[15:22] <rkvirani> shad_: though formally it needs some work.
[15:22] <beehemoth> mine issue is simple: 1) i need to unplug/plug my usb headphones, 2) i need to run asoundconf-gtk and select headphones and 3) everyone should solve mine problem as a priority. I mean, is that really to much to ask... :)
[15:23] <rkvirani> shad_:  if you need to install svn type: apt-get install svn
[15:23] <Wunderbar> yes
[15:23] <ikonia> beehemoth: log a bug - then it will get worked on
[15:23] <beehemoth> Or do I need to join the queue of people who want their problem solved as a priority?
[15:23] <ikonia> beehemoth: or if a bug exists, put a comment
[15:23] <beehemoth> I can't hear you, it must be my usb headphones
[15:23] <aka-> beehemoth: your number 1 problem is using the word "mine" where you should be using "my"  :P
[15:23] <ikonia> beehemoth: stop messing around
[15:23] <jgonick> screen resolution question:  Each user can set their own resolution; what file is this information stored in?
[15:23] <warcall> it is disturbing
[15:23] <beehemoth> I was typing in a german accept hence the mine
[15:24] <beehemoth> or accent
[15:24] <beehemoth> lol
[15:24] <sathyrion> oh crap.. long time since i've rebooted :) I didn't have ubuntu, but Opensuse 11.1 :D lol
[15:24] <ikonia> beehemoth: I suggest you log a bug to get the problem resolved
[15:24] <ikonia> beehemoth: if a bug exists, a comment on the end with your hardware/config would probably be useful
[15:24] <beehemoth> well thanks for the help.
[15:24] <Fenix|work> oCean_, hehe any quick way of changing .profile in each home directory?  It'll help that they're all identical.
[15:24] <shad_> rkvirani, ok i will try and thanks for your help
[15:25] <oCean_> Fenix|work: I think editing the /etc/profile is the easiest way.
[15:25] <crazy_monkey> why are all my partitions called "Volume", can I rename them somewhere?
[15:25] <Fenix|work> oCean_, true... I can then modify the root user's profile to 022
[15:25]  * lasivian cautiously sees what else the kernel change has broken
[15:26] <rkvirani> shad_:  no prob
[15:26] <oCean_> Fenix|work: sure, or do something like if groupid = cvsusers, then .. etc
[15:26] <Fenix|work> oCean_, even sweeter
[15:27] <craggi> hey guys

[15:29] <raph_ael> hi, are there some people running ubuntu on the last imacs ?
[15:29] <craggi> and i changed from vista to ubuntu
[15:29] <syntax\> im unable to mount my ntfs partitions..
[15:29] <jgonick> crazy_monkey: see if this will help   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DrivesAndPartitions
[15:29] <warcall> yes
[15:29] <syntax\> what should i do?
[15:29] <warcall> what you wand
[15:29] <craggi> but i cannot use the bluetooth adapter and i googled but didnt find a solution?
[15:29] <syntax\> im using ntfs configuration tool..
[15:29] <k33ps> hi
[15:29] <raph_ael> warcall: yes for imacs ?
[15:30] <Basem>  i need program that can run voice and cam for yahoo and msn
[15:30] <warcall> mac is nod bad
[15:30] <raph_ael> well that was not exactly my point ;)
[15:31] <warcall> haha :)
[15:31] <el> kto ma zle doswiadczenia z urzedem skarbowym
[15:31] <ichat> basem -   there is none
[15:31] <tommi_> Hi guys! Is there any way to encrypt all data on your hard drive post-install? I mean after Iäve already installed Ubuntu on my computer?
[15:31] <Jim_Raynor> seriously nobody knows hot to change the notifications theme?
[15:31] <Basem> i cant run voice or cam with prople who i have on yahoo or msn?
[15:31] <n8tuserff> tommi_ -> do you really want that? or you only want your ~/  directory?
[15:32] <bhaka> How can i tell Ubuntu not to use the badsectors on my hard drive? It constantly writes my stuff on the same badsectors rendering the files written on it useless.
[15:32] <craggi> is there no solution for the bluetooth problem?
[15:32] <ichat> Basem -  only  some  apps support the  MSN  webcam feature.  but  afaik non support the  voice feature
[15:32] <n8tuserff> bhaka -> what made you so sure it writes back to those badsectors? what tools you used to verify these?
[15:33] <bhaka> n8tuserff: i delete the corrupted files and then rewrite them to my hard drive
[15:33] <Basem> what about kopote?
[15:33] <tommi_> n8tuseff: Well I suppose it's enough if I could encrypt my / directory?
[15:33] <Basem> kopete*
[15:33] <bhaka> n8tuserff: i dont know any tools to scan for badsectors
[15:33] <letalis> !kopete
[15:33] <shad_> ubottu, how to install svn
[15:33] <n8tuserff> bhaka -> ahem, and you believed writing back you konw for sure it writes to the badsectors?
[15:34] <bhaka> n8tuserff: yeah, im trailing my kern.log and i see IO errors every time
[15:34] <shad_> ubottu, using apt-get giving error couldn't find packages
[15:34] <n8tuserff> bhaka you are making claims that you are unsure of, lest you have some tools to prove it, please dont make those claims
[15:35] <ichat> Basem -  IF you try  the   amsn  package - you  MAY be able to  talk with your friends  -  trought  webcam  and the use of the  MSN  p13 (msn 7 ) protocol...   but my must use the    Send shord message  feature
[15:35] <bhaka> n8tuserff: can you recommend any tools to scan badsectors on SATA drives?
[15:35] <Kemikals> Hi
[15:35] <Dutch-Lin> hey
[15:35] <n8tuserff> bhaka -> kernel makes lots of i/o errors but it does not mean its writing on a bad sector
[15:35] <thehook> shad_: apt-get install subversion
[15:35] <Dutch-Lin> ubuntu gets better and better everytime isn't it?
[15:35] <n8tuserff> bhaka nope, i dont know of such tools, thats why i asked you if you know a tool to back up your claim
[15:36] <ichat> the  quick talk hover May or may not work -   (meaning you press a hotkey -  and releasing it will send the  voice msg  in  wav  format,   -   (like a walki talki)
[15:36] <Dutch-Lin> at first, I didn't like it, but now every piece of hardware in my laptop is supported!
[15:36] <bhaka> n8tuserff: if I play the same video file, I get IO errors on the same place in the timeline every time
[15:36] <Kemikals> any big differences between 2.6.27 and .28?
[15:36] <n8tuserff> bhaka -> dont know if badblock do such, man badblock perhaps?
[15:36] <Wunderbar> to whoever it was who recommended i use irssi as opposed to xchat, thanks for the heads up
[15:36] <ikonia> Kemikals: .28 doesn't exist in ubuntu  yet
[15:37] <ichat> Basem -  does this answer your question?
[15:37] <shad_> thehook, it again shows error
[15:37] <n8tuserff> tommi_ -> thats a lot of effort, no need to encrypt system files, only your user data and configs?
[15:37] <thehook> shad_: apt-get update
[15:37] <Kemikals> hrmm
[15:37] <n8tuserff> tommi_ -> but if you are so concerned, try the selinux perhaps?
[15:37] <Kemikals> so what happens if i still the .28 kernel haha
[15:38] <ikonia> Kemikals: then you'll know what your doing and won't need support here
[15:38] <clarkes> anyone know how to find any subtitle english for dvd?
[15:38] <Kemikals> never used linux ;p always used bsd...
[15:38] <jgonick> Anyone know?  screen resolution question:  Each user can set their own resolution; what file is this information stored in?
[15:38] <ikonia> Kemikals: that doesn't change what I said
[15:38] <Kemikals> .xinitrc?
[15:38] <ikonia> Kemikals: what abou it ?
[15:38] <ikonia> about it?
[15:39] <danbhfive> bhaka: fsck -cc might be the command.  are you still there?
[15:39] <shad_> thehook, it again shows error...http://pastebin.com/m769b8c8a
[15:39] <bhaka> danbhfive: yes, ill try it
[15:39] <danbhfive> bhaka: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/6972/
[15:40] <n8tuserff> jgonick -> am not sure, but try whats in ~/.gconf   ?
[15:40] <shad_> thehook, what should i do now?
[15:41] <jgonick> n8tuserff:  I think thats global..doesn't seem to refer to local user's preference.  thanks though..
[15:41] <ZummiG777> If I wish to configure how new user's profiles (including created directories) are instantiated, how would one do that in Ubuntu?
[15:41] <n8tuserff> tommi_ -> they have their hands on them if they were stolen from you.  perhaps not be able your data to its full extent is what you are preventing, but yeah you can encrypt your home dir.. there are tutorials out there to do this
[15:41] <thehook> apt-get update again and then apt-get install subverson and give me the output
[15:42] <thehook> shad_:
[15:42] <n8tuserff> jgonick -> its ~/.gconf  is local to each user
[15:43] <Kemikals> i thought the screen resolution was kept in .xinitrc.. dunno though last time i used X was before it was x.org lol
[15:43] <jgonick> n8tusrff: oops..you are probably correct.. I was thinking of the xorg.conf..thanks for your help..
[15:43] <Jockeo> What are the advantages/drawbacks of NetworkManager compared to WICD? Why isn't WICD default in Ubuntu?
[15:43] <Zta> Does anyone know where I can find a updated version of a package of OpenMovieEditor for Ubuntu 8.04?
[15:43] <ikonia> Zta: the ubuntu repo#s
[15:43] <danbhfive> Zta: have you checked getdeb.net?
[15:44] <Zta> ikonia, no
[15:44] <ikonia> Zta: then an offical update is not there
[15:44] <Zta> danbhfive, I will now
[15:44] <shad_> thehook, http://pastebin.com/m5995142f
[15:44] <askand> Is it possible that new memory is responsible for applications suddenly starting to quit by themself?
[15:44] <Zta> ikonia, It doesn't necessarily have to be official.
[15:44] <xaos11> Hi guys
[15:44] <ikonia> Zta: depends how much you value system stability and support
[15:44] <jgonick> n8tuserff: I'm having problems typing today:oops..you are correct.. I was thinking of the xorg.conf..thanks for your help..
[15:45] <Titan8990> askand, yes, use the memtest tool from the grub menu
[15:45] <leeping2008> Hi there, I seem to be running "trackerd" and it's taking up a ton of CPU.  This is on my Beowulf cluster's master node, so I can't restart the computer.  However, nothing I do in tracker-preferences seems to turn off trackerd.  What can I do?
[15:45] <kein> hey guys trying to set up vmware server 2.0. on ubuntu 8.10. i am getting this error:
[15:45] <Titan8990> askand, its best to test one stick at a time so remove all sticks except for the new
[15:45] <danbhfive> bm: whats up?
[15:45] <kein> None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Server is suitable for your
[15:45] <kein> running kernel.  Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module
[15:45] <kein> any ideas guys??
[15:45] <askand> Titan8990: And if it says the memory is allright, it is not the memmrys fault?
[15:45] <satansaunt> if anyone has the time i could do with some help setting up bitlbee
[15:45] <satansaunt> thanks
[15:45] <xaos11> Does anybody know why I can't install Firefox 3.0.6 from apt?! i have security repos in the sources.list, but running apt-get update and upgrade don't upgrade firefox
[15:45] <ikonia> !vmware > kein
[15:45] <n8tuserff> jgonick -> you're welcome,  hopefully you find your settings there
[15:46] <danbhfive> !pm > bm
[15:46] <ikonia> xaos11: what ubuntu version
[15:46] <Titan8990> askand, right, unless you start getting kernel panics down the road
[15:46] <oCean_> kein: chooste yes, let it build a custom module
[15:46] <askand> Titan8990: thanks
[15:46] <Zta> ikonia, I'm running a version from 2007.  Support can't get any worse.  Have you got the stuff?
[15:46] <monostone> how can I find out what repository an application is in? I need lzma for my webserver, but the repositories configured in sources.list don't include it
[15:46] <monostone> thanks?
[15:46] <shad_> thehook, http://pastebin.com/m1c6bd257
[15:47] <ikonia> Zta: what stuff
[15:47] <xaos11> ikonia: 8.10
[15:47] <Zta> ikonia, Aren't there some unofficial ubuntustudio-video repos?
[15:47] <ikonia> xaos11: xorl can you showme the output of dpkg -l | grep firefox in pasebin please
[15:47] <ikonia> Zta: ubuntu studio merged it's repo's with ubuntu
[15:47] <xaos11> ok
[15:48] <thehook> shad_: try apt-get -f install
[15:48] <Zta> ikonia, ok good to know.
[15:48] <lasivian> how can I run fsck on a usb thumbdrive?
[15:48] <danbhfive> !info lzma | monostone
[15:48] <ikonia> lasivian: same as any other disk
[15:48] <ikonia> lasivian: it treats it as a scsi disk
[15:48] <shad_> thehook, same problem
[15:48] <Titan8990> lasivian, fsck.fat32 /dev/sdxx
[15:49] <thehook> shad_: may I pm you?
[15:49] <xaos11> ikonia: http://pastebin.com/m35e15d76
[15:49] <Titan8990> lasivian, the windows scanners are typically better since its their filesystem.....
[15:49] <Zta> ikonia, since when btw?  I can't find cinelerra nor lumiera in my 8.04 repo.
[15:49] <monostone> danbhfive: thans, didn't know that
[15:49] <lasivian> ahh, then i'll use windows, thanks :)
[15:49] <ikonia> Zta: while ago - don't know exactly when
[15:49] <shad_> thehook, ok
[15:49] <Titan8990> lasivian, np
[15:49] <lasivian> I just assumed Unix was better at everything
[15:49] <ikonia> xaos11: yup, your not up to date, you are right
[15:49] <ikonia> xaos11: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[15:49] <wikkedfin> On ubuntu server how do you lock someone in their home dir~
[15:50] <wikkedfin> so they cant cd .. out of their home
[15:50] <ikonia> wikkedfin: chroot or file permissions
[15:50] <Titan8990> lasivian, not when they have reverse engineer a lot of things developed by other companies
[15:50] <ikonia> wikkedfin: although that's quite a big step to take
[15:50] <xaos11> ikonia: i did that like 10 times already :(
[15:50] <xaos11> i think it's not seeing the security repos correctly
[15:50] <xaos11> i go into synaptic and change the sources
[15:50] <shad_> thehook, ok you can
[15:50] <xaos11> to different servers
[15:51] <xaos11> make sure all the additional selections are checked for security and whatnot
[15:51] <xaos11> should i try upgrading to jaunty?
[15:51] <ikonia> xaos11: no no no no
[15:51] <Titan8990> !jaunty | xaos11
[15:51] <lasivian> Titan8990: terrible, just terrible, we must make this one world under Unix
[15:51] <ikonia> xaos11: why would that be a solution for firefox not picking up in 8.10
[15:51] <Titan8990> lasivian, I agree
[15:51] <wikkedfin> i take it. its not easy to lock them in home?
[15:51] <xaos11> i don't know :(
[15:51] <ikonia> wikkedfin: depends on the technique, quite easy, but quite a big step to take
[15:52] <Titan8990> lasivian, you may actually be able to reformat your usb drive to ext3, i have never tried it personally
[15:52] <Zta> I wonder if it's worth upgrading to 9.04 in order to get the latest packages.  Or perhaps I should stick with my rock stable 8.04 and simply install all the necessary -dev packages and compile the tarballs myself.  On the other than, 8.04 dev packages might be out of date.
[15:52] <kitche> wikkedfin: use rbash for their shell
[15:52] <ikonia> Zta: no - it's not stable
[15:52] <xaos11> ikonia : i can run the firefox tar.gz but i want it to be actually installed so i can use my plugins and not have to copy them
[15:52] <wikkedfin> rbash?
[15:52] <dad> hi!! I have display problems with an Nvidia 9400GT under Interpid... (low-resolution)... any chance this might be solved with Jaunty?
[15:52] <ikonia> xaos11: firefox.tar.hz ???? what are you doing.... don't mess with stuff like that
[15:52] <leeping2008> Hi there, I seem to be running "trackerd" and it's taking up a ton of CPU.  This is on my Beowulf cluster's master node, so I can't restart the computer.  However, nothing I do in tracker-preferences seems to turn off trackerd.  What can I do?
[15:52] <ikonia> xaos11: you'll break your package manager
[15:52] <sifo> hello all
[15:52] <Mactus> Can anyone assist with configuring the restricted NVIDIA Driver to operate correctly?  All I get is a 1px line across the top of a "blank" screen...
[15:53] <kitche> wikkedfin: yes it means restricted bash it locks users in their home directory among other things
[15:53] <xaos11> ikonea: no you can just run the firefox binary right from the tar.gz
[15:53] <xaos11> no harm done
[15:53] <Zta> ikonia, even 8.10 seems to have a very outdated version of OpenMovieEditor.  I'll try building myself then.
[15:53] <xaos11> i just dont want to have to run it from the folder
[15:53] <wikkedfin> but i have read ppl who knwowhat their doing can break out of rbash in 15 sec?
[15:53] <badserii> Hi! is it possible from bash to have a query after -e , but to have a table view, like in MySQL?
[15:53] <sifo> can u help me.i cant use my compiz in kde 4
[15:53] <Zta> ok, and getdeb didn't have one either (at all).  It did have a new Rosegarden, though.
[15:53] <ikonia> xaos11: your using 3rd party built libraries that may or may not conflict on witht he installed versions,
[15:53] <xaos11> dad: did you install nvidia drivers?
[15:54] <dad> Mactus: what Nvidia board?
[15:54] <Mactus> It is a builtin on the motherboard...
[15:54] <Mactus> It belongs to my son, so I didn't have an option.
[15:55] <xaos11> ikonia : ? I don't know of any 3rd party drivers i have installed... i'm going to try to force upgrade somehow
[15:55] <ikonia> xaos11: I didnt ssay driver
[15:55] <ikonia> xaos11: I said you are using 3rd party built libraries from the tar file, which may or may not conflict with the ones installed on your system
[15:55] <Pici> xaos11: What version of Firefox are you running now?
[15:55] <ikonia> xaos11: you need to stop looking for how to "rush" or "cheat" a fix and look at whay your on firefox 3.0.5 rather than 3.0.6
[15:55] <xaos11> ikonea: i had the problem before i tried the tar.gz. i dint configure make install. 3.0.5
[15:56] <ikonia> xaos11: the 3.0.5 package is from the ubuntu repo's yes/no ?
[15:56] <xaos11> yes
[15:56] <ikonia> xaos11: right - so remove the tar.gz and forget about that
[15:56] <xaos11> i tried to force a different version
[15:56] <xaos11> i know
[15:56] <ikonia> you know what ?
[15:56] <kri113>  /set COLOUR
[15:56] <xaos11> but no newer version was available
[15:57] <ikonia> xaos11: `your not making any sense
[15:57] <Pici> xaos11: 'force'? how?
[15:57] <xaos11> ikonea: in synaptic
[15:57] <anonusing> can someone please help me to get compiz to work? i've looked online already :/
[15:57] <kitche> firefox 3.0.6 is out on ubuntu it seems they just released the security advisory on it
[15:57] <ikonia> how do you force a newer version in synaptic
[15:57] <xaos11> ikonea select package, click package menu at top, select force package
[15:58] <Wizzup> anonusing: What are you exactly trying to do, apart from 'getting compiz to work'?
[15:58] <degrit> 'allo
[15:58] <ikonia> xaos11: but you said you can't see the 3.0.6 package - so how can you click it
[15:58] <Seito> hi everyone! coud anyone help me with making USB verstion of Ubuntu (for future installation on EEE Pc)?
[15:58] <xaos11> i said i tried to see if it was there
[15:58] <xaos11> i meant
[15:58] <Wizzup> Seito: Aren't there any tutorials?
[15:58] <anonusing> wizzup, just none of the effects are working. specifically i'm trying to make my windows transparent
[15:58] <dbrinegar> Seito, look into Unetbootin
[15:58] <Wizzup> anonusing: Is it running?
[15:58] <binko> IS it possible to play windows games on ubuntu
[15:58] <Wizzup> ps xua | grep compiz (see what that gives)
[15:58] <ikonia> xaos11: I'm sorry, you're not making any sense, I can't gather what state your current system is in
[15:59] <Kemikals> cedega or wine binko
[15:59] <anonusing> wizzup, yes. i was able to get it to work before.
[15:59] <Wizzup> binko: Yes, some are playable using WINE
[15:59] <Pici> xaos11: 3.0.6 was just released to the repositories recently. It may not have mirrored to your particular mirror yet.
[15:59] <Wizzup> anonusing: Do you have ccsm?
[15:59] <anonusing> wizzup, i had the cube working before but now nothing is working
[15:59] <xaos11> Pici: thanks, i will try different mirrors
[15:59] <ikonia> xaos11: no -
[15:59] <Wizzup> CompixConfig Settings Manager*
[15:59] <ikonia> xaos11: stop changing things
[15:59] <xaos11> ?
[15:59] <Wizzup> Compiz*
[15:59] <ikonia> xaos11: just wait
[15:59] <Pici> xaos11: Why do you need the latest Firefox point release?
[15:59] <ikonia> xaos11: do you need 3.0.6 now now no wnow now now that bad, is it life or death
[15:59] <ikonia> xaos11: your doing more harm messing around
[15:59] <anonusing> wizzup, yes, it shows in my prefrences
[16:00] <Wizzup> You might have not enabled the effect, and try and see if compiz is running (stupid question, I think)
[16:00] <Wizzup> anonusing: And is the desktop cube on?
[16:00] <xaos11> security reasons?
[16:00] <ikonia> xaos11: oh coem on
[16:00] <Pici> xaos11: Such as?
[16:00] <xaos11> i don't know... nevermind
[16:00] <degrit> Q if I may : I believe I used to be able to assign a different wallpaper to each virtual desktop in the past - is it still possible? I can't seem to find any relevant settings
[16:00] <anonusing> yes, certain things like that and wobbly are checked to see if it's working but those effects aren't working.
[16:00] <ikonia> xaos11: you want it urgentl, but you don't know why, and your willing to potentially break your system to get it
[16:00] <Wizzup> none of them? anonusing
[16:00] <Wizzup> Then run compiz, and see if it works
[16:01] <Mactus> dad: I can bypass the NVIDIA driver in recovery mode, but I would rather get it working properly so he can have better than 800x600 resolution.
[16:01] <Wizzup> I am not sure what the command is, compiz --replace ?
[16:01] <xaos11> ok, i just wasnt sure how important the upgrade was
[16:01] <Seito> Wizzup - I've found some manuals (and even tried to use included in 8.10 software for creating USB disk), but finally it shows only two lines (first one is SYSLINUX bla-bla-bla and the second - "boot")and nothing else
[16:01] <ikonia> xaos11: the upgrade will be offered to you via the package manager when it is available on your repo
[16:01] <xaos11> you could install the compiz-icon it would be easeir
[16:02] <Wizzup> anonusing: Try what xaos11 said, the icon is useful
[16:02] <anonusing> wizzup, whenever i did that it crashed my system or something... i installed anything to do with compiz from add apps
[16:02] <xaos11> ok i just read that it was already out for intrepid so i thought something might have been wrong with apt.. like a pgp key or something
[16:02] <Wizzup> anonusing: I take it you have the correct drivers installed?
[16:02] <ikonia> xaos11: maybe good to ask before messing around with tar files, changing repo's etc etc
[16:02] <xaos11> ikonia :kthx
[16:02] <anonusing> wizzup, yes i downloaded that. when i put compiz --replace, it:s the common problem of the windows disapearing but other things stop working too. i have to log out then.
[16:03] <Wizzup> anonusing: then compiz isn't starting correctly
[16:03] <xaos11> what graphics card you have?
[16:03] <Wizzup> Nvidia or ATI?
[16:03] <anonusing> wizzup, i believe i have the correct drivers... i went through every turorial i could find... ATI
[16:03] <xaos11> i can run compiz fine on my thinkpad which i think just has intel graphics
[16:03] <xaos11> so it should run
[16:03] <Wizzup> I don't have alot of experience with ATI. My Nvidia sort of worked out of the box, though
[16:04] <anonusing> brb
[16:04] <Wizzup> anonusing:
[16:04] <anonusing> ya?
[16:04] <Wizzup> glxinfo | grep direct
[16:04] <anonusing> type that into terminal?
[16:04] <Wizzup> Is direct rendering on?
[16:04] <Wizzup> Yes
[16:04] <lasivian> ok, I backpedaled to kernel 27-7, can I safely remove 27-9 and 27-11 kernels (I only have an 8gb hd)
[16:04] <xaos11> oh yea... i hated trying to get compiz working back in the day... all that compoziting stuff
[16:04] <anonusing> wizzup, it says error bad request
[16:04] <Mal3ko> guys is there way to find out the installation date of ubuntu?
[16:05] <Wizzup> Really? ...
[16:05] <anonusing> anon@anon-pc:~$ glxinfo | grep direct
[16:05] <anonusing> X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)

[16:05] <kitche> !paste | anonusing
[16:05] <Wizzup> Don't paste so much lines
[16:05] <anonusing> sorry
[16:05] <lasivian> Mal3ko: you mean you want to knowwhen you first built the OS?
[16:06] <Mal3ko> lasivian: yep
[16:06] <Wizzup> Anyway anonusing, I don't know much about ATI, it might be a diffent command
[16:06] <Wizzup> Sorry
[16:06] <lasivian> Mal3ko: i'm a newbie, but I would do ls -l in the root directory and look at the directory dates
[16:06] <anonusing> ok. thanks anyways
[16:06] <fixman> psybnc rocks!
[16:06] <lasivian> Mal3ko: svr and var seem to match when I built this machine
[16:07] <tame> When I run a command in terminal, i get "protocol not specified, cannot open display" what gives?
[16:07] <Sarteck_Stalker> Hi, how do I connect to the Rizon server?
[16:08] <lfaraone> Hi, I have a computrace GPS module in my laptop, is there any way to use that in Ubuntu?
[16:08]  * fixman linux rocks!
[16:08] <lfaraone> Sarteck_Stalker: /connect irc.rizon.net
[16:08] <lfaraone> fixman: really now.
[16:08] <fixman> yeeeeeeeeeeee
[16:08] <xaos11> lol
[16:08] <xaos11> anyone use BOINC?
[16:09] <tame> this channel is retarded.. more than 1400 nicks and you dont use conference mode?
[16:09] <bOiNk_> i just tried to upgrade from feisty to gutsy... unfortunately the update process searches for packets in a not existing packet-directory (http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/)
[16:09] <bOiNk_> is there any other way to update ?
[16:09] <xaos11> backup and reinstall
[16:09] <Sarteck_Stalker>  did not work...
[16:10] <xaos11> copy homedir
[16:10] <daredevilthere> Hey How do i install build-essential without internet
[16:10] <xaos11> it should be on the cd
[16:10] <xaos11> set the repo in synaptic to only use cd
[16:10] <Sarteck_Stalker> It told me that only network staff could use that command
[16:10] <xaos11> and sudo apt-get install build-essential
[16:10] <daredevilthere> xaos11: Is build-essential on cd
[16:10] <lfaraone> Sarteck_Stalker: what client are you running?
[16:10] <lfaraone> daredevilthere: Yes.
[16:10] <Sarteck_Stalker> XChat
[16:10] <xaos11> daredevilthere : i believe so, i've done it before
[16:11] <daredevilthere> lfaraone: but i cant find it out
[16:11] <xaos11> just set in synaptic to only use cd
[16:11] <lfaraone> daredevilthere: what xaos11 said
[16:11] <lfaraone> Sarteck_Stalker: No idea. maybe /network?
[16:11] <Bodsda> can someone pastebin the output of   ls -lah /home     so i can check permission defaults please
[16:11] <daredevilthere> lfaraone: ya i know abt sudo apt-get install build-essential but that requires internet
[16:11] <xaos11> not it
[16:11] <Jockeo> Did user "bm" send PM's to you people some minutes ago?
[16:11] <anonusing> acutally i might not have an ati graphics card after all. that's what the manufactures website for my computer says but, i'm thinking now i might have a different version somehow http://paste.ubuntu.com/116906/plain/
[16:12] <Wunderbar> btlbee help
[16:12] <xaos11> daredevilthere: if you only have it set to use cd it does not require internets
[16:12] <Wunderbar> please
[16:12] <lasivian> ok, I backpedaled to kernel 27-7, can I safely remove 27-9 and 27-11 kernels (I only have an 8gb hd) if yes, what is the best way to do that?
[16:12] <BobDH> Is there any posibility of obtaining a linux driver for the Creative X-Fi sound card. I am aware that Creative has abandoned its development.
[16:12] <xaos11> daredevilthere: go into synaptic, repositories, make sure it is only set to cd. it will work
[16:12] <ikonia> lasivian: sure
[16:12] <G-Bleezy> lasivian: use Synaptic package remove to remove them
[16:13] <daredevilthere> xaos11: If i set to use only cd would apt-get installs frm internet
[16:13] <ikonia> BobDH: I've always had / seen very poor results with the driver, but someone in here the other day claimed to have it working %100
[16:13] <ikonia> BobDH: there is a module in ther kernel
[16:13] <xaos11> daredevilthere: no it would not require internet
[16:13] <lasivian> now should I remove linux-generic? or just the specific packages with names that include those kernel versions?
[16:13] <ikonia> lasivian: no
[16:13] <ikonia> lasivian: speific only
[16:13] <lasivian> good, glad I asked :)
[16:13] <lasivian> thank you
[16:14] <Tekno-> hello
[16:14] <xaos11> daredevilthere: just select the cdrom in the synaptic repository menu
[16:14] <xaos11> and then try to install it
[16:14] <anonusing> can someone please tell me what kind of graphics card this is so i can get my ubuntu working? http://paste.ubuntu.com/116906/plain/ is it "Integrated Graphics Controller"?
[16:14] <Tenebreux> as anyone found a solution for the wifi car driver on MSi wind
[16:14] <Tekno-> I have problem with firefox. It does not load totem-mozilla plugin. Any ideas ?
[16:14] <xaos11> intel onboard graphics
[16:14] <Tenebreux> because the one you can download works just one time
[16:14] <ikonia> anonusing: intel
[16:14] <anonusing> thanks
[16:15] <xaos11> sometimes work, sometimes don't
[16:15] <anonusing> for some reason the website for my model says ati
[16:15] <daredevilthere> xaos11: alrite thanks buddy.How can  i check what pakages are present on cd
[16:15] <anonusing> it was working earlier today
[16:15] <vignesh> hello. i have a doubt in shell script. i want to compile a C program and store the result of compilation in a variable. how do i do that?
[16:15] <lfaraone> daredevilthere: why you no can has internet?
[16:16] <erUSUL> vignesh: you want a shell variable to hold binary data? no string nor anumber...?
[16:16] <xaos11> daredevilthere : i'm not sure, try browzing the cd
[16:16] <vignesh> erUSUL, what do you mean by binary data?
[16:16] <daredevilthere> lfaraone: i want to compile modem
[16:16] <vignesh> erUSUL, i want to do something like op=`gcc temp.c`
[16:16] <vignesh> erUSUL, but that doesnt work
[16:17] <erUSUL> vignesh: the result of the compilation is an object file or an executable file...
[16:17] <vignesh> erUSUL, by result i meant the text which appears after compilation. i mean the error messages
[16:17] <erUSUL> vignesh: or are you refering to the compiler warnings errors etc ??
[16:17] <dad_> can anyone tell me if I must choose the framebuffer option or not, when dpkg xserver-xorg?
[16:17] <vignesh> erUSUL, yeshttp://start.ubuntu.com/8.10/
[16:17] <vignesh> erUSUL, yes i mean the error messages
[16:18] <erUSUL> vignesh: maybe someone in #bash knows
[16:19] <ikonia> dad_: shoulnd't need it
[16:19] <vignesh> erUSUL, thanks
[16:19] <Travis-42> how can I tell synaptic to use intrepid-proposed for a single package, but not for all others?
[16:19] <jedi06> how do you make sure ubuntu is utilizing all of my 4gb of ram?
[16:20] <erUSUL> jedi06: see what "free" says
[16:20] <daredevilthere> xaos11: thanks
[16:20] <xaos11> Travis-42 use force package. select package, click package on the top synaptic menu, select force package
[16:20] <ikonia> jedi06: do you have a 64bit OS / CPU ?
[16:20] <Travis-42> thanks xaos11!
[16:20] <ikonia> xaos11: force pakage does not force  a specific version
[16:21] <premamotion2> Thanks for existing, Ubuntu!
[16:21] <xaos11> ikonia: oh well it did for me when i need it to work
[16:21] <Tenebreux> they should at least write some drivers
[16:21] <jedi06> yes i have x64
[16:21] <daredevilthere> how do u i change synptic options frm terminal
[16:21] <ikonia> Tenebreux: who should, and for what
[16:21] <ikonia> jedi06: then you are using 4GB of ram fine
[16:21] <xaos11> daredevilthere: what optioin?
[16:22] <z0d14k> Anybody know if there is a way to reload iscsitarget after editing ietd.conf to export new targets without taking down existing targets?
[16:22] <Tenebreux> ikonia: i meant ubuntu should write drivers for the most current hardware
[16:22] <Guantanamo> if you move something from one directory to another (on the darddrive) during a live-session, does it move in reality or just for that live-session?
[16:22] <xaos11> a LOT more than windoze
[16:23] <Tenebreux> 'cause i'm desperate with the wifi on MSi wind
[16:23] <ikonia> Tenebreux: ubuntu doesn't write drivers, it's part of the linux kernel, and most modern hardware is supported
[16:23] <ikonia> xaos11: it's called "windows"
[16:23] <xaos11> lol
[16:23] <xaos11> it's not a misspelling...
[16:23] <mpalatnik> argh.. did a firefox upgrade anow getting ASSERT: *** Search: _installLocation: engine has no file!
[16:23] <ikonia> Tenebreux: contact MSI and ask them to open the speicification for the wifi card so people can write drivers, or provide one for you
[16:23] <mpalatnik> can't' browse anywhere at all
[16:23] <ikonia> xaos11: then spell it correctly in future please - windoze is not "cool"
[16:23] <xaos11> mpalatnik restart firefox?
[16:23] <mpalatnik> i did
[16:24] <matrix_> hey guys this question has nothing to do with linux just wondering something whats the diffrent betwen the word role model and role model up top
[16:24] <xaos11> ikonia: of course its not cool its LAME lol
[16:24] <ikonia> matrix_: do'nt ask it then
[16:24] <ikonia> xaos11: so please don't
[16:24] <mpalatnik> there it goes, nevermind you were right
[16:24] <Tenebreux> ikonia: people wrote drivers But with routine mistakes :(
[16:24] <mpalatnik> thanks xaos11
[16:24] <ikonia> Tenebreux: so complain to MSI - not us
[16:24] <the_edge> hello! Anyone know how to start pidgin in another language? I would like to start pidgin in french (and only pidgin). I tried "LANG=fr_CA.UTF-8 pidgin" in the terminal without success.
[16:24] <the_rainbow> hello everybody, anybody knows a simple way to share my internet connection with a Windows XP PC? I'm using a crossover cable
[16:24] <Tenebreux> so that the hardware disappears when U reboot
[16:24] <xaos11> mpalatnik yeah it happened to me a few times
[16:25] <G-Blunted> what is a crossover cable?
[16:25] <lfaraone> G-Blunted: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossover_cable
[16:25] <G-Blunted> just eithernet connection?
[16:25] <lfaraone> G-Blunted: No, it isn't. Read the wikipage.
[16:25] <xaos11> you can have my extra network switch
[16:25] <G-Blunted> yes sir
 It's an ethernet cable that I'm using to link the 2 PCs without having to get a router or switch
[16:26] <lfaraone> the_rainbow: I used http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu%20router when I needed to do that.
[16:26] <daredevilthere> Hey any idea how do i set up usb modem
[16:26] <G-Blunted> oh...so it is an eithernet connection...hmm..
[16:26] <xaos11> use letmegooglethatforyou.com
[16:26] <lfaraone> xaos11: That's being mean.
[16:27] <ikonia> xaos11: careful what you recommend, that advice could be offered to you next time
[16:27] <xaos11> ifarone: sorry, i'm a redditor
[16:27] <xaos11> i always google first
[16:27] <lfaraone> the_rainbow: the first link is the one you want.
[16:28] <lfaraone> xaos11: I do too. We just try to be nice to new users in #Ubuntu.
[16:28] <lfaraone> :)
[16:28] <the_rainbow> thanks man
[16:28] <xaos11> ^_^
[16:28] <xaos11> hey dad!!!
[16:28] <xaos11> hows that video card resolution going?
[16:28] <satansaunt> ;3~
[16:28] <daredevilthere> How do i set up eagle usb modem
[16:29] <xaos11> no ethernet port on the modem?
[16:29] <pewtas> Hi All
[16:29] <lfaraone> daredevilthere: another google link: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UsbAdslModem
[16:29] <pewtas> I have a technical problem with this Ubuntu pc.
[16:29] <kernel> Hi
[16:29] <lfaraone> pewtas: Just state your problem, don't ask to ask.
[16:29] <dad> xaos11: says that the 177 drivers is activated but not used... and still a problem of screen resolution (800x600)
[16:30]  * fixman linux rocks!
[16:30] <dad> so... not too good :-(
[16:30] <lfaraone> xorl: btw, it's easier to talk to someone when you prepend their nick to your message.
[16:30] <lfaraone> fixman: Yes, we know.
[16:30] <daredevilthere> lfaraone: that link is empty
[16:30] <bOiNk_> i want to update from feisty to gutsy and really want to use the update feature - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades <--- says to change sources to "old-releases...." - but the update proess then demands files from gutsy repos which isn't available on old-releases
[16:30] <ikonia> filip: you've said that - please stop
[16:30] <lfaraone> * xaos11
[16:30] <lfaraone> xorl: sorry, bad autotab
[16:30] <jackmayol> hi guys
[16:30] <bOiNk_> this seems very weird to me, pls help
[16:30] <lfaraone> daredevilthere: No it's not, it redirects to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbAdslModem
[16:30] <lfaraone> !helpme \ bOiNk_
[16:31] <lfaraone> !helpme | bOiNk_
[16:31] <dad> xaos11: http://pastebin.com/f64b5d280
[16:31] <pewtas> Well my pc has a 1 Terabyte HDD (actually 2 x 500 GB HDDs). My system is telling me that I've only got 3.2GB of space left.
[16:31] <xaos11> dad: unknown nvidia chipset... what motherboard do you have?
[16:31] <lfaraone> bOiNk_: is that *all* tghat's in your apt soruces list?
[16:31] <xaos11> pewtas: use disk usage analyzer, in the applications, accecories menu
[16:31] <jackmayol> I messed up my /etc/fstab, with all the same mounting names.... (cant remember doing something that stupid but anyway...) those are ntfs partitions, I'd like to know which one contains what to give them the appropriate name (games, music, etc...)
[16:31] <pike_> pewtas: kdirstat is a handy tool.
[16:32] <dad> ECS or something... with an integrated NVIDIA chipset and a 9400GT PCI-Xpress
[16:32] <pike_> jackmayol: sudo fdisk -l and also the mount command
[16:32] <dad> the PCI Xpress is the one I use
[16:33] <pewtas> Hi pike_ please explain what you mean { I'm a beginner }
[16:33] <bOiNk_> lfaraone: i took the original sources.list (never touched it before) and changed the archives - subdomain to old-releases
[16:33] <jackmayol> pike_ I did already the fdisk -l but I have just theblocks size, but for 2 partitions, I dont know which is what
[16:33] <xaos11> dad: ok, well when you go to system>administration>hardware drivers what does it say?
[16:33] <pike_> pewtas: install kdirstat from the package manager it will basically give you a graphical representation of hard disk usage and evel allows you to delete stuff from within it
[16:33] <lfaraone> bOiNk_: please back up your current list and replace it completely wiht the one on the wiki
[16:34] <pike_> pewtas: could also be a file system problem though
[16:34] <dad> xaos11: I had a look at my BIOS, to see if I had to desactivate the integrated Nvidia... did not find anything
[16:34] <dad> it seems it is disabled when the Xpress is in use
[16:35] <xaos11> dad: thats what i was wondering...  did you go to the hardware drivers thing?
[16:35] <bOiNk_> lfaraone: ok, i'll try, but i still don't think that this is gonna solve the problem, since the update process demands files from [...]/dists/gutsy/ which isn't in the old-releases branch
[16:36] <daredevilthere> Hey whn i recompile kernel i get space problem how to resolve it
[16:36] <morph> hello
[16:36] <morph> can help me
[16:36] <G-Blunted> !justask | morph
[16:36] <morph> min-value=0 --max-value=1 --value=1 --step 0.1
[16:36] <xaos11> daredevilthere: why do you need to recompile kernel?
[16:37] <morph> step make no option
[16:37] <daredevilthere> xaos11: Its my assignment :)
[16:37] <morph> it go only whit 1
[16:37] <xaos11> daredevilthere: if you don't have enough free space, use the disk usage analyzer, in the applications menu, under accessoires
[16:37] <erUSUL> daredevilthere: just remove unused stuff to make room
[16:38] <xaos11> or that
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> xaos11: sudo apt-get clean
[16:38] <dad> xaos11: i had the 177 driver acticvated but not in use...
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> xaos11: or try deborphan
[16:38] <daredevilthere> xaos11: but i compiled it before on 4gb it was working
[16:38] <haptiK> whould someone help me change -rwxr--r-- to -rwxrw-r--
[16:38] <pewtas> okay... I installed and ran kdirstat ... it does not show me any extra used space
[16:38] <daredevilthere> xaos11: i formatted and reinstalled ubuntu now whn i compile it takes tso much space i dont knw why
[16:39] <dad> xaos11: I have tried to use the 173 driver., but I can not start GDM with this one, I am under irssi now
[16:39] <erUSUL> haptiK: chmod g+w file
[16:39] <haptiK> ahh cheers
[16:39] <xaos11> dad: i have no idea what either 173 or irssi are
[16:39] <dad> .sorry...
[16:39] <lupuscaoticusT> hallo
[16:40] <xaos11> daredevilthere: maybe it's the newer distro takeing up space. if you need to recompile, you could install the ubuntu server
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> dad: what video card do you have?
[16:40] <xaos11> but you would have to do all command line and ncurses
[16:40] <dad> xaos11: the restricted drivers offer me 2 options: driver 173;XX or dricver 177.xx
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> xaos11: its the nvidia driver...nvidia-glx-173
[16:40] <daredevilthere> xaos11: ya i did
[16:40] <Razorarc> haptik: chmod 764 filename
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> dad: run lspci| grep -i VGA
[16:40] <pewtas> I was advised from ##beginners-help forum that maybe I'd get help in  this forum.
[16:40] <xaos11> dad: ok... so you're using the 177?
[16:40] <dad> ActionParsnip: I have a Point of View NvidiaGF9400GT
[16:41] <daredevilthere> xaos11: i compiled same kernel on ubuntu before and now whn i reinstalled ubuntu again dont knw whts wrong
[16:41] <xaos11> daredevilthere: well you cant use the disk usage analyzer from command line.... if only you had a few more gb
[16:41] <dad> the 173 does not allow even GDM to start
[16:41] <xaos11> daredevilthere: same distro? what distro?
[16:41] <dad> the 177 only allows low resolution 800x600
[16:41] <xaos11> that's weird
[16:42] <daredevilthere> xaos11: on ubuntu 8.04
[16:42] <xaos11> dad: and nothing in the bios that looks like it would help
[16:42] <dad> I have already tried the 180.22 with the nvidia run file, but I could not comile it
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> dad: sudo apt-get --reinstall install nvidia-glx-177
[16:42] <dad> xaos11: like?
[16:42] <daredevilthere> xaos11: i am using the same steps just like before
[16:42] <xaos11> dad: try the nvidia run file, and tell me what errors you get
[16:43] <anonusing> can some people help me acquire drivers for intel integrated graphics card for compiz, or otherwise get compiz to work?
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> dad: then sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> anonusing: lspci | grep -i vga
[16:43] <anonusing> ok
[16:43] <xaos11> daredevilthere: i don't know :( check your home directory and the temp directories and remove anything unnessecary. also try to clear the apt cache

[16:44] <daredevilthere> xaos11: ya i did everything i have 4 gb free space but still .. it uses so much space
[16:44] <xaos11> dad: i've used the nvidia run file before and had to install additional stuff to get it to work
[16:44] <xaos11> daredevilthere: what error you get when trying to compile?
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> xaos11: he's gone

[16:45] <Droopsta915> Why does my rhythm box music player, say (The folder contents could not be displayed, operation not supported.) I'm trying to import a music folder.
[16:45] <xaos11> daredevilthere: i guess you would go and delete it manually?
[16:45] <erUSUL> daredevilthere: make clean or to even remove .config do make mrproper
[16:46] <xaos11> daredevilthere... you should probably deselect some modules? free up some space on the compile
[16:46] <daredevilthere> erUSUL: wht does mrproper do ?
[16:46] <erUSUL> daredevilthere: remove everything but the sources
[16:47] <erUSUL> daredevilthere: may object tree here weights 220 MB only... how come you get 4GB ??

[16:47] <dad> xaos11: look at this http://pastebinit.com/f2580410b
[16:48] <ActionParsnip> anonusing: you can use the data there to add to your xorg.conf
[16:48] <ActionParsnip> anonusing: it uses the intel driver which is part of a default install
[16:48] <anonusing> actionparsnip, ok thanks! i will try it!

[16:49] <anonusing> actionparsnip, ok
[16:49] <ActionParsnip> anonusing: if you dont get a boot, boot to recovery mode and fix x server
[16:49] <xaos11> dad: you did the dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[16:49] <anonusing> ok
[16:49] <anonusing> actionpasnip, what did you search for to find those links btw?
[16:50] <dad> xaos11: http://pastebin.com/f2580410b
[16:50] <dad> should work
[16:50] <erUSUL> daredevilthere: that does not make sense... i should not take more than 1GB in total assuming you build all modules...
[16:50] <xaos11> now it does
[16:51] <daredevilthere> erUSUL: really il do it again
[16:51] <xaos11> dad: you tried running the nvidia kernal compile? that should work if this doesnt
[16:51] <daredevilthere> erUSUL: Well do u know wht does make mrproper for?
[16:51] <erUSUL> daredevilthere: i told you before remove everything but the source code
[16:52] <xaos11> dad: it failed to load the kernel module, so either the module you downloaded doesnt match the kernel or is corrupted
[16:52] <xaos11> AFK
[16:52] <dad> xaos11: now I am back under X, low resolution

[16:58] <celdridge> Can someone help to shed some light on this issue.  This week I have had 2 external disks just go blank.  Both still showed having like 9gb of data on them using gparted, but when i plug them in they show blank.  HELP
[16:58] <ActionParsnip> celdridge: are you mounting them readable
[16:58] <celdridge> ActionParsnip,  yes ... running fsck on it right now, but it appears to just be blank
[16:59] <xaos11> celdridge, how do you mount them? automatically?
[16:59] <celdridge> ActionParsnip, weeks of project files on this thing ... i pray i can get it
[16:59] <celdridge> xaos11,  usually auto yes
[16:59] <xaos11> celdridge, when you plug them in, does it pop up boxes?
[17:00] <celdridge> xaos11, yes
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> celdridge: does it show up on  another system
[17:00] <celdridge> ActionParsnip, only other system i have is windows and this is formatted ext2
[17:01] <xaos11> celdridge, does it still report the same amount of free space?
[17:01] <celdridge> xaos11, honestly not sure how much data was used and not ... so im not sure
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> celdridge: http://www.fs-driver.org/
[17:02] <xaos11> yeah thats good
[17:02] <xaos11> but becareful
[17:02] <celdridge> ActionParsnip, fsck just reported an error Unconnected directory inode 19562497
[17:02] <Sargun> Anybody here have a Dell?
[17:02] <xaos11> yeah
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> celdridge: there are recovery tools
[17:02] <xaos11> i have a dell
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> !recovery | Sargun
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> m not that
[17:03] <Sargun> ActionParsnip, ?
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> !recover
[17:03] <girasquid> Hello, all - is there a way to only update a specific package + dependencies using apt-get?
[17:03] <celdridge> thanks
[17:03] <Sargun> ActionParsnip, Why are you recovering me?
[17:03] <dad> xaos11: now I can't activate the drivers 177, and X does not start
[17:03] <girasquid> I'm trying to run 'apt-get upgrade package', but it always seems to want to upgrade things that aren't related at all
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> Sargun: weather its a dell or an IBM, it doesnt matter, its the hardware inside that counts, the plastic case and the sticker means nothing
[17:03] <Sargun> ActionParsnip, I'm curious if anyone here has a Dell M4400?
[17:03] <n8tuserff> celdridge -> do not , i repeat do not fsck a mounted partition, or else you'd damage the filesystem, happened to me already
[17:03] <Sargun> ActionParsnip, I accidentally dropped off the model
[17:03] <xaos11> dad: ok, when you try the nvidia run.sh what happens? did you also run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[17:04] <dad> xaos11: I did
[17:04] <celdridge> n8tuserff, yeah i unmounted it first
[17:04] <mooja> I did a 8.04->8.10 upgrade and now my icewm is not starting - any hints?
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> Sargun: again it oesnt matter much, just state your problem and we can advise
[17:04] <dad> I must redowload the nvidia run file
[17:04] <dad> I am back in a few minutes
[17:04] <Sargun> ActionParsnip, I don't have a problem -- yet. I was just wondering people's general feel of the unit
[17:04] <celdridge> ActionParsnip, where does it create the lost+found dir ?
[17:04] <xaos11> dad: ok, you're going to need the kernel sources
[17:05] <erUSUL> celdridge: on the root of the filesystem
[17:05] <celdridge> erUSUL, said it was making it .. but there is nothing on that disk still
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> Sargun: then its offtopic for here, head to #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:06] <erUSUL> celdridge: :| "sudo fdisk -l /dev/whatever" shows the expected partition table ?
[17:06] <celdridge> erUSUL, yes
[17:06] <erUSUL> celdridge: and if yu mount it manually does it make any difference ?
[17:06] <celdridge> erUSUL, none at all sadly
[17:06] <celdridge> erUSUL, still blank
[17:07] <erUSUL> celdridge: you are navigating it with nautilus or with console tools (cd  ls etc)
[17:07] <cumulus007> how is it possible that my Kubuntu is much faster on a USB stick than on my hard drive?
[17:07] <xaos11> flash is faster than hard disks
[17:07] <celdridge> erUSUL, both produce the same issue ... even du shows 4k used .. although gparted shows 9gb used
[17:08] <lasivian> blarg, I think I just ruined a flash drive
[17:08] <xaos11> oh noes?!
[17:08] <xaos11> what happened lasivian?
[17:08] <cumulus007> xaos11: it is?
[17:08] <lasivian> PC locked up in the middle of formatting it
[17:08] <lasivian> now it just flashes constantly and nothing detects it
[17:08] <erUSUL> xaos11: 18:07 < xaos11> flash is faster than hard disks <<<< normal flash is not...
[17:09] <xaos11> cumulus007 yes flash is faster because no spinning disk etc, but the speed at which it connects to the system is probably not
[17:09] <cumulus007> xaos11: I got IDE at the moment, do you think a SATA drive would be as fast as a USB drive?
[17:09] <erUSUL> xaos11: only newer and expensive SSD from intel are
[17:09] <xaos11> cumulus007 yes it would faster, but you should try hdparm on the ide
[17:09] <xaos11> erUSUL yeah even linus torvalds says those intell ssds are good
[17:09] <cumulus007> xaos11: what's hdparm?
[17:10] <chainlynx> hey, did anyone else's spellcheck in firefox break with the most recent update?
[17:10] <xaos11> !hdparm
[17:10] <cumulus007> xaos11: it's a tool to manage disk drives, I see
[17:10] <erUSUL> celdridge: i'm out of ideas... sorry
[17:10] <cumulus007> xaos11: can it speed up my hard drive or something?
[17:10] <xaos11> cumulus007: sometimes you can speed up disk transfer withthat
[17:10] <cumulus007> cool
[17:10] <xaos11> yeah, there should be some tutorials somewhere
[17:11] <cumulus007> how to do that?
[17:11] <erUSUL> celdridge: maybe you can try photorec from the testdisk package
[17:11] <cumulus007> okay
[17:11] <xaos11> um... google ubuntu hdparm
[17:11] <cumulus007> did that
[17:11] <Droopsta915> Why can't I rename a Music folder?
[17:11] <xaos11> write permissions

[17:12] <homy> Hi, I know I can use ubuntu openoffice writer and calc instead of word and excel, but what ubuntu application can I use instead of Microsoft OneNote (also included in Microsoft Office)?
[17:12] <xaos11> cumulus007 i don't know much about it. i only did hdparm once
[17:12] <cumulus007> homy: what's OneNote?
[17:13] <cumulus007> xaos11: I found this
[17:13] <cumulus007> http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-5551745.html
[17:13] <xaos11> good tutorial
[17:13] <erUSUL> cumulus007: to test your hard disk speed do "sudo hdparm -tT /dev/whatever"
[17:14] <cumulus007>  Timing cached reads:   1520 MB in  1.99 seconds = 762.78 MB/sec
[17:14] <cumulus007>  Timing buffered disk reads:  170 MB in  3.02 seconds =  56.35 MB/sec
[17:15] <homy> cumulus007: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/onenote/default.aspx
[17:15] <erUSUL> cumulus007: pretty standar speed for a desktop hard drive... there is nothing wrong with your disk
[17:16] <xaos11> mines only 566 /mb/sec
[17:16] <ubuntistas> does anybody know how i open automessage properties?
[17:16] <cumulus007> homy: TomBoy?
[17:16] <ubuntistas> in amsn?
[17:17] <mustangg> any ideas why the installer sees a fakeraid mapping, even though I have all that disabled in the BIOS, AND have done my best to clear the hard drives of anything from a previous install..........
[17:17] <carlf> I'm sure this has to be a FAQ but my google-fu is failing me. Why does Intrepid run two copies of GDM and two copies of the X server?
[17:17] <erUSUL> xaos11: well the cached read test is not interesting... you have to pay attention to the buffered disk reads value
[17:17] <homy> cumulus007: no, isn't nearly as powerfull as OneNote.
[17:17] <KenBW2> "Write speed up to 6MB/sec Read speed up to 20MB/sec" <-- should that be sufficient for running Ubuntu from?
[17:17] <xaos11> oh well thats like 54mb
[17:17] <homy> Also, the whole concept is different.
[17:18] <mohd> can we install Avant broswer on Ubuntu , if yes , how ?
[17:19] <cumulus007> homy: http://www.solo-technology.com/blog/2008/01/05/linux-alternative-for-evernote-onenote/
[17:20] <cumulus007> homy: http://basket.kde.org/
[17:20] <Soyo> is there a program for ubuntu that can let you see the LAN without using the GUI
[17:20] <erUSUL> Soyo: define "See the LAN"
[17:20] <homy> cumulus007: is basket note pads included by default in kubuntu?
[17:20] <lasivian> Soyo: you want to connect to windows shares via command line?
[17:21] <cumulus007> homy: will check that
[17:21] <Soyo> lasivian you hit the nai on the head
[17:21] <cumulus007> homy: it's in the repos
[17:22] <lasivian> Soyo: Samba
[17:22] <homy> ok, I'll try it out. Thanks!!

[17:31] <lasivian> ok, when I plug something into USB is there any way to see what exactly is happening?
[17:31] <xaos11> on kernel sources
[17:31] <ActionParsnip> Travis-42: i'd have a snoop around, if it looks useless, rename the folder and run your system for a day or so. If it seems ok then I'd delete it
[17:32] <dad> xaos11: make oldconfig?? what is it going to do?
[17:32] <xaos11> not sure, when did you install your sources?
[17:32] <Travis-42> thanks ActionParsnip
[17:32] <ActionParsnip> Travis-42: if it goes weird, rename back
[17:32] <dad> xaos11: not clear to me.. can you be more specific?

[17:47] <KyleK> !sudo | KyleK
[17:47] <KyleK> oh thats crap
[17:47] <genii> l337ingDisorder: sudo apt-get install <packagename>=<version specified>
[17:47] <CArlo1> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[17:47] <l337ingDisorder> genii: thanks I'll try that :)

[17:48] <Shadoweaver> It won't let me install apt with sudo or anything else.
[17:48] <johan12> how do i launch firefox 3.1 beta 2 once installed?
[17:48] <Shadoweaver> It says permmisions denied
[17:48] <xaos11> change the permissions
[17:48] <phoenixz> on 8.04, how do I apt-get install the mod_python development header files?
[17:48] <xaos11> chmod +x firefox
[17:48] <genii> l337ingDisorder: eg: sudo apt-get install synaptic=0.61ubuntu9                 or so
[17:48] <Shadoweaver> How?
[17:48] <l337ingDisorder> genii: heh won't be able to test for a few mins as update manager is running. thanks though :)
[17:49] <xaos11> Shadoweaver in the terminal go to the dir where firefox is. type chmod +x firefox
[17:49] <l337ingDisorder> brb
[17:49] <KyleK> Shadoweaver: sudo apt-get install whatever?
[17:49] <Shadoweaver> Yea, I used that.
[17:49] <Shadoweaver> It told me permission denied
[17:49] <KyleK> odd
[17:49] <Shadoweaver> Need to log in as root
[17:49] <mzz_> aww, there's no package called "whatever" :P
[17:49] <letalis> there isnt?
[17:49] <letalis> thats sad.
[17:49] <xaos11> sudo chmod +x
[17:50] <dad> xaos11: OK, I have installed the nvidia-180-kernel-source
[17:50] <^hashbang^> Shadowweaver: when you run "sudo" do you get prompted or have you been prompted for a password?
[17:50] <KyleK> sudo does stuff as root :)
[17:50] <Shadoweaver> No
[17:50] <delco83> you can just use sudo then type the password for your user if your part of admin(root)
[17:50] <dad> and nvidia-180-glx and nvidia-settings
[17:50] <Shadoweaver> It keeps saying log in as root
[17:50] <KyleK> oh you're not using the first account are you
[17:50] <xaos11> dad: did you install just the package "kernel-source"
[17:50] <delco83> then your user might not be in the root group
[17:51] <^hashbang^> Shadoweaver: !sudo | Shadoweaver
[17:51] <^hashbang^> !sudo | Shadoweaver
[17:51] <dad> xaos11: no, I did not fond any
[17:51] <^Hitch^> Hello guys does someone know how I can download ubuntu repositories having access only at port 8080?
[17:51] <Shadoweaver> I did that ubottu, not much help.
[17:51] <dad> what depository shall I add?
[17:51] <xaos11> when you type sudo apt-get install kernel-source what happens?
[17:51] <xaos11> dad
[17:52] <KyleK> Shadoweaver: so if you punch in "sudo -i" the prompt still says something other than root?
[17:52] <^hashbang^> ^Hitch^: you can setup the proxy settings in synaptic. Goto. Settings->Preferences->Network
[17:52] <xaos11> i thought it was sudo -s
[17:52] <Shadoweaver> When I installed it yesterday, it made me create a name@suchandsuch thing to log into
[17:52] <Shadoweaver> Not root
[17:52] <KyleK> Shadoweaver: are you using that first account?
[17:52] <Shadoweaver> Yes
[17:52] <localadmin> hey all.  Running 8.10 and installed libpam-ldap and libnss-ldap.  After install neither set up the associated config files.  Is there a bug in ibex with these files?
[17:52] <Shadoweaver> the only save root
[17:52] <^Hitch^> thanks hash I will try that can i contact you if it doesn't work?
[17:53] <^hashbang^> ^Hitch^: from the termial, you can set http_proxy to your proxy server eg: export http_proxy="http://yourproxyhost:8080"
[17:53] <xaos11> localadmin did you install the dev files?
[17:53] <^Hitch^> i will try thanks
[17:54] <xaos11> shadoweaver: you don't login as root, you type sudo before commands to issue them as root. having a root login causes security issues
[17:54] <localadmin> xaos11, probably not cause I don't know what those are.  can you explain further
[17:54] <Shadoweaver> Uhh, not sure.  I think so.  If I did it was during the initial install yesterday
[17:54] <xaos11> localadmin: the same package you have installed but with "-dev" at the end. i assume you're trying to compile something?
[17:54] <Shadoweaver> I did that.  It keeps saying, xaos11 that I need to log in as root.
[17:55] <dad> xaos11: it says I can not install it, that it does exist in the database, but it missing or obsolete...
[17:55] <delco83> shadow type sudo -i
[17:55] <shubbar> what could be causing hang-ups? i thought it was a game, but last time i was running xchat and a gedit when it hanged up
[17:55] <Shadoweaver> No, trying to install a c++ compiler
[17:55] <delco83> then you should enter your password and it will take you to root
[17:55] <lasivian> hrrm
[17:55] <localadmin> xaos11, no just trying to get ldap authentication running.
[17:55] <lasivian> what higher level of access is there to something besides /dev/?
[17:55] <binarymutant> I installed python2.6 is there an easy way to remove it, short of searching for every trace of python2.6?
[17:55] <LeoWei> hi..
[17:56] <xaos11> localadmin: oh, i don't know then... sorry
[17:56] <LeoWei> i got this warning how do i fix this?
[17:56] <LeoWei> Warning: DocumentRoot [/home/user/public_html/] does not exist
[17:56] <mzz_> lasivian: define "something"
[17:56] <lasivian> i've got a usb flash drive that isn;t detecting right and I can;t access it
[17:56] <Shadoweaver> The password I use is not the same for root.  I did not give a secondary password to anything.  It should be the same as the first user right?
[17:56] <LeoWei> does it mkdir /home.user/public_html ?
[17:56] <xaos11> shadoweaver: what command are you issuing that needs root?
[17:56] <shubbar> its a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.04, did and update and install Nvidia drivers, but it hangs up
[17:56] <KyleK> Shadoweaver: the sudo stuff should "just work", and you need it to be able to do "sudo password" to set a root password :D
[17:56] <xaos11> shadoweaver: yess the root pw is the same as your first
[17:56] <mzz_> Shadoweaver: if "sudo id" says your uid is 0, sudo is working
[17:56] <lasivian> mzz_: it detects right for a second or two then starts flashing away and vanishes, it got unplugged in the middle of a format
[17:56] <Myrtti> !noroot | KyleK
[17:56] <delco83> the root password is auto created by the system use the same password that you use
[17:57] <Mextux> Hello! I'm trying to install gOS desktop on my Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04). I have added two lines to my sources.list file. The lines are these: "deb http://packages.thinkgos.com/gos/ painful main" and "deb-src http://packages.thinkgos.com/gos/ painful main" and typed aptitude update and then "apt-get install greenos-desktop" and got this error "Couldn't find any package whose name or...
[17:57] <Mextux> ...description matched "greenos-desktop". Does anybody know how to fix this problem? :(
[17:57] <warcall> sounds interasting
[17:57] <mzz_> lasivian: might need a reformat. Not sure what else could be wrong.
[17:57] <Shadoweaver> I checked all that.  It seems to be fine.  Just can't sudu install nothing.
[17:57] <mzz_> ugh, I should just install irssi, I can't keep up with this channel in xchat-gnome
[17:57] <LeoWei> anyone could help me?
[17:57] <delco83> try sudo -i
[17:58] <^hashbang^> mzz_: lol that's what I did
[17:58] <versatiletech> anyone ever use bouml?
[17:58] <delco83> that is like su -l just allows you to use your password
[17:58] <LeoWei> mkdir /home/user/public_html/ <-- this is not working
[17:58] <iwishyou> hi
[17:58] <^hashbang^> !noroot | delco83
[17:58] <mzz_> I'd ssh into my regular irssi, but I seem to have forgotten the necessary usb key.
[17:58] <Shadoweaver> Ok hold on while I try that.  What is it that I am looking for when I do that?
[17:58] <LeoWei> !mkdir
[17:58] <Myrtti> LeoWei: well do you have /home/user/ in the first place?
[17:58] <LeoWei> ok
[17:58] <lasivian> mzz_: I would love to reformat it, but I can;t access it
[17:58] <LeoWei> then?
[17:58] <chosig> exit
[17:58] <chosig> oops
[17:58] <Bolin> hi... i just installed ubuntu 8.10 on my laptop and was wonderingen if maybe someone could help me set up my wlan?
[17:58] <mzz_> lasivian: if the /dev/ node exists you can access it...
[17:59] <iwishyou> mkdir is [command of make directory]
[17:59] <xaos11> Bolin: ok, are youconnected to ethernet on that pc?
[17:59] <mzz_> lasivian: I'm not sure what could break it to the point where you have no /dev/ node. Check dmesg for clues?
[17:59] <Bolin> i know its an atheros chipset on the laptop but after the installation ubuntu hasn't found any wireless card...
[17:59] <Bolin> xaos11: yes
[17:59]  * chosig just bound "open terminal" to caps lock... interesting...
[17:59] <lasivian> mzz_: there is no /dev for it that I can see
[17:59] <lasivian> i'm not sure what i'm looking for tho
[17:59] <mzz_> lasivian: what appears in dmesg right after plugging in the device?
[17:59] <iwishyou> make directory is mkdir [filename]
[17:59] <xaos11> bolin: ok do this: go to system, administration, hardware drivers
[17:59] <LeoWei> then how to fix this? Warning: DocumentRoot [/home/user/public_html/] does not exist
[18:00] <Shadoweaver> Sweet!  Thanks!  I think that did it.
[18:00] <xaos11> woot
[18:00] <iwishyou> command su root
[18:00] <Shadoweaver> Let me try that download
[18:00] <lasivian> mzz_: I think pciehp: card not present on slot 1
[18:00] <iwishyou> command : su root
[18:00] <mzz_> lasivian: that doesn't sound related.
[18:00] <Myrtti> iwishyou: please don't guide anyone to use that
[18:00] <mzz_> lasivian: sorry, I probably have no time right now to dig into this
[18:00] <lasivian> mzz_: np
[18:00] <Bolin> xaos11: okay... it says "Support for Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards."
[18:01] <xaos11> bolin: ok, there should be an activate button
[18:01] <dtcrshr> hi fellas! im having a hard one issue sharing the internet
[18:01] <Bolin> its already activated
[18:01] <dtcrshr> iv tryed many automatic firewall guis, but none worked
[18:01] <mzz_> Myrtti: just curious: is "sudo -i" also frowned upon?
[18:01] <Shadoweaver> Awesome!  Thanks so much.  Now will that work every time?
[18:01] <Bolin> but there is no ath0 if i run ifconfig
[18:01] <dtcrshr> im surfing from the debian machine right now, but the other ones cant go on
[18:01] <Myrtti> mzz_: not as much as su root
[18:01] <xaos11> bolin: ok, is there an icon in the top right bar which has wireless signal bars?
[18:01]  * mzz_ nods
[18:01] <LeoWei> then how to fix that?
[18:02] <Bolin> no

[18:36] <LeoWei> how do i  delete file that i link using sudo ln -s?
[18:36] <xaos11> dhruvasagar: i think it's kind of an obselete thing. sort of like the lite version of compiz
[18:36] <fosco__> LeoWei, rm file
[18:36] <Pici> LeoWei: Just delete it like you'd nromally delete a file.

[18:44] <smoovep> xaos11: I brough up the ati by itself.. copy the xorg.conf info .. modify the original xorg.conf file with the new info.. reboot.. but still get the two nvidia working without the r128
[18:44] <mgolisch> venky: check netstat if the webserver actualy listens on the external ip
[18:44] <venky> mgolish: i tried accessing the ip with port number osutside
[18:44] <xaos11> smoovep: you using 8.10
[18:45] <venky> mgolish: its not acessible
[18:45] <lasivian> can dmesg be cleared?
[18:45] <abbronzato> hello i have a little problem with my webcam, apperently it is correctly installed/enabled but does not works , same webcam on a fedora installation (and similar kernel) works: any suggestion?
[18:45] <mandrig> anyone have trouble with the update to Firefox?
[18:45] <brammetje> I did request a free ubuntu cd and I live in The Netherlands, does anyone have any idea how long it will take before I got it??
[18:45] <Wunderbar> usually a month
[18:46] <Tecumseh> yep brammetje, that's about the time it took for me to get the cd's
[18:46] <venky> mgolisch: i did a netstat
[18:46] <mgolisch> venky: what do you mean by outside?
[18:46] <georgeaf> hi guys, anybody knows why don't wubi partitions get mounted on windows since ubuntu 8.10 ?
[18:46] <mgolisch> venky: what does the webserver listen on?
[18:46] <EvilDennisR> I'm looking for an apt repository with a backport of perl 5.10 for Hardy
[18:46] <venky> mgolisch:it listens on 8080 nad 8443
[18:46] <EvilDennisR> Folks here at work are insisting on perl 5.10 instead of 5.8.8
[18:46] <mgolisch> venky: it should be *:80 if you do netstat -lp
[18:46] <brammetje> Tecumseh, and how long did it take for you?
[18:46] <mgolisch> or whatevcer you use
[18:46] <lasivian> my dmesg is completely ful of pciehp "present" then "not present" messages
[18:46] <mgolisch> the important part is that it shows * as the ip
[18:47] <Tecumseh> about a month, living in Deventer
[18:47] <venky> mgolisch:netstat shows that
[18:47] <venky> 8080 and 8443 are open
[18:47] <Joker_-_> Whats the equivalent to "netselect" in newer ubuntu versions? (No gui)
[18:47] <lasivian> oh, silly me I know what's causing that
[18:47] <mgolisch> venky: and you cant access them using a box in the same network?
[18:47] <brammetje> Tecumseh, ok thank you
[18:48] <venky> mgolisch:yes..
[18:48] <mgolisch> venky: and you are sure your iptables rules are correct? what does it say when connecting?
[18:48] <venky> a friend of mine is trying it from his machine
[18:48] <Tecumseh> brammetje: you are aware that there is a dutch ubuntu channel on this server?
[18:48] <venky> it times out
[18:48] <georgeaf>  anybody knows why don't wubi partitions get mounted on windows since ubuntu 8.10 ?
[18:48] <venky> mgolisch:it times out
[18:49] <eXtreem> #ubuntu-nl
[18:49] <DJones> venky: Do you have a router and have you forwarded the ports (8080 & 8443) to the internal ip address of your webserver?
[18:49] <mgolisch> venky: but does it work from a box on the same network?
[18:49] <M3rL1n> hi guys
[18:49] <xaos11> hi
[18:49] <Joker_-_> is there an app to find the fastest repository that runs in console?
[18:49] <M3rL1n> i have a problem
[18:49] <M3rL1n> with wireless
[18:49] <xaos11> Joker_-_:  you can do it in synaptic
[18:49] <M3rL1n> can u help me a little
[18:49] <M3rL1n> its urgent
[18:49] <fiftyone_> hi, does anyone know how to enable full transparency for applications xchat . firefox for example? I have seen some people where everything is transparent?
[18:49] <Joker_-_> xaos11: "console"
[18:50] <venky> mgolisch: it works on the box in the same network
[18:50] <xaos11> Joker_-_:  oh yea lol... um... not that i know of
[18:50] <brammetje> Tecumseh, really? I didn't know that. But it isn't a big problem for me the english language for support
[18:50] <venky> mgolisch: when accessed through 192.168 series
[18:50] <gafir> hi, is tehre a way, like in windows, to stop the process of an application? I'm trying to stop Firefox, because I have quit it but it tells me Firefox is still open and that I cannot open another one. Thanks
[18:50] <Joker_-_> xaos11: thx anyway...
[18:50] <dimer> hi.. i have an issue with moving a software raid5 to another box
[18:50] <mgolisch> venky: then it must be a issue with portforwarding on your router
[18:50] <xaos11> gafir: killall firefox
[18:50] <Longbow> gafir: you can open a console and do killall firefox
[18:50] <dimer> when i try to assemble, this is what i get
[18:50] <Longbow> ah
[18:50] <Joker_-_> anyone knows why ubuntu doesnt support netselect anymore? (or vice versa)
[18:50] <gafir> thanks
[18:50] <gafir> :)
[18:50] <dimer> mdadm: failed to add /dev/sde1 to /dev/md1: Invalid argument
[18:50] <dimer> mdadm: /dev/md1 assembled from 2 drives - not enough to start the array.
[18:50] <Joker_-_> and what would be the way to go nowadays?
[18:50] <M3rL1n> I have a usb wireless device and when i plug it in it recognize it just like device but i can't do anything with it
[18:50] <dimer> i have 4 drives that won't add in
[18:50] <venky> mgolisch: any idea on how to resolve that
[18:51] <M3rL1n> i can't even enable it
[18:51] <dimer> and when i check dmesg, it says

[18:51] <dimer> [  402.097167] md: md_import_device returned -22
[18:51] <Tecumseh> brammetje: It isn't for me either but for localisation questions it can be handy. You can find the channel here: #ubuntu-nl
[18:51] <dimer> any ideas please?
[18:51] <xaos11> dimer: run fsck on the disk
[18:51] <mgolisch> venky: yeah fix the portfotrwarding on your router
[18:51] <DJones> venky: There are instructions on how to configure specific routers here http://portforward.com/
[18:52] <dimer> what? i'm not running fsck on individual raid disks
[18:52] <MassterJedi> Hello Everybody
[18:52] <xaos11> dimer: oh... nevermind i have no clue about raid
[18:52] <dimer> yeah, considering that fsck would surely kill the raid data
[18:52] <dimer> sorry but that was the dumbest idea ever.. please don't tell people to do stuff you have no idea about
[18:53] <M3rL1n> will someone help me pls
[18:53] <dimer> you NEVER run fsck on individual raid disks
[18:53] <Bolin> Could someone please help me set up my wifi? Im running ubuntu 8.10 on an Acer 5315 laptop... the wifi card is a atheros card... ar242 i think. Ive had it working one time when i was using linux mint but cant remember how i did.
[18:53] <MassterJedi> I am soon going to be installing Ubuntu. But first I have a few major questions
[18:53] <xaos11> dimer: you didn't mention the raid to begin with i don't recall
[18:54] <dimer> yes, i did
[18:54] <venky> mgolisch: is opening ports and accessing from outside possible in DHCP based ip's
[18:54] <xaos11> dimer: you only mentioned it once , sorry i didn't read your every post
[18:55] <xaos11> dimer: why don't you do a rm -f / while you're at it
[18:55] <venky> DJones: thanks
[18:55] <M3rL1n> guys helpp plssssss
[18:55] <M3rL1n>  have a usb wireless device and when i plug it in it recognize it just like device but i can't do anything with it.I can't even enable it.it says connection timed out?! what's that
[18:55] <venky> mgolisch:thanks
[18:56] <MassterJedi> My First question is: I have a Multi-core Machine. Namely an Intel Dual core. More Specifically an Intel 630. Will the Ubuntu Installer recognize the dual Core? Or Do I have to recompile it for the use of Multi-Cores?
[18:56] <soier> is there who use boost filesystem library in ubuntu  ???
[18:56] <Pici> xaos11, dimer: Please drop the attitude, both of you.
[18:56] <Joker_-_> Ubuntu has a flavor that has no gui installed by default (server). How comes usefull tools like netstat-apt arent included anymore. Is there any equivalent usable in console mode? Dont tell me one would have to install a GUI to use synaptic for that single use?!
[18:56] <Scunizi> My intrepid and hardy install doesn't seem to have Oo's Base accessable.. from any menu option either on the Applications menu or Oo's writer "File/New".. Synaptic show that it should be installed. What's the actual file name for installation of base?
[18:57] <xaos11> MassterJedi: it will recognise the dual core automatically
[18:57] <hammer> hola
[18:57] <MassterJedi> My First question is: I have a Multi-core Machine. Namely an Intel Dual core. More Specifically an Intel 630. Will the Ubuntu Installer recognize the dual Core? Or Do I have to recompile it for the use of Multi-Cores?
[18:57] <dimer> first line: software raid.. second line: assemble third line: mdadm fourth line: mdadm
[18:57] <ChronosZA> hey all. after finding out that i can get edgy packages on intrepid, is there any other way on the planet i can overwrite a package on intrepid with the edgy one?
[18:57] <xaos11> MassterJedi: NO you don't need to recompile
[18:57] <Joker_-_> MassterJedi: it will be all fine
[18:57] <dimer> pretty sure at no point during any of what i said, someone would think i was talking about a normal disk
[18:57] <Pici> Joker_-_: netstat-apt?
[18:57] <ChronosZA> ps - that should read, after finding out that I CANT get packages from edgy installed on intrepid....etc.etc
[18:58] <Joker_-_> Pici: yes?
[18:58] <hammer> españa?
[18:58] <Pici> !es | hammer
[18:58] <lasivian> hrrm, i'm trying to fix a broken usb flash drive, dmesg keeps saying "usb 5-3: reset high speed usb device using ehci_hcd and address 3" any ideas? thanks
[18:58] <MassterJedi> Really. ok just had some doubts, unlike with Windows which you have to manually configure
[18:58] <xaos11> dimer enough already not everyone works with RAID
[18:58] <M3rL1n> I have a usb wireless device and when i plug it in it recognize it just like device but i can't do anything with it.I can't even enable it.it says connection timed out?! what's that
[18:58] <lasivian> oh, it's getting an I/O error on sector 0
[18:58] <Pici> Joker_-_: I'm not familiar with that tool. Do you mean aptitude?
[18:58] <Joker_-_> Pici: netselect-apt, sry
[18:58] <lasivian> not much I can do about that i'm guessing
[18:58] <xaos11> M3rL1n:   what kind of device?
[18:59] <Joker_-_> Pici: netselect-apt helps you find the fastest repository available
[18:59] <Joker_-_> Pici: but it's not included in ubuntu anymore
[18:59] <M3rL1n> xaos11: wireless
[18:59] <soier> UBUNTU BOOST LIBRARIES USERS ! R U THERE !?
[18:59] <Joker_-_> Pici: and there is no equivalent from what I've been googling for a few hours
[18:59] <brammetje> Tecumseh, thank you very much
[19:00] <dimer> how about enough already with the microsoft support you're giving... oh, something's not working? i'm not going to bother reading your problem, just fsck it.. you're having internet issues? reboot your modem..
[19:00] <xaos11> M3rL1n: i know, but is it a wireless card? bluetooth? wireless mouse?
[19:00] <salvatore> ciao
[19:00] <M3rL1n> xaos11: wifi
[19:00] <M3rL1n> device
[19:00] <lasivian> hrrm, is there any way to force-erase a device that is showing up in dmesg but not /dev?
[19:00] <Pici> !patience | soier
[19:00] <xaos11> thanks pici
[19:01] <M3rL1n> xaos11: what should i do
[19:01] <xaos11> um... lsusb?
[19:01] <M3rL1n> xaos11: its there
[19:01] <Joker_-_> !patience | Joker_-_
[19:01] <Pici> Joker_-_: Ah. I'm not sure if theres a tool available for something like that.  For the most part, you can just pick an Ubuntu mirror for a country close to you.. so it would be CC.archive.ubuntu.com  where CC is the 2 letter country code.
[19:01] <dimer> zzz
[19:01] <soier> 2 ubottu, ok. I understand ! tnx
[19:01] <dimer> anyone have experience with moving raid5 to another machine?
[19:02] <MassterJedi> My Second question, I used to play around with Red Hat 9 before and can remember being able to switch between KDE And I forget the second interface. Can we do that with Ubuntu?
[19:02] <Joker_-_> Pici: yeah but I get somewhere around 30kbps while I can get around 600kbps on other servers.
[19:02] <locustmage> hey all
[19:02] <xaos11> M3rL1n: i'm not sure about usb wifi, i've never used them with ubuntu
[19:02] <lasivian> dimer: software or hardware raid?
[19:02] <dimer> software
[19:02] <Joker_-_> Pici: I want to make a local mirror and I'll have to dl about 30gb of stuff so... it'd be appreciated to get the fastest repository possible
[19:02] <deus42> Dimer: I have had to more a software raid 5 between computers, if that is what you mean.
[19:02] <dimer> yeah
[19:03] <EvilDennisR> I'm looking for a backport of perl 5.10 for Hardy.. Point me in the right direction ?
[19:03] <dimer> i tried moving a 6 disk raid 5 to another computer
[19:03] <lasivian> M3rL1n: is your usb device known compatible with ubuntu?
[19:03] <uman_> Hey guys. I changed mobos so now i only have 2 nics instead of 3.. The thing is i really need to change the name of eth1 to eth2. how can i do that? Thanks
[19:03] <Pici> Joker_-_: I know what you mean, but I'm just not aware of a current tool that does that.  Sorry.
[19:03] <dimer> and when i assemble scan
[19:03] <MassterJedi> My Second question, I used to play around with Red Hat 9 before and can remember being able to switch between KDE And I forget the second interface. Can we do that with Ubuntu?
[19:03] <M3rL1n> xaos11: hm it recognize it when i plug it in the led flashes for a sec and cant get it enabled again
[19:03] <ChronosZA> anyone?  is there any other way on the planet i can overwrite a package on intrepid with the edgy one?
[19:03] <dimer> it only adds 2
[19:03] <xaos11> MassterJedi: i think you can pick between window managers with the gdm login app
[19:03] <Joker_-_> Pici: MAKE ONE :P
[19:03] <Joker_-_> Pici: thx anyway ;)
[19:03] <lasivian> dimer: Sorry, can;t help you, i've done alot of raids but all hardware
[19:03] <dimer> when i mdadm -E
[19:03] <Jufis> how to find out running processes? and how to shut them down?
[19:03] <M3rL1n> lasivian: yes
[19:03] <fluitfries> i still cannot ping gulus.usherbrooke.ca     are the synaptic mirrors down or something?
[19:03] <dimer> all the drives seem fine.. same uuid, same events #
[19:03] <M3rL1n> Jufis use htop
[19:04] <deus42> Hmm, usually the assemble scan works for me.
[19:04] <Unguided> hello all. can i install any version/derivative of ubuntu using wubi and can i install more than one version/derivative at the same time?
[19:04] <Jufis> htop? in terminal?
[19:04] <Joker_-_> Pici: I'll make such a tool tonight, do you know where I can post it so that ppl can use it too?
[19:04] <xaos11> M3rL1n: well the led flash could just be from power going to the device. what is the exact name of the device/model
[19:04] <dimer> but dmesg shows this: [  402.095895] md: invalid superblock checksum on sde1
[19:04] <dimer> [  402.095899] md: sde1 does not have a valid v0.90 superblock, not importing!
[19:04] <dimer> [  402.097167] md: md_import_device returned -22
[19:04] <deus42> With mdadm, you should be able to force it.
[19:04] <Joker_-_> Pici: do you know a place where I could find a list in plain text of all the repositories available?
[19:04] <dimer> i tried force
[19:04] <M3rL1n> Jufis : yes type sudo apt-get install htop.then just htop
[19:04] <Jufis> okay thanks
[19:04] <Joker_-_> Pici: I'll make a perl script to find the fastest one based on dl-speed

[19:04] <deus42> The worst recovery I had to do was to recreate the array (which re-writes the super block) the data was there, but II wouldn't recommend it.
[19:05] <uman_> Hey guys. I changed mobos so now i only have 2 nics instead of 3.. The thing is i really need to change the name of eth1 to eth2. how can i do that? Thanks

[19:12] <zipper2> how i can install apache+mysql ?
[19:12] <Unguided> Ikonia: I know but i was going to install linuxmce under wubi to see what it is all about and it is based off of ubuntu 7.04
[19:12] <shally88> ikonia: what? creat /dev/vboxdrv?
[19:12] <Chr1z> How do I get updatedb to also index a mounted share?

[19:12] <ikonia> shally88: no
[19:12] <venky> ikonia: thanks
[19:13] <venky> ikonia: will try that
[19:13] <ikonia> shally88: what does the error message tell you to do to fix it
[19:13] <MassterJedi> Ok. I'm about to install Ubuntu Through Virtual Machine by VirtualBox. Can I install everything at once? What I mainly want to do is install both the KDE Interface and Gnome at the same time

[19:15] <^hashbang^> shally88: I tried to install Virtualbox from the repos, but it looks like the vboxdrv doesnt' get compiled. So, I uninstalled it, and went to virtualbox's website and downloaded and installed the package from there, and now I'm up and running

[19:15] <shally88> ikonia: i got this Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel, e.g. virtualbox-ose-modules-generic.. but there is no further message..
[19:15] <ikonia> Chr1z: the man page explains how to use it
[19:15] <ikonia> shally88: have you installed that package ?
[19:15] <shally88> doing it
[19:15] <shally88> :)
[19:15] <lasivian> is it possible for force-overwrite sector 0 on a device that is not showing up in /dev?
[19:15] <gumpish> Is there any way to create symlinks or hard links in nautilus?
[19:15] <ikonia> MassterJedi: sure, just install the gnome-desktop or the kubuntu-package post install
[19:15] <Chr1z> ikonia: the manpage just shows prunepaths and prunefs.  Nothing about including.
[19:15] <Unguided> Ikonia: I know but i was going to install linuxmce under wubi to see what it is all about and it is based off of ubuntu 7.04
[19:15] <arturgam3r> MassterJedi when you login you cen decide what to use
[19:16] <MassterJedi> Theres a Media Center for Ubuntu?
[19:16] <ikonia> Chr1z: where is your file system mounted
[19:16] <arturgam3r> I don't realy now, but Mythbuntu? ><
[19:16] <gumpish> hmmm let's see if right-click -> Make Link will do what i need
[19:17] <shally88> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/116973/ which one?
[19:17] <Chr1z> ikonia: I want it to include /mounts/data
[19:17] <ikonia> Chr1z: you've actually got a mount point called "/mounts" ?
[19:17] <SliMM> hello
[19:17] <arturgam3r> MassterJedi: http://www.mythbuntu.org/
[19:18] <SliMM> how can I install java plugin for firefox?
[19:18] <ikonia> shally88: the one that matched your CURRENT running kernel
[19:18] <ikonia> !java > SliMM
[19:18] <shally88> ok..
[19:18] <shally88> then how to know it?
[19:18] <ikonia> shally88: uname -a will show you your kernel version
[19:18] <shally88> ok tq
[19:18] <AnRkey> does gnome have a script for when it shutsdown?
[19:18] <shally88> i got short memory..u got teach me that yesterday
[19:19] <Chr1z> ikonia: no. /mounts is a folder.  Under that I have several mounted shares like /mounts/data /mounts/share2 etc
[19:19] <ikonia> AnRkey: it has many processes when it shuts down, what are you looking for
[19:19] <MassterJedi> hmmm.
[19:19] <ikonia> Chr1z: then it should be included by default as it will index everything except prunefs
[19:19] <MassterJedi> thanks for that. worth looking into later
[19:19] <ikonia> Chr1z: sorry, prunepath
[19:19] <Rave1_> MassterJedihttp://linuxmce.com/
[19:20] <AnRkey> ikonia, when i shut down i need to unmount all my smbfs shares or it takes almost an our to shutdown
[19:20] <ikonia> AnRkey: if they are in the mtab and/or fstab the init scripts should remove them for you
[19:20] <AnRkey> ikonia, if i do sudo umount /media/* before i shutdown then it's all cool
[19:21] <RickX> I have an nVidia vanta card. Can anyone give me advice on how to get COmpiz and the Cube working?
[19:21] <shally88> thanks ikonia it's working now
[19:21] <AnRkey> a bug in smbfs or the shutdown/reboot procedure in 8.04.2 perhaps?
[19:21] <Chr1z> ikonia: my /mounts permissions are root:root drwx------ would that make it not pick it up?
[19:21] <diamont> hello
[19:21] <ikonia> AnRkey: quite possible
[19:21] <ikonia> Chr1z: you use sudo - so it should be fine
[19:21] <diamont> can anyone help me , i have a few questions?
[19:22] <ikonia> diamont: ask, lets see
[19:22] <Unguided> Ikonia: can i install any version/derivative (8.04 and above) of ubuntu using wubi and can i install more than one version/derivative at the same time? Meaning ubuntu, kubuntu, mythbuntu etc. i wld like to evaluate each of them to make a decision
[19:22] <diamont> i have a kompozer problem
[19:22] <shally87[sleep]> gnite all..3am here..
[19:22] <diamont> it crashes when i want to change fonts etc
[19:22] <ikonia> Unguided: I have no idea, I suspect you can install any version that's an active repo, but wubi is not an ubuntu product,
[19:22] <xaos11> nvidia vanta?
[19:22] <loller> hi , what`s the command to rename file
[19:22] <zor0> I've got a box with 4 nics, how can I see wich interface is what card? does ifconfig show if a cable is connected?
[19:22] <AnRkey> ikonia, can u suggest anything? I would like to file a bug if it is one, but to smbfs or the gnome ubu team?
[19:22] <ikonia> loller: mv
[19:22] <ikonia> zor0: it does, and mii-tool and ethtool will help
[19:23] <AnRkey> ikonia, and what to send them?
[19:23] <fiftyone_> !compiz
[19:23] <ikonia> AnRkey: I'd do it to the gnome team in launchpad.net
[19:23] <Unguided> Ikonia: thanks again for the information. Sorry u r getting hammered right now
[19:23] <ikonia> AnRkey: jus send them the facts
[19:23] <ikonia> Unguided: no problem, happy to help
[19:23] <AnRkey> ikonia, thanks
[19:24] <zor0> ikonia: what field is that?  I have one cable plugged in but ifconfig shows similar info on both interfaces that are "up"
[19:24] <AnRkey> ikonia, for a workaround are there any scripts i could add the umount command to?
[19:24] <n3o> ubuntu-fr
[19:25] <ikonia> zor0: good point, doesn't look like it does, use mii-tool
[19:25] <locustmage> wow dude i just figured out Seemless mode on virtual box!! now my ubuntu is running serious inside my windows
[19:25] <ikonia> AnRkey: well the init scripts should pick it up - so if they are not, no point adding to them
[19:25] <SliMM> ikonia: http://stikked.com/view/b993a555
[19:26] <gumpish> locustmage: now you just need to get comfortable enough with ubuntu to reverse that situation
[19:26] <Bleedisaster> o
[19:26] <Bleedisaster> hello
[19:26] <Bleedisaster> I need some help with my ubuntu
[19:26] <ikonia> SliMM: why are you showing me that ?
[19:26] <SliMM> ikonia: this is what I get and it doesn't look promising
[19:26] <zor0> ikonia: got it! thanks!
[19:26] <ikonia> SliMM: search https://help.ubuntu.com for java 64bit

[19:26] <SliMM> ikonia: because you made ubottu give me the link
[19:26] <Bleedisaster> and I would also like to install the beryl features and have no clue to do that
[19:26] <ikonia> AnRkey: /etc/init.d

[19:27] <locustmage> i just need to keep windows on here for my dad. havent broke him to linux totally yet
[19:27] <AnRkey> ikonia, thanks... gonna try it for shits and giggles
[19:27] <ikonia> Bleedisaster: beryl is dead, it was replaced with compiz-fusion which is already installed in ubuntu 7.10 and later
[19:27] <ikonia> AnRkey: careful on the language please.
[19:27] <Bleedisaster> how do I use that ?
[19:27] <ikonia> !compiz > Bleedisaster

[19:35] <wesnerps> oque?  por que?  ???
[19:35] <nonix4> sathyrion: well I want something that doesn't need to be edited later on. Assuming upgrades to both Hardy & Intrepid.

[19:39] <jhonnyboy> guys when i change themes the theme color doesn't change. I must change it manually. Do you have any idea why this is hapenning?
[19:39] <arch3angel> does anyone know how to get cell cards working in linux
[19:40] <jedir0x> Is there a way to reset the sound configuration to it's default settings?  I'm having a hell of a time getting my sound working again...

[19:41] <jedir0x> Is there a way to reset the sound configuration to it's default settings?  I'm having a hell of a time getting my sound working again.  Should alsamixer show a single volume controler for pulse?

[19:43] <|hashbang|> total_noob: ok.. what version?
[19:43] <jedir0x> is there some documentation anywhere on how the whole pulseaudio server and alsa is setup? if i use alsamider -c 0 it gives me volume controls for my sound card, but if i don't pass arguments it's for the "pulse" device (which is default)... how should this all be setup?
[19:43] <total_noob> cant tell without cracking it onen and removing card (probably would have been a good idea to note it down first)

[19:46] <danbhfive> jedir0x: more seriously, I thought in general that everything was supposed to start feeding through pulseaudio, that pulse was going to be the great gate keeper/mixer to your sound card.  But, I don't know any specifics
[19:46] <jedir0x> well

[19:47] <pike_> Scunizi: wait what groups?
[19:47] <Beyecixramd> jedir0x i dont think that's possible
[19:47] <Scunizi> pike_: like www-data, ftp , my user account etc.

[19:48] <sathyrion> Does the PAE under 32bit systems slow down the cpu much or is it just a small percentage? Want to utilize all my ram but can't run 64 due to the fact that cedega doesn't function right
[19:49] <SlimeyPete> sathyrion: support is built into the processor so I doubt it has much effect
[19:49] <jussel> Anyone know why it isn't working / how to get it working?

[19:51] <sathyrion> opr: Update your ubuntu and install manually from synaptic after updating is finnished. Had the same problem
[19:52] <idi0t> no. and i can't double click the volume control, as accoring to ubuntu i have no soundcard (which is weird)
[19:52] <jussel> SlimeyPete: I'll check it out, thanks.
[19:52] <Beyecixramd> well, you can use envygt too
[19:52] <Scunizi> Pici: finally I found it.  the list wasn't alphabetized.. took a couple of looks.
[19:52] <jussel> idi0t: I can click the volume control, and select different devices, but it's just not working.
[19:52] <jussel> tried to unmute, etc.
[19:52] <pike_> opr: i normally do a sudo apg-et install nvidia-glx-new

[19:54] <CuriosTiger> So I have an ancient laptop that doesn't seem to like the graphical installer. Do I have to go download the alternative CD, or is there a way to force textmode on the regular live CD? Adding "text" to the argument list seems not to work.
[19:54] <tarsin> Hentai: i thought ##linux had more to do with the kernel, and not a distribution
[19:54] <djdinho> ive installed directx9 by wine and after sometime im trying to run the same game that i was playing, but now its saying that direct x is not installed and when im trying to install it, its says error to me, anyone?
