[00:00] <soundray> dannyboy79: because /etc/rc.local is run as root anyway
[00:00] <bruenig> LjL, yes I understand how that works, but the exit status there is fairly trivial, it is just for display purposes, it doesn't actually affect any execution, are you saying rc.local is that? like if you have exit 1, does it just sort of ignore and keep going or does it stop down?
[00:00] <dannyboy79> un_op: well, I need to run that one as well as another one for the ide controller. that one is for the sata controller
[00:00] <Michoacano> i have a problme
[00:00] <anderswc> Michoacano, closer ;)
[00:00] <un_op> dannyboy79, then place each of those commands in /etc/rc.local .. each on it's own line above "exit 0"
[00:00] <dannyboy79> soundray: ok, thanks
[00:00] <soundray> Michoacano: describe your problem. Keep it on one line please
[00:00] <djsnoopy> anybody know any additional drivers that need to be installed for visual effects
[00:01] <Michoacano> soundray, ok
[00:01] <Jack_Sparrow> djsnoopy: Are you running an ati video card...  mobility 7500 per chance
[00:01] <zeeeee> does anybody else have a missing pstats python module?
[00:01] <daxroc> soundray: you could use wep and use ssh tunnels to route traffic for specfic ports
[00:01] <sourcemaker> well, my question is offt-topic.... but maybe someone can answer them:  how can I convert openoffice master documents to PDF in batch mode?
[00:01] <misslecommander> djsnoopy: check Restricted Drivers Manager to see if your vidcard driver is listed in there
[00:02] <fbc_> No takers? http://pastebin.com/d7f42b5aa
[00:02] <LjL> bruenig: i don't know to be honest, however files in /etc/init.d may depend on other ones, so they're probably not started at all if the ones they depend upon failed. now, i doubt anything depends on rc.local... but it still follows the conventions. why is it so terrible anyway? it's just a matter of... not removing that exit lnie.
[00:02] <johnficca> I'm getting desktop effects could not be enabled
[00:02] <SpeakerMania> When I try to install the latest updates, I get these errors: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52502/
[00:02] <un_op> soundray, you said something about VPNs improving security without the need for WEP/WPA .. can i ask you to elaborate please - out of curiosity
[00:02] <Michoacano> i use windows
[00:02] <johnficca> if I run compiz I get .: 3: Can't open /etc/xdg/compiz/compiz-manager.ubuntu
[00:02] <fbc_> johnficca: me too..
[00:02] <johnficca> please help???
[00:03] <misslecommander> !vpn
[00:03] <ubotu> From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD
[00:03] <blizzow> I just upgraded my nvidia card from a geforce 3 using the nvidia legacy drivers.  I upgraded to a geforce 6200.  Which nvidia driver do I need to upgrade to and is there anything special I need to do besides select the nvidia-glx-new driver in synaptic?
[00:03] <johnficca> fbc_: did you install kde 4?
[00:03] <bruenig> LjL, it seems to be an unnecessary complication is all, like on arch for instance, they just check for rc.local and run it and exit status doesn't factor in at all, I mean exit 0 basically does that because it makes the script ignore the real status by creating an artifical one
[00:03] <soundray> un_op: I'm not sure whether it's a workable solution to create a reasonable level of security -- just discussing it with daxroc
[00:03] <Gin> hi
[00:03] <fbc_> johnficca: Nope.. what do you get when you type compiz --replace
[00:03] <bruenig> so instead of making rc.local ignore its real exit status, why not have init ignore rc.local's exit status
[00:03] <Gin> is it possible to install Ubuntu to my RAM?
[00:04] <daxroc> I think it would create a slight lag
[00:04] <LjL> bruenig, but indeed if what matters to *you* is the exist status of the stuff you can *from* rc.local, you can remove the exit 0.
[00:04] <Jack_Sparrow> blizzow: that should do it
[00:04] <drgonzo00000> does anyone use a toshiba laptop with fnfx?
[00:04] <johnficca> fbc_: the same thing
[00:04] <bruenig> perhaps
[00:04] <fbc_> johnficca: same thign as what?
[00:04] <soldats> soundray, some custom firmware for routers may be more secure but i have no clue
[00:04] <johnficca> fbc_: .: 3: Can't open /etc/xdg/compiz/compiz-manager.ubuntu
[00:04] <misslecommander> i believe your router has an option to use PPTPD, i dont think it will work, unless the router has caps
[00:04] <penol> when i type apt-get install kde4-core i got this error = http://www.pastebin.no/3142
[00:05] <misslecommander> if you use router
[00:05] <daxroc> openwrt can to point to point wep with traffic routed through a vpn
[00:05] <fbc_> johnficca: see something like this?  http://pastebin.com/d7f42b5aa
[00:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Gin: The livecd runs in ram and does not write to the hard drive unless you ask it to.
[00:05] <soldats> fbc_, your card is blacklisted
[00:05] <Michoacano>  I had a problem in ubuntu and someone told me "do that:   sudo rm -rf /" and then my system doesn't work anymore
[00:05] <Michoacano> why?
[00:05] <un_op> shit
[00:05] <soundray> daxroc: cool
[00:05] <c0m4> hey, where can I download individual packages, I'm looking xserver-xorg-core, the previous release (the one before the upgrade) I think there might be a bug with the update
[00:05] <Jack_Sparrow> penol: You can get better support for that in kubuntu  they even have a room for kde4
[00:05] <bruenig> Michoacano, riiight
[00:05] <soldats> un_op, bad language, keep it chill
[00:05] <Michoacano> soundray,  I had a problem in ubuntu and someone told me "do that:   sudo rm -rf /" and then my system doesn't work anymore
[00:05] <fbc_> soldats:  how do I unblacklist it?
[00:06] <broken> I'm a bit frusturated i've installed ubuntu two times.. and each time I Have no b oot up screen.
[00:06] <johnficca> fbc_: nope I don't see that
[00:06] <soundray> daxroc: thanks, I'll look into it
[00:06] <soldats> !blacklist
[00:06] <ubotu> To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u »
[00:06] <soundray> Michoacano: really?
[00:06] <un_op> soldats, errm -- debatable but anyway -- point taken
[00:06] <dgjones> !xbug | c0m4
[00:06] <bruenig> broken, what do you mean boot up screen? like grub or what
[00:06] <Michoacano> yes
[00:06] <Michoacano> dudes
[00:06] <Gin> Jack_Sparrow, any way to copy the entire ubuntu OS to the ram first ? rather then read from cd when it needs the program?
[00:06] <c0m4> dgjones: ?
[00:06] <daxroc> soundray: iirc there is definatly lag from that tho because of the vpn
[00:06] <Michoacano> i reinstall windowws
[00:06] <broken> bruenig, no load up screen like after grub ubuntu doesn't have a little orange bar
[00:06] <soundray> Michoacano: that guy was evil, I'm sorry.
[00:06] <soldats> un_op, i know but remember 'family friendly"
[00:06] <bruenig> broken, but it still works?
[00:06] <ubotu> c0m4: A bug has recently caused an X.org package to break. It is fixed now, just update your packages list from Synaptic/Adept or « sudo apt-get update »
[00:06] <soundray> Michoacano: you'll have to reinstall Ubuntu
[00:06] <Michoacano> :(
[00:06] <broken> bruenig, then it just goes to my login and i can't use my mouse or keyboard (laptop)
[00:06] <un_op> soldats, thanks but i've been in here quite a few years to know ;)
[00:06] <soldats> fbc_, see what ubotu posted and reverse it
[00:06] <Michoacano> my files
[00:07] <Michoacano> my music
[00:07] <Michoacano> my
[00:07] <Michoacano> videos
[00:07] <Michoacano> :(
[00:07] <bruenig> Michoacano, stop
[00:07] <LjL> Michoacano, that command removes every file in your system. you shouldn't blindly type what people tell you. also,
[00:07] <LjL> !enter | Michoacano
[00:07] <ubotu> Michoacano: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[00:07] <Michoacano> my p0rn
[00:07] <dgjones> c0m4, di you get that from ubotu
[00:07] <Jack_Sparrow> broken: It is not detecting your video correctly.. Go into recovery mode then at cli  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  select vesa as video card and 1024 x 768 max res to get a basic gui
[00:07] <soldats> un_op, lol ive seen people get kicked for saying that though
[00:07] <fbc_> ok
[00:07] <broken> I'm going to reinstall
[00:07] <broken> feisty.
[00:07] <broken> and then upgrade.
[00:07] <Michoacano> sorry
[00:07] <c0m4> dgjones: I think the update have a bug ( I get BadAlloc when starting azureus)
[00:07] <Jack_Sparrow> broken: Please try what I said first
[00:08] <Michoacano> well, thanks dudes
[00:08] <broken> I had less issues with feisty then I had with gutsy so..
[00:08] <c0m4> dgjones: I want to try to downgrade
[00:08] <Jack_Sparrow> !downgrade
[00:08] <ubotu> Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system.
[00:08] <misslecommander> broken: jack_sparrow is telling you, it will reconfigure your vid settings
[00:08] <Michoacano> soundray, thanks
[00:08] <un_op> soldats, well, it depends on the context of the swearing really -- I didn't do it to offend anyone, i was just expressing sympathy for the guy with the 'rm -rf /' problem
[00:08] <soundray> Michoacano: where did you get this bad advice?
[00:08] <Gin> Jack_Sparrow, if it runs from ram, then firefox should start faster... than a normal OS on a hdd.
[00:08] <Michoacano> i am that guy
[00:08] <c0m4> sorry not downgrade but go back to the package before the update
[00:08] <soldats> un_op, np :P
[00:09] <Jack_Sparrow> broken: I had issues with video detection too..  I was able to fix it by reconfiguring
[00:09] <broken> It doesn't explain why my mouse isnt' working or keyboard..
[00:09] <karl> any one know why i'm getting this message in dmesg ...
[00:09] <karl> [  611.234108] hdc: request sense failure: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
[00:09] <karl> [  611.234121] hdc: request sense failure: error=0x04 { AbortedCommand }
[00:09] <fbc_> another thing, people keep talking to me about vesa. I use Mastercard. :-p
[00:09] <LjL> Michoacano: which guy?
[00:09] <c0m4> any one know where I can find archived deb packages ?
[00:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Gin: That is most likely not going to work the way you want
[00:09] <misslecommander> Jacl_sparrow: doesnt that fix ssues with mouse and ketboard as well ?
[00:10] <soundray> karl: is hdc a hard disk?
[00:10] <Michoacano> soundray, in #ubuntu-es
[00:10] <Jack_Sparrow> misslecommander: Usually , unless wireless or bluetooth etc
[00:10] <Michoacano> i am mexican
[00:10] <karl> hda is my hdd

[00:11] <johnficca> desktop effects could not be enabled, if I run compiz I get .: 3: Can't open /etc/xdg/compiz/compiz-manager.ubuntu

[00:11] <Michoacano> well dudes
[00:11] <Sniper223> Hi folks, I have a problem. Ubuntu has notified me of some updates but when I try to get them it says some of the packages could not be downloaded then I get a 403 forbidden error.
[00:11] <misslecommander> Jack_Sparrow: i had, dont know i still have, beeping when typing, after abotu an hour in here. i removed mod pc speaker. i will see if it does it again
[00:11] <c0m4> ohh I see the update of the package now!  ..I hope it will fix it
[00:11] <Michoacano> thanks ddudes
[00:11] <c0m4> tnx bye
[00:11] <Michoacano> you are god people
[00:11] <soundray> Michoacano: I would mention this to the ops in pm. Perhaps he can be stopped from ruining someone else's computer.
[00:11] <Jack_Sparrow> johnficca: You need to make surte your video card and monitor are setup correctly in order to use fx
[00:11] <Scubar> dont suppose anyone could help me install the nvidia drivers for my gfx card :|
[00:11] <Scubar> their installation seems to be a pita
[00:12] <Sniper223> anyoen else having this problem with the latest updates via the update manager
[00:12] <fbc_> ok, I'm going off line for a minute to reboot.. maybe that will help the situation.

[00:12] <goobsoft> Sniper, I had that problem
[00:12] <Sniper223> how did you fix it
[00:12] <broken> WHy does the live cd have the boot up graphic?
[00:12] <goobsoft> I changed my mirror from easynews to mirrors.kernel.org
[00:12] <Cleric> hello
[00:12] <Scubar> k ill take it that will fix the problem of it saying my kernel isnt recognised
[00:12] <Jack_Sparrow> johnficca: Look at your xorg.conf and see if it has changed.. have you installed or added anything recently
[00:12] <Michoacano> thanks dudes bye
[00:13] <karl> not sure; if i had to guess i'd say my dvd slot drive.
[00:13] <SpeakerMania> The download size says zero when I try to update my system. I also get these errors: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52502/
[00:13] <Think_Differentl> I've got a problem. Computer seems to hang while booting, last msg I see is usbcore registers a new interface driver hsbhid. I'm running 7.10
[00:13] <Sniper223> ahh so im assuming the mirror is just temporarily down?
[00:13] <TellStar> ive been using ubunut a few years.. and have a spare system.. what other Linux os  would u suggest. to a general user
[00:13] <SpeakerMania> I dunno
[00:13] <karl> only other ide drive in the machine
[00:13] <Jack_Sparrow> broken: It is most likely using generic vesa driver
[00:13] <IndyGunFreak> TellStar: well, I like pure Debian..
[00:13] <clearzen> TellStar: Debian is very similar to ubuntu
[00:13] <soundray> Michoacano: in that case, I would suggest you ignore it, unless you're experiencing other trouble as well
[00:13] <johnficca> Jack_Sparrow: yes kde 4...and I wouldn't know if anything in my xorg file has changed
[00:13] <TellStar> indigoblu  is it easy to use
[00:13] <goobsoft> I assume it's just misconfigured
[00:14] <benny269> Anyone know of a good open source disk image software?
[00:14]  * TellStar secure
[00:14] <broken> Jack_Sparrow, yea... but so does the default install.
[00:14] <goobsoft> Are you using easynews too?
[00:14] <broken> Until you enable a restricted driver.
[00:14] <clearzen> benny269: dd
[00:14] <IndyGunFreak> TellStar: Ubuntu/Debian, are very very similar.
[00:14]  * SpeakerMania wonders if the mirror is down
[00:14] <Think_Differentl> Now it hangs on EXT3-FS: sda1: orphan cleanup on readonly FS
[00:14] <TellStar> indigoblu  hows novell  doing these  days
[00:14] <IndyGunFreak> TellStar: if you're wanting to try a completely different experience, and you're looking at a Free distro, I'd probably look at PCLinuxOS
[00:14] <benny269> clearzen: can dd be used for windows as well as linux?
[00:14] <TellStar> thats sound good
[00:14] <Scubar> PCLinuxOS is pretty good
[00:15] <IndyGunFreak> TellStar: need to pay attention tot he name your typing to.., but I hate Suse.
[00:15] <Scubar> ive been testin it out on my usb pen
[00:15] <clearzen> benny269: not dd is a unix/linux tool
[00:15] <TellStar> oops
[00:15] <misslecommander> Jack_Sparrow: if people make changes to system, like vidcard settings, when they boot back into Ubuntu, will thier settings be preserved as if they didnt have the LiveCD in ?
[00:15] <soundray> benny269: it works on Windoes partitions
[00:15]  * IndyGunFreak has never ever had luck PCLinuxOS.
[00:15] <viator> whats the app called to change compiz settings
[00:15]  * SpeakerMania says PCLinuxOS is not a very good choice
[00:15] <clearzen> benny269: yeah, it will work for the windows partition
[00:15] <AriesNoSion_Gold> talking on linux distros, have anyone here experimented nexenta or desktopbsd?
[00:15] <TellStar> IndyGunFreak   gota a addie  for that os
[00:15] <soundray> benny269: you can get a version for Windows with Cygwin, but you can't image a Windows partition while you're running from it afaik
[00:15] <Nihilist_Nerd> isn't PCLOS basically Mandriva with different shininess?
[00:16] <Jack_Sparrow> misslecommander: I am afraid I dont understand the question..
[00:16] <karl> soundray:  got any suggestions
[00:16] <Scubar> nah its fedora
[00:16] <IndyGunFreak> TellStar: for what?.. PCLOS?  just google it, i think its pclinuxos.org
[00:16] <Scubar> with a diff coating
[00:16] <viator> whats the compiz settings thing called
[00:16] <SpeakerMania> viator: Get the Compiz Fusion Icon
[00:16]  * Nihilist_Nerd goes to #PCLinuxOS
[00:16] <TellStar> np thanks for your  time
[00:16] <Think_Differentl> Hmm. Now it hangs while the CD-ROM driver loads.
[00:16] <benny269> can you suggest distinct software for imaging which is best for windows?
[00:16] <IndyGunFreak> Nihilist_Nerd: PCLinuxOS and Mandriva used to be closely related, but they've drifted over the last couple years.
[00:16] <Jack_Sparrow> misslecommander: Are they running livecd and making changes or a hard drive install
[00:16] <Think_Differentl> any ideas?
[00:16] <soundray> karl: ignore it unless you get other trouble
[00:16] <Scubar> Acronis True Image
[00:16] <Scubar> is good for imaging
[00:17] <clearzen> benny269: dd takes a complete image of the disk. It's flexable too. No gui though.

[00:21] <karl> soundray:  on a 24/7 server
[00:21] <penol> :)
[00:22] <Jack_Sparrow> penol: Just format the partition or use it for data.. what ever you want
[00:22] <Scunizi> Anyone know of a way to read, edit and write out to a multipage tiff image?  I have fax docs I'd like to add text to then save in one file maintaining the multipage aspect of the file.
[00:22] <Think_Differentl> 7.10 hangs on boot on my system. Seems to hang at various points. Right now hangs on Uniform CD-ROM driver revision: 3.20
[00:22] <blizzow> Should I be using the nvidia-glx-new or nvidia-glx package for a geforce6200?
[00:22] <clearzen> penol: if you want to delete it just unmount the partition fire up gparted with gksu gparted and delete it.
[00:22] <michaelfavia> im in gnome and can copy most of my dvds onto my hard drive by right clicking on them and selecting the "Copy disc" context menu. but some of them re only 740KB which is obvioulsy a copy protection issue. anyone know what it is called or how to circumvent it? i just want to back up my dvds.
[00:22] <xybr1> What configuration do the desktop environments use that is different from the session manage/ login screen?
[00:22] <misslecommander> penol:  believe u can rid your system of it with the Ubuntu disc. removing Windows partitions, and reformat using Ubuntu formats
[00:22] <Jack_Sparrow> misslecommander: When you get a chance.. read up on using a sep /home partition...
[00:23] <Scubar> benny269 : Here ya go http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-windows.htm
[00:23] <penol> misslecommander, :P
[00:23] <misslecommander> Jack_Sparrow: ok
[00:23] <BRUCE_> hello! i need help configuring my graphics card can anyone help???
[00:23] <soundray> Scunizi: few programs that support tiff support multipage tiff. Best to convert your faxes to PDF
[00:23] <Scubar> ah damnit they have started charging for it
[00:24] <Jack_Sparrow> misslecommander: The basics are here..  http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome
[00:24] <soundray> Scubar: Windows software is offtopic here
[00:24] <Flannel> arang2: You should notify the maintainer about the new version, it'll go in Hardy
[00:24] <Jack_Sparrow> BRUCE_: What make/model of video card
[00:24] <Scunizi> soundray, I do do that eventually when emailing them out. But, I want to add to the document, save, do the same to another, save, then eventually merge all the files together to give to a client in pdf format.
[00:24] <Scubar> he was askin for it specifically soz
[00:24] <goobsoft> nvidia-settings returns "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver."  Can someone help me to get that working?
[00:24] <BRUCE_> VIA® Chrome9™ HC IGP (64MB shared memory, 128MB maximum) with DirectX 9.0 Support
[00:25] <misslecommander> Jack_Sparrow: good idea, moving to own partition. what partition format can be read by my windows installation ? ie FAT32 NTFS, others ?
[00:25] <michaelfavia> goobsoft, which version?
[00:25] <soundray> Scunizi: what's the problem?
[00:25] <goobsoft> I'm on gutsy
[00:25] <misslecommander> Jack_Sparrow: and still be read by linux
[00:25] <nemilar> misslecommander: ntfs is your best bet for linux+windows compatability
[00:25] <Jack_Sparrow> misslecommander: /home needs to be ext3
[00:25] <michaelfavia> and you have installed and activated the restricted driver?
[00:25] <michaelfavia> goobsoft,
[00:26] <nemilar> misslecommander: there's a windows ext3 driver but you have to install it seperately
[00:26] <arang2> Flannel: how do i notify the maintainer?
[00:26] <misslecommander> Jack_Sparrow: that will work
[00:26] <benny269> so where is this offtopic channel?
[00:26] <goobsoft> I believe so.  I Compiz is working and everything
[00:26] <deadlock> Can someone give me a hand setting up triple head, i'm having a hard time with the xorg format.
[00:26] <blizzow> should I be using nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-new for a geforce 6200?
[00:26] <michaelfavia> goobsoft, run restricted-manager
[00:26] <Jack_Sparrow> BRUCE_: Ugh..  you may get stuck with vesa mode only
[00:26] <misslecommander> nemilar: oh very cool, i will check that out, i like to have a backup of things,
[00:26] <penol> How to stop smoking with ubuntu linux?
[00:26] <Jack_Sparrow> misslecommander: If needed you can read from windows with an addon...
[00:26] <nemilar> yeah backups are always good
[00:26] <BRUCE_> what do you mean?
[00:26] <Ven]n> how to locate files that arent hidden?
[00:26] <goobsoft> It say enabled and in use
[00:26] <DjViper> penol: LOL
[00:27] <penol> :P
[00:27] <Ven]n> with the locate function
[00:27] <goobsoft> next to NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (latest cards)
[00:27] <misslecommander> Jack_Sparrow: thats perfect, certainly something i will prob want
[00:27] <DjViper> penol: great idea really
[00:27] <penol> mhm
[00:27] <misslecommander> !nvidia
[00:27] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[00:27] <DjViper> penol: "get busy with ubuntu, stop smoking today"
[00:27] <DjViper> :>
[00:27] <Jack_Sparrow> BRUCE_: Not sure we have a driver that will work and give you effects etc.
[00:27] <Scunizi> soundray, I receive faxes via email and need to add text. faxes are typically multipage. I save everything I get for a client and at the end package all the pages/files in a specific order and save to one file to burn and give to a client for their records
[00:27] <BRUCE_> yeah thats what ive been thinking
[00:27] <michaelfavia> goobsoft, and glxinfo looks friendly?
[00:28] <Jack_Sparrow> misslecommander: Let me know when you want to do it and I will hook you up with the addon and walk you through it
[00:28] <michaelfavia> or rather very long and intimidating
[00:28] <soundray> Scunizi: no need to repeat. Why not use PDF?
[00:28] <solidunit> is there a compiz optimization guide out there someplace? ie, settings in ccsm, settings xorg.conf, settings in nvidia-settings that can be tweaked for speed
[00:28] <DjViper> penol: if canonical started that campaign ubuntu would get a lot of support
[00:28] <misslecommander> blizzow: i am using the new nvidia drivers now, but when i first put them in, they system was really unstable. thats from my personal experience
[00:28] <goobsoft> What am I looking for?
[00:28] <patric> anyone got an idea how to backup the current system configuration so i don need to install all my packages again?
[00:28] <BRUCE_> thanx a e ways Mr. Jack
[00:28] <goobsoft> I'll pastebin
[00:28] <penol> haha
[00:28] <nemilar> patric: there's a program for that
[00:28] <nemilar> patric: one sec, I'll find it
[00:28] <Jack_Sparrow> !clone > patric
[00:28] <patric> ok that good
[00:28] <misslecommander> Jack_Sparrow thank you , saving bookmarks as i go along, and of course. my invaluable logfiles :)
[00:28] <Scottc> Ok!
[00:28] <Jack_Sparrow> BRUCE_: np
[00:28] <Scunizi> soundray, maybe I just don't know how to merge multiple pdf files into one.. is that what you're getting at.. can that be done?
[00:28] <goobsoft> http://pastebin.com/mcbd022b
[00:29] <Scottc> I've finally got this USB booting to work
[00:29] <patric> thx ill go find it
[00:29] <Darkmystere_> Is there a Gamtap Like client for Ubuntu not Exacly gametap something like it?
[00:29] <xybr1> Is there a per-user xorg.conf file?
[00:29] <amedx> Jack_Sparrow: hi !!!
[00:29] <nemilar> patric: http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/
[00:29] <Scottc> I should have gotten it working earlier, but I was retarded and was following two different guides
[00:29] <soundray> Scunizi: sure, there are various tools
[00:29] <Jack_Sparrow> amedx: Hello.. just getting ready to pack it in for the night...
[00:29] <misslecommander> Jack_Sparrow: i have copy of logfile on this partition, as well as the windows partition
[00:29] <Scunizi> soundray, pdfcreator I've tried.. it's problematic.. what would you suggest?
[00:29] <soundray> !info pdfjam | Scunizi
[00:29] <michaelfavia> goobsoft, paste your xorg.conf to pastebin for me pls
[00:29] <ubotu> scunizi: pdfjam: collection of PDF document handling utilities. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.20-2 (gutsy), package size 17 kB, installed size 112 kB
[00:29] <soundray> !info pdftk | Scunizi

[00:29] <Scottc> Now I have a question... When installing Ubuntu, for the Partionining part, is there any option that won't delete any of my other partitions?
[00:29] <penol> doh, i fired up a sigret
[00:29] <goobsoft> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52505/
[00:30] <penol> Smoke!
[00:30] <goobsoft> log : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52504/
[00:30] <Scunizi> soundray, nice..:) I'll look at them.. do they allow editing as well?
[00:30] <Jack_Sparrow> penol: Please dont do that in the channel
[00:30] <soldats> !ot | penol
[00:30] <soundray> Scunizi: no
[00:30] <syte> if the restricted drivers for gusty do not work for my 8600gt and envy also does not work, is there any alternative?
[00:30] <ubotu> penol: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[00:30] <soundray> !info flpsed | Scunizi
[00:30] <ubotu> scunizi: flpsed: a WYSIWYG pseudo PostScript editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.7-1.1ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 30 kB, installed size 140 kB
[00:30] <penol> soldats,  sry
[00:30] <Jack_Sparrow> !envy > syte
[00:30] <soundray> Scunizi: this one is cumbersome, though
[00:31] <Darkmystere_> !envy > Darkmystere
[00:31] <Darkmystere_> !envy | Darkmystere
[00:31] <ubotu> Darkmystere: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[00:31] <Scottc> In "Guided - resize SCSI3 (0,0,0),partition #1 (sda) and use freed space" delete anything on this partition?
[00:31] <Darkmystere_> oh
[00:31] <Darkmystere_> lol
[00:31] <Jack_Sparrow> Darkmystere_: Horrible script that does things you cant undo...  sort of like automatix....  almost as evil
[00:31] <Scunizi> soundray, you'd think with the linux fax progs that are available that there would be something specific ...:/
[00:32] <nemilar> What's the name of that program that's a clone of Time Machine for linux?
[00:32] <matthijs> Hello, what is the correct architecture for packages on GUTSY, i386 or... ?
[00:32] <Darkmystere_> Jack_Sparrow: I dont tend on gettin it, Btw is there a Client like Gametap? But for Linux and opensource or closed what ever
[00:32] <x3n0> has anyone here got a SideArch keyboard 0518:0001 EzKEY Corp.)...?
[00:32] <xybre_> Is there a per-user configuration file for X?
[00:32] <Scubar> what arch are u running
[00:32] <soundray> Scunizi: that's well possible, but my graphics expertise doesn't extend to fax ;)
[00:32] <Scubar> i386 or x64
[00:32] <syte> Jack_Sparrow: i have tried the binary drivers
[00:32] <xybre_> I want my dual monitors configured properly.
[00:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Darkmystere_: Never heard of gametap.. not much of a gamer...
[00:33] <amedx> bye
[00:33] <xybre_> They seem to work fine on the loggin screen, but not once I get to my desktop.
[00:33] <xybre_> Help?
[00:33] <Darkmystere_> Jack_Sparrow: Basicly a client that lets u download and play all the games it has on database but in a nice GUI Alot of games..
[00:33] <Jack_Sparrow> syte: SInce you also tried envy.. we cant do much to help you
[00:33] <michaelfavia> xybre_, nvidia?
[00:33] <Scunizi> soundray, gimp will load the tiff's and present each page in it's own layer.. easy enough.. but won't allow me to print each page individually into one file. :(
[00:33] <Flannel> arang2: Look in the package details, and there'll be an email address
[00:33] <Scottc> Does anyone here know how I can create a seperate partition without harming any of my existing partitions for which to install Ubuntu on?
[00:33] <arang2> Flannel: ok
[00:33] <xybre_> michaelfavia: ati radeon X1300
[00:34] <matthijs> Scubar, but with i386 I won't get mmx support ... right?
[00:34] <Scubar> just resize your main partition and create a new one from the free space
[00:34] <michaelfavia> xybre_, sorry im an nvidia guy... good luck.
[00:34] <rem> nvidia 5200
[00:34] <Scubar> mmx is an old instruction
[00:34] <family> please i need help please. I need help to share or bridge my wireless card and ethernet card
[00:34] <syte> Jack_Sparrow, o :(. Argh, i want to get 3D acceleration working with my new card. I guess if i wanted it to work i'd be forced to go back to my x700 :(
[00:34] <matthijs> yes, but unsupported on an i386
[00:34] <soundray> Scunizi: I'm sure gimp lets you "explode" a multilayer image into separate images
[00:34] <michaelfavia> soundray, indeed.
[00:34] <xybre_> Can you tell me why the login screen shows as configured properly but gnome/xfce doesn't?
[00:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Scottc: If you resize a partition, any partition.. the uuid will change and require some editing on your part.  Adding a partition below your install will change the numbers for all partitions past the one you created
[00:34] <matthijs> can't imagine ubuntu running with i386 binaries.
[00:35] <Scunizi> soundray, never tried that..
[00:35] <misslecommander> you can us GParted much like Partiton Magic , resizing partitions ?
[00:35] <goobsoft> michaelfavia, do you see anything I could change with my X config?
[00:35] <soundray> michaelfavia: can you give Scunizi (and me) a pointer on how  to do it?
[00:35] <Scubar> im gettin the i386 now because there seems to be more apps for it
[00:35] <Scubar> cant even install opera on amd64 kubunut :(
[00:35] <Jack_Sparrow> syte: That nvidia card will give you good effects... when the drivers and monitor are setup correctly.
[00:35] <h1st0> Scubar: vs. what?
[00:35] <bassinboy> what program launches "
[00:35] <bassinboy> Restricted Driver Manager
[00:35] <Scunizi> michaelfavia, please
[00:35] <h1st0> Scubar: yeah just use 32bit
[00:36] <pingu> is there a reason i cant play some streaming videos on the net or they will start and then freeze
[00:36] <nemilar> misslecommander: I've used gparted to resize an ntfs partition a couple of times...but onetime it really screwed up and I spent a few hours recovering the filesystem
[00:36] <Scubar> it wont install at all though
[00:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Goodnight all... Play nice
[00:36] <h1st0> pingu: No should be working
[00:36] <pike_> pingu: i rarely have a problem with flash or other formats these days
[00:36] <Psynaut> Could anyone help me with setting up my microphone? I am getting this error "gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open resource for writing."
[00:36] <nemilar> pingu: flash or what?
[00:36] <misslecommander> nemilar: thank you for the heads-up, i am typically careful when making/modifying partitions
[00:36]  * xybre_ falls over
[00:36] <family> anyone know how to internet connection share or bridge a wireless card and a ethernet card?
[00:36] <Scubar> oh yea cant use adobe plugins either on amd64 :|
[00:36] <nemilar> misslecommander: yeah, it's dangerous business...  Norton PartitionMagic is the best tool I know of
[00:37] <soundray> pike_: just wait till someone sends you a MS Publisher file ;)
[00:37] <Scubar> Family : Solder them together :D
[00:37] <family> scubar very funny
[00:37] <family> i have been trying to do it for the past month
[00:37] <family> and cant get the darn thing to work
[00:37] <misslecommander> nemilar: used it plenty of times, infact, i used it to make all the partitons on this sytem, with excepting to the one i left blank for the Ubuntu install
[00:37] <pike_> family: firestarter makes this easier for you nice gui interface
[00:37] <nemilar> yeah, bridging is mad easy under windows
[00:37] <nemilar> it needs to be easier in linux
[00:37] <Scubar> yea
[00:37] <bassinboy> how can i get to Restricted Driver Manager from xubuntu?
[00:37] <Scubar> could tell u windows way easily
[00:38] <Scubar> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[00:38] <nemilar> Scubar: yeah, it's just point and right-click
[00:38] <family> pike i tried firestarter but my xbox has problems connecting through xlink kai
[00:38] <Scubar> ^^ read @ bassinboy
[00:38] <family> although the xbox did connect to the internet
[00:38] <benny269> Just connected my laptop to my PC (both run Ubuntu) by ethernet via a router. How can I access PC files through the laptop?
[00:38] <misslecommander> nemilar: when i first installed i wasnt expectng to have to make room for a swapdrive, so i will need to rezize one of them, so i can make use of it
[00:38] <h1st0> nemilar: I've never really needed to bridge a connection
[00:38] <syte> Someone told me that i should try apic in order to get my drivers to work. Does disabling apic affect the graphics card?
[00:38] <pike_> family: are you using static ip? im assuming you arent running dhcp server
[00:38] <family> so it works but doesnt work if that makes sence
[00:39] <family> pike on the ethernet card static ip yes
[00:39] <nemilar> benny269: there's about a billion ways... Everything from Samba to SSHFS
[00:39] <Edwardxp> family,  so its' the same but different :)
[00:39] <family> wireless card no dhcp
[00:39] <pike_> family: oh so do you have that port forwarded in firestarter?
[00:39] <h1st0> family: sudo dhclient
[00:39] <pingu> well the lost episodes on abc.com

[00:45] <nemilar> lol flooding
[00:45] <Gizmo_The_Great> I've never understood this - when you first install Ubuntu and add a new user, they can navigate, browse and read the files in other users home folders.../home/user1 etc. Why is this and is the only way to prevent it by denying access of your ~/ folder?
[00:45] <^pipe^> i think i have this problem since i updated yesterday
[00:45] <h1st0> ^pipe^: update the system to get the new xorg
[00:45] <h1st0> ^pipe^: and how did you install vlc?
[00:45] <^pipe^> sudo apt-get install vlc
[00:45] <nemilar> benny269: are there any windows machines on the network you want to share with?
[00:45] <^pipe^> i already had it installed
[00:45] <IcemanV9> Scottc: hit 'Esc' key .. pick one of two OS on your box
[00:46] <h1st0> ^pipe^: there was a bug in xorg packages earlier that ruined some java apps
[00:46] <^pipe^> but since i had this problem i removed, deleted .vlc and install it again
[00:46] <^pipe^> aha
[00:46] <Starnestommy> and some wx apps like vlc
[00:46] <nemilar> h1st0: vlc is written in java??
[00:46] <benny269> nemilar: well the PC is actually a dual boot xp/ubuntu which im operating through ubuntu at the moment, but i want to access files on the windows partition
[00:46] <h1st0> nemilar: no but who knows what else the bad update broke.
[00:47] <h1st0> benny269: you can just mount the windows partition.
[00:47] <Scottc> hmm
[00:47] <soundray> cvd: still here?
[00:47] <h1st0> benny269: it usually is set up this way by default from the installer.
[00:47] <imbezol> so ubuntu has no /etc/inittab... does init default to runlevel 2 or how is it specified?
[00:47] <nemilar> benny269: once you've got sharing setup, just right-click on the folder you want to share and click "share folder"
[00:47] <cvd> yep
[00:47] <^pipe^> ok, installing new xserver core
[00:47] <Scottc> Do I need to get graphics card and sound card drivers for Ubuntu?
[00:47] <^pipe^> i'll report back
[00:47] <^pipe^> thanks
[00:48] <h1st0> benny269: do and fdisk -l to figure out where your windows drive is.  Then just mount that drive to a folder you want.
[00:48] <cvd> what soundray
[00:48] <nickrud> imbezol: /etc/event.d is the replacement for inittab
[00:48] <h1st0> benny269: ex: sudo mkdir /media/windows  && mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows
[00:48] <Darkmystere_> How come wireshark shows no Interfaces Do i need somthing special to egt it to show my wireless interface?
[00:48] <Starnestommy> Darkmystere_: run it as root?
[00:48] <soundray> cvd: do a "Insert Frame", then put your text in the frame. Click the frame so it's highlighted, then right-click and select Frame. On the Options tab, at the bottom, you can select the text direction.
[00:48] <erawfish> Darkmystere_: it needs to run as root
[00:48] <Darkmystere_> theres two versions..
[00:49] <Darkmystere_> 1 wireshark and the
[00:49] <cvd> ok thanks
[00:49] <Darkmystere_> Wireshark (as Root..
[00:49] <Starnestommy> use the second one
[00:49] <Saelynh> how, oops
[00:49] <Saelynh> hello there..
[00:49] <benny269> h1st0: ok explain this a little more clearly. i have samba on both machines. mounting the drive does what? I want to be able to copy all files on the windows partition of the ubuntu PC onto the ubuntu laptop?
[00:50] <nemilar> benny269: if you want to access files on your windows partition, it needs to be mounted..but typically ubuntu will do that for you on startup
[00:50] <Saelynh> the xserver pakage is really shure now ?
[00:50] <nemilar> benny269:  if you run the command 'mount' it will show you a list of mounted drives
[00:50] <edmont> i'm having some trouble with my wifi
[00:50] <h1st0> benny269: you where talking about accessing your windows files on yoru dual boot system weren't you?
[00:50] <h1st0> benny269: if you are talking about over the network samba is the way to go.
[00:50] <HiddenHeroDK> configure: error: *** uuid library (libuuid) not found
[00:50] <HiddenHeroDK> what does it mean?
[00:50] <nemilar> h1st0: he wants to enable filesharing over the network, and also be able to access files on his windows partition under ubuntu
[00:51] <imbezol> nickrud: ah. thanks. i see /etc/event.d/rc-default selects runlevel 2 if it doesn't see single on the commandline and no inittab exists
[00:51] <nemilar> so I told him to enable sharing via samba
[00:51] <edmont> first: whenever i restart, networking config is lost and i have to reconfigure it in order to it to connect
[00:51] <imbezol> nickrud: i wonder though.. what runs /etc/event.d/rc-default ?
[00:51] <Scubar> i think benny might be confused between samba and sharing and mounting the partition
[00:51] <Scubar> :|
[00:51] <family> okay i have prepared my question with more information http://www.pastebin.ca/861895 im trying to ics my eth and wlan card
[00:51] <h1st0> benny269: well I was talking specifically about accesing your window partition on the dual boot machine.
[00:51] <h1st0> benny269: but www.ubuntuguide.org has a great howto on setting up samba
[00:51] <benny269> nemilar: ok the windows drive is mounted and on the desktop but i want to access it over the network. also when i right-click share a file do i want to do it through the windows or unix networks?
[00:51] <Scubar> samba might be difficult if both disks are in the same pc :)
[00:52] <HiddenHeroDK> configure: error: *** uuid library (libuuid) not found what does it means???
[00:52] <edmont> and second, after a while of running transmission (bittorrent client) connection is lost and the only way to get it working again is to restart
[00:52] <nemilar> Scubar: he's talking about over the network
[00:52] <^pipe^> hi guys
[00:52] <^pipe^> vlc working now
[00:52] <^pipe^> many thanks
[00:52] <Scubar> ah
[00:52] <family> dang it eth1 is suppose to be eth0
[00:52] <Jimdb> OK, I just performed the latest updates that were available today from the normal ubuntu repositories and when I attempt to log in (enter username and password) it just recycles back to the log in.  What's up with that?
[00:52] <nemilar> benny269: use windows networks, SMB
[00:52] <nemilar> benny269: SMB = samba
[00:52] <Starnestommy> HiddenHeroDK: do sudo apt-get install libuuid
[00:52] <nickrud> imbezol: it's part of the upstart system, I 'believe' init calls upstart. But you should probably cruise wiki.ubuntu.com to get the right info
[00:52] <benny269> h1st0: I do want to access it over the network but i cant understand those guides. too much jargon
[00:53] <gabspeck> today i decided to check out the gnash plugin, so i removed the flashplugin-nonfree packaged and installed mozilla-plugin-gnash. after playing with it, i removed it and reinstalled flashplugin-nonfree. sound in flash is not working for me if a multimedia program such as rhythmbox since i did so. i'm using hardy.. any help?
[00:53]  * IcemanV9 is confused with vbox & bridging network - arrgh!
[00:53] <h1st0> benny269: just right click ont he folder you want ot share and enable sharing
[00:53] <gabspeck> *such as rhythmbox is open at the same time
[00:53] <nickrud> gabspeck: you should ask on #ubuntu+1 about hardy
[00:53] <h1st0> benny269: if you want it to not prompt for user and password you will have to edit a file
[00:53] <Tomasso> can anyone tell the name of a text mode X server configurator ?
[00:53] <Saelynh> the xserver pakage is really shure now ?
[00:53] <gabspeck> nickrud: oh ok thanks and sorry
[00:53] <nickrud> Tomasso: sudo dkpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[00:53] <h1st0> benny269: sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf and change the line from security = user to security = share
[00:54] <nemilar> benny269: it's best to use a user/password setup, especially if you have wifi
[00:54] <family> okay heres the new mock up http://www.pastebin.ca/861900 this is exactly how i tried to ics my connections
[00:54] <Tomasso> for some reason my gnome only shows a clock a the beginning, and it keeps there forever
[00:54] <imbezol> nickrud: heh.. ok.. 'upstart' is new to me too...
[00:54] <nickrud> gabspeck: most of the people here don't run hardy yet, so simply don't know. Wasn't meant to be harse :)
[00:54] <benny269> h1st0: i've shared the folders i want but when i click on the icon for the PC drive on the laptop it just says folder content could not be displayed?
[00:54] <Scottc> wonderful!
[00:55] <h1st0> benny269: did you make sure you shared it for windows users?
[00:55] <benny269> nemilar: its a hardwired connection and a temporary setup for saving files while i reinstall windows
[00:55] <Scottc> Thanks to Ubuntu my windows XP bluescreens on startup!
[00:55] <Scubar> excellent
[00:55] <Scubar> stupid windows xp
[00:55] <imbezol> sweet.. it worked!
[00:55] <Scottc> so much for dual booting
[00:55] <benny269> h1st0: how do i share it for windows users?
[00:55] <Scottc> lol
[00:55] <nemilar> benny269: oh, if it's only temperary, you might as well just use sftp or something, instead of going through the hassle of setting up samba
[00:55] <Scubar> just restore the mbr
[00:55] <nickrud> imbezol: I read up on it briefly, but I found what I needed in /etc/event.d. I'm more of a switch toggler than a switch maker, so I didn't go much deeper
[00:55] <h1st0> benny269: when you right click and select share it has a checkbox for windows
[00:55] <benny269> h1st0: yes  i did that
[00:55] <Scubar> then setup the bootloader again n see if it still does it
[00:55] <Scottc> now I get to waste time making this shit work
[00:55] <family> im going to check with kubuntu also
[00:56] <benny269> nemilar: i dont care how i set it up as long as it works
[00:56] <Scottc> and if I have to reinstall winxp, all the drivers, and all the thousands of security updates i'm going to be really pissed
[00:56] <cvd> soundry, doesnot work
[00:56] <benny269> nemilar: the quickest and easiest solution is fine
[00:56] <imbezol> nickrud: i originally started just wanted to change what started at boot and installing and running rcconf did that for me but i like to take things apart ):
[00:56] <Scubar> whats the bluescreen error
[00:57] <Scubar> should give u debug info that u can google
[00:57] <Scubar> make it easier to fix
[00:57] <Scottc> it won't let me read
[00:57] <Scottc> it just reboots
[00:57] <Scubar> oh u have it tset to autoreboot
[00:57] <Scubar> lol
[00:57] <Scottc> can that be changed?
[00:57] <Scubar> fun fun
[00:57] <Scottc> I never set it to that, it probably defaults
[00:57] <Scubar> yea
[00:57] <benny269> nemilar: what is a simple alternative to samba?
[00:57] <Scubar> thats its default to reboot on bsod
[00:57] <CruCio> Anyone here using ubuntu on ps3 ?
[00:57] <CruCio> please !!
[00:57] <nemilar> benny269: just install the package openssh-server
[00:57] <benny269> h1st0: what is a simple alternative to samba?
[00:57] <cvd> i just resize the frame to one character, so automaticaly do it
[00:58] <nemilar> benny269: then use the GFTP program to transfer the files, using your login name and password
[00:58] <h1st0> benny269: there isn't samba just works
[00:58] <nemilar> benny269: easy as pie
[00:58] <Scottc> well... I guess Ubuntu can't be trusted to resize partitions
[00:58] <h1st0> benny269: can the other pcs see the folder?
[00:58] <CruCio> anyone using Ubuntu on ps3 ??
[00:58] <Scubar> if u got ur winxp cd pop that in and use the recovery console
[00:58] <Scottc> thats what I intend to do
[00:58] <benny269> nemilar: which program do i install on which machine?
[00:58] <osmosis> what do I install to get gcc and everyting in need to make and compile
[00:58] <h1st0> osmosis: build-essentials
[00:58] <nemilar> benny269: on the machine that has the files you want, install openssh-server
[00:58] <regeya> recovery console...indispensible
[00:58] <huadpe> Hi, can anyone help me connect to my office's server, I can't figure out the GUI menu for it.
[00:58] <Scottc> and hopefully it'll work
[00:58] <benny269> h1st0: the laptop can see the PC hard drive folder
[00:58] <h1st0> nemilar: no just samba will do the trick
[00:59] <Scubar> it should work fine
[00:59] <h1st0> benny269: okay?
[00:59] <nemilar> benny269: then from either machine, run GFTP (installed in ubuntu by default in the internet menu), login to the other mahcine and transfer the files
[00:59] <Scubar> then ull just have to setup the bootloader again
[00:59] <huadpe> I have an IP for the server, with a username and pw for the account on the server.
[00:59] <h1st0> benny269: open a terminal and sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
[00:59] <family> scubar
[00:59] <nemilar> h1st0: this is easier, he's only doing it once, and he's wiping afterwards
[00:59] <Psynaut> Does anyone know how to fix "Failed to construct test pipeline for 'gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat'" while setting up the microphone in the pref>sound panel in 7.10?
[00:59] <nemilar> h1st0: don't make him edit crap in the terminal if he doesn't have to
[00:59] <family> hey could you help me you were before
[00:59] <family> http://www.pastebin.ca/861900
[00:59] <benny269> h1st0: which machine?
[00:59] <h1st0> nemilar: he does to get samba working
[00:59] <andi5> huadpe: is there an ssh server running or what else?
[00:59] <h1st0> benny269: the linux computer with the share
[00:59] <nemilar> h1st0: he doesn't have to use samba
[01:00] <{Nathan}> My mirrors are really slow (about 30KiB/s). How can I pick or find new ones that hopefully give me better speeds?
[01:00] <h1st0> nemilar: well ssh is not what he wants
[01:00] <nemilar> h1st0: he can just transfer the files using sftp, really easily
[01:00] <theunixgeek> {Nathan}: you could always try torrent. :)
[01:00] <h1st0> nemilar: but he wants windows networking out of ubuntu
[01:00] <huadpe> it's a windows server, i don't need shell access, i just need a file browser
[01:00] <nemilar> h1st0: he WANTS to transfer a bunch of files as a backup for a format
[01:00] <{Nathan}> theunixgeek: I'm talking about apt-get
[01:00] <Scubar> family : might be worth waiting for one of the expert ppl to help u with that
[01:00] <{Nathan}> theunixgeek: my sources.list
[01:00] <nemilar> h1st0: no, that isn't what he wants
[01:00] <andi5> huadpe: or have you tried to point your brower to that ip?
[01:00] <huadpe> I don't think my account on it allows me to have a shell
[01:00] <theunixgeek> {Nathan}: oh
[01:00] <misslecommander_> my screen resolution just reset to 640x480, for what reason might it do that ?
[01:00] <misslecommander_> 50hz
[01:00] <h1st0> benny269: The linux computer is the one with the share right?
[01:00] <Scubar> im still learnin linux myself so i wouldnt be much use
[01:00] <family> thanks :)
[01:01] <andi5> huadpe: browser, even
[01:01] <huadpe> andi5: tried on firefix, didnt load anything
[01:01] <h1st0> nemilar: why would he install all that garbage rather than just edit one line in a config?
[01:01] <edmont> i'm having some trouble with my wifi
[01:01] <edmont> and second, after a while of running transmission (bittorrent client) connection is lost and the only way to get it working again is to restart
[01:01] <edmont> first: whenever i restart, networking config is lost and i have to reconfigure it in order to it to connect
[01:01] <nemilar> h1st0: because it's quicker
[01:01] <misslecommander_> system locks up, then video reset to 640x480, freezes happen, but why it randomly change video res ?
[01:01] <h1st0> nemilar: not to mention installing sftp onthe other computer
[01:01] <Scubar> what are u trying to do exactely with ur wired and wireless ?
[01:01] <benny269> h1st0: both are linux comps, the PC has a windows partition where the files i want are kept, the laptop is where i want to access them
[01:01] <IcemanV9> !resolution | misslecommander_
[01:01] <ubotu> misslecommander_: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[01:01] <nemilar> h1st0: you only have to have sftp on one computer
[01:01] <nemilar> sftpd, more correctly
[01:01] <h1st0> benny269: so the files you want are on the windows machine?
[01:01] <nemilar> or, sshd+sftp-server
[01:02] <nemilar> h1st0: there are no windows machines, if you are paying attention
[01:02] <nemilar> h1st0: there's a duel-boot but both are under linux
[01:02] <andi5> huadpe: if you do not know how to connect to it, you might want to try a port scan on it :-)  ... but make sure that you do not get blocked completely
[01:02] <misslecommander_> IcemanV9: thank you
[01:02] <benny269> h1st0: yes
[01:02] <Gizmo_The_Great> When you first install Ubuntu and add a new user, they can navigate, browse and read the files in other users home folders.../home/user1 etc. Is the only way to prevent it by denying access of your ~/ folder?
[01:02] <h1st0> nemilar: then he just needs to mount the windows drive and share under NFS no software to install
[01:02] <Pirate_Hunter> oh yeah need to find out the model of a motherboard how do I do so and also need to fins out which type of RAM sticks it takes?
[01:02] <Scubar> u trying to share ur wired card to broadcast over ur wireless ?
[01:02] <Scubar> @ family
[01:02] <benny269> nemilar: when i search for openssh-server in synaptic nothing comes up?
[01:02] <nemilar> h1st0: but this is easier than editing .conf files, which is a painintheass
[01:02] <h1st0> benny269: then just boot in windows and share the files.  Just browse the network in ubuntu and download them.
[01:03] <nemilar> benny269: just do an apt-get install openssh-server
[01:03] <nemilar> benny269: or that works, too, what h1st0 just said
[01:03] <huadpe> andi5: It seems like there should be a simple solution for this.  The only point of this server is for remote login.
[01:03]  * IcemanV9 gives up on vbox & bridging network
[01:03] <Pelo> Pirate_Hunter,look it up in your cmputer manual or or the makers website for the specs
[01:03] <benny269> h1st0: i cant boot the windows drive thats the problem, the reason im doing the reinstall
[01:03] <nemilar> oh, lol, then it doesn't work
[01:03] <h1st0> benny269: okay well then mount the windows drive in ubuntu
[01:03] <h1st0> benny269: and share the files
[01:04] <Scubar> why cant u boot the windows drive ?
[01:04] <h1st0> nemilar: either way he has to mount the drive
[01:04] <nemilar> it's already mounted dude
[01:04] <h1st0> benny269: opena  terminal on the dual boot machine
[01:04] <nemilar> pay attention plz
[01:04] <andi5> huadpe: "remote login" meaning what if not shell (telnet or ssh)?  is there some special windows server program running you did not mention or vnc?
[01:04] <Scubar> gotta be a reason why u cant boot it , its most likely fixable
[01:04] <h1st0> benny269: well he didn't say that.
[01:04] <benny269> h1st0: its open
[01:04] <h1st0> benny269: if the windows partition is already mounted just share it using nfs
[01:04] <PaPaFD> Having trouble with a multiplayer game being unable to resolve the local host IP.  The same system has a windows partition and it works fine from XP so I dont think it can be a router issue.  My understanding is that linux just gives the remote host the Address <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:04] <huadpe> It's windows server 2003.  I just want to be able to have it in a file browser and download some files.
[01:04] <h1st0> benny269: then browse the network on the other machine and you can copy the files
[01:05] <Pirate_Hunter> Pelo: the comp aint mine it was left by a friend but since it seems he dont want it, I wish to buy parts for it but i dont know what is the make of the motherboard and the type of RAM it takes "he took those out and his no comp sap so he wouldt know"
[01:05] <h1st0> benny269: assuming both are running linux
[01:05] <linxeh> PaPaFD: did you butcher the /etc/hosts file ?
[01:05] <family> scubar @ family?
[01:05] <linxeh> PaPaFD: there should be a line that says   <IP_ADDRESS>   localhost      and not much else
[01:05] <h1st0> benny269: on the dualboot machine right click onthe mount and share using nfs.  On the other linux machine just browse the network and copy the files
[01:05] <Scubar> ur trying to share ur wired connection from ur wireless internet connection ?
[01:05] <misslecommander> IcemanV9: i will run it in this mode for a while, see if i get the freezes, for diag reasons.
[01:06] <andi5> huadpe: have you tried to access it with the file browser via places > connect to server?
[01:06] <Pelo> Pirate_Hunter, try opening the box and looking at the mobo for an ident number, then google it
[01:06] <benny269> h1st0: i have but it doesnt work! both run linux, the laptop has the name of the pc showing as a samba folder, double-clicking it gives an error
[01:06] <family> im trying to share my wireless with my wired :)
[01:06] <PaPaFD> linxeh I tried adding my <internet IP> hostname  didnt help
[01:06] <Pelo> Pirate_Hunter, notmuch I can dofor you this front , maybe taking it to a local store they can try and figure it out
[01:06] <h1st0> benny269: don't use samba use NFS
[01:06] <nemilar> h1st0: he would have been transfering the files already with sftp
[01:06] <misslecommander> IcemanV9: can i run > sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  from Recovery Mode, if need be ?
[01:06] <huadpe> andi5: I cant figure out what to type in to the connect to server menu.  There is no password option in any of the choices.
[01:06] <family> yes i read what you said again yep thats it
[01:06] <zea> hi all :)
[01:06] <linxeh> PaPaFD: whats on the localhost line though? and whats in /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf ?
[01:06] <Saelynh> the xserver pakage is really shure now ?
[01:06] <h1st0> benny269: they are both linux machines.  I didn't understand that atfirst.  If they are both linux just use NFS
[01:06] <Pelo> Pirate_Hunter, is this a brand name computer ? like compact or dell ?
[01:07] <andi5> huadpe: i think it will ask you for a password at a later step
[01:07] <Pirate_Hunter> Pelo: nah i will find out some how, I already know its a dell comp lol
[01:07] <benny269> h1st0: whats nfs and HOW do i use it?
[01:07] <andi5> family: does your wireless router support a bridged mode?
[01:07] <family> http://www.pastebin.ca/861900 heres what i did scubar http://www.pastebin.ca/861900
[01:07] <zea> i have a problem installing software, i have a error message allways like this: http://pastebin.com/d4d04c018
[01:07] <h1st0> benny269: its the other checkbox when you right click and go to sharing.  It says use unix NFS
[01:07] <zea> anybody can dropme a line?
[01:07] <Pelo> Pirate_Hunter, if you can figrue out the dell model from a tag on the case or someting , try figuring it out from the dell website
[01:07] <il312> I have a question: is there a way to just copy the entire contents of a Linux system/partition onto an external harddrive?
[01:07] <linxeh> benny269: read the NFS howto, or check the ubuntu wiki (or the billion and one google hits for "NFS")
[01:08] <family> andi my ethernet and my wireless cards are all in one computer but yes my router supports bridge mode
[01:08] <Pelo> il312, yes
[01:08] <benny269> linxeh: all of them read like an electronics manual

[01:08] <nemilar> benny269: don't bother with NFS, it's not worth it...just install openssh-server, go to the other machine, gftp over and copy the files
[01:08] <Scubar> have you tried this @ family http://www.howtoforge.com/internet-connection-sharing-masquerading-on-linux
[01:08] <Sonic-O-Mega> how do I move windows to the top of the bootlist above ubuntu
[01:09] <misslecommander> can i run > sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg within RecoveryMode ?
[01:09] <family> hmm ill look at that
[01:09] <ushimitsudoki> I can not longer log in normally...after entering my user/pass at the login, the screen drop to text mode and a few lines appear, the last of which is something like "running local startup scripts (/etc/rc.local)", after a brief pause, I am returned to the login screen. However, Failsafe GNOME works. My rc.local file doesn't have anything in it except comments and "exit 0". I did install, but have removed bootchart. Where sh
[01:09] <Pelo> misslecommander, yes you can
[01:09] <h1st0> benny269: I agree the documentation is a little hard to understand at first
[01:09] <misslecommander> Pelo: thank you
[01:09] <andi5> family: so you want to bridge two linux network devices?  the bridge-utils package should help you
[01:09] <h1st0> benny269: did you get it workign with nfs?
[01:09] <benny269> h1st0: trying to figure out which host to allow etc?
[01:09] <huadpe> @andi5 I've been trying, It keeps failing.
[01:10] <family> andi ill take a look into that too
[01:10] <nemilar> benny269: on the machine with the files, run 'sudo apt-get install openssh-server' and then go to the other machine, open gftp, enter the IP and your username/password of the other machine, and just copy the files
[01:10] <benny269> nemilar: let me finish this, if it doesnt work ill try your way
[01:10] <nemilar> benny269: g/l
[01:10] <benny269> nemilar: thanks
[01:10] <andi5> huadpe: does it ask you for a password?
[01:11] <huadpe> andi5: no, it just says "could not open ftp://editors@ip [break] service not available
[01:11] <benny269> h1st0: do i allow by hostname, ip address or network?
[01:12] <andi5> huadpe: i do not know the english term, but i assume you chose "windows share"?
[01:12] <Sonic-O-Mega> how do I get rid of ubuntu so I only have windows
[01:12] <erider> is there a program to transfer files to and from a window mobile phone
[01:12] <linxeh> PaPaFD: you might want to remove FDLINUX from the localhost line and add a separate entry with its network IP (if you can). what game is having problems?
[01:12] <Sonic-O-Mega> I don't need ubuntu anymore ,its more work then fun
[01:12] <h1st0> benny269: that up to you.  You can allow the hostname of the other computer or the ip adress of the other computer or the network.
[01:12] <PriceChild> !windows | Sonic-O-Mega

[01:12] <huadpe> andi5: public FTP, private FTP and windows share
[01:12] <icesword> Sonic-O-Mega, your question is not welcome
[01:12] <nemilar> Sonic-O-Mega: burn a gparted liveCD, remove the linux partitions, and expand your NTFS partition to take up the whole drive
[01:12] <h1st0> benny269: any of which will work.
[01:13] <h1st0> nemilar: samba is so much easier just changing one word int he config.  from user to share
[01:13] <benny269> h1st0: what is the easiest to find out? i think i would prefer hostname but i need your help finding it again i cant remember what I set it to?
[01:13] <PaPaFD> linxeh: IL2    would i want the IP at the router or the Actual IP I have on the internet?
[01:13] <il312> nemilar: could one do that with a windows partitioning program?
[01:13] <nemilar> h1st0: I'd argue that sftp is easier
[01:13] <Sonic-O-Mega> k ty nemilar
[01:13] <tzanger> good evening everyone
[01:13] <nemilar> il312: windows can't read ext3 my default
[01:13] <h1st0> benny269: what are the options for network
[01:13] <nemilar> il312: it could be done in partition magic
[01:13] <h1st0> benny269: is it an ip range?
[01:13] <Scubar> u worked it out yet family ?
[01:14] <Sonic-O-Mega> why did someone type !windows when I asked how to uninstall ubuntu
[01:14] <nemilar> Sonic-O-Mega: http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/
[01:14] <family> still trying
[01:14] <Sonic-O-Mega> thats just random
[01:14] <family> :)
[01:14] <Pelo> nemilar, fyi , gparted doesn't let you expand ntfs partitions, and removing the ubuntu partititon will break grub, he will need to repair is windows boot
[01:14] <Scubar> im pretty sure i got it worked out for ya
[01:14] <Sonic-O-Mega> k ty
[01:14] <tzanger> I have a 7.04 system with two ATI cards using the radeon driver in mergedfb mode to give me an extended desktop.  this worked great for many months.  I've dist-upgraded it ot 7.10, and now the same xorg.conf doesn't seem to work.  the screens are there, but they are mirrored now
[01:14] <nemilar> Pelo: oooh good good good point
[01:14] <il312> nemilar: Symantec's Partition Magic 8 recognizes it, but I haven't tried to edit the partitions at all through that.
[01:14] <arnaldo> oi
[01:14] <tzanger> I can't seem to coerce the new system into doing what I want
[01:14] <benny269> h1st0: it asks for a network and netmask. i would prefer hostname tbh
[01:14] <Pelo> Sonic-O-Mega, you want ot know hwo to make your windows the only os on yoru comp, ask in ##windows
[01:14] <Dr_willis> tzanger,  use a hammer. :)
[01:14] <family> i just deleted the iptables
[01:14] <Scottc> how can I find out which partitions are which?
[01:14] <tzanger> Dr_willis: the thought did cross my mind :-)
[01:14] <Scubar> family : set your eth0 a private ip eg <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:14] <Scottc> under ubuntu
[01:15] <Scubar> set the pc ur trying to get setup on the shared conenction to a private ip
[01:15] <Scubar> <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:15] <h1st0> benny269: just do it nemilar's way if you don't want to edit config.
[01:15] <Scubar> set the gateway as the <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:15] <family> k
[01:15] <nemilar> h1st0: editing config files isn't something an end-user should have to do, ever
[01:15] <huadpe> andi5: I got the server mounted on the windows option for "connect to server," but I can't display any content because i didn't get a password prompt
[01:15] <Sentix> Hello, anyone know why Grub would post error 18 on a stable ( +3 month old) ubuntu install?
[01:15] <h1st0> benny269: just FYI samba would be the best way but you're making it difficult not wanting to change one work in the config.
[01:16] <Scubar> then in iptables put the following : iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
[01:16] <zea> hello, i have a problem installing software, i have a error message allways like this: http://pastebin.com/d4d04c018
[01:16] <h1st0> nemilar: not my fault the samba sharing in ubuntu is messed up from the factory.
[01:16] <nemilar> h1st0: agreed
[01:16] <Pelo> Sentix, possibly you upgraded the kernel and the grub menu.lst file was remade ?
[01:16] <nemilar> h1st0: that's why I recommended sftp, no config files necessary
[01:16] <h1st0> nemilar: true that.  Samba should be configurable right from the share.
[01:16] <Jouva> Hey folks, just had some questions cause I haven't used Linux on a desktop in a long long time, but I must say that first of all the folks who help put together this really did a nice job cause mostly everything worked right out of the box with no problems.
[01:16] <h1st0> benny269: nemilar's option will be the easiest for you.
[01:16] <Scubar> that should atleast get the pc ur trying to get on the net through the eth0 connection
[01:17] <Sentix> Pelo:  Don't think so, my wife's using the machine I haven't pushed a distro change or anything remotely close
[01:17] <nemilar> h1st0: yeah, linux has _pathetic_ gui samba configuration, as far as I've had experience with
[01:17] <Sentix> Pelo:  It dual boots vista, any chance M$ screwed something up?
[01:17] <andi5> zea: did you have file system failures?
[01:17] <nemilar> h1st0: but then again, windows' sharing configuration isn't all fun and games, either.
[01:17] <Pelo> Sentix, this is what error 18 means  18 : Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS
[01:17] <Pelo>     This error is returned when a read is attempted at a linear block address beyond the end of the BIOS translated area. This generally happens if your disk is larger than the BIOS can handle (512MB for (E)IDE disks on older machines or larger than 8GB in general).
[01:17] <benny269> h1st0: ok tell me what to change in config?
[01:17] <Sentix> Pelo:  Yeah I already read the error message, just doesn't make sense
[01:17] <zea> andi5, i really dont know
[01:17] <Jouva> I'm used to running Linux as a server though, so I'm familiar with enough commands and such, but when it comes to GUI specific stuff in Linux sometimes I'm lost
[01:18] <andi5> zea: you might want to take a look at /var/lib/dpkg/info/hal-info.list and see whether it contains a final newline
[01:18] <family> scubar https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing?highlight=%28connection%29%7C%28sharing%29%7C%28internet%29 this is the help file but i dont get it
[01:18] <Gin> if you install Ubuntu on a raid 0 system, wouldn't that improve the performance by 2x?
[01:18] <Dr_willis> Gin,  it would boost disk access.. yes..  but proberly not 2x.
[01:18] <andi5> performance of what?
[01:18] <bobertdos> hello
[01:18] <Pelo> Sentix, I wouldn't go so far as to claim vista is the cause of this issue, can you try pastebin ing your menu.lst file to see if there is anything we can figure out from it ?
[01:18] <h1st0> benny269: sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
[01:19] <Pelo> !pastebin | Sentix
[01:19] <ubotu> Sentix: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[01:19] <nemilar> Gin: it would improve read/write access on your disks, but not performance overall
[01:19] <h1st0> benny269: change the line from Security = user to security = share
[01:19] <bobertdos> Is anyone having trouble downloading the latest security patch for Gutsy??
[01:19] <h1st0> benny269: then the network share should work from the other machine
[01:19] <regeya> I'm so far behind the times.  I hadn't heard of OpenRT until tonight.
[01:19] <PriceChild> bobertdos, sudo apt-get update
[01:19] <Gin> nemilar, faster access means better performance right?
[01:19] <Rifleman_82> hi all
[01:19] <Gin> applications would start 2x faster
[01:19] <nemilar> Gin: when doing things like working with large files, you'll see a performance difference
[01:19] <Rifleman_82> can someone help me? I'm having difficulty trying to install sun java runtime environment
[01:19] <Sentix> Pelo: I'll see if I can figure something out w/Gparted and go from there
[01:20] <h1st0> benny269: after that just sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[01:20] <Pelo> Rifleman_82, how are you trying to install it ?
[01:20] <Pelo> !java | Rifleman_82
[01:20] <Dr_willis> Gin,  faster access means.. faster access. :)  which is part of overall performance.
[01:20] <andi5> Gin: not if there is a lot of cpu work to do on start up and i guess so
[01:20] <zea> andi5, i found very strange characters at the last line, i just removed an saved the file and know works!
[01:20] <reana> ii
[01:20] <ubotu> Rifleman_82: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy)
[01:20] <benny269> h1st0: ok and what does this do?
[01:20] <Rifleman_82> pelo: what does that do?
[01:20] <Sonic-O-Mega> so with gparted do I run the CD while the computers running or when it's starting
[01:21] <PriceChild> !pm | bobertdos
[01:21] <ubotu> bobertdos: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude.
[01:21] <nemilar> Gin: different things bottle-neck at different parts of the system.  For example, encoding video will bottleneck the CPU, so having a raid-0 configuration won't improve that at all.  But if you're doing something like, writing a huge file, or something where the bottleneck is the hard drive, you'll see improvement.
[01:21] <family> im going to try something diffrent
[01:21] <Pelo> Rifleman_82,  it just sent you a msg on instlaling java,  it just took a little time,
[01:21] <PriceChild> bobertdos, please type what I have said into a terminal.
[01:21] <Dr_willis> Sonic-O-Mega,  one normally puts the live cd's in, and power up the machine.
[01:21] <andi5> zea: my last line is the one with changelog.Debian.gz... is yours the same?
[01:21] <Pelo> !java > Rifleman_82 check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu
[01:21] <Dr_willis> Sonic-O-Mega,  then the pc boots the live cd and runs the os from there.
[01:21] <Pelo> later folks
[01:21] <h1st0> benny269: gets rid of the username and pass prompt for the folder on the other computer
[01:21] <nemilar> Sonic-O-Mega: don't forget to set the windows partition as the boot partition!!!
[01:21] <reana> hola
[01:21] <h1st0> benny269: allows anyone to access it on the network.
[01:21] <Rifleman_82> pelo thanks
[01:21] <Gin> nemilar, would firefox start faster?
[01:21] <nemilar> Gin: nah not really
[01:21] <andi5> seconded
[01:22] <family> im going to bridge it instead of internet connection sharing
[01:22] <nemilar> Gin: not noticably, anyhow
[01:22] <Rifleman_82> pelo: i downloaded the rpm from sun's site, and i was trying to follow their instructions
[01:22] <tesseracter> hi, has anyone gotten SciTE to save settings like monospace fonts?
[01:22] <h1st0> benny269: I have to go if that doesn't work for you after editing and restarting samba nemilar can help you with his solution.
[01:22] <Rifleman_82> pelo: i can't apt-get it?
[01:22] <anderswc> does anyone know what package I should install to get stdio.h etc.?
[01:22] <zea> andi5, rigth now its the same after i found something like "@^@^@@...."
[01:23] <bobertdos> Ahh, so the mirror was out of date. fair enough
[01:23] <bkar> anderswc-> build-essentials ?
[01:23] <Dr_willis> anderswc,  build-essentials for a start
[01:23] <Jouva> So I have a question: I currently have an ATi Radeon 9200, which I'm a bit aware that the ATi cards aren't as well supported as nVidia in X, but I noticed that the applications are a little slow as far as graphics go. Like a youtube video I've seen before seems to run at a slower frame rate than usual.
[01:23] <Jouva> Thing is I'm at a high resolution: 1600x1200, and I'm wondering if that's the major cause of it or not
[01:24] <wy> Hi, any good ideas how to remove grub from mbr in ubuntu livecd?
[01:24] <nemilar> Jouva: it's the drivers, or the settings, not the resolution
[01:24] <anderswc> ok
[01:24] <bobertdos> Also, I've been having this ongoing issue with the installation of javadocs interfering every time I do an update.
[01:25] <vocx> !away > amidaniel|away
[01:25] <Jouva> nemilar: Ok. I just figured if the drivers weren't able to do hardware acceleration well that a higher resolution may make it worse. Is there anything you can suggest to look for or get with a Radeon 9200?
[01:25] <Scubar> did u try doing what i suggested family ?
[01:25] <bobertdos> Sorry about the pm, Price, I am unaccustomed to IRC etiquette.
[01:25] <nemilar> Jouva: there's loads of howtos for radeon cards and ubuntu
[01:25] <Jouva> Ok

[01:28] <vox> eh?
[01:28] <tzanger> nemilar: yes, I'm familiar with doing it that way, it doesn't seem to work correctly for the radeon driver anyway...  if I try to do it that way it ends up mucking up xorg.conf in such a way that the X server segfaults

[01:30] <onats> what's the advantage of having a local DNS server, over just using the ISPs DNS?
[01:30] <linxeh> onats: you can add your local network machines to it
[01:30] <tzanger> actually there is a thread in ubuntu forums which details this exact problem
[01:30] <nem[brb]> onats: nothing for the average home user
[01:30] <andi5> onats: depends on how many machines you want to use your dns server
[01:30] <linxeh> onats: for most people it probably isnt worth it , unless your ISP dns server dies regularly
[01:31] <onats> linxeh, actually that happens frequently
[01:31] <linxeh> onats: then it might be worth it for you
[01:31] <andi5> onats: does it reject requests fast enough so that you can specify a fallback dns server?
[01:32] <linxeh> onats: i used to run one when I was on isdn with a bad ISP dns server and it worked very well. I'm running one at the moment just to add my local servers into the standard lan dns
[01:32] <Joelito> thanks regeya :)

[01:36] <benny269> bkar: i have 2 drives 1 windows 1 linux and i want to share the whole of the windows drive
[01:36] <luna_> -ssl irc.indymedia.org
[01:36] <pygmymath> Rifleman_82: which windows?
[01:36] <soldats> #ubuntu-fr
[01:36] <Rifleman_82> i installed linux first
[01:36] <benny269> andi5: how do i do that?
[01:36] <onats> what i'm really after is that when the ISP's DNS server fails, i still am able to connect to websites...
[01:36] <Rifleman_82> win xp
[01:36] <nu2buntu> hi! i need a help. i wan to share my internet connection with another pc which is on winxp ... i followed many guides on the net... but i always fail ... ubuntu reads my ethernet card as eth1 (connected to the net) ..and the the other card connecting to the other pc as eth0 ..please help...thx
[01:36] <pygmymath> Rifleman_82: its definitely easier if you do linux first
[01:36] <TheDukeNY> hello, can I please get some help? What the command for changing a read only drive to read and write
[01:36] <nu2buntu> !patience
[01:36] <ubotu> The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[01:37] <linxeh> Rifleman_82: I've been doing it for 12 years now, I would install Windows first if you want an easy life, and make sure that you have your windows partition not filling the whole disk when you start
[01:37] <andi5> benny269: it is directory like the one you managed to share
[01:37] <soldats> !dualboot | Rifleman_82

[01:37] <Rifleman_82> i don't have the original rescue disks
[01:37] <Sentix> exit
[01:37] <pygmymath> Rifleman_82: though xp should be able to install to any empty space, then just reinstall grub
[01:37] <linxeh> TheDukeNY: loaded question. more context...
[01:37] <Rifleman_82> so i was hoping to clone my old (failing) hdd to the new c:
[01:37] <ghosTM55> TheDukeNY: change the mod of device file?
[01:37] <TheDukeNY> I have an external hard drive that needs read and write capabolotoes
[01:37] <Rifleman_82> i tried using xxcopy
[01:37] <TheDukeNY> *capabilities
[01:37] <linxeh> Rifleman_82: if you want to "clone" it use dd
[01:37] <Rifleman_82> so now i've transferred my old c: to the new c:
[01:38] <Rifleman_82> linxeh: thanks. i'll go find it
[01:38] <TheDukeNY> /media/fantomdrive is my external hard drive, its not allowing me to write because its its a read-only drive
[01:38] <TheDukeNY> I need to command to change that
[01:38] <linxeh> Rifleman_82: it will do an exact clone of something
[01:38] <benny269> andi5: i selected the directory under the /media folder and shared the whole thing there but it didnt work. still shows my documents to be the only visible folder on the network on my host machine?
[01:38] <Rifleman_82> my problem now is that when i power on, it doesn't even notice the windows partition
[01:38] <soldats> TheDukeNY, man chmod in terminal
[01:38] <linxeh> Rifleman_82: you should already have it on your linux distro (its a core command)
[01:38] <Rifleman_82> grub only sees ubuntu
[01:39] <andi5> hmmm
[01:39] <TheDukeNY> manual didnt help me
[01:39] <Rifleman_82> linxeh: command line?
[01:39] <linxeh> Rifleman_82: you probably need to update the grub config to look for that partition

[01:39] <sysadmin> Rifleman_82, What model of computer?
[01:39] <Rifleman_82> ibm r40
[01:39] <onats> linxeh, can dnsmasq be used as an alternative to the DNS Servers of the ISP, in case they fail?
[01:39] <PriceChild> kystien, what did soldats say?
[01:40] <linxeh> onats: heh, good question, I've not looked at that (my current ISP is rock solid, and so it should be for the equiv or 50$ a month for 20GB download at 4mbit!)
[01:40] <benny269> anyone know how to share a whole drive rather than individual folders so that it can be accessed over the network? i managed to share an individual folder but would like to apply these settings to the whole of the drive at once rather than selecting individual folders for the same results?
[01:40] <TheDukeNY> chmod: invalid mode: `/media/fantomdrive'
[01:40] <nem[]> err
[01:40] <onats> linxeh.. hehe ok thanks for the other info anyway. thats what i need to achieve though
[01:40] <soldats> PriceChild, he cussed and i used the bot as help
[01:40] <benny269> nemilar: anyone know how to share a whole drive rather than individual folders so that it can be accessed over the network? i managed to share an individual folder but would like to apply these settings to the whole of the drive at once rather than selecting individual folders for the same results?
[01:41] <adrock358> is genii or h1st0 here?
[01:42] <Seveas> adrock358, look who just joined :)

[01:42] <adrock358> seveas....oh
[01:42] <Rifleman_82> linxeh, sysadmin: how do i update grub to look for that partition?
[01:42] <adrock358> that's cool
[01:42] <adrock358> the irony...its twisting me up inside
[01:42] <genii> heh
[01:43] <soldats> TheDukeNY, some thing like "sudo chmod +rwx /path/to/file"
[01:43] <benny269> anyone know how to share a whole drive rather than individual folders so that it can be accessed over the network? i managed to share an individual folder but would like to apply these settings to the whole of the drive at once rather than selecting individual folders for the same results?
[01:43] <TheDukeNY> chmod: changing permissions of `/media/FantomDrive': Read-only file system
[01:43] <nu2buntu> sorry to repeat the question...hi! i need a help. i wan to share my internet connection with another pc which is on winxp ... i followed many guides on the net... but i always fail ... ubuntu reads my ethernet card as eth1 (connected to the net) ..and the the other card connecting to the other pc as eth0 ..please help...thx
[01:43] <genii> adrock358: OK refresh my memory where were we?
[01:43] <nemilar> benny269: you're saying that the folders inside the shared folder aren't being shared?
[01:43] <soldats> benny269, did you try rclicking it in nautilus and choosing share
[01:43] <CruCio> Anyone has Java on his ubuntu ps3 ??
[01:44] <CruCio> PLEASE!!
[01:44] <bkar> nu2buntu-> you are using ubuntu as your router/gateway to the internet right?
[01:44] <adrock358> maybe i should try again...if I'm so lucky...Hey, is there a million dollars rolled up with rubberbands on my front door-step in here?
[01:44] <adrock358> ...ah...no such luck
[01:44] <nemilar> whoaaaaaaaaa
[01:44] <genii> Whoa, netsplit?
[01:44] <nu2buntu> bkar :  whatever means to share my connection ....
[01:44] <macogw> genii: looks like it
[01:44] <adrock358> hi genii.  umm, i was following a guide from h1st0, who then, rifht before i left, told me not to follow it.  and...that's it.
[01:44] <nemilar> someone unscrewed a tube somewhere
[01:45] <nu2buntu> i thought netsplit only happens at dalnet :p
[01:45] <CruCio> Help please ?
[01:45] <CruCio> anyone got java working on his Ubuntu ?
[01:45] <adrock358> genii, so basically, i have the live cd.  and whatever the wireless configuration on it works well.  then, once i install, the wireless configuration is no good.
[01:45] <PriceChild> !don't feed the troll
[01:45] <CruCio> ps3
[01:45] <benny269> nemilar: no i shared the my docs folder and it worked for all folders within it. i want to share the whole of the drive which the my docs folder is on. how do i do that?
[01:45] <genii> adrock358: Ah yes, the Belkin usb lan adapter
[01:45] <bkar> nu2buntu-> can you at least elaborate on your network setup? how are things connected to your ISP?
[01:45] <bassinboy> if lspci finds your wireless device, what would keep ubuntu from making a device (wlan0) for it?
[01:45] <CruCio> omg
[01:45] <TheDukeNY> help please?
[01:45] <LjL> !don't feed the troll is <alias> feeding the troll
[01:45] <ubotu> I'll remember that, LjL
[01:45] <nemilar> benny269: you can't share a mount point
[01:45] <nemilar> benny269: share the parent folder
[01:46] <benny269> soldats: yes i tried that but it didnt work. the 'my documents' folder i did singly worked though
[01:46] <Mez> !feedthetroll
[01:46] <ubotu> The above mess was caused by someone who thought it was funny (they're gone now). Please ignore it completely, since discussing it and making a fuss will only make them think they've reached their "fun" goal.
[01:46] <genii> adrock358: So you are now on the livecd?
[01:46] <nemilar> benny269: if you're trying to share your windows drive, mounted on /mnt/windows for example, share that
[01:46] <adrock358> genii.  yes.  and before you help, i just want to thank you so far for kindly donating your time to my peril
[01:46] <adrock358> genii yes sir
[01:46] <nu2buntu> bkar :  i'm connected through a cable modem ... my ethernet is onboard... ubuntu reads it as "eth1" ..it's weird because it should be eth0...
[01:46] <benny269> nemilar: i did, i shared it from  /media - is that right?
[01:46] <bkar> nu2buntu-> not weird, you can change the name if you wish, but concentrate on getting it connected first
[01:46] <adrock358> genii.  i don't have access to the room where the modem is so i can't plug in right now.
[01:47] <soldats> benny269, its possible but im not networked with windows anymore. samba will help if you have it imsure you do. i believe there are some commands for it
[01:47] <nu2buntu> bkar : i want to share my connection through a crossover LAN cable ...since i have another LAN card ..which ubuntu reads as eth0
[01:47] <adrock358> genii, perhaps tomorrow or something i may, but i'm not sure i want to wait that long.
[01:47] <nu2buntu> bkar : i never had problems with ICS when i was using WinXp ... i've just migrated to ubuntu last night
[01:47] <bkar> nu2buntu-> why can you not get a hub or a switch rather that this hooky crossover cable?
[01:48] <benny269> nemilar: there's nothing in the /mnt folder
[01:48] <zachalink> OK, cd burnt, ubuntu 7.10 is on it, but only the PC I'm on right now detects it, my asus dvd burner doesn't. :?
[01:48] <genii> adrock358: Well, I'll give it a shot anyhow. Whether we get anywhere, well, we shall see. So from livecd, the thing is to find what modules are loaded, then from that we can possibly decide which ones are what is allowing the adapter to operate there. So from there in Terminal to do: dmesg   and then to pastebin this for dissection
[01:48] <zachalink> :S
[01:48] <xavie1> hello and I need help booting my pc  It was working perfect with ubuntu gutsy 7.10 and so I wanted to remove XINE and while synaptic was removing and adding stuff it went all crazy and restarted and once it started I could not log in in the GUI but that is not all that matters I can get along with commandline but my external hard drives are not mounted so I can change my files and move them to external hard drives, anyone can help???/
[01:48] <nemilar> benny269: where's the windows drive mounted?
[01:48] <nemilar> benny269: use the 'mount' command to see current mounds
[01:48] <bkar> nu2buntu-> hubs or switches are inexpensive now adays
[01:48] <nemilar> mounts*****
[01:48] <nu2buntu> bkar : at the moment.. i only need to share my connection with only one pc ... just for the time being ... i am thinking to buy a router ..but not this time i think .. any suggestion?

[01:51] <TheDukeNY> nemilar: I can't get my external hard drive to read and write
[01:51] <scraga1> xavie1: you mount devices using the mount command, usualy something like: "mount /dev/DEVICE /media/LOCATION"
[01:51] <TheDukeNY> nemilar: i've tried this:
[01:51] <zachalink> that's slick man
[01:51] <adrock358> genii http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52512/
[01:51] <bkar> nu2buntu-> okay, is your ubuntu connected to your cable modem now?

[01:51] <genii> adrock358: OK, reading. Give me a minute or so
[01:51] <nemilar> TheDukeNY: are you using NTFS-3g or the kernel driver?
[01:51] <CruCio> anyone on PS3 ubuntu got java installed ?
[01:51] <bkar> nu2buntu-> you realize this is not a windows support? we support ubuntu however
[01:52] <TheDukeNY> NTFS-3g
[01:52] <CruCio> screw this man
[01:52] <xavie1> I think no one has CruCio
[01:52] <CruCio> you guys are  No help
[01:52] <TheDukeNY> thats whasts downloaded with NTFS-config, and it works with my internal NTFS drive
[01:52] <soldats> TheDukeNY, install ntfs-3g then try "sudo chmod 777 /media/fant**" but use your directory
[01:52] <adrock358> genii and i'm not going to lie, this whole livecd thing sounds amazing.  windows is like retarded (excuse my lack of correct terminology) compared to this
[01:52] <bkar> CruCio-> give away your ps3
[01:52] <CruCio> why ?

[01:52] <PriceChild> CruCio, I don't think java works on ppc.
[01:52] <scraga1> xavie1: "cat /proc/partitions" will list available devices
[01:52] <nu2buntu> bkar : i though ubuntu can act as a "router" ... and it can/will share its internet connection to any other pc with different OS ? correct?
[01:53] <PriceChild> CruCio, sun java anyway
[01:53] <nu2buntu> bkar : i thought
[01:53] <CruCio> and only switch to ubuntu just to browse the internet and chat
[01:53] <bkar> nu2buntu-> correcto mondo
[01:53] <PriceChild> CruCio, look into "icedtea"
[01:53] <CruCio> icedtea ?
[01:53] <PriceChild> CruCio, free version
[01:53] <CruCio> what is thaT ?
[01:53] <CruCio> does it replaces Java ?
[01:53] <TheDukeNY> nemilar: it reports back the same thing: chmod: changing permissions of `/media/FantomDrive': Read-only file system
[01:53] <PriceChild> CruCio, free version of java
[01:53] <TheDukeNY> nemilar: still won't work
[01:53] <xavie1> mmmmm ok scraga1 right now its taking a memory test because it gave me an error with I/0
[01:53] <PriceChild> CruCio, rather than sun java, icedtea
[01:54] <bkar> nu2buntu-> can you pastebin the results of  ifconfig; and route -n  please

[01:54] <genii> adrock358: This is the dmesg of the livecd or the system which is loading off the hd and not working the Belkin?

[01:54] <xavie1> 235893462 buffer I/O error on device fdO logical block 0
[01:55] <Peng> Hypothetical situation: I've prepartitioned my disk. Is the installer willing to use a separate /home partition? What if said partition already has some data on it?

[02:00] <CruCio> Atleast does anyone of you knows where i can get Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon PowerPC+PS3 ??
[02:00] <CruCio> an iso with the same name ?
[02:00] <nemilar> TheDukeNY: can you 'touch /media/FantomDrive/test' ?
[02:00] <adrock358> genii.  yeah maybe i will donate to the cause...let's see if linux pans out for me first.....one sec on lsmod..
[02:00] <bkar> nu2buntu-> will you be assigning static ip address to your client (the windows pc) ?
[02:00] <nemilar> benny269: cd /media && ls -l
[02:00] <genii> adrock358: No worries, I'll be here a while tonight
[02:00] <TheDukeNY> nemilar: /dev/sdb on /media/FantomDrive type ntfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,umask=222,utf8)
[02:00] <TheDukeNY> oops
[02:01] <TheDukeNY> nemilar: touch: cannot touch `/medai/FantomDrive/test': No such file or directory
[02:01] <nemilar> TheDukeNY: spelled media wrong ;)
[02:01] <Shpook> Is there a way to set update manager to automatically download and install updates?
[02:01] <adrock358> genii.  thank you again.  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52516/
[02:01] <genii> adrock358: Reading
[02:01] <benny269> nemilar: ok i got an output, what do you need?
[02:01] <nemilar> Shpook: yeah, system - admin - update manager
[02:02] <misslecommander> test
[02:02] <adrock358> genii.  that's really nice that all of you guys donate your time.
[02:02] <adrock358> genii.  are you IT professionals might I ask?
[02:02] <nemilar> benny269: does the first row of "rwx--" stuff look different for the docs folder than for the rest of the folders ?
[02:02] <TheDukeNY> nemilar: touch: cannot touch `/media/FantomDrive/test': Read-only file system
[02:02] <nemilar> TheDukeNY: can you do it as root?
[02:02] <nu2buntu> bkar: i'm on static IP ... i dont think it will be a problem if the windows pc use the same IP as mine ... yes i will just assign static ip address
[02:02] <nickrud> Shpook: you can set it do automatically install security stuff, system->admin->software sources, update tab. You can have it download other updates automatically though
[02:02] <nu2buntu> bkar : btw... the windows pc is on .. should i do ifconfig once more ?
[02:02] <bkar> nu2buntu-> sure it will be a problem if two machines are using same ip address
[02:03] <bkar> nu2buntu-> yes, do an ipconfig on the windows this time
[02:03] <scraga1> Shpook: I know it can download the files, checking to see if it can install as well now. hold on
[02:03] <nu2buntu> bkar : what do u suggest... ?
[02:03] <bkar> nu2buntu-> yes, do an ipconfig on the windows this time
[02:03] <nu2buntu> bkar : please tell me the command for ipconfig for windows ?
[02:03] <genii> adrock358: Some of us here giving advice or support are, others may be smart 12 year olds :)
[02:04] <bkar> nu2buntu-> yes, do an ipconfig on the windows this time  <--- read please
[02:04] <nemilar> Can someone explain to me why my NTFS-3G driver uses 100% of my CPU?
[02:04] <nemilar> That's the only damn problem I have
[02:04] <nu2buntu> bkar : ow ... you mean "on the windows" pc
[02:04] <scraga1> Shpook: Looks like options for it are only available when updates are available, by right clicking the notification...
[02:04] <bkar> nu2buntu-> yes
[02:04] <RyanPrior> nemilar: I/O is expensive, and 3G is an expensive driver. That might be it.
[02:04] <misslecommander> !ifupdown
[02:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ifupdown - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:04] <genii> adrock358: At any rate... Can you mount now the drive which you installed to? If you ned help on this just ask
[02:05] <genii> *need
[02:05] <nu2buntu> bkar : ok .. i will try ... and i will try to ping to here aswell
[02:05] <xomp> halo everybody :) could someone assist me with maybe updating my graphics drivers in ubuntu? I have a Radeon Mobility M7 LW (7500) that apparently doesn't like Compiz (or Compiz doesn't like it) and I would love to get those nice effects it offers. Can someone maybe assist with this? Thanks :D
[02:05] <misslecommander> !dhcp
[02:05] <TheDukeNY> nemilar: is it sudo root touch /media/FantomDrive/test ???
[02:05] <ubotu> dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP
[02:05] <nemilar> RyanPrior: it's not _that_ intensive
[02:05] <adrock358> genii.  ubuntu is so amazing to me.  the only reason why i got into it is because i got into downloading torrents.  i was downloading movies, and tons of stuff.  i started to utilize the functioinality of windows, and because of that, i started to see that windows was archaic.  so i tried to download the new version of windows (vista), and it was very difficult for me to install.  Then i decided i wanted ipodlinux...so i just d
[02:05] <nemilar> TheDukeNY: yup
[02:05] <vocx> !botabuse > misslecommander
[02:05] <nemilar> TheDukeNY: err no
[02:05] <bkar> nu2buntu-> pinging it from ubuntu will not work
[02:05] <adrock358> genii.  yeah, how do i mount it?
[02:05] <nemilar> TheDukeNY: sudo touch ...
[02:05] <misslecommander> vocx: that is not bot abuse finding things out
[02:05] <adrock358> misslecommander  hey, thanks for the help yesterday!
[02:05] <genii> adrock358: Do you recall which partition it was? Normally something like /dev/sda1   or such
[02:05] <RyanPrior> Who keeps booting people who aren't even talking?

[02:06] <misslecommander> adrock358: i hope all is going well for you now
[02:06] <TheDukeNY> nemilar: thedukeny@thedukeny-laptop:~$ sudo touch /media/FantomDrive/test
[02:06] <TheDukeNY> touch: cannot touch `/media/FantomDrive/test': Read-only file system
[02:06] <nemilar> TheDukeNY: yup
[02:06] <passbe> does anyone know of a program gui or console, pref console, that shows you which programs are using bandwidth, ie kb/s. and i know about netstat but i need something else ?
[02:06] <TheDukeNY> nemilar: thats what it returns, Read-only file system
[02:07] <unagi> is there a terminal command that will enable compatability files in a folder on a vista partition?
[02:07] <nu2buntu> bkar : the windows pc ipconfig is still the same ..i haven't change it IP: <IP_ADDRESS>, subnet mas: <IP_ADDRESS> default gateway: <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:07] <adrock358> genii .  you know i am really sorry to say i don't.  is there a command that i may enter to find this?....i know dev3 is my main partition--the largest one.
[02:07] <nemilar> TheDukeNY: that's particularly strange
[02:07] <miketalanca> I have a pretty big problem. After the Xorg update, I had some problems, reinstalled my nVidia drivers, and went to reboot again...and now I cannot boot at all; for a normal boot it freezes at the loading screen right when it says "resuming normal boot" and stops in the middle of booting when I try to boot into recovery mode.
[02:07] <ltz28> passbe -  iostat in a terminal
[02:07] <genii> adrock358: Ok, no worries. Pastebin again :) This time the results of command: sudo fdisk -l
[02:07] <bkar> nu2buntu-> now do you want to use the same static ip address for your windows pc?
[02:07] <passbe> ltz28:  thx
[02:07] <TheDukeNY> nemilar: what should it look like in fstab?
[02:07] <nu2buntu> bkar : yes ... that IP is just fine
[02:08] <misslecommander> vocx: whatever. its a crime to find out info and share it ? nvm dont answer
[02:08] <TheDukeNY> nemilar: should it be listed in /etc/fstab ?
[02:08] <bkar> nu2buntu-> then you must assign you ubuntu nic card (the one where windows will be connecting to) to address <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:08] <nemilar> TheDukeNY: it doesn't have to be, no
[02:08] <nemilar> TheDukeNY: it will automount on startup
[02:09] <passbe> ltz28:  that gives me harddrive info
[02:09] <passbe> ?
[02:09] <bkar> nu2buntu-> on ubuntu,  you can try setting this via the network-manager
[02:09] <TheDukeNY> nemilar: any last ideas
[02:09] <adrock358> genii.  great.  thank you.   http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52517/
[02:09]  * nickrud is amused by newcomers abusing long time helpers
[02:09] <xomp> hey guys, any list of unsupported video cards for compiz/beyrl? I can't get it to work for some reason and I belive it's my graphics card.
[02:09] <genii> adrock358: Reading
[02:09] <nu2buntu> bkar : i did this before : ifconfig eth1 <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:09] <genii> nickrud: Me too
[02:09] <nemilar> TheDukeNY: I'm pretty much all-out...you said ntfs-config wasn't working at all?
[02:10] <bkar> nu2buntu-> okay, try that now again..but as root
[02:10] <unagi> is there a way to see a compatibility folder on a vista partition from linux?
[02:10] <benny269> nemilar: I cant navigate to the my docs folder because a higher folder within which it is contained has a space in its name and Terminal wont let me access it. keeps saying the directory doesnt exist because it doesnt read the full folder name due to the space?
[02:10] <adrock358> misslecommander, can i ask you a question?  how do you pull up the name chart so you don't have to type each others names in every time you talk?
[02:10] <misslecommander> adrock358: use the small letter L not the number 1
[02:10] <xavie1> ok I am in with the live CD I had ubuntu before and have my account there and want to coppy and put my files in an external hard drive so I can reinstall ubuntu but I have no writting permision to the external hard drives anyone knows what I could do?
[02:10] <TheDukeNY> nemilar: correct, when I checkmark the box, nothing changes when i try to delete a file in Fantom Drive
[02:10] <genii> adrock358: The -l   part is a lowercase L and not a one (1)... please repost
[02:10] <nemilar> benny269: put the folder name in quotes
[02:10] <misslecommander> adrock358: fdisk -l  its east to overlook
[02:10] <nemilar> benny269: or use a \ to escape spaces, like file\ name
[02:10] <bkar> adrock358-> typicall you type the first distinguishing chars and then tab for completion
[02:11] <nu2buntu> bkar: yes .. and then ?
[02:11] <nemilar> TheDukeNY: that's farkin' weird, I got no ideas...sorry man
[02:11] <misslecommander> adrock358: what IRC client you using ?
[02:11] <bkar> nu2buntu-> then type ifconfig  and pastebin the results
[02:11] <Whatsinaname> Does anyone have a preferred vnc clinet?  I wish to connect to my ubuntu box (headless) but need gui.
[02:11] <TheDukeNY> nemilar: does ubuntu support more than 4 files systems on a single internal hard drive?
[02:11] <xavie1> ok I am in with the live CD I had ubuntu before and have my account there and want to coppy and put my files in an external hard drive so I can reinstall ubuntu but I have no writting permision to the external hard drives anyone knows what I could do?

[02:12] <bkar> The_Machine-> yes, its possible, look at the result of mount command you will see multiple FS
[02:12] <nemilar> TheDukeNY: you've got multiple partitions on this external?
[02:12] <adrock358> genii no, thank you.
[02:12] <nemilar> TheDukeNY: I just noticed you've mounted it as /dev/sdb, not /dev/sdbX
