[17:58] <WhoNeedszzz> Hey guys. I'm using wicd as my network daemon but last night i accidentally clicked network and a dialog looking like nm-applet (even though it says it is uninstalled) popped up and has taken control of my network settings. Anything i do in wicd is not being applied. How do i get control back?
[17:59] <RAdams> BadElvis: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. you may need to do some tweaking after reconfiguration to restore custom settings for your intel driver. It will backup your old xorg.conf; use that for reference after it builds the new one if something isn't working
[17:59] <Kidfork>  Im having a little trouble with Ubuntu, When i installed it inside-windows the instatlation worked perfectly, however, it installed fine, and i was able to log on once to Ubuntu.

[18:01] <RAdams> Kidfork: if you don't know, the answer is most likely "no" :)
[18:02] <Gnea> WhoNeedszzz: you'll need to uninstall it and remove the repo

[18:03] <Bax_> how do I replace a mouse with a joystick, and assign the joystick's buttons to my liking?  ubuntu fiesty
[18:03] <WhoNeedszzz> Gnea: no i'm not. I said an nm-applet dialog that i found out is network-admin
[18:03] <Gnea> WhoNeedszzz: but wicd is a third-party ubuntu app, which means you installed it explicitly
[18:03] <WhoNeedszzz> Hey guys. I'm using wicd as my network daemon but last night i accidentally clicked network and network-admin popped up and has taken control of my network settings. Anything i do in wicd is not being applied. How do i get control back?
[18:03] <WhoNeedszzz> there
[18:03] <yell0w> user_: english and vietnamese
[18:03] <Hugowang> When I select XP in grub menu, the XP starts with a starting processing bar, and then turned a blue screen......system reboot......
[18:03] <Kidfork> RAdams: Well i installed it directly through WUBI so there was no option about that, i can still go back into windows, too bad its screwed up.
[18:04] <Phosis> Does anyone here use Ircd-hybrid?
[18:04] <RAdams> Hugowang: that is a windows problem then. if it gets that far, it's not grub's fault
[18:04] <user_> yell0w: ok, we dont have viatnamese channel yet, so just ask your question and someone will try to anser
[18:04] <RAdams> Kidfork: ok. so when you first start your computer, you have the option to pick between windows and ubuntu?
[18:04] <Gnea> WhoNeedszzz: yes, you indeed have problems.
[18:05] <Hugowang> but i search in the Internet, found many guys installing the ubuntu 8.04 ran into the same problem
[18:05] <Sergeant_Pony> anyone know how I can show my 4 desktops on 1 screen?
[18:05] <Lynet> Using wine/ies4linux/ieTab is it possible to run ieTab in Linux Firefox?
[18:05] <gleesond_home> is there a command line tool for burning iso
[18:05] <Hugowang> so I am confusing.  I wonder if there is something wrong with ubuntu 8.04's program?
[18:05] <CrashTest_> Lynet: I have not been able to get that to work myself
[18:05] <Onebeer> gleesond_home: cdrecord
[18:05] <Phosis> gleesond_home wouldnt a simple google search show you that?
[18:05] <RAdams> Lynet: not without modifying the source of that extension. You'd have to signficantly rewrite it
[18:05] <Hugowang> yes, the grub menu looks ok.
[18:06] <Tonehog> Hugowang: what program?
[18:06] <CrashTest_> Any idea on how to change the tray icons for pidgin and tomboy?
[18:06] <Phosis> Does anyone know how to change the host addrsss in ircd-hybrid??
[18:06] <Kidfork> RAdams: Correct
[18:06] <yell0w> user_: i thought you had a question :)
[18:06] <Xazax> hi! i have some trouble with my internet under ubuntu. I have an usb adsl modem and i can't connect to internet. Yesterday everything worked well without any driver or setup or configuration
[18:06] <Phosis> Does anyone know how to change the host address in ircd-hybrid?
[18:06] <user_> yell0w: when did i ask you? ;-)
[18:07] <yell0w> user_: nvm
[18:07] <Lynet> RAdams: Ah, ok. Do you happen to know if running the entire firefox/IE/ieTab stuff under wine works?
[18:07] <RAdams> Kidfork: ok, can you send me your /boot/grub/menu.lst? i realize you can't boot into Ubuntu, one really quick way to grab it might be to install imaginary fs from www.fs-driver.org so you can mount your ext3 in Windows
[18:07] <leprasmurf> hello all.  so I installed flash 10 as per some workaround to the locking of audio associated with pulseaudio.  Now I can't use the arrow keys in wonderful flash games (or any key to move, presummably it's something to do with the function being called)
[18:07] <leprasmurf> does anyone know a workaround?
[18:07] <WhoNeedszzz> Hey guys. I'm using wicd as my network daemon but last night i accidentally clicked network and network-admin popped up and has taken control of my network settings. Anything i do in wicd is not being applied. How do i get control back?
[18:07] <BadElvis> RAdams, i did as you told me, but still, i have only 800x600, wrong board layout and when i do nvidia-settings, it says im not using the nvidia driver
[18:07] <RAdams> Lynet: it would not
[18:07] <RAdams> BadElvis: you're not using nvidia driver because you have an intel chip.
[18:07] <Guest43141> hola alguien que hable espanol
[18:08] <yell0w> !es | Guest43141
[18:08] <RAdams> BadElvis: please post your lshw | grep Intel to pastebin, along with your xorg.conf
[18:08] <tux> i'm getting this strange behavior in my trash folder...many files in there are named strangely, like "filename.<IP_ADDRESS>.<IP_ADDRESS>.<IP_ADDRESS>.<IP_ADDRESS>.2.sh" ....is this normal behavior?
[18:08] <Hugowang> Hi tonehog, the problem is:  After I installed ubuntu 8.04, I reboot the box. When I select Windows XP in the grub bar, the XP starts...but soon a blue screen happens, followed by a rebooting .......I searched it in the Internet, I found many guys ran into the same problem.  I guess something should be wrong with the 8.04's installing program..?
[18:08] <RAdams> tux: do they go away if you empty the trash?
[18:08] <Guest43141> hi
[18:08] <Wootie> Hello, where can i configure grub to default launch windows xp? :D
[18:09] <tux> RAdams, well yes of course...but then new trashed files do the same thing
[18:09] <Xazax> sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[18:09] <Tonehog> Hugowang: I'm sorry, I only have a single-boot with a virtual machine XP
[18:09] <yell0w> Wootie: sudo aptitude install startupmanager
[18:09] <jpds> !gksudo | Xazax
[18:09] <Hugowang> anyway, thanks
[18:09] <RAdams> Wootie: /boot/grub/menu.lst, change the default from "0" to the entry matching your Windows boot instructions. 0 is the first option in the boot menu, so count down from there. Or use default "saved". Read the comments in menu.lst
[18:09] <Per> per
[18:10] <RAdams> jpds: aptitude is not a graphical application
[18:10] <jpds> RAdams: He said: "sudo gedit"
[18:10] <Hugowang> i mount the windows partition in ubuntu, fortunately it is OK. and I backup all of  my data in windows xp.
[18:10] <RAdams> jpds:  Sorry, totally missed that. Just saw it
[18:10] <Wootie> i will try the startup manager i guess too
[18:10] <Tonehog> Does a KDE theme need *specific* support for Kontact? The theme isn't applying to the proogram.
[18:10] <Per> anyone know how to solve issues with complexed letters, in swedish -> ÅÄÖ. those are unable to write in some sites and for example google talk
[18:10] <Kidfork> RAdams: Can i install Ubuntu and dual-boot with windows with WUBI?
[18:10] <Hugowang> so I guess the disk file table has been wrong to XP ?
[18:10] <RAdams> Tonehog: iirc, yes
[18:10] <Hugowang> or something like that?
[18:10] <Kidfork> RAdams: Because i installed WUBI in Windows-Safemode
[18:10] <Guest43141> where can i get the drivers for mother boards foxconn???
[18:11] <Hugowang> but I dont know how to fix it. :(
[18:11] <RAdams> Kidfork: why in safe mode?
[18:11] <Lord_Phoenix> Guys, does someone use Last.Fm for Hardy?
[18:11] <tabber> Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. Choose one action:! getting closer
[18:11] <user_> Per: have you installed swedish language files and keyboard layout?
[18:11] <RAdams> Lord_Phoenix: the program, or just scrobbling in general?
[18:11] <BadElvis> RAdams, http://pastebin.ca/1057549
[18:11] <Per> user_: yes I have!
[18:11] <Yud_Zroc> hello peeps
[18:11] <Tonehog> Per: you can also use a special character applet as well.
[18:11] <Per> user_
[18:11] <Lord_Phoenix> RAdams: the application
[18:11] <Kidfork> RAdams: Idk why but one day i logged on WIndows and it was always crashing and lagging, but when i poped in the ubuntu live cd everything worked fine, thats why in safe mode
[18:11] <RAdams> Lord_Phoenix: ah. no then
[18:12] <esDebian-ve> Hi, how can i change the screen resolution in Hardy with the terminal?
[18:12] <Guest43141> where can i get the drivers for motherboards foxconn???
 where could I activate that one?
[18:12] <Lord_Phoenix> RAdams: may there is some kind of plugin for linux as well?
[18:12] <RAdams> Kidfork: installing wubi in safe mode is not recommended
[18:12] <Tonehog> EsDebian-ve: I usually edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
[18:12] <user_> Per: is googletalk entirely java script or a full application like *.exe?
[18:12] <RAdams> Lord_Phoenix: I have successfully used the rhythmbox and exaile! plugins for last.fm; they work fine
[18:12] <Kidfork> RAdams: I didn't realy have much of a choice
[18:12] <Tonehog> Per: Are you using ubuntu or kubuntu?
[18:13] <RAdams> user_: it's a full app
[18:13] <Guest43141> where can i get the drivers for mother boards foxconn???
 google talk it is an java application
[18:13] <Lord_Phoenix> RAdams: okay, will check it, thx
[18:13] <RAdams> Kidfork: might be time to reinstall and fix Windows then. Because installing it in safe mode is not likely to result in a workable environment
[18:13] <esDebian-ve> Tonehog: In Hardy that file is nearly empty.
 I am using Ubuntu Hardy Heron
[18:13] <user_> Per: if the other site use java for input routines it could be a java problem
[18:13] <RAdams> per: googletalk is a full .exe application, not a java applet.
[18:13] <darncode> i'm trying to build a local mirror, does anyone know how to build file "Packages" ?
[18:14] <Yud_Zroc> when programming to make a program for linux (preferably a *.deb for ubuntu series) what language fits the most well
[18:14] <Tonehog> Per: right-click on one of the bars and add applet.
[18:14] <Kidfork> RAdams: Any idea on how to reinstall windows without its disc

[18:14] <RAdams> Yud_Zroc: do you like ketchup or mustard?
[18:14] <RAdams> Kidfork: you can't.
[18:14] <Per> user_: yes, you're right... I could remove java and try again, then reinstall java.
[18:14] <Yud_Zroc> ketchup
[18:14] <ApiphobicFlora> Oh boy am I having trouble.
[18:14] <RAdams> Kidfork: unless you have some kind of recovery partition on your hard drive

[18:15] <Tonehog> EsDebian-ve: mine's quite full.
[18:15] <user_> Per, RAdams wikipedia says its *.exe for windows (ok, thats logical), and flash for other platforms, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Talk
[18:16] <BoltClock> whats the minimum disk space required if i want to install ubuntu on my thumb drive?
[18:16] <ApiphobicFlora> I'm trying to reinstall windows from a recovery partition, but it kept giving me an error when it was trying to start.  I figured it was because my only available partition was formatted ext3, so I used a USB Ubuntu distro to reformat the partition fat32,and now i'm getting a grub error and can't even boot into the recovery partition, since I have to load windows through grub to get to the recovery program.
[18:16] <mudit> seems like multiple channels are not supported by the driver
[18:16] <Tonehog> EsDebian-ve: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23558/
[18:16] <user_> Per: you use "original" google talk?
[18:16] <Per> user_: google talk are flash?

[18:18] <esDebian-ve> Tonehog: Uh? Mine only have about ten lines.... I installed it from a base-cd, and KDE was the first GUI...
[18:18] <RAdams> BadElvis: your xorg.conf has no configuration information for your video card. Try 915resolution, as installing it will write intel configuration information into your xorg.conf. be prepared for an xorg crash, though. You may need to re-run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg if that happens. Make sure you select the right video driver from the options.
[18:19] <Tonehog> EsDebian-ve: try what RAdams stated.
[18:19] <RAdams> Guest81749: what isn't working
[18:19] <BadElvis> RAdams, is 915resolution a command?
[18:19] <RAdams> BadElvis: no, a package. You need to install it
[18:19] <user_> Per: it could be a flash problem then. can you check that the other sites, which also dont work, work with flash?
[18:19] <BadElvis> thx
[18:19] <mudit> Tonehog whenever i play an Audio from MP3 player on my desktop, the Audio wont work in browser, And when it is working in browser it wont work in the MP3 player
[18:19] <Tonehog> EsDebian-ve: what graphics card do you have on your computer?
[18:20] <Tonehog> Mudit: using ubuntu or kubuntu?
[18:20] <mudit> ubuntu Hardy
[18:20] <mudit> and Dell Notebook
[18:20] <Tonehog> Mudit: you should be able to set your desktop audio driver to ALSA, OSS, or PulseAudio(?)
[18:21] <Per> user_:the other site are www.smhi.se (swedish wheatersite) and the other flash things work just fine, but when I wanna write a name I have the same issues as in google talk
[18:21] <user_> Per: it could be a flash problem then. can you check that the other sites, which also dont work, use flash?
[18:21] <opt1k> hi, how can i split archives i've made with archive manager?

[18:23] <opt1k> Jack_Sparrow how to do that?
[18:23] <Tonehog> Mudit: I'm in KDE so I can't dig around for you and find it.

[18:28] <Tonehog> WhoNeedszzz: my point was if you have locations in that folder, if you remove them you might be able to take care of the wicd override.
[18:29] <WhoNeedszzz> Tonehog: didn't work
[18:29] <WhoNeedszzz> >>> how do i remove network-admin?
[18:29] <Tonehog> WhoNeedszzz: I think network-admin is a part of gnome-desktop.
[18:29] <BoltClock> user_: hmm you recommend xubuntu for my thumb drive?
[18:30] <sinn2df> can anyone help with mouse cursor disapearing.  restarting X does not fix, have to reboot.   happens 2 or 3 times a day.
[18:30] <BoltClock> user_: i think i might have to go with that too since the computers in school have specs only xubuntu would run efficiently on
[18:30] <BadElvis> RAdams, thanks a lot, im back at normal resolution and keyboard, where i was an hour ago! ill retry enabling my external monitor now...
[18:30] <user_> BoltClock: yes, i would think its the better shot then
[18:30] <BoltClock> user_: will i have a significantly different experience than the one i run on my desktop currently? since it uses xfce
[18:30] <cirkit> sinn2df: um what kind of mouse?
[18:30] <BoltClock> i use the original ubuntu on this machine
[18:30] <WhoNeedszzz> Is there not a config file that is being called to set default network manager?
[18:31] <Mythonarch> HELP
[18:31] <Mythonarch> please
[18:31] <Jack_Sparrow> opt1k Was that enough info or do you need something more?
[18:31] <Mythonarch> someone
[18:31] <BoltClock> !patience | mythonarch
[18:31] <WhoNeedszzz> Does anyone freaking know about network managers?!
[18:31] <Jack_Sparrow> !helpme > Mythonarch
[18:31] <cirkit> Mythonarch: you might be better off asking the question
[18:31] <sinn2df> sorry, generic usb wireless mouse
[18:31] <user_> BoltClock: cannot really tell, sorry, if you have time now and RAM just setup a virtual machine and start xubuntu. or live cd of course
[18:31] <ads_> my desktop is displaying larger than the viewable screen size.. can i scale my desktop down to fit??   chaning resolutions makes no difference, nor does changing the aspect ratio..
[18:32] <cirkit> sinn2df: if its a wireless mouse, try changing the batteries?
[18:32] <BoltClock> user_: ok, ill try the livecd tomorrow
[18:32] <Mythonarch> I've just installed mythbuntu, and connected up internet and my hauppage DVBT-USB stick. I don't know what to do, and the stick is not being recognised or something
[18:32] <BoltClock> user_: i wish to keep files on my thumbdrive for use with windows. will partitioning it into fat32 and ext3 do fine?
[18:33] <WhoNeedszzz> Hey guys. I'm using wicd as my network daemon but last night i accidentally clicked network and network-admin popped up and has taken control of my network settings. Anything i do in wicd is not being applied. How do i get control back? can someone please pm me if they can help?
[18:33] <Hexxeh> how do i change the default permissions for newly created files in a certain folder?
[18:33] <Nishkorma> How do i ocr an jpg image?

[18:34] <Jack_Sparrow> WhoNeedszzz Please hold down on the repeats
[18:34] <Tonehog> WhoNeedszzz: hammering a question won't get it answered any faster.
[18:34] <WhoNeedszzz> well it seems no one is seeing it...
[18:34] <cirkit> lol
[18:34] <Jack_Sparrow> WhoNeedszzz Try a little patience.
[18:34] <Hexxeh> not seeing what i need in man for chmod ads_
[18:34] <WhoNeedszzz> i've been patient
[18:34] <sinn2df> cirkit: it has rechargable batteries, and is currently pluged in.  the mouse still works, have to look for highlighted buttons, just the graphical cursor is gone.  had been using this mouse with slackware 12 for some time with no issues.
[18:35] <Jack_Sparrow> WhoNeedszzz being rude wont help either
[18:35] <WhoNeedszzz> i've waited a long time for no answers
[18:35] <Stormx2> We're volunteers. You can be patient, or you can leave.
[18:35] <ads_> Hexxeh:  chmod changes the permissions for a file    so if you chmod 777  this will allows veryone read write execute permissions  :)
[18:35] <WhoNeedszzz> I've been in here for at least an hour...
[18:35] <WhoNeedszzz> with no help
[18:35] <Hexxeh> ads_: but the files are created by a script, which isn't running as root
[18:35] <Mythonarch> I've just installed mythbuntu, and connected up internet and my hauppage DVBT-USB stick. I don't know what to do, and the stick is not being recognised or something
[18:35] <cirkit> sinn2df: hmm is the proper module loaded for your mouse device?
[18:35] <Hexxeh> i need the files created to be world readable by default, i do know how chmod works...
[18:36] <WhoNeedszzz> ...
[18:36] <Tonehog> WhoNeedszzz: I've tried answering your question but you haven't been providing enough info.
[18:36] <BoltClock> user_: will it depend entirely on the computer to decide whether to boot from my thumbdrive first?
[18:36] <ads_> Hexxeh: run it at the end of the script recursively
[18:36] <Nishkorma> Hi,how do i convert an image of a book to ascii chars?
[18:36] <t35t0r> anyone have working quickcam usb messenger pro webcam in hardy ?
[18:36] <cirkit> WhoNeedszzz: it might be that people don't have an answer to your question. Have you given the forums a shot?
[18:36] <scifiguy951> i have aquestion its about the automatic updates thing
[18:36] <Stormx2> WhoNeedszzz, you aren't entitled to anything. Again, we're all volunteers.
[18:36] <Hexxeh> ads_: but the script isn't running as root
[18:36] <WhoNeedszzz> Tonehog: your help is not what i'm asking
[18:36] <Jack_Sparrow> WhoNeedszzz you are free to sign up for paid tech support
[18:36] <user_> BoltClock: yes, it depends on the BIOS of the machine your sitting at
[18:36] <ads_> Hexxeh: im not sure then sorry
[18:37] <Stormx2> WhoNeedszzz, try enabled roaming mode for your network connection?
[18:37] <BoltClock> user_: oh dear. im not very hopeful about running ubuntu in school now...
[18:37] <user_> BoltClock: you school admin f.e. could block booting from usb..
[18:37] <WhoNeedszzz> Stormx2: i want to use wicd
[18:37] <WhoNeedszzz> Stormx2: anything i do in wicd is not working bc it is looking for things from network-admin
[18:37] <Hexxeh> BoltClock: many machines will let you select a boot device by press Esc at boot
[18:37] <WhoNeedszzz> where is the config file that tells ubuntu which network daemon to use?
[18:37] <BoltClock> Hexxeh: esc or F8?
[18:37] <Hexxeh> this won't be saved into your BIOS, and generally isn't password protected.
[18:38] <Hexxeh> Esc
[18:38] <Hexxeh> Usually.
[18:38] <Stormx2> WhoNeedszzz, I know.
[18:38] <Stormx2> Have you tried what I said?
[18:38] <Hexxeh> this works on most of the machines I've used.
[18:38] <user_> BoltClock: unless its really not password protected.
[18:38] <WhoNeedszzz> Stormx2: i deleted the network-admin profiles so it shouldn't be doing anyrthing
[18:38] <sinn2df> cirkit: im not sure.  dont really know where to look, thought that maybe restarting the mouse handler would work but have only been using ubuntu for a few days and have not figured out where all the conf files are or what handlers and system servers are used.
[18:38] <BoltClock> ok, think i may have to spend next week exploring.
[18:38] <WhoNeedszzz> anything*
[18:39] <cirkit> /etc/network/interfaces WhoNeedszzz
[18:39] <Tonehog> WhoNeedszzz: look in /etc/rc2.d.
[18:39] <Tonehog> For your daemons.
[18:39] <Nishkorma> F8 boot isnt password protected
[18:39] <BoltClock> Nishkorma: what about esc?
[18:39] <cirkit> sinn2df: what is the name / model of your mouse?
[18:39] <Hexxeh> BoltClock: it's the same thing, the button changes depends on your mobo
[18:40] <Nishkorma> I havnt yet found a machine with tht
[18:40] <BoltClock> Hexxeh: so its just the mobo
[18:40] <Sergeant_Pony> anyone know how I can get all 4 of my desktops to show up on 1 screen so I can see them all at once? <super>e they are too small to see what's going on in each window.
[18:40] <sinn2df> cirkit: targus amw15us
[18:40] <Nishkorma> Yeah,dpends on ur motherboard
[18:40] <WhoNeedszzz> is there a way to reset network settings?
[18:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Sergeant_Pony /join #compiz
[18:41] <Hexxeh> BoltClock: yes.
[18:41] <opt1k> Jack_Sparrow: I could use some more info

[18:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Tonehog Beryl is not longer, it merged with compiz-fusion

[18:56] <Ashfire908> Is it documentated or noted anywhere what configure options were used to build a program for it's  package?
[18:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Dream recovery mode should be the second option in your grub list..  it should boot to a cli prompt.. you should be able to type startx and get a gui
[18:56] <cirkit> sinn2df: /dev/psaux is psuedo so that may be why your mouse cursor gets lost

[19:02] <Ashfire908> Can I do wildcards in /etc/hosts?
[19:03] <cirkit> RonLu1: can you open other files with OO presentation that are not Gmail?

[19:04] <fester64> is that cirkit queer in here
[19:05] <WhoNeedszzz> How do i change the default network manager?
[19:05] <suprfish> Hi, I can't seem to get any help on this problem in the forums, I was wondering if anyone here could have a look: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5280320
[19:07] <BoltClock> some articles say that i really only need 1 gb of space to fit ubuntu (the one using gnome), but is it 1 or 4 gb?
[19:07] <RonLu1> ...?
[19:07] <cirkit> RonLu1: system up to date?
[19:08] <cirkit> RonLu1: is your memory good still?
[19:08] <cirkit> could be a segfault 11 signal
[19:08] <DRebellion> BoltClock, I wouldn't count on 1gb of space. I would say 10gb would comfortably fit your system partition.
[19:08] <BoltClock> DRebellion: so much? thats even more than recommended
[19:08] <mudit> hi, iam looking for a system process monitor for ubuntu hardy, what option do i have
[19:09] <DRebellion> BoltClock, are you space-limited?
[19:09] <DRebellion> mudit, I would recommend conky
[19:09] <cirkit> mudit: ntop
[19:09] <BoltClock> DRebellion: its going into my thumbdrive
[19:09] <BoltClock> DRebellion: which is 4 gb
[19:09] <BoltClock> sorry for not making it clear again :x
[19:09] <DRebellion> BoltClock, ah, right. I would dedicate about half to system, half to FAT for files
[19:09] <RonLu1> cirkit: system is up do date I think.... "memory good still"=?
[19:10] <cirkit> RonLu1: your RAM on your system, do you know if its good still? old RAM? new RAM?
[19:10] <BoltClock> DRebellion: so would that make 2 gb (half) ok for ubuntu?
[19:10] <DRebellion> BoltClock, I said 10gb because, on modern hardware, there is no need to be minimal.
[19:10]  * Dream is away DrWho is on
[19:10] <DRebellion> BoltClock, sure.
[19:10] <l3oddah> i have a hdd that was sdb, I accidentally deleted the partition on that drive thinking it was my usb stick, i have not formatted or repartitioned, does anyone know of a way i can get the data off that drive?
[19:11] <DRebellion> l3oddah, it can be done. Just not exactly sure how. A quick google search would do wonders, methinks.
[19:11] <cirkit> RonLu1: if your system is only locking up with oo presentation it may be a possible bug with oo
[19:11] <mudit> conly comes with a gui ?

[19:11] <l3oddah> DRebellion, thanks i am currently looking on google with no luck yet
[19:11] <DRebellion> l3oddah, hmm.
[19:12] <BoltClock> DRebellion: im thinking of trying xubuntu instead, though, because my school's computers have quite bad specs: 128 mb ram, for one. not sure about the graphics cards. im downloading xubuntu's iso to try it via live cd

[19:20] <ads_> octan21: 90% of them time works evrytime
[19:21] <InsomniaCity`> so, any idea how I can find the device manager?
[19:21] <RonLu1> cirkit: the thing is, that I tried to open that file and the fasly closed it (forced close) but my system worked very very slow after that and I had to do restart aswell.....
[19:21] <octan21> i think that the speed is the problem
[19:21] <octan21> it solved it on a different O.S.
[19:21] <octan21> do anybody knows how to change the mode to 802.11b on an intel2200?
[19:22] <cirkit> RonLu1: ah sounds like the process is still trying to start in some way then
[19:22] <ads_> octan21: using calculus?
[19:22] <RonLu1> cirkit: sounds strange.... what should I search in dmesg?
[19:23] <cirkit> RonLu1: any errors of any kind starting from the bottom up?
[19:23] <ads_> ron burgandy told me so.. may i adjust my visible desktop size down???   all resolutions are scaling my desktop slightly larger than is viewable
[19:24] <RonLu1> cirkit: it's only about the last session isn't it?
[19:24] <sinn2df> cirkit: tried changing mose dev but no matter if i set it to auto dev, usb, ps2, imps2 there was either no cursor or mouse would not work at all.  thanks for your help though.  is there any program to help setup xorg.conf file.  i had to piece mine together from postings to beable to get monitor support.  i dont like the generic conf file generated by debconf.
[19:26] <RonLu1> cirkit: if so, I can't see the problem as I can't run anything when the file is being opened or after I close OO....
[19:26] <cirkit> RonLu1: it keeps logs not just from the last session ... but yeah the last entries in dmesg are the most current
[19:26] <cirkit> RonLu1: do you have the correct video drivers installed?
[19:26] <user_> hiptobecubic: gmimms?
[19:26] <cirkit> sinn2df: what graphics card do you have?
[19:27] <hiptobecubic> user_, yeah i found mimms, i didn't know there was a gui version. i'll look into it thanks :D
[19:27] <RonLu1> I didn't installed any video drivers.... but the nvidia restricted driver or so is active.... what it has to do with OO?
[19:27] <hiptobecubic> user_, apt-get didn't find it
[19:27] <sinn2df> also anyone know why using the nvidia driver (to get 3d support and make full use of my vid card) slows down my system to the point that it takes 2 minutes for a window or program to become active.
[19:28] <cirkit> sinn2df: X -configure
[19:28] <sinn2df> cirkit: nvidia geforce 6150 le onboard
[19:28] <user_> hiptobecubic: true, but mimms is fairly easy to use, didnt know gmimms was just an frontend..
[19:29] <hiptobecubic> user_, yeah i've got it working. mimms <options> URL <output> .   thanks for your help :D
[19:29] <user_> hiptobecubic: which mms url are you using? i'd like to test it, seems to be a nice tool
[19:30] <hiptobecubic> user_,  mms://a988.v101995.c10199.e.vm.akamaistream.net/7/988/10199/3f97c7e6/ftvigrp.download.akamai.com/10199/horsgv/regions/bfc/HD_1900_dijon_jtregional_280608.wmv
[19:30] <hiptobecubic> it's a french news cast
[19:30] <hiptobecubic> it's also big and slow. i suggest googling for a small one to test
[19:32] <candell> weird
[19:32] <jose__> hi
[19:32] <jose__> how is everybody doing here?
[19:32] <user_> hiptobecubic: cool, feel like kind of a cracker now
[19:32] <candell> chillin
[19:32] <jose__> I need some help
[19:33] <sinn2df> sorry to ask so many questions cirkit, thanks for the help.
[19:33] <jose__> I can't get my hardy to recognize the ati graphic card
[19:33] <codecowboy>  hi. i followed some instructions for compiling a wireless driver which required that I insert the module using /sbin/insmod rt2870.ko. This works. However, I would like the module to load at boot. I've tried using modprobe  to load the module but I get 'FATAL: module x cannot be found'
[19:34] <cirkit> sinn2df: backup your current xorg.conf and run nvidia-xconfig
[19:34] <greenfishx3> whats the command to update and upgrade at the same time? ive tried sudo apt-get update && upgrade, failed
[19:34] <cirkit> sinn2df: then restart once complete
[19:34] <codecowboy>  i copied the .ko file to /lib/modules/ but modprobe doesnt find it. WHat am I missing here? I;ve done a depmod -a
[19:34] <greenfishx3> nvm its solved
[19:34] <wols> codecowboy: depmod -a   after you have copied it to the proper lib/modules dir. also do not use modprobe
[19:34] <wols> use /etc/modules
[19:35] <sinn2df> ok, thanks again.
[19:35] <cirkit> sinn2df: np ;)
[19:35] <codecowboy> wols: thanks. what is the 'proper' dir?
[19:35] <testest> hi
[19:35] <wols> depends on the module. read its dochs
[19:35] <wols> *docs
[19:35] <high-freq> has anyone had problems with b43 (broadcom 431x) and wifi-radar?  doesn't seem like it wants to connect at all anymore after upgrade
[19:35] <codecowboy> wols:the docs do not say
[19:35] <sanzanric> high-freq: yes
[19:36] <high-freq> any fix?
[19:36] <codecowboy> woldthey are cr*p
[19:36] <wols> then ask whoever gave you the driver
[19:36] <high-freq> besides using ndiswrapper
[19:36] <codecowboy> wols:  they are cr*p
[19:36] <sanzanric> high-freq: sorry, but i justed used nm
[19:36] <eyeslocal> When I'm on a site with flash using FF3 occasionally FF3 will just crash and disappear. Is there a way to diagnose the problem and/or fix that?
[19:36] <testest> dude grub must installed to the first root hdd and no partition right or?
[19:36] <wols> testest: not necessarily
[19:36] <high-freq> nm?
[19:36] <webcamwonder> How do you completely restart the sound drivers and everything in Hardy?
[19:37] <codecowboy> wols: i was just using modprobe to see if adding the module to etc/modules was going to work as assumed it used modprobe
[19:37] <wols> eyeslocal: start ff3 from a terminal
[19:37] <eyeslocal> wols: giving that a try
[19:37] <testest> what wols?
[19:37] <jonathan123> hello!
[19:37] <sanzanric> high-freq: networkmanager the default manger
[19:37] <jonathan123> i have 120 pictures
[19:37] <wols> testest: it can be installed in a partition just fine if you want
[19:38] <high-freq> hmm
[19:38] <webcamwonder> How do you completely restart everything related to sound drivers in hardy?
[19:38] <cirkit> webcamwonder: /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[19:39] <jonathan123> but because i forgot to put a 00 infront of the numbers lower then 10 and a 0 infront of numbers lower than 100 the pictures are sorted very strangely in konqueror/dolphin etc...
[19:39] <jonathan123> to rename them correctly i need to sort them correctly first
[19:39] <eyeslocal> wols: well this is weird. FF3 starts up just fine but I get this in the console:
[19:39] <eyeslocal> eyeslocal@hardytaketwo:~$ firefox
[19:39] <sanzanric> high-freq: do you have wpa or something like that, or why did you decide to used wifi-radar
[19:39] <eyeslocal> Segmentation fault
[19:39] <webcamwonder> cirkit: Is the sound suppose to be this much buggy?
[19:39] <eyeslocal> eyeslocal@hardytaketwo:~$
[19:39] <FloodBot1> eyeslocal: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:39] <webcamwonder> cirkit: And that doesn't solve my problems
[19:39] <BoltClock> !pastebin | eyeslocal
[19:39] <jonathan123> but i can't find any option that gives me the oportunity to do this
[19:39] <high-freq> sanzanric: just wep
[19:39] <cirkit> webcamwonder: no ... it could be the chipset your sound card uses that is buggy
[19:40] <webcamwonder> cirkit: Intel Audio? Do you know if it is flaky?
[19:40] <cirkit> webcamwonder: what happens with it?
[19:40] <anteaya> fyi, just received an email about the launch of this wiki for those interested in FOSS: http://freeopensourcesoftware.org/index.php?title=Main_Page
[19:40] <webcamwonder> cirkit: The sound driver just dies while playing any audio
[19:40] <sanzanric> high-freq: hmm, just asking, but have you added yourself to the wifi-radar group?
[19:40] <high-freq> nope
[19:41] <webcamwonder> cirkit: After which Amarok refuses to start, and Mplayer pauses after starting a video

[19:43] <webcamwonder> cirkit: Ok, they are set on autodetect, force Alsa?
[19:43] <Cpudan80> Erick: to edit it - use gedit or vim
[19:43] <cirkit> webcamwonder: or pulse audio (recommended)
[19:43] <Erick> Cpudan80, i wanna use ternmial
[19:43] <greenfishx3> should i always do purge after apt-get remove ?
[19:43] <Erick> terminal*
[19:44] <webcamwonder> cirkit: PulseAudio Sound Server?

[19:45] <eyeslocal> old school *nix :)
[19:45] <webcamwonder> cirkit: Pastebin?
[19:45] <cirkit> yeah
[19:45] <webcamwonder> !pastebin | webcamwonder
[19:45] <Storrgie> anyone use 7zip?
[19:45] <eyeslocal> wols: here's what I get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23571/
[19:46] <user_> !ask | Storrgie
[19:46] <webcamwonder> cirkit: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23572/
[19:46] <Storrgie> I just installed 7zip... but i dont know how to get it to run
[19:46] <carlyn> do you have to use sudo for make install?
[19:46] <eyeslocal> Storrgie: It is a terminal app in *nix
[19:47] <Jack_Sparrow> carlyn no
[19:47] <Storrgie> eyeslocal: really? not g?
[19:47] <Storrgie> eyeslocal: hmm, guess i better move to tar.gz instead of 7z's
[19:47] <Jack_Sparrow> carlyn How to install anything in Ubuntu: http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/
[19:47] <eyeslocal> Storrgie: unfortunately only CLI
[19:47] <cirkit> webcamwonder: well it has no trouble finding your device ... as root open /etc/group and make sure audio:x:29: has your username in that group like audio:x:29:webcamwonder
[19:48] <cirkit> webcamwonder: could be a permissions issue
[19:48] <Storrgie> eyeslocal: Any archiver you would suggest?
[19:48] <gopp> what the fluxbox gui for remote desktop
[19:48] <Storrgie> eyeslocal: I really liked 7z
[19:48] <cirkit> gopp: vnc?
[19:48] <gopp> I mean for client to remote to terminal service
[19:48] <eyeslocal> Storrgie: 7z --help in terminal
[19:48] <wols> webcamwonder: run "id". what does it say?
[19:48] <gopp> rdesktop gui
[19:48] <wols> gopp: apt-cache search rdp
[19:49] <eyeslocal> it's not that hard to use, but no gui for it in nix yet
[19:49] <gopp> Wols thanks]
[19:49] <gopp> oh k
[19:49] <Storrgie> eyeslocal: what about xarchiver?
[19:49] <user_> eyeslocal: i always forget the program name 7z
[19:49] <webcamwonder> wols: A bunch of ids related to permissions? Anything specific?
[19:49] <eyeslocal> user_: yeah I hear ya. :)
[19:49] <wols> webcamwonder: paste it
[19:49] <eyeslocal> Storrgie: I still with gzip myself
[19:49] <webcamwonder> cirkit: Ok, looks like my Sound buffer just got flushed
[19:50] <webcamwonder> cirkit: Old sound went through and my driver is back up
[19:50] <Storrgie> When i use the package manager inherent to ubuntu (synaptics?) and I perform a 'remove' can I expect it to clean everything up?
[19:50] <webcamwonder> cirkit: The problem is, it happens to often, sorry for multiple lines too used to it
[19:50] <eyeslocal> anyone else have an issue with Flash crashing Firefox?
[19:50] <carlyn> Jack_Sparrow: Thanks is link good for something thats not in package manager form? version is too recent
[19:50] <DRLD> hi. is it okay to ask a few questions in here? i am having a little trouble with a memory stick reader
[19:50] <wols> DRLD: do you run ubuntu?
[19:50] <DRLD> yes
[19:51] <wols> the sure
[19:51] <wols> *then
[19:51] <DRLD> k cool
[19:51] <eyeslocal> Storrgie: if you do a 'mark for complete removal', yes
[19:51] <Jack_Sparrow> carlyn as it says.. how to install anything, from pkg to source
[19:51] <user_> eyeslocal: adobe flash yes, though not so often anymore, well only using youtube and stuff
[19:51] <Claw6> hello i have a problem... my wifi device isnt detected anymore in my eeepc - what can i do ?
[19:51] <wild_oscar> odd problem - when Hardy starts, desktop image and/or desktop icons don't show. If I logout and login again, they show
[19:51] <wild_oscar> any suggestions?
[19:51] <Storrgie> how do i do that?
[19:51] <eyeslocal> user_: exactly! it got less frequent after I installed flash 10beta but it still occurs sometimes. No fix?
[19:51] <wols> Claw6: does lspci detect it?
[19:51] <DRLD> i have a a built in magicgate memory card reader, and for some reason it doesn't automount. when i tried to mount it manually. it doesn't even pick up the card at all.
[19:52] <DRLD> any ideas on this?
[19:52] <eyeslocal> Storrgie: are you talking synaptic or aptitude/apt-get
[19:52] <wols> DRLD: you sure magicgate is supported? evil Sony DRM
[19:52] <johnkirk8719> HI EVERYONE
[19:52] <cirkit> lol
[19:53] <user_> eyeslocal: i guess no. adobe flash closed source seems to be the cuplrit, though i always though that a crashing flash instance should not have the result of a ff crash/hang necessarily
[19:53] <carlyn> Jack_Sparrow: it says in http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/#installing_with_terminal to use sudo  make install ? but you said no?
[19:53] <Storrgie> eyeslocal: I am using the 'add/remove' in the normal ubuntu UI
[19:53] <DRLD> not sure. i was using fedora for the past two months, and it was able to pick up the card reader. i would just have to find it in /dev/ and mount it manually.
[19:53] <wols> carlyn: of you do this it's almost impossible to uninstall it cleanly again
[19:53] <johnkirk8719> SO WATS EVERYONE UP TO
[19:53] <wols> also dependencies might break if it's a library
[19:53] <DRLD> i switched to ubuntu cuz it runs much cleaner
[19:53] <wols> !caps | johnkirk8719
[19:53] <carlyn> Jack_Sparrow:  it installs fine but I have to use sudo to run the installed program !
[19:53] <sanzanric> DRLD: give us the output of lsmod
[19:53] <Storrgie> ubottu: I love you
[19:53] <DRLD> k
[19:53] <johnkirk8719> I WAS WONDERIN IF ANYONE GOT ANY NOVA PARTS
[19:53] <cirkit> omg
[19:53] <eyeslocal> Storrgie: ah well switch to system>administration>synaptics package manager
[19:54] <Storrgie> johnkirk8719: I want to murder you.
[19:54] <Claw6> hello i have a problem... my wifi device isnt detected anymore in my eeepc - what can i do ?
[19:54] <wols> johnkirk8719: do you have a ubuntu related question?
[19:54] <wols> Claw6: I asked you something.
[19:54] <carlyn> wols: so developers dont use ubuntu? or ???
[19:54] <wols> !repeat Claw6
[19:54] <johnkirk8719> HEY
[19:54] <wols> !repeat | Claw6
[19:54] <DRLD> sanzaric: should i just paste it here? or in a pm?
[19:54] <eyeslocal> user_: crap. that's a tough bug to deal with
[19:54] <wols> carlyn: developers are different. you aren't one, at least not for that app
[19:54] <Claw6> no detect
[19:54] <Storrgie> !flood Johnnkirk
[19:55] <wols> !paste | DRLD
[19:55] <carlyn> wols: yes I am?
[19:55] <wild_oscar> odd problem - when Hardy starts, desktop image and/or desktop icons don't show. If I logout and login again, they show
[19:55] <sanzanric> whats up?
[19:55] <wols> carlyn: then you shouldn't need to ask
[19:55] <carlyn> wols: but obviously not the lead
[19:56] <Claw6> no theres nothing wols
[19:56] <DRLD> thnx
[19:56] <DRLD> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23575/
[19:56] <carlyn> wols: OK the dum must stay dum ... I thought it was allowed here to ask questions so you dont stay dum?
[19:56] <Pibb> Im having a problem connecting to sites, most sites works but some give a "failed to connect" error in every browser I try, and when I ping the sites it says "destination port unreachable". Like half the sites in a google search give the error
[19:56] <wols> carlyn: ubuntu related questions. and Jack_Sparrow told you the ubuntu way(tm)
[19:56] <orbisvicis> i suddenly get no images over Xvnc ... is this recent, just me etc ?
[19:56] <wols> carlyn: and the ubuntu way is the only thing you can get here
[19:57] <user_> Pibb: flaky router at home, corporate firewall, etc.?
[19:57] <orbisvicis> actually all the images are replaced by black proxies
[19:57] <definitely> Anyway to connect My Creative Zen 4 GB to Ubuntu
[19:57] <definitely>  ?
[19:58] <Pibb> user_: it works fine on XP
[19:58] <Storrgie> suggestion please -- I am thinking of using an email client with my gmail, should i use evolution or thunderbird?
[19:58] <asd__> hi
[19:58] <wols> Storrgie: any mail client works
[19:58] <Jack_Sparrow> Storrgie thunderbird
[19:58] <user_> Pibb: could be a router problem then, are you on wifi?
[19:58] <wols> definitely: plug it in. if it's a mass storage device it will work
[19:58] <Storrgie> Jack_Sparrow: the reason i was thinking thunderbird was that it is cross platform...
[19:58] <DRLD> Storrgie: thunderbirdis is nice
[19:58] <definitely> wols: Nothing does for me :(
[19:59] <Storrgie> DRLD: thanks
[19:59] <Pibb> user_: no, im just connected to my cable modem
[19:59] <wols> definitely: plug it in and pastebin your dmesg output
[19:59] <DRLD> thunderbird*
[19:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Storrgie and set it up using imap so you can pull your email from any pc and not lose them from the server until you specifically want to remove them
[19:59] <Storrgie> awesome, which thing thing do i nab in synaptics
[20:00] <definitely> wols: what is dmesg ?
[20:00] <wols> definitely: a command
[20:00] <eyeslocal> Storrgie: depends on what you're trying to uninstall
[20:00] <Storrgie> Jack_Sparrow: can I install thunderbird through synaptics?
[20:01] <cirkit> Storrgie: yes
[20:01] <user_> Pibb: hmm, i dont have much of a clue, sorry, thats the only hint i could give so far: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE#Error%20logs

[20:05] <kvik_> HI all, How can i see what IP's my DHCP server send's out to my workstations?
[20:06] <webcamwonder> cirkit: Playback: ALSA PCM on front:0 (Intel ...) via DMA (PulseAudio Mixer)? Sound right?
[20:06] <Alexander> Hey, I had a corrupted install of ubuntu, so I resized partitions using Knoppix and installed Ubuntu on another partition so I could copy from the old to the new, how can I remove the first install?
[20:06] <cirkit> webcamwonder: select alsa master on front if possible
[20:07] <cirkit> webcamwonder: but yeah thats how I have mine setup
[20:07] <eyeslocal> esac: change your alias for ls, and configure the --color switch differently
[20:07] <webcamwonder> cirkit: I don't get a front option in Alsa
[20:07] <esac> eyeslocal, where is this set ?
[20:07] <cirkit> webcamwonder: PCM should be fine
[20:08] <eyeslocal> esac: type alias in a term
[20:08] <webcamwonder> cirkit: Thank you very much for your help!
[20:08] <InsomniaCity`> Hi! I installed some ndiswrapper+driver for my wireless card, but now my wired card stopped working, and appears at "Illegal Vendor ID" in lshw

[20:08] <eyeslocal> esac: oh wait that's just to enable colors. what you need is to change your LS_COLORS environmental variable. Type dircolors in a term

[20:09] <Drod> hi Alenxander, I would guess that gparted can help you erase the partition with the bad ubuntu isntall

[20:10] <Drod> Alexander, not to my knowledge, but to modify the disk you boot with, you need to log in with the Gparted LiveCD (ie you cannot resize a disk you have mounted)
[20:10] <user_> kvik_: also try #ubuntu-server
[20:10] <Drod> Alexander, so, how does your grub menu looks like now? you see both installs?
[20:11] <Alexander> Drod, Yes
[20:11] <Xazax> hi! i have some trouble with my internet under ubuntu. I have an usb adsl modem and i can't connect to internet. Yesterday everything worked well without any driver or setup or configuration
[20:11] <Drod> grub is just a list to locations, you can always open it in "notepad" and erase the references to the bad one...but to be honest, lets wait for a more experienced guy
[20:12] <Alexander> I'll just take a look in nano or something, just to see what I'm dealing with
[20:12] <Alexander> Thanks for your help Drod

[20:15] <netcrash> "invalid or unsupported executable format" <- this error while botting linux may be related to a bad kernel package ?
[20:15] <napopa> sofiankrt, what about VAR=`pidof script-name`
[20:15] <Dream> Busybox has apeared upon startup, what do i do?
[20:15] <sofiankrt> and I need each one to store its own vip
[20:15] <dr_Willis> sofiankrt,  you may want to check the advanced bash scripting guide for examples.
[20:15] <cirkit> plouffe: java -version
[20:15] <dr_Willis> !abs
[20:16] <kaizener> hi room
[20:16] <sofiankrt> napopa: that would return many pids if I'm running this script multiple times
[20:16] <plouffe> thanks
[20:16] <dr_Willis> sofiankrt,  running it many times.. is going to have many different pids..
[20:16] <sofiankrt> dr_Willis: exactly
[20:17] <sofiankrt> dr_Willis: so, for example
[20:17] <dr_Willis> sofiankrt,  thats how any program works.
[20:17] <sofiankrt> dr_Willis: if I run it now
[20:17] <sofiankrt> dr_Willis: it returns its current pid
[20:17] <kaizener> my network settings are changing after some time.Do u know anything about this issue?
[20:17] <wuxia> does anyone ahve experience using usb-dvi devices under linux?

[20:18] <leprasmurf> For anyone interested, I just installed firefox and flash via wine, which does not suffer from the arrow key bug:-D
[20:18] <sofiankrt> dr_Willis: the problem I'm facing is that if I run the same script for multiple contacts, when one logs out all of them will get the sigterm

[20:19] <Dream> doobeedoo, Magnetron/
[20:19] <msinani> amater
[20:19] <magnetron> Dream: you need to elaborate on your problem description, it's hard to work out what's wrong from the info you provided
[20:19] <leprasmurf> eyeslocal: yeah, I love the flash games, and used one howto to get rid of a audio problem which included going up to flash 10.  that seemed to of broken the arrow keys or functions called by the arrow keys
[20:20] <K`zan_emc> Thanks anyway folks, copying the file to a CD and walking it over worked :-)!
[20:20] <sofiankrt> dr_Willis: any ideas?
[20:20] <msinani> i dont and
[20:20] <leprasmurf> eyeslocal: I did some googling, there's even a adobe jira on it for linux and ff3
[20:20] <cbones> help...... i can't seem to get my true mobile 1300 mini pci wireless  driver to download
[20:20] <Dream> >_< lol, well, basicly, i turned on my computer got dual boot, selected ubuntu, everything fine, get loading screen and lo-an-behold Busybox was there
[20:21] <dr_Willis> sofiankrt,  not really, not clear on what you are doing. I would say check that ABS guide for examples of catching the signals.   or there may be some other better way to do what you are trying to do.
[20:21] <eyeslocal> leprasmurf: I had flash probs and went to flash10 as well, but my arrow keys seem to function fine. However, FF still crashes sometimes on a flash page... which I can't seem to fix
[20:21] <wuxia> anone have expericnce with usb-dvi devices under ubuntu ?
[20:21] <dr_Willis> wuxia,  you mean like a usb -> video monitor device?
[20:22] <user_> sofiankrt: #bash has excellent FAQs in their channel topic
[20:22] <wuxia> dr_willis yep
[20:22] <sofiankrt> dr_Willis: I am catching the signal, my problem is that if I run multiple instances of the script, all of them will catch the signal
[20:22] <magnetron> Dream: If you boot in recovery mode, it will show you the errors that lead to a failure to boot.
[20:22] <Dream> ok, and i do that how?
[20:22] <Jack_Sparrow> magnetron dream was told that an hour ago
[20:22] <Alestan> Is there any way to use the old config program, I think it was called "screens and graphics" under the latest version of ubuntu?
[20:23] <magnetron> Jack_Sparrow: i see.
[20:23] <Dream> also, jack i didnt see that
[20:23] <dr_Willis> sofiankrt,  sounds like a rather advanced bash topic. Ive not had to mess with that aspect of bash. so cant help.
[20:23] <Lynet> Dream: Is this a fresh install? Did it work earlier? Did you move disks around? Does it work if you try to boot with an older kernel?
[20:23] <magnetron> Dream: it's in the list when you boot up. it's labelled "recovery mode"
[20:23] <Dream> it worked 3 days ago, i went for a weekend break, get back and WHACK
[20:23] <Dream> it didnt offer recovery mode...
[20:24] <sofiankrt> dr_Willis: I'll try asking in #bash, my email address is on the website if you want to contact me
[20:24] <user_> sofiankrt: #bash has excellent FAQs in their channel topic
[20:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Dream You responded and I told you it should have been the second option under yuour normal ubuntu boot in grub and to try startx at the cli..  No I guess we never had that conversation
[20:24] <Dream> ive got a dual boot, and it says nothing of recovery
[20:24] <dr_Willis> sofiankrt,  that url timed out. :)
[20:24] <cbones> I'm trying to get thing to work for my son  who is home on leave so he can take it with him when he goes back
[20:24] <sofiankrt> dr_Willis: lol<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[20:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Dream It does not say recovery
[20:24] <Dream> no it doesnt
[20:24] <magnetron> Dream: do you see several of the options labelled "ubuntu"? some of them are labelled "recovery"
[20:24] <dr_Willis> sofiankrt,  it may be bash is not the best tool for the job in this case. :)
[20:24] <leprasmurf> eyeslocal: it must be an intermittent problem, otherwise it'd have more attention
[20:24] <Jack_Sparrow> magnetron he is all yours..
[20:25] <sofiankrt> user_: it's advanced bash, I don't think it will be on the faq, but I'll check anyway. thanks
[20:25] <user_> sofiankrt: you dont know what simple and advanced is
[20:25] <Dream> ok, lets see, im at the dual boot menu, win XP, ubuntu *choses ubuntu*
[20:25] <InforMed> HI! Is there anyway to make pulseaudio use micro jack as a second headphone jack??? On windows I can make that using realtek software! Thanks
[20:25] <magnetron> Dream: are you using wubi?
[20:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Dream What other option do you have in that menu.. and is this a wubi install or anything other than a real install
[20:26] <Dream> i used it to install, "press esc to enter menu" never done it, *presses esc*
[20:26] <eyeslocal> leprasmurf: completely intermittent, and occurs less for me now that i'm using flash10, with flash9 it was 1:3 times
[20:26] <magnetron> !who | Dream
[20:26] <Dream> ok, i see a list... :O recovery
[20:26] <sofiankrt> user_: no need to get aggressive!
[20:26] <eyeslocal> leprasmurf: but user_ here has the same issue so at least I know I'm not the only one!

[20:30] <perkins> For some reason, when I use dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg it doesn't let me reconfigure the display, only the keyboard/mouse setup, any ideas what to do about it?
[20:30] <cbones> i started out with wget http://bu3sch.de/b43/fwcutter/b43-fwcutter-011.tar.bz2
[20:31] <magnetron> Dream: *what* gives error code 15? grub?
[20:31] <Dream> magnetron: no idea XD
[20:31] <cirkit> cbones: no problems here wget'ing that file
[20:31] <Dream> magnetron: *picks out key points*, operating system crash
[20:32] <magnetron> Dream: did you use the recovery option with the *highest* version number?
[20:32] <Dream> magnetron: yes, they where all the same
[20:32] <magnetron> Dream: no, they are not
[20:32] <Dream> magnetron: kernel number was the same
[20:33] <Dream> magnetron: really was, i looked down the list of 5 several times,
[20:33] <cbones> i use this step next  tar xjf b43-fwcutter-011.tar.bz2
[20:33] <annie_g> What would be a correct shell for "devinfo" for Ubuntu ?
[20:33] <plouffe> Does anyone use solfege? I installed it, but it crashes every time I try to start it from the menu. I had the same problem with istanbul.
[20:34] <Dream> magnetron: erm, im going to follow the instructions after i take note XD
[20:34] <plouffe> the window shows up for a second, then poofff
[20:34] <cbones> then cd b43-fwcutter-011
[20:34] <magnetron> Dream: they are NOT the same version. look at the last number, after the dash (-)
[20:34] <cbones> make
[20:34] <cbones> cd
[20:34] <annie_g> Would like a list of devices.... ?
[20:34] <Dream> magnetron: was the same
[20:34] <Dream> magnetron: im not joking, it really was
[20:34] <perkins> I would try back later, they are busy with their own trouble,
[20:34] <cbones> then comes the firmware that is were my problem starts
[20:35] <magnetron> Dream: you have SEVERAL kernels labelled "recovery" with the SAME version number?
[20:35] <annie_g> Shell command used for Devie Info ? ?
[20:35] <Dream> magnetron: yes
[20:35] <magnetron> annie_g: lspci is common

[20:35] <cbones> sorry this his wife
[20:36] <Dream> magnetron: ok, i ran the highest one
[20:36] <cbones> nothing works
[20:36] <cbones> i still have no wireless
[20:37] <annie_g> magnetron: That works for me - thanks again.... :o)
[20:37] <magnetron> Dream: now, i didn't really catch your answer: Did you install ubuntu using Wubi?
[20:37] <cirkit> cbones: please look at the last post http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/problem-with-b43-fwcutter-on-hardy-heron-638375/
[20:37] <magnetron> annie_g: you're welcome.
[20:37] <Dream> magnetron: yes i installed with wubi
[20:38] <Illuzionz> Hello
[20:38] <magnetron> Dream: it seems like someone has removed the file where ubuntu is stored (or moved it, or renamed it)
[20:38] <Dream> magnetron: nope, no one touched my computer for 3 days
[20:38] <hoonteke> so I finally got my nvidia drivers working, but now I only have one resolution for my laptop (1280x800), which is it's correct max resolution.  However, I have various reasons for needing to switch to other resolutions.  How can I can get the other resolutions back?
[20:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Dream Wubi is not a good long term solution..  Advised only for testing how it works on your hardware
[20:39] <magnetron> Dream: somehow, it's damaged. it's hard for me to work out how or why.
[20:39] <hiptobecubic> i'm happy to report that i haven't found ONE functional piece of video editing software available for linux.
[20:39] <Dream> magnetron: "run chkdsk /r in windows"
[20:39] <cirkit> hiptobecubic: congratulations
[20:39] <magnetron> hiptobecubic: please share the name of it
[20:40] <hoonteke> hiptobecubic: that can't be right.  Linux Journal just did a comparison of video editing software
[20:40] <Dream> magnetron: basicly what im bieng told to do, so im going to do that ^^
[20:40] <cbones> ok
[20:40] <hiptobecubic> Perhaps you misread.
[20:40] <the_eraser> hi is there an easy way to remove unused configuration files?
[20:40] <Leefmc> Question: I know there is somethin, but i can't find the name. Is there something to make your multiple desktops share 1 continuous background?
[20:40] <hiptobecubic> hoonteke, i'm goign to look it up, becase i'm having absolutely no luck at all.
[20:40] <magnetron> hiptobecubic: oh, i thought you said that you were happy
[20:40] <hiptobecubic> If only VLC could crop and save :D
[20:41] <cirkit> hiptobecubic: please look into ffmpeg, thanks.
[20:41] <eyeslocal> hoonteke: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and edit the monitor section
[20:41] <sofiankrt> dr_Willis: they totally ignored me!
[20:41] <sofiankrt> dr_Willis: couldn't find anything
[20:42] <Dream> magnetron: microsoft feels wierd on this computer now >_<, just thaught i'd add it ^^
[20:42] <eyeslocal> hiptobecubic: go to studioubuntu.org and look at the packages. OpenSourceEditor was a pretty good one, if I recall
[20:42] <Blaqlight> wine is already up to 1.1.0?
[20:42] <Blaqlight> geez.
[20:43] <eyeslocal> already? It took >10 years! :)
[20:43] <hoonteke> hiptobecubic: Video Editors from Linux Journal's article (March, 2008)
[20:43] <Blaqlight> I completely missed 1.0...
[20:43] <wayne^^> since 1994

[20:44] <hoonteke> KDENLive (KDE Non-Linear Video Editor)
[20:44] <hoonteke> OpenMovieEditor
[20:44] <hoonteke> Blender
[20:44] <eyeslocal> openmovieeditor, that was it!
[20:44] <sofiankrt> dr_Willis: when I run track &, I get a pid. any chance I can save that pid and kill that exact process using it?
[20:45] <Jack_Sparrow> sofiankrt This is not a programming channel
[20:45] <eyeslocal> sofiankrt: track | sudo kill
[20:45] <eyeslocal> ah n/m that won't work
[20:46] <eyeslocal> didn't read the question correctly :P
[20:46] <sofiankrt> Jack_Sparrow: sorry, but no one is answering in #bash, can you suggest somewhere else?
[20:46] <eyeslocal> pgrep track | sudo kill
[20:46] <eyeslocal> that should do it
[20:46] <sofiankrt> eyeslocal: thanks, I'll try it
[20:47] <Jack_Sparrow> sofiankrt Patience in #bash or the abs-guide
[20:47] <Jack_Sparrow> !find abs
[20:47] <cbones> ok thank
[20:47] <hoonteke> hiptobecubic: Summary: KDENLive is nicer with eye candy and layout and preferences, but OpenMovieEditor is rock solid and works with any (opensource) codec, and Blender has a high learning curve because it's oriented toward the professional.  The latter two are beginning to push the mold, and KDENLive is hoped to do similar soon, given the competition.
[20:47] <eyeslocal> Jack_Sparrow: we don't answer bash questions here?
[20:48] <hoonteke> I tried all three with Gutsy, and they all three at least ran.  But I didn't do much anything fancy, just open a couple of test videos and see what effects and stuff I could do.
[20:48] <Jack_Sparrow> eyeslocal This is a support channel for ubuntu... programming have their own channels
[20:48] <sofiankrt> eyeslocal: not working, it's redirecting me to the help file
[20:48] <hiptobecubic> hoonteke, openmovieeditor almost worked. until i tried to save a project, preview the video, or encode anything. then it would crash without saving :-/ i'm reading the linjournal aritcle
[20:49] <sofiankrt> eyeslocal: http://sofiankrt.infinites.net/bin/track
[20:49] <sofiankrt> eyeslocal: that's the script
[20:49] <eyeslocal> sofiankrt: priv chat

[20:49] <sofiankrt> eyeslocal: ok
[20:49] <Jack_Sparrow> eyeslocal If someone is trying to run a bash script.. no problem.. if you are trying to write or edit one.. there are other channels
[20:50] <definitely> Maybe anyone know a command, when you type in and ip, you get info about that ip and what os he is running
[20:50] <definitely>  ?
[20:51] <the_eraser> anyone know an easy way to remove unused configuration files?

[20:52] <AJC_Z0> (but don't scan hosts you don't own)
[20:52] <user_> sofiankrt: maybe $$ can help you
[20:52] <H__> what program can show 'Kodak Photo CD image' ?
[20:52] <AJC_Z0> H__: xv can. Let me know where you find a package of it
[20:52] <cbones> now i need to install my broadcom firmware
[20:52] <cirkit> the_eraser: open a terminal, change to the directory where your file is located that you want to remove and run the "rm" command, so "rm /path/to/config/file"
[20:53] <H__> (kuickshow and gimp and dolphin and konqueror do not).
[20:53] <user_> poor guy
[20:53] <H__> AJC_Z0 ah, i was looking for xv, was not installed
 Thnx
[20:53] <AJC_Z0> Where in the Gnome config maze do I change the applications opened by media changes (CD, DVD, etc.)?
[20:53] <user_> vtw $$ doesnt mean money, its a placeholder in bash programming, man bash
[20:53] <the_eraser> cirkit: but i dont know which folders belong to uninstalled packages :/
[20:53] <user_> btw $$ doesnt mean money, its a placeholder in bash programming, man bash
[20:54] <the_eraser> the /home quickly get filled with obscure configurations
[20:54] <cirkit> the_eraser: if you uninstall a package, it's own directories and what not are also removed.
[20:55] <annie_g> Anyone know of a good tutorial or resource for using or learning Shell Scripting - Specifically in Ubuntu ? ? ?
[20:55] <Jack_Sparrow> annie_g sudo apt-get install abs-guide
[20:55] <rramalho> hi ppl
[20:55] <ompaul> !cli | annie_g
[20:55] <cbones> cirkit thank i got the b43-fwcutter install
[20:55] <annie_g> Did some google searches but maybe not looking up correctly.
[20:56] <cirkit> cbones: great ;)
[20:56] <ompaul> annie_g, it is a step to know some commands after that you get to doing some regx in bash
[20:56] <cbones> i need to install the broadcom firmware now right
[20:56] <cirkit> yes
[20:56] <cbones> ok can you help me
[20:56] <H__> AJC_Z0 good that i have a freebsd box around then ;-)
[20:57] <stick_> is it possible to setup a dual monitor setup with an integrated card and a pci card?
[20:57] <cirkit> cbones: I don't have the manual / instructions for that broadcom as I don't use one ... there should be a README file when you tar xjvf the .bz2 file I'm sure which should explain how to install the firmware
[20:57] <cbones> ok
[20:58] <stick_> all i need is a yes or no answer if its possible ill find out how myself but if its not i dont wanna waste anymore time on it
[20:58] <user_> annie_g: shell scripting features are not bound to ubuntu. bash f.e. is a fairly stable program and hasn't changed much in the last 15 years. you may pick any reference. i recommend using older ones, cause they tend not being bloated
[20:59] <Ring-0> pozz
[20:59] <annie_g> Jack_Sparrow: I just installed the abs-guide - you suggested - Is this a GUI user guide ? or Tool? Can't seem to locate yet - or something I need to learn or run in Terminal?
[21:00] <Jack_Sparrow> annie_g one sec, they are htm files..
[21:01] <annie_g> user_: So any good tutorial or something on "Bash" would be a good start ?
[21:01] <annie_g> Jack_Sparrow: Ok
[21:01] <WhoaTotalWipeout> annie_g: The Advanced Bash Scripting guide is a good read for learning Bash scripting.
[21:02] <Ring-0> is there any chance soon for S-Video tv-out working out of the box on Ubuntu?
[21:02] <WhoaTotalWipeout> annie_g: But if you're totally new to it than www.linuxsurvival.com is extremely useful.
[21:02] <user_> annie_g: yes, "bash for beginners" or "bash cheat sheet", something along those lines
[21:02] <Ring-0> without messing with xorg.conf
[21:02] <Jack_Sparrow> annie_g /usr/share/doc/abs-guide/html/index
[21:02] <cirkit> annie_g: please take the time to read http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html
[21:02] <annie_g> WhoaTotalWipeout: This script will be ok in general for Ubuntu - ?
[21:03] <annie_g> user_: THanks
[21:03] <Dream> afk, food, report back in 1 hour
[21:03] <benny269> what's the best way to unzip multiple rar files into 1 video file?
[21:03] <annie_g> WhoaTotalWipeout: THanks much....
[21:03] <WhoaTotalWipeout> annie_g: Advanced Bash Scripting guide is only if you really want the full power of bash in your hands - if you want to know the absolute basics, than www.linuxsurvival.com is your best bet
[21:04] <cirkit> benny269: open a terminal and type "unrar e file1.rar"
[21:04] <benny269> cirkit: will that mean the subsequent files will unzip also?
[21:04] <WhoaTotalWipeout> benny269: I'd just open the first archive in the series with file-roller and extract normally.
[21:04] <stick_> so does anybody have a response for me?
[21:04] <cirkit> benny269: yes
[21:04] <annie_g> Kool - you all are here to help - appreciate it much... Like to learn it all.......
[21:05] <WalloO> stick_, yes, it'S possigble using xinerama
[21:05] <stick_> thank you
[21:05] <WhoaTotalWipeout> Can anybody tell me why two updates from security.ubuntu.com regarding openssl aren't downloading?
[21:05] <Ring-0> Whoa - try changing server
[21:05] <WalloO> stick_, setup your two cards. Then add xinerama parameter. You must have both card with the same bitdepth
[21:06] <annie_g> WhoaTotalWipeout: Like you're name - reminds me of old surfing days - smile
[21:06] <the_eraser> cirkit: but it is written: By default, apt will not remove configuration files,
[21:07] <cirkit> the_eraser: right, those are regular text configuration files, not directories.
[21:08] <cirkit> the_eraser: if you don't want the config file either, 'rm' it
[21:08] <the_eraser> well.. ok
[21:08] <WhoaTotalWipeout> annie_g: Heh, thanks. I do this wicked style of saying "whoooaaaaaa - toootaal wiiipeeoooutt" just like some sort of surfer dude : P
[21:08] <WalloO> is lmsensor actually reporting ati (AMD) GPU temperature?
[21:09] <AJC_Z0> annie_g: The shell (and there are several in the two families - Bourne and C) is your primary interface to any unix system. If you like books, O'Reily's "UNIX Power Tools" is an excellent choice for increasing your shell and toolset skills
[21:09] <WhoaTotalWipeout> AJC_Z0: There's also the Korn shell, don't forget that
[21:10] <WhoaTotalWipeout> AJC_Z0: Though security vulnerabilities were detected in the C shell...
[21:10] <AJC_Z0> One thing to bear in mind is that while bash is ubiquitous on Linux systems and common on many other unix platforms, it is not on every system
[21:10] <AJC_Z0> WhoaTotalWipeout: Note that I said "families". Ksh is in the Bourne family
[21:10] <Myrtti> !info abs-guide | annie_g
[21:11] <WhoaTotalWipeout> AJC_Z0: Aye, that's true. But it's the most common shell, seeing as it's highly compatible with the Bourne shell on most proprietary UNIX systems.
[21:11] <WalloO> AJC_Z0, hmmm but not everybody use exotic systems....
[21:11] <WalloO> !ati
[21:12] <AJC_Z0> WhoaTotalWipeout: It is the only standard shell (ksh93, specifically) across unix platforms. POSIX, that is
[21:12] <WhoaTotalWipeout> AJC_Z0: And now you're just being fancy :P
[21:12] <WalloO> anybody has an ati/AMD video card here?<
[21:12] <AJC_Z0> and a very powerful scripting shell it is, too. Not so friendly on the command line, though
[21:13] <WhoaTotalWipeout> Anybody know why two updates from security.ubuntu.com are turning out to be 404?
[21:13] <cirkit> WhoaTotalWipeout: the servers are down
[21:13] <WhoaTotalWipeout> cirkit: No, I just went on security.ubuntu.com and most of the other packages are there.
[21:15] <chowder> i started a thread on the forums and no one has answered. Anyone care to give it a shot? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=841685
[21:16] <unop> chowder, did you bind-mount /dev, /proc and /sys into the chroot ?

[21:19] <AlNahar> HI FRIENDS
[21:19] <AlNahar> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=229559
[21:19] <amenado> annie_g-> thats most likely an html file. so you can put that entire link in a browser preceeded by   file:///
[21:19] <AlNahar> i am confused, how do i use that driver that is mentioned in solution 1?
[21:19] <Jack_Sparrow> annie_g use nautilus or thunar to browse to that folder and double click it
[21:20] <unop> chowder, well, let me ask again, are /proc, /sys and /dev mounted in the chroot -- not having them mounted properly could be the cause for dbus failing to start properly
[21:20] <khajavi> HELP: How can I run Xserver via chroot?
[21:21] <Blaqlight> my java seems to be broken. how might I fix it.
[21:21] <khajavi> Blaqlight: sudo apt-get install -f
[21:21] <theclaw> hi
[21:22] <chowder> unop: I'll check if they're mounted, I could've made a mistake :p
[21:22] <Blaqlight> whats with the -f switch?
[21:22] <unop> khajavi, as you would normally do -- startx  -- but no other x servers should be running
[21:22] <annie_g> Jack_Sparrow: Will need to install Thunar? Not sure how run in Nautilus too....
[21:22] <Jack_Sparrow> annie_g any file manager will work
[21:23] <chowder> unop: it was mounted incorrectly, ty
[21:23] <khajavi> unop: can I run two xserver?
[21:23] <unop> chowder, yw
[21:23] <unop> khajavi, no
[21:23] <annie_g> Jack_Sparrow: Which do you like ? Installing Thunar right now...?
[21:23] <gringo> ehlo@all, this is my first time setting up a mailserver, I've been working on this for several days now and went through several howtos, basically I got everything setup -> postfix combined with dovecot(maildir|ssl/tls) however, now I am stuck on getting sasl setup so I can actually send mails through evolution. I realyl hope someone can help me here, because the users in #ubuntu.de remain clueless or don't want to talk...
[21:23] <chowder> unop: it's working fine now. but once I exit the chroot will /dev /proc and /sys return to normal?
[21:24] <Jack_Sparrow> annie_g I like the lighter feel of thunar but to each their own
[21:24] <crablouse> just installed 8.04 hardy heron. However sound does not work while playing youtube videos. Does anyone know how to correct this?
[21:24] <user_> gringo: you may also ask in #ubuntu-server
[21:24] <hvgotcodes> hey i have noscripts/ firebug in firefox3 and i can't access my email
[21:25] <unop> khajavi, well, you might be able to get the second x server to start on a new display -- but you really shouldnt need to do that, graphical applications in the chroot will be able to use the already running X server as long as you have /proc, /dev and /sys mounted in the chroot
[21:25] <hvgotcodes> i mean my gmail
[21:25] <unop> chowder, those file systems will be mounted so long as you don't unmount them or restart the machine
[21:26] <DRLD> i am trying to install transmission 1.22, but i get this an error. check it out here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23590/
[21:26] <unop> chowder, you might like to add them into /etc/fstab if you want them mounted automatically on boot -- or use a script
[21:26] <beastax> hey, im a noob to ubuntu, just installed today.  when i try to run games in fullscreen, it keeps jumping to windowed and back to fullscreen etfc
[21:26] <annie_g> JackSparrow: Been using nautilus - Sorry I was not following what you meant by " /usr/share/doc/abs-guide/html/index " - I need to browse to this File - Sorry misunderstood - being brain dead here......
[21:27] <beastax> anyone know what i can do to stop this?
[21:27] <unop> DRLD, what is the name of the package you are trying to build there?
[21:27] <hvgotcodes> hey what is the install size difference between ubuntu and kubuntu?
[21:27] <chowder> unop: good thinking
[21:27] <khajavi> unop: well, I bind these filesystem in chroot, that is ok?
[21:27] <DRLD> unop: i downloaded the source code for transmission and i am running ./configure
[21:27] <chowder> kthx, If all goes well I'll write a tutorial and post it on the forums
[21:27] <chowder> ttyl
[21:28] <unop> khajavi, as long as you have done that... you should be able to launch graphical applications from the chroot
[21:28] <annie_g> Jack_Sparrow: Thunar looks nice - willtryt this for awhile - open to anything that gets the job done.
[21:28] <unop> DRLD, this should help you .. run this first and try again.   sudo apt-get build-dep transmission  # it will install all the packages/libraries needed for the transmission build process
[21:29] <khajavi> unop: is it ok to run mount /proc /media/chroot/proc --bind and so on?
[21:29] <DRLD> k i'll try it. but won't that install transmission 1.06?
[21:29] <webcamwonder> Ok... why is Pulse so unstable?
[21:29] <unop> khajavi, yes
[21:30] <blumm> why thunar?
[21:30] <unop> DRLD, that doesn't install transmission rather it installs the libraries that are needed to build transmission
[21:30] <DRLD> ah i c
[21:30] <khajavi> unop: :-*
[21:30] <DRLD> thanks unop
[21:30] <blumm> i mean, is there anything that nautilus wouldnt do?

[21:31] <hypn0> blumm: not everyone uses gnome
[21:32] <unop> orbisvicis, very strange .. have you tried logging out and logging back in, does that help?
[21:32] <orbisvicis> unop, reboot, nothing changed
[21:32] <webcamwonder> Does anyone know howto configure sound in Hardy that prevents from crashing it every 2 minutes into any audio?
[21:32] <orbisvicis> unop, i filed a bug report @ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vnc4/+bug/243811
[21:32] <blumm> hypn0: but kde has a filebrowser too, i guess?
[21:32] <ph8> hi all; ever since i installed hardy i have no titlebar on my thunderbird window, and only my thunderbird window - i also can't move it and it appears to be permanently on top - has anyone got any ideas about why this is? A right click on it in the taskbar doesn't show it as on top
[21:33] <ph8> the main problem is not being able to move it because of no titlebar
[21:33] <DRLD> unop: now i get this message - http://paste.ubuntu.com/23592/
[21:33] <hypn0> blumm: konqueror I think
[21:33] <friedtofu> hm. when i log into ubuntu i get no icons - i have to use killall nautilus to refresh it - anyone have a fix?
[21:33] <ph8> it executes with `thunderbird %u` which looks fine
[21:33] <blumm> hypn0: yep
[21:34] <unop> DRLD, try this.   sudo aptitude install libcurl
[21:34] <webcamwonder> Does anyone know howto configure sound in Hardy that prevents from crashing it every 2 minutes into any audio?
[21:34] <craigbass1976> So, I'm sitting at Hardy for the first time, and my home dir looks A LOT like windows....
[21:34] <blumm> is there any way to have white bg in nautilus when using list instead of symbols?
[21:35] <DRLD> unop: says that no packages were installed
[21:35] <ph8> craigbass1976: You mean windows looks like hardy? :p
[21:35] <unop> orbisvicis, hmm .. you could try reinstalling all the gnome packages using something like this.  sudo aptitude reinstall $(dpkg -l | grep -i gnome | cut -d " " -f 3) # it might take a while tho
[21:35] <ph8> in the whole 'home dir' concept anyway
[21:35] <cirkit> DRLD: apt-get install curl
[21:35] <craigbass1976> Are there defaults that dump stuff in the pictures, documents, and music folders, or can I remove them with no trouble later?
[21:35] <DRLD> okay
[21:36] <craigbass1976> ph8, I mean the file tree
[21:36] <unop> DRLD,   sudo aptitude install libcurl3
[21:36] <orbisvicis> unop, lol ...
[21:36] <blumm> craigbass1976: i removed them
[21:36] <craigbass1976> blumm, ok.  Then so shall I go...
[21:36] <ph8> ah
[21:36] <unop> DRLD,  perhaps this tho.   sudo aptitude install libcurl libcurl3-dev
[21:36] <DRLD> i'll try that too unop. thnx for your patience
[21:36] <blumm> craigbass1976: you can still do a backup if youre unsure
[21:37] <TwT> hi, can anybody help me?
[21:37] <blumm> TwT: just ask :)
[21:37] <unop> orbisvicis, what's funny?
[21:37] <TwT> I need to tranlate a audio..
[21:37] <craigbass1976> blumm, there's nothing there yet.  I just wondered

[21:38] <blumm> craigbass1976: be careful with files that start with a "." though
[21:38] <orbisvicis> unop, b/c thats the shotgun approach and that is a to..n of work and might not work
[21:38] <DRLD> unop thanks. configure worked this time. cirkit i also installed curl, what is this?
[21:39] <craigbass1976> blumm, no worries there. It was just shocking to see all those folders set up on a new install.  I'm used to nothing but the . (.bash...  etc) files
[21:39]  * orbisvicis thinks he would laugh like that if someone told him to climb mount Everest
[21:39] <cirkit> curl  is  a tool to transfer data from or to a server, using one of the supported protocols (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS,  SCP,  SFTP,  TFTP,  DICT, TELNET,  LDAP  or  FILE).  The command is designed to work without user interaction.
[21:39] <blumm> craigbass1976: ok
[21:39] <orbisvicis> .. for a cookie
[21:40] <newToLinux> Hi all, after the updates for ubuntu, the ltsp client can´t play sound anymore from website
[21:40] <newToLinux> anybody knows how to solve this?
[21:40] <unop> orbisvicis, well, true, but i'd say it has a higher chance of fixing the issue and probably not as time consuming as hunting down the bug through some profiling tool -- your choice
[21:40] <newToLinux> i´ve tried to install the gstreamer ugly plugins
[21:40] <newToLinux> and the gstreamer ffmpeg plugins
[21:40] <orbisvicis> unop, profiling tool ?
[21:40] <newToLinux> but still can´t play sound
[21:40] <annie_g> Jack_Sparrow: Wanted to say thanks for your help. Here is link I found for a 773 page PDF of the the ABS-Guide - http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/abs-guide.pdf - Thx again.
[21:40] <lufis> Is it possible to install windows after the fact without grub getting blown to smithereens?
[21:40] <Gnea> unop: y'know, i've seen people strike down solutions left and right due to some unknown fear... unnerving.
[21:41] <unop> orbisvicis, yea, something like strace or valgrind
[21:41] <botero> salve

[21:42] <hvgotcodes> anyone here having trouble getting to gmail? won't load for me...
[21:42] <blumm> hvgotcodes: working here..
[21:43] <unop> khajavi, and you are sure your existing X server (outside the chroot) is running?
[21:43] <cbones> Note that you must adjust the FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR path to your distribution. The standard place where firmware is installed to is /lib/firmware. However some distributions put firmware in a different place.
[21:43] <lufis> I've got ubuntu on 3 partitions, and would like a tiny windows partition to experiment... is it possible to install it without grub getting murdered in cold blood? I.e., could i install windows, then reinstall grub from a livecd?
[21:43] <cbones> what path do i need to use
[21:43] <Egyn> Hi, does anyone know in what way it is possible for me as an individual to go on a campaign with a mission of helping people in poverty and despair with the philosophy of ubuntu in mind? to educate people and use  IT as a tool of moving away from poverty?
[21:43] <Gnea> lufis: why not install it in a virtual machine, such as vmware?
[21:43] <orbisvicis> hvgotcodes, strangely enough ive seen that myself, and my friends (on windows) randomly (rarely) happen, did you reboot?
[21:44] <unop> cbones, it really depends on the module -- most times the path is hard-coded into the module -- doesn't the documentation for whatever you are installing say anything about the firmware path?
[21:44] <lufis> Gnea: i'm not sure that would work under the circumstances
[21:44] <Gnea> lufis: what circumstances?
[21:44] <hvgotcodes> orbisvicis: been like this for a few days
[21:44] <hvgotcodes> might have to do with firebug
[21:44] <lufis> Gnea: I have a windows install cd provided by dell... would vmware run the installation?
[21:44] <hvgotcodes> no i disabled it
[21:45] <orbisvicis> hvgotcodes, got firebug and gmail works
[21:45] <Gnea> lufis: try it and find out. :) what's the worst that's gonna happen? a bsod? all your data will remain intact.
[21:45] <orbisvicis> hvgotcodes, opera ?
[21:45] <lufis> Gnea: ;) well, i've never used vmware or anything like it before
[21:46] <hvgotcodes> no firefox
[21:46] <hvgotcodes> wierd
[21:46] <hvgotcodes> ive tried clearing cache and disabling firebug globablly
[21:46] <Gnea> lufis: well you can use it for 30 days free (the workstation version) or use vmware server (which will run a desktop OS without any problems) for free
[21:46] <TwT> is there any chinese here?
[21:46] <unop> cbones, i would say, use /lib/firmware
[21:46] <orbisvicis> hvgotcodes, try opera .. ?
[21:46] <lufis> Gnea: are there any FOSS alternatives?
[21:47] <cbones>  unop:  please look here   http://dpaste.com/59694/

[21:50] <unop> khajav2, hmm, not sure .. maybe you could try this command.    DISPLAY=:0.0 dolphin  # see if it helps
[21:50] <cbones> i've already installed the b43-fwcutter
[21:51] <rainwalker> Egyn: Netgear WG511T works flawlessly
[21:51] <Egyn> rainwalker: it is such a  hassle of getting it to work
[21:51] <un2him> i cannot get suspend to work with nvidia driver.  when i disable the nvidia driver, suspend works.  Suggestions?
[21:51] <orbisvicis> unop, do you use xvnc ... ?
[21:51] <unop> cbones, after you install the firmware and reload bcm43xx module -- does your wireless interface come up?
[21:52] <Egyn> rainwalker: well i'll just let the notebook become a server in the future running unix/linux and never care about wireless on it again
[21:52] <orbisvicis> unop, if so could i compare your strace to mine
[21:52] <Egyn> rainwalker: cannot be bothered to switch atm
[21:52] <cbones> no
[21:53] <unop> orbisvicis, i don't use xvnc no -- is this happening through a vnc session?
[21:53] <seki1> anyone got novell evolution segfaulting on herron?
[21:53] <unop> cbones, have you verified using ifconfig and iwconfig?
[21:53] <orbisvicis> unop, yes
[21:53] <cbones> no
[21:54] <orbisvicis> !pastebin
[21:54] <unop> cbones, ok, well, do verify
[21:54] <cbones> how do i do that
[21:54] <unop> orbisvicis, hmm, have you tried changing the display depth ? it might be too low at the moment
[21:54] <khajav2> unop: could you give me some key word to search via web?
[21:55] <orbisvicis> unop, depth is 32
[21:55] <orbisvicis> also, http://paste.ubuntu.com/23593/
[21:55] <orbisvicis> strace
[21:55] <unop> cbones, just type  iwconfig  # you should see information about your wireless card if the module and firmware were loaded properly
[21:56] <ubtest> omfg can they make linux any more complicated??
[21:56] <rainwalker> ubtest: as a matter of fact, yes. what's your problem?
[21:57] <wols> linux is not complicated. it's sane and structured
[21:57] <ubtest> all i want to do is enable desktop effects and i have to learn a programing language
[21:57] <AxeZ> ubtest, linux is very userfriendly
[21:57] <khajav2> any one know how to run graphical programs via chroot?
[21:57] <wols> ubtest: no you don't. what videocard?
[21:57] <ubtest> brand new laptop.. nvidia
[21:57] <rainwalker> ubtest: no, you don't. In a terminal, try "SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz" without the quotes
[21:57] <wols> AxeZ: xauth howto. google it
[21:58] <wols> ubtest: glxinfo |grep direct
[21:58] <AxeZ> wols, what?
[21:58] <wols> rainwalker: how do you know he has 3D enabled
[21:58] <cbones> unop:  heres what it says  http://dpaste.com/59696/
[21:58] <rainwalker> wols: well if that works then we'll know ;P
[21:58] <wols> AxeZ: sorry misread. is for khajav2
[21:58] <lwizardl> Hi
[21:58] <wols> khajav2: xauth howto. google it
[21:58] <lwizardl> can someone tell me how I can add my Tor to apt
[21:58] <unop> orbisvicis, look towards the end of the strace around line # 700 -- it's complaining about not being able to find the relevant theme files - sounds like the cause of your problems
[21:59] <ubtest> said no whitelist driver found
[21:59] <wols> lwizardl: you can't add it to ubuntu repos. you can make your own repo and add it to your own sources.list
[21:59] <wols> ubtest: what does the command say I gave you?
[21:59] <unop> cbones, and you only have one wireless card plugged in at the moment?
[21:59] <orbisvicis> unop, i was looking at that .. but it doesnt look that serious, and i dont have anything to compare it to
[22:00] <lwizardl> vols: sorry thats not what i'm looking to do. I need to add support for Tor connections to my apt-get so I can get updates, etc
[22:00] <cbones> yes
[22:00] <ubtest> direct rendering = no
[22:00] <cbones> its the card that came in the laptop
[22:01] <khajav2> wols: thanks
[22:01] <wols> lwizardl: privoxy. google a howto http://www.google.de/search?q=apt-get+over+socks+proxy&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
[22:01] <wols> cbones: pastebin your syslog
[22:01] <wols> !nvidia | ubtest
[22:01] <Ketara> m
[22:01] <oren> how do i get japanese font for open office? (i can type japanese in gedit)
[22:01] <unop> orbisvicis, well, the way i am looking at this is, if the relevant theme's icons and cursors are not found -- the vncviewer is going to have to make do - and that's not good enough in your case as all you get is the empty place holders
[22:01] <ubtest> when i try to enable desktop effects in hardy heron it says can not enable...
[22:02] <wols> ubtest: you need those drivers and direct rendering must be yes. then compiz will work
[22:02] <Pruebaaaaaaaa> I-m actually having a problem, before installing a SLAX version I ran Ubuntu and Windows with grub but after the install (I set up properly) I can just load SLAX with lilo.. That/s lilo http://pastebin.com/m413b2351 and grub http://pastebin.com/m2ec32279. Thanks
[22:02] <orbisvicis> unop, no its not just icons, its every image possible is black
[22:02] <hoptobecubic> alright, i'm having seriously intense trouble editing a video file. All i'm trying to do is have the video start at 8:20 and finish at 11:08. the rest i want cut. If anyone feels very kind , i'll post it on my ftp. or if you know of a more appropriate room please tell me
[22:02] <wols> Pruebaaaaaaaa: is ubuntu still intalled? is the ubuntu bootloader still coming up on boot?
[22:02] <Jimfox> hello!
[22:03] <Pruebaaaaaaaa> wols I have seen GRUB on /boot/ already
[22:03] <unop> cbones, well, it appears to me that your wireless interface is up -- doesn't it show up in the network manager / applet ?
[22:03] <cbones> wols: what is the command to do that
[22:03] <Erick> how do i go up one level in Terminal?
[22:03] <wols> Pruebaaaaaaaa: I did not ask that. answer the questions I did ask
[22:03] <oberoc> Erick: cd ..
[22:03] <Pruebaaaaaaaa> How can I check that wols_
[22:04] <Erick> thanks oberoc
[22:04] <wols> Pruebaaaaaaaa: you should know if your ubuntu is still installed. and you see if the ubuntu kernels show up in your boot menu
[22:05] <unop> orbisvicis, well, either way, it's not good -- also what seems to be out of place is all these "resource unavailable" messages -- but i don't know enough about debugging with strace to know the significance of them
[22:05] <Jimfox> uhm i have a question hopefully someone can answer, i want to run second life since they have a linux version, it should be as easy as running .secondlife, but nothing at all happens, not even an error message, i was wondering what i can do to make it work
[22:05] <orbisvicis> yeah, even in google images nothing is displayed
[22:05] <Pruebaaaaaaaa> wols I just can load SLAX (LILO)... UBuntu and windows were in grub
[22:05] <cbones> unop: where is the net work manager at
[22:05] <oberoc> Has anybody backported ff3 to 7.10?
[22:05] <wols> Pruebaaaaaaaa: then you don't have a ubuntu problem but a slax problem. you are off topic
[22:05] <wols> goodbye
[22:05] <ubtest> sigh i dont have the restricted device manager
[22:05] <Pruebaaaaaaaa> cya
[22:05] <ubtest> ?
[22:06] <orbisvicis> unop, neither do i ; \ Thanks though, ill keep looking
[22:06] <oren> Jimfox: r u running SL from the command line?
[22:06] <unop> cbones, it's in the notification area / system tray -- the little icon with two-computers connected together
[22:06] <cbones> no
[22:06] <Jimfox> i go where the files are and double click the one that i have to, and the prompt window comes up, i click run bot nothing happens
[22:07] <unop> orbisvicis, it can't hurt to try the aptitude command i gave you earlier - it might work and fix the issue - just as long as you cross your fingers :)
[22:07] <hoptobecubic> no one wants to help me out for a minute:-/ i just need a video file to be clipped and after three hours i haven't managed to do it myself
[22:07] <onisciente> I dont know what happened, my firefox cant load the web videos, but the java is enable and was working since I installed everything. Any ideia?
[22:07] <oberoc> hoptobecubic: What are you using?
[22:07] <wols> onisciente: java doesn't do web videos
[22:07] <onisciente> wols: so, what could be?
[22:07] <DeadKennedy2880> wols - how do you do it without pulling out your hair?
[22:08] <wols> onisciente: typically they use flash
[22:08] <unop> onisciente, videos seldom have anything to do with java and vice-versa
[22:08] <onisciente> unop: ok, thanks. So what can i do?
[22:08] <wols> DeadKennedy2880: every once in a while I go postal and kill all workers in a local post office. great stress reliever
[22:08] <unop> onisciente, well, what kind of videos are they? do you know?
[22:08] <DeadKennedy2880> hehe
[22:08] <onisciente> unop: youtube
[22:09] <DeadKennedy2880> note to self - stay clear of USPS
[22:09] <unop> onisciente, that's flash -- make sure flash is loaded into firefox -- navigate to about:plugins and have a look there
[22:09] <onisciente> unop: all videos are blocked
[22:09] <Overand> I don't want to start a flame war or any sort of thing like that, but I'm building an ubuntu-server box, and I'm looking into buying 4 750G-1TB drives, and I'm not sure what brand to go for.
[22:09] <onisciente> unop: let me see
[22:09] <hoptobecubic> oberoc: i've tried everything in synaptic that said anything abuot video editing. avidemux, openmovieeditor, piviti or whatever it was called. i'm currently in vista (dual boot) and movie maker won't open without crashing... which is why i jumped to ubuntu in the first place
[22:10] <Jimfox> anyone can help me in how to run second life? it doesnt run at all, there is not even error messages
[22:10] <onisciente> unop: shckwave flash 9.0 is there
[22:10] <unop> Overand, polls happen in #ubuntu-offtopic .. and your question should really be asked in #hardware -- but i'd say seagate
[22:10] <oberoc> hoptobecubic: hang on, let me check
[22:11] <plouffe> Does anyone use solfege? I installed it, but it crashes every time I try to start it from the menu. I had the same problem with istanbul.
[22:11] <Overand> yes - I was mostly looking for a direction to look
[22:11] <Overand> thanks, unop
[22:11] <ubtest> i have a brand new laptop with an nvidia card, and running ubuntu on virtualbox... is there an easy way to just install the right drivers and get desktop effects to work?
[22:11] <cbones> unop:  your talking about up top ion the right side
[22:11] <unop> onisciente, does the flash applet load when you navigate here - http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/
[22:12] <Jimfox> ...am i in the right place solve my problem i wonder?
[22:12] <onisciente> unop: ok, i'll do it
[22:12] <plouffe> in fact I have the problem with a lot of sound/video programs
[22:12] <oberoc> hoptobecubic: are you running regular ubuntu or media ubuntu?
[22:12] <Overand> ubtest: I don't think virtualbox supports 3d acceleration
[22:12] <unop> cbones, right, yes -- sorry, i don't use gnome and when i do, i usually put the notification area down on the right hand side .. but yea, top right, little icon resembling a network of two computers -- double click on it, etc
[22:12] <DeadKennedy2880> ubtest - good question, ive never been able to get virtualbox working right
[22:12] <Shoplifter> I was watching the the Diablo3 game play and it seems the system goes to almost 100% cpu..
[22:12] <ubtest> hrmm what about vmware?
[22:13] <Overand> ubtest: probably the same.
[22:13] <onisciente> unop: No missing plugins were found, but i cannot se the animation!!
[22:13] <Overand> If you want to try out efects, and get good performance, you
[22:13] <Overand> ll need to be running ubuntu 'actually on the hardware'
[22:13] <zelrikriando> how to see animated gifs?
[22:13] <Overand> ubtest: consider trying out the LieCD
[22:13] <DeadKennedy2880> ubtest - didnt bother to try after i dual-booted
[22:13] <unop> onisciente, you might like to try reinstall flash then -- once done, log out and log back in.   sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-nonfree
[22:13] <Overand> ubtest: the current ubuntu versions  are pretty good at living alongside windows, if you're not ready to toast windos
[22:14] <cbones>  unop:  it shows that i'm wired right now
[22:14] <Overand> ubtest: you can even install it from inside windows using 'wubi'
[22:14] <onisciente> unop: thank you.
[22:14] <DeadKennedy2880> overand's right on this one
[22:14] <unop> cbones, ok, well, does your wireless card show up there tho? that's what i want to know
[22:14] <DeadKennedy2880> *but consider toasting windows
[22:14] <mcphail> hoptobecubic: you should be able to use mplayer for that
[22:15] <cbones> unop :  no
[22:15] <hoptobecubic> oberoc: regular ubuntu
[22:15] <Jimfox> well ill ask again, anyone knows why when i try to run second life nothing happens?
[22:15] <hoptobecubic> mcphail: mplayer crops?
[22:16] <unop> cbones, ahh, not sure how i can help you more, i don't use gnome, so i wouldnt know what to do -- maybe you should ask someone who uses gnome
[22:16] <mcphail> hoptobecubic: never tries it myself, but you can create "edl" files
[22:16] <zelrikriando> how to look at animated gifs?
[22:16] <oberoc> hoptobecubic: do you have mplayer loaded?
[22:16] <Overand> Jimfox: do you hae proper 3d drivers installed, and do you meet the minimum requirements?
[22:16] <mcphail> hoptobecubic: they contain cropping info
[22:16] <hoptobecubic> oberoc: i'm not in ubuntu right now, let me reboot and i'll try it
[22:16] <unop> zelrikriando, use a picture viewer :)
[22:16] <hoptobecubic> back in a jiff
[22:16] <zelrikriando> unop, doesnt work
[22:17] <unop> zelrikriando, which picture viewer have you tried?
[22:17] <zelrikriando> unop, I thought the default one worked...but seems like...no
[22:17] <Jimfox> overand: yes i have the nvidia drivers installed, and i have a computer i build myself, dating arround 2006, duo core etc etc, the thing is, noooothing happens, absolutely nothing, when i hit run, thats it
[22:18] <zelrikriando> unop, just tell me about one that works :)
[22:18] <onisciente> unop: it worked!! thank you again! =)
[22:18] <unop> zelrikriando, well, i would try these in order  gthumb, gqview, eog
[22:18] <unop> onisciente, yw
[22:18] <unop> !donate
[22:19] <neurobuntu> is it possible to run KDE applications in gnome?
[22:19] <neurobuntu> without installing kde-desktop
[22:19] <unop> neurobuntu, sure
[22:19] <oren> Jimfox: r u ok?
[22:19] <Jack_Sparrow> neurobuntu yes.. they add a few libs but not all of kubuntu
[22:20] <Jimfox> oren: a bit frustrated, i read the instructions and it should just work, but it doesnt
[22:20] <Overand> Jimfox: try running it from the command prompt and see if it dumps an error message
[22:20] <unop> neurobuntu, just install the kde application, that should pull in just that package and its supporting libraries - not all of kde
[22:20] <neurobuntu> So I'm trying to install some software that I have to compile from source... (I wish there were a deb) how can I figure out what kde libs are needed
[22:21] <unop> neurobuntu, apt-get build-dep packagename # installs the libraries needed to build that particular package
[22:21] <aguitel> how speed up startup in ubuntu process ?
[22:21] <neurobuntu> unop: doesn't that only work on precompiled debs?
[22:21] <Steven1> !grub
[22:21] <oren> Jimfox: listen to Overland
[22:21] <oren> Jimfox: and tell us the error
[22:22] <unop> neurobuntu, no, it is actually intended if you want to actually compile something
[22:22] <cbones> unop:  what should I do
[22:22] <Jimfox> oren: er...where is the command prompt again? ahah...used puppylinux before but in ubuntu is ina  different place
[22:22] <hiptobecubic> ok i'm back. i'm installing mplayer now...
[22:23] <neurobuntu> unop: so does apt-get build-dep package name read the config file?
[22:23] <unop> cbones, i'm not really sure - like i said, i don't use gnome, so i can't really help much
[22:23] <DeadKennedy2880> unop - do you have to navigate to the package folder to use apt-get?
[22:23] <neurobuntu> unop: do I run that instead of make or make install?
[22:23] <oberoc> hiptobecubic: mplayer -ss 8:03 -endpos 2:57
[22:23] <zelrikriando> unop, gthumb fixed it
[22:23] <unop> neurobuntu, no, all it does is install the libraries that are needed to build your source package -- you have to run ./configure, make, etc afterwards
[22:23] <oberoc> hiptobecubic: mplayer -ss 8:03 -endpos 2:57 nameOfYourFile
[22:23] <SrgSantos54> hello to all
[22:24] <SrgSantos54> i have a problem with my external Hard drive
[22:24] <neurobuntu> unop: so then how does apt-get build-dep know what the package dependencies are?
[22:24] <SrgSantos54> it say that it couldn't be mount
[22:24] <SrgSantos54> what can i do
[22:24] <hiptobecubic> oberoc, thanks i'll try
[22:24] <unop> DeadKennedy2880, no, apt-get works anywhere -- except a few options, but mostly it works anywhere
[22:24] <oberoc> hiptobecubic: man mplayer
[22:24] <DeadKennedy2880> inop - kk
[22:24] <caroline> hi
[22:24] <DeadKennedy2880> *unop - kk
