[14:01] <a1len> jim_p: Can't... Oh, I thought you meant did I get it from a rar.. lol
[14:01] <jrib> elad`: man man.  It will explain that man pages are broken up into sections.  2 is system calls.  -a just goes through all the man pages that man finds about time
[14:01] <Jack_Sparrow> lasivian Look here at my notes for a sec..  http://paste.ubuntu.com/82463/
[14:01] <a1len> jim_p: But I have a small MDS too, so I wonder if that polls from the big 3G i00 file to make the iso
[14:01] <elad`> Why didn't -a work, then?
[14:01] <a1len> I'll read...
[14:01] <jrib> elad`: -a does work, it cycles through all of the time man pages.  You asked "how to search"
[14:02] <Jack_Sparrow> lasivian Paste your backup command for me when you get a chance

[14:06] <jim_p> noobuntu93, remove network manager and install wicd. (classic advice from me)
[14:06] <dmx> the prob is, i cannot not realy connect to wireless networks
[14:06] <jim_p> Pnux, ok then, do as i said

[14:10] <Pnux> gedit, firefox, gnubik
[14:10] <jim_p> Pnux, what is the name of the package you searched for removal?
[14:10] <Pnux> i tried with libcupsys2
[14:11] <jim_p> Pnux, try another package name
[14:11] <jim_p> Pnux, i would go with cups-common
[14:12] <Pnux> jim_p, scary.. a few packages and ubuntu-desktop
[14:12]  * lasivian needs to find a simple full-drive incremental backup solution
[14:12] <jim_p> Pnux, ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. it can be safely removed
[14:12] <Pnux> oh
[14:13] <Pnux> jim_p, do i have to re instal it after removing?
[14:13] <jim_p> Pnux, no. meta package = a package-shortcut of more packages
[14:13] <dmx> omg?
[14:13] <jim_p> dmx, ???
[14:13] <dmx> There is no wicd for kubuntu ? :S
[14:14] <dmx> a cannot se it..

[14:14] <amanap_> hi.... if i have the path of some directory in ubuntu, and i want to find out the name of all its children, which libreries or system calls i should use....
[14:14] <jim_p> dmx, apps are desktop enviroment irrelevant. you can have kde apps in gnome and gnome apps in kde and so on
[14:15] <jim_p> dmx, if you really hate gnome apps, i can find you a kde one!
[14:15] <jim_p> dmx, the repo for wicd is the same
[14:15] <dmx> but im really n00b to linux, sorry...

[14:17] <ackbahr> So long folks!
[14:17] <dmx> cooper; try again:P haha
[14:17] <Pnux> jaufi, if you like tunning your client with user made commands and stuff like that, use kvirc
[14:17] <Dabbu> ekiga and vlc detect my laptop webcam but not by other sofwares like cheese any help ?
[14:17] <Crooper> irssi is good too especially for minimal installs
[14:17] <jaufi> ah okay, what about BitchX?
[14:17] <Crooper> i like xchat better
[14:18] <jim_p> guys... do you have wlassistant in your available packages?

[14:18] <Pnux> jim_p yea i do
[14:18] <jaufi> maybe i should stick with xchat then :)
[14:18] <ari_stress> hi hi
[14:19] <jim_p> Pnux, i cant find it in mine!
[14:19] <Pnux> jaufi, you can also use pidgin, thats what im using

[14:21] <Paolo> hi
[14:21] <LjL> i'm looking for a "translator's" text editor, i.e. one that lets me have a split view of two documents and keep them in sync (scoll together and easily keep a line-to-line correspondence). preferably for KDE 3, but GTK will do.
[14:21] <Pnux> jim_p i use pdgin coz its not bothering me with people getting online, and with one client i have all the IM i use
[14:21] <Paolo> someone know if the geforce 9500gt is compatible with ubuntu 8.04 e 8.10 (32 and 64 bit)?
[14:21] <Crooper> pidgin is a handy tool
[14:21] <Pnux> indeed Crooper
[14:22] <jim_p> Pnux, the only think i cant get used to is pidgin for irc! i close the tab and i leave the channel without wanting to
[14:22] <jim_p> *thing
[14:22] <Pnux> how do you close the tab by mistake jim_p?
[14:22]  * jrib refrains from suggesting vim to LjL
[14:22] <LjL> jrib: thank you
[14:22] <Crooper> you should just type '/away' jim_p
[14:23] <LjL> jrib: but no seriously if vim can do that, i might give it a try, though not if i have to work two hours to just understand how to make it do it...
[14:23] <Pnux> what would come handy in pidgin for irc, i clicking on a name on the list of people in a channel, and automatically fill '<that person's name>: '

[14:25] <|GaiJin|> though i cant fing it in respitory
[14:25] <slestak> i have uninstalled trackerd with synaptic, but apt wants to reinstall it.  how can i tell apt that it is not to be reinstalled?

[14:27] <jrib> LjL: :he :vsplit  and  :he 'scrollbind
[14:27] <phazzer> anyone got ubuntu on their N770?
[14:27] <LjL> jrib: ugh, vsplit gives me E319: Sorry, the command is not available in this version
[14:28] <jrib> LjL: install vim-gnome, only vim-tiny is installed by default

[14:29] <igors> hi all..how can i see the boot messages during boot? not only the loading bar and ubuntu logo?
[14:29] <LjL> jrib: will vim or vim-nox do? (what's the difference, even?)
[14:30] <mohbana> why are there so versions of GCC on the rpeo
[14:30] <Crooper> igors i just hit the 'Esc' key during bootup and it works for me
[14:30] <mohbana> repo?
[14:30] <recon69> why would i get "sudo: unable to resolve host mec-desktop" message when i use sudo?
[14:30] <Jack_Sparrow> igors remove quiet and splash from the boot line
[14:30] <jrib> LjL: Those will do.  I don't know the difference between vim and vim-gtk for example, but vim-nox won't give you any gui
[14:31] <elvan121> hello
[14:31] <igors> thanks
[14:31] <jrib> LjL: oh, 'vim' has no gui either.  weird
[14:31] <LjL> jrib: yeah indeed
[14:31] <elvan121> hello
[14:32] <LjL> jrib: also, installing vim or vim-nox results in the exact same disk usage, even weirder
[14:32] <Jack_Sparrow> elvan121 Hello..  Please fel free to ask your ubuntu support question
[14:32] <elmnas> can someone help me does someone a  program like vlc which can use subtitles ?
[14:32] <elvan121> if so
[14:32] <elvan121> so
[14:32] <LjL> elmnas, VLC *can* use subtitles
[14:32] <elvan121> if i have a dell latitude d630
[14:32] <elmnas> I use it
[14:33] <elmnas> but its not in sync
[14:33] <elmnas> ..
[14:33] <elvan121> and i'm unable to activate the cube
[14:33] <ardchoille> jrib: I was going to remove vim-tiny and replace it with vim-gnome but removal wants to remove ubuntu-minimal also. Is that safe?
[14:33] <LjL> elmnas: not in sync?
[14:33] <elvan121> what i have to do???
[14:33] <tarelerulz> I have 500 gb hard drive and I 10 gb for system files and the rest I am trying to make a home partition.   I  pushed the extened  cover the space up to 300gb .   How would I make home in the extened take up the unallocated space now in the extended ?
[14:33] <Jack_Sparrow> elvan121 Do you get any effects?>
[14:33] <elmnas> the subtitle doesnt match the movie in same tempo
[14:33] <Crooper> xine uses subtitles
[14:33] <LjL> ardchoille: not when upgrading, and i think i'd call that a bug
[14:33] <igors> Jack_Sparrow, i remember in older versions of ubuntu i could see the splash (ubuntu logo and loadin bar) and the messages below..is it possible?
[14:33] <elmnas> ok
[14:33] <elvan121> yep
[14:33] <elvan121> i've also tried the compiz effect manager
[14:33] <ardchoille> LjL: so ubuntu-minimal needs to be installed if I decide to upgrade later?
[14:34] <elvan121> if  i'll tick the cube
[14:34] <Jack_Sparrow> elvan121 Install ccsm  sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager Next go to system...pref..advanced desktop effects....  On the first page  put check next to rotate cube and desktop cube.. dbl click general options... up closer to the top...  click on desktop size  and set them to 4, 1 and 1  top to bottom... ctrl+alt+(Left Mouse Button) then move mouse
[14:34] <LjL> elmnas: that might be the subtitles file's fault, anyway there should be adjustment sliders to fix that
[14:34] <elmnas> no it works in windows xp
[14:34] <elmnas> but not in ubuntu..
[14:34] <LjL> ardchoille: well, the automatic updater should, i think, re-install it for you, but yes i would reinstall it personally
[14:34] <elmnas> umm
[14:34] <ardchoille> LjL: ah, thanks
[14:34] <Jack_Sparrow> !enter > elmnas
[14:35] <jrib> ardchoille: you can leave both, just use update-alternatives
[14:35] <jrib> vim-tiny is, well tiny, anyway
[14:36] <elmnas> LjL hmm why isnt it in sync?
[14:37] <LjL> elmnas: i don't know, but i know how to fix it - http://www.fr.videolan.org/doc/play-howto/en/ch03.html#id306989
[14:38] <elmnas> ok

[14:40] <snek> AndyB: are you using EXT3 as filesystem?
[14:40] <AndyB> snek, yes it says that before the above error, filesystem: ext3
[14:41] <snek> AndyB: ok, then I am not sure what the problem could be, maybe someone else can help you

[14:42] <AndyB> brb have an idea
[14:42] <jim_p> snek, you will need a distro for PPC cpu architecture then
[14:43] <Slart> recon69: check the file /etc/hostname .. see if there are any domain stuff there
[14:43] <mthe> at 1 tr old snek r u sure its pcc?

[14:56] <lsbulab>  I just installed ubuntu, how can i change the screen resolution??
[14:56] <toehio> hello
[14:56] <Toznoshio> LjL, I'm curious, what have you done to the original package to backport it?
[14:56] <toehio> using CLI, how do I see how much space is left in my filesystem?
[14:56] <Slart> toehio: df -h
[14:57] <darkvertex> toehio: df -a -n
[14:57] <muxx> lsbulab, select from the menu: System->Preferences->Screen Resolution
[14:57] <LjL> Toznoshio: 1) added the Intrepid source (mind, *source*!) repository to /etc/apt/sources.list 2) sudo apt-get update 3) sudo apt-get build-dep iotop 4) apt-get --build source iotop
[14:57] <lsbulab> muxx: thanks :)
[14:57] <toehio> thank you
[14:57] <LjL> Toznoshio: doesn't always work without issue, but in this case both the build depends and the runtime depends were all satisfied by Hardy packages, so it went smoothly
[14:58] <Toznoshio> LjL, ok, thanks
[14:58] <ministry> does anyone know a one-page tutorial which explains what needs to be done in order to enable Japanese on your system (from the console)
[14:59] <radical> Hello, is it possible in ubuntu delete the pop-up description utility that run when i move the mouse upon a button????
[14:59] <LjL> ministry: what do you mean "enable japanese"? japanese *input*?
[14:59] <toehio> Why doesn't ubuntu work with my GeForce 9600GT? It hangs on starting HALD.
[15:00] <radical> mhhh???ù
[15:01] <ministry> I want everything on my system (that has japanese support, like say, midnight commander) to be in japanese
[15:01] <radical> is it possible in ubuntu delete the pop-up description utility that run when i move the mouse upon a button????
[15:02] <Setebos> I had a home partition already created when I installed ubuntu with my user on it. When I installed I could still access everything like I should but the user doesn't appear under "users settings" How do I make it show up?
[15:04] <mphill> radical: no, you might be able to turn some off with gconf-editor
[15:05] <radical> thonkyou mphill
[15:05] <Toznoshio> radical, tooltips are enabled globally by the gtk-enable-tooltips setting
[15:05] <mphill> Toznoshio: there maybe be QT, motif or other technologies with tool tips
[15:07] <kdogg> hello i keep getting a "The composite extension is not available" error when i try to add desktop effects
[15:07] <ardchoille> what is the name of the app used to test a .deb for errors?
[15:07] <LjL> ministry, that's only possible for packages that *come* with a japanese translation, and for packages from Universe like "mc" that's likely not the case. but still, the relevant document on how to do that from the console ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf ) seems to be outdated and i don't know how to fix it
[15:07] <kdogg> i meant enable sorry*
[15:08] <mphill> kdogg: what video card
[15:08] <darkvertex> Setebos: what is the user's uid and gid in /etc/passwd and /etc/group? If I'm not mistaken hey should default to 1000 or above.
[15:08] <LjL> ardchoille: lintian?
[15:08] <kdogg> mphill ita a nvidia gforce 6 series, worked fine until my last install  of intrepid
[15:09] <kdogg> it may have even worked after that
[15:09] <kdogg> I just noticed my windows werent wobbly anymore and now i cant enable it
[15:09] <ardchoille> LjL: That's it.
[15:10] <tj83> Hi, all, i need some help finding the appropriate package or application, I have samba set up on my home network with shares and that works just fine, now i wish to access those shares from work to my home, so i think what i need is a VPN, how wold one accomplish this in 8.04?
[15:10] <Grom> hello
[15:10] <thembimoyo> Hello
[15:10] <Mohammad[B]> in rythmbox how to i can change the Equalizer ?
[15:10] <Grom> how can I put deb package to ubuntu repository?
[15:11] <FebruariusX> hello wheres the right room to ask about high-availability / load-balancing
[15:11] <LjL> !revu | grom
[15:11] <mphill> kdogg: try to install envyng-gtk and reinstall the latest driver.
[15:11] <ne2k__> how is it determined which user apache2 runs as? it seems to be running as the first user I created when I installed the system, rather than as www-data or something like that. this seems stupid to me
[15:11] <darkvertex> FebruariusX: you could try #ubuntu-server
[15:11] <tj83> !vpn
[15:11] <jrib> ne2k__: it runs as www-data by default
[15:12] <mphill> kdogg: Envy will be in the System Tool under the main menu
[15:12] <Grom> ubottu, thanks :)
[15:12] <Mohammad[B]> in rythmbox how to i can change the Equalizer ?
[15:12] <kdogg> k
[15:12] <mphill> tj83: probably easiest to just change your router settings and setup a DMZ
[15:12] <ne2k__> jrib: well, it's running as my first user. why would this be happening?
[15:12] <ne2k__> FebruariusX: you might try #networking or ##linux
[15:12] <jrib> ne2k__: check /etc/apache2/envvars
[15:13] <ne2k__> jrib: it's set correctly in there, as www-data and www-data
[15:13] <tj83> mphill, well i tried to just port forward it.. that did not work and DMZ would be a bigger risk security wise no?
[15:13] <daftykins> hi all, what's the deal with the new gnome network manager? in particular, how are you supposed to implement static IP addressing correctly? i'm used to editing /etc/network/interfaces but of course that's been replaced by the manager.
[15:14] <jrib> ne2k__: check the value of APACHE_RUN_USER in a shell
[15:14] <daftykins> if i create a new sort of "profile" using the manager, it refuses to be set as the default when i login, i always have to change to it from "auth eth0"
[15:14] <daftykins> sorry "auto eth0"
[15:14] <mphill> tj83: I don't think so unless youhave like 50 services.  Samba (windows cifs) is sorta ghetto over subnets since its a broadcase protocol.  Have you considered running a FTP server or using SSHFS
[15:15] <tj83> i have FTP implemented mphill but i want to use them without transfering them
[15:15] <simplexio> daftykins: same problem her. i have newer got hta piece workin. so i also just edit interfaces file
[15:15] <ne2k__> jrib: ah, hang on. I upgraded from 6.06 to 8.04 and told it not to install the package maintainer's version of the apache2.conf. i think something's changed.
[15:16] <daftykins> do you do anything to disable the network manager from trying to run dhclient with eth0 before doing that simplexio ?
[15:16] <jrib> ne2k__: ah, well I do have these lines there: User ${APACHE_RUN_USER}; Group ${APACHE_RUN_GROUP}
[15:16] <ne2k__> jrib: that's fixed it, it's running as www-data now. thanks for helping me track it down
[15:17] <mphill> tj83: I see. There is no reason why from windows you should not be able to go \\ip of server\share name and access them.  You have port 139 forwarded? if it totally still does not work, I would look into openvpn.  However its quite a steep learning curve.
[15:17] <daftykins> is that file sharing causing issue over two subnets with router in between?
[15:18] <_Zeus_> does anyone know how I can use scp from a windows maching?
[15:18] <_Zeus_> s/ing/ine/
[15:18] <ne2k__> tj83: I missed the beginning. what are you trying to do?
[15:18] <daftykins> yes download "winSCP"
[15:18] <daftykins> free program

[15:18] <SystemFAILURE> Hello . How can I change the system language by terminal ?
[15:18] <tj83> mphill, yes exactly, port 139 is forwarded and i have not tried from windows yet but no go from ubuntu and i will look into openvpn, thanks a bunch
[15:18] <jabagawee> !ru | Enilight
[15:18] <AndyB> i have ubuntu 8.10.installed on a usb drive. i cant access it from windows due to the filesystem. can anyone recommend a program for this? i have tried 2 but they wont work
[15:18] <ikonia> EniLight: english please
[15:18] <afallenhope|work> EniLight, join #ubuntu-ru
[15:18] <jabagawee> AndyB, ext2fs
[15:19] <tj83> ne2k__, trying to access my samba shares remotely
[15:19] <ministry> LjL, thanks
[15:19] <ne2k__> AndyB: it's pretty much not possible
[15:19] <ne2k__> tj83: from windows?
[15:19] <ikonia> AndyB: ext3 file system support under windows is dubious, I't not receommned using it unless you are %100 confident you have a backup
[15:19] <tj83> ne2k__, windows and ubuntu both
[15:19] <daftykins> did you make the USB key a live USB key or just install ubuntu to it AndyB ?
[15:19] <ikonia> AndyB: or the data is not important
[15:19] <EniLight> ok, sorry
[15:19] <_Zeus_> AndyB: is it ext3?
[15:19] <AndyB> Thanks for the advice
[15:19] <simplexio> daftykins: i just define auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static
[15:19] <SystemFAILURE> I need to change my system language from it_IT to en_GB . How can I do that with the terminal ?
[15:19] <AndyB> _Zeus_, yes
[15:19] <N1ckR> anyone ever had problems with thunderbird not downloading the odd message body (headers fine) in imap (gmail) ?
[15:19] <_Zeus_> AndyB: http://www.fs-driver.org/
[15:20] <AndyB> Its just that i am having trouble with ubuntu it wont boot so i need to access some of the grub files from windows
[15:20] <daftykins> ah ok so after that the network manager systray app, does it stay there and say not connected or? @ simplexio
[15:20] <xfm> hello. I am on Ubuntu Intrepid. When I watch a video (vlc or streaming) the sound sometimes disapears during 20 seconds approximatively, then reappears. How can I fix this?
[15:20] <N1ckR> dont blink for so long ?
[15:21] <AndyB> _Zeus_, I just tried this program, but it kept teling me i needed to format the drive when i tried to open it
[15:21] <tj83> ne2k__, think openvpn is my ticket?
[15:21] <ikonia> AndyB please double check what I said earlier before pushing on
[15:21] <tony_> #ubuntu.it
[15:21] <_Zeus_> AndyB: umm...
[15:21] <mphill> xfm is it like that in all players, totem, vlc, mplayer, etc?
[15:21] <ne2k__> tj83: best thing to do in my experience is an ssh tunnel
[15:21] <tony_> installare hauppauge
[15:22] <AndyB> ikonia, Yes thank you, The ubuntu install has never been used so i dont mind using it, its just that i cant get it to boot. i need to edit some of the grub files.
[15:22] <Milos_SD> Hello all
[15:22] <ikonia> AndyB whats the problem booting it ?
[15:22] <AndyB> Its ok i can do it from the live CD.. It just takes 10 minutes to boot every time i need to change
[15:22] <xfm> mphill it seams so, cause I use mplayer for the streamings
[15:22] <simplexio> daftykins: it isnt htere at all, but i think i removed it from gnome-startup scripts. and please use standart way to ask or talk to me.. hint lines start eith my nick. its very hard to notice those msg
[15:22] <ikonia> AndyB what's actually the problem booting it
[15:22] <ne2k__> tj83: you create a loopback interface on windows with a made-up IP address, and then you tunnel between the local interface on the remote box and the virtual ip locally on port 139
[15:22] <tj83> ne2k__, yea... i briefly looked at that... 2 problems one minor one major. minor: the syntax string is about a mile long, and 2nd i need this to work from even a win box w/out putty or any extra applications
[15:23] <slayton> is there anyway to undelete things in linux
[15:23] <ikonia> slayton not really
[15:23] <AndyB> ikonia, I have tried installing ubuntu 4 times now, every time i install i get "kernel panic-not syncing VFS:unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)", before each install i have redownloaded, reburned, and reinstalled. So obviously im doing something wrong?
[15:23] <jrib> slayton: go to your trash and undelete the file
[15:23] <ne2k__> tj83: well if you need it to work without extra applications then you're not going to have a lot of luck with openvpn
[15:23] <ikonia> AndyB sounds like your device.map is wrong at a quick guess
[15:23] <daftykins> simplexio, ok thanks, i find it really surprising that such a replacement app is so badly coded to handle more advanced users
[15:23] <ikonia> AndyB: that should be fixable
[15:23] <afallenhope|work> slayton, check your trash .. otherwise what type of file systsem?
[15:23] <Milos_SD> Is there a way when I update Nvidia drivers from repos, to use them without restarting my PC? I can't just restart X, it complains about kernel modules not  being loaded.
[15:23] <AndyB> ikonia, Sorry typed that wrong, i get that error when i try booting from grub
[15:23] <tj83> ne2k__, lol ok, darn!
[15:23] <ikonia> AndyB: first a quick question, are you using raid ?
[15:23] <afallenhope|work> slayton, you can try testdisk
[15:23] <ne2k__> tj83: you can run putty without "installing" it, as it were, which ought to be good enough on even a library PC
[15:23] <afallenhope|work> !testdisk
[15:24] <afallenhope|work> ...
[15:24] <AndyB> ikonia, Raid? I dont even know what that is so i dont think so, if its a boot sys, no im using Grub
[15:24] <slayton> what happened was I ran an rsync script that removed a bunch of files.... what would be the best way of trying to recover those files?
[15:24] <slayton> so they aren't in the trash
[15:24] <ne2k__> tj83: yes, the syntax is a mile long, but you just put a file on your web server that sets it up
[15:24] <ikonia> AndyB no, raid is multiple hard disks joined together to make one
[15:24] <ne2k__> tj83: oh, hang on, no, you can't do it on a library pc because you can't create the extra loopback interface
[15:24] <ikonia> AndyB: a lot of people enable it on their motherboard
[15:24] <jrib> !recover | slayton
[15:24] <jrib> slayton: but really your just looking at using backups
[15:24] <simplexio> daftykins: yeah.. actually i have newer got it working right, but i use ubuntu only on desktops so it isnt that big problem
[15:24] <AndyB> ikonia, Ah, then no i am not using it
[15:24] <jrib> you're
[15:24] <afallenhope|work> that's what I was lookign for thanks jrib
[15:24] <gottesmm> quick question, I have a file which seems to hang when I stat it (I was trying to discover why updatedb was hanging). It sounds to me like it is a harddrive inconsistency which means implies I should fsck the system. Do you guys agree?
[15:25] <ikonia> AndyB thats great, that makes things easy
[15:25] <ne2k__> tj83: what do you actually need to do over this link?
[15:25] <tj83> ne2k__, ok thanks for all the suggestions i will just have to take some time and sit down, more research and draw some conclusions and plans :)
[15:25] <ikonia> are you able to boot into ubuntu to trouble shoot this with me /
[15:25] <lxd> hi
[15:25] <daftykins> simplexio, yeah i guess it's ubuntu server for the real stuff :D thanks anyway, i'll just edit /etc/network/interfaces as usual
[15:25] <ne2k__> tj83: I suspect that openvpn can be made to work without "installing", but it may bork at the thought of you doing anything "admin-ish" with the networking too
[15:25] <tj83> ne2k__, basically access a ton of files, documents and vid and music cause of my limited disk space on my notebook
[15:25] <sarat> hi
[15:25] <AndyB> ikonia, ah this is good news, ive been trying for days. everytime i install to this usb i get that error, it has worked before, but i needed to reinstall, and after i reinstalled i kept getting that error.
[15:25] <ne2k__> tj83: in what way "access"?
[15:26] <Jack_Sparrow> AndyB  Do you know the format of the partition you are using for the install.  THis is a normal install not some wubi or VM option .. correct
[15:26] <tj83> execute them w/out moving them
[15:26] <ne2k__> tj83: do you actually need to be able to open them through UNC paths as if they were local
[15:26] <ne2k__> tj83: ok
[15:26] <ikonia> AndyB ahhh your instlaling to usb
[15:26] <tj83> execute them w/out moving them ne2k__ yes
[15:26] <AndyB> Jack_Sparrow, Yes its a normal install to a usb drive, its ext3
[15:26] <onthefence928> is there a working pandora plug-in for AWN?
[15:26] <Jack_Sparrow> AndyB USB is not a normal install.. but it is one of the options
[15:26] <ne2k__> tj83: I think you're asking a lot
[15:26] <tony_> ubuntu it
[15:27] <AndyB> ikonia, Yes. I do not wish to partition my internal drive so im using a usb
[15:27] <ikonia> AndyB: ok, that complicates things a bit more, but still fixable
[15:27] <tj83> ne2k__, thing is i know your right... does seem like alot, but 5 min in xp and its done... should be possible in linux too
[15:27] <AndyB> Jack_Sparrow, Well im just running the normal install from live cd, and selecting to install to my usb hd
[15:27] <tony_> install hauppauge hvr 900?
[15:27] <ikonia> tony_: what about it
[15:27] <ne2k__> tj83: I don't think you're ever going to be able to do what you want without admin access on windows;
[15:27] <ikonia> tony_: you just keep sayign that
[15:28] <Jack_Sparrow> AndyB Fine, but there are differences that the person helping you needs to be aware of.
[15:28] <ikonia> Jack_Sparrow: well spotted
[15:28] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[15:28] <AndyB> Jack_Sparrow, Ah my appologies. I was unaware.
[15:28] <AndyB> Jack_S
[15:28] <kdogg> mphill it seems that i cannot use desktop effects with xinerama enabled
[15:28] <kdogg> anyone know a way around thet?
[15:28] <ikonia> kdogg nope
[15:28] <kdogg> that*
[15:28] <Jack_Sparrow> kdogg not if you are running nvidia..
[15:28] <khakane> anyone help me out with vmware server 2.0 in hardy, just got new kernel + gcc, and the gcc doesnt match the one the kernel was built with..
[15:28] <ne2k__> tj83: the ssh option was the one I went for when I went through this a while ago. I used srvany.exe to run a script which kept a putty tunnel alive in the background so it automatically restarts if you lose your network connection or suspend your notebook
[15:29] <kdogg> so ati can?
[15:29] <AndyB> Jack_Sparrow, Ikonia, maybe you should also be aware this has worked before, it worked on friday and i got it working, but i had an issue with grub and needed to reinstall. and then it stopped working
[15:29] <ikonia> AndyB what issue with grub
[15:29] <Jack_Sparrow> kdogg yes
[15:29] <simplexio> khakane: then make them match, recompile kernel using your new and shiny gcc ?
[15:29] <ikonia> AndyB: you don't just start having issues with grub unless something changes
[15:29] <xfm> mphill: could it be pulseaudio who decides that another application needs the canal and shut mine?
[15:29] <ne2k__> tj83: you don't need anything so complex on linux to be able to execute remote files -- the filesystem just works
[15:29] <tj83> ne2k__, many thanks again. i just need to do some homework before going further
[15:29] <afallenhope|work> Jack_Sparrow, I got it to work with nvidia. I think nvidia is much better than ATI for DE
[15:29] <Jack_Sparrow> kdogg I think you can use twinview, but you can ask in #compiz
[15:29] <khakane> simplexio: defeats teh purpose of prebuilt kernels
[15:30] <ikonia> afallenhope|work: didn't you use twinview though and not xinerama
[15:30] <KDB9000> I have a little problem. I can work around it for the most part but it is very annoying. When I right click in Firefox, it will sometimes auto select an option are random. This happens with my mouse and my touch pad on my laptop. Is there a way I could fix this?
[15:30] <kdogg> Jack_Sparrow any recommendations on a good but not expensive ati card?
[15:30] <zsquareplusc> hm. flash is not installable.. my problem is this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/304969
[15:30] <afallenhope|work> ikonia, nope. didn'twork. I had to install envy. and then I used nvidia-settings
[15:30] <ikonia> afallenhope|work: thats twinview
[15:30] <ikonia> afallenhope|work: not xinemera
[15:30] <Jack_Sparrow> kdogg See the people in compiz, they may have fixed that by now
[15:30] <ne2k__> tj83: particularly if you use fuse
[15:30] <AndyB> ikonia, Error 21, When i installed to usb. It installed grub into the MBR but put the Config files onto the USB. So i needed to have the USB plugged in to boot the computer. I tried to move GRUB to the internal drive but it only made things worse. So i started over again. Then when i reinstalled everything i started getting this error. (Note i have used Fixmbr and Fixboot before i reinstalled)
[15:30] <afallenhope|work> although.. that was on my Ubuntu box lol. I'm on Gentoo now
[15:31] <kdogg> ok thanks
[15:31] <simplexio> khakane: yes.. but then you have two options same gcc used to compile your kernel, or get kernel that is compiled save gcc version .. or offcourse you can forget vmware and use virtualbox
[15:31] <Toznoshio> KDB9000, I have had the same issue, but have not found a solution :(
[15:31] <ne2k__> tj83: http://asbjorn.it/blog/2007/01/fuse-for-windows/en/ looks as though some people are working on fuse for windows -- that would help you
[15:32] <Toznoshio> KDB9000, just a workaround
[15:32] <ikonia> zsquareplusc: that bug is still open if you read the bug report
[15:32] <simplexio> khakane: and i think you get same problem with that too. so you have only two options. and far as i can tell easiest option is compile kernel
[15:32] <afallenhope|work> !virtualbox | khakane
[15:32] <KDB9000> Toznoshio, whats the workaround?
[15:32] <KDB9000> Toznoshio, a workaround is better then nothing
[15:32] <Toznoshio> right-click towards the beginning of the link
[15:33] <KDB9000> Toznoshio, interesting. guess i will have to try that
[15:33] <mulender> I was recently trying several distros and I came across an odd thing. When I used a Broadcom Wireless card with Debian Lenny it worked with the kernel driver, but every other distros I tried either needed Ndiswrappered Win32 driver or in the case of Suse didn't work at all. My puzzle is this. Should Debian derived distros like Ubuntu work with the same kernel drivers?
[15:33] <etuardu> hello, in Intrepid Ibex, when I press ctrl+left/right arrow, it prints ";5D" or ";5C" instead of jumping to the next/previous word... how can i fix this?
[15:33] <zsquareplusc> ikonia: yup. and the last comment gives hope... but it means i cant use flash on that hardy for an unknown time :(  (gnash isn't compatible to the single site i really need flash)
[15:33] <ikonia> mulender no
[15:34] <mulender> ikonia so why not?
[15:34] <khakane> simplexio: virtualbox any better than vmware?
[15:34] <ikonia> zsquareplusc: what do you want us to do about it ?
[15:34] <etuardu> hello, in Intrepid Ibex (in gnome-terminal), when I press ctrl+left/right arrow, it prints ";5D" or ";5C" instead of jumping to the next/previous word... how can i fix this?
[15:34] <ikonia> mulender: because ubuntu uses a different kernel version
[15:34] <Toznoshio> etuardu, in VI?
[15:34] <AndyB> ikonia, No idea then?
[15:34] <etuardu> Toznoshio: in gnome-terminal
[15:34] <mulender> ikonia so when Ubuntu starts using the same kernel it will be supported?
[15:34] <ikonia> AndyB tons but you need to boot into ubuntu to walk it through
[15:35] <ikonia> mulender why would ubuntu use the same kernel, it's based on debian, not debian
[15:35] <zsquareplusc> ikonia: so there is no good workaround? (installing it manually is no good workaround) :-)
[15:35] <ikonia> zsquareplusc: so the auto install doens't work, and you don't want to install manaully - what do you want ?
[15:35] <simplexio> khakane: when i tested vmware server it slow as hell owhen installing visual studio, vbox di same stuff in 10x faster. thogh i think that there had to be somekind bug in vmware that i used
[15:35] <AndyB> ikonia, would live cd do?
[15:35] <atx> fuckers
[15:35] <atx> ;P
[15:35] <atx> i love ubuntuuuuuuuuuuh
[15:35] <xfm> me too
[15:36] <Toznoshio> etuardu, do you have "set -o vi" in .bashrc?
[15:36] <mulender> ikonia so I may just have to use Debian with that laptop and lump it?
[15:36] <ikonia> zsquareplusc: that bug gives you 3 options 1.) wait for a fix 2.) manually install 3.) enabled hardy backports -
[15:36] <simplexio> khakane: and you still have same problem with vbox because it need kernel-modules too.. probably im not 100% sure about it because i use custom kernel all time. it isnt that hard
[15:36] <ikonia> mulender: if you want
[15:36] <nadine> hello all
[15:37] <nadine> german poeple here?
[15:37] <ikonia> !de > nadine
[15:37] <mulender> ikonia well I prefer Ubuntu but Debian works better on that system :(
[15:37] <ikonia> mulender: ok
[15:37] <nadine> hä was
[15:37] <nadine> ^
[15:37] <felix_da_catz> When I use the GUI to mount a network (samba) share does it map to a directory somewhere on the drive?  Or is it only available through the GUI.
[15:38] <ikonia> felix_da_catz: normally mounts it on /media, "mount" command whill show you where things are mounted
[15:38] <nadine> oh mann ich hab in de schule in english net aufgepasst
[15:38] <ikonia> !de > nadine
[15:38] <zsquareplusc> ikonia: well, it's just a bad thing, in feisty broke that package and now its hardy. you can not seriously convince less computer savvy people to convert to ubuntu if the flash plugin breaks all the time :(
[15:38] <nadine> ikonia jaaaa
[15:38] <xfm> !fr
[15:38] <ikonia> zsquareplusc: this is a problem with ALL linux
[15:38] <ikonia> zsquareplusc: so no, I 'm not trying to convince anyone to use linux
[15:39] <Milos_SD> Is there a way when I update Nvidia drivers from repos, to use them without restarting my PC? I can't just restart X, it complains about kernel modules not  being loaded.
[15:39] <ikonia> Milos_SD: why do you want to update them ?
[15:39] <zsquareplusc> ikonia: it should work with hardy-backports? i have these in sources.list but i don't see a difference. hm
[15:39] <daftykins> Milos_SD,  does the installation generate a new module? you can probably modprobe the replacement and then reload X.
[15:40] <ikonia> zsquareplusc: if you read the bug report you'll see the details
[15:40] <Milos_SD> ikonia, I had an update today, from 177.80 to 177.82 :)
[15:40] <ikonia> Milos_SD: yes ?
[15:40] <AndyB> ikonia, i can log into live cd, or if you knew any webpages with instructions i could follow? i would greatly appriciate it.
[15:40] <ikonia> Milos_SD: that doesn't answer my question, why do you want to update the nvidia drivers
[15:40] <ikonia> !usb > AndyB
[15:40] <ikonia> !grub > AndyB
[15:40] <daftykins> AndyB,  what exactly are you trying to do with a USB key installation?
[15:40] <mulender> ikonia but basically it IS down to the kernel version and the distro is ared herring?
[15:41] <Milos_SD> daftykins, if the module is nvidia, I tryed that... didn't work... :(
[15:41] <ikonia> mulender pretty much
[15:41] <daftykins> Milos_SD, why is a reboot so much to ask?
[15:41] <ikonia> Milos_SD: that doesn't answer my question, why do you want to update the nvidia drivers
[15:41] <slayton> how can I display the filesystem type from the command line?
[15:41] <mulender> So I'm htinking when I've learn more I could choose that kernel over the default in any distro?
[15:41] <ikonia> slayton: mount will show you
[15:41] <ikonia> mulender: wouldn't reommend it
[15:41] <Milos_SD> ikonia, becouse it was offered to me from update manager...
[15:41] <mulender> Ah right
[15:41] <ikonia> Milos_SD: so you've update then, whats the problem
[15:42] <mulender> Yeah I supose their optimised for each set up
[15:42] <juro> hi, I am mounting a ntfs drive but always belongs to root - how can I make it belong to my user?
[15:42] <mulender> Good point
[15:42] <AndyB> daftykins, When i install ubuntu to a usb drive, from live cd. i get "Kernal Panic - not syncing :VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,0)"
[15:42] <daftykins> slayton you can "cat /etc/fstab" and read which file system is being mounted where
[15:42] <tony_> come si installa
[15:42] <daftykins> AndyB,  yeah i'm asking why you want to.
[15:42] <Milos_SD> daftykins, well... I don't like to reboot... and I have some services that need to work 24/7 ...
[15:42] <daftykins> Milos_SD,  then you shouldn't be running a 3D card on such a system ;)
[15:42] <Milos_SD> ikonia, problem is that I needed to reboot my PC if I wanted to use them :)
[15:42] <etuardu> Toznoshio: I do not have any problems in vi, this issue appears within the bash shell in gnome-terminal
[15:42] <ikonia> Milos_SD: whats the actual problem, you'lve applied the driver package, it will take effect next time you reboot
[15:42] <Newbe> 8.10 help no audio, no autorun program to reinstall os help
[15:42] <AndyB> daftykins, I want to run ubuntu from my usb harddrive as i have windows on my internal drive.
[15:43] <ikonia> Milos_SD: yes thats right, it's a running module so requires a reboot
[15:43] <mulender> ikonia So how come Lenny has the Newest Kernel? I thought it was more old fashioned distro. I need to read a lot more!
[15:43] <slayton> ikaros, daftykins thanks!
[15:43] <ikonia> mulender: ask the debian guys
[15:43] <miguel> hello
[15:43] <Milos_SD> ikonia, problem is that if I install Nvidia drivers with Nvidia .run script, I can just restart X and it will work... but with drivers from repos it is not enough :)
[15:43] <Toznoshio> etuardu, try installing the XFCE terminal
[15:43] <daftykins> AndyB, boot a CD-R of ubuntu 8.10 desktop and plug in your USB key, then go to System -> Administration -> Create a USB startup disk. is that what you've been doing?
[15:43] <ikonia> Milos_SD because they are tied into the running kernel version
[15:44] <Guest95043> I am doing a proyect in GNU Radio (GRCompanion) and I have a cuestion very important
[15:44] <mulender> ikonia actually i will say one thing for Debian - their hardware support is amazing. It even worked on my old 98 machine.
[15:44] <ikonia> Milos_SD: if you didn't want to reboot, don't reboot
[15:44] <komotheit> Hello, I would like some help relating to usplash not being able to use themes other than the default one since the upgrade to 8.10
[15:44] <mulender> Ok I've got the gist ikonia thanks for your help
[15:44] <Milos_SD> ikonia, I know... but I want to be able to use new version of drivers (firefox bug repaired)
[15:44] <Milos_SD> :)
[15:44] <ikonia> Milos_SD: then either kill X, unload the modules, do a depmod reload the new module, restart X
[15:45] <ikonia> I doubt it will work peroperly due to the tie in with the kernel
[15:45] <AndyB> daftykins, No i have been booting a CD of ubuntu 8.10 desktop and then clicking the install icon on the desktop, and when the partition manager loads i select the external drive, and it runs the install. i restart, select ubuntu from grub. it tries to boot and gives that error
[15:45] <ikonia> Milos_SD: just wait until your next reboot
[15:45] <ikonia> AndyB: read the USB info ubottu sent you
[15:45] <ikonia> AndyB: it expalins the difference for a usb install
[15:45] <Milos_SD> ikonia, did that... didn't worked... only if it's not "nvidia" name of the module :)
[15:45] <daftykins> AndyB,  do it my way to make a self-standing bootable USB key. you can even use the wizard to create permanent storage area, or just have it as a "Live USB key"
[15:46] <ikonia> Milos_SD: it's tied to the running kernel
[15:46] <Guest95043> Somebody that know GNU Radio??
[15:46] <Guest95043> please give me private
[15:47] <ikonia> Guest95043: http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuradio/
[15:47] <AndyB> ikonia, Are they not for installing FROM a usb? Im installing from the live cd, i have the image burned to the cd and wish to install ubuntu onto the drive to boot into, not a live version
[15:47] <Guest95043> thank you very much
[15:47] <ikonia> AndyB: no, the first one is a link to install to usb
[15:47] <AndyB> ikonia, Ah ok thanks will check it =]
[15:47] <gaintsura> hey all, ^_^ *happily browsing without a windows connection again* w00t!
[15:48] <Guest95043> but, i have seen this web, and dont help me
[15:48] <AndyB> daftykins, I would rather just do a full install, I know it works, I did it on friday, but i messed up grub and had to do it again, but when i tried again i got the above error
[15:48] <zsquareplusc> ikonia: are we reading the same bug report? i see someone expressing a wish, but there is no solution. the backports version is also broken. but we cal also stop this discussion, i'll have to wait..
[15:48] <ikonia> Guest95043: what do you want
[15:48] <ikonia> zsquareplusc don't know, I've closed the bug reprot
[15:48] <CAiRO> hi
[15:48] <shiMMer> hi2 guys
[15:48] <CAiRO> how can i configure vim.gnome so it actually start the gui editor and not the console one?
[15:49] <ikonia> CAiRO: use gvim ?
[15:49] <ikonia> CAiRO: not vim
[15:49] <CAiRO> ikonia: well, my editor alternative points to vim.gnome
[15:49] <rbil> !scrollkeeper
[15:49] <daftykins> AndyB,  fair enough, if you're not willing to take a known approach then i won't stand in your way.... though i would say that your problem probably stems from trying to install GRUB to the local disk despite wanting it on the key. you've probably affected your local Windows install now to try and get it working.
[15:49] <Guest95043> I want help for GNU Radio Companion
[15:49] <CAiRO> and i'm pretty sure that i've been using it to start gvim before
[15:49] <ikonia> CAiRO: what's in that file
[15:49] <Guest95043> I am doing a proyect of reception/ Transmision the OFDM
[15:49] <CAiRO> ikonia: its a symlink to vim.gnome :)
[15:49] <rbil> is it safe to remove scrollkeeper? seems to want to take half of gnome with it :-)
[15:49] <goodmami> CAiRO, you can alias vim to gvim if you want to start the gui editor with the "vim" command
[15:50] <ikonia> CAiRO: bu whawt is in that file
[15:50] <daftykins> rbil, i wouldn't recommend it
[15:50] <komotheit> Hello, I would like some help relating to usplash not being able to use themes other than the default one since the upgrade to 8.10
[15:50] <rbil> daftykins: can it be turned off or the crontab at least?
[15:50] <CAiRO> ikonia: good point, but /usr/bin/vim.gnome is a binary
[15:51] <ikonia> CAiRO: ok, so it's linking direct to the binary
[15:51] <daftykins> rbil, i think all it is is a function that maintains and orders help docs relating to installed software. i'm sure it can be safely avoided.
[15:51] <AndyB> daftykins, thank you for the advice
[15:51] <daftykins> np
[15:51] <CAiRO> ikonia: yes, svn uses the editor alternative as editor for entering comments.. and i want gvim to pop up
[15:52] <CAiRO> that has been working before.. i think on last friday it did work
[15:52] <CAiRO> but today, it doesnt
[15:52] <ikonia> CAiRO: odd
[15:52] <CAiRO> ikonia: yes, and that's all because vim.gnome does start vim in the terminal
[15:53] <CAiRO> i think a binary with ".gnome" in its name shouldn't be a terminal program
[15:54] <cousteau> how do I use bootchart?
[15:56] <uskill> Hello -- can anyone help me with a semaphore question?
[15:56] <incepator__> hi
[15:56] <jdsandeson> is this thing working?
[15:57] <Blinny> Is there a utility similar to nice, except for network downloads? I'd like to limit a wget session to, say, 80KB/sec
[15:57] <zsquareplusc> CAiRO: where how did you get the .gnome version? i just have a vim.gtk and it also starts in the console
[15:57] <darkvertex> Blinny: tc?
[15:57] <ActionParsnip> hey all
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> i'm trying to ffmpeg a file but am getting an error: Unknown encoder 'h264'
[15:58] <Blinny> darkvertex: Is that user-specific? I have 20 people logged into terminals on this box.
[15:58] <CAiRO> zsquareplusc: strange, i think that is a bug, vim.gnome is part of the vim-gnome package
[15:58] <Blinny> Hrm. Maybe 'trickle'
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> If i run: ffmpeg -formats i can see it in the list
[15:59] <darkvertex> Blinny: could be configured that way if you want.
[15:59] <komotheit> Hello, I would like some help relating to usplash not being able to use themes other than the default one since the upgrade to 8.10
[15:59] <zsquareplusc> CAiRO: ok, now i have the .gnome, and it starts in console
[15:59] <robert__> hi all, I just upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10 and all non-gnome applications don't display text..
[15:59] <darkvertex> Blinny: i.e. per ip addr
[15:59] <Blinny> darkvertex: Thanks. I think I found what I need in 'trickle' - runs in userspace and can attach to processes.
[15:59] <Blinny> darkvertex: Doesn't work - all users are on thin clients, so all applications run on the server (This is an LTSP server)
[15:59] <Blinny> darkvertex: I appreciate your suggestions. Cheers.
[16:00] <darkvertex> Blinny: ok. np
[16:00] <zsquareplusc> CAiRO: with -g it starts as gui, but it is not blocking then, bad for svn
[16:00] <jdsandeson> robert do you have an invidia g forse go?
[16:00] <robert__> nvidia gforce4
[16:01] <s0ullight> hello is there any way to undo the last token updates via upate-manager?
[16:01] <CAiRO> zsquareplusc: yes, exactly... and i'm sure it has been working not very long ago..
[16:01] <zsquareplusc> CAiRO: -f -g works but can you add options for alternatives?
[16:01] <jdsandeson> robert are you using the invidia driver or  the xorg driver?
[16:01] <robert__> nvidia 96 driver
[16:01] <zsquareplusc> CAiRO: i never had the gui, my vim on commits always opened in the console
[16:01] <jackd> hi. i have a little question about reverse ssh tunnel. the tunnel it self works very nice. but i want that the tunnel destination is not restricted to localhost. instead it should be accessable to all host in my local network. does someone know how to realize it?
[16:01] <CAiRO> zsquareplusc: i don't think so.. i could add a short batch script which actually calls gvim... so i could work around the problem but ideally i wouldn't have to do that
[16:02] <joachimATjku> does anyone know how I can edit the mouts in my "Places menu" in gnome
[16:02] <CAiRO> zsquareplusc: yes, i've explicitly configured my editor alternative to start vim.gnome
[16:02] <CAiRO> zsquareplusc: what does yours point to?
[16:02] <calum> A couple of people (whom I do not think are in channel atm) advised me to edit my 000-default file to enable the webserver to be like subdirectory of /home.
[16:03] <zsquareplusc> jackd: see -g option, however that may be insecure if your network has untrusted users
[16:03] <jackd> zsquareplusc: testing right now. thank you very much
[16:03] <jdsandeson> I have the same problem i have a g force 4 go same chip just in a laptop i disable the driver and evrything works ok except 3d when i want to run 3d i enable the driver use it and then disable it again
[16:03] <calum> I have also edited an apache2 file but I cannot have done it properly as no subdirectory has appeared :}
[16:04] <zsquareplusc> CAiRO: now that i installed vim-gnome, the alternative was automatically updated to vim.gnome.
[16:04] <robert__> jdsandeson, any ideas why?
[16:05] <calum> I have installed a webserver using tasksel.  How can I make the document root a subdirectory of /home ?
[16:05] <jdsandeson> Well The invidia driver is written for many cards and is propriatary some cards work b etter than others
[16:05] <robert__> jdsandeson, right.. so we should just wait for a new version?
[16:05] <zsquareplusc> calum: so you probably have apache2. and why not use /var/www?
[16:06] <jdsandeson> in my case there are several glitches
[16:06] <calum> I want to be able to access it as calum rather than as root :)
[16:06] <calum> I am the only user of the machine
[16:06] <zsquareplusc> calum: adduser calum www-data  and you can
[16:06] <jdsandeson> no the g force 2 and 4 are obselete need to get an fx 6200 or above
[16:06] <komotheit> Hello, I would like some help relating to usplash not being able to use themes other than the default one since the upgrade to 8.10
[16:06] <calum> Where do I do that zsquareplusc?
[16:07] <calum> Where do I type in adduser calum www-data?
[16:07] <robert__> jdsandeson, maybe I'm buying a new card soon anyway
[16:07] <zsquareplusc> calum: in a terminal with sudo, or use the user management tool in system->admin
[16:07] <s0ullight> alt f2 gksu
[16:07] <jdsandeson> at least you can darn thing is soldered down to my laptop
[16:08] <calum> Ok - so if I type that into terminal, it should work - I do not have to go to a particular directory or anything to do that?
[16:08] <robert__> jdsandeson, that sucks.
[16:08] <robert__> well, thanks for info
[16:08] <s0ullight> jdsandeson, with some heat you should be able to get it out
[16:09] <jdsandeson> robert do you know how to turn the invidia driver on and off?
[16:09] <robert__> yes
[16:09] <robert__> hardware drivers
[16:09] <zsquareplusc> calum: no. it just addds yourself to the group www-data. that means that you can access files owned by that group can be manipulated by you. the web server also has this group so you can do the same things as the webserver
[16:09] <jdsandeson> The only time i use it is for google earth
[16:10] <calum> ty zsquareplusc :)
[16:10] <robert__> for me, gaming and desktop effects
[16:10] <robert__> too bad, I'm gonna have to turn it off all the time :(
[16:10] <robert__> hope it works with wine then..
[16:10] <robert__> bye
[16:11] <jdsandeson> it should just might have to tinker around with which win version you are emulating
[16:11] <robert__> xp
[16:11] <robert__> ah ok
[16:11] <robert__> ill see then
[16:11] <robert__> thanks for info, bye
[16:11] <jdsandeson> later
[16:12] <jackd> hmm. ssh tunnel is still local only. i can see it with "netstat -anp --inet". my specified port is bound to <IP_ADDRESS> :(
[16:12] <PietroComo> hi
[16:12] <PietroComo> !list
[16:14] <komotheit> Hello, I would like some help relating to usplash not being able to use themes other than the default one since the upgrade to 8.10
[16:15] <calum> zsquareplusc: I still cannot edit the /var/www files without being root :(
[16:16] <calum> I must have misconfigured something when I tried to change the document root.
[16:19] <livindaylight> hi
[16:19] <livindaylight> has anyone here heard of xmind? http://www.xmind.net/
[16:19] <Elijah_Frost> Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I have an Ubuntu 8.10  computer, let us call it "Main Computer", and Windows XP computer, let us call it "Game Station". Main computer is connected to ADSL modem so it has good broadband connection. The question is: what is the most effective (and a simple) way to share this internet connection with my Game station (Windows XP machine). I'm thinking about VPN at the moment
[16:19] <livindaylight> I was wondering whether someone can help me install it?
[16:19] <ecasseano> 123
[16:19] <Ax-Ax> what can i do if a process doesn't stop?
[16:20] <livindaylight> Ax-Ax, kill it
[16:20] <calum> zsquareplusc: Do I need to change permissions on /var/www to let me edit it as calum?
[16:20] <livindaylight> Ax-Ax, System > Administration > System Monitor
[16:20] <jackd> if it has a guy -> type in konsole "xkill" and klick on the window of the tool you want to kill
[16:20] <Ax-Ax> livindaylight: i mean, when i kill it, nothing happens
[16:20] <jackd> a GUI i mean :)
[16:21] <SlimeyPete> Ax-Ax: kill -9 it
[16:21] <livindaylight> Ax-Ax, have you tried force-quuit?
[16:21] <simplexio> Elijah_Frost: transparent bridge
[16:21] <Mrokii> hello, I wondered if anybody in here can help an almost complete linux-newbie with making the 8.04-livecd work on an iMac G3
[16:21] <Ax-Ax> SlimeyPete: -9 did it :)
[16:21] <darkvertex> Ax-Ax: kill -KILL (process id)
[16:22] <simplexio> Elijah_Frost: assumint htat you 2 network card in main computer
[16:23] <calum> I want to be able to edit files on my ubuntu webserver without being root.  How do I do that, please?
[16:23] <Gandhi> I'm having trouble connecting to a wireless network using the network manager that comes with 8.10. I can connect to the network using Windows from the same computer and from Xubuntu on a different computer, which is why I think the network manager in 8.10 is the problem. Any suggestions on how to procceed would be greatly appreciated.
[16:24] <itona> hi there... how can i enable the email notifier without having evolution running?
[16:24] <jackd> calum: chmod a+w the.file
[16:24] <simplexio> Elijah_Frost: or just google ubuntu internet connection sharing and use that NAT guide
[16:24] <ompaul> calum, edit them as yourself and put them somewhere to be moved to the root of the server by a process in cron or else type sudo cp *.html /var/www/.
[16:24] <calum> just the file and not the directory, jackd?
[16:25] <Elijah_Frost> simplexio: thank you, will do
[16:25] <jackd> dir will also work
[16:25] <komotheit> Hello, I would like some help relating to usplash not being able to use themes other than the default one since the upgrade to 8.10
[16:25] <jackd> calum: not sure. simply test it :)
[16:26] <calum> Before I fresh installed ubunutu ibex, I had hardy heron and I was able to edit files as user in /var/www without difficulty.
[16:26] <Toznoshio> Gandhi, use wicd instead f netw mgr
[16:26] <calum> Would I need to do that every time I edited a file, ompaul?
[16:26] <Gandhi> Toznoshio : How do I do that? Is it already installed or should I download it now and save it to a USB key?
[16:27] <Toznoshio> Gandhi, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WICD
[16:27] <Gandhi> Toznoshio:  (I'm using Windows right now but will have to reboot to load Ubuntu)
[16:27] <calum> I think I need to reinstall the webserver and then try to apply the advice from this room again :)
[16:27] <ompaul> calum, if it is updated often then you should write it locally and have cron cruise by every five minutes and pick it up and drop it off wherever
[16:27] <ompaul> calum, ehh sudo apt-get remove --purge apache
[16:28] <calum> ah that sounds easier than I feared, ompaul - the apt-get part :)
[16:28] <Gandhi> Toznoshio : correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that guide assume I'm able to connect to the internet?
[16:29] <ompaul> calum, assuming you installed it with synaptic or apt-get
[16:29] <ompaul> calum, if not then you may have some nasty problems on your hands
[16:29] <calum> I did it with apt-get :)
[16:29] <calum> I did it using tasksel
[16:30] <Toznoshio> Gandhi, yes, or else you can download the .deb on another PC
[16:30] <jayde_drag0n> okay i have a weird problem, i just upgraded to intrepid ibex about 4 hours ago.. now when i goto watch videos either with totem or vlc, memory spikes to 100% this problem did not exist before the upgrade, can anyone assist?
[16:30] <sint> hey, how to stop a module from loading at boot time?
[16:30] <calum> I reckoned that tasksel would set it up for me as it ought to work without my breaking it during installation :-)
[16:30] <DualWolf> Hi guys, this is my first time using IRC.  I have a question, is there something I should do to ask a question?
[16:30] <ryuho-eeepc> i'm having trouble with SCIM not giving me an option other than English.. I have enabled other languages in the settings but still no luck
[16:30] <Toznoshio> sint, with "modprobe -r"
[16:30] <ryuho-eeepc> can anyone help me
[16:30] <jeaton_> what's a good program to convert avi, mp4 and etc. to dvd format?
[16:31] <zsquareplusc> calum: sorry, was afk. no you don't need to change permissions of /var/www when you added yourself to the group. however you may need to re login once to make the group chnage apply
[16:31] <Jaffarkelshac> DualWolf: simply ask the your question
[16:31] <alarond> jayde_drag0n: you could try re-installing vlc and trying. Or reboot before anything else.
[16:31] <Cige> so I have an occasional problem, sometimes my caps lock key toggles so that when the light is on caps is off and when the light is off caps is on
[16:31] <sint> Toznoshio: ya, this remove a loaded module, but it will be loaded next time i boot up my system. is there a way to prevent this?
[16:31] <alarond> DualWolf: yeah. ask.
[16:31] <jayde_drag0n> alarond: if the problem was with vlc it wouldn't extend to any video player would it?
[16:31] <Toznoshio> sint, only by recompiling the kernel
[16:31] <jackd> zsquareplusc: i fixed it. if you have the same problem like me one day, you should append in your /etc/ssh/sshd_config "GatewayPorts yes" :)
[16:32] <gnutron> calum: why would you un-install apache if you want to use it?
[16:32] <DualWolf> I recently installed ibm5250 from IBM and when I use Shift F9 in the application, it sends the application into la la land.  Is there a special function in Ubuntu 8.10 that I need to disable for it to work in the application?
[16:32] <calum> ah :)
[16:32] <Cige> I dont know much about program, how would I toggle the light without toggleing caps
[16:32] <sint> Toznoshio: really? i'm having a generic kernel. i never compiled it myself
[16:32] <calum> I think I may have misconfigured a file in it the setup of it gnutron :)
[16:33] <gaintsura> hey all, I've got ics setup via firestarter from my ppp device to eth0, but its not showing that any connection from the computer at eth0 is connecting to anything, does anyone have any ideas?
[16:33] <quizme> hello
[16:33] <Toznoshio> sint, then you're better off blacklisting that module
[16:33] <quizme> there is a shitload of people here
[16:33] <alarond> jayde_drag0n:  no. a possible reason wud be incorrectly configured video codecs. are you using g-streamer sets? if yes, then go to synaptic, uninstall, re-install. better to re-boot system before this tho'.
[16:33] <sint> Toznoshio: how?
[16:33] <gnutron> calum: I see... well you don't want to change permissions unless you want a very vulnerable server.
[16:34] <Cige> How would I go about changing the light for the caps lock key when it becomes stuck in the opposite position, eg. when the light is OFF it types in caps
[16:34] <Cige> just sort of annoying
[16:34]  * Gandhi1 is Gandhi, who timed out.
[16:34] <darkvertex> gaintsura: have you enabled ip_forwarding?
[16:34] <calum> I am the only person that uses this machine and it is just for testing before putting onto the internet that I use it, gnutron.  The rest of those on the network are family.
[16:34] <ryuho-eeepc> what's the default foreign language input method  program for ubuntu (gnome)?
[16:34] <Toznoshio> sint, for an example, go to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[16:35]  * Gandhi1 Kicks Gandhi in the nuts. Timeout already.
[16:35] <sint> Toznoshio: ok, thanks :)
[16:35] <Bart_> Hi hi , can someone tell me how to fix the "opening 0 items" problem/
[16:35] <gaintsura> darkvertex: I thought I had... perhaps not, how can I check?
[16:35] <DualWolf> For ibm5250, I was able to use Shift+F9 on ubuntu 8.04 and I was wondering if this has a special function in 8.10 that needs to be turned off.
[16:35] <Cige> How would I go about changing the light for the caps lock key when it becomes stuck in the opposite position, eg. when the light is OFF it types in caps
[16:35] <jayde_drag0n> alarond: i'm not sure what sets i'm using.. i followed "how to" instructions when i went to install the codecs previously.. so i don't remember what i typed.. and whatever they were, at the time i was under a fresh 8.04 install which has been less that 2 months ago because i got my new computer then (this one)
[16:35] <calum> It is not like I am in an office.
[16:36] <darkvertex> try cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
[16:36] <DualWolf> On the net, I found a bunch of stuff about some rain effect with Shift+F9 but nothing else.
[16:36] <Gandhi1> So, right, same problem; I am able to connect to the wireless network through windows on the same computer, and Xubuntu on another, but not through Ubuntu 8.10. I think the network manager is to blame. I need a solution that includes me saving something to a USB key or something.
[16:36] <quizme> anybody use fc2 here ?
[16:36] <quizme> is ubuntu 8.10 good for server side ?
[16:37] <alarond> Cige: lol. nice problem. :) did you try enabling caps lock LED in BIOS?
[16:37] <Jaffarkelshac> DualWolf: the rain effect is if you have compiz enabled.
[16:37] <gaintsura> darkvertex: all that returned was '1'
[16:37] <ne2k__> Cige: there's a command line program, can't remember the name
[16:37] <zsquareplusc> quizme: for a server you might consider 8.04/hardy as is has longer support (LTS) but both work fine for servers
[16:37] <zsquareplusc> ne2k__: setleds?
[16:38] <quizme> zsquareplusc: thanks. no cpanel though right?
[16:38] <Cige> ne2k__: can you at least point me in the right direction?
[16:38] <DualWolf> Hi Jaffarkelschac!  I am not familiar with compiz, is this something that I need to turn off?
[16:38] <Bart_> Nobody knows how to fix it?
[16:38] <darkvertex> gaintsura:  then it has been forwarded. Do you have masquerade on your iptables rules?
[16:38] <zsquareplusc> quizme: cpanel?
[16:38] <Jaffarkelshac> so when you press shift f9 do you get the rain effect? DualWolf
[16:38] <gaintsura> I disabled all my iptables rules except for whatever firestarter set
[16:38] <jayde_drag0n> ne2k__: dumb question, but in windows you can pull up an on screen keyboard, can you do the same in ubuntu? and if so, if you have caps lock ON there and it was OFF on your keyboard.. would the lights have switched?
[16:39] <alarond> jayde_drag0n:  okay. Go to System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager. you'll be prompted to give your password
[16:39] <DualWolf> I tried Shift+F9 outside of the ibm5250 application to see if it has a special purpose, but it didn't do anything that I noticed.
[16:39] <jayde_drag0n> alarond: done
[16:39] <gaintsura> darkvertex: I did not see masquerade on my iptables rules.
[16:39] <alarond> jayde_drag0n:  then at the search bar, type in 'gstreamer'
[16:39] <alarond> are they installed?
[16:40] <quizme> zsquareplusc: yeah
[16:40] <Cige> it's not a bios problem because it normally works, it just happens occasionally, usually when i've been working on a paper for a few hours
[16:40] <jayde_drag0n> alarond: some are, yes
[16:40] <darkvertex> gaintsura: you could also check route -n to see if routing enabled to diff networks
[16:40] <Jaffarkelshac> by default that key combination does not do anything except when configured in ccsm DualWolf
[16:40] <Cige> so I'm inclined to think that it is a software problem
[16:40] <klync> how can i save the state of aptitude before running `aptitude keep-all`, in case I want to restore it or just review the state?
[16:40] <Gandhi2> ARGH. If anyone replied to my question I missed it. Could you re-paste it?
[16:41] <DualWolf> Hmmp.  I also tried tn5250, which is an open source version of the emulator and that doesn't work either.  Which leads me to believe it's an Ubuntu thing.
[16:41] <DualWolf> I sent a request to IBM for assistance with no replay and I need this to keep a Linux only workstation at home.
[16:41] <jayde_drag0n> alarond: do i uninstall all of them?
[16:42] <alarond> no no
[16:42] <gaintsura> darkvertex: heres the pastebin from route -n and sudo iptables -L http://pastie.org/334018
[16:42] <Jaffarkelshac> i am not sure i get your problem, is the shift f9 supposed to do something that its not? DualWolf
[16:42] <darkvertex> gaintsura: let;s see
[16:42] <DualWolf> Shift+F9 is needed to debug application on the AS/400, iSeries, System i, IBM i; whatever the name of the month is...
[16:43] <DualWolf> When I try to execute this key combination, the emulator just runs like it's doing something, but never returns user interface control.
[16:43] <alarond> jayde_drag0n:  okay. i'll ask you to re-install a common plug-in set. that'll do a fresh install.
[16:43] <alarond> jayde_drag0n:  open the terminal.
[16:43] <jayde_drag0n> alarond: okee dokee.. opening the terminal
[16:44] <jayde_drag0n> alarond: sudo apt-get install what
[16:44] <alarond> jayde_drag0n:  sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
[16:44] <Cige> oh well, it doesn't really matter because I can just typr lowercase with the caps light on
[16:44] <Jaffarkelshac> i am not sure how to help then, i am not familiar with this emulator, but shift f9 does not do anything special in ubuntu unless configured to do so  DualWolf
[16:45] <Shark_7-11> Hi. I have a smartphone running WM6, is there a way to get/sync my contacts on it ?
[16:45] <alarond> jayde_drag0n:  su
[16:45] <alarond> jayde_drag0n:  and sudo apt-get install mpg123
[16:45] <jayde_drag0n> alarond: some were already at their newest versions, and so weren't re-installed.. is that okay?
[16:45] <alarond> This would enable most of the popularly used codecs in the Totem Movie player which uses the GStreamer framework to play audio/video files.
[16:45] <DualWolf> Well, thanks for your feedback.  I'll follow up with IBM to see if they could help out.  I'd hate to have to dual boot on Windows for a single app....
[16:45] <jeaton> what's a good program that will allow me to covert avi and other formats over to dvd and burn them?
[16:45] <jayde_drag0n> alarond: the second one.. same.. already at its newest version
[16:46] <Jaffarkelshac> DualWolf: by they way, did you install this app from ubuntu repo
[16:46] <alarond> jayde_drag0n:  that will not do. the prior installations have to be overwritten. please go to synaptic, uninstall the gstreamer codecs, then re-install.
[16:46] <DualWolf> I just did a fresh install on Ubuntu 8.10 and didn't monkey around too much with the settings, so everything should be at default setting with Shift+F9 and it doesn't work on ibm5250 or tn5250.
[16:46] <darkvertex> gaintsura: I don't see any gateway to 10.6.x.x. Besides do you own the entire 168.254.x.x net? I'm assuming this is meant to be your local network right?
[16:46] <DualWolf> No, I downloaded from IBM.  Converted the rpm to deb with alien and installed that.
[16:47] <Jack_Sparrow> DualWolf not the best choice
[16:47] <DualWolf> With tn5250, I used apt-get
[16:47] <darkvertex> gaintsura: where are the clients located? what ip addr?
[16:47] <jayde_drag0n> alarond: since i do not know the names of every codec, do i just uininstall the ones that said "already at newest version" or uninstall everything that says gstreamer
[16:47] <Maria-ES> Hello everyone, I was wondering - why does ubuntu have openarena version 0.7.7 when it has few servers and version 0.8.1 is out? Just curious =)
[16:47] <gaintsura> darkvertex: 10.6.x.x is my external connection, and 169.254.x.x is my internal network (eth0
[16:48] <Jack_Sparrow> DualWolf I have not worked on an as-400 in ages, but there were some keyboard tricks we had to use with some termnal emulators
[16:48] <DualWolf> Why is that not the best choice Jack_Sparrow?
[16:48] <wolfdart> I did a filter on FlexRSS (Deluge's plugin) for the Dexter show, but the filter match the "normal Dexter" and the "720p Dexter". I need get off the "720p"! So?
[16:48] <Dabbu> in synaptic if i search something..even though the name exist it will show no result...any help ?
[16:49] <alarond> jayde_drag0n:  'already at newest version'. after that, type the commands into terminal again.
[16:49] <gaintsura> wolfdart: search "Dexter" AND NOT "720p"
[16:49] <jayde_drag0n> alarond: okay
[16:49] <DualWolf> Jack_Sparrow, yes I am very familiar with those.  Most commonly it's the enter key.  I tried checking the keyboard maps for the function keys and they all seem legit.
[16:49] <Jack_Sparrow> !alien
[16:49] <zsquareplusc> Dabbu: sont use the quicksearch field and make sure it is empty
[16:49] <gnutron> Dabbu: be sure the 'All' sections are highlighted in the left pane, then search.
[16:49] <alarond> jayde_drag0n:  incidentally, which application is showing the 100% memory usage? like, what's the message like?
[16:50] <Dabbu> gnutron: i do that br quick search show no result..
[16:50] <darkvertex> gaintsura: IMO you should use 192.168.x.x for you internal net. Your ppp is directly connected to the internet right?
[16:50] <joshua__> hi
[16:50] <gaintsura> yes, ppp is directly connected
[16:50] <Green_if_it_was_> who ia joshua?
[16:50] <joshua__> this is cool
[16:50] <Jaffarkelshac> there is a tn5250 in the repo, i assumed that is the one you tried or was that also a rpm from ibm DualWolf
[16:50] <joshua__> sorry, just testing this out.
[16:51] <DualWolf> That's disappointing.  IBM boasts Linux support, but it's disappointing.  This isn't the first time.
[16:51] <darkvertex> gaintsura: so where is this 10.6.x.x located?
[16:51] <Green_if_it_was_> josh woolems?
[16:51] <joshua__> no, joshua wells
[16:51] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot
[16:51] <gaintsura> darkvertex: 10.6.x.x is given from ppp0
[16:52] <joshua__> so, what is the general topic of discussion?
[16:52] <saurabh> how can i use my webcam in ubuntu
[16:52] <wolfdart> gaintsura, Hmm, doesn't match! The filter to all Dexter is "dexter.%sx%e". The "dexter.%sx%e AND NOT 720p" doesn't match the "normal Dexter"! =/
[16:52] <jayde_drag0n> alarond: did not fix the problem
[16:52] <saurabh> how can i use my webcam in ubuntu
[16:52] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot > joshua__
[16:52] <saurabh> hello
[16:52] <Jack_Sparrow> !webcam
[16:52] <joshua__> sudo apt-get install cheese
[16:52] <gnutron> Dabbu: click on 'sections' click on 'all' then do your search.
[16:52] <saurabh> yes
[16:53] <joshua__> i am gonna go, this was just a test to see what it does.
[16:53] <jason_> v
[16:53] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[16:53] <jayde_drag0n> alarond: what message?? i open a movie.. currently i chose pushing daisies.. it opens in totem, like it always has.. but now instead of being smooth .. the video is choppy.. and the memory bar is maxxed
[16:53] <jayde_drag0n> alarond: i have system monitor in my top panel
[16:53] <gaintsura> darkvertex: am fixing the internal network address now, hold please =)
[16:54] <darkvertex> gaintsura: great. I'll wait ...
[16:54] <gaintsura> thanks
[16:54] <alarond> jayde_drag0n: okay. run any media. while running, type 'top' into the terminal
[16:54] <DualWolf> I used "apt-get install tn5250" to install the tn5250.
[16:54] <optx> hi does anyone here got x-fi extreme audio on ubuntu 8.10 running ?
[16:54] <alarond> jayde_drag0n: it should show the % memory usage of that process.
[16:55] <jayde_drag0n> alarond: totem cpu% 87.5  mem% 9.2
[16:55] <DualWolf> Is there a better way to convert rpm for install on ubuntu than alien?
[16:55] <ikonia> DualWolf best not to use rpm's at all
[16:56] <khakane> is there a decent command line app to post to usenet with?
[16:56] <ikonia> khakane pine can do usenet I think
[16:56] <gnutron> khakane: slrn
[16:56] <bazhang> !info pan
[16:56] <DualWolf> Then, maybe a request from IBM for a deb package might be the way to go?
[16:56] <gaintsura> darkvertex: ok, I changed them on both the windows box (<IP_ADDRESS>) and my box's eth0 (<IP_ADDRESS>)
[16:56] <bazhang> khakane, pan
[16:56] <quizme> good night
[16:57] <bazhang> oops terminal
[16:57] <DasEi> !compile | DualWolf
[16:57] <gaintsura> but still, to no avail, I have no connection on the windows box
[16:57] <gnutron> khakane: slrn is a command line usenet reader, easy to setup, pan is a GUI reader.
[16:57] <lasivian_> I need a version of Newsleecher for Ubuntu
[16:57] <alarond> jayde_drag0n: which is expected. top shows the correct usage and 9.2% is fine.
[16:57] <jayde_drag0n> alarond: one thing has changed tho.. now VLC is not at the top, and it wasn't choppy.. BUT i would like to fix totem if i can
[16:58] <YlandeFaran> I want to convert many .bmp files to .jpg. I rather not write the names of each and every one.
[16:58] <peter_> Good afternoon from Spain everybody. I have a question relating to Intrepid Ibex and the veeeeery sloooooow ripping of cds....Anyone else had the same issue?
[16:58] <darkvertex> gaintsura: see if you can ping both boxes to each other
[16:58] <YlandeFaran> How can I make a smooth command to do this?
[16:58] <gaintsura> ok, hold
[16:58] <DualWolf> Compiling from source.  I was hoping this wouldn't be an all day project.
[16:58] <jayde_drag0n> alarond: it is expected for totem to use between 85 and 95 percent of the cpu?
[16:59] <Photoguy> What is that bots name?
[16:59] <Scunizi> ubottu
[16:59] <DasEi> !brain | Photoguy
[16:59] <gaintsura> darkvertex: ping failed on both sides
[16:59] <alarond> jayde_drag0n: u said 9.2 right?
[16:59] <jayde_drag0n> alarond: 9.2% of mem.. not of cpu cpu varied between 85% and 95%
[16:59] <danielbw> i am having problems controlling the drag selection in openoffice
[17:00] <danielbw> it won't stop when i want it to
[17:00] <kevin__> YlandeFaran: you should check out imagemagick
[17:00] <danielbw> i mean openoffice calc
[17:00] <danielbw> i am using xinerama and four heads on the system
[17:00] <kevin__> YlandeFaran: specifically the mogrify command. it'll convert multiple images to another format with one command, renaming them too
[17:01] <darkvertex> gaintsura: so how are the hardware setup? I mean both boxes are connected to a switch/hub? And your linux box directly connected to the modem?
[17:01] <gaintsura> darkvertex: linux box directly connected to usb adapter (ppp0), ethernet crossover cable from linux box to windows box
[17:02] <alarond> jayde_drag0n: what is the PID of the process?
[17:02] <Jack_Sparrow> !bridge
[17:02] <jayde_drag0n> alarond: now that we did those installs i know the problem was combined codecs/players..  How does route -n look on the linux box now?
[17:03] <skorasaurus> hi, how do I request that a package from jaunty (which has bug fixes) is released as an update to intrepid ?
[17:03] <tobor> hi, I have system (LTS 6.06) thats takingn 1:40 seconds to do the "mounting root file system" step at boot time.  IIRC this is much longer than it used to be.  Does any have an idea what it might be?
[17:03] <peter_> Anyone help me with the cd ripping problem? please feel free to pm me if you think that it would spoil the rhythm of the open channel
[17:03] <jayde_drag0n> alarond: 12958
[17:03] <gaintsura> darkvertex: http://pastie.org/334041
[17:03] <ikonia> skorasaurus as jaunty is not released yet you won't be getting any backports
[17:03] <DualWolf> Thanks for your feedback. I was hoping for a special Shift+F9 answer, but no luck.  I'm heading over to IBM.  Thanks!
[17:03] <ikonia> tobor slower response to dhcp, fsck,
[17:03] <DasEi> peter: which app do you use ?
[17:04] <peter_> I¡ve been using rhythmbox
[17:04] <tobor> ikonia: its got a static IP.  AFAIK its not doing any fsck.
[17:04] <alarond> jayde_drag0n: we'll renice the CPU priority of the process to 19. type 'r' in top. then u'll be asked to specify a renice value. put 19.
[17:04] <DasEi> peter: try k3b ,also see:
[17:04] <DasEi> !burn
[17:04] <ikonia> tobor usb devices taking a moment or two to discover
[17:04] <peter_> and I have the same prob with 64 bit and 32 bit, also hardy. Curiously suse 11 works just fine, but I can't stand kde4.1 yet
[17:04] <alarond> jayde_drag0n: totem shows 4.7% on my machine. lol, the usage IS over the top!
[17:05] <DasEi> peter: sudo apt-get install k3b
[17:05] <ne2k__> rhythmbox. seemingly great music player. but when I copy an album from a CD to my library, and then play it back, it has gaps between the tracks. I thought this was the 21st century?!
[17:05] <tobor> et multihost on
[17:05] <peter_> same prob with k3b too.....I wonder if its a kernel issue?
[17:05] <darkvertex> gaintsura: that looks better. But if you still cannot ping from the linux box to the windows one, then maybe you should check your crossover cable first
[17:05] <gaintsura> its a brand new cable
[17:05] <Jack_Sparrow> gaintsura what did you use to bridge the connection?
[17:06] <Jack_Sparrow> gaintsura Firestarter is popular for that purpose
[17:06] <gaintsura> I'm using firestarter to share the internet from linux to the eth0
[17:06] <nax> hi
[17:06] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[17:06] <jayde_drag0n> alarond: okay.. was it suposed change?
[17:06] <azexian> hello, I'm getting this really annoying issue trying to get 3 monitors going. I've enabled the onboard gpu (as well as a normal gpu) and both display in lspci, without the onboard one enabled I can get a picture between the two on the normal gpu, with the onboard enabled (and setup in xorg.conf) it just loads up black, I can't ctrl+alt+f1 (or any others) and the only thing I can do is restart,, where can I see what's goin
[17:06] <ne2k__> gaintsura: you can't ping either one from either side? have you checked software firewall settings?
[17:06] <gaintsura> darkvertex: I use firestarter for sharing, and guarddog to maintain iptables, but currently guarddog is disabled
[17:06] <alarond> jayde_drag0n: yes.
[17:07] <gaintsura> ne2k__: yes, iptables on my side is clear, and there is no firewall on the windows system
[17:07] <jayde_drag0n> alarond: i think i'll just give up, uninstall totem.. and set all the videos to open in vlc.. but thats really a band-aid.. BUT if i don't see a problem anywhere else.. its a band-aid i can live with
[17:07] <DasEi> peter: could you paste your /etc/hdparm.conf ?
[17:07] <ne2k__> gaintsura: you should check with iptables -L that the iptables is actually clear
[17:07] <ne2k__> gaintsura: have you got the netmasks set correctly?
[17:07] <ne2k__> gaintsura: what is the output of arp -a?
[17:07] <darkvertex> gaintsura: I think the cilprit may be the cable itself. The cable (assuming its a category 5/6 type) should have a certain reverse sequence of colors.
[17:07] <gaintsura> its got a couple of lines in it ne2k__, but I can flush them.
[17:08] <peter_> sure dasei, but I thought that dma issues are no longer addressd thorugh hdparm?
[17:08] <darkvertex> *culprit
[17:08] <alarond> jayde_drag0n: hang around IRC. you
[17:08] <ne2k__> gaintsura: not if you're happy that they are not interfering
[17:08] <gaintsura> darkvertex: I'll double check that
[17:08] <alarond> jayde_drag0n: you'll get a more wise ubuntu-guide soon. :)
[17:08] <ne2k__> gaintsura: are you actually getting a link light on the NIC at both ends?
[17:08] <gaintsura> yes
[17:08] <gaintsura> firestarter wont start unless both connections are active
[17:08] <gaintsura> and windows says its connected
[17:09] <DasEi> peter: though I mostly still use hardy, my ibex doesn't do so, very slow dma is an idea
[17:09] <ne2k__> gaintsura: output of mii-tool?
[17:09] <azexian> I've got a problem trying to get 3 monitors going, I've setup xorg so it longer gives an xerror, but it just shows black on all screens when I startx now, the xorg log is error free, what else can I do?
[17:09] <jayde_drag0n> alarond: you were fine.. i just lack patience LOL.. cuz its either that or reinstall 8.04 and say screw ibex.. cuz this is the 2nd time i've had major issues with it on a system
[17:09] <da_> what MP3 players work with Linux
[17:09] <skorasaurus> so, i just wait for jaunty for the fixed bug ?
[17:09] <ne2k__> gaintsura: have you got more than one nic in each machine? have you definitely set the IP on the right nic?
[17:09] <gaintsura> sudo mii-tool: eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok
[17:09] <LjL> !players > da_    (da_, see the private message from ubottu)
[17:10] <ryuho-eeepc> i can't type japanese with uim (anthy) in xchat, but I can on other stuff.. anyone know what to do?
[17:10] <gaintsura> no multiple nics in either one
[17:10] <peter_> Well lets ahave a look anyway, DasEI, or should I say "the egg"
[17:10] <ne2k__> gaintsura: output of arp -a?
[17:10]  * thebinz is back (gone 21:19:51)
[17:10] <DasEi> peter: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DMA
[17:10] <gaintsura> ne2k__: no output of arp -a
[17:10] <Jack_Sparrow> gaintsura You dont have two nics in your ubuntu box?
[17:10] <Neon_Stig> hey guys.. was wondering if I can get some help with installing ibex on an existing partition.. I've had a google and read and, with my raid setup it looks over complicated, and I don't want to loose what I have so,
[17:10] <gaintsura> no
[17:10] <ne2k__> gaintsura: have you changed the MAC address on either machine? do they have the same mac address?!
[17:10] <jayde_drag0n> alarond: thank you for helping tho
[17:10] <gaintsura> its a usb adapter thats ppp0, the nic is for the ics
[17:10] <Lancelot> do I need a special computer to use MythTV? (the tv aspect)
[17:11] <gaintsura> ne2k__: no, and no
[17:11] <Jack_Sparrow> !mythtv
[17:11] <egoflux> can itunes import playlists from amarok?
[17:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Lancelot the short answer is no
[17:11] <ne2k__> gaintsura: open two terminals side by side; run "tcpdump -n -i eth0 arp or icmp" in one "ping x.x.x.x" in the other
[17:11] <ne2k__> gaintsura: where x.x.x.x is the IP of your windows machine
[17:12] <Lancelot> okay, thank you, jack
[17:12] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[17:12] <darkvertex> ne2k__: gaintsura has trouble pinging between his two boxes
[17:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Lancelot see also linuxmce
[17:12] <Lancelot> okay, thanks ;)
[17:12] <ne2k__> darkvertex: I know. that is why I am trying to help him diagnose where the problem lies
[17:12] <ne2k__> darkvertex: what did you think I was talking about?
[17:13] <ryuho-eeepc> i can't type japanese with uim (anthy) in xchat or firefox, but I can on other stuff (gedit).. anyone know what to do?
[17:13] <darkvertex> ne2k__: if ping doesn't work, then it is superfluous to run tcpdump IMO
[17:13] <gaintsura> ne2k__: when I ping I get this: PING <IP_ADDRESS> (<IP_ADDRESS>) 56(84) bytes of data. From <IP_ADDRESS> icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
[17:13] <ne2k__> darkvertex: no
[17:14] <gaintsura> and the first terminal (tcpdump) showed nothing
[17:14] <Jack_Sparrow> ryuho-eeepc Are you running eeebuntu or regluar ubuntu?
[17:14] <ne2k__> gaintsura: and arp -a shows nothing?
[17:14] <ne2k__> gaintsura: are you running tcpdump as root?
[17:14] <ryuho-eeepc> umm jack-desktop eeebuntu
[17:14] <Jack_Sparrow> !eeepc
[17:14] <ryuho-eeepc> do i not have some installs
[17:15] <Jack_Sparrow> ryuho-eeepc Our japaneese channel may be of more help with that particular problem
[17:15] <ne2k__> darkvertex: it helps to know whether arp requests are being sent or not, and whether the reply is being received. quite a lot happens between typing ping and an ethernet frame coming out
[17:15] <Neon_Stig> Is it possible to install Ubuntu on an existing partition on a raid setup? I've tried the regular installer and it only recognises the two hard drives not the 3 partitions,
[17:15] <Jack_Sparrow> !raid
[17:16] <ryuho-eeepc> Jack_Sparrow, but it's input for japanese, not the whole OS being japanese
[17:16] <darkvertex> ne2k__: your right on that, my mistake
[17:16] <ne2k__> darkvertex: np. I do this stuff for my job ;-)
[17:16] <dual> I'm having a problem with my microphone
[17:16] <tonyyarusso> My Gnome battery status panel applet and 'acpi -V' disagree on the time remaining, but claim the same charge percentage.  I believe acpi's estimate to be more correct.  How can I sync them?
[17:16] <dual> I can hear it on my loudspeakers, but I cant record it
[17:16] <darklord> hi
[17:16] <Jack_Sparrow> ryuho-eeepc they would still be more likely to know..  or the people at EEE that created your version of Ubuntu

[17:17] <JustAnotherMark> Hi peeps. I'm trying to connect to a wireless network using Ubuntu 8.10 but failing. I am currently connected to the wireless network through windows on the same PC, can also connect to the network using Xubuntu. For this reason I thing the network manager is at fault and should try downloading a new one, save it to a USB key, install it and then try connecting again. Does anyone have any...
[17:17] <Neon_Stig> Jack_Sparrow: Thanks :)
[17:17] <JustAnotherMark> ...suggestions with respect to this?
[17:17] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[17:17] <Jack_Sparrow> !br
[17:17] <dual> Does anyone know why I can hear my microphone from the speakers, but not record what I hear?
[17:18] <ne2k__> dual: the playback control and recording control are separate. you need to enable the microphone in the recording control to have it recorded, and in the playback control to have it come directly out of the speakers
[17:18] <rafting> How do I check what I need to get wireless working? It is very annoying not be able to have internet in Ubuntu since it makes changing other stuff very hard when I constanyl ahev to reboot and change to Vista.
[17:18] <rafting> wtf!?
[17:18] <rafting> How do I check what I need to get wireless working? It is very annoying not be able to have internet in Ubuntu since it makes changing other stuff very hard when I constanyl ahev to reboot and change to Vista.

[17:18] <JustAnotherMark> rafting: I'm feeling that pain right now :s
[17:18] <dual> me2k_: Is that in the Alsa Mixer?

[17:19] <egoflux> that sux
[17:19] <DasEi> !patiene | rafting
[17:19] <rafting> When I boot up Ubuntu and turn on the wireless it gets reecognized, it finds the netwrok and asks for authentification but then it never gets the key.
[17:19] <azexian> anyone? need some help getting 3 monitors going, currently just get black on all when I start (no xerrors) xorg.conf here: http://pastebin.com/f7bc71285
[17:19] <egoflux> ahh
[17:19] <rafting> so what is ther error then?
[17:20] <Jack_Sparrow> egoflux Even ubuntu cant install a driver if it does not exist
[17:20] <ne2k__> rafting: you said the exact same thing twice in a row with "wtf?!" in between, in the space of about ten seconds. that's flooding
[17:20] <gaintsura_> arrggg
[17:20] <JustAnotherMark> egoflux: There are wireless drivers and a network manager but it doesnt work properly. It's restricting the secruity protocols and not letting me connect.
[17:20] <DasEi> !patience | rafting
[17:20] <egoflux> rafting, check that you're using the correct WEP
[17:20] <Jack_Sparrow> rafting turn off security and see if you can connect.  SOme of the cards are marginally supported and will not do wep/wpa

[17:20] <rafting> how?
[17:20] <gaintsura> ne2k__: I've missed the last 6 minutes of conversation if you've said anything
[17:21] <egoflux> check the router settings
[17:21] <rafting> how do I turn of the security?
[17:21] <JustAnotherMark> egoflux: It's not the router. I can connect through windows and through Xubuntu.
[17:21] <Jack_Sparrow> rafting You did flood..  I know you are stressed, but take a breath and have some patience
[17:21] <JustAnotherMark> egoflux: Just not Ubuntu 8.10
[17:21] <dual> me2k_: I found it, but is there a way to remove all the background noise?
[17:21] <DiiPhantom> how do i mount an .ISO image in ubuntu?
[17:21] <gnutron> rafting: try here - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[17:22] <gaintsura> 'Screw patience... I'm going out to kill something'
[17:22] <egoflux> rafting, well that depends on the router you have

[17:22] <egoflux> rafting, are you at home?
[17:22] <DiiPhantom> thank you
[17:22] <jeaton> what's a good program that will allow me to covert avi and other formats over to dvd and burn them?

[17:25] <da_> What MP3 player works with Ubuntu?
[17:25] <tonyyarusso> fasta: "it depends" is always the answer.  Works fine on my Eee PC with ubuntu-eee tweaks (no idea if any of those affect hiberation).
[17:25] <joachimATjku> da_: amarok
[17:25] <DasEi> joachimATjku:you can either mount dev's manually or change fstab
[17:25] <da_> okay, ty
[17:25] <Jack_Sparrow> da_ almost any that are seen as a removeable drive..  aka.. the cheapies all seem to work

[17:26] <da_> okay ty
[17:26] <fasta> tonyyarusso: I thought all the shiny features would work on new hardware, but I just tried it and it didn't seem to go and hibernate. The screen went off, but the machine was still on.
[17:26] <DasEi>  da_: amarok, vlc
[17:26] <fasta> tonyyarusso: the machine should power down, right?
[17:26] <joachimATjku> how can i edit mount points in the gnome menu "Places"
[17:26] <tonyyarusso> fasta: yup
[17:26] <DiiPhantom> can i just burn it? :)
[17:26] <Jack_Sparrow> joachimATjku See what they told you above
[17:27] <fasta> tonyyarusso: is there anything that one should configure in the BIOS or whatever?
[17:27] <gaintsura> darkvertex: no it doesnot, the orange and green are swapped
[17:27] <DiiPhantom> i mean burn the .iso in linux?
[17:27] <Hikefu> joachimATjku, make bookmarks in nautilus
[17:27] <Jack_Sparrow> DiiPhantom right click iso and write to disk
[17:27] <tonyyarusso> fasta: not generally - check Launchpad and the forums for kernel bug reports for your model and see if anyone else has a reported a solution.
[17:27] <macjason0607> guys .. there a very easy to setup vnc server that dosen't require a lot of configureing ??
[17:27] <joachimATjku> Hikefu: id rather prefer a "menu entry" in the Computer section
[17:27] <da_> okay ty
[17:27] <fasta> tonyyarusso: yes, I already see there is a bug reported, and that guy even upgraded his BIOS.
[17:27] <DasEi> DiiPhantom: u can use k3b for that , amongst others
[17:28] <DiiPhantom> i mean not burn it as data, burn it so it can boot from it
[17:28] <DiiPhantom> ty DasEi

[17:28] <cody> Does anyone know a good software KM switch that works between Ubunto and Windows? Is there one?
[17:28] <Jack_Sparrow> scientes the repos will never have the current releases
[17:29] <Jack_Sparrow> cody KVM, I use a belkin
[17:29] <DasEi> cody : KM switch ?
[17:29] <joachimATjku> Hikefu: there are allready mount entrys in the Places menu under "Computer" ...want to know where they come from...i.e: where can i edit them
[17:29] <scientes> but it wal released over 3 months ago
[17:29] <Jack_Sparrow> joachimATjku and we said  FSTAB
[17:30] <Jack_Sparrow> scientes if you want to discuss it.. try in #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:30] <darkvertex> gaintsura: could borrow another crossover cable from someone? that would help, for comparison sake.
[17:30] <cody> Keyboard/Mouse only, Treats multiple computers as seperate monitors connected to one machine essentially. eg. you can move your mouse off the left side of the screen to another monitor with windows on it and use it there

[17:30] <joachimATjku> Jack_Sparrow:  /etc/fstab does not show these entries ....allready looked it up
[17:30] <Seveas> hi
[17:30] <zsquareplusc> cody: x2vnc/x2x/win2x is a software solultion if you have 2 mionitors but like only one kb and mouse
[17:30] <tonyyarusso> cody: synergy might do that
[17:30] <cody> zsquareplusc: I'll take a look, I'm just looking for a KM, not a KVM :)
[17:31] <fasta> tonyyarusso: how long does hibernation take on $newhardware?
[17:31] <Lancelot> vlc is having playback trouble, any ideas?
[17:31] <DasEi> Jack_Sparrow: I just reqd codys last post ,there's a soft-solution ??
[17:31] <ne2k__> darkvertex: tbh, almost all NIC these days are auto-negotiating, so it probably wouldn't matter if it was a straight cable. mii-tool is reporting there is a link anyway
[17:31] <fasta> tonyyarusso: Imagine 2GB of RAM being used.
[17:31] <tonyyarusso> fasta: depends on the speed of your hard drive

[17:32] <fasta> tonyyarusso: can I query that information somewhere?
[17:32] <DiiPhantom> im used to chat with webcam, does amsn have webcam support?
[17:32] <fasta> tonyyarusso: I didn't build this machine.
[17:32] <cody> Searching for Synergy KM pulled up a good list on wikipedia, Here's the link for anyone interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KM_software
[17:32] <afallenhope|work> DiiPhantom,  yes it does
[17:32] <DiiPhantom> how come i dont see it? where is it? :)
[17:32] <ne2k__> gaintsura: you have a weird problem
[17:32] <Jack_Sparrow> !info amsn
[17:33] <gaintsura> darkvertex: all I have is patch cables
[17:33] <ne2k__> gaintsura: the problem appears to be software related, as you say that tcpdump is reporting that no arp or icmp packets are being sent in or out
[17:33] <ne2k__> gaintsura: try running the tcpdump again and then try pinging from the other end
[17:34] <fasta> tonyyarusso: ok, how long does it take on your machine?
[17:34] <truent> anyone else have a problem in hardy heron with xbox 360 wired controller not working anymore?.. used to be supported by xpad.. now not so much it seems
[17:34] <tonyyarusso> fasta: lshw might tell you something about the drive.  For me it's probably like 10-15 seconds.
[17:34] <truent> or anyone know it works in ibex?
[17:34] <ne2k__> gaintsura: failing that, try "tcpdump -n -i eth0" to show all traffic going in and out
[17:34] <ne2k__> gaintsura: (not just arp and icmp)
[17:34] <ph8> can anyone tell me how i can install my own gnome-screensaver?
[17:34] <gaintsura> ne2k__: yes, I know its a weird problem, I had it working before but that was wifi to ethernet, this is ppp to ethernet, which I haven't tried before
[17:35] <gaintsura> ok, hold on ne2k__
[17:35] <afallenhope|work> has anyone had any success with a nVidia GeForce 7300GT for Dual Monitor (split)? perhaps compiz?
[17:35] <ne2k__> gaintsura: it seems that the internet connection sharing is not the issue. you just can't get from one machine to the other.
[17:35] <zimbres> in what directory a file will be generated for printing?
[17:35] <slayton> is there any reason to believe that a 64bit raid array would have problems if mounted under a 32bit os?
[17:36] <slayton> a raid array created under 64bit
[17:36] <ne2k__> slayton: what is a 32bit os?
[17:36] <tonyyarusso> slayton: I don't think so.  Filesystem *should* be the only issue.
[17:36] <Marky> Would anyone happen to have any sugestions for replacing the wireless network manager in Ubuntu 8.10? It needs to be something I can download and then transfer using a USB key
[17:36] <tdreyer1> is there any reason i cant (or shouldn't) install a program from source to my /home/me/whatever folder?
[17:37] <Jack_Sparrow> !aptoncd
[17:37] <slayton> ne2k__, 32bit vs 64bit os?   the standard OS is 32bit and the newer oses are 64bit
[17:37] <fasta> tonyyarusso: it's a WD3200AAKS-7 , but I cannot find the datasheet for it.
[17:37] <gaintsura> ne2k__: ok, now that tcp command is actually turning out information when I ping from the windows box
[17:37] <ne2k__> tdreyer1: you can quite happily install programs into your home directory. I used to do it all the time on shared PCs at college, so I could compile my own software and run it on any college PC
[17:38] <ne2k__> gaintsura: can you pastebin the output, please?
[17:38] <gaintsura> sure
[17:38] <tdreyer1> ne2k__: awesome, thanks!
[17:38] <sipior> tdreyer1: as long as you don't mind fetching updates for it manually, and assuming it does not have a truckload of library dependencies. it can be handy, especially for keeping multiple versions for testing purposes.
[17:39] <zimbres> in what directory a file will be generated for printing?
[17:39] <tdreyer1> sipior: thanks, good points
[17:39] <ne2k__> tdreyer1: basically every program that's half-way decent has a script called "configure" in the root of the source archive, and you should study the options to that to work out what you need to do. normally you can just set PREFIX=/home/me. if you need to compile against custom libraries, for example, you should change LIB_DIR (I think it's called that) to /home/me/lib/ etc.

[17:39] <SamuraiSW> does anyone know if firefox encrypts the saved passwords
[17:40] <karan> can someone help me here wid some proxy settings ??
[17:40] <gaintsura> ne2k__: <IP_ADDRESS> is linux, <IP_ADDRESS> is windows
[17:40] <tdreyer1> ne2k__: gotcha, thanks

[17:40] <slayton> if boot a 32bit liveCD what will I have to install to read a raid array created under 64bit ubuntu?
[17:40] <ne2k__> gaintsura: in both cases this is the tcpdump output from the linux box? you haven't run tcpdump on the windows machine?
[17:40] <afallenhope|work> has anyone had any success with a nVidia GeForce 7300GT for Dual Monitor (split)? perhaps compiz?
[17:40] <karan> help needed wid sum proxy settings ..
[17:41] <gaintsura> ne2k__: no, I have not run tcpdump from the windows machine
[17:41] <dominic_f> afternoon/morning.  Can anyone suggest a preferred wasy to do some outbound traffic shaping in 8.10?  I *assumed* i would use ipfw but this appears no longer to be part of the default repositories.  Is TC the way to go?
[17:41] <karan> neone ??
[17:41] <Ralesk> hi; does anyone know where I could look at ubuntu/debian package definitions?  kinda like the source rpms for fedora and opensuse.  I definitely do not mean a packaging tutorial, nor do I mean the installable binary packages.
[17:41] <gaintsura> karan: it may help if you spoke halfway proper english =)
[17:42] <Manther> Hey guys, I'm an Ubuntu newbie and need a bit of technical help...
[17:42] <karan> giantsura: sure ... thanks neways ...
[17:42] <dominic_f> karan - what help do you need?
[17:43] <roadfish> does any Ubuntu media players handle iPod videos?
[17:43] <joachimATjku> Anybody here who knows how i can edit the System default mount points under Gnome Menu => Places => Computer => WinPartition / DataPartition (want to add a new one)
[17:43] <Manther> Everytime I run the Update manager is says: E: 'dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[17:43] <Manther> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.'
[17:43] <ne2k__> gaintsura: well we can tell that linux is correctly sending out arp who-has messages, and that windows is responding. this proves the cable is good. linux, however, then appears to be ignoring that and not sending the ping. and from the other way round, linux does not appear to be responding to windows's arp who-has
[17:43] <afallenhope|work> roadfish, have you tried vlc
[17:43] <karan> giantsura : i'm stayin in a hostel ... so the servers would'nt let us log into orkut n other sites ...
[17:43] <gaintsura> ne2k__: how do I flush IPtables again? I think this could be part of that
[17:43] <gaintsura> karan: hidemyass.com
[17:43] <afallenhope|work> gaintsura, sudo iptables -F
[17:44] <gaintsura> thanks
[17:44] <Manther> Help? I tried running 'dpkg --configure -a' in a terminal but  it says I need superuser rights...how do I get that?
[17:44] <ne2k__> gaintsura: I'm pretty sure that linux has some sort of software situation that is stopping network traffic. try completely clearing all iptables rules in all tables
[17:44] <slayton> Does anybody know if the liveCD can mount Raid Arrays?
[17:44] <Hikefu> Manther, run the command in the terminal to correct the problem. Sudo dpkg --configure -a
[17:44] <ne2k__> afallenhope|work: does that clear all tables or just the filter table?
[17:44] <Hikefu> Manther, sudo I mean
[17:44] <afallenhope|work> ne2k__, it's to flush all the tables
[17:44] <karan> giantsura : i tried using proxy sites but it prompts that you are attemptin to open a url translation site ..
[17:45] <Manther> Hikefu: Ok I'll try it
[17:45] <Hikefu> Manther, sudo dpkg --configure -a will do the trick.
[17:45] <tonyyarusso> slayton: not without a bit of work, but it's technically possible.
[17:45] <karan> giantsura : can't i install some app maybe or change some settings of the web browser ?
[17:45] <roadfish> afallenhope: ok, I'll have to give vlc a try. I was debating downloading a large iPod video (on dial-up) ... I suppose that I should download something smaller from YouTube first. I tried a year ago but all I got from mplayer was some randomly-colored blocks.
[17:45] <slayton> tonyyarusso, what packages would I need to install?
[17:45] <ne2k__> afallenhope|work: the docs says it clears all chains in the selected table, and that without a -t option, it will select the filter table. so presumably it won't clear chains in the nat, mangle and raw tables
[17:46] <edju> dumb question of the month time -- is it possible to format an ipod fat32 under linux?  (ducks and hides).
[17:46] <ne2k__> I need to go home, so if I was helping you, sorry, I can no longer continue.
[17:46] <karan> giantsura : u there ?
[17:46] <knut> anybody know a good guide for installing global menu on 8.10?

[17:47] <dominic_f> anyone got a suggestion for the best  approach to traffic shaping outbound from an Intrepid install?
[17:48] <tonyyarusso> slayton: mdadm for sure, but beyond that I don't know.  try /msg ubottu raid
[17:48] <afallenhope|work> ne2k__, -F, --flush [chain]

[17:48] <tonyyarusso> olimpico: Check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes if you haven't already

[17:49] <Manther> Hikefu: Ahh, now it says that I have 'broken' an update or something like that and I need to use the 'broken filter'... :(
[17:49] <olimpico> The problem is that the network manager in gnome doesn't noticed

[17:50] <dominic_f> what help do you need karan?
[17:50] <olimpico> How do I tell the Network Manager in Gnome that the Wlan is working?

[17:57] <LjL> SamuraiSW: oh, there's also "shred" anyway, but not sure which package it's in. just type "shred" on your console.
[17:57] <Photoguy> How do I quickly switch between typed languages?
[17:57] <nei1> has anyone else had a problem updating fiesty? basically the fiesty directory at http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ has disappeared. Same problem with other mirrors.
[17:57] <karan> Hikefu , can u help me configure the switch proxy tool ?
[17:57] <dominic_f> karan - sounds to me like you're on someones private network (did you say hostel?).  If they don't want you to access certain sites then I'm not sure I feel comfortable helping you bypass it..... Sorry :-)
[17:57] <afallenhope|work> karan, it literally says: "The site U are TRYIN to acess is an url translation sit"

[17:58] <ardchoille> MrCollins: no
[17:58] <gaintsura> karan: maybe you should just deal with it and go down to the local library
[17:59] <balle_> does anyone know how to activate the wine virtual desktop?
[17:59] <DiiPhantom> anyone knows how to install xfire in ubuntu?
[17:59] <dp> I'm trying to use soundconvert.pl (from the soundconvert package) in 8.10, and it keeps telling me that these perl modules that are required are not installed, even though they are.  a friend on 8.04 doesn't have this problem.  can anyone help?
[17:59] <sysdoc> Hey guys I need to tweak how my box accesses a domain while the DNS propagates. In Windohs it is the host file what is the equivelent in Linux?

[18:01] <j0nr> when rebooting ubuntu, keyring thingy keeps wanting my old password to unlock network manager... why is this and how can i correct it, as sometimes i reboot remotely. Thanks
[18:01] <sipior> mudit: the -p switch for netstat will show that, though you'll need to have root privileges
[18:01] <edju> in order for amarok to recognize an ipod, is it necessary for the ipod to be formatted fat32, or will enabling HFSPLUS in the kernel do it?
[18:01] <mudit> tcp6       0      0 :::8080                 :::*                    LISTEN      6031/jsvc   ?
[18:01] <jimi_> hello
[18:02] <sipior> mudit: 6031 is the process id
[18:02] <gaintsura> karan: same idea.. there is privoxy/tor/vidalia for both windows/linux, and there are sites like hidemyass.com
[18:02] <karan> giantsura , proxy sites don't open ...
[18:02] <mudit> so what can be the package ?
[18:03] <jimi_> i've got a light problem with cron and ssmtp. Somebody can help me ?
[18:03] <j0nr> when rebooting ubuntu, keyring thingy keeps wanting my old password to unlock network manager... why is this and how can i correct it, as sometimes i reboot remotely. Thanks
[18:03] <sipior> mudit: once you have the process name, try searching for the package with dpkg -S <program name>
[18:04] <savant> What's a dvd-ripping utility similar to Apple's handbreak, on ubuntu?
[18:04] <savant> Preferrably gtk centric
[18:05] <balle_> how can i run my other partion (windows) in a virtual desktop under intrepid ipex?'
[18:05] <gaintsura> ne2k__: when I turn off firestarter, flush iptables and restart firestarter it fills the iptables with a ton of rules
[18:05] <balle_> how can i run my other partion (windows) in a virtual desktop under intrepid ipex? i'm using wine
[18:05] <sipior> savant: i believe the handbrake people just released a gui version of their tool for linux
[18:05] <sysdoc> balle_, vmware server...

[18:08] <BenAshton24> hi
[18:08] <dominic_f> second !Virtualbox
[18:08] <Xubu> Does anyone know how I debian from hard disk can install without CD?
[18:08] <sysdoc> balle_, booting the windohs partition really isn't a good idea. Better to create a VM of the Windohs install and then boot it the usual way
[18:09] <sipior> Xubu: the debian folks have tons of documentation on non-standard installs at their web site. best to start there, i think.
[18:09] <balle_> sysdoc: yea i know, it is to try to salvage my windows partition because it is a bit f'ed up
[18:10] <limecat> is there a way to have a folder shared between linux and windows, but with one subfolder different on each?
[18:10] <jonicache> yes lime cat
[18:11] <Xubu> Can you give me a link miss them if you want to supior Easter?
[18:11] <Arron> When you download a program and its in a .jar format how can you install that into the system like a .deb file rather than just running it directly?
[18:11] <sysdoc> balle_, then use the VMWare Converter to create the Vm of the Windohs install >> http://www.vmware.com/products/converter/
[18:12] <balle_> sysdoc: thx i think that will cover it greatly!
[18:12] <sysdoc> balle_, I just did this method and it worked great
[18:12] <sysdoc> Running XP in a VM as we speak
[18:12] <balle_> sysdoc: thx i'm trying it out now
[18:12] <Arron> Arron: When you download a program and its in a .jar format how can you install that into the system like a .deb file rather than just running it directly?
[18:13] <sysdoc> balle_, have any questions just pm me
[18:13] <Arron> Hello??
[18:13] <limecat> jonicache: how would i do it?  what im trying to do is have World of warcraft work on both vista and linux, but i need one settings file to be different, the settings are stored in a settings folder
[18:13] <balle_> sysdoc: great thx and is it free btw? i see the user registration
[18:13] <Arron> :-X
[18:13] <devcow> after updating von 8.04 to 8.10 my skype application crashes when i use the video feature. without it no problem. anybody an idea?
[18:14] <Arron> OMG HELLO REPLY REPLY REPLY!
[18:14] <Arron> When you download a program and its in a .jar format how can you install that into the system like a .deb file rather than just running it directly?V
[18:14] <sipior> Arron: can you find the exit on your own?
[18:14] <Arron> 1437 in the chat room and no one can respond?
[18:14] <sipior> limecat:
[18:14] <zsquareplusc> Arron: no one probably has an answer... well i don't have one. you can put it in /usr/local/bin and write a wrapper to start it.
[18:14] <sipior> Arron: no one knows the answer, or no one cares about your question.
[18:14] <Scunizi> limecat: most settings on linux for your install stuff are in hidden directories in your /home directory.. Open Places>Home and then ctrl+h to reveal the hidden directories.. they start with a period (.)..
[18:15] <Arron> Oh how kind :D
[18:15] <Arron> I dont really care about you but anyway I shall have a try
[18:15] <Arron> What is a wrapper
[18:15] <limecat> Scunizi: i know where the settings file is, its stored in WoWinstallfolder\wtf\account.wtf
[18:15] <zsquareplusc> !who | Arron
[18:15] <sipior> limecat: i don't see how you could do what you ask.
[18:15] <Arron> Oooh okay
[18:16] <Arron> Im new you see to Linux im a windows.com person
[18:16] <limecat> is there a way to make transparent folder links so that MOST of the subfolders are shared, but the main folder and the settings folder were stored on the linux drive?
[18:16] <sipior> limecat: both the exporting system and the remote, mounting system need to agree on the contents of a filesystem. you might be able to trick your linux install with symbolic links.
[18:16] <zsquareplusc> Arron: a wrapper would be a 2 line shell script with #!/bin/sh and java -jar your.jar  as contents. that in /usr/local/bin and you can run your program as a command
[18:16] <sysdoc> Arron, welcome to the real world, lol
[18:17] <mikethk> I just dl and extracted songbird but i dont know how to install it?
[18:17] <unop> Arron, you'll need to create a .deb package - see the Debian Package Maintainer's guide
