> waan: i believe they are expected
[14:21] <waan> ActionParsnip, they weren't in my sources list, so i'll just leave it how it was
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> waan: if it works, dont fix it
[14:21] <waan> AccessExcess, yep :)

[14:26] <nikki_> hi
[14:26] <st3ph> what is rtfm?
[14:26] <maxx_> utnubu_user: rtfm or check on your router/whatever to see if it got a dhcp lease.
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> st3ph: read the fat manual ;)
[14:26] <|o> maxx_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/46215/
[14:26] <r-p> sipior: I dont know what those are. I mean the domainname for the LAN

[14:27] <etyo> are u sure

[14:28] <utnubu_user> ActionParsnip, do you know if it is possible to set the Hdd to work with a router even if I do not have internet connection?
[14:28] <st3ph> yeah but in main plz english only :D
[14:29] <bazhang> nikki_, do you have a ubuntu support question
[14:29] <st3ph> its unpolitw talking in a language the most ppl dont understand here
[14:29] <|o> maxx_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/46217/
[14:29] <nikki_> thx
[14:29] <maxx_> utnubu_user: yoru router should still respond to dhcp and give out an IP address, so it should still work, even without an outside connection
[14:29] <zamba> linux_manju: there.. box up.. :)
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> utnubu_user: it may be set to dhcp, if you look at the routing table in your router it may give clues
[14:30] <zamba> love the swiftness of the server installation compared to the desktop version
[14:30] <orgthingy> is there getpid for ubuntu
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> utnubu_user: it may have a static ip which means you will have to alter your dhcp pool
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> orgthingy: its pidof
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> zamba: thats because it installs very little
[14:30] <Hideme> maxx_ EnvyNG installed.  Guess we'll see how it goes.
[14:31] <ActionParsnip> Hideme: to run it you'll need gksu envyng-gtk
[14:31] <Hideme> I assume EnvyNG has better supported Nvidia drivers?
[14:31] <ickmund> I'm trying to setup a fakeraid in 8.0.4. I've booted the live cd, installed dmraid, execute dmraid -r, but I've getting nothing to work with in /dev/mapper/. What could be wrong? http://paste.ubuntu.com/46221/
[14:31] <st3ph> nikki read pm
[14:31] <st3ph> ok :d
[14:31] <zamba> ActionParsnip: yeah, and i love that as well :)
[14:31] <maxx_> Hideme: have you actually run EnvyNG yet? it grabs the drivers for you when you run it. if you haven't run it yet you don't have new drivers.
[14:31] <Hideme> ActionParsnip: Huh?  It's already installed in configured.
[14:32] <maxx_> Hideme: applications -> system tools -> envyng .. run it.
[14:32] <fx-82AU_PLUS> do you guys like the MPAA?
[14:32] <Hideme> maxx_  yes...  Apps > system > EnvyNG
[14:32] <Hideme> I have
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> Hideme: you gotta run it and tell it to instal the drivers if you already havnet
[14:32] <maxx_> oh
[14:32] <marlun> Is it possible to downgrade to older versions with aptitude (or apt-get)?
[14:32] <bazhang> fx-82AU_PLUS, this is not the chat channel
[14:32] <|o> maxx_: please, help with eclipse
[14:32] <marlun> older versions of a package that is.
[14:32] <maxx_> Hideme: so it installed the drivers and rebooted you?
[14:32] <Hideme> maxx_ yes
[14:33] <maxx_> |o: i am confused by this one. to be honestly i've only used eclipse with c, perl, and php.. and i havne't seen that one :|
[14:34] <Jack_Sparrow> marlun downgrading seldom works.  Best to revert to a backup prior to whatever it was you tried to install from another repo
[14:34] <mattgyver83> Is there a package for linux that will monitor your IP address and email it to you as it changes??
[14:35] <Jack_Sparrow> mattgyver83 there is a site that will do that for you, but for something inside ubuntu.. no
[14:35] <mattgyver83> Jack_Sparrow, what site?
[14:35] <Jack_Sparrow> mattgyver83 Dont remember atm..  but wasnt hard to find as I remember
[14:35] <mattgyver83> Thanks.
[14:35] <nikki__> christian ???

[14:36] <KaiForce> howto change default flash player in firefox?
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> Jack_Sparrow: you could ifconfig to a file, then later a second file then compare, if its different send an email and update the original file with the new data
[14:37] <Jack_Sparrow> ActionParsnip I didnt say you couldnt write one, but a pre-existing package does not exist in Uubntu
[14:37] <nikki__> kann jemand deutsch ????
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> Jack_Sparrow: if its you wan ip that changes then get a no-ip account and istall the dial up client app to refresh a domain name to your ip
[14:37] <Jack_Sparrow> !de

[14:37] <eighty4> I'm trying to setup apache/svn but when trying to apt-get install libapache2-svn I get an error say "This module does not exist!" what could be wrong?

[14:37] <FloodBot1> nikki__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> Jack_Sparrow: then you can use the name and not worry about what the ip is
[14:37] <Wazle> I do have two partitions, one with windows and one with ubuntu. I forgot to make a swap partition. Is it possible to split a small part from my ubuntu partition with gparted?
[14:37] <st3ph> nikki read pm
[14:38] <Jack_Sparrow> ActionParsnip I handled my remote access/ ip situation long ago.. please addres your comments to the person with the question
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> mattgyver83: please read all the stuf i sent Jack_Sparrow
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> it should help
[14:39] <waan> jrib, my security updates are showing properly in the update manager, so I guess I can use the mirror for security
[14:39] <sipior> Wazle: sure, you can easily shrink your ubuntu partition and create a small one on the end for swap
[14:39] <bobertdos> Wazle: Yeah, you can do some resizing if you want. Although, unless you're running high traffic servers, you can usually get away with not having a swap if you've got a gig or more of RAM in my opinion.
[14:40] <pepe_swash> hello. is there a specialized X channel?
[14:40] <Wazle> but these optiosn are not available
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> pepe_swash: yeah starts at midnight ;)
[14:40] <pepe_swash> ActionParsnip: bwahahahaha
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> pepe_swash: ask away dude
[14:41] <r-p> How can I restart services running from initd ?
[14:41] <bobertdos> Wazle: You would have to run gparted from the LiveCD. You can't perform operations on a partition that is in use.
[14:41] <pepe_swash> ActionParsnip: i was sure i was to get something related to prOn when i pressed enter. ;)
[14:41] <Jack_Sparrow> Wazle you cant shrink the partion while you are using it.. run livecd to do that
[14:41] <Wazle> ah ok thx, thats what i needed to know
[14:41] <Wazle> bb
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> pepe_swash: whats you question?
[14:42]  * bobertdos thinks life would be a lot harder without Live sessions :D
[14:42] <pepe_swash> ActionParsnip: i'm trying to understand if i can have dual screen without having a big virtual screen. My radeon does not support textures over 2048, which fails to start compiz as my dual screen is 3840*1200
[14:42] <ivo> hello, i've got in my source MODULE_PARM(dcache,"i") that generate " error: expected ‘)’ before string constant", Is the a solution for this problem?

[14:43] <jrib> ivo: this is #ubuntu.  Did you mean to ask in the channel for your programming language?
[14:44] <jrib> waan: great
[14:44] <r-p> Is it possible to restart services running from inetd ?
[14:44] <ivo> jrib: no, but i programming in ubuntu
[14:44] <ActionParsnip> r-p: absolutely
[14:44] <waan> jrib, yeah now I can update as frequently as I like for free
[14:45] <ActionParsnip> r-p: e.g sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

[14:45] <waan> jrib, would the mirror take a while to gather new updates from security.ubuntu?
[14:45] <ickmund> Trying to set up a FakeRaid, dmraid -r dosen't add any entries to /dev/mapper. Any ideas? See http://paste.ubuntu.com/46221/
[14:45] <pepe_swash> ActionParsnip: yes, i've been there too. but for ATI, only solution is big desktop, which does not accomodate compiz for high resolutions
[14:45] <bazhang> ludoskin, english please
[14:45] <jrib> ivo: well you didn't tell anyone what language you are programming in and gave no context, so it would be pretty hard to help you here.  If you do just have a programming question though, it's better to ask in the channel for the language you are programming in
[14:45] <ludoskin> what
[14:46] <jrib> waan: probably
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> pepe_swash: ive never used dual monitor and espise compiz so im not much help man
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> *despise

[14:47] <edaoman> how can i use two processes for using /var/lib/dpkg ?
[14:47] <sipior> r-p: technically, services running from inetd don't require a restart, since they are only spawned when inetd receives a call. you can send a HUP to inetd to get it to reread the configuration, if that's what you mean.
[14:47] <Whitor> jrib, wow, nice, thanks
[14:48] <r-p> stop*
[14:48] <CSWookie> ActionParsnip: So in other words, none for Hardy.

[14:48] <Whitor> jrib, It doesn't show up on my desktop ... only in my places list :(
[14:48] <sipior> ludoskin: no idea, man
[14:48] <ActionParsnip> CSWookie: theres the tarball, id suggest compiling for optimum speed and stability

[14:49] <ActionParsnip> CSWookie: theres also virtual box
[14:49] <wsuetholz_top>  Hello, I have Gutsy, and am experiencing some problems with the startup of HAL.
[14:49] <Whitor> jrib, ok, thx
[14:49] <bazhang> ludoskin, type /join #ubuntu-rs
[14:49] <ludoskin> My  name is Nenad,Your
[14:49] <CSWookie> ActionParsnip: I can compile it if I have to...  I'd rather a deb for optimum ease of install.  Oh well.
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> wsuetholz_top: can you give us a pastebin or photo of the screen
[14:49] <wsuetholz_top> When I make it so it doesn't start at boot, and start it manually, I see it get stuck when looking at drives.
[14:49] <bazhang> ludoskin, this is for ubuntu support not friend chat
[14:49] <Whitor> jrib, thx, that worked!
[14:50] <CSWookie> ActionParsnip: The SAs already have a VMWare Image, so I'll use vmware if at all possible.
[14:50] <r-p> sipior: so then I dont need to do anything special to get individual services running from inetd to reread thier configs?
[14:50] <ludoskin> What you sau
[14:50] <edaoman> can i use /var/lib/dpkg under two processes or more?
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> CSWookie: id rather compile those for better performance rather than ease, virtual box is installable with apt-get
[14:50] <sipior> r-p: shouldn't do, no
[14:50] <wsuetholz_top> It's stuck on a nonexistant drive.
[14:50] <Jack_Sparrow> ludoskin This channel is for support only (in English)
[14:50] <bazhang> ludoskin, #ubuntu-rs <------click that link
[14:51] <edaoman> can i use /var/lib/dpkg under two processes or more?
[14:51] <CSWookie> ActionParsnip: Different tradeoffs.  I've been wanting to get this installed for a week, and never seem to be able to put togewther enough time.
[14:51] <bazhang> edaoman, no
[14:51] <Jack_Sparrow> edaoman no
[14:51] <sipior> r-p: services run by inetd are despatched as inetd sees the requests, there's no persistent daemon, aside from inetd.

[14:59] <sipior> edaoman: are you getting dns information from a dhcp server?

[14:59] <c_ronaldo> need some suggest to chose best irc for my ubuntu
[15:00] <edaoman> yes
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> !irc | c_ronaldo
[15:00] <pepe_swash> Jack_Sparrow: yes, will do that right now. thanks a bunch
[15:00] <sipior> edaoman: easier if you mention the nick of the person you're talking to, to aid in demuxing...
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> c_ronaldo: in linux there is no "best"
[15:00] <r-p> ok thanks guys. One more question is it possible for me to create links to directories outside of a chroot ?
[15:01] <Jack_Sparrow> pepe_swash Sorry, I usually have that type of info handy.. I thought it was in the 2k
[15:01] <c_ronaldo> how about similar?
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> r-p: good question but im not sure
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> c_ronaldo: similar to what?
[15:01] <Jack_Sparrow> c_ronaldo Do you mean best IRC client?
[15:01] <pepe_swash> Jack_Sparrow: should not. i've been using it with a dual 1440*900 with a nvidia8600gt..
[15:01] <Jack_Sparrow> !client
[15:02] <sipior> r-p: i believe it won't work, because the path will be interpreted in the context of the new root
[15:02] <c_ronaldo> right
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> !best | c_ronaldo
[15:02] <Jack_Sparrow> pepe_swash right.. but still high 2's
[15:02] <sipior> r-p: also, i think it defeats the purpose of a chroot, right?
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> c_ronaldo: try a few and see which you prefer
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> c_ronaldo: i use pidgin as I use a whole swathe of protocols so it has become me single chat client
[15:03] <c_ronaldo> sorry i didn't mean, i just want problem solver
[15:03] <Jack_Sparrow> c_ronaldo xchat is one of the more popular, and is easy to configure to look like whatever client you are used to using
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> c_ronaldo: millions dislike pidgin and prefer xchat or bitchx
[15:03] <sipior> r-p: a hard link might do it; easy enough to test.
[15:03] <Jack_Sparrow> c_ronaldo Pidgin is one of the worst IRC clients we have
[15:03] <c_ronaldo> ok i will try. thanks for your suggestion
[15:04] <Jack_Sparrow> c_ronaldo sudo apt-get install schat
[15:04] <Jack_Sparrow> c_ronaldo sudo apt-get install xchat
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> c_ronaldo: see, i like it, Jack_Sparrow hates it, its all personal choice, there is no best
[15:04] <st3ph> Jack i cant use xchat at all
[15:04] <st3ph> we really tried to fix it, everytime i try to start it it opens and closes
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> st3ph: thats why there are multitudes of alternatives
[15:05] <Jack_Sparrow> agreed, there is not best..  we have a channel of bots if you want to do polls on what people use and prefer
[15:05] <Jack_Sparrow> !pols
[15:05] <Jack_Sparrow> !polls
[15:05] <st3ph> yes i usepidgin now but not really happy with it
[15:05] <c_ronaldo> i had use x-chat, the strange is, why the menu in above suddenly gone
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> st3ph: what would yuo like to see it do?
[15:05] <st3ph> yeah ronaldo i got same prob
[15:05] <st3ph> i open it and one sec later its away
[15:05] <wsuetholz_top> ActionParsnip: I don't have access to the machine at this time.  What are you looking to see, so I can make sure that I collect the right information.
[15:06] <Jack_Sparrow> c_ronaldo turn off compiz and see if your top bar comes back
[15:06] <st3ph> i tried even with terminal to get it running same shit
[15:06] <IdleOne> !language | st3ph
[15:06] <st3ph> Action what u mean?
[15:06] <c_ronaldo> st3ph, you have same problem, those why, i asking in here
[15:06] <Jack_Sparrow> st3ph Potty mouth.. keep it family rated
[15:07] <st3ph> sorry bot , i wont use anymore bad words :)
[15:07] <wsuetholz_top> The /sbin/hald process becomes unstoppable when it's in this state.
[15:07] <Jack_Sparrow> c_ronaldo Did you just lose the top bar of all menus or just xchat
[15:07] <st3ph> really sorry :(
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> st3ph: well you said you werent happy with it. what would make yuo happier with pidgin?
[15:07] <c_ronaldo> yes, jack
[15:07] <Jack_Sparrow> yes what?
[15:07] <c_ronaldo> lose top bar
[15:07] <Jack_Sparrow> all or Just xchat
[15:08] <st3ph> i dunno it looks for me too confused  and im used to know mirc on windows, but i guess thats the price if i changed to ubuntu
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> c_ronaldo: are yuo running compiz on an nvidia grpahics card?
[15:08] <Jack_Sparrow> all windows lost top menu bar or Just xchat
[15:08] <pepe_swash> Jack_Sparrow: just fyi, maximum compiz res is the one of maximum texture size supported by hardware. (from the compiz channel)
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> st3ph: you can run mirc via wine if yuo really must
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> st3ph: its very simple. How do you feel its confused?
[15:09] <st3ph> it me its only xchat i lost
[15:09] <Jack_Sparrow> st3ph you can make xchat look alot like mirc, which is what I was used to using
[15:09] <Jack_Sparrow> pepe_swash THere is a max, or was one in the earlier release..
[15:10] <st3ph> jack my xchat dont works
[15:10] <st3ph> i even uninstalled and installed it new
[15:10] <maxx_> use gaim
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> st3ph: try running it then once it dies run dmesg
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> maxx_: gaim == pidgin now
[15:10] <st3ph> dmesg?
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> !dmesg | st3ph
[15:10] <maxx_> er yeah that
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> st3ph: it shows some error stuff
[15:10] <c_ronaldo> actionparnsnip: i did not understand. actually i have been thinking to install xchat again, but how to make there is no more again loosing top bar
[15:11] <ActionParsnip> st3ph: might show why xchat dies
[15:11] <pepe_swash> Jack_Sparrow: yes, there is one, but only dictated by hardware specs, nothing in code whatsoever..
[15:11] <Jack_Sparrow> st3ph HAve you changed any sources
[15:11] <ActionParsnip> c_ronaldo: do you have the cube desktop?
[15:11] <c_ronaldo> no
[15:11] <ActionParsnip> c_ronaldo: good
[15:11] <c_ronaldo> what should i do?
[15:12] <st3ph> i dont think i didnt changed anything , i closed xchat and then it was away since them i cant get it to work, i killed it with terminal, loaded it with terminal and everything what i got told to do, nothing helpt
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> c_ronaldo: alt + drag it down
[15:12] <walkie> hello, i need SDL_image.h file, which command should i pass to apt to find what package contains it?
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> c_ronaldo: is it off the top of the screen or just not there?
[15:12] <st3ph> Jack i didnt change anything important i dont dare me ,im right now 3 days on ubuntu lol
[15:12] <Jack_Sparrow> ActionParsnip good point, it may just be off the screen at the top
[15:12] <c_ronaldo> nothing happen
[15:13] <ActionParsnip> walkie: http://listas.apesol.org/pipermail/sdl-libsdl.org/2004-January/040407.html
[15:13] <Jack_Sparrow> c_ronaldo can you see desktop on all sides around your xchat window
[15:13] <c_ronaldo> yes i see
[15:13] <ActionParsnip> Jack_Sparrow: do you know the drag thing..can you tell c_ronaldo
[15:14] <Jack_Sparrow> ActionParsnip Alt, left click anywhere on the window you want to move then drag
[15:14] <st3ph> Action can i pm u for the cmd to run the dmesg?
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> sure
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> c_ronaldo: try that thing Jack_Sparrow said
[15:15] <edaoman> why it recovered after reboot ,when i set the file /etc/resolv.conf using root ID?
[15:15] <c_ronaldo> now i will try. thank gurus
[15:15] <sipior> edaoman: do you use dhcp to get network information from your router?
[15:15] <Jack_Sparrow> st3ph Start by turning off effects, and see if that changes anything
[15:15] <edaoman> is there another file i must set ?
[15:16] <walkie> ActionParsnip, thanks, isn't the SDL_image library in the repos? and i want to know the common command to find package containing some file like rpm provides some_file gets it in fedora
[15:16] <edaoman> yeah,but the first DNS server is 192。168。1。1
[15:17] <Jack_Sparrow> st3ph you can also try metacity --replace
[15:17] <edaoman> i have to change it  another to connect internet
[15:18] <Jack_Sparrow> !find SDL_image
[15:18] <sipior> edaoman: you can configure your machine not to use dhcp. specify a fixed ip address in the network configuration tool.
[15:18] <sipior> edaoman: otherwise, you can configure dhcp not to receive dns information, but for a small home network, it's just easier to turn it off and use fixed ip addresses.
[15:19] <c_ronaldo> actionparnsnip and jack_sparrow: still cannot
[15:19] <Jack_Sparrow> c_ronaldo did you guys just update?  What cersion of ubuntu are you running?
[15:20] <Jack_Sparrow> version
[15:21] <c_ronaldo> ubuntu 8.04-the hardy heron released in april 2008
[15:21] <Sasalli> hello. How can i install Ubuntu 8.04.1 to USB Flash Drive? Thanks!
[15:21] <edaoman> sipior:thanks , but when i am another small home network,i can connect the internet right now , there is a router ,too
[15:22] <st3ph>  Jack_Sparrow_ what is metacity-replace?
[15:22] <Jack_Sparrow> st3ph window decorator..TOP BAR
[15:22] <bazhang> !usb | Sasalli
[15:22] <edaoman> that router is on
[15:22] <st3ph> wheres thatß
[15:22] <thebishop> how do I force a print job to be black & white?
[15:22] <edaoman> sipior: DHCP server is on
[15:23] <Jack_Sparrow> st3ph Open a terminal and type what I gave you   metacity --replace
[15:23] <sipior> edaoman: okay, then configure the dhcp server to dish out the correct dns information
[15:23] <Sasalli> Thanks
[15:23] <sipior> edaoman: either way will work. either fix the dhcp config, or use a fixed configuration, sans dhcp.

[15:32] <c_ronaldo> still need help to make my xchat appear top bar
[15:32] <edaoman> is there a book or something talking about this system file setting ?
[15:32] <SimmyJ> Jack_Sparrow: but it works for some things... it's weird.. like winkey+f1 works (brings up menu)
[15:32] <sipior> dfgas: isn't a raid card hardware by definition?
[15:33] <SimmyJ> but winkey+c does not pause/unpause amarok
[15:33] <SimmyJ> and if i go into amarok and try to see a new global shortcut with the winkey it fails
[15:33] <Jack_Sparrow> SimmyJ That is odd..
[15:33] <loller> i`ve got some problems with fragrouter # fragrouter -B1
[15:33] <loller> fragrouter: sniff_init failed: expression rejects all packets
[15:33] <SimmyJ> it just shows the character i pressed, and not the winkey
[15:33] <dfgas> sipior, no, i heard that some cards can also be a software raid
[15:33] <loller> somebody to help me?
[15:33] <SimmyJ> Jack_Sparrow: i just came here to help out.... and these guys have messed up every computer in the building, i don't get it.
[15:33] <Jack_Sparrow> SimmyJ I suspect a compiz confilct..

[15:34] <jlaeret> I just installed ubuntu 8.04 on a Lenovo Thinkpad X61 Tablet, works fine apart from some minor issues I've been able to correct using info found on the internet, however the microphone doesn't work and I haven't been able to find out how to fix it. I'm not an experienced ubuntu user. Can anyone help?
[15:34] <SimmyJ> Jack_Sparrow: i loaded up a xmodmap for now so i CAN use the multimedia keys... that'll work for now i suppose until i get a chance to reinstall all these computers
[15:34] <jlaeret> It is not a settings issue, I'm pretty sure
[15:34] <st3ph> (16:34:09) st3ph_<EMAIL_ADDRESS>entered the room.  :D ha thats me
[15:34] <sipior> dfgas: oh, you mean whether the raid internals are accomplished via hardware. in that case, best to check the manual.
[15:34] <Jack_Sparrow> SimmyJ  It may be an issue using the win key for shortcuts that you create
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> st3ph: wb :)
[15:34] <maxx_> jlaeret: have to ask - have you tried unmuting it in the mixer?
[15:35] <loller> fragrouter: sniff_init failed: expression rejects all packets

[15:35] <ActionParsnip> st3ph: np
[15:35] <bazhang> loller, we saw it; if someone knows they will answer
[15:35] <maxx_> jlaeret: maybe try install alsamixergui and see if changing something in that helps
[15:35] <jlaeret> I'll try it now

[15:37] <SimmyJ> Jack_Sparrow: they have done so many dumb things here.. i can't begin to explain.. the most obvious one is they have a nice little ups sitting here beside the computer.... but they plugged everything into the not-battery-backed up side.
[15:37] <c_ronaldo> steph: how your xchat?
[15:37] <SimmyJ> so it's just an expensive power bar :(

[15:44] <danbh_intrepid> ardantus: maybe its apache2.   Try tab completion
[15:44] <st3ph> ppl told me to use fedora or how its spelled , but a friend said for beginners ubuntu is  the best
[15:44] <Jack_Sparrow> hckoe are you using hardy or interpid
[15:45] <Tillux1> heya there. is there a way to create a gtk/whatever gui in order to replace an existing ncurses ui?
[15:45] <SebNaitsabes> st3ph:  yep  Ubuntu is probably the best distro to start with for beginners

[15:46] <atlef> SebNaitsabes: no, it is great for newbs

[15:56] <nicoleamy> hi
[15:56] <nicoleamy> i need help
[15:56] <nicoleamy> how can i locate the broken file?
[15:56] <hckoe> sipior: tcpdump output is on http://paste.ubuntu.com/46262
[15:57] <xomp> nicoleamy, you mean "the" broken file?
[15:57] <nicoleamy> xomp: yes
[15:57] <xomp> nicoleamy, ok, just checking..
[15:58] <sipior> hckoe: nothing obviously broken. can you telnet to 9100 on printbox. does that work without a hitch?
[15:58] <Bandman614> nicoleamy: what's the issue?
[15:58] <allquixotic> xomp: why don't you tell him about the locate command? It can locate the broken file like this: $ locate broken
[15:59] <nicoleamy> Bandman614: i don't know, when i went to update manager, it says that i got a broken file, it also says press to locate to locate the file
[15:59] <Jack_Sparrow> nicoleamy have you made any changes or aditions to your sources list
[16:00] <hckoe> sipior: yes, that works.
[16:00] <GnarusLeo_Main> I have a strange problem. I have to laptops, and one of them cant see my home wireless network (WPA) no more ... (havent changed any settings or anything). It doesnt show in network manager, or on "iwlist scan" ... What can possibly be wrong?
[16:00] <nicoleamy> jack_sparrow: what do you mean by the sources list?
[16:00] <Jack_Sparrow> !sources
[16:00] <allquixotic> GnarusLeo_Main, it depends on what happened between then and now ;)
[16:01] <allquixotic> what did you change
[16:01] <allquixotic> ?
[16:01] <killa_> so... any one up for answering from questions?
[16:01] <hckoe> sipior: printer panel already says printing. But then no more packages are sent or received from both sides. The same file on gutsy works without problems.
[16:01] <GnarusLeo_Main> allquixotic, nothing
[16:01] <atlef> !ask | killa_:
[16:01] <killa_> ahhh
[16:02] <GnarusLeo_Main> allquixotic, but it SHOULD show up in the list either way!
[16:02] <Qwerty_> I am trying to search for a word which is inside a file (not the name of the file). How do I do that? The word is in a plain text file
[16:02] <allquixotic> GnarusLeo_Main: a static system that has no software changes, no updates, no new programs, no hardware changes, no hardware defects, etc. will not suddenly go from working to not working, so obviously something happened. to figure out what happened, you may have to get imaginative about what happened. did someone else using the computer update or something?
[16:02] <GnarusLeo_Main> allquixotic, all my other computers can find it
[16:02] <NoCigar> Guys, do you know how one forces X to only use a certain resolutions and refresh rates?
[16:02] <killa_> i can see all my folders and files in my cdrom0 but i cannot copy them to my hard drive
[16:03] <Jack_Sparrow> killa_ Are you trying to copy them to Desktop or some other folder
[16:03] <GnarusLeo_Main> allquixotic, ok, ive been on linux for several years, I am an educated civil engineer computer scientist. So believe me when I say that "nothing of importance happened between then and now"
[16:03] <killa_> my desktop
[16:03] <nicoleamy> yesterday i've tried installing the flashplugin but didn't work so other staff asked me to install the ubuntu restricted plugins
[16:03] <Jack_Sparrow> killa_ what error
[16:03] <sipior> hckoe: what's the size of the file being put on netcat's stdin?
[16:04] <killa_> "error reading from file: input/output error"
[16:04] <allquixotic> GnarusLeo_Main: ok, excuse me then, if you are a computer scientist then you should surely be able to understand that troubleshooting something like "X was working before and it doesn't now" requires more information than that mere fact
[16:04] <Jack_Sparrow> killa_ all cd's or just the one
[16:04] <nomike> When I install Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop on a Workstation. How much space, does it consume directly after installation (aprox.)?
[16:04] <siaw> how to like "zoom out" in mplayer? watching 1080p on my laptop with like a 720p screen so im only seeing zoomed in at the middle of the movie..
[16:04] <killa_> all cds,  burned, and bought
[16:04] <Jack_Sparrow> nomike 4gig
[16:04] <nomike> thx
[16:05] <MacPain> hello
[16:05] <killa_> i can copy text files oddly enough, but no luck with media files or executables...
[16:05] <GnarusLeo_Main> allquixotic, there are no more facts to give ... both "wlanconfig ath0 list scan" nor "iwlist scan" nor network-manager gives me the AP ... what more can you possibly need?
[16:05] <Jack_Sparrow> nomike You can reduce that,
[16:05] <nicoleamy> what version is linux x86 as i am trying to manual install a adobe flash player
[16:05] <GnarusLeo_Main> allquixotic, though it does on my computer right next to it, which is also using the same distro, same upgrades, even the same freakin wireless drivers/card!
[16:05] <Jack_Sparrow> !flash
[16:05] <MacPain> i get with update-modules:  * The update-modules command is deprecated and should not be used!
[16:06] <MacPain> is this command replaced
[16:06] <sipior> i've a friend currently running an ubuntu cut down to ~12Mb, so there's a lot you can get rid of :-)
[16:06] <allquixotic> GnarusLeo_Main: So the one laptop is utterly unaware of the fact that the SSID is being broadcast from the AP, or you can see the SSID but can't connect?
[16:06] <hckoe> sipior: file is about 400k. It's the cups test-page output captured from cups. First i thought it's a cups problem (socket and lpd did'nt work on hardy anymore). But then cut it down to this simple command.
[16:06] <GnarusLeo_Main> allquixotic, can't see the AP, and the SSID is beeing broadcast
[16:07] <nicoleamy> is the installation version tar.gz or .rpm?
[16:07] <mani__> hello
[16:07] <nomike> Jack_Sparrow: Well, my problem is, that I want ubuntu on my corp. latptop and i'm not allowed to install it. So i was wondering if it's enough when I buy a 8GiB USB-Stick and use it for apps, and drop my user-data somewhere on my NTFS-Partition on the laptop harddrive...
[16:07] <Jack_Sparrow> nicoleamy we dont use rpm's
[16:08] <Jack_Sparrow> nomike You can run it off usb and you can have a second partition on the usb for data
[16:08] <chilli0> #python
[16:08] <KingLenchx> use alien for convert .rpm to .debs
[16:08] <hckoe> sipior: i have this problem with lan and wlan connection.
[16:08] <allquixotic> GnarusLeo_Main: you might check for a hardware wireless killswitch (thinkpads...) or key combination to activate/deactivate it (presarios...) - barring that, I'm assuming you've rebooted, and tried lspci to make sure the system is aware of the wireless hardware [well, if it's not in lspci, it's probably dead :)]
[16:08] <sipior> hckoe: bizarre that it should stop working. do you have two separate machines for testing, or just one machine with two linux installs?
[16:08] <Jack_Sparrow> nomike and that second partition can be ntfs if you want to get to it from windows
[16:08] <nicoleamy> jack_sparrow: do you use ta.gz or yum repository definition?
[16:09] <sipior> hckoe: would be curious to see the difference in the strace output between the two. though that would be a lot of data...
[16:09] <Jack_Sparrow> KingLenchx It seldom works and is not adviseable
[16:09] <GnarusLeo> allquixotic, heres the kicker ... I can connect to my neighbours WEP AP any day ..
[16:09] <Jack_Sparrow> !rpm
[16:09] <hckoe> sipior: i have a dual boot notebook with gutsy and hardy and a vmware intrepid.
[16:09] <killa_> jack_sparrow: was that "flash" deal intended for me (cd problems)?
[16:09] <khin> hey does anyone know why when i try to test php scripts on localhost it gives me a file download ? i just installed lamp
[16:09] <Jack_Sparrow> no
[16:09] <killa_> ah
[16:10] <allquixotic> GnarusLeo_Main: check /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages using `tail -f`... while you have that running in a terminal, do a modprobe -r on the wireless drivers, re-modprobe them, and try to connect to the AP by using iwconfig
[16:10] <Jack_Sparrow> khin /join #Apache
[16:10] <hckoe> sipior: i have the complete strace output of both. Let me paste it. Just a moment!
[16:10] <sipior> hckoe: could you just paste the diff?
[16:10] <nicoleamy> how many ubuntu's are there?
[16:10] <khin> my real issue is that phpmyadmin is not found at localhost/phpmyadmin even though it is supposedly installed
[16:10] <allquixotic> GnarusLeo_Main: If your wireless card is functional, and the driver is able to recognize the wifi card, and it's mostly working except for your particular AP, then trying to force an ssid to associate with via iwconfig should give you some interesting messages in syslog or /var/log/messages if there are errors associating.
[16:11] <j0hn> Don Miguel are you the same guy that made the RPG Maker ports?
[16:11] <Jack_Sparrow> nicoleamy One current release and many spinoofs that we do not support
[16:11] <GnarusLeo> allquixotic, yeah, the log didnt gave me anything, and re-modprobing them doesnt do anything specific ..
[16:11] <_j0hnny_> there finally worked
[16:11] <sipior> hckoe: actually, probably won't matter, now that i think of it. too many lines different even in the best case
[16:11] <_j0hnny_> Does anyone know anything about splashy?
[16:11] <GnarusLeo> allquixotic, ok, Ill try ... like "iwconfig ath0 essid <mine>" and see if it can connect to AP?`And check the log?
[16:12] <allquixotic> yes
[16:12] <_j0hnny_> I'm using Splashy and its not displaying right
[16:12] <nicoleamy> how do i find the broken file?
[16:12] <_j0hnny_> Is it just better to use USplash?
[16:12] <bazzieb> how do i reset my screen res? i tried in preferences but it only gives me 800x600?
[16:12] <allquixotic> but since you're using WPA, you'll need to start wpasupplicant manually too
[16:12] <Kgee> I just installed kdm and set it as the default login manager. The trouble is, every time i log in, the .ICE authority permissions get changed to root, and I have to reset them manually before i can log in via kdm. How can i avoid this?
[16:12] <KaiForce> anyone recommend good disk imaging tools for ubuntu?
[16:12] <allquixotic> because simply putting in the essid won't get you past authentication without wpasupplicant
[16:12] <KaiForce> command line preferred
[16:12] <GnarusLeo> allquixotic, of course ... ok, give me a min
[16:13] <xomp> KaiForce, dd
[16:13] <allquixotic> GnarusLeo: I've had problems like this before with flaky wireless APs/routers, and a reboot of the router fixed it. In one case I even had to factory reset the router to get a PC to see it... didn't touch the PC's configuration, and before the router reset it was broken; after reset (and entering all the same old settings) it worked
[16:13] <atlef> KaiForce: clonezilla
[16:13] <_j0hnny_> USplash worked good maybe I should switch back to that?
[16:13] <killa_> anyone have luck with an LG CD/DVD RW? in ubuntu 8.04?
[16:13] <_j0hnny_> Instead of using Splashy?
[16:13] <KaiForce> clonezilla support compression?
[16:13] <bazzieb> how do i reload my screen settings?
[16:13] <atlef> KaiForce: yes, several
[16:13] <GnarusLeo> allquixotic, actually, I agree. Im more suspicious on the router then my laptop settigns ..
[16:14] <bazzieb> or reset?
[16:14] <KaiForce> atlef:  thanks, I will check it out
[16:14] <atlef> KaiForce: you are welcome
[16:14] <GnarusLeo> allquixotic, Ill troubleshoot some more. Thanks for your input!
[16:14] <allquixotic> GnarusLeo: more recent wireless standards have been diverging in compatibility between vendors, and vendors have been getting worse and worse about compliance to standards
[16:14] <madmike_> I LOVE UBUNTU! ;D
[16:14] <nicoleamy> how do i locate a broken file? I went on the update manager and it says that i've got a broken file
[16:14] <johnny> Can anyone help me out?
[16:14] <allquixotic> GnarusLeo: if you're not using plain old 802.11b with no proprietary extensions, I'd worry that maybe the router and the PC are not speaking because of a compatibility issue
[16:14] <johnny> please
[16:14] <hckoe> sipior: working strace is on http://paste.ubuntu.com/46265, failing strace on http://paste.ubuntu.com/46266.
[16:15] <KaiForce> atlef:  wow, clonezilla looks awesome!
[16:15] <Jack_Sparrow> !helpme > johnny
[16:15] <atlef> KaiForce: it is great
[16:15] <solexious> [Q] I like amarok but im not using kbuntu, will istalling and using on ubuntu create problems?
[16:15] <atlef> solexious: no
[16:15] <GnarusLeo> allquixotic, that may be so, but that doesnt explain why it worked a few days ago ... (or maybe it does, who knows ...)
[16:15] <Jack_Sparrow> solexious nope
[16:16] <GnarusLeo> allquixotic, but a compability issue is deffinatly an opportunity!
[16:16] <_j0hnny_> !helpme
[16:16] <nicoleamy> Jack_Sparrow: how do i locate a broken file?
[16:16] <GnarusLeo> concern*
[16:17] <solexious> ** Thanks both
[16:17] <GnarusLeo> allquixotic, im also suspecting the wireless drivers. (madwifi spot on), and they may be fooling me. But ok, thanks again
[16:17] <killa_> why would I be able to see my files on my cdrom but not be able to copy them - input/output error?
[16:17] <honkytonk> Just moved to ubuntu from debian and noticed that all my color output in my bash script has stopped working.  I.e this should output the names in color echo -e "My favorite color is /033[38;5;148mYellow-Green/033[39m"
[16:18] <allquixotic> GnarusLeo, if you have an atheros card, you might try the recently released ath5k driver which is open source
[16:18] <nicoleamy> I need help!
[16:18] <GnarusLeo> allquixotic, I will!
[16:18] <allquixotic> GnarusLeo, I doubt Hardy distributes it because the Atheros guy I met at LinuxPicnic 08 told me it wasn't going to be usable until September - but Fedora switched to it by default and it runs well I hear
[16:18] <atlef> killa_: have you tried : gksu nautilus
[16:18] <Kgee> How can I stop kdm from messing up the permissions on my ~/.ICEauthority files? I have to reset them manually every time before I log in via kdm.
[16:19] <GnarusLeo> allquixotic, so what did he recommend? madwifi compile?
[16:19] <killa_> atlef WARNING **: Unable to add monitor: Operation not supported
[16:19] <allquixotic> GnarusLeo, he recommended ath5k for people who are either having problems with madwifi already, or who can handle a bit of potential badness
[16:19] <danbh_intrepid> Kgee: are you using sudo   on graphical apps?
[16:19] <allquixotic> but in your case, hey, ANYthing is better than what you have
[16:19] <Jack_Sparrow> !gksudo
[16:19] <GnarusLeo> allquixotic, :)
[16:19] <sipior> hckoe: these look more or less identical to me
[16:20] <atlef> !gksu > atlef
[16:20] <allquixotic> GnarusLeo, I'm pretty sure ath5k compiles and runs fine by now, I've heard a LOT of talk from end users about it in the OpenSUSE and Fedora and Mandriva worlds... it may even be in Intrepid, not sure
[16:20] <allquixotic> I don't have an atheros card so I don't know the latest on it, just what I heard at the picnix
[16:21] <atlef> Jack_Sparrow: which do you run from terminal and which from alt-f2?
[16:21] <hckoe> sipior: Yes, execpt for the short write. And that's the moment where communication stops.
[16:21] <killa_> gkusudo nautilus loads... but whats the going to do for me?
[16:21] <xomp> I has an atheros card and no version of ubuntu supports it lol :3
[16:21] <atlef> killa_: can you copy
[16:21] <GnarusLeo> allquixotic, Ill give it a go anyways. As you said, anythings better then this
[16:22] <killa_> same error
[16:22] <killa_> cannot read from source
[16:22] <Kgee> Jack_Sparrow, not using sudo to run graphical apps. I did a sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm to switch to kdm, and now its failing to let me log in.
[16:22] <killa_> but i can see all my files??? its so weird and frustrating
[16:22] <atlef> killa_: ok, sorry then
[16:22] <xai> anyone run on asus M3A78, if so, how does it work ?
[16:22] <xomp> killa_, copyright protection?
[16:23] <_j0hnny_> Am I allowed to ask questions about non-Ubuntu items. Such as Splashy?
[16:23] <sipior> hckoe: there is a series of writes in both traces, block size 8192, both terminating in a 7947 byte write. the two files are 46265 amd 46266, right?
[16:23] <_j0hnny_> Or do I need to go to a special Splashy channel for that
[16:23] <nicoleamy> how do you download flash player 9 ubuntu linux?
[16:23] <killa_> it does the same for all cd's but i have got some errors that point in that direction (copyright issue)
[16:23] <atlef> nicoleamy: we are on 10 now
[16:24] <xomp> _j0hnny_, if so, it's probably #ubuntu-splashy :3
[16:24] <nicoleamy> ok
[16:24] <nicoleamy> how do i download flash player 10 for ubuntu linux?
[16:24] <atlef> nicoleamy: so just update
[16:24] <_j0hnny_> thank you xomp thats why nobody answered me. I'm in the wrong place for that question.
[16:24] <_j0hnny_> I'll join there. Thanks guys.
[16:24] <nicoleamy> update?
[16:25] <xomp> _j0hnny_, I'm making a guess therelol
[16:25] <hckoe> sipior: the printfile is 483083 bytes
[16:25] <_j0hnny_> xomp no such channel
[16:25] <xomp> _j0hnny_, you never know to be honest, there's so man ubuntu channels now a days
[16:25] <killa_> i feel like it has something to do with permissions but cannot figure out how to fix (copy from cd errors)
[16:25] <xomp> many*
[16:25] <nicoleamy> do you mean i go to update manager to update it when i haven't installed flash player on yet
[16:25] <sipior> hckoe: right, but there's a series of 8192 byte writes in both files
[16:25] <xomp> !splashy
[16:25] <_j0hnny_> I got banned on Fedora for asking a "non-Fedora" question I don't want the same mistake to happen here
[16:26] <xomp> _j0hnny_, I don't think that will happen here :3
[16:26] <atlef> nicoleamy: install ubuntu restricted with synapticmanager
[16:26] <killa_> i have tried to boot with generic.all_generic_ide=1 but i don't know if i'm doing it right
[16:26] <_j0hnny_> Cool xomp
[16:26] <nicoleamy> ok how do i do that?
[16:26] <Ape3000> I should have 4 Gb RAM. Memtest shows 4095 Mb, but ubuntu only shows (and uses) 3290 Mb.. How can I use all the 4 Gb?
[16:26] <joombaga> Does anyone know how to clear the list of packages listed by "apt-get autoremove"?
[16:26] <sipior> hckoe: i'll need to turn this one over in my head for a while. i've no idea what would change for it to stop working. clearly the connection is made, clearly some data is transferred. very bizarre.
[16:27] <sxsx> ?
[16:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Ape3000 It is being used byt the system, if you want more available for apps, switch to the server kernel or 64 bit
[16:27] <atlef> nicoleamy: *install ubuntu restricted with synaptic package manager
[16:27] <nicoleamy> ok
[16:27] <neWbie> hello how do i remove gnome completely?
[16:27] <neWbie> just want to keep kde
[16:27] <bazhang> !purekde | neWbie
[16:27] <_j0hnny_> xomp nevermind Jack answered my question. On this channel you are not allowed to ask questions about products like Splashy as they have nothing much to do with Ubuntu. I'll look for another channel.
[16:28] <_j0hnny_> thanks again guys
[16:28] <bazzieb> how do i reset my screen resolution and/or screen card?
[16:28] <Quark_> Hello - I am having a failure-to-connect problem with my ircd-hybrid installation on Ubuntu V71.0. Does anyone know how to trouble-shoot and fix this problem?
[16:29] <Richmond> CIAO
[16:29] <Richmond> !LIST
[16:29] <ded0> how can i change the mouse cursor?
[16:29] <hckoe> sipior: ok, i can't understand it too. Is there anything else i should test or any other output you need?
[16:29] <Jack_Sparrow> !themes
[16:30] <atlef> ded0: under apperance in the system menu - preferences and costomize your theme
[16:30] <atlef> *customize
[16:31] <inukshux> I need to download some packages to later install them on an offline setup. How do I get the needed packages? (where)
[16:31] <ded0> atlef: ah there is it, thanks :)
[16:31] <sipior> hckoe: can't think of anything atm. the unsuccessful run displayed in 46266 seemed to terminate fine. did this run not hang? i assume it didn't print either?
[16:31] <Jack_Sparrow> !clone > inukshux
[16:31] <atlef> ded0: you are welcome
[16:32] <Jack_Sparrow> !aptoncd > inukshux
[16:32] <inukshux> ubottu, I'm on a Windows machine.
[16:32] <ded0> atlef: it just dont work ;)
[16:32] <killa_> what is the easiest way to do a clean/fresh install of ubuntu w/ out a CD?
[16:32] <inukshux> And I need to get some packages, and then install it on a feisty fawn setup.
[16:32] <shiloh7> doh... lol
[16:32] <MenZa> killa_: Burn a CD :)
[16:32] <Jack_Sparrow> !feisty
[16:32] <hckoe> sipior: i interrupted the process!
[16:32] <atlef> ded0: ok, it does for me
[16:32] <xmagixx> hello all
[16:33] <killa_> menza: my cd burner hasn't worked since my initial install of ubuntu :(
[16:33] <ded0> atlef: oh it does above some specific windows :P
[16:33] <frenzy42> what's the best way to back up a ubuntu system?
[16:33] <atlef> killa_: google unetbootin
[16:33] <Jack_Sparrow> !backup
[16:33] <sipior> hckoe: sure, but both transcripts end the same way, after a series of writes. it would be interesting to attach a debugger to the server on the other end of the conversation.
[16:33] <atlef> ded0: :-)
[16:33] <joombaga> Does anyone know how to clear the list of packages listed by "apt-get autoremove"?
[16:33] <xmagixx> i got a problem with my monitor, anyone care to help a little ?
[16:34] <inukshux> What I mean is: I need to access the repo from a browser, and get the packages. Then put them on a flash drive, and install them on the offline feisty setup. How do I do that?
[16:34] <shiloh7> !ask xmagixx
[16:34] <atlef> joombaga: apt-get autoclean
[16:34] <Jack_Sparrow> inukshux Dependencies are going to kill you doing that
[16:34] <atlef> joombaga: i think
[16:34] <xmagixx> shiloh7: ?
[16:34] <BlackSabath> hey guys, how do i chat in a Bash terminal with another user logged in??
[16:34] <magnetron> !aptoncd | inukshux
[16:35] <shiloh7> just ask xmagixx
[16:35] <|chiz|> BlackSabath: write
[16:35] <joombaga> atlef: nope
[16:35] <Jack_Sparrow> inukshux Get a feisty livecd ... Get your downloiads with that, save /var/cache/apt/archives to usb then move to new box
[16:35] <BlackSabath> chiz: write username "text"?
[16:35] <atlef> joombaga: ok
[16:36] <xmagixx> well the thing is i want my monitor detected, i found a way to do it but it disables my nvidia and ofc when i enable nvidia my monitor goes back to unknow
[16:36] <Rimen> hello
[16:36] <zoed> !hi | Rimen
[16:36] <xmagixx> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg      when i use this i finds my monitor and i can adjust refreash rate
[16:37] <|chiz|> BlackSabath: don't remember check out the man page
[16:37] <Rimen> can anyone tell me where can I get themes for screenlet sysmonitor
[16:38] <infecto> hello
[16:38] <Jack_Sparrow> xmagixx For nvidia card/chipset users ...  sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings .. Note this can cause issues on restart..  I had to use recovery mode and sudo apt-get remove nvidia-settings  then sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to get back a decent screen res
[16:38] <zoed> !hi | infecto
[16:38] <joombaga> atlef: Autoclean just clears out the local repository of retrieved package files.  I have a lot of packages installed as dependencies of the kde 4 pseudo package that show up in autoremove because I removed kdegames, which also removes the pseudo package.  Maybe it's not possible...
[16:39] <Masanow> °°
[16:39] <zhanglei> hello~
[16:39] <st3ph> i gtg have all a nice evening/day :d
[16:39] <RediXe> Flash with firefox 64 possible?
[16:39] <nicoleamy> how do i type chinese on ubuntu linux?
[16:39] <justabitcrazee> hey could someone answer a hardware question
[16:39] <zoed> !ask | justabitcrazee
[16:39] <atlef> joombaga: what about residual config?
[16:40] <Flannel> joombaga: /lastlog joombaga
[16:40] <Flannel> oops
[16:40] <xmagixx> Jack_Sparrow: well it's mainly my monitor i want to be detected and keeping the settings, will nvidia settings correct that ?
[16:40] <justabitcrazee> I'm downloading ubuntu now, but I'm wondering what options I will have with my ATI All in Wonder 9600, ie. Will Ubuntu pick up my TV tuner?
[16:40] <joombaga> Residual config?
[16:40] <Jack_Sparrow> xmagixx it turns out that all of the nvidia drivers, ubuntu or official, have severe issues detecting the monitor, so we need to install the nvidia GUI configuration tool, which detects the right monitor, but also allows manual configuration of the driver and xconf directly
[16:40] <joombaga> atlef: Residual config?
[16:40] <Flannel> joombaga: autoremove gets calculated each time you run it, I believe.
[16:40] <Rimen> how can I enable TV-out
[16:40] <atlef> joombaga: in synaptic
[16:41] <xmagixx> Jack_Sparrow: ahh okey, well i
[16:41] <joombaga> Flannel: Okay, well it shows packages I'm using
[16:41] <xmagixx> Jack_Sparrow: i'll give it a try, hope it works hehe else is there a way to boot up so i can change things back if it doesnt work ?
[16:41] <zoed> justabitcrazee: is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=164513 what you're looking for?
[16:42] <Flannel> joombaga: That's possible.  Why are you trying to use it in the first place?
[16:42] <Rimen> how do I then install nVidia GUI
[16:42] <Jack_Sparrow> xmagixx For nvidia card/chipset users ...  sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings .. Note this can cause issues on restart..  I had to use recovery mode and sudo apt-get remove nvidia-settings  then sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to get back a decent screen res  (see the last part)
[16:42] <icarus-c> techno_freak: do i know you?
[16:42] <xmagixx> Jack_Sparrow: thanks i'll give it a try
[16:42] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[16:42] <icarus-c> Rimen: iirc it is in the add/remove
[16:42] <joombaga> Flannel: Are you asking why I'm trying to use apt-get --autoremove?
[16:43] <Flannel> joombaga: indeed
[16:43] <allquixotic> Hello, my initramfs tries to execute udevsettle but I want it to execute udevadm, how do I change the initramfs script?
[16:44] <justabitcrazee> zoed - Somewhat, but I know that the TV tuner is finicky when its trying to be picked up in windoze as well as other distros of linux and sometimes is not recognized
[16:44] <joombaga> Flannel: because it's nice to use after you remove a package with a lot of dependencies.
[16:44] <justabitcrazee> Maybe I should just play around with it
[16:45] <zoed> justabitcrazee: sorry, I don't have a TV tuner card myself, so I never used one with ubuntu.
[16:45] <joombaga> Flannel: and you don't need those extra packages anymore
[16:45] <thiebaude> joombaga:i always use autoremove
[16:45] <justabitcrazee> zoed, no thats ok thanks for the link, it may prove useful anyways
[16:45] <Flannel> joombaga: I was asking for specifics.  I'm well aware of what autoremove does.
[16:45] <Rimen> can someone tell me why firefox or any other browser sometimes doest and sometimes do play sound from flash clips like from Youtube
[16:45] <zoed> justabitcrazee: You could try out the ubuntu live-cd and check whether your tuner works with it.
[16:46] <Flannel> joombaga: Well, as far as it knows, those four games are just those sorts of packages.  You could simulate the autoremove, then get the list and tweak it how you wanted, then manually remove the edited list of packages.
[16:46] <kenjin> Is it possible to install a program without admin previlige?

[16:48] <joombaga> Flannel: I know, I'm just picky.  I think I'm just disagreeing with the way apt handles pseudo packages.  Whatever; I'll figure it out

[16:54] <Jack_Sparrow> mylonas Sorry, lost you..  Were you not trying to install from cd.. and got the disk boot failure, or did you already install and now get HD boot failure
[16:54] <Bandman614> zhanglei: It's alright, your english is fine. If it dies again, let us know

[16:56] <KaiForce> and it was almost 7 characters long.
[16:56] <Gigacore> hi guys
[16:56] <Gigacore> my weather widget never updates, whats the reason ?
[16:56] <Gigacore> any solutions for that ?

[16:57] <qmemo> hi all, is this (/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/build/include) the right dir for the "C header files" that match my running kernel?
[16:57] <Gigacore> Bandman614: hehe... now tell me is there any way to fix it ?
[16:57] <hengha> hi, I got these from aptitude search : i apache2-mpm-worker, p apache2-mpm-prefork. I guess that means worker got installed, right ? then what does p stand for here ?
[16:57] <KaiForce> move to Ohio
[16:58] <Bandman614> gigacore: ok, A) which weather widget? B)did you set it up for your zipcode? C) have you tried running it from the command line to see if it's trying to update
[16:58] <Bandman614> KaiForce: amen
[16:58] <KaiForce> if you don't like the weather, just wait a minute!
[16:59] <zoed> honkytonk: you will want to put back-slashes instead of normal slashes, i.e. echo -e "My favorite color is \033[38;5;148mYellow-Green\033[39m" instead of "/033"
[16:59] <atlef> KaiForce: good to hear
[16:59] <mylonas> please someone to help me (PM)!!!!
[16:59] <Gigacore> Bandman614: A) the weather widget for panels... B) Entered my location. It used to work fine on my 7.10, but not on 8.04 C) havent tried from CLI

[17:00] <atrus> i don't have a PC speaker. How can I make sure that gnome-terminal sends beeps to alsa/gstreamer/something? Ie, that it plays a wav file instead of doing the old-fashioned system beep?
[17:00] <Flukey> Bandman614:  how did you get over the vim problem? i.e. you try deleting it doesn't work?
[17:01] <Bandman614> gigacore: ok, my first suggestion would be to try running it from the command line, justso you can get debugging out
[17:01] <Gigacore> atlef: heh ?
[17:01] <D1sa5t3r> atrus, flash screen
[17:01] <Bandman614> flukey: it works for me. How are you trying to delete?

[17:01] <atrus> D1sa5t3r: i don't want a screen flash, i want an audible wav-file beep.
[17:01] <Gigacore> Bandman614: sorry, but I am noob, can u plz tell me how to do that from CLI
[17:01] <Bandman614> flukey: there's an option in the mac terminal to change the way backspaces work
[17:01] <D1sa5t3r> why
[17:01] <D1sa5t3r> :S
[17:01] <hckoe>  /msg NickServ identify  abc123

[17:02] <Gigacore> atlef: hmmm
[17:02] <atrus> D1sa5t3r: because that's what a beep is?
[17:02] <kitche> hckoe: change your password for that now
[17:02] <atlef> Gigacore: you are not using gnome?
[17:02] <kwame> hi, question, why when I ssh it takes around 5-10 seconds for the prompt to appear?

[17:08] <Jampiter> What's a persistant install?
[17:08] <honkytonk> zoed: Thanks for the input it worked. But the weird thing is that it doesn't work in my Makefile's anymore. Even with backslahes
[17:08] <strategy> it's funny when people thing uBOTtu is a person
[17:08] <bazhang> mylonas, /join #ubuntu-gr
[17:08] <kmwhite> Jampiter: I used it to make a usb installer. http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ It's a program that will download an iso and make a bootable usb disk for your machine

[17:09] <Jampiter> Is there a way to do it without an extenral program?
[17:09] <Jampiter> I don't want a liveUSB
[17:09] <Jampiter> I just want the CD on a |USB so I can install it on a PC with no CD drive
[17:09] <kmwhite> Jampiter: probably. I remember doing it with a Debian hd-media boot image and syslinux, but I'm no guru there.
[17:09] <kmwhite> Jampiter: this app just automates it for you
[17:09] <Jack_Sparrow> !install
[17:09] <zoed> honkytonk: hm. Maybe because the makefiles doesn't echo the text with "echo -e"? you could also try "\e" instead of "\033"

[17:09] <grendal_prime> anyone any good with bluetooth stuff
[17:10] <Jampiter> Ok

[17:10] <Jampiter> Will it boot if I just copy the files?
[17:10] <atlef> Jampiter: no
[17:10] <kmwhite> Jampiter: no, it needs to be set up with a boot loader (syslinux)
[17:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Jampiter no
[17:10] <Jampiter> So I need this program to make it bootable?
[17:10] <Jack_Sparrow> yep
[17:10] <honkytonk> zoed: Hmm I think you are right... I can see that the output contains the -e paramter
[17:10] <Jampiter> Egh
[17:10] <Jampiter> Ok
[17:11] <kmwhite> Jampiter: there are windows and linux versions of it available, What are you running now?
[17:11] <xmagixx> is there a way i can browse the shared folders on the windows machines on my network ?
[17:11] <Jampiter> I'm on my Win lappy with my Ubuntu desktop over there

[17:12] <Jampiter> Where's the Win download?
[17:12] <honkytonk> zoed: OK; thanks for your input! Iäm a littel bit closer to a solution :)

[17:14] <soulchild> Hi all,... I am working at a unversity in germany, and we have about 150 Clients, running Linux. I am looking for a monitoring tool, to check for example lspci, uname -r, processes, etc. any suggestions ?
[17:14] <dr_willis> ajay,  visual basic is a windows program. there are 'similer' basic tools for linux. Check out gambas (i think is the name)
[17:14] <ajay> dr_willis, ok :) but gambas is a different language right??
[17:15] <Jack_Sparrow> ajay real basic also offers a crosscompilker for a $.. the linux only versionis free
[17:15] <atlef> ajay: just wantto say, 64bit and gambas do not work
[17:15] <ajay> Jack_Sparrow, ok... if i use it here , can i make that code run in windows??
[17:16] <ajay> atlef, thanks... am on a 32 bit one here :)
[17:16] <dr_willis> ajay its 'basic' -  its  tries to be similer to visual basic byt its not identical. Check its homepage for detauls
[17:16] <ppd> hi, how can I emulate a right click in gnome when I have a left click only mouse?
[17:16] <atlef> ajay: just wanted you to know
[17:16] <dr_willis> ppd,  a broken mouse? or a Mac Mouse?
[17:16] <Jack_Sparrow> ajay google up realbasic and read it to see if it will do all you want
[17:16] <os2mac> HI, I am having difficulty playing a DVD in totem.
[17:16] <ppd> dr_willis: actually it is a broken laptop touchpad
[17:16] <dr_willis> ajay,  theres also freebasic, and wxbasic, if you need a basic to play with.
[17:17] <mib_9fzl1j> What's the best way to test a jack in the wall, an ethernet port. I think it's dead but I can't tell
[17:17] <dr_willis> ppd,  there is someway you can get the numpad to emulate a mouse.. but i forget how... (not much help on a laptop either)
[17:17] <Tj-42> Hi, I changed the size of all of my partitions with a gparted live cd, but not Grub simply freezes at the word "GRUB".  What do I need to fix to get it working again?
[17:17] <paal> hello.back again.  it worked perfectly.   !  but i wonder one more thing. i have a acer aspire 7720z.   the sound is low and the "mouse" buttons that you can scroll up and down whit is scrolling wrong way.....
[17:17] <ajay> atlef, thanks... am on a 32 bit one here :)??
[17:17] <ppd> dr_willis: I though about something like ctrl+left click

[17:18] <dr_willis> ajay,  look and see.. if not they have web sites. with binaries for linux and windows..  I gave some of them to a windows user the other day. is the reason i know of them. :)
[17:19] <Tj-42> thanks hold on
[17:19] <zoed> !uuid | zoed
[17:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Tj-42 You will end up on a live cd to fix all of that
[17:19] <Tj-42> yea, i'm on a live cd right now
[17:20] <bigmack83> in windows there are programs like Norton Ghost that lets you capture your system drive in case you ever have to reinstall. Just replace it with an image. Is there anything like this for ubuntu? or one that can capture all the packages and applications installed on your system in case you have to reinstall?
[17:20] <Tj-42> ah so what I need to do is just fix the UUID in the menu.lst file?
[17:20] <atlef> bigmack83: clonezilla
[17:21] <zoed> bigmack83 dd if=/dev/hda of /home/otherdrive/image
[17:21] <mib_9fzl1j> bigmack83: you might want to check #windows
[17:21] <bigmack83> atlef, awesome thanks. in repos?
[17:21] <dr_willis> bigmack83,  several ways to do sch a thing..  which one to use.. depends on how you wish to do it.. and the other 'things' you may want to do. Ive used 'mondo/mindi' befor.. ages ago
[17:21] <mizipzor> if i type sudo gparted, i cant resize my partition... could that be because its currently in use?
[17:21] <dr_willis> !backup
[17:21] <netsurf3> firestarter is doing awful things to my connection unless i manually start the program it will slow down the net or block entirely the connections to the network
[17:21] <netsurf3> this is using network manager
[17:21] <atlef> bigmack83: no, http://www.clonezilla.org/
[17:21] <Tj-42> mizipzor: probably, you shouldn't, even if you could, resize a partition that is in use
[17:21] <netsurf3> can someone please advise of a fix?
[17:21] <Jack_Sparrow> netsurf3 Are you doing something that requires firestarter?
[17:22] <mizipzor> Tj-42: got it
[17:22] <netsurf3> Jack_Sparrow, using the internet?
[17:22] <ajay> dr_willis, which is the wine channel?
[17:22] <dr_willis> ajay,  i would guess... #wine
[17:22] <Tj-42> if the drive has to be mounted, then try using a gparted live cd, or another live cd
[17:22] <bazhang> #winehq ajay
[17:22] <Jack_Sparrow> netsurf3 You dont need firestarter to use the internet in ubuntu.  this isnt Windows
[17:22] <bigmack83> lol thanks for the links, will definately get me started, thanks all
[17:22] <Jack_Sparrow> !firewall
[17:22] <netsurf3> Jack_Sparrow, i know its not windows
[17:23] <netsurf3> i am a linux user for 5 years
[17:23] <netsurf3> but i have never used firestarter
[17:23] <bazhang> netsurf3, you behind a router?
[17:23] <Teisei> I have used Ubuntu for a year now
[17:23] <osfameron> me neither
[17:23] <Jack_Sparrow> netsurf3 Why are you using firestarter, generally it is not needed.
[17:23] <netsurf3> i am but i still want a firewall
[17:23] <dr_willis> netsurf3,  dependign on your needs theres other firewall front ends
[17:23] <Jack_Sparrow> netsurf3 firestarter is NOT a firewall
[17:23] <bazhang> netsurf3, then learn about iptables
[17:24] <netsurf3> bazhang, any good links?
[17:24] <jurism> Can anyone help me please with setting up my DNS settings? This is my DNS settings for my server on my colocation provider's DNS panel: http://img156.imageshack.us/my.php?image=13289696qy8.png. I have DNS server on my own server, but how to point this domain to my server's DNS server? I want fully working ns1.mydomain.lv server. but now it seems that ns1.mydomain.lv is not working (I can't...
[17:24] <jurism> ...send and recieve e-mails). My DNS server was working with old DNS settings in my colocation provider's admin panel but I deleted old settings and can't remember them. I hope You'll help me! Thank You!
[17:24] <netsurf3> jurism, flood
[17:24] <bazhang> netsurf3, yes; man iptables
[17:24] <Tj-42> so what causes the GRUB freeze (just the words GRUB at the top left) after a partition resize, is it just the change in UUID, or could more have gone wrong?
[17:24] <netsurf3> fair enough
[17:24] <zoed> Jack_Sparrow: http://www.fs-security.com/ is a firewall
[17:24] <stylist> hey guys whats up
[17:24] <stylist> how ya'll doin
[17:24] <stylist> I currently have a Windows Vista Desktop
[17:25] <Jack_Sparrow> zoed I know what it is.. and it is NOT a firewall
[17:25] <stylist> With Quadcore CPU, adaptec hardware raid5 etc
[17:25] <zoed> Jack_Sparrow: ok
[17:25] <netsurf3> Jack_Sparrow, hmm sorry i ment i still want to be able to configure my firewall
[17:25] <bazhang> !ask | stylist
[17:25] <Jack_Sparrow> netsurf3 leanr iptable management
[17:25] <lynucs> guys, i have a homepc with a good sound device. now if i am somewhere with a notebook playing any music file, i'd like to use the soundcard of my homepc over network. is only esd what i need? or are there any other tools?
[17:25] <khin> hey does anyone why i cannot access phpmyadmin . i installed lamp + phpmyadmin today on hardy. phpmyadmin is not at localhost/phpmyadmin . i tried a sym link sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www but then firefox says phpmyadmin is a PHTML file and can't open it. fixes?
[17:26] <stylist> I want to buy a 32GB OCZ Core Series OCZ (all I can afford) for $130USD, and dual boot it on my quadcore vista desktop.   Is 32GB enough for a full install of Ubuntu with lots of apps like OpenOffice and Firefox etc ?
[17:26] <stylist> cheers ubottu ;)
[17:26] <bazhang> stylist, yes
[17:26] <dr_willis> lynucs,  thats supposed to be some new 'feature' of pulseaudio also.. but ive never made it work.
[17:26] <Jack_Sparrow> netsurf3 most people are less secure when they use front ends like firestarter then they would if they just let the iptables do their job
[17:26] <stylist> bazhang i never asked to ask :P
[17:26] <stylist> ok nice
[17:26] <paal> hello.back again.  it worked perfectly.   !  but i wonder one more thing. i have a acer aspire 7720z.   the sound is low and the "mouse" buttons that you can scroll up and down whit is scrolling wrong way.....
[17:26] <bazhang> stylist, that is more than enough :)
[17:26] <stylist> i am so happy bazhang :)
[17:26] <Bikerbob> anyone help me from the cli to check if the desktop has been installed.. I did a txt installer.. said to load the desktop.. but it put me to the cli and I cant seem to get X running
[17:27] <dr_willis> lynucs,  you could run the media player on the good sound pc. and have its 'gui/display' show up locally also. with  ssh/X forwarding or vnc, or xdmcp , and so forth
[17:27] <stylist> I am so excited to boot Ubuntu on my quadcore desktop of a *FAST* 32GB SSD :-) say hello to compiz, kicker etc
[17:27]  * dr_willis dosent want to see that credit card bill stylist  :)
[17:27] <netsurf3> Jack_Sparrow, does ubuntu come configured?
[17:27] <zoed> Bikerbob: run aptitude search ubuntu-desktop | grep "^i"
[17:28] <atlef> stylist: i hope you say hello to 64bit as well
[17:28] <lynucs> dr_willis: then the files should be available on the homepc or shared over nfs.. that's what i would like to avoid
[17:28] <Jack_Sparrow> netsurf3 If you want to test the tables, boot a live cd and go to grc.com and do the shields up test of your ports
[17:28] <stylist> atlef: What cons and benefits does running the 64bit version of Ubuntu have ?/
[17:28] <bazhang> netsurf3, no iptables does not come configured
[17:28] <lynucs> that should be really just the sound signal
[17:28] <stylist> Because I'll be using 32bit by default, unless I see reasons to go 64bit
[17:28] <netsurf3> bazhang, so you effectively run naked for all new users
[17:29] <dr_willis> lynucs,  does it really matter... :)   do what you want.. this is linux.. theres proberly a dozen other ways to do it as well.  but that 'using the other pc's sound card' was supposed tobe a new feature in PulseAudio. No idea if it actually works
[17:29] <stylist> Im concerned about application stability, and driver support under 64bit Ubuntu. I did at least have those problems attempting to use 64bit Windows
[17:29] <dr_willis> !pulse
[17:29] <Jack_Sparrow> stylist stick with 32bit until you get a better feel for how things work.. Unless you have over 4 gigs of ram, you dont really need 64
[17:29] <stylist> Sorry not application stability, application compatibility ;)
[17:29] <thunderdan> !gnu
[17:29] <Jack_Sparrow> !chroot > stylist
[17:29] <stylist> Jack_Sparrow: Only 2GB of RAM for now, planning to upgrade in months
[17:30] <stylist> ffs i dont want to build no 32bit chroot environments etc
[17:30] <stylist> i just want a nice shiny desktop
[17:30] <Jack_Sparrow> 32 bit is what you want
[17:30] <gharz> guys, how do i update my $PATH? should i use export?
[17:30] <bazhang> 32bit then :)
[17:30] <stylist> 32bit it will be ;)
[17:30] <stylist> lol
[17:31] <atlef> bazhang: why
[17:31] <zoed> gharz: export PATH="$PATH:/my/new/bin"
[17:31] <Quark_> Hey - Can anyone tell me how to unblock a port - i.e.  6667 ?
[17:31] <atlef> bazhang: just want to know
[17:31] <Jack_Sparrow> atlef very little speed increase, chroot and flash issues
[17:32] <atlef> Jack_Sparrow: ok, no such problem here
[17:32] <Jack_Sparrow> !worksforme
[17:32] <zoed> In 64bit, I have the problem I can't play any dvds
[17:33] <jerone> atlef: stylist: I would suggest using 32-bit for now .. for third party app compatibility and less headache with some packages .. while 64bit does work fine, if you don't have a real use .. you will see little benefit .. so unless you have an app that needs to use over 2 gig address space or you have over 4 gigs of ram .. it's not worth running
[17:33] <bigmack83> ok so i have found that Duplicity, Simple Backup, backupzilla, and HomeUserbackup are the main backup programs out there. any reccomendations between those apps for a new ubuntu user? though im not afraid of the CL, im just new to ubuntu.
[17:33] <stylist> hmm I see there is kubuntu and Ubuntu, with Kubuntu using the KDE, since I want the Vista like kicker/kickoff start menu am I better off downloading Kubuntu, or if I download Ubuntu is switching to KDE as simple as choosing KDE in the login screen?
[17:33] <eax_> Hi :) I'm trying to reset my Asus EEE PC and I won't to mount a usbstick manually, it's "located" ind /dev/sdb1 but how do I mount it? I tried "sudo mount" but it said something about a filesystem??
[17:34] <Jack_Sparrow> bigmack83 simple dd command from cli
[17:34] <Jack_Sparrow> !eeepc
[17:34] <netsurf3> Bigmack not tried the others but duplicity was used to do my backups last year and this year for uni
[17:34] <Bikerbob> zoed: I cant even figure out how to search in aptitude... grr
[17:34] <atlef> jerone: well i have 4gib of ram, and have not found any problem so far
[17:34] <jurism> Can anyone help me please with setting up my DNS settings? This is my DNS settings for my server on my colocation provider's DNS panel: http://img156.imageshack.us/my.php?image=13289696qy8.png. I have DNS server on my own server, but how to point this domain to my server's DNS server? I want fully working ns1.mydomain.lv server. but now it seems that ns1.mydomain.lv is not working. Thank You!
[17:34] <zoed> Bikerbob: no, type (without the [ and ]): [aptitude search ubuntu-desktop]
[17:35] <jerone> atlef: I said over 4 gigs .. but even 32bit version supports over 4gigs of RAM with PAE mode
[17:35] <zoed> The command will give you some text output
[17:35] <bigmack83> Jack_Sparrow, dd? copy the ubuntu install?
[17:35] <Jack_Sparrow> bigmack83 copy any partition or drive.. yes
[17:35] <atlef> jerone: ok, but that mean you have to conigure it, 64bit supports it out of the box
[17:35] <jerone> atlef: it's mainly for applications that require a lot of virtual address space .. and 64bit giving access to more registers which give "some" performance boost to regular apps but not much
[17:36] <Jack_Sparrow> bigmack83 or tar it up... tar cvpzf backupdell.tgz --exclude=/backupdell.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/dev --exclude=/lost+found  --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys --exclude=/media --exclude=/root/.Trash -- /
[17:36] <atlef> jerone: oh, i have been using it since rc hardy
[17:36] <jerone> atlef: what I'm saying is that if you want to use 3rd party stuff .. say skype .. then 64bit becames a not worth it unless you are using it
[17:36] <HaZiLLa> Is it easy to install ubuntu onto a macbook pro ?
[17:36] <jerone> atlef: so have I
[17:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Can you guys move the 32 to 64 bit discussion to offtopic please
[17:37] <bigmack83> jack-desktop, ok so im assuming that will still copy all system files needed for boot. Well what i was looking for was either an incremental setup so new files are added when running backup. or something similar
[17:37] <atlef> jerone: and have not found any reason to use 32bit
[17:37] <Jack_Sparrow> bigmack83 I keep a spare partition for full backups..
[17:37] <atlef> Jack_Sparrow: by all means, but not just yet. :-)
[17:37] <Jack_Sparrow> atlef Now please
[17:37] <Bikerbob> zoed: it gives and I am using Kubuntu p     kubuntu-desktop         - Kubuntu desktop system
[17:37] <bigmack83> Jack_Sparrow, ok i see that copies all but temp stuff, handy to know
[17:38] <Bikerbob> does the p mean installed?
[17:38] <Doonz> hey guys i have mdadm installed and it is running an array. how do i set it up so that i get the email when i drive has failed?
[17:38] <bigmack83> jack_i have an external to keep my backups safe
[17:38] <atlef> Jack_Sparrow: just pulling your leg
[17:38] <gharz> zoed: thanks!
[17:38] <bigmack83> oops i meant for Jack_Sparrow
[17:39] <Jack_Sparrow> bigmack83 I got it..

[17:39] <xmagixx> how to disable nvidia splash screen at login ?
[17:39] <bigmack83> Jack_Sparrow, yea thanks for the help
[17:39] <jerone> xmagixx: google it .. it's an option you add in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[17:39] <erUSUL> xmagixx: add option NoLogo to xorg.conf on the graphic card device section
[17:39] <Andy80> hi all
[17:39] <aixing> hi
[17:40] <bigmack83> appreciate it. im finding the ubuntu support much easier to get for ubuntu rather than windows. trying to make the switch. taking longer than i thought
[17:40] <xmagixx> just like "option" "NoLogo" or ? i'm googling allrdy
[17:40] <Andy80> I've a strange problem with keyboard... never happened before: ALT+TAB doesn't switch anymore from a window to another.... it simply doesn't work... any idea?
[17:40] <zoed> Bikerbob: ok, so the first character in the line that says kubuntu-desktop is an "i" indicating "installed". When you boot your system, does a graphical login screen start or do you get a command line interface?

[17:52] <bizkit> adobie promier :D
[17:52] <nathanielneall> do i need to install all those packages?
[17:52] <atlef> devede
[17:52] <zoed> !xine-ui
[17:52] <bizkit> opps did i say that?
[17:52] <atlef> keithclark: devede
[17:52] <zoed> !info xine-ui
[17:52] <keithclark> atlef, Thanks!  I'll give it a shot.
[17:52] <nathanielneall> once i install this am i done?
[17:53] <nathanielneall> is there nothing i have to put into terminal
[17:53] <atlef> keithclark: it is great
[17:54] <zoed> nathanielneall: try typing "sudo apt-get install xine-ui" into a terminal and wait until its done.
[17:55] <nathanielneall> zoed, thanks it seems to be working
[17:55] <leeping2008> Hey there, there's something I would really like to automate in a script, but I am unable to do so.  How do I SSH into a remote computer and be in the same folder that I was on the local computer (assuming synced directories and all?)
[17:55] <xmagixx> why do i have 2 settings of the same sections in xorg.conf ?
[17:56] <pen> hi
[17:56] <Quark_> erUSUL: The Server comes with it blocked, i think.
[17:56] <zoed> nathanielneall: after it is finished installing, look through the applications menu. Probably there will be be a launcher there.
[17:56] <zoed> (I'd guess in Sound & Video)
[17:57] <erUSUL> Quark_: dunno about the server but ubuntu has no firewall enabled by default. it simply does not have anything listenening on any port by default
[17:57] <st9> Hi all does ubuntu 8.04 have native mp3 support?
[17:57] <kenkku> where could I find a list of kernel "suspend error" codes? I can't suspend one USB device, it gives error -16
[17:57] <Adr1> no
[17:57] <Adr1> you have to download a codec pack st9
[17:58] <Adr1> but if you are online there will be no problem just 2 clicks
[17:58] <smm289> OK, I have a file server running ubuntu 8.04 and a laptop running 8.04.  The filer server shares files with linux and windows clients.  I had samba setup properly and sharing was possible with each of the client types.  I wanted to start over with the sharing and set it up from scratch, for practice.   I uninstalled samba on the file server.  When I went to create a share by using Nautilus right click sharing options, Natilus automaticall
[17:59] <erUSUL> Quark_: maybe you have to open the ports on the router?
[18:01] <smm289> when sharing files with a default ubuntu 8.04 on two systems what protocal should the shares be using.  Right now both 8.04 systems seem to be sharing with samba
[18:01] <xerophyte> when i want to rebuild kernel for xen i have to use this AUTOBUILD=1 NOEXTRAS=1 fakeroot debian/rules custom-binary-xen how can i specify 64 bit to that build command
[18:01] <Quark_> erUSUL: GRC shows the port 6666-6667 as closed.  I have installed ircd-hybrid.
[18:01] <ykphuah> smm289: use sftp, only use samba with windows.
[18:02] <Masteredu> i dont have a input picture with my webcam in the adobe flash player ! what i have to do !
[18:02] <siaw> what to do to see the whole picture in mplayer, im plain a 1080p video on a 720p monitor, and only seeing the center
[18:02] <erUSUL> Quark_: as i said you probably must open (forward or do nat) on your router to your server on those ports
[18:03] <smm289> i understand that.  In 8.04 Nautalis has a right click option that says sharing options, when I enable sharing for a particular folder it enables the share, but by default it seems to be using samba, is this how it should work?
[18:03] <zoed> smm289: yes, samba is used for that.
[18:03] <Quark_> erUSUL: There is no router.  The server is connected directly to the net
[18:04] <erUSUL> Quark_: i see. does "sudo iptables -L" show any rules enabled?
[18:04] <smm289> ok, so in that case samba is being used to share files for linux clients and windows clients, kind of a catch all sharing option?
[18:04] <Quark_> erUSUL: No
[18:04] <erUSUL> Quark_: then the problem is elsewhere (maybe on the irc server configuration)
[18:04] <amt2> hi, if i have shell commands in a text file, how can i execute those commands?
[18:05] <amt2> (it is not a script, it is just commands)
[18:05] <zoed> smm289: yeah, so that windows people don't come here shouting they can't access shared folders...
[18:05] <unhu> ooh, good question I am interested!
[18:05] <unhu> amt2s question that is
[18:06] <AliTabuger7> I could be wrong, but I think you're looking to create bash scripts
[18:06] <smm289> gottcha, thanks for the info
[18:06] <zoed> amt2: probably, if its one command per line, it IS a bash script. Try executing it with "bash filename"
[18:06] <antisense> This is probably a long shot, but I'll try anyway: Dual-booting Ubuntu and Vista on a Dell laptop. Does anyone happen to know whether Dell's "Windows reinstall" tool (from backup partition) will wipe everything or play nice and only touch my Windows partition? (I want to reinstall Windows but rather not have to also reinstall Ubuntu)
[18:07] <Quark_> erUSUL: I thought "apt-get install" performed configuration?
[18:07] <zoed> amt2: you can paste the file in http://pastebin.ubuntu.com, and then I can check if it looks like a valid bash script.
[18:07] <sushiX> antisense yes it will
[18:08] <sushiX> antisense:  yes it will
[18:08] <erUSUL> Quark_: some but not all ... maybe the server is nly listening in localhost no the eth interface by default lackas a nme etc
[18:08] <erUSUL> Quark_: search the web for a good how to
[18:08] <antisense> sushiX, as in "it will wipe everything" or "it will wipe the Windows partition only"? :)
[18:08] <amt2> thnaks
[18:09] <zoed> amt2: I need the url.
[18:09] <amt2> zoed, but there is another command
[18:09] <amt2> i jsut forgot it
[18:09] <amt2> there is a bash shell command
[18:09] <amt2> in which you jsut can run any commands in a text file
[18:09] <sushiX> antisense: it repartition the drives to the factory settings but y dont u reinstall ubuntu after that ??
[18:10] <zoed> you mean ". textfile" or "source textfile"?
[18:10] <amt2> oh, source!
[18:10] <amt2> yes that's it
[18:10] <amt2> source textfile
[18:10] <zoed> amt2: But that is almost the same, it just executes the commands in the same shell and doesn't start a new one like "bash filename" does.
[18:10] <Quark_> erUSUL: Documentation is non-existent.  Can you recommed a good Ubuntu IRCD?
[18:11] <erUSUL> Quark_: sorry never deployed one
[18:11] <antisense> sushiX, yeah, I guess I'll have to do that. It would be easier the other way, but this just means whipping out a few DVDs and backing up. Thanks!
[18:13] <javierg> This isn't directly related to ubuntu, but does anyone know a way to cache all my bookmarks (or maybe a program that can cache them) so that I may view my bookmarks in Firefox offline without having to save the webpage

[18:17] <starn> Polarina: well um.. can you pm me some the the functions that you like most and why you dont like thunder bird? for i never used anything but thunder bird.. for linux and windows...
[18:18] <techsupport> zoed, its not selecting the line
[18:18] <Polarina> starn: I see no reason to change.
[18:18] <zoed> techsupport: maybe the open-office document is in read-only mode?
[18:18] <zoed> (You can check in the tilebar)
[18:19] <starn> Polarina: lazy to setup thunder bird wanna find a new fav..
[18:19] <keithclark> Is there a way to use two computers in a cluster mode to speed up video encoding?
[18:19] <techsupport> zoed, no, i'm editing this document just fine
[18:19] <s0u][ight> hello i have an acer aspire 5920 and on the right of my keyboard i have media buttons like play/pause stop previous next but when i press play/pause ubuntu recognizes it as a scroll up
[18:19] <Polarina> starn: The only thing you can do is to try Evolution yourself. Different people have different taste.
[18:19] <zoed> techsupport: in openoffice.org writer?
[18:19] <s0u][ight> how can i fix this?
[18:19] <techsupport> zoed, correct
[18:20] <indian_munnda> can anyone tell me, how can i download updates without installing them? I just want to keep them on the hard drive and use them later on another PC.
[18:20] <zoed> techsupport: Can you type new stuff?
[18:20] <techsupport> zoed,  yeah and save just fin e
[18:20] <zoed> s0u][ight: go to System->Preferences->Keyboard shortcuts.
[18:20] <techsupport> zoed, dont remmember how i added this line , was a few months ago
[18:20] <starn> Polarina: my email is a gmail account and i noticed that evolution has a backup function? and um i dont recall thunder bird having one and about 3 months ago i lost 7years worth of photos and emails and data due to google... so i got an external hd and slaped ubuntu on it for safety :) i shall try it than.
[18:21] <techsupport> zoed, and changed the thikness
[18:21] <wanderingii> how do i enter root mode for run gparted?
[18:21] <stodan> is it possible to do e2fsck or any equivalent on mounted partition? (just diagnostics, read only)
[18:21] <salty> what directory are the modules found... the ones for a palm or pocket pc?
[18:21] <s0u][ight> zoed, doesn't work
[18:21] <s0u][ight> doesn't accept it as a key
[18:22] <zoed> techsupport: try selecting the 1char+line+1char and deleting that.
[18:22] <nkei0> sup all
[18:22] <giggsey> When trying to boot a AMD Turion laptop, with the amd disk - I'm getting a kernel panic - http://pastebin.com/dcce0ccb
[18:22] <vexati0n> how do i stop Hardy from running Rythmbox every time i plug in my iPod?
[18:22] <graydot> which is better way to install packages? through apt or by directly downloading source and compiling?
[18:23] <kenkku> graydot: apt is the best one, since it keeps track of dependencies
[18:23] <gharz> guys, what could be the problem if you are getting "host name not found" when you try to surf? how would i know the hosts settings?
[18:23] <indian_munnda> graydot: both are better in my view
[18:23] <nkei0> does compiz work for gnome, or is there an equivalent?
[18:23] <mitesh123> i am not able to open system->administration->authorization graphically?
[18:23] <zoed> s0u][ight: oh, I also have some keys that it doesn't accept. I solved the problem by refraining from using these keys ;). No, but somehow you must be able to use them, sorry I don't know.
[18:23] <kenkku> and apt also makes it easier to uninstall
[18:23] <KaiForce> gharz check that your DNS is set right
[18:23] <salty> graydot, i like apt it install deps too
[18:23] <indian_munnda> kenkku: but i think for new user GUI is best
[18:23] <graydot> indian_munnda: kenkku if i download source and install and later want to update, how do i uninstall old installed one?
[18:23] <gharz> is there a .conf file for dns?
[18:24] <kenkku> indian_munnda: apt has a gui
[18:24] <starn> Polarina: umm do you know the server address for gmail? or is it the same thing i enter for thunder bird imap.gmail.com ?
[18:24] <kenkku> graydot: usually by running sudo make uninstall
[18:24] <stodan> /etc/resolv.conf @ gharz
[18:24] <gharz> KaiForce: i can browse the net when i connect my laptop to the router... but when i use my wireless router i get a host name not found.
[18:24] <graydot> kenkku: but in that case i have to keep the old source on disk, i cannot delete it.
[18:24] <indian_munnda> kenkku: i haven't used that but used synaptic and in my view it is best
[18:24] <kenkku> graydot: exactly.
[18:24] <Polarina> starn: Most likely.
[18:24] <graydot> kenkku: ok
[18:24] <zoed> gharz: /etc/resolv.conf
[18:24] <pzn> Hi. I intend to buy a ibm thinkpad R61i. Is it a good option to use with ubuntu?
[18:24] <kenkku> indian_munnda: synaptic is a graphical frontend for APT
[18:25] <s0u][ight> zoed, i think i have something : acer hotkey driver for linux
[18:25] <l3d> is there a way to change the logon window settings with out having to use the gui cause when i do it never saves the settings i set, its like its locked
[18:25] <[577]> Y Da idi naxi
[18:25] <KaiForce> gharz if you can't resolve the name (host name not found) then either a) your DNS is wrong/inaccessible or b) you don't have connectivity or c) both
[18:25] <indian_munnda> graydot: u don't need to uninstall it synaptic will automatically do thata for u
[18:25] <techsupport> zoed,  i added this line by doing Insert - Horizontal ruler
[18:25] <gharz> zoed: in my resolv.conf ... nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:25] <gharz> zoed: <IP_ADDRESS> is my gateway and router
[18:25] <indian_munnda> kenkku: yes that is
[18:25] <graydot> indian_munnda: even if i compile from source?
[18:25] <gharz> huwaaaa!!!
[18:25] <giggsey> http://pastebin.com/dcce0ccb - How can I check if my laptop is corrupt?
[18:26] <Musa> motd
[18:26] <mitesh123> i am not able to open system->administration->authorization graphically? it says you are not allowed
[18:26] <zoed> techsupport: try right-clicking the line and selecting cut or delete.
[18:26] <techsupport> zoed, doesnt work
[18:26] <smm289> so..  whats Bonobo and why can't it locate the factory and why did it shutdown nautilus
[18:26] <smm289> !bonobo
[18:26] <zoed> zoed: try running "dig www.google.com" and see if it can resolv www.google.com
[18:26] <indian_munnda> kenkku: but i am saying that it is better for new users who have just switched to ubuntu from other OSs
[18:26] <smm289> added a line to smb.conf, logged out and back in and thats what I got
[18:27] <zoed> techsupport: wait a moment, I'll try adding and deleting one.
[18:27] <techsupport> zoed,  ok
[18:27] <indian_munnda> graydot: just open synaptic and select the package it will do that for u
[18:27] <kenkku> indian_munnda: sure. I didn't say that it wouldn't be
[18:27] <kenkku> indian_munnda: no, it will not
[18:27] <kenkku> indian_munnda: if one installs from source manually, that is
[18:27] <wanderingii> how do i enter root mode for run gparted?
[18:28] <kenkku> wanderingii: alt+f2, "gksudo gparted"
[18:28] <kenkku> wanderingii: without the quotes, naturally
[18:28] <smm289> oh, nvm, logged in then back out, seems Bonobo is happy
[18:28] <zoed> techsupport: try adding a few newlines before and after the ruler. Then select several lines of text below the ruler, the ruler and several lines of text above the ruler. Then press Backspace.
[18:28] <kenkku> graydot: and to answer your question, no, synaptic won't be able to keep track of programs you installed from source
[18:29] <zoed> at least, that worked for me.
[18:29] <graydot> kenkku: thanks. that confirms what i thought
[18:29] <shank1> I've been dealing with network issues on my fresh ubuntu server install for 2 weeks now, I tried 3 different network cards, and I still cannot get it to work. I can assign and IP, but cannot ping anything. ifconfig reports okay, and so does mii-tool.
[18:29] <gharz> KaiForce: i have connectivity coz i'm using the same connection with this machine and the other machine which i'm fixing
[18:30] <KaiForce> gharz then you can't see your DNS servers or they aren't set.
[18:30] <zoed> s0u][ight: I guess you meant http://www.cakey.de/acerhk/. If you have that laptop, you can try.
[18:30] <indian_munnda> kenkku: but when i install new packages, it automatically installs that which is latest.
[18:30] <darksifer> can some1 tell me a software to burn a dvd into an image? plz
[18:30] <KaiForce> try running nslookup, and in nslookup type "www.google.com" with no quotes
[18:30] <gharz> KaiForce: why is it that when i connect the pc through LAN cable i can browse the net... but when i use the wireless it can not. :(
[18:31] <kenkku> indian_munnda: that only applies to _packages_
[18:31] <wanderingii> im running gparted here but none of the options to delete parition are enabled when i select the hard drive i want to format
[18:31] <indian_munnda> kenkku: yup
[18:31] <zoed> darksifer: brasero (Applications->sound and Video->Brasero Disc Burning).  you can choose a drive or "File image"
[18:31] <kenkku> indian_munnda: which you're not dealing with if you compile stuff from soure yourself. got it?
[18:31] <KaiForce> gharz:  i would check that dns servers are set when you use wireless (look at /etc/resolv.conf) and the nslookup test.  Also make sure you have a gateway set when in wireless
[18:32] <kenkku> *source
[18:32] <indian_munnda> kenkku: yup, now got it right.
[18:32] <indian_munnda> kenkku: thank you
[18:32] <gharz> KaiForce: when i ran nslookup... Server <IP_ADDRESS> Address <IP_ADDRESS>#53
[18:32] <indian_munnda> kenkku: tell me one more thing
[18:32] <KaiForce> did it resolve google?
[18:32] <gharz> KaiForce: Non-authoritative Answer: www.google.com canonical name = www.l.google.com.
[18:32] <xv22_> how can i find the process id from an open X window?
[18:32] <indian_munnda> kenkku: can you tell me, how can i download updates without installing them? I just want to keep them on the hard drive and use them later on another PC.
[18:33] <gharz> KaiForce: Name: www.l.google.com Address <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:33] <smm289> ok, I added a samba share on my filer server by using the right click sharing options in nautilus.  In order for my client to see that share I had to log out and then log back in.  Is there a command I can issue to make that share visible without doing the log-in log-out process
[18:33] <xv22_> like xkill but without kill
[18:33] <gharz> KaiForce: those are the details that i got... there are more 4 lines but i didn't include in my above message
[18:33] <kenkku> indian_munnda: at least with the commandline apt-get, yes
[18:33] <kenkku> indian_munnda: hold on, I'll tell you how in a moment
[18:33] <KaiForce> looks like it is working
[18:33] <KaiForce> so if you go to google what happens
[18:33] <indian_munnda> kenkku: ok
[18:34] <gharz> KaiForce: by the way, i'm using links... don't have window manager at the meantime
[18:34] <KaiForce> and are you running this test on wireless
[18:34] <gharz> yes...
[18:34] <Ab3L> hello
[18:34] <Kenton> Hi, room. I'm mounting some shares from my networked Windows PC on my Ubuntu laptop. They mount just fine, whether I mount them manually or via fstab. When I shutdown the laptop, however, it hangs (after the final Ubuntu splash screen) if I don't manually umount the shares before shutting down. I thought mounting them via fstab would automagically umount them upon system shutdown. Apparently that's not happening. Any ideas?
[18:34] <shank1> I've been dealing with network issues on my fresh ubuntu server install for 2 weeks now, I tried 3 different network cards, and I still cannot get it to work. I can assign and IP, but cannot ping anything. ifconfig reports okay, and so does mii-tool.
[18:35] <smm289> anyone know how to make a newly shared folder display on a clients network list without doing a log-out log-in procedure
[18:35] <gharz> KaiForce: that test on the wireless... i can ping my router... i can ping my isp and give the ISP's ip address... but i get Destination Host Unreachable.
[18:35] <KaiForce> gharz i don't know then - maybe something links specific?
[18:35] <abadinalbany> hi all. is it possible  to change what is output when my openssh instance is hit by a web browser? I'd like to not advertise version info if possible ... or that I'm running SSH at all ...
[18:35] <gharz> uhmmm... don't know.
[18:35] <l3d> what is the glade project and are three glade projects supposed to be in the /usr/share/gdm/     ?
[18:35] <KaiForce> gharz trying pinging www.yahoo.com
[18:36] <cygoku> What's the command line to know the video card driver version ?
[18:36] <gharz> KaiForce: PING www.yahoo.com-ht3.akadns.net (87.248..113.14) 56(84) bytes of data. From <IP_ADDRESS> imcp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
[18:37] <KaiForce> there is your problem
[18:37] <KaiForce> you can't get out
[18:37] <smm289> how to update network share list without logging out then back in?
[18:37] <KaiForce> something is misconfigured
[18:37] <gharz> KaiForce: is it a router problem or my wireless problem?
[18:37] <kenkku> indian_munnda: apt-get install -d packagename
[18:37] <indian_munnda> can anyone tell me is there any substitute available for beep-media-player in ubuntu 8.04
[18:37] <darkweasel> hi everyone, i want to install kvirc, but the version from the ubuntu archives isn't the current one, so i got a .deb package from kvirc.net...but when i install it, update manager wants to update to the version from the ubuntu archives...but i don't want to use the old version ;) any idea what i can do?
[18:37] <guntbert> gharz: <IP_ADDRESS> is what macine?
[18:38] <guntbert> *machine
[18:38] <nkei0> So, if I'm messing around adding packages from the repositories and one of them fails to load and the window freezes, what should I do?
[18:38] <gharz> KaiForce: my laptop ... the one i'm fixing
[18:38] <kenkku> indian_munnda: or, alternatively, just download the packages directly from packages.ubuntu.com. that way you won't get any dependencies though
[18:38] <indian_munnda> kenkku: i don't want to install the packages i just wanna download to keep them on the disk
[18:38] <cygoku> What's the command line to know the video card driver version ?
[18:38] <kenkku> indian_munnda: yeah that's what it does. the -d means just download
[18:38] <gharz> guntbert: wait.... .18 is the ip address of the NIC...
[18:38] <kenkku> indian_munnda: it'll download the packages to /var/cache/apt/archives/
[18:39] <indian_munnda> kenkku: if i wanna download all packages then
[18:39] <guntbert> gharz: please pastebin the output of "route -n"
[18:39] <Myrtti> darkweasel: ubottu, not FloodBot1
[18:39] <gharz> guntbert: i can't pastebin it coz i'm using another machine...
[18:40] <indian_munnda> kenkku: how to do that?
[18:40] <nikki_> ubuntu.de
