[17:28] <avis> i get this message when building the b43 legacy drivers myself b43legacy (/lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43legacy/b43legacy.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) when i try and sudo modprobe b43legacy
[17:28] <conb123> ASULutzy: yes i have windows on /dev/sda1 and linux on /dev/sda5
[17:28] <Jack_Sparrow> kerik I used the one just before the -77
[17:29] <ASULutzy> somethingorigina: Neat, well then you ought to do what I said earlier, try booting without the faulty drives, just to see if somehow they're what's stopping your grub menu from appearing
[17:29] <topsub> pdroy80, its a sata internal hard drive. your saying connect it as if it was a usb drive?
[17:29] <kerik> Jack_Sparrow, ok...how did you come across that one?
[17:29] <ASULutzy> conb123: do this: sudo umount /dev/sda5 && sudo fsck /dev/sda5
[17:29] <pdroy80> topsub: I was mentioning about an external hardidk connected via the USB
[17:29] <Jack_Sparrow> kerik it was listed under restricted drivers, just one back
[17:29] <onetinsoldier> nebopolis: you should include a pastebin url of your xorg.conf file and your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file in the description of your problem
[17:29] <conb123> sudo umount /dev/sda5 && sudo fsck /dev/sda5
[17:29] <alexmax> Hi there.  It seems like there is an inconsistancy in using the scroll wheel on the desktop between compiz and no-compiz.  With compiz, using the scroll wheel on the desktop switches workspaces, without it I have to manually switch workspaces which is annoying.  How do I get mousewheel workspace switching?
[17:29] <kerik> Jack_Sparrow, as I was told before i left earlier on, I might have had 3 diff. drivers installed....can you tell me how to install the right one?
[17:29] <somethingorigina> ASULutzy: I might as well make that the next step. Just wanted to share that post as it seems quite helpful!
[17:29] <conb123> sorry i just typed it in here by accident
[17:30] <kerik> Jack_Sparrow, via hardware drivers?
[17:30] <conb123> lol
[17:30] <topsub> pdroy80 no i have a 500 gb hard drive i want to mount to this ubuntu jeos for backups. but i need to allow that guest to read / write to this new hard drive.
[17:30] <kerik> Jack_Sparrow, or synaptics?
[17:30] <Jack_Sparrow> kerik yes. but if it is working, make a backup
[17:30] <evilx_> Anyone know where  I can find some documentation about setting up ubuntu to be a PXE server with the clients using x11vnc?
[17:30] <conb123> ASULutzy: it returns /dev/sda5: not mounted
[17:30] <Jack_Sparrow> kerik hardware drivers... restricted etc
[17:30] <kerik> Jack_Sparrow, I have to ask you...how to make a backup in Linux?
[17:30] <ASULutzy> ok, then do sudo fsck /dev/sda5
[17:30] <evilx_> I find stuff on just pxe server, but nothing about X11vnc
[17:31] <hischild> !backup | keres
[17:31] <nebopolis> onetinsoldier: the laptop is not currently connected to the Internet. sorry
[17:31] <kerik> Jack_Sparrow, all of home dir?
[17:31] <hischild> kerik, ^ see above ( keres, wrong nicK)
[17:31] <keres> what??
[17:31] <keres> lol
[17:31] <Jack_Sparrow> kerik Here is one I have used in the past..  tar cvpzf backupdell.tgz --exclude=/backupdell.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/dev --exclude=/lost+found  --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys --exclude=/media --exclude=/root/.Trash -- /
[17:31] <conb123> ASULutzy: it returns fsck.ext2: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/sda5
[17:31] <conb123> Could this be a zero-length partition?
[17:31] <onetinsoldier> nebopolis: roger...
[17:32] <kerik> Jack_Sparrow, just write that in terminal?
[17:32] <rpattabi> QUESTION: How can I install source code? I enabled 'sources' checkbox in synaptic. Updated the package info. Still I don't see source code packages. E.g. I want to download and install inkscape source version. Any idea?
[17:32] <pdroy80> topsub: the only way I currently know is you can make an NFS or samba share in the host machine and then access it from the guest machine via ip
[17:32] <ruadh> ASULutzy: I get a message saying, "sudo: /etc/init.d/mysql: command not found"
[17:32] <Jack_Sparrow> kerik yes, but there are many options...  remember sudo as needed..
[17:32] <pdroy80> topsub: just like sharing it across two different machines
[17:33] <carpii> rp3__: sudo apt-get source <package>
[17:33] <kerik> Jack_Sparrow, sure..
[17:33] <Solarium> Hello guys and girls
[17:33] <ASULutzy> ruadh: Er, maybe try sudo /etc/init.d/mysqld start
[17:33] <Kidfork> Is it possiable to remove all of the GNOME panels from my desktop?
[17:33] <ASULutzy> conb123: Well, that's not good news, google "Could this be a zero-length partition?" Nothing comes back very positive
[17:33] <onetinsoldier> rpattabi: go to your home directory, or wherever you want to download the source package to. then try -->  apt-get -d install <source_package> ; ls
[17:34] <Solarium> Question: I was looking for some sis drivers, some nice person posted a link to a file that supposed to be the driver from sis developer, this is the first post from that person, so i am a little bit not sure wheather i should run it. the file is <name>.run
[17:34] <Solarium> Any way to see whats inside and what it does ?
[17:34] <onetinsoldier> rp3__: you'll probably ne to proceed that with the 'sudo' command
[17:34] <pdroy80> ASULutzy: its /etc/init.d/mysql and not mysqld
[17:34] <cousins> bapt
[17:34] <ASULutzy> pdroy80: Yea, I thought it was, that's what I told him to do and he said command not found
[17:34] <bastid_raZor> Solarium; open it with a text editor like vim or nano
[17:35] <ASULutzy> ruadh: How exactly did you install mysql?
[17:35] <pdroy80> ASULutzy: may be mysql is not installed
[17:35] <ruadh> ASULutzy: Done that and still get the same message
[17:35] <Solarium> bastid_raZor, okay trying that. Thanks
[17:35] <ASULutzy> pdroy80: Yea, I guess I should never trust, "I installed mysql but can't get it to run" ;)
[17:35] <ruadh> ASULutzy: get-apt install mysql-server-4.1
[17:36] <kerik> jack
[17:36] <rpattabi> onetinsoldier and carpii. Thanks for your suggestions. I will try that.
[17:36] <Kidfork> Is it possiable to remove all of the GNOME panels from my desktop?
[17:36] <pdroy80> ASULutzy: if you do "dpkg -l mysql-server" one will know if mysql server is installed or not
[17:36] <kerik> Jack_Sparrow, it tells me that "cowardly refusing to create an empty archive"
[17:36] <ASULutzy> ruadh, pdroy80: Yea, was about to suggest that next :) do sudo dpkg -l mysql-server
[17:36] <Solarium> Well i opened a file and there is a line there that every one keeps warning me about on the forums, tell me if i am wrong this is the command in the file: rm -rf ./sis*
[17:36] <Solarium> is that safe to do ?
[17:37] <fosco__> Kidfork, if you are using gnome at least one panel must be present
[17:37] <onetinsoldier> rpattabi: sorry! i had your nick wrong.. as well as the command... wait!!!
[17:37] <Jack_Sparrow> kerik were you in root of drive as in try  cd /    first
[17:37] <carpii> solarium, if you dont understand what it does, you need to read up
[17:37] <carpii> itll remove all files beginnign with sis
[17:37] <Kidfork> fosco__: okay thanks for your help
[17:37] <kerik> hmm...no diff...
[17:38] <ASULutzy> Solarium: That will remove all files that begin with ./sis in the directory the script is run from, if it's part of an install script, maybe not a big deal, but you ought to understand what it's doing
[17:38] <carpii> but -rf means recurse (all directories) and force (no confirmations)
[17:38] <ubuntu> hi people
[17:38] <fares> can anyone here help me with setting up webcam on intrepid?
[17:38] <Solarium> carpii, i don't understand it :( a little bit of a new comer :P so decided to ask you people for a quick guidens to this problem.
[17:38] <kerik> Jack_Sparrow, should I put in all the --excludes?
[17:38] <ASULutzy> !hi | ubuntu
[17:38] <onetinsoldier> rpattabi: it should be like this...   sudo apt-get -d source <package_name>  ...example --->   sudo apt-get -d source xsnow
[17:38] <carpii> Solarium, well for it to be safe, it depends what youre trying to do
[17:38] <Solarium> ASULutzy, i am trying to with your help & thanks
[17:38] <ruadh> ASULutzy: It says "no packages found matching ..."
[17:38] <ubuntu> anyone here can help with wireless?
[17:39] <ASULutzy> ruadh: So you didn't actually install mysql :)
[17:39] <Solarium> ASULutzy, carpii its suposed to be a driver for my sis graphics card in a driver.run file
[17:39] <Solarium> ASULutzy, carpii its suposed to be a driver for my sis graphics card in a driver.run file
[17:39] <carpii> and you want to delete it?
[17:40] <ASULutzy> ruadh: Any reason you need 4.1 specifically?
[17:40] <ruadh> ASULutzy: How should have I installed it?
[17:40] <Solarium> ASULutzy, carpii some one posted it on the ubuntuforums, but its hes first post, and i had some back expirience with those drivers so trying to understand before i do anything, thanks again
[17:40] <Kidfork> Can i make a rescue CD for ubuntu? Kinda likes windows?
[17:41] <Mallen> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem
[17:41] <fares> Kidfork: Your live CD should already contain a rescue mode
[17:41] <ASULutzy> ruadh: I would have just done sudo apt-get install mysql-server though that will pull down 5.0
[17:41] <brainac0cult> k
[17:41] <ruadh> ASULutzy: I have "MySQL Tutorial" book and it expects users to have 4.1 installed
[17:41] <kerik> Jack_Sparrow, but if we should move onto next step...what would that be?
[17:41] <Guest40637> hi
[17:41] <Kidfork> fares: well about a week ago Ubuntu wouldn't load, and when i stuck the live CD in (as it told me) it just went to the installation screen and i had to reinstall and lost all of my files
[17:42] <fares> ruadh: maybe you should try sudo apt-get install mysql-server-4.1
[17:42] <ASULutzy> ruadh: Well, I would either just sudo apt-get install mysql-server and count on most of the stuff still working, or you're going to have to download the source for 4.1 and compile it yourself
[17:42] <ASULutzy> fares, ruadh: If you're on intrepid, you won't be able to apt-get install it, it's obsolete
[17:42] <ruadh> ASULutzy: ok. thanks
[17:43] <ASULutzy> ruadh: If it were me, I'd just grab mysql-server
[17:43] <fares> anyone can help me here with setting up webcam?
[17:43] <fares> I can see the cam on lsusb
[17:43] <fares> but no corresponding /dev/video* node
[17:43] <ASULutzy> Kidfork: You did it wrong ;) when it goes to the install screen, there's a try Ubuntu option
[17:44] <fares> and the gspca or quickcam module isn't loaded
[17:44] <ASULutzy> Kidfork: From there you can work on trying to fix your install
[17:45] <Kidfork> ASULutzy: Im kinda a newbie, i wouldn't no how to do something like that,
[17:45] <JoshGo1> hey there, i need some support with installing Ubuntu, using the livedisc.. and trying to get a dualboot with Vista working.
[17:45] <kirko> hello, I would like to install the package described at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+package/linux-image-2.6.24-16-openvz. But it is not listed in my repositories. How do i make it available to apt-get install ...?
[17:45] <Jaza> Can anyone tell me what app I can use to sync Iphone?
[17:45] <ASULutzy> Kidfork: That's what #ubuntu and the forums are for
[17:45] <carpii> in ubuntu server, whats responsible for updating the /etc/motd ? it seems to be dynamic whereas I just want a static text file
[17:45] <JoshGo1> "use free space" <-- uses 100% of the disc.. i'd like to leave my Vista section intact
[17:45] <coeus82> Jaza: I believe songbird does that
[17:46] <Kidfork> Jaza: have you already activated it through iTunes?
[17:46] <minhxuan> Why i can`t install flahsplayer
[17:46] <ASULutzy> JoshGo1: I never use the auto installer personally, just setup the partitions manually, it's not too tough and people can guide you through it
[17:46] <kerik> ikonia, hey there
[17:47] <conb123> ASULutzy: hi i didn't find much on google but one guy was saying that his problem was because fstab was telling linux that his partition was ext3 when really it was ext2 does my fstab look ok to you http://pastebin.com/m411e27ab
[17:47] <pdroy80> minhxuan: do you want flashplayer for your firefox
[17:47] <ASULutzy> JoshGo1: Set the Vista partition to the size you want it, create a new ext3 partition for "/" and also create a small partition for swap (at a minimum)
[17:47] <Jaza> yes I have activated on itunes
[17:47] <JoshGo1> ASUL, can you guide me through? or is this correct: http://img87.imageshack.us/my.php?image=examplerw0.png
[17:47] <Spaff> hello, who fancies helping me decipher why ubuntu won't recognise the keyboard and trackpad on my laptop after install?
[17:47] <Kidfork> Jaza: Ok Have you tried Rythumbox to sync it yet?
[17:47] <minhxuan> hi
[17:48] <ASULutzy> conb123: That's the fstab from your livecd, your real /etc/fstab would be on /dev/sda5... I would repost the output you got when you tried to fsck /dev/sda5, maybe someone can be more helpful about it than I was
[17:48] <minhxuan> i have problem
[17:48] <pablo> !imspector
[17:48] <Kidfork> Jaza: try using gtkpod or Amorak
[17:48] <minhxuan> why i can`t install flash player
[17:48] <kerik> Jack_Sparrow, are you here mate?
[17:48] <Jaza> no but I tried gtkpod and hipo ipod
[17:48] <minhxuan> can you hepl me
[17:48] <kerik> tiyowan, are you here?
[17:48] <Kidfork> Jaza: Try amorak
[17:49] <Jaza> and wont work it does not recognize it
[17:49] <minhxuan> uk
[17:49] <pdroy80> minhxuan: you can install vlc and view flash videos
[17:49] <ASULutzy> JoshGo1: No that is going to destroy the whole disk, pick guided resize
[17:49] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash minhxuan
[17:49] <onetinsoldier> rpattabi: ok, i also found that you don't need to use 'sudo', and it's probably preferable not to
[17:49] <ASULutzy> JoshGo1: Guided resize looks alright (though you may want to give Windows more or less space depending on your needs)
[17:49] <pdroy80> if you want to see flash in your firefox then you can get it done by "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree"
[17:49] <kirko> hello, I would like to install the package described at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+package/linux-image-2.6.24-16-openvz. But it is not listed in my repositories. How do i make it available to apt-get install ...?
[17:49] <Kidfork> Is it possiable to remove passwords from accounts?
[17:50] <kirko> Or, more general, can you add the launchpad packages to your repositories?
[17:50] <pdroy80> Kidfork: do you want to login with out a password ?
[17:50] <nebopolis> alright, managed to get logs using a flash drive, so reposting:  I' having a rather odd problem with an older Powerbook that I just installed ubuntu on. I was able to install ubuntu with no problems, but once I booted it X had a "painterly" effect (jittering blocks of the screen moving back and forth, up and down making it impossible to read text.) A low-res screenshot can be found here: http://orangutanpotato.com/images/122
[17:50] <nebopolis> 3081100c.jpg.  The graphics card is a Ati rage mobility M3 agp 2x according to the xorg.conf, and it is using the "ati" driver. I tried changing the driver to vesa or vga, but that did not solve the problem. Graphics work fine in text mode, so I am suspecting a xorg configuration problem. Xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/m149c0602 /var/log/Xorg.0.log: http://pastebin.com/m752ce8c6
[17:50] <unitedroad> Hi everyone
[17:50] <ASULutzy> Kidfork: Yes, but you should make sure that's what you want to do... I certainly wouldn't recommend it... If all you want is to be able to login without a password that's a different story from "I want no passwords"
[17:50] <Kidfork> pdroy80: Yes
[17:51] <JoshGo1> ASUL : guided resize just resizes the existing windows partition.. leaving the unused space unused
[17:51] <JoshGo1> I will try manual
[17:51] <Eu> #saojosedoegito
[17:51] <Kidfork> ASULutzy: Well im the only one who uses this PC is there isn't much that people would care about
[17:51] <Eu> join saojosedoegito
[17:51] <Kidfork> ASULutzy: SO how can i login without a pass
[17:51] <ASULutzy> Kidfork: Well, if you don't have a user password then there won't be a password for sudo either.
[17:51] <pdroy80> Kidfork: looking where I had seen that option in System
[17:52] <unitedroad> I have upgraded my linux kernel from 2.6.22-14 to 2.6.24 using aptitude, this has caused some problems for with Compiz-fusion
[17:52] <unitedroad> I now have both kernels on my system
[17:52] <ASULutzy> JoshGo1: The picture you sent, the guided resize option looked like it was about right, but feel free to do manual and post another screen shot
[17:52] <puff> I just spent a day _moving_ data from one drive to another (both in USB enclosures), only to have the second drive start that click of death... so I had to laboriously rsync it back, unplugging the dying drive and letting it cool down every timei it started clicking.  Okay, now I'm back at square one, the data is on a reliable drive but I need to get it off that drive because it's private data and a shared( physically) drive.  I
[17:52] <puff>  have four more drives I can put in the second USB enclosure, but how do I make sure the next drive isn't going to die on me?
[17:52] <Kidfork> ASULutzy: Thats not a problem my kids do use it and the only thing they do is play games, so them using the terminal is out of the question
[17:53] <unitedroad> my nvidia glx package has been upgraded from 100.14.19 to 169.12
[17:53] <JoshGo1> ASUL : New screenshot using manual:  http://img228.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotyh7.png
[17:53] <ASULutzy> Kidfork: I'm not worried about kids, but not having root accessible without any pw is very dangerous, there's a reason Linux is significantly more secure than Windows, and having a root account is one of them, you shouldn't completely remove any usefulness of the root account
[17:53] <unitedroad> so the glx driver works fine my 2.6.24 kernel's nvidia module
[17:53] <unitedroad> but it fails with 2.6.22 kernel module
[17:53] <ASULutzy> Kidfork: There's a way to setup auto-logins, I'll take a look in a sec
[17:54] <pdroy80> Kidfork: in the olden days what I used to do is, do "vim /etc/passwd" go to the line which my name and then remove the "x" int he second column
[17:54] <Jaza> Kidfork: Amerok is asking for pre-connect command and post disconnect command?
[17:54] <pdroy80> Kidfork: be sure you know what you do before you do this
[17:54] <JoshGo1> auto logins can be setup in the account section
[17:54] <ASULutzy> JoshGo1: That looks fine, just out of curiosity, what's up with having 3 NTFS partitions?
[17:54] <Kidfork> ASULutzy: Ok what if i setup a acount for my kids, can i have them login without a pass, and ill keep mine?
[17:54] <JoshGo1> Its a HP notebook.. with 1 Vista partition.. and 2 recovery partitions..
[17:55] <JoshGo1> will remove them one day..
[17:55] <Kidfork> pdroy80: Yep im sure
[17:55] <unitedroad> I need to know if I can configure different GLX versions to be used with my two kernel versions
[17:55] <JoshGo1> Kidfork, just set a guest account without full rights
[17:55] <kerik> hey
[17:55] <onetinsoldier> unitedroad: it's a very good idea to have the description your problem kept all in one single line
[17:55] <ASULutzy> JoshGo1: Got'cha, but yea, that looks fine, oh wait, are those all primary partitions?
[17:55] <kerik> tiyowan: hey
[17:55] <pdroy80> JoshGo1: Autolog, it only enables autologin but I think he does not want password for sudo also
[17:55] <JoshGo1> The NTFS ones are, so the Ubuntu ones are extended..
[17:55] <Kidfork> Jaza: One moment
[17:55] <JoshGo1> autologin doesnt auto sudo
[17:56] <Jaza> Ok thanks
[17:56] <ASULutzy> JoshGo1: K, just making sure, cause I don't think you can have more than 4 primary partitions :) but yea, that looks fine
[17:56] <JoshGo1> Thats right ASUL
[17:56] <unitedroad> onetinsoldier: it is a slightly long description so I felt I should split it up
[17:56] <unitedroad> I will try again
[17:56] <ASULutzy> Kidfork: Yes, you can setup passwordless accounts for them very easily
[17:56] <onetinsoldier> unitedroad: not a good idea, even if it's so long that it comes out as more than oneline
[17:56] <archman> anyone here using opera? flashplayer working?
[17:56] <pdroy80> ASULutzy: you are correct one can not have more than 4 primary partitions
[17:57] <Kidfork> Jaza: in order to use your iphone in ubuntu your going to have to install "jailbreak" in which you must download from your iPhone directy, SO use Safari>google>"jailbreak"
[17:57] <Kidfork> ASULutzy: How would i go about doing this
[17:57] <Spaff> hello, who fancies helping me decipher why ubuntu won't recognise the keyboard and trackpad on my laptop after install?
[17:57] <Mallen_> Test
[17:57] <unitedroad> onetinsoldier: yea I get it, I will now put it all together in one message
[17:58] <Kidfork> Jaza: for further instrutions please follow this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone
[17:58] <drumstyk11> hey guys, im pulling my hair out here and would appreciate any tips... I did a fresh 8.10 install and the wireless internet (w/wep) fired right up. Then i installed the updates and restarted.  Now i can see network but i can no longer connect :/
[17:58] <pdroy80> Spaff: what brand and model is your laptop ?
[17:58] <Spaff> hiya, it's a Toshiba Satellite
[17:58] <macjason0607> guys
[17:58] <pdroy80> Spaff: model number ?
[17:58] <ASULutzy> Kidfork: I may have exaggerated the easiness of setting up blank passwords, it's easy, you just have to create the user and then do passwd -d, but a simpler option (and the right one I think) is to go to system -> administration -> login window, from there click the security tab, and you can configure certain users to automatically be logged in
[17:59] <Spaff> Pro A200
[17:59] <onetinsoldier> unitedroad: ok, roger. sometimes i make a file and type out my description it it to make sure it looks all good. then copy and paste that into the channel. then it's easier for me to refine it and save it in case i need to come back and paste it again the next day
[18:00] <Kidfork> ASULUtzy: thank you very much
[18:00] <ASULutzy> Kidfork: So you could leave the password on your account (so that sudo is still safe and useful) but just have it automatically login the user, should take care of it.
[18:00] <ASULutzy> Kidfork: No problem
[18:00] <unitedroad> onetilesoldier: thanks for this advice, I will now do this
[18:00] <charles__> f
[18:00] <unitedroad> onetinsoldier^, sorry typo
[18:00] <onetinsoldier> unitedroad: you're welcome
[18:00] <Spaff> pdroy80, any ideas?
[18:00] <macjason0607> when i used to plug cd's in they used to read from /media/cdrom0 i had to change the mbr for windows a couple of days ago .. i just reinstalled grub and now when i boot into ubuntu i get an error  can't mount /media/cdrom0
[18:01] <Jaza> thanks kidfork
[18:01] <pdroy80> Spaff: was looking anyone else had problems with ubuntu on this model, I guess keyboard and trackpad works for all
[18:01] <drumstyk11> has anyone ever heard of wireless not working after updates?
[18:01] <unitedroad> ok here is the description of my problem
[18:01] <unitedroad> I have upgraded my linux kernel from 2.6.22-14 to 2.6.24 using aptitude, this has caused some problems for me with Compiz-fusion.
[18:01] <unitedroad>  I now have both kernels on my system and my nvidia glx package has been upgraded from 100.14.19 to 169.12.
[18:01] <unitedroad> Now the glx driver works fine my 2.6.24 kernel's nvidia module, but it fails with 2.6.22 kernel module.
[18:01] <unitedroad> I need to know if I can configure different glx version to be used with my different kernels.
[18:01] <FloodBot3> unitedroad: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:01] <pdroy80> Spaff: is that a fresh install ?
[18:02] <unitedroad> oops
[18:02] <pdroy80> have you done any modifications ? does the keyboard work in GRUB ?
[18:02] <ASULutzy> Just a quick question, it's been a while since I actually installed Ubuntu from CD, but when Jaunty rolls around I'll probably be doing a fresh install on my laptop, and for security reasons (ie if the laptop gets stolen) I was wanting to encrypt the disk. Does Ubuntu support that (or plan to support that) from the live-cd or only from the alternate, and if only from the alternate, what is the reasoning on that? I've seen other distros (lots, don't want to a
[18:03] <Spaff> pdroy80, obviously had no problems with them in XP. It's a pain as I finally gave up trying to get Ubuntu to work on my desktop after it simply refused to work with my hard drive set up, so I convinced myself it would be simpler on my laptop, but not even being able to type or use the mouse is making it almost impossibleQ!
[18:03] <unitedroad> I would be careful about this from now
[18:03] <Kidfork> ASULutzy: I just tried it out and what i wanted to do didn't
[18:03] <pablo> i have a problem with a package called imspector, it does not log anymore, is there a reason /var/log/imspector was ruined with a rm -rf, even when it was mkdir again and correct permissions ?
[18:03] <onetinsoldier> unitedroad: ok, i'm not complaining here, but that's too many lines to put into that chat all at once. you need to keep it as one single line(no end-of-line returns), or the channel bot will kick you
[18:03] <ASULutzy> Kidfork: What happened?

[18:11] <hischild> !language | BuGo_laptop \
[18:11] <Fernandooo> thanks
[18:11] <BuGo_laptop> or maybe i can find it anywhere in memory cache or smt?
[18:11] <guptaxpn> BuGo_laptop: don't say that, it's "fscking" in this room, keep the language clean
[18:11] <BuGo_laptop> hischild, sorry but i am so in rage right now.
[18:11] <BuGo_laptop> i just want to recover my work somehow
[18:11] <BuGo_laptop> is there any way?
[18:12] <hischild> BuGo_laptop, learn to control yourself. I got more reason to be in rage, yet i am still calm.
[18:12] <SlimeyPete> BuGo_laptop: it's unrecoverable. It's usually best to write these things in a text editor then paste them into the wiki.
[18:12] <SlimeyPete> FF won't have cached it anywhere
[18:13] <IdleSanta> how do I merge 2 partitions ( unallocated ) one of the partitons is extended if that makes a difference?
[18:13] <kerik> hey guys...which driver to use with geforce 6600go?
[18:13] <LjL> BuGo_laptop: you most, most likely won't recover it, but try "sudo grep -a some-word-that-was-in-the-document /dev/mem | hexdump"
[18:13] <samuel__> kerik use the manufacturer drivers ;)
[18:13] <archman> anyone managed opera to get working with flash?
[18:13] <kerik> samuel__: you think? ;)
[18:13] <Android> slets
[18:13] <drumstyk11> has anyone ever heard of wireless not working after updates? i am on a fresh install of 8.10 and it worked before i updated it :(
[18:13] <samuel__> yes
[18:13] <jab> is there anyway to display your processors load on the top bar?
[18:14] <BuGo_laptop> LjL, grep: /dev/mem: Operation not permitted
[18:14] <kerik> samuel__: I have fu**ed up my installation once...not once more...
[18:14] <Android> what is ps ax?
[18:14] <LjL> BuGo_laptop: you do need sudo
[18:14] <Pici> Android: Its a command to show your running processes.  man ps  in a terminal
[18:14] <BuGo_laptop> LjL, it was done with sudo
[18:14] <Jim_Raynor> Howdy boys
[18:14] <dumber> drumstyk11: what channel are you using for your wireless net?
[18:14] <Android> How do i un-install ubuntu?
[18:15] <Jim_Raynor> Ubuntu is running nice, but it's kinda slow when Firefox eats too much RAM
[18:15] <bazhang> Android, overwrite the partition
[18:15] <Pici> jab: There is a panel applet for system information, one of the meters is system load.
[18:15] <drumstyk11> dumber the default channel 1
[18:15] <sara-> do resisters have a positive or/and negitive?
[18:15] <LjL> BuGo_laptop: then i don't know, check the permissions of /dev/mem...
[18:15] <Android> ok
[18:15] <LjL> !ot | sara-
[18:15] <Pici> sara-: ##electronics
[18:16] <dumber> drumstyk11: Okay. My update also broke. Apparently default ubuntu install doesn't support some european channels. Though that might be your problem as well.
[18:16] <drumstyk11> my laptop sees the network but can't get an IP (dhcp)

[18:16] <alekhine36> hello guys, I am having trouble setting up me webcam on ubuntu 8.10
[18:16] <dumber> drumstyk11: have you tried running dhcpcd from terminal?
[18:16] <Pici> Jim_Raynor: Not really on-topic for this channel. Try ##hardware or #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:17] <alekhine36> it doesn't show up in skype
[18:17] <sara-> pici thank you i didnt kanow it existed
[18:17] <drumstyk11> dumber: i haven't, im not familiar with this but i will try it now
[18:17] <dumber> drumstyk11: the command should be "sudo dhcpcd eth1". Change eth1 with the wireless interface name.
[18:17] <alekhine36> thanks. i'll try that on ##hardware
[18:17] <pdroy80> dumber: why does one have to run dhcpd ? that the dhcp server, one has to do " sudo dhclient"
[18:17] <LjL> BuGo_laptop: i don't know. if you're on intrepid, maybe they've crippled /dev/mem somehow... works on Hardy
[18:17] <U-b-u-n-t-u> I installed tor using synaptic package manager on ubuntu 8.04 and when I set the proxy settings in firefox I get this Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.
[18:18] <Android> how can i boot without running gnome?
[18:18] <Jaza> has anyone had any problems when jailbraking Iphone?
[18:18] <Pici> Jaza: Again. Not on-topic for this channel. Try ##iphone
[18:18] <dumber> pdroy80: Agreed. However, dhcpcd is another dchp client tool. dhclient should work as well.
[18:18] <ASULutzy> Android: Just choose recovery mode from grub boot menu, that'll give you a root terminal with no gnome
[18:18] <BuGo_laptop> LjL, i am on 8.10
[18:18] <dumber> pdroy80: Sorry, I am not really on ubuntu now.
[18:18] <Android> ASULutzy, thanks
[18:19] <BuGo_laptop> and i am going to kill myself... darn if makes me sooooo in rage...
[18:19] <BuGo_laptop> ok
[18:19] <LjL> BuGo_laptop: that's intrepid, i'm on 8.04 (hardy)
[18:19] <BuGo_laptop> really tnx for the help
[18:19] <pdroy80> dumber: just checked there is also a dhcpcd
[18:19] <Jaza> sorry I didn't know there was  a channel just for Iphone
[18:19] <dumber> pdroy80: I know.
[18:20] <Tomasso> how do i control access to svn repositories using the ubuntu apache version ?
[18:20] <drumstyk11> dumber: i am having to install dhcpcd... is that a bad sign?
[18:20] <dumber> drumstyk11: nope. not at all.
[18:21] <dumber> drumstyk11: However, I think I spoke too soon for the wireless problem. You are using network manager from the panel applet, right?
[18:21] <IdleSanta> ok I got my partitions the way I want. 10GB for / 60+- for /home and /swap. when I get to the partitioning part of installer what do I select to use my existing partition?
[18:21] <U-b-u-n-t-u> anyone else having trouble with foxyproxy and or tor for ubuntu 8.04?
[18:21] <Pumper> hi guys I need some help in order to change the priveleges of an external HD I added recently....how is it possible?
[18:22] <drumstyk11> dumber: i believe so, its just the default one that pops up in the tray

[18:23] <U-b-u-n-t-u> nothing

[18:24] <OmnipotentEntity> hey guys, my wireless keeps dropping out, I get stack traces in my kern.log that look like this: http://rafb.net/p/1r9Saa24.html is this a driver issue or a hardware issue?
[18:24] <ocx32> hehe....
[18:24] <OmnipotentEntity> It's an atheros chipset.

[18:24] <Cadman21> what are the best settings for desktop cube?
[18:25] <drumstyk11> dumber: could the channel be the issue if it worked out of the box on the fresh install?
[18:25] <IdleSanta> Cadman21: the ones that work best for you
[18:25] <OmnipotentEntity> macjason0607, I have utf8 in my fstab
[18:25] <OmnipotentEntity> I wouldn't see why you'd want to get rid of it.

[18:26] <ph8> can anyone help me? I'm installing intrepid from scratch - i want an encrypted root partition and encrypted swap - but I don't want to enter two passwords at boot - i'm looking at LVM as the answer - do I create one LV group with both my (to-be) swap and (to-be) root partitions in? Or one LV group each?
[18:26] <Pici> Cadman21: #compiz-fusion would be the best place to talk about specific configurations if you already have compiz working.
[18:27] <OmnipotentEntity> ph8, you can't have an LV swap.
[18:27] <Cadman21> Pici: thanks
[18:27] <Biscuit> dearest linux chums. I'm struggling to get my keyboard and trackpad working on my Toshiba Satellite Pro Laptop despite there being no reported problems documented by other users of this laptop anywhere online that I can find. Anyone have any ideas as to why I can't get it to work?
[18:27] <ph8> OmnipotentEntity, ah. So LVM isn't the answer? Do you perhaps know how I can achieve my goals?
[18:27] <U-b-u-n-t-u> Cadman21, if it is working the command is cntrl+alt+left mouse
[18:28] <U-b-u-n-t-u> if it doesnt work with that command then its not set right
[18:29] <OmnipotentEntity> oh
[18:29] <OmnipotentEntity> ph8, I apologize.
[18:29] <ph8> :o?
[18:29] <OmnipotentEntity> oh wait.
[18:29] <OmnipotentEntity> no
[18:29] <ph8> lol
[18:29] <OmnipotentEntity> However, there is a limitation: The swap partition cannot be a LVM logical volume. It must be a real disk partition.
[18:30] <OmnipotentEntity> unless this is just as in reference to the hibernate feature.
[18:30] <ph8> so my option is unencrypted swap and one pass, or two passwords?
[18:30] <OmnipotentEntity> I don't have much experience with LVM
[18:30] <OmnipotentEntity> well,
[18:30] <ph8> unless i go into all this storing a key in the 2nd LUKS slot -- which means nothing to me
[18:30] <ph8> (found one post)
[18:30] <OmnipotentEntity> you don't really want an unencrypted swap.
[18:31] <OmnipotentEntity> If you're concerned about disk encryption.
[18:31] <jucaoma> nas !
[18:31] <ph8> indeed
[18:31] <ph8> but two passwords is also a massive pain

I now have both kernels on my system and my nvidia glx package has been upgraded from 100.14.19 to 169.12. Now the glx driver works fine my 2.6.24 kernel's nvidia module, but it fails with 2.6.22 kernel module. I need to know if I can configure different glx...
[18:34] <unitedroad> ...version to be used with my different kernels. Here my pastebins --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/91756/ - xorg.conf and http://paste.ubuntu.com/91760/ - xorg.log

[18:36] <jeff_> those 2 i have
[18:36] <The_Joe_> Anyone? No one? someone?
[18:37] <OmnipotentEntity> hmm...
[18:37] <Pici> The_Joe_: Asking 'anyone' doesnt really help.  Anyway. Nautilus is your desktop manager, so log out and login again.
[18:37] <The_Joe_> Pici, Oh I thought it was independent from GNOME - oh well, thanks.
[18:37] <qcjn> need help with a computer that i use as a server ? didn't write here the problem, cause i don't wan t to take all the space with a big paragraph ?
[18:38] <OmnipotentEntity> jeff_, download xchat and disable those addons, you'll need to restart firefox, which means leaving this channel as well, just start up xchat when you get done.
[18:38] <skorasaurus> qcjn, the ubuntu-forums may be more appropriate for the problem then.

[18:41] <OmnipotentEntity> g0bl1n, my roommate has one.
[18:41] <g0bl1n> OmnipotentEntity, UNR installed ?
[18:41] <Tumpster> anyone able to help with some speaker configuration?
[18:42] <OmnipotentEntity> g0bl1n, nope.
[18:42] <g0bl1n> ok ;)
[18:42] <hifi> I need a little help installing Ubuntu on the same device I booted the installer, I installed the installer on /dev/sda2 which is the old distributions swap and booted it from grub, the installer however wont detect the same device it booted from to be available to be installed to, how could I force that on the fly?
[18:43] <Dark_Aaron-Linux> kerik: idk
[18:43] <hifi> so basically I'd install it over /dev/sda1 and make /dev/sda2 swap when the install is completed
[18:43] <OmnipotentEntity> hifi,
[18:43] <OmnipotentEntity> how much memory do you have?
[18:43] <hifi> 256MB
[18:44] <hifi> I only need it to boot without swap only once so I can set it up later
[18:44] <hifi> I have no CD's and the machine can't boot off a USB key
[18:44] <demontager> how to format HDD in NTFS? In Gparted such possibility deactivated
[18:45] <mib_6ly8k5pm> can someone help me with my macbook running kubuntu from a live DVD
[18:45] <hifi> though if you have any tips how to boot the installer from USB key from the disk GRUB I'd be happy to hear
[18:45] <boubbin> mib_6ly8k5pm whats wrong ?
[18:45] <mib_6ly8k5pm> wifi isnt working
[18:45] <OmnipotentEntity> hifi, I was going to suggest making a RAM disk, and then dding that onto sda1, but you don't have enough memory for that.
[18:46] <hifi> if somehow I could boot the installer from the USB stick without system support
[18:47] <Slack_> who heres got the google beta on ubuntu
[18:47] <OmnipotentEntity> hifi, hmm... you could chroot into it,
[18:47] <OmnipotentEntity> and then launch everything from there.
[18:47] <hifi> could I boot the installer kernel from GRUB and set root device to /dev/sdb1 which is the thumb drive
[18:47] <mib_6ly8k5pm> slack_ theres a google linux? (other than android)
[18:47] <Slack_> yezzir
[18:48] <OmnipotentEntity> hifi, no, that requires motherboard support.
[18:48] <mib_6ly8k5pm> where can i get it?
[18:48] <OmnipotentEntity> for USB
[18:48] <OmnipotentEntity> which you don't have,
[18:48] <Slack_> their website
[18:48] <kerik> tiyowan: are you here?
[18:48] <hifi> OmnipotentEntity: but if I boot the GRUB and installer kernel from my hard drive
[18:48] <hifi> and just set the kernels root device to USB drive
[18:48] <OmnipotentEntity> oh, sorry.
[18:48] <OmnipotentEntity> yes
[18:48] <hifi> it would load the USB support I suppose?
[18:49] <OmnipotentEntity> that should work.
[18:49] <OmnipotentEntity> well,
[18:49] <OmnipotentEntity> if it loads the kernel, then yes.
[18:49] <Slack_> mib_6ly8k5pm: does android support the street view, i just installed the beta gEarth, and it baaarely works
[18:49] <mib_6ly8k5pm> i dont know, i dont have the google phone
[18:49] <qcjn> i use a computer as a server, got mpd & icecast2 + lamp and thats about it. I used ubuntu 8.04, if i'm going to reinstall, would you have an ather suggestion ?
[18:49] <kerik> other than me who have problems with USB-ports on dist 8.04
[18:49] <hifi> OmnipotentEntity: I'll try that, thanks for the brainstorm :)
[18:49] <Slack_> mib_6ly8k5pm: was i talking about the phone?
[18:49] <OmnipotentEntity> hey guys, my wireless keeps dropping out, I get stack traces in my kern.log that look like this: http://rafb.net/p/1r9Saa24.html is this a driver issue or a hardware issue?
[18:50] <OmnipotentEntity> hifi, no prob. :)
[18:50] <mib_6ly8k5pm> slack_: idk
[18:50] <Slack_> mib_6ly8k5pm: download the beta and tell me if it works for you
[18:50] <skorasaurus> kerik, how have you progressed ? did you find anything in the logs that would be suspicious ?
[18:50] <skorasaurus> (like stating an error or not)
[18:51] <ConstantineXVI> Besides looking 10 years old, is Tkinter solid enough to use in Real Life (TM) ?
[18:51] <kerik> skorasaurus: I'm not quite sure what to look out for
[18:51] <tcdiem> anyone can give me a help with gvfs thingy ? I installed ubuntu-minimal stuff and have been configuring my system by hand (for learning pruposes) .. but I couldn't get the "automounter" thing working. nautilus lists my other partitions (windows for example) but don't let me mount it or see it's files .. any tips ?
[18:51] <mib_6ly8k5pm> slack_: it wont work on a computer
[18:52] <mib_6ly8k5pm> Slack_: If you can program in (probably assembly) you could probably port it for a computer
[18:52] <Slack_> mib_6ly8k5pm: ?
[18:52] <OmnipotentEntity> kerik, cat /var/log/kern.log and paste it to http://www.rafb.net/paste and send us the URL
[18:52] <Slack_> mib_6ly8k5pm: i think i lost you
[18:52] <mib_6ly8k5pm> Slack_: do you know what source code is?
[18:52] <nat2610> my sound is some what crashed right now, it's looping on a 1/100 of a sec peace of my sound, I tryied to start alsamixer to check but I have alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: Connection refused is there anything I can do to reinitialize the sound without rebooting ?
[18:53] <Slack_> mib_6ly8k5pm: its a debian .bin
[18:53] <kerik> here goes http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/91772/
[18:53] <OmnipotentEntity> nat2610, have you tried sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart ?
[18:54] <vesayth> Hello! Does anyone know of a way to install the Ventrilo server on 64-bit Ubuntu (8.10)? Or if you can point me to a thread regarding it that would be wonderful (I haven't been able to find any).
[18:54] <tcdiem> nat2610: if you are using pulseaudio (comes with default install of ubuntu), it might work to restart the daemon
[18:54] <skorasaurus> kerik, do you have another usb key to test ?
[18:54] <nat2610> which deamon ? alsa ?
[18:54] <mib_6ly8k5pm> slack_: source code is the files that make up a program (think of the ingredients in a recipe)
[18:54] <nat2610> I used the default one
[18:54] <unitedroad> I have upgraded my linux kernel from 2.6.22-14 to 2.6.24 using aptitude, this has caused some problems for me with Compiz-fusion. I now have both kernels on my system and my nvidia glx package has been upgraded from 100.14.19 to 169.12. Now the glx driver works fine my 2.6.24 kernel's nvidia module, but it fails with 2.6.22 kernel module. I need to know if I can configure different glx...
[18:54] <unitedroad> ...version to be used with my different kernels. Here my pastebins --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/91756/ - xorg.conf and http://paste.ubuntu.com/91771/ - xorg.log
[18:55] <skorasaurus> kerik, how many usb ports do you have ?
[18:55] <Slack_> mib_6ly8k5pm: lol, i understand that
[18:55] <kerik> skorasaurus: I have 4
[18:55] <OmnipotentEntity> kerik, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/91777/
[18:55] <tcdiem> nat2610: try OmnipotentEntity suggestion (/etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart), if it doesn't work, looks for a process called pulseaudio and restart it
[18:55] <OmnipotentEntity> your USB driver crashed.
[18:56] <OmnipotentEntity> it could be bad hardware.
[18:56] <onetinsoldier> unitedroad: i noticed something at the top of your 'xorg.conf' file --> This file was generated by failsafeDexconf, using values from the debconf database and some overrides to use vesa mode.  -->You should use dexconf or another such tool for creating a "real" xorg.conf<--
[18:56] <mib_6ly8k5pm> Slack: haha
[18:56] <OmnipotentEntity> it crashed at boottime.
[18:56] <Pici> unitedroad: Why do you need to use the old kernel version? Have you upgraded to a new version of Ubuntu?
[18:56] <mlise> can someone tell me how to get maildrop working with virtual users?
[18:56] <deeri`pening> d
[18:56] <mdmkolbe> My sister's laptop got reset to factory defaults (i.e. disk re-imaged), but she would like to recover some of the data that was on there.  I plan to throw an Ubuntu live CD at it but what software should I use to recover the data?
[18:56] <mib_6ly8k5pm> Slack_: do you know how to program?
[18:56] <onetinsoldier> unitedroad: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[18:56] <kerik> OmnipotentEntity: how do you tell??
[18:57] <mlise> it appears maildrop doesn't support mysql auth from standard packages?
[18:57] <unitedroad> onetinsoldier:I am currently using 7.10 AMD64 version
[18:57] <OmnipotentEntity> kerik, I pasted the part of the log that told me, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/91777/
[18:57] <U-b-u-n-t-u> anyone else having trouble with foxyproxy and or tor for ubuntu 8.04?
[18:57] <unitedroad> Pici:things were working smooth on the older version and there are still some other issues I am having with the newer one
[18:57] <ushills> Hi, I have just installed a new hard drive and would like it to work as an extension to the original, i.e when the original is full expand into the new as if one disk can I do this?
[18:57]  * mlise is looking for maildrop help
[18:58] <yoavk> Where can I download a driver that supports aircrack for Broadcom BCM4311 ?
[18:58] <mib_6ly8k5pm> Slack_: hellooooooo
[18:58] <OmnipotentEntity> pretty much kerik, your USB ports are disabled until restart.
[18:58] <OmnipotentEntity> you might try a sudo modprobe usbcore
[18:58] <OmnipotentEntity> and see if that works.
[18:59] <kerik> OmnipotentEntity: ok....so they initialize them ok, but then crashes?
[18:59] <onetinsoldier> unitedroad: ok, you should probably also add that to the description of your problem. sorry i didn't mention that previously. now, in 8.10, here is how i have try to have folks generate a 'real' xorg.conf file. but alas, i have a feeling this may not work so well with your older version of ubuntu
[18:59] <Pici> unitedroad: If you just upgraded then using the older kernel isn't going to change the fact that you're using updated versions of all the other software.
[18:59] <OmnipotentEntity> kerik, yes.
[18:59] <OmnipotentEntity> almost immediately too.
[18:59] <unitedroad> onetinsoldier:I had generated the Xorg.conf using dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[18:59] <OmnipotentEntity> try a modprobe and see if that works.
[18:59] <OmnipotentEntity> it probably won't though,
[18:59] <ASULutzy> yoavk: That should be supported out of the box in Intrepid by the STA driver, just click System -> Administration -> hardware drivers
[18:59] <kerik> OmnipotentEntity: it shouldn't give me any print? - the modprobe?
[19:00] <OmnipotentEntity> geeksquad, what's your badge number?
[19:00] <OmnipotentEntity> no, it shouldn't kerik.
[19:00] <OmnipotentEntity> but
[19:00] <OmnipotentEntity> check your kern.log again.
[19:00] <OmnipotentEntity> tail /var/log/kern.log
[19:00] <OmnipotentEntity> and see if it crashed.
[19:00] <GodfatherofEir1> Could somebody help me compile a shared object archive?
[19:01] <geeksquad> why are you talking to me
[19:01] <mib_6ly8k5pm> can anyone help me get wifi working with kubuntu
[19:01] <onetinsoldier> unitedroad: ok... good. you just did this? or this how the xorg.conf file was made that's in your pastebin?
[19:01] <ASULutzy> !enter | OmnipotentEntity
[19:01] <mib_6ly8k5pm> I have a macbook
[19:01] <lianimator> why does firefox download the jpg I'm viewing (obviously downloaded already) download it again when I save it?
[19:01] <hifi> OmnipotentEntity: as a backup, do you know how I could enable the installer to accept the boot device as destination media
[19:01] <geeksquad> mib_6ly8k5pm: go to #kubuntu
[19:02] <OmnipotentEntity> geeksquad, I assume you came into the channel to say something, I was just curious
[19:02] <mib_6ly8k5pm> geeksquad: thankx
[19:02] <OmnipotentEntity> hifi, no, I've never had to do that before. :/ sorry
[19:02] <geeksquad> oh i just had a ban and i wanted to check if it was over
[19:02] <dontyoujusthatem> as i get more traffic, i am getting this error....should i get more RAM ?
[19:02] <pisecx> Guys, how can I know /dev/ that joystik use?
[19:02] <dontyoujusthatem> Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 1835008) (tried to allocate 311296 bytes)
[19:02] <unitedroad> onetinsoldier: this is how the xorg.conf in the pastebin was made
[19:02] <hifi> OmnipotentEntity: even know the partition search scripts path_
[19:02] <GodfatherofEir1> Could somebody help me compile a shared object archive, because the normal usplash is a 2nd generation .so file, but I need the 3rd gen cause I'm running intrepid, and the usplash doesnt work with a version 2
[19:02] <hifi> or have a hint
[19:03] <hifi> I'm completely lost in Ubuntu as for hacking the system
[19:03] <onetinsoldier> unitedroad: ok, roger.
[19:03] <OmnipotentEntity> hifi, strace the installation script. ;)
[19:03] <sonicfart> ushills: I would recommend that you google on your problem or turn to the ubuntu forums or even Linxquestions.org.

[19:04] <Bradj47> hi
[19:04] <Bradj47> i have serious problems
[19:04] <unitedroad> Pici: I would eventually move entirely to the new kernel but right now I just wanted to try running the the glx on the old kernel while also keeping the new kernel
[19:04] <AJC_Z0> When inserting removable media (CD, DVD, etc.), how do I add an application to the list of apps which are associated with that media and presented in the pop-up window?
[19:04] <hifi> you're not the only one
[19:04] <Bradj47> i installled compiz and it totally changed my screen resolution
[19:04] <GodfatherofEir1> I really could use some help with compiling this cause the Makefile is throwing up errors for file flags
[19:05] <OmnipotentEntity> kerik, you seem to have used cat on it, try using tail.
[19:05] <GodfatherofEir1> I've already installed build-essential ane gcc
[19:05] <GodfatherofEir1> *and
[19:05] <Legendario> hi. I am experiencing a weird problem. I can't play any online games since i upgraded to intrepid.
[19:05] <Ruadh> ASULutzy: Thanks for your help. I have MySQL installed and running in Ubuntu and Debian
[19:05] <unitedroad> onetinsoldier: I had got some exception in the /var/log/messages files related to this, should I paste that too in the pastebin
[19:05] <Pici> unitedroad: Thats not really possible with that version of Ubuntu.  Intrepid introduced dkms, which makes it a bit easier to move from one kernel to the next with out major problems with hardware drivers.
[19:05] <ASULutzy> Ruadh: No problem
[19:05] <Guest91115> is there a file i can edit to change the default screen resolution?
[19:05] <kerik> OmnipotentEntity: OH I should add the tail in the front?
[19:05] <Legendario> can anyone help me here?
[19:06] <ASULutzy> Guest91115: Can you not change your resolution via System -> Preferences -> Screen resolution?
[19:06] <Guest91115> i can't read the size
[19:06] <OmnipotentEntity> kerik, just run this in terminal: tail /var/log/kern.log
[19:06] <lianimator> Legendario: be more specific. what type of game? flash or java?
[19:06] <hifi> OmnipotentEntity: damn, didn't work
[19:06] <geeksquad> Legendario: what do you think?
[19:06] <unitedroad> Pici is there no way then that I can make the configuration pick up the old nvidia glx driver when the old kernel and its nvidia module are loaded?
[19:06] <Guest91115> it would be better if i could vi a text file and zomm in using the terminal
[19:06] <ASULutzy> Guest91115: Just hold alt and click it to move the window around
[19:06] <onetinsoldier> unitedroad: might not hurt... although, someone will probably have a good idea of how to try and fix your problem fromthis error message in your Xorg.0.log file.. --> (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)
[19:06] <Mallen> If the gfx card drivers arnt installed then you cant fix it
[19:06] <dontyoujusthatem> Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 1835008) (tried to allocate 311296 bytes)
[19:06] <Mallen> or change it
[19:06] <hifi> I just have to somehow force it to install
[19:07] <ASULutzy> Guest91115: There's always /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:07] <Guest91115> ok, thanks ill try that
[19:07] <Pici> unitedroad: I'm not sure how to do it when moving major kernel versions like you did. Sorry.
[19:07] <cha0s> hey guys i have a question about bash scripting... i have a script that manages some source code branches for me... well i have the branches say at /foo/bar ... well, when i type this script say bs, i'd like tab completion to go from the /foo/bar directory, regardless of where i'm at. is this possible?
[19:07] <OmnipotentEntity> hifi, why didn't it work?  No strace installed?
[19:08] <Legendario> lianimator, at Urban Terror i was stuck at the "awaiting gamestate" screen. Enemy Territory does the same. OpenArena can't download the server list from master server and Urban Terror now does the same since i tried to reinstall it
[19:08] <hifi> OmnipotentEntity: I mean it didn't show the system disk when I booted the installer from the system disk itself
[19:08] <hifi> and set root device to the stick
[19:08] <unitedroad> onetinsoldier:I would still upload that, if in case it could help someone in resolving this
[19:08] <geeksquad> cha0s: go to #bash
[19:08] <hifi> only the thumb drive is still shown
[19:08] <Legendario> it's a very odd problem. I tried to turn off the firewall, but it didn't help...
[19:09] <vallhalla81> hey there all does any one know if there is a way to have an image in the back ground of file browsers insted of the theme color?
[19:09] <unitedroad> Pici: is there a direct upgrade path from 7.10 to Itrepid?
[19:09] <lianimator> Legendario: find out what ports they run on, and try opening the ports while running firewall
[19:09] <Pici> unitedroad: There isn't. You'd need to go through 8.04 first.
[19:09] <Guest91115> ASULutzy: could you tell me what property i can add under the 'screen' section to fix it?
[19:10] <onetinsoldier> unitedroad: ok. rorger that
[19:10] <OmnipotentEntity> hifi, you can just install it, apt-get install strace :)
[19:10] <OmnipotentEntity> hifi, oh? sorry, missed your last line.
[19:10] <Guest91115> would it be Resolution  <screen-resolution>?
[19:10] <OmnipotentEntity> hifi, drat.
[19:10] <Legendario> lianimator, I tried turning off the firewall completely, but it didn't work...
[19:10] <OmnipotentEntity> hifi, what about my chroot idea?
[19:11] <hifi> OmnipotentEntity: it's little risky
[19:11] <lianimator> Legendario: try making exceptions instead.
[19:11] <hifi> funny when I googled hard drive install it described about the same method I used
[19:11] <hifi> without hacking the installer
[19:11] <hifi> http://news.softpedia.com/news/Alternative-Installation-Methods-for-Hardy-86977.shtml
[19:12] <ASULutzy> Guest91115: I'm not sure that that's going to fix anything really, if there's nothing in there, then I think by default it boots into the highest resolution available? You could try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg, but are you only experiencing this problem with compiz enabled?
[19:12] <jeff_> HELP!
[19:12] <jeff_> it took me 10 minutes to get back in here
[19:12] <Guest91115> ASULutzy: yes
[19:13] <jeff_> How do i stop my computer from crashing Mozilla

[19:13] <nicolas__> hey guys, I'm having problems properly installing flash on Ubuntu
[19:13] <DarkKnight> hey can anyone tell me how to install packages from one box to another using openssh
[19:13] <Guest91115> ASULutzy: i remember having this problem once before and someone told me to change something in a text file, i just can't remember what it was
[19:13] <nicolas__> flash movies dont play properly
[19:13] <Guest91115> no, where are the logs?
[19:13] <ASULutzy> Guest91115: /var/log/Xorg.0.log is probably a good start
[19:13] <Legendario> lianimator, sorry. i don't understand. Can u be more specific?
[19:13] <ASULutzy> Guest91115: Oh, well if you know how to fix it then go ahead
[19:14] <lianimator> Legendario: start your firewall and try opening the ports you need. find out what ports the games use.
[19:14] <Tonno> how do I create a .iso file on Ubuntu 8.04?

[19:15] <c4pt> i am having some trouble changing eth1 to wlan0 i am using the bcm43xx driver its a linksys wmp300n any help would be greatly appreciated
[19:15] <hifi> OmnipotentEntity: could it be the installer really really can't find the disk
[19:15] <hifi> hmm, could I manually install it
[19:15] <hifi> the system boots and I have terminal and I can do stuff to the disk
[19:15] <OmnipotentEntity> hifi, if that's the case then it shouldn't show up in /dev ?
[19:15] <famio> someone with experience mounting samba shares from active directory? i'm having problems regarding uids/gids mapping
[19:15] <Legendario> lianimator, but if i lowered the firewall completely and it didn't work, what's the point?
[19:16] <hifi> OmnipotentEntity: but it shows up and I can fdisk it
[19:16] <jeff_> onetin, it doesnt do anything
[19:16] <gaintsura> how can I set iptables to accept all connection from source ports 1024-65535 to port 51413 ?
[19:16] <somethingclever> I Installed flock via a deb file from getdeb, is there a way to remove it?
[19:16] <DarkKnight> hey can anyone tell me how to coonect one system to another on a lan using ssh
[19:16] <onetinsoldier> jeff_: after doing that does firefox/mozilla still crash?
[19:16] <lianimator> Legendario: if you're unwilling to try, then I can't help you
[19:17] <ASULutzy> DarkKnight: ssh the.ip.address.here
[19:17] <c4pt> ??
[19:17] <DarkKnight> <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:17] <DarkKnight> ASULutzy; <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:17] <c4pt> how would i go about changing eth1 to wlan0?
[19:17] <ASULutzy> DarkKnight: If you're looking to mount the drives, you'll have to use sshfs
[19:17] <ASULutzy> DarkKnight: or samba I guess
[19:17] <Legendario> lianimator, sorry, but i even tried to unistall the firewall to be sure if that was the problem, and again, it didn't work, so that doesn't seem to be the problem
[19:17] <OmnipotentEntity> hifi, then I can't think of a reason why it can't find the disk save that it's omitting it from the list.
[19:17] <OmnipotentEntity> hifi, are you mounted read only?
[19:17] <OmnipotentEntity> hifi, on second thought, that shouldn't matter, because that's partition specific not disk specific.

[19:18] <DarkKnight> ASULutzy; hey no the problem is that using net connection..we update and install packages on one system and from that system we want to update all other systems
[19:18] <hifi> OmnipotentEntity: I was someone used root=/dev/mem option to boot, I'll try if it has any difference
[19:18] <hifi> -I was

[19:20] <Pici> ScottG489: Applications > Add/remove programs
[19:20] <ASULutzy> DarkKnight: I woulda taken a look at ltsp before you set all this up ;)
[19:20] <ant> what is the best automated installer to use for ubu? kickseed? fai?
[19:20] <DarkKnight> ASULutzy; hey the ipaddress is of our lab and right now i am at home...if you tell me how to do things...i shall do it in lab later
[19:20] <ultimate> ??
[19:20] <ScottG489> Pici: Well those are only currently installed ones right?
[19:20] <somethingclever> onetinsoldier, thanks
[19:20] <onetinsoldier> yaris123456789: well, i doubt i know how to help with that, but what's causing that error to occur? does that happen just from booting up ubuntu or what?
[19:20] <OmnipotentEntity> hey guys, my wireless keeps dropping out, I get stack traces in my kern.log that look like this: http://rafb.net/p/1r9Saa24.html is this a driver issue or a hardware issue?
[19:20] <OmnipotentEntity> Or is this not enough information to determine this?
[19:20] <onetinsoldier> somethingclever: you're welcome
[19:20] <Pici> ScottG489: No. That lists available software in the repositories.
[19:20] <ScottG489> Pici: currently installed but not active
[19:20] <yaris123456789> onetinsoldier: when i get more and more traffic, out of memory fatal error occurs and the site becomes dead
[19:21] <ASULutzy> DarkKnight: I'm not really sure the best way to do that though tbh, though rsync might work
[19:21] <knoppix> mile
[19:21] <hifi> if the install cd would be working I'd not be in this situation...
[19:21] <hifi> I'm ready to stab myself in the eye

[19:22] <Tetracomm> Are there any command line mp3 to ogg converters?
[19:22] <DarkKnight> ASULutzy; i didnt get you...when i asked someone...they told me to use ssh...and even onetinsoldier was also present
[19:22] <yaris123456789> okay so, as more and more ppl visit my site at the same time, Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 1835008) (tried to allocate  occurs, now the server is dead.
[19:22] <mkeith> I have a dell inspiron e1705 laptop with a  VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility X1400 video card my question is how do i shut my screen off in ubuntu 8.10
[19:22] <MHz128> hey all
[19:22] <onetinsoldier> yaris123456789: let people know what yuo just tole be. tell tham what version and architecture of ubuntu you are running, and versionof apache/mysql, ect
[19:22] <tux91> Hi everybody. How do I enable syntax highlighting in vim (i got vim-full installed)?
[19:23] <onetinsoldier> yaris123456789: let people know what you just told me. tell them what version and architecture of ubuntu you are running, and versionof apache/mysql, ect
[19:23] <ASULutzy> DarkKnight: Well, you can use ssh and sshfs and scp to copy files from one machine to another no problem, but if you're looking to like, synchronize systems and stuff, then that's a bit more complicated
[19:23] <MHz128> How can I make a backup of my Ubuntu system and be able to extract that backup to another hard disk and be able to boot from it?
[19:23] <onetinsoldier> MHz128: perhaps search google for Unix Ghost... aka g4u
[19:23] <ASULutzy> DarkKnight: If all you want is to share drives sshfs will work fine
[19:23] <DarkKnight> ASULutzy; then whats the solution
[19:23] <linny1> MHz128: have you looked at remastersys
[19:24] <MHz128> cool, will look it up
[19:24] <ushills> Can I use LVM on an existing parition without using the information on that partition
[19:24] <DarkKnight> ASULutzy; its not drives...i want packages to be installed automatically
[19:24] <hotdog003> Hello. I'm making a script that'll let a friend of mine get to his live USB flash drive. The problem, however, is that when I run sudo mount -t vfat -U 490F-8CBC -o uid=999,gid=999,users /media/flashdrive , all the files in /media/flashdrive are owned by root, not by the "ubuntu" user. What am I doing wrong?
[19:24] <ASULutzy> DarkKnight: Well, again, I'm not sure I fully understand the problem. You're saying you have one master server that gets updates and then you want to pipe those updates down to other machines on the network? I'm not really sure, I would check rsync out, but I'm sure someone in here can give better advice
[19:24] <tux91> anybody know?
[19:25] <yoavk> Why is my wireless card (Broadcom 4311) named eth2 and not wlan0??
[19:25] <DarkKnight> ASULutzy; ya so you got my problem...
[19:25] <DarkKnight> does anyone know that
[19:25] <ScottG489> I currently have GNOME installed. How can I install KDE on this machine too so I can switch between them both to see while I like better?
[19:25] <gaintsura> wow... either I've found a reason to find a better firewall or my firewall is really just that good... kind of
[19:26] <DarkKnight> ASULutzy; someone suggested using aptoncd
[19:26] <ASULutzy> tux91: Yea, it's not too tough, just do syntax on
[19:26] <onetinsoldier> ScottG489: probably as easy as...   aptitude install kde
[19:26] <hotdog003> ScottG489: You should be able to just use sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[19:26] <tux91> ASULutzy: i did and nothing happened
[19:26] <ardchoille> ScottG489: better to install kubuntu-desktop
[19:26] <ScottG489> what is aptitude?
[19:26] <hotdog003> ScottG489: Then, when the login screen comes up, go to the 'Sessions' menu and pick GNOME or KDE
[19:26] <ScottG489> well i already have Ubuntu installed
[19:26] <gaintsura> !aptitude | ScottG
[19:27] <hotdog003> ScottG489: Aptitude is like apt-get only better. Use whichever you like, really.
[19:27] <gaintsura> !aptitude | ScottG489
[19:27] <tux91> ASULutzy: ok i got it, thank you
[19:27] <ardchoille> ScottG489: install kubuntu-desktop, that will give you the kde DE
[19:27] <ScottG489> unused dependencies?
[19:27] <ScottG489> ardchoille: already have ubuntu installed
[19:27] <mkeith> can anybody tell me how to shut my dell laptop screen off when i am using a 26" hdmi  monitor  with a VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility X1400 in ubuntu 8.10
[19:27] <unitedroad_> Pici and onetinsoldier: I am sorry I got dc
[19:27] <PS360> hey fellas
[19:27] <ardchoille> ScottG489: kubuntu-desktop (notice the "k")
[19:28] <hotdog003> ScottG489: It doesn't matter, really Aptitude or apt-get; use whichever you like. You'll want to install the kubuntu desktop package even though you already have ubuntu-desktop installed too.
[19:28] <ardchoille> ScottG489: that's if you want kde
[19:28] <gaintsura> mkeith: there is an option in the amdccc
[19:28] <onetinsoldier> unitedroad_: ahh, i see. np
[19:28] <ASULutzy> DarkKnight: Yea, I guess aptoncd could work too, but again I don't have much experience doing exactly what you're doing
where would I find that
[19:28] <thxpnp> hi all =]
[19:28] <simmerz> why does the pulseaudio init script have exit 0 after a test and before it gets to the case for stopping and starting?
[19:28] <MHz128> onetinsoldier, can tar be used to create a disk image? g4u is overkill for me
[19:28] <TABASCO> Hallo! Ich habe hier einen USB Stick auf dem früher Super Grub Disk drauf war. Jetzt habe ich Eeebuntu draufgemacht aber schaffe es nicht den Stick bootbar zu machen - wie kriege ich das hin (scheinbar sind noch im MBR die Reste der Suber Grub Disk)
[19:28] <onetinsoldier> unitedroad_: this is why it casn be good to have the problem description saved to a file! :-)
[19:29] <ScottG489> so i should go into the terminal and type "aptitude kubuntu" ?
[19:29] <ASULutzy> !de | TABASCO
[19:29] <onetinsoldier> MHz128: i would look into using the 'dd' command..   man dd
[19:29] <PS360> i am trying to find ubuntu 8.10 desktop for a ultrasparc 64bit workstation but can't find it anywhere,i keep runing into amd64 and i386 images,anyone of you fine fellas can give me a push in the right direction?
[19:29] <MHz128> onetinsoldier, 10 4
[19:29] <ardchoille> ScottG489: if you want kde: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[19:29] <gaintsura> mkeith: either from the driver for your video card (includes an app) or via envyng or similar (I use envyng, saves me time, though not supposed to)
[19:29] <TABASCO> Uh, sorry, I forgot the -de
[19:29] <actafool> hya
[19:29] <actafool> i have one problem

[19:30] <IdleSanta> actafool: ASK A QUESTION
[19:30] <yoavk> Why is my wireless card (Broadcom 4311) named eth2 and not wlan0??
[19:30] <ScottG489> ardchoille: I also cant seem to find out what my root password is.
[19:30] <IdleSanta> sorry bout the caps
[19:30] <actafool> okay i installed my nvidia drivers
[19:30] <PS360> i am trying to find ubuntu 8.10 desktop for a ultrasparc 64bit workstation but can't find it anywhere,i keep runing into amd64 and i386 images,anyone of you fine fellas can give me a push in the right direction?
[19:30] <actafool> but my screen shacking from time on time
[19:30] <ardchoille> !root | ScottG489
[19:30] <justizin> PS360: sparc was dropped from releases in march.
[19:30] <ASULutzy> !enter | actafool
[19:30] <actafool> i mean moving left and right for a second
[19:30] <PS360> oh noez!!

[19:30] <actafool> okay sorry
[19:30] <justizin> so, no 8.04 either.
[19:31] <mezquitale> anyone knows how to connect to XP using remote desktop connection from your ubuntu box?
[19:31] <mkeith> gaintsura thanks will try it i have  a function key on the keyboard it works in windows but not linux
[19:31] <actafool> its so annoyng
[19:31] <justizin> http://www.tectonic.co.za/?p=2275 there may be some promise for you to upgrade to newer packages, if they are being maintained.
[19:31] <PS360> would other distro would you installed on a 64 bit ultra sparc workstation justinzin?
[19:31] <gaintsura> mkeith: which one?
[19:31] <ASULutzy> mezquitale: Applications -> Internet -> Terminal Server Client
[19:31] <gaintsura> oh wait I know
[19:31] <justizin> mezquitale: install rdesktop, or do what ASULutzy said. :)
[19:31] <jerbear> are there any repos that have python 2.6?
[19:31] <PS360> wich other distro would you installed on a 64 bit ultra sparc workstation justinzin?
[19:31] <ScottG489> ubottu: shouldnt i be able to log into root?
[19:32] <hotdog003> ScottG489: Use 'sudo -i' to log in as root
[19:32] <hotdog003> Then type YOUR password.
[19:32] <IdleSanta> ScottG489: no! you use sudo to perform root actions
[19:32] <ASULutzy> ScottG489: You can't login as root by default in Ubuntu, use sudo, if you need a root terminal, sudo -i
[19:32] <ScottG489> ubottu: if i type su, and try to log in, even with no password it says authentication failure
[19:32] <ardchoille> ScottG489: no, logging into the root account is not necessary and can cause problems, use sudo
 function  crt/lcd
[19:32] <actafool> okay anyone know why my screen moving left and right for a second from time on time..
[19:32] <actafool> something with refreshing rate or.. idk
[19:32] <ScottG489> yes i understand how sudo works
[19:32] <ASULutzy> ScottG489: Again, the root password doesn't exist by default in Ubuntu
[19:32] <ardchoille> !sudo > ScottG489
[19:32] <yaris123456789> how do i restart apache ?
[19:32] <PS360> wich other distro would you installed on a 64 bit ultra sparc workstation justinzin?
[19:32] <acrousey> I'm stuck in a little problem. I partitioned my whole 750GB external hard drive as ext3 and now my mac won't recognize it. I'm on the mac now, but in ubuntu. I did not partition the HD on this computer though. Is there a way that I can partition half the external hard drive so that my mac can read it? I say half because i have music and other stuff on the other half. I think I want to partition the half that isn't ext3 to Fat32. That seems to be
[19:32] <mezquitale> ASULutzy, rdesktop is already installed in my machine though, I'll try that first and then try Terminal Server Client, it's not installed by default in my machine though
[19:32] <ASULutzy> ScottG489: Check /etc/shadow, you'll see that the password for root is something that is impossible to hash to
[19:33] <erwin> Any suggestions for internet radio in Hardy, withit it involving amarok, ruthmbox or mms ?
[19:33] <elmnas> hi can someone a linux emulator more than wine?
[19:33] <aime> qemu
[19:33] <MHz128> onetinsoldier, ddrescue looks like the exact thing im looking for. thanks!
[19:33] <hotdog003> acrousey: Um. Not without black magic / reinstalling ubuntu. Macs can't recognize ext3, and Linux can't run off of fat32 without problems.
[19:33] <justizin> PS360: look into nexenta, it is opensolaris built with gnu / debian / ubuntu stack, but probably also only runs on intel arch for now.  there is a bit of gnu/opensolaris community, and you may find an interesting experience there.
[19:33] <IdleSanta> elmnas: search in Synaptic
[19:33] <xand_> hi folks, i have a bare install of ubuntu server, and i would like to know what i need to install on it, in order to "ssh -X" to a openssh server. Can anyone please help ?
[19:33] <elmnas> on?
[19:33] <sonoma> MIDI audio doesn't seem to play on my old Pentium3. Other sounds are fine. Virtual Keyboard is silent. Oddly, Rhythmbox plays two notes in the middle of one of my MIDI files.
[19:33] <IdleSanta> !synaptic > elmnas
[19:33] <hotdog003> xand_: You'll want the openssh-server and openssh-client packages.
[19:34] <elmnas> that doesnt help me..
[19:34] <onetinsoldier> MHz128: ok, your're welcome. and thank you for letting me know about ddrescue. it a new one to me
[19:34] <justizin> i don't really know anything about ultrasparc, so that's the best i can tell you.
[19:34] <ScottG489> ASULutzy: so ubuntu basically protects you from logging in as root by not allowing you to do so?
[19:34] <elmnas> I wonder if someone know a emulator like wine?
[19:34] <ASULutzy> yaris123456789: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[19:34] <nbeebo> sorry for this just testing something i cant test anywhere else
[19:34] <nbeebo> !riotkittie
[19:34] <PS360> ok justizin but i was looking for a distro with a windows type feel
[19:34] <IdleSanta> elmnas: searching for yourself in synaptic for " emulator" will help you
[19:34] <nbeebo> nvm
[19:34] <PS360> ;ol
[19:34] <elmnas> ok
[19:34] <ASULutzy> ScottG489: By default, though of course if you're hellbent on logging in as root it's not difficult at all to enable a root login if you're handy with Linux
[19:34] <Komaniak> Hi!
[19:34] <nbeebo> how do i do so deluge doesnt use same ports as firefox?
[19:34] <xand_> hotdog003: i already can log in with ssh, but not forwarding X, with ssh -X..
[19:34] <acrousey> hotdog003: I just want half of the hard drive to be fat32. and my computer isn't running on that hard drive. It's just backup/storage
[19:35] <ASULutzy> ScottG489: Ubuntu is trying to instill good/smart Linux habits is all
[19:35] <justizin> hotdog003: try ssh -Y
[19:35] <CntryTrousrTrout> Hello, does anyone know why with pidgeon my friend doesn't have option to let me view their webcam? Their on windows based and using normal yahoo.
[19:35] <ScottG489> yea i know im just trying to understand
[19:35] <justizin> CntryTrousrTrout: try #pidgin

[19:35] <hotdog003> CntryTrousrTrout: I'm afraid that pidgin doesn't have webcam support.
[19:35] <ASULutzy> ScottG489: It's not like you ever need to be logged in as root, again there's sudo, and if you don't want to be inconvenienced by prefixing every command with sudo, there's sudo -i, which will give you a root terminal
[19:35] <yoavk> Airodump help: I get the output -

[19:35] <kerik> OmnipotentEntity: hey

[19:35] <ScottG489> so what is the sudo -i for then?
[19:35] <Bradj47> im back
[19:36] <actafool> deammm can anyone help ?
[19:36] <dro> mean*
[19:36] <CntryTrousrTrout> hotdog003: what can I use, kopete sux it adds like random 300 bots ect
[19:36] <ASULutzy> ScottG489: sudo -i gives you a root terminal
[19:36] <hwilde> help I just changed my theme and now my previous custom theme is GONE
[19:36] <ScottG489> ok i see. how is that different then being logged in as root?
[19:36] <hotdog003> CntryTrousrTrout: Hmm. For MSN, there's amsn. But to be honest, I'm not sure what you have for Yahoo.
[19:36] <kerik> OmnipotentEntity: I can see it working but why can't I use the graphics in appearances?
[19:36] <Bradj47> all it did was change things to a screen resolution that i never specified
[19:36] <ASULutzy> ScottG489: By default Ubuntu doesn't want people logging in graphically as root, which makes sense, because if you've logged in graphically as root, then every single thing you run will run as root, which is a bad idea
[19:36] <ardchoille> ScottG489: Please read this page, it will answer a lot of your questions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[19:36] <mezquitale> justizin, canI be logged on to the XP machine when I log in remotely or will I have to log out first???
[19:36] <ScottG489> yea im in the middle of reading that now
[19:36] <ASULutzy> ScottG489: Yes, read that link, it answers probably all your questions
[19:36] <Komaniak> It's not spam: please help me and only open this site www.komaniak.xaa.pl Thank you!

[19:41] <xand_> hi folks, i have a bare install of ubuntu server, and i would like to know what i need to install on it, in order to "ssh -X" to a openssh server. Can anyone please help ?
[19:41] <fosco__> elmnas, just clic on it
[19:41] <Finnish> nbeebo: CCC?
[19:41] <elmnas> deosnt work..
[19:42] <nbeebo> finnish no, wait ill check
[19:42] <fosco__> elmnas, you must be using gtk window decoratos
[19:42] <fosco__> change to emerald with compiz --replace -c emerald
[19:42] <elmnas> ?
[19:42] <elmnas> alt f2?
[19:42] <elmnas> and then write that?
[19:42] <CntryTrousrTrout> Does anyone know what yahoo/linux based programs support webcam?
[19:42] <fosco__> yes
[19:42] <ASULutzy> TABASCO: Try reinstalling grub?
[19:43] <Finnish> nbeebo: Please, PM me, I'm with my child so I can't be around all the time
[19:43] <elmnas> it switched and thing but the theme still the same
[19:43] <somethingorigina> Dear people's i was able to recover the data from my fakeraid 0 windows install using Ubuntu. Much <3 never give up
[19:43] <ASULutzy> xand_: openssh-server
[19:44] <fosco__> elmnas, try fusion-icon, it will allow you change these kind of things
[19:44] <ASULutzy> somethingorigina: Oh yea?
[19:44] <TABASCO> ASULutzy: Well I tried grub-install, but had no effect
[19:44] <somethingorigina> Yup, a LOT of it is corrupted but nothing i needed
[19:44] <elmnas> hmm
[19:44] <TABASCO> The point is that I have to tell the usb disk that it is bootable...
[19:44] <ASULutzy> somethingorigina: Glad to hear it, still, hopefully you learn that RAID-0 is not to be used when data loss is unacceptable ;)
[19:44] <unitedroad> I have upgraded my linux kernel from 2.6.22-14 to 2.6.24 using aptitude, this has caused some problems for me with Compiz-fusion. I now have both kernels on my system and my nvidia glx package has been upgraded from 100.14.19 to 169.12. Now the glx driver works fine my 2.6.24 kernel's nvidia module, but it fails with 2.6.22 kernel module. I need to know if I can configure different glx...
[19:44] <unitedroad> ...version to be used with my different kernels. Here my pastebins --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/91756/ - xorg.conf and http://paste.ubuntu.com/91771/ - xorg.log - I am getting this line in xorg.conf - (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)
[19:44] <elmnas> I fixed it
[19:45] <elmnas> but now the thing with the border :S
[19:45] <yoavk> Anyone? (airodump problem - Broadcom 4311 pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/91787/)
[19:45] <unitedroad> is there a way x can be told to load diferent glx drivers in different situations without having to explicitly change values by hand everytime
[19:45] <somethingorigina> ASLUtzy: Believe me good sir, Raid 0 never again! Adios all!
[19:45] <Pici> yoavk: The broadcom module may not support injection.
[19:46] <ASULutzy> TABASCO: When I read your original problem (Es tut mir leid, mein Deutsch ist nicht so gut) you said that you were attempting to install to an eeepc? There's a simple on http://www.ubuntu-eee.com/ that will do all of it for you (takes the .iso and then copies it to USB and makes the USB bootable)
[19:46] <yoavk> Pici: Aircrack's website says it does/
[19:46] <ASULutzy> yoavk: Depends on the driver you're using of course
[19:47] <TABASCO> ASULutzy: That is absolutely correct.. I already searched for something like this on their page, but I didn't found anything. Do you have a link?
[19:47] <yoavk> ASULutzy: I'm using the default STA driver
[19:47] <TABASCO> ASULutzy: Oh wait, Ubuntu-eee is different from Eeebuntu
[19:47] <ASULutzy> TABASCO: http://www.ubuntu-eee.com/ click download now, and at the very bottom there are two links (one for a Windows utility, the other for a linux)
[19:48] <xand_> ASULutzy: i want to 'ssh -x' FROM a bare install of ubuntu server, TO a openssh serverwhich is where it's supposed to have the openssh-sever
[19:48] <ASULutzy> TABASCO: Ah, I misread, I'm not sure which tutorial you followed, but I always used lilo for my live-USB setups, but it's been a while since I set one up manually since a lot of the stuff is automated now. You could just use System -> Administration ->Create USB startup disk
[19:48] <ircer> anyone have demonoid accaunt?
[19:49] <ASULutzy> TABASCO: That will automatically convert an iso into a bootable live-usb
[19:49] <ASULutzy> xand_: I misread, so do sudo apt-get install ssh
[19:49] <ASULutzy> xand_: Or do you even need to do that?
[19:49] <ASULutzy> xand_: Oh wait, you don't have X on Ubuntu Server
[19:50] <xand_> ASULutzy: yes now were talking :)
[19:50] <ASULutzy> xand_: If you want a GUI... Why did you install Ubuntu Server?
[19:50] <Flannel> xand_: You need to have xserver-xorg installed
[19:50] <ircer> how to get good font appearance in ubuntu?
[19:50] <ASULutzy> xand_: You'll need to install X, which means you ought to have installed Ubuntu instead of Ubuntu server ;)
[19:50] <mmcr> Anyone knows what version of python comes included in Intrepid ?

[19:51] <mmcr> :S
[19:51] <onetinsoldier> 2.5.2-1ubuntu1
[19:51] <DarkKnight> ASULutzy; someone suggested using aptoncd

[19:51] <TABASCO> ASULutzy: I used usb-creator for the stick - but it still does not work.
[19:52] <mmcr> It looks like I will have to compile 2.6.1
[19:52] <Flannel> mmcr: Why?
[19:52] <TABASCO> ASULutzy: Though, I already got it working, when I installed Ubuntu Eee on the stick.
[19:52] <ASULutzy> DarkKnight: You should take a look at ltsp.org
[19:52] <ASULutzy> DarkKnight: That might be a better model for what you're trying to accomplish
[19:52] <onetinsoldier> mmc: yeah.. that version is just too new for 'distributions' to be installing onto their versions of 'stable'
[19:52] <mmcr> Flannel: Because 2.5 it's not good for me.
[19:53] <mmcr> I can't use some functions that I need to.
[19:53] <actafool> how can i enable the 3D box on ubuntu
[19:53] <mmcr> I mean even under testing can be included but nothing :S
[19:53] <onetinsoldier> mmc: for instance.. you might find the version in debian 'unstable' or 'experimental' ..probably the latter
[19:53] <ASULutzy> DarkKnight: Also the last person who posted said some helpful things
[19:53] <onetinsoldier> that*

[19:53] <Flannel> mmcr: Just remember you'll have to keep 2.5 installed
[19:54] <xand_> ASULutzy, Flannel: installed xserver-xorg, still not working, complaining about no display
[19:54] <onetinsoldier> mmcr: for instance.. you might find that version in debian 'unstable' or 'experimental' ..probably the latter
[19:54] <ASULutzy> xand_: Er, right, because you need to have a display started
[19:54] <xand_> ASULutzy, Flannel: by the way got xauth installed as well
[19:54] <xand_> ASULutzy: how can i do that ?
[19:55] <hotdog003> Hey, I got a question about LiveCDs and casper. In the live environment, how come /cow is listed in /proc/mounts, but it doesn't exist?
[19:55] <actafool> ok now only one problem is now with this fucking screen ZZzzZZing..
[19:55] <Pici> actafool: Please watch your language here.
[19:55] <actafool> ok sry
[19:55] <ASULutzy> sudo get rid of Ubuntu Server and install Ubuntu :) Otherwise you can just do X
[19:56] <g0bl1n> s/a/
[19:56] <actafool> anyway can someone help meh because this is so annoyng..
[19:57] <ASULutzy> actafool: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[19:57] <onetinsoldier> actafool: have you had a look at the xset command?
[19:57] <actafool> no no i mean
[19:57] <actafool> for my screen shacking
[19:57] <ASULutzy> actafool: Then after that you can just go to system -> preferences -> compiz config settings manager, and fiddle with stuff from there
[19:57] <xand_> ASULutzy: :/
[19:57] <actafool> nope this..
[19:57] <ASULutzy> actafool: What does shaking mean? Flickering?
[19:58] <reehan> can anyone please guide me how do i get to the irc for linux kernel?
[19:58] <actafool> actually it moving left and right for a moment
[19:58] <actafool> and then is okay again
[19:58] <actafool> like a flashlight
[19:58] <xand_> ASULutzy: guess you're right..unfortunatly it can't be done on this one due to hardware restrictions..
[19:58] <xand_> ASULutzy: thank you anyway :)
[19:58] <Sanctusorium> Hey ya all.  My brother opened an email last night that sounds like it had a virus in it and Vista wont boot.  Is there anything on the ubuntu live disc that can scan the Windows install and try to fix it?
[19:59] <actafool> ?!
[19:59] <CntryTrousrTrout> mmm
[19:59] <CntryTrousrTrout> is this going to be an all day thing.. I know someone atleast knows a yes or a no
[19:59] <CntryTrousrTrout> simple as that
[19:59] <CntryTrousrTrout> Does anyone know what yahoo/linux based programs support webcam?
[20:00] <ASULutzy> Sanctusorium: Yea, there's a button that says install Ubuntu, and then you pick the option "Use entire disk"
[20:00] <onetinsoldier> actafool: sounds like it could be an Horizsync value in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file issue.. i dunno tho
[20:00] <pdtpatri1k> Hi Sanctusorium .. on the live cd u can install clamav or some other open source anti virus and scan the computer .. and other live cd that might be of help is knoppix or UBCD (ultimate boot cd)
[20:00] <Slack_> anyone here use a tv for their monitor, im trying to get audio to come out of the tv
[20:00] <Sanctusorium> pdtpatri1k  Thank you! :D
[20:01] <pdtpatri1k> ur welcome .. :)
[20:01] <actafool> idk 2 but its so annoyng
[20:01] <ASULutzy> Sanctusorium, pdtpatri1k: My solution was a permanent fix, but I suppose that'll work too
[20:01] <Abaza> Hiiii
[20:02] <pdtpatri1k> Asulutzy .. the idea is that his brother likes windows instead and its obvious he wants to stay with it if he is trying to fix it. :)
[20:02] <starcannon> Is there an ubuntu-centric irc channel about python or programming in general?
[20:02] <Deftone7> Trying to install ubuntu 8.10 by shrinking my vista volume. I was under the impression that it would just be unallocated space but the partitioner in ubuntu 8.10 doesn't recognize the unallocated space?!
[20:02] <ASULutzy> starcannon: /join #python I'm guessing ;)
[20:02] <Bodsda> starcannon, #ubuntu-programming
[20:03] <starcannon> ASULutzy yeah I have, but not quite what I'm looking for
[20:03] <Sanctusorium> ASULutzy, yeah, problem is windows wont even boot ;)  Plus, hes not going to like Linux.  xD  Even ubuntu is kinda technical for him
[20:03] <starcannon> Bodsda thanks thats what I'm looking for

[20:03] <Ghoul> is there a gui application that will help identify and setup a external monitor?

[20:04] <Ghoul> now it just duplicates the output.. see the same thing on both monitors
[20:04] <ASULutzy> Ghoul: sudo apt-get install grandr && grandr

[20:05] <ScarEye> Hey guys is there a way when I plug in my EVDO Card it will automatically sdparm that device ?
[20:05] <actafool> ok ok whats the button combinations to start this cube :)
[20:05] <Ghoul> ASULutzy: why do i add && grandr?
[20:05] <Ghoul> isn't apt-get install grandr enough?
[20:05] <ASULutzy> Ghoul: I was just saving you the time of getting it started
[20:05] <pdtpatri1k> defton7 .. ubuntu will notice the ntfs partition and u can then drag the slider to choose how much space u want to use for ubuntu partition and then afterwards it will install grub boot loader so u can dual boot :)
[20:06] <ASULutzy> yea, apt-get install grandr installs it, you can just run grandr regularly after that
[20:06] <Ghoul> ah ok, well i'm a bit new to this,, was wondering what && was doING
[20:06] <Ghoul> :)
[20:06] <masom> Hi, i'm trying to find instructions/docs on HAL, mostly about USB drives and where it's mounting them. Any pointers?

[20:06] <qcjn2> hi, i'm on a puppy live cd right now, wanted to check out de hd, of a computer. Can i reinstall ubuntu from here ?
[20:06] <Bodsda> Ghoul, <command> && <commmand> means if the first command is successfull il run the second command else il quit
[20:06] <Deftone7> pdtpatri1k: do don't shrink it? just add a new partition?
[20:06] <ardchoille> actafool: ctrl+alt+drag
[20:06] <Ghoul> thanks guys :)

[20:07] <iShock> Xubuntu 8.10, my digital camera isn't seeming to be read. Any fixes?
[20:08] <pdtpatri1k> Deftone7 .. no exit the installation and then reboot .. this time when u get the installation screen.. it will show the two partitions, one for vista which will be highlighted in orange on the left and then ubuntu on the right.. so u can then drag the slider and that would give you the percentage that would be shared between the two partitions
[20:08] <iShock> Xubuntu 8.10, my digital camera isn't seeming to be read. Any fixes?
[20:08] <pdtpatri1k> defton7 another thing you can do is used Gparted Live CD and create your ext3 partitions and then load the linux CD and use those partitions u created to install the system :)
[20:08] <wp_> what is the command for running a .run file in the terminal... found this link while searching https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingRunPackage but I need to run the program in superuser mode
[20:08] <Deftone7> the livecd doesn't recognize any partitions at all though
[20:09] <Deftone7> it's completely blank and gparted doesn't recognize it either
[20:09] <Bodsda> wp_, use           sudo <command>
[20:09] <wp_> yes... i know, but i need the command to run the .run file
[20:09] <wp_> can't find it with google
[20:09] <ASULutzy> wp_: chmod +x /the/file.run
[20:09] <ASULutzy> wp_: or alternatively do sudo sh /the/file.run
[20:10] <slavko> alguien me puede ayudar quiero comparti internet con cable cruzado entre ubuntu y windows
[20:10] <Pici> !br | slavko
[20:10] <pdtpatri1k> deftone7 yet you can boot off the drive and vista loads fine? run chkdsk -f on the drive and then chckdsk -r and then properly shutdown and then load Gparted again and see what happens
[20:10] <wp_> ASULutzy: I will try the latter one... the first one makes the .run file run in super all the time?
[20:10] <iShock> Pici: br?
[20:10] <ardchoille> !es | slavko
[20:10] <ASULutzy> wp_: No, the first one makes the file executable
[20:10] <dro> Anyone have a better recommendation for an IRC client than XChat? Preferably a client that lets you sort by room name / members in room / title...
[20:10] <Pici> iShock: I couldn't remember if argentina spoke Spanish or Portuguese.
[20:10] <ASULutzy> wp_: and is the correct way imo, make it executable and then you can just do sudo /the/file.run
[20:11] <masom> dro: irssi :)
[20:11] <iShock> Pici, so br is portuguese?
[20:11] <Deftone7> yes vista loads fine it's just when i use the livecd to run the installer i have not one partition it recognizes...will try chkdsk -f and chcdsk -r right now
[20:11] <dro> Brazil is the only country in S. America that speaks Portugese, if I remember correctly.

[20:11] <pdtpatri1k> deftone7 does it show the partitions as blank? or does it show the harddrive as blank?
[20:12] <wp_> ASULutzy the "sudo sh file.run" worked fine... had tryed making it executeable and just type the name, but did not do anything....
[20:12] <iShock> wp_: If you chmod +x file, use ./file
[20:12] <Pici> iShock: Any information in dmesg?
[20:12] <ASULutzy> wp_: Then you did it wrong

[20:15] <ASULutzy> alperyilmaz: I converted an existing and running Linux install to a RAID-1 remotely :) That was fun ;)

[20:20] <Ghoul> it's not been officially recognized
[20:21] <ASULutzy> alperyilmaz: from the wiki: Real hardware raid systems are very rare, and are almost always provided by a card such as a PCI card. Your hardware will need kernel level support in order to work with Ubuntu. You can find out if is is supported without much work by booting a Live CD. Your array should be visible as a scsi block device and, if it has existing partitions and file systems, mountable.
[20:22] <Pici> iShock: I'm sorry, something has come up at work here that I need to attend to.  You may want to re-ask the question so that someone else can take care of you.  Sorry.
[20:22] <alperyilmaz> ASULutzy: so the card is not supported, then...

[20:28] <captainm> cooldude127: if you're using gnome you should be able to go to System > Preferences > Keyboard and change it there
[20:28] <jimcooncat> ScottG489: Your Mileage May Vary, especially with flaky hardware.
[20:29] <agampher> ScottG489: if your Windoze box crashed that much, sounds like a hardware problem, especially since a week old install of Ubuntu is having the same problem
[20:29] <jimcooncat> ScottG489: Neither Ubuntu nor Windows should be crashing.
[20:29] <ScottG489> jimcooncat: Well its a new Studio 15 Laptop. Its froze multiple times in the past 24 hours
[20:29] <agampher> what he said ^
[20:29] <ScottG489> agampher: No my windows machine is on my PC. Im on a new laptop now.
[20:29] <ScottG489> PC = WIndows, Laptop = Ubuntu
[20:30] <c4pt> hello
[20:30] <c4pt> i am having a problem getting modprobe bcm43xx to work
[20:30] <c4pt> i tried depmod -a
[20:30] <c4pt> and modprobe ndiswrapper
[20:30] <c4pt> after doing ndiswrapper -i bcm.inf (the linksys wmp300n driver)
[20:30] <guntbert> !enter
[20:31] <ScottG489> Ive just gotten used to my windows machine crashing about everyday. Maybe thats because i leave it on 24/7 which is an unrealistic goal i should have for a windows machine
[20:31] <jimcooncat> ScottG489: Sorry for your troubles. Try the LiveCD and see if you have same problems to eliminate bad install and hard drive problems. If persists, get Studio 15 on the case.
[20:32] <nintendork32> !boost
[20:32] <c4pt> !bcm43xx
[20:32] <ScottG489> I cant just keep assuming its hardware problems. Ill drive myself insain. I have problems with every computer I use. No computer ive had has ever ran with even minimal problems.

[20:32] <ndlovu> hi all. I have an archos external hard drive / mp3 player, and it mounts read-only on hardy. any idea how to get it to mount rw?
[20:33] <jimcooncat> ScottG489: I had an IT manager with the same problem. He was in the wrong line of work. We all figured he was a static electricity generator, and tried to ground him.
[20:34] <ScottG489> jimcooncat: Well every computer will have to spontaneously combust as soon as I touch them before I decide to find another line of work. I still love computers.
[20:35] <ScottG489> I got KDE installed btw. Will ubuntu boot up saying its Kubuntu every time now?
[20:36] <Taranath> Hey, I was just wondering if any one knows of a guide to setting up alsa/pulseaudio on an Ubuntu Server Install. Aka Gnome'less
[20:36] <ScottG489> Like the spash screen.
[20:36] <Flare183> How can I get the option of connecting to a secure WebDAV site using "Connect to Server"?
[20:36] <MrWindex> anyone got a good site for gnome themes?
[20:36] <Tidus> Taranath: should be as easy as 'apt-get install pulseaudio
[20:37] <Tidus> MrWindex: http://www.gnome-look.org
[20:37] <GT> How would I set up a crossover connection between my laptop and my desktop, both of which have Ubuntu and the latter of which has two NICs? I have the cable; I wired it myself in computer repair class.
[20:37] <TyGRuS> hey guys, what do you use for search on ubuntu similar to the windows live search? I have found google desktop search
[20:37] <TyGRuS> is google desktop search a good one for ubuntu or is there something else?
[20:38] <Taranath> Tidus: I did that but am having some problems, No sound coming out of speakers although I was getting an output from 'pavmeter' (I think that was the name of it) when I was playing audio
[20:38] <Flare183> !desktopsearch | TyGRuS
[20:38] <TyGRuS> thanks
[20:38] <Flare183> TyGRuS: np
[20:38] <TyGRuS> you use any of those yourself?
[20:39] <Tidus> Taranath: your speakers hooked up to the correct output and you've unmuted the card with alsamixer?
[20:39] <Taranath> Yes and yes
[20:39] <Flare183> TyGRuS: Yeap, I use Tracker
[20:39] <TyGRuS> cool
[20:39] <Flare183> MrWindex: A good theme site is: http://www.gnome-look.org
[20:39] <Tidus> Taranath: and you've turned the volume up from within pulseaudio itself?
[20:40] <Taranath> How would one do that...
[20:40] <lianimator> why do skype and vlc tray icons not update the transparent part?? anyone one else see the problem?
[20:40]  * Gnea wonders why themes from www.gnome-look.org say that they install correctly, yet never show up in the theme list...
[20:40] <Tidus> Taranath: pulseaudio has its own volume control app
[20:40] <tony_> how do i change the screen resolution on the welcome screen
[20:40] <Tidus> can't remember the name....
[20:41] <agampher> ScottG489: sorry, got called away for a second
[20:41] <Taranath> Tidus: Just having a quick look for name
[20:41] <Flare183> Gnea: Its because you didn't install it correctly
[20:41] <agampher> ScottG489: i leave my windows machine (vista 64, even) on 24/7 and it doesn't crash. Perhaps there is something wrong with some software you are installing, or another setting that is causing errors?
[20:41] <onetinsoldier> Gnea: i've only installed a few themes so far. all but one has shown up for me and worked so far
[20:41] <MrWindex> what exactly are these .emerald themes?
[20:42] <ziro`_> how can i prevent a user from deleteing a folder but still write to it?
[20:42] <Flare183> !emerald | MrWindex
[20:42] <Flare183> umm
[20:42] <Flare183> !compiz | MrWindex
[20:42] <Gnea> Flare183: I went to System->Preferences->Appearance, then in the Theme tab, I clicked on the 'Install' button, selected the downloaded tar.bz2 file, and it said that it installed correctly.
[20:42] <GT> How would I set up a crossover connection between my laptop and my desktop, both of which have Ubuntu and the latter of which has two NICs? I have the cable; I wired it myself in computer repair class.
[20:42] <robinpahwa> I m having problem in playing my MP3 in totem, it says Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument - anybody has any Idea ?
[20:42] <kalel> ciao
[20:42] <Flare183> Gnea: About that, some themes must be installed manually
[20:42] <kalel> !it
[20:42] <Tidus> !restricted | robinpahwa
[20:42] <Gnea> Flare183: I see...
[20:43] <captainm> robinpahwa: have you installed ubuntu extras?
[20:43] <tony_>  how do i change the screen resolution on the welcome screen
[20:43] <Flare183> GT: Do you mean internet connection sharing?
[20:43] <ScottG489> agampher: Ive had the computer for a few years and formatted it at least 4 times. Each time its no better
[20:43] <onetinsoldier> Gnea: yes. i had one that i had to... unpack... configure it.. then repack it
[20:43] <robinpahwa> captainm: Extras means ?
[20:43] <GT> Flare183: Nope, I need to transfer files between the two devices.
[20:43] <Gnea> onetinsoldier: that won't do. they need to be configured correctly from the start.
[20:43] <vibemanslim> Has anyont ever had an issue where apache, ssh, ftp stop working 10 mins after reboot
[20:43] <Taranath> Tidus: Looked up program name and the volume is not turned down and is not muted
[20:43] <GT> Flare183: Pretty big ones.
[20:44] <agampher> ScottG489: well, i suppose that's a whole different issue. have you tried multiple distros on the laptop?
[20:44] <ScottG489> agampher: My old computer (which is now a debian server) was the same way. Before I shut it down because i was too busy with school, it had been running Debian straight for about 80 days
[20:44] <Flare183> GT: Well you still need some kind of hub in order to do that
[20:44] <Tidus> Taranath: hm... have you got the default alsa sink configured properly?
[20:44] <vibemanslim> Has anyont ever had an issue where apache, ssh, ftp stop working 10 mins after reboot
[20:44] <jimcooncat> GT, you'll need to assign static IP's; like <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:44] <Tidus> as in any program that tries to use alsa gets "sank" by pulse?
[20:44] <Tidus> that way it'll intercept the sound?
[20:44] <ScottG489> agampher: no just ubuntu for now. I eventually want to get into gentoo but I want to start on something simpler for now
[20:44] <robinpahwa> captainm: hello ???
[20:44] <GT> Flare183: Really? I thought that was pretty much what a crossover was for...
[20:45] <onetinsoldier> Gnea: it's the way the theme was made to be installed tho.. the theme has quite a number of different options... so you configure the options to the way you like, then repack it. that was explained before even downloading it
[20:45] <Flare183> !enter | Tidus
[20:45] <captainm> robinpahwa: in a terminal type: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[20:45] <tony_> fuck u people then don't help
[20:45] <Flare183> !language | tonisius
[20:45] <Flare183> oops
[20:45] <Tidus> Flare183: don't !enter me, had a reason for it
[20:45] <onetinsoldier> he's gone
[20:45] <vibemanslim> Has anyont ever had an issue where apache, ssh, ftp stop working 10 mins after reboot
[20:45] <Flare183> hehe I got his ip anyway
[20:45] <onetinsoldier> roger
[20:45] <Flare183> Tidus: Sorry
[20:46] <agampher> ScottG489: is it always failing during the same process, or is it random
[20:46] <ScottG489> I might get attacked for this, but how do I get that cool 3D box effect for changing workspaces? Is it built into ubuntu or is it some sort of add-on?
[20:46] <Taranath> Tidus: How would I know if I have got it configured correctly?
[20:46] <Flare183> !compiz | ScottG
[20:46] <ScottG489> agampher: The windows machine or the ubuntu one?
[20:46] <agampher> ScottG489: Compiz
[20:46] <agampher> ScottG489: Ubuntu
[20:46]  * Flare183 mumbles stupid tab complete
[20:46] <Tidus> Taranath: it's been so long since i've messed with pulseaudio that i'm unsure of what stuff to look for in the config file
[20:46] <guntbert> !repeat | vibemanslim
[20:46] <Taranath> Tidus: Ok, Thankyou any way. Will continue my googling.
[20:47] <Flare183> brb
[20:47] <Tidus> Flare183: that's because you've got an itchy trigger finger with the !commands
[20:47] <lianimator> icons not refreshing: http://www.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?241cff5383.png
[20:47] <GT> jimcooncat: Do I need to set anything for the gateway address?
[20:47] <robinpahwa> captainm: It needs ubuntu CD ... what if dont have it rt now
[20:47] <Tidus> Taranath: sorry i can't be of more help, i'm currently attempting to rescue my own system at the moment, lol
[20:47] <ndlovu> I asked this a bit earlier but my connection dropped before I saw an answer... I have an external usb harddrive that's mounting root writable only. any idea how to tell it (and usb drives generally) to mount user writable?
[20:47] <jimcooncat> GT, no, leave it blank if you can I believe
[20:47] <Taranath> Tidus: lol, Good luck!
[20:48] <jimcooncat> GT been a long time since I did that
[20:48] <canthus13> Anyone know why my scroll bar on my touchpad would suddenly stop working?
[20:48] <Tidus> GT: uninstall networkmanager, then apt-get install dnsmasq ipmasq
[20:48] <ScottG489> agampher: Well usually when im switching graphic areas. Off the top of my head it has frozen: Right after I increased the visual effects (though im on full visual effects now and its fine) when I tried to change to the virtual terminal, just before when I tried to switch users to try out kubuntu.
[20:49] <Tidus> make sure you have your networking config set properly in the network interfaces file, and those two programs should set up a small gateway for you
[20:49] <jimcooncat> Tidus: do you still have to uninstall networkmanager to use static IP's? I was hoping they fixed that
[20:49] <GT> Tidus: Somehow, that doesn't seem like a good idea to me.
[20:49] <canthus13> Feh. It'll be faster to just restart x.
[20:49] <Tidus> jimcooncat: you have to remove it to do any advanced networking like setting up a gateway
[20:49] <Tidus> GT: it's about the only way you could do it
[20:50] <GT> Tidus: That's the only way I can set up a crossover between two Ubuntu PCs?
[20:50] <theAdib> Hello, I have a dual monitor setup. I sthere any hotkey to move a window from one monitor to the other? I only found Ctrl+Alt+shift+right that moves the window to other DESKTOP. :-O
[20:50] <Tidus> GT: unfortunately, yes
[20:50] <ScottG489> agampher: None of these problems are persistant, they all happen randomly. The only persistant problem im having is when I change the brightness through the keyboard shortcut. I change it and the little brightness window comes up and doesnt go away, then my keyboard ceases to work. I found a temportary fix to this by going into the virtual terminal then leaving. Though I think doing this has caused the laptop to freeze at
[20:50] <ScottG489> least once.
[20:50] <Kuba> faces via gdm doesn't work for me - none avatar is shown, the list is empty (8.04)
[20:50] <GT> Tidus: Hmmm. I'm gonna try this first.
[20:50] <Tidus> GT: it's not very hard at all, just one config file (man interfaces), then install those two scripts
[20:50] <jimcooncat> GT, it's no biggie. but you don't need dnsmasq for a temporary transfer.
[20:51] <Tidus> jimcooncat: if he needs internet access or a dhcp server, he will :P
[20:51] <robinpahwa> captainm: can i install it without a cd
[20:52] <ScottG489> agampher: you still here?
[20:52] <captainm> robinpahwa: no problem. Type gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list in a terminal and type a pound (#) sign for the lign that starts with "deb cdrom" then make sure all the pound signs before the other that start with "deb" are removed and save the file
[20:52] <GT> Tidus: I don't need internet access. Both PCs have either two NICs or one NIC and a wireless connection, unless a wireless connection counts as an NIC, in which case, they both have two NICs.
[20:52] <Tidus> GT: so you're looking for a simple bridge between the two machines to transfer files?
[20:53] <GT> Tidus: Yup!
[20:53] <Tidus> are they on separate networks?
[20:53] <agampher> ScottG489: yes, but i'm having a hard time coming up with something that's not related to hardware in some way, short of actually being a bug. when i do the same thing on my machine it acts normally.
[20:53] <captainm> robinpahwa: then try the above comman again (sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras)
[20:53] <GT> Tidus: Nope.
[20:53] <c4pt> hello
[20:53] <ardchoille> I normally just plug both machines into a router and then mount one in the other, serves as a transfer bridge
[20:53] <Tidus> just use their current network connections then
[20:53] <agampher> ScottG489: drivers, perhaps, but i suppose that's a standard "i dunno" answer
[20:53] <c4pt> how can i remap eth1 to wlan0?
[20:53] <ScottG489> agampher: well like i said none of them happen consistently.
[20:53] <GT> Tidus: Well, there's some funny stuff in between the two PCs... I haven't really figured out how to do that.
[20:53] <c4pt> and how can i put my bcm43xx wireless card into mode monitor?
[20:54] <Tidus> explain 'funny stuff'
[20:54] <Kuba> did my faces-related question seem clear?
[20:54] <ConstantineXVI> Is Tkinter a decent GUI toolkit besides the part about looking ancient?
[20:54] <ScottG489> agampher: A quick question. A habbit I have gotten into from my windows machine is to just hold down the power button to turn it off when something freezes up. What kind if problems does holding down the power button create?
[20:54] <Tidus> ScottG489: it can damage your filesystems
[20:54] <agampher> ScottG489: massive chaos on a global scale
[20:54] <ScottG489> lol
[20:55] <agampher> ScottG489: seriously, what other way is there once everything dies on you?
[20:55] <ScottG489> Well what sort of problems does that create for me?
[20:55] <Tidus> ScottG489: when a single program freezes? or the whole thing hard-locks
[20:55] <c4pt> how can i remap eth1 to wlan0?
[20:55] <agampher> a hard-lock
[20:55] <Zzeiss> agampher: Well, if you can't get something like Program Manager to respond, well, yeah, you're stuck.
[20:56] <captainm> ScottG489: agampher this is a better merhod: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/reboot-or-halt-linux-system-in-emergency.html
[20:56] <ASULutzy> Do that many people not know about the vulvan nerve pinch on Linux?
[20:56] <ASULutzy> alt+sysrq+REISUB
[20:56] <ASULutzy> vulcan nerve pinch that is
[20:56] <ASULutzy> lol,
[20:56] <ScottG489> agampher: Well is there anything I can press to try to free up my system? I mean like I said before I had to hold down the power button when I was adjusting the brightness, but someone told me about the ctrl + alt + f1 thing and that helped
[20:56]  * Tidus just got thrown back into the windows 3.1 days...
[20:56] <Tidus> ASULutzy: lol... nice ... um ... misspelling
[20:56] <GT> Tidus: Well, due to a very odd layout in this house, my desktop connects to the network through a hub, which gets it's internet connection through a wireless access point, which gets its connection from the wireless router, which gets its connection from the modem.
[20:57] <ASULutzy> ScottG489: ctrl+alt+f1 sends you to tty1, where you can try and fix things, alternatively if things are really hosed up and you need a "safe" way to reboot, alt+sysrq+REISUB works
[20:57] <GT> And my laptop just picks up the wireless.
[20:57] <agampher> ScottG489: take a look at the link captainm posted, i've never seen it, but it looks interesting
