[12:01] <Lars_G> ehem. HELP :), I want to install the new libxine, but I tried a unstable deb and of course it failed on dependencies. trouble is, now if I do any apt-get it still wants to install it. and if I do apt-get -f install it will try to remove my current xine and all dependents (like amarok)... any way to make apt forget about libxine for now withotu removing my current one?
[12:01] <dcordes> LjL: ok. i will take a closer look on the shared key system. it is anyways important for me because i do a lot ssh for personal use

[12:10] <arron> ok
[12:10] <variant> arron: then remove and fglrx packages

[12:18] <aidan> anyone no what would be wrong if everytime i tryed to sign on to myspace it closed the browser
[12:18] <variant> Dimensions: you need to have a bootloader installed on the usb hdd
[12:19] <mon^rch> beryl is following vista's effects
[12:19] <Cretemonster> small question about changing permissions on a folder?
[12:19] <variant> aidan: probably a javascript bug in firefox.. try installing noscript firefox extension to disable javascript and then  browse to myspace
[12:19] <LjL> Cretemonster: yes?
[12:19] <Cretemonster> uduntu desktop 6.10
[12:19] <mcphail> jubuntu: not sure what happens if you attack /var/spool/cron/crontabs/your_user directly...
[12:19] <Dimensions> variant: i have this usb hdd cloned from another hdd which is full working system with RH installed
[12:19] <Fanskapet> Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0".
[12:19] <arron_> variant: sorry my computer crashed
[12:19] <Fanskapet> anyone know how to solve this?
[12:20] <Cretemonster> installed an application which has set permissions on a critical folder to root only
[12:20] <LjL> Cretemonster, yeah, but what's the question? :P
[12:20] <Fanskapet> i get that when i run fglrxinfo
[12:20] <variant> Dimensions: the cloneing software probably did not clone the master boot record
[12:20] <aidan> variant: how would i fixc it
[12:20] <Cretemonster> how to I change permissions on the folder from root to user?
[12:20] <LjL> Cretemonster: well, to begin with, if an application has done that, it might have had good reasons to do it, no?
[12:20] <Dimensions> variant:  i used dd command for cloning ...
[12:20] <LjL> Cretemonster: what folder is that anyway?
[12:20] <variant> aidan: do what i said first to see if that is indeed the problem.. if it is thesimplest thing to do would be update firefox
[12:20] <Cretemonster> its a default setting for the nepenthes software
[12:20] <arron_> varient: im gonna go to bed got school tommorow
[12:20] <aidan> ok tell me how to upodate it then mate
[12:20] <variant> Dimensions: did you include the mbr? it's the first few hundered bytes of the disk
[12:21] <variant> aidan: check if thats the problem first
[12:21] <Cretemonster> meaning I have to run nepenthes from the root account for the folder to aquire the files gathered
[12:21] <variant> aidan: firefox noscript extension
[12:21] <LjL> well Cretemonster, "chown" can change the owner of a file or folder, and "chmod" can change permissions. i guess you want "chown" here, though not knowing the details i cannot really be sure
[12:21] <variant> aidan: then browse to myspace (with scripts globaly disabled)
[12:21] <LjL> Ubotu, tell Cretemonster about permissions | Cretemonster, see the private message from Ubotu
[12:22] <variant> arron: sorry, didn't see htat
[12:22] <Dimensions> variant:  i did dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/sde which does bit by bit cloning, mbr should be copied too
[12:22] <variant> arron: ok, np. if you need more help drop me a mail mrintegrity at gmail dot com
[12:22] <variant> Dimensions: yep, should be
[12:22] <variant> Dimensions: dunno what oculd be the problem then. does grub load?
[12:23] <scrupul0us> hey all... im trying to setup a mailserver with squirrelmail on 6.10... ive looked @ flurdy (based on older OS) and googled... but i cant seem to get it working...
[12:23] <scrupul0us> i have php, apache, mysql phpmyadmin installed
[12:23] <aidan> variant: works now bro
[12:23] <_feh_> xa
[12:23] <variant> aidan: with noscript installed?
[12:23] <Cretemonster> To change or edit files that are owned by root, sudo must be used
[12:23] <aidan> yes
[12:24] <Cretemonster> OK got that part fine
[12:24] <variant> aidan: you should change firefox version then.. (thats not garuanted to fix it though)
[12:24] <Cretemonster> understanding the commands is where it all gets foggy
[12:24] <LjL> Cretemonster, yes, "sudo" is the command that allows you to work as root. if you need to change the *permissions* of a file that's owned by root, you need to use "sudo", too, for the same reason
[12:24] <Dimensions> variant: doesn't go further than first black screen which is of bios ...
[12:24] <variant> aidan: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[12:24] <aidan> ok
[12:24] <variant> Dimensions: does it output an error message?
[12:24] <aidan> well i got firefox 2 dl but i cant seem to install it
[12:24] <LjL> Cretemonster: well, a practical example: if i have a file named "test", that's owned by root, and i want it to be owned by ljl instead, i type "sudo chown ljl:ljl test"
[12:25] <aastaneh> Hi. I got a simple problem. My laptop's dsdt stinks, so I use acpi=off in kernel parameters. When I do this, however, my pcmcia card will not get detected. Any ideas?
[12:25] <aidan> variant: 5.10 lol
[12:25] <variant> aidan: I had this exact problem with older version of ubuntu
[12:25] <LjL> Cretemonster: that means "give the file 'test' owner 'ljl' and group 'ljl'" -- note that, by default, every user is created with a group of the same name attached
[12:25] <variant> aidan: i suggestyou upgrade to dapper
[12:25] <aidan> dont have it
[12:25] <Dimensions> variant:  its stuck on bios screen without any thing
[12:25] <variant> aidan: you can do it via the internet
[12:25] <aidan> cvcan i update with out format hd
[12:26] <variant> Dimensions: on the bios screen? do you mean the POST screen?
[12:26] <Cretemonster> still reading
[12:26] <LjL> Cretemonster: then if i want to make that 'test' file *only* readable, writable and executable by ljl, i type "chmod u=rwx test", which means "give the owning *u*ser *r*ead, *w*rite and e*x*ecute permissions"
[12:26] <LjL> Cretemonster: this time i did not need to use "sudo", because the file was now owned by myself, and not by root anymore, since i used chown earlier
[12:26] <aidan> variant: can i update without cd?? or burin it to a cd
[12:27] <variant> aidan: you don't need a cd
[12:27] <sixpointeight> how do i use the ubuntu disk to fix my system?
[12:27] <Hoosteen> argh! this wireless is frustrating...lol
[12:27] <Hoosteen> anybody care to help a bit again?
[12:27] <LjL> sixpointeight: depends. how's your system broken?
[12:27] <aidan> variant: can i update to drapper with all my program igot still installed
[12:27] <aidan> ?
[12:27] <variant> aidan: yes
[12:27] <scrupul0us> anyone
[12:27] <sixpointeight> the boot image is stuck in klamav quarantine.
[12:27] <LjL> Ubotu, tell aidan about upgrade | aidan, see the private message from Ubotu
[12:28] <Dimensions> variant:  well the first screen which loads from bios right ? on which u get info like press Del to enter bios setup
[12:28] <variant> aidan: first run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade then open /etc/apt/sources.list and change anything that says breezy to dapper. save and close then run apt-get update && apt-get dist upgrade
[12:28] <Hoosteen> here's the deal...i download the Broadcom 4318 drivers...i run sudo ndiswrapper -i /Desktop/bcmwl5.inf and i get the following
[12:28] <sixpointeight> and now grub says file moy found when i boot.
[12:29] <sixpointeight> *not
[12:29] <tom_> variant: no...
[12:29] <sivik> Hoosteen, have you tried using the actual firmware and not using ndiswrapper
[12:29] <variant> Dimensions: thats the post screen
[12:29] <tom_> !upgrade
[12:29] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[12:29] <Hoosteen> couldn't copy /Desktop/bcmwl5.inf at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper line 135.
[12:29] <LjL> sixpointeight: ah right, i remember that. well, i've never used klamav and have no idea what it does to quarantine things... but in general, you should boot from the live CD, then mount your HD filesystem ("sudo mount /media/hdwhatever", though it's possibly already mounted by default), and then you can work on it as root
[12:29] <variant> tom_: no what?
[12:29] <sivik> Hoosteen, i have it currenty working
[12:29] <Cretemonster> would it be possible to walk through this a step at a time
[12:29] <Hoosteen> no i haven't sivik
[12:29] <Cretemonster> with some one syllable words?
[12:29] <tom_> variant that upgrade method is dirty at best.
[12:29] <sivik> Hoosteen, you might want to do it, you using edgy?
[12:29] <sixpointeight> thanks.
[12:29] <Hoosteen> no..Dapper
[12:29] <tom_> !upgrade | aiden
[12:29] <ubotu> aiden: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[12:29] <variant> tom_: yeah mate, the way i sugest works just as well. doesn't cause any problems and is the simplest way to inform someone of what to do
[12:29] <sivik> Hoosteen, thats 2.6.15, right
[12:29] <enigm0> Hello again.
[12:30] <variant> tom_: name one problem that it causes
[12:30] <Hoosteen> well i'm running 2.6.1
[12:30] <rashed202> Guys.. for the alternate CD.. what's Install in OEM mode?
[12:30] <tom_> variant: it is not the simplest way, and it can cause problems.
[12:30] <aidan> variant do that in termail?
[12:30] <variant> aidan: yep
[12:30] <variant> tom_: name one
[12:30] <enigm0> Is it possible to make a program (lets say quod lidet) write files to an ntfs-partitioned disk?
[12:30] <variant> aidan: nano -w /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:30] <g333k_work> hi, how can I enable my network device? I tried with #ifconfig eth0 up,  but didnt work, any clue?
[12:30] <LjL> Cretemonster, just type "sudo chown -R yourusername:yourusername /path/to/the/affected/directory" -- i hope that said directory *should* actually be owned by you rather than by root, as you said
[12:30] <variant> aidan: ctrl o to save ctrl x to exit
[12:30] <tom_> variant: abandoned packages
[12:30] <Flamekebab> Evening everyone, should I ask here about MTP devices, or is there a more specific channel?
[12:30] <tom_> variant it says on the ubuntu website that method of upgrading is sketchy.
[12:30] <variant> tom_: please explain in more detail than that
[12:31] <tom_> so why tell people to use it?
[12:31] <variant> tom_: link?

[12:31] <sivik> jeremiah, format the parition
[12:31] <Flamekebab> lol unbuntu
[12:31] <LjL> jeremiah: just install another operating system in its place
[12:31] <Flamekebab> why do people always make that typo?
[12:31] <sivik> Hoosteen, sivik> download via apt-get the bcm43xx-fwcutter and then go to http://bu3sch.de/bcm43xx_fw.php
 and download the firmware v3. firmware, and then use bcm43xx-fwcutter to extract the firmware into the /lib/firmware file
[12:31] <mindstate> jeremiah, why would u want to :-)
[12:31] <Dimensions> yeah variant im talking abt post screen then ... as soon as it reaches to detecting drives it gets stuck
[12:31] <Cretemonster> sudo chown -R crete /var/lib/nepenthes
[12:31] <LjL> not always, they do "ubunto" too
[12:31] <Cretemonster> look close?
[12:31] <variant> aidan: don't worry about it, if your not comfertable on the command line you can use the more "reccomended" way (which tom_ insists is the only way)

[12:32] <sivik> jeremiah, you have to install windows first
[12:32] <mindstate> anyone know of any remote blog tools? i tried BloGTK but it wouldn't work
[12:32] <Hoosteen> sivik ok..i'll give that a shot
[12:32] <variant> tom_: sorry, wrong nick
[12:32] <Flamekebab> sivik, well I'd have to, I've got it on two laptops, will be three next week!
[12:32] <LjL> Cretemonster: make it crete:crete, not just crete... but, no, not really, nothing in /var/lib should be owner by a "standard" user i believe.
[12:32] <tom_> variant: i never said it was the only way, i said your way was not the recommended way. why would you tell people to use the upgrade method ubuntu says is not recommended?
[12:32] <sivik> Flamekebab, what do you mean you have to
[12:32] <jeremiah> i know but i messed up and installed ubuntu and dont know how to take it off
[12:32] <sivik> jeremiah, just do a reinstall
[12:32] <Cretemonster> hmmm
[12:32] <LjL> Cretemonster: so, may that directory ever contain any files that should not be read by other people? (passwords, whatever)
[12:32] <Flamekebab> sivik, I'd have to love it to use it on so many systems
[12:32] <enigm0> Hello everyone. Is it possible to make a program write a file on an ntfs-filesystem?
[12:33] <sivik> Flamekebab, like at work
[12:33] <mindstate> enigm0, ntfs-3g
[12:33] <Cretemonster> OK
[12:33] <LjL> enigm0: yes, it's not too safe though
[12:33] <rbs-tito> Does anyone know the dependencies for the nvidia script
[12:33] <sivik> enigm0, you can do it, but its not recommended
[12:33] <variant> tom_: the !upgrade links says nothing about being not recommended
[12:33] <Cretemonster> maybe this is futile as it starting to sound like the nepenthes install went crappy
[12:33] <Flamekebab> sivik, well, yes, but these laptops are my personal ones. I use it on several machines in my office too though
[12:33] <tom_> variant: "This is the simplest way for most users, especially if you are not an expert." that is referring to upgrading using Update Manager.
[12:33] <tylersmith> Hi. I wanto to share files between Dapper and XP. I've installed SAMBA. When I do a places>network servers I see an windows network icon, but when I click on it, I don't see any xp machines.
[12:33] <Cretemonster> it was an event that required I use sudo command for the install to take
[12:33] <LjL> Cretemonster: if it contains no sensitive files, then you can do  chmod -R a+rw /var/lib/nepenthes , this will make every file in that directory readable and writable by any user
[12:34] <variant> tom_: right.. and where does it say that it can cause problems to do it hte other way?
[12:34] <Cretemonster> there ya go
[12:34] <Cretemonster> thats what I need! (y)
[12:34] <tom_> variant: it does not clean up abandoned packages.
[12:34] <Cretemonster> Read and Write only
[12:34] <Flamekebab> Right, can anyone help me out with connecting an MTP samsung MP3 player to my system?
[12:34] <aidan> ok dont what what to do now
[12:34] <gnuwtey> hi, jrib?
[12:34] <gnuwtey> i tried your command
[12:34] <Cretemonster> the folder is used to gather files from a emulated server which poses multiple windows flaws
[12:34] <LjL> Cretemonster: that's a security risk, however, unless you know with *certainty* that there can *not* be *any* sensitive information in that directory
[12:34] <gnuwtey> but it still doesn't work
[12:34] <LjL> Cretemonster: "only"?
[12:34] <aidan> upto  gksudo "gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"
[12:34] <variant> tom_: thats very simple to fix
[12:35] <mindstate> anyone know of any remote blog tools?
[12:35] <aidan> comes up with heaps of text
[12:35] <variant> aidan: you need any more help?
[12:35] <aidan> variant yes
[12:35] <tom_> variant: or you could just use the recommended way and let the update manager script uninstall them.
[12:35] <gnuwtey> and also, the ubuntu disk returns an error
[12:35] <Cretemonster> this folder is where nepenthes dumps the files it was spammed
[12:35] <Cretemonster> thats all
[12:35] <variant> aidan: yeah, if you trust my judgement ( tom_ doesnt) you can just change anything that says breezy to dapper
[12:35] <gnuwtey> it says "couldn't find ext2 on /dev/hda2"
[12:35] <morrolan> mindstate - check out drivel
[12:35] <gnuwtey> oh sorry
[12:36] <gnuwtey> i've got to run out for a bit
[12:36] <mindstate> morrolan, thanks

[12:36] <Cretemonster> it contains hexdumps in a bin form and allows me to gather or collect those files into this folder which then automates a send sequence to various Antivirus vendors
[12:36] <variant> aidan: thats nothing..
[12:36] <variant> aidan: ignore that. it's a gnome minor bug that doesn't affect what your doing
[12:37] <aidan> ok
[12:37] <tom_> wouldn't happen using update manager......
[12:37] <aidan> so change breezy to dapper
[12:37] <variant> aidan: you won't be able to save the file unless you opened it with sudo/gksudo
[12:37] <sivik> aidan; and then dapper to edgy
[12:37] <mindstate> morrolan, do you think it being a dapper package will matter on Edgy?
[12:37] <aidan> would i want to update twice
[12:37] <variant> tom_: it has absolutly nothing to do with update manager or the way he is currently updateing
[12:37] <morrolan> mindstate - it shouldn't really make a difference, unless it depends on a deprecated package.
[12:37] <aidan> deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 5.10 _Breezy Badger_ - Release i386 (20051012)] / breezy main restricted
[12:38] <variant> aidan: dapper is the "long term support" version, only upgrade to edgy if you have a reason to
[12:38] <aidan> get rid of that'?
[12:38] <mindstate> morrolan, alright ill give it a whirl
[12:38] <variant> aidan: you can delete the cdrom lines yes
[12:38] <Cretemonster> thanks for ur time LjL
[12:38] <Cretemonster> I appreciate it
[12:38] <LjL> Cretemonster: no problem
[12:38] <variant> aidan: you will have a whole bunch of packages to download, could take several hours depending on your internet connection
[12:38] <aidan> should i update to edgy though? or better to update to dapper
[12:39] <Hoosteen> sivik: can u explain a little bit how i use apt-get to get bcm43xx-fwcutter?
[12:39] <Hoosteen> or anybody for that matter
[12:39] <LjL> Cretemonster: it does sound like something that's not very security sensitive, if i understood it correctly
[12:39] <variant> aidan: update to daper first, not safe to skip a version like that
[12:39] <sivik> Hoosteen, do you have universe and multiverse active in your sources.list
[12:39] <morrolan> Hoosteen - to install a package, you have to type:   sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter
[12:39] <mindstate> morrolan,  it does lol
[12:40] <tom_> aidan: dapper is more stable than edgy, it has about 4 1/2 years of support left. Edgy has less support and is using newer, more experimental packages. If stability is more important to you than cutting edge features, stick with Dapper.
[12:40] <Bakefy> Is MythTV awesome?

[12:40] <tom_> bakefy: check out freevo as well :D
[12:40] <aidan> i changed every word of breezy to dapper
[12:40] <sivik> Hoosteen, got it
[12:40] <Bakefy> variant, I am working on that part.  is it difficult to install?
[12:41] <variant> aidan: cool, run apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
[12:41] <sivik> aidan: sudo apt-get update, and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[12:41] <tom_> psyche.
[12:41] <sivik> Hoosteen, you get my pm?
[12:41] <Hoosteen> sivik: doesn't seem like u can respond though..unless u haven't yet :D

[12:42] <sivik> how do i set up chroot for blocking ppl on my website to get anywhere else on my computer
[12:42] <flint-dude> Later
[12:42] <tom_> sivik: you have to register you're nick to pm i think.
[12:42] <anon_> dear lovely people: a question
[12:42] <variant> sivik: try this: http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=04/05/24/1450203
[12:42] <aidan> so it will install with me not losing anythink on my harddrvie
[12:42] <Xerocide> Every time I try to run the defect check (or anything in the boot menu) it just restarts my computer, any suggestions?

[12:43] <Kiba-kun> Hi, I have a problem everytime I burn a CD
[12:43] <anon_> what's the best way to force xorg to use a USB mouse and ignore my built-in laptop touchpad?
[12:43] <Xerocide> I have checked the MD5 hash, and I have used 2 different burners to try and still the same result.
[12:43] <Beverage> hey folks, my x server died anyway i booted in with knoppix and now im trying to copy the files to a USB flash drive anyone know why it wont let me?
[12:43] <Xerocide> Could it be a problem with my copmuter?
[12:43] <aidan> and anyistalled programs / or will it reinstall over them the latest versions
[12:43] <Kiba-kun> Um...let me repeat myself if I wasn't heard
[12:43] <variant> anon_: you can edit xorg.conf to specify your exact mouse that you want to use instead of /dev/input/mice
[12:43] <Kiba-kun> I am having a problem with burning a Ubuntu CD
[12:43] <tom_> Beverage: is the flash drive mounted?
[12:43] <morrolan> Beverage - knoppix will mount your USB drive as read-only by default
[12:43] <Kiba-kun> I tried several time
[12:43] <knovak> I have a really stupid question: my friend is giving me a new Hard Drive tomorrow, and I want to free space on my current hard drive (my windows installation, I also have Ubuntu on a dual boot there)... so my Q: can I somehow transfer my entire installation to the new HDD?
[12:44] <aidan> any wont delete my codec's
[12:44] <variant> anon_: you would set /dev/input/mouse0 or soemthing instead. also take out the touchpad driver lines
[12:44] <variant> aidan: no, only updates what you have
[12:44] <aidan> ok sweet
[12:44] <variant> aidan: jupp
[12:44] <aidan> anmd will the look of 5.10 chagne?
[12:44] <Kiba-kun> but I alway got an error message like this 1718.871.xxxxxx Buffer I/O Error on device hdc, logical block x
[12:44] <variant> aidan: aa bit yes.. not to much
[12:44] <Kiba-kun> x stand for a number
[12:44] <aidan> ok sweet
[12:44] <tom_> aidan: well upgrading from breezy to dapper, you will need to install some newer gstreamer packages after.
[12:45] <Kiba-kun> can anybody see the reason why?
[12:45] <anon_> Kiba-kun: sounds like file-system corruption?
[12:45] <aidan> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[12:45] <aidan> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[12:45] <aidan> aidan@ubuntu:~$
[12:45] <Kiba-kun> hmm.I alway got this error on every Ubuntu CD I burn
[12:45] <variant> aidan: sudo the command remember
[12:46] <aidan> aw what is it easy as just getin them and typen in the cmd like i did
[12:46] <Kiba-kun> well.. Every CD that isn't RW
[12:46] <Kiba-kun> and RW don't work either

[12:47] <aidan> came up with same error
[12:47] <variant> aidan: and you got that error? is the graphical package manager open?
[12:47] <tom_> variant: can you suggest he follow the other method, seeing as he is having difficulties?
[12:47] <Kiba-kun> anything I am missing here?
[12:47] <variant> tom_: feel free to sugest it your self
[12:47] <Kiba-kun> I tried like three burning softwares so far
[12:47] <anon_> how do I figure out what device the USB mouse is registered as?
[12:48] <Kiba-kun> so far, nothing work
[12:48] <aidan> no it not open
[12:48] <variant> aidan: do sudo -i
[12:48] <variant> aidan: then run apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
[12:48] <grodius> hey im trying to uninstall vmware before i install the new version, how do I make sure its completely removed
[12:49] <d0dge-> variant: There's only 'Button title', 'Description' and location of the executable. Doesn't help if I put that on the command line arguments because it comes in front of the 'Eterm' command
[12:49] <LjL> grodius: if you installed the Server version via its own installer... you don't
[12:49] <variant> d0dge-: right click on the launcher and thats what you get?
[12:49] <LjL> grodius: just hope the uninstaller (if it came with one) did its work thoroughly
[12:49] <Kiba-kun> so nobody responding to my request for help. Perhap I didn't describe the problem quite clearly?
[12:49] <tom_> grodius: are you using vmware-player?
[12:49] <variant> d0dge-: you can always make a very simple script (just he command on one line) and have the executable reference that instead

[12:51] <ryanakca> what ports do I open in iptables to allow printing with samba?
[12:51] <variant> aidan: type dmesg please and pastebin the output

[12:58] <squeaks> variant, i just did "sudo ln -s 2.6.17-10-generic $(uname -r)", seems to have fixed the problem... but hardly seems like the correct kernel compilation procedure

[12:58] <tom_> k
[12:58] <aidan> tom im stuck
[12:59] <spacepod> QRZ:  currently i have two ide drives on seperate motherboard ide controllers. i've read a little on using dmraid however it seems a bit tricky. would i be better off using SATA drives?
[12:59] <sivik> aidan: what are you having problems with now
[12:59] <variant> squeaks: no, the kernel source is not "installed" by default so you have to extract it, cd to that directory, build the old config and then view the config
[12:59] <aidan> its said sertval new versions of ubuntu
[12:59] <chiarato> my net got slow what can I do???
[12:59] <variant> tom_: are you registerd with nickserve?
[12:59] <variant> tom_: you have to be to pm on this network
[12:59] <tom_> variant: please read this: http://pastebin.ca/336354 . It is a side note underneath the upgrade method involving manually editing the sources.list file.
[12:59] <chiarato> jrib: are you there bro!
[01:00] <QRZ> spacepod: I think you should be able to use your current ide drives.  Yes, dmraid can be a little tricky.  However, there are tutorials on the 'Net that explain it step by step.
[01:00] <AngryElf_> lirc
[01:00] <lskd-255> chiarato, how fast is it suppose to be?
[01:00] <variant> tom_: that has nothing to do with what I was asking aidan to do
[01:01] <QRZ> spacepod: I just built an Ubuntu server with 2 SATA II drives configured for RAID 1.  So far, working great!  :-)
[01:01] <variant> tom_: I was asking him to run dist-upgrade not upgrade
[01:01] <tom_> variant: it is possible aidan's system was corrupted following that method. Please stop suggesting it, not because I think its the best way, but because it's easier to mess somebody's system up.
[01:01] <aidan> n stuck with tom's way
[01:01] <spacepod> QRZ:  using 6.06 or 6.10?
[01:01] <tom_> variant: but still, it is easier to mess up a system following that method.
[01:01] <sivik> tom: i have ever had a problem with it
[01:01] <variant> tom_: considering that he hasent managed to actualy run it yet I find that hard to beleive
[01:01] <chiarato> lskd-255 good question it used to be fast!
[01:01] <QRZ> spacepod: Dapper.  6.06, I think.

[01:04] <lskd-255> chiarato, dsl or broadband?
[01:04] <variant> tom_: I don't take offence. what makes you think I have? anyway, aidan is now asking for your help.
[01:04] <pnm> dirk_: what's the wireless card? a usb ralink chipset, by any chance?
[01:04] <aidan> did the gksudo "update-manager"
[01:04] <QRZ> spacepod: The tutorial calls out SATA drives, but IDE should work fine.
[01:04] <spacepod> QRZ: cool deal. I'm attempting to setup a file server for our art department. was just going to use samba.
[01:04] <aidan> comes up with all these packages
[01:04] <chiarato> lskd-255: broadband
[01:04] <dirk_> atheros
[01:04] <variant> aidan: click to install
[01:04] <QRZ> spacepod: Sounds fun!
[01:05] <pnm> dirk_: hmm.. I had that exact problem once, with a ralink card. Turned out that for some bizarre reason the card'
[01:05] <tom_> aidan: you enabled the "Breezy-Updates" repository as the guide suggested?
[01:05] <aidan> ok
[01:05] <pnm> dirk_: was incompatible with a preempt kernel
[01:05] <aidan> ya
[01:05] <QRZ> My new Ubuntu server will be replacing an old Mandrake 9.0 server that has been online 24/7 for about 4 years now.
[01:05] <dirk_> well I've installed the new mad-wifi drivers
[01:06] <chiarato> lskd-255: it says download 4349kbps and up 305kbps??
[01:06] <tom_> aidan: if so, you should see a little tab at the top that says "new distribution available, dapper 6.06" something along those lines. you'll want to click upgrade.
[01:06] <lskd-255> ... that's not bad
[01:06] <dirk_> I've never had this problem with an atheros card before so I'm a little confused
[01:06] <Zenith2007> HI folks, any one got any ideas on the resolution query I posted please? Highest option is 800x600 and was hoping it to be 1024x768.
[01:06] <spacepod> QRZ: yea i've been running two 6.10 test machines for about a month now. In the future I was going to try and set it up to handle vpn connections as well. however i'm not sure if i want to add that kind of access directly to the server.
[01:06] <aidan> should i change that list back to breezy
[01:07] <chiarato> lskd-255: did you get that?
[01:07] <QRZ> spacepod: Well, that's the beauty of Linux.  Endless possibilities...
[01:07] <spacepod> also running xubuntu on the xbox :P
[01:07] <lskd-255> I've got 244.3 kbs
[01:07] <QRZ> spacepod: nice!  :-)
[01:08] <spacepod> yea much better than that ms stuff :)
[01:08] <tom_> aidan: i'm not sure it matters, but if it isn't working, don't change the sources.list file back to breezy, it can only mess things up more. you can't go backwards.
[01:08] <pnm> anyone know whether it's possible to extract a tar.gz archive in-place? I don't have space on my HD for the .tar.gz _and_ the extracted files

[01:09] <variant> tom_: fyi, he did not run apt-get update successfully as there is some other issue with the current installed system. therefore you can revert sources.list back to breezy with no risk
[01:09] <Zenith2007> great thanks, I'll give it a read through and see if I can sort it out, see you again soon no doubt. cheers.
[01:09] <lskd-255> chiarato, bandwidthplace clocks me: Communications 2 megabits per second  Storage 244.3 kilobytes per second  1MB file download 4.2 seconds  Subjective rating Great
[01:09] <chiarato> lskd-255: do you have any clue of what I can do to improve the speed of the browser cause' it was working fine yesterday?
[01:09] <variant> tom_: bailing out eh? ;)
[01:09] <aidan> whats the cmd line for the list
[01:09] <lskd-255> chiarato, is that firefox?
[01:10] <White_Lightning> !myself
[01:10] <variant> aidan: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about myself - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:10] <chiarato> lskd-255: yes
[01:10] <White_Lightning> hehe
[01:10] <chiarato> lskd-255: the only thing I can remember doing lately is installing flashplayer 9
[01:10] <aidan> variant is there a way to fix the stupid erroe while runnig the distro update
[01:11] <lskd-255> hmmm
[01:11] <variant> aidan: getting conflicting help from two different people is just as bad as bad advice from one person (if not worse) as tom_ seems to have gone afk, you can ask me for help or not
[01:11] <chiarato> lskd-255: after that the it got slow! where did you check your speed ??
[01:11] <variant> aidan: it's an odd error indeed
[01:11] <aidan> ill ask u for help
[01:11] <aidan> u seem to no what u are doin :P
[01:11] <lskd-255> chiarato, bandwidthplace clocks me: Communications 2 megabits per second  Storage 244.3 kilobytes per second  1MB file download 4.2 seconds  Subjective rating Great
[01:12] <variant> aidan: yeah well you can never know, tom_ is quite right about the update manager, it is the "reccomended" way..
[01:12] <aidan> meh
[01:12] <variant> aidan: I just don't see any real issues with using the manual way.. I have never had aproblem and neither have i met anyone who has
[01:12] <aidan> i have lol
[01:12] <aidan> :P
[01:12] <variant> aidan: :)
[01:13] <HighLife> Hey I can't eject the disc in my dvd drive for this reason   umount: /media/cdrom0: device is busy, How can I force this thing to eject?
[01:13] <chiarato> lskd-255: I did it again and it shows 5577kbps and upload 285kbps?
[01:13] <variant> aidan: your issue seems to be something else
[01:13] <aidan> ill log off and log back on
[01:13] <sivik> HighLife, that means you either have a terminal open to that folder or have a file manager open to that file
[01:13] <variant> aidan: so just to experiment type "sudo -i", enter your pass and then type "whoami" it should say root
[01:13] <sivik> HighLife, exit the folder, and then try the command again
[01:13] <mindstate> !mp32ogg
[01:13] <lskd-255> chiarato, that sounds good
[01:13] <ubotu> mp32ogg: Converts MP3 file to Ogg Vorbis. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.11-7 (edgy), package size 7 kB, installed size 64 kB
[01:13] <HighLife> Oh alright I guess I have to many desktops :P
[01:13] <sivik> HighLife, probabl
[01:13] <sivik> HighLife, maybe
[01:14] <pintas> hello, i am making a derivate of Ubuntu, can i distribute it freely without legal concerns?
[01:14] <pintas> :)
[01:14] <chiarato> lskd-255: I know but what confuses me is why takes so long to open up a page!!
[01:14] <aidan> yeah ok says that
[01:14] <lskd-255> chiarato, there is in firefox "about:config" which is the area for/to tweak
[01:14] <variant> aidan: and apt-get dist-upgrade works or not?
[01:14] <variant> aidan: sorry, apt-get update first
[01:15] <Kud|> Does Ubuntu come bundled with a Usenet program?
[01:15] <aidan> Reading package lists... Done
[01:15] <variant> aidan: great.. did it spam some stuff to the screen?
[01:15] <HighLife> Nope I checked all of my desktops and I don't have a single file browser or terminal open
[01:15] <HighLife> Closed them all and it still doesnt work
[01:15] <aidan> yeah stuff like this
[01:16] <aidan> Hit http://au.archive.ubuntu.com dapper-backports/restricted Packages
[01:16] <aidan> Hit http://au.archive.ubuntu.com dapper-backports/universe Packages
[01:16] <eXistenZ> why when formatting ext3 filesystem it takes about 2GB?
[01:16] <macd> eXistenZ, thats called filesystem overhead.
[01:16] <variant> HighLife: you can use fuser command to find out what is holding a driver open, or you can force eject it but thats not a good idea
[01:16] <chiarato> lskd-255: I opened that up but does not make any sense to me!!!
[01:16] <lskd-255> chiarato, in "about:config"   look for an entry about network pipelining
[01:16] <variant> aidan: cool, when that is finnished run apt-get dist-upgrade
[01:16] <eXistenZ> macd, Was ist das?
[01:17] <macd> eXistenZ, its called file system overhead.
[01:17] <aidan> variant
[01:17] <aidan> 889 upgraded, 136 newly installed, 37 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
[01:17] <aidan> Need to get 392MB/414MB of archives.
[01:17] <aidan> After unpacking 142MB of additional disk space will be used.
[01:17] <aidan> Do you want to continue [Y/n] ?
[01:17] <lskd-255> chiarato,  read this: http://forevergeek.com/open_source/make_firefox_faster.php
[01:17] <LjL> Ubotu, tell aidan about paste | aidan, see the private message from Ubotu
[01:17] <macd> go lookuo overhead, if you dont understand the contextual meaning.
[01:17] <variant> aidan: please don't spam like that
[01:17] <LjL> eXistenZ, the filesystem needs space to store its own information - the inodes in the case of ext3
[01:17] <variant> aidan: but that is good, press y to let it work
[01:17] <HighLife> how would I use fuser in this case?
[01:17] <eXistenZ> macd, How big is it? 3GB?
[01:17] <aidan> i no but i cant be botherd learn b\ut the gay paste bun
[01:18] <macd> eXistenZ, it depends on the total size of the partition.
[01:18] <eXistenZ> macd, about 35GB
[01:18] <macd> eXistenZ, so what do you want to know, the 3gb is the space the filesystem needs for its own data, journals, etc.
[01:18] <Bakefy> \h
[01:19] <LjL> yeah, forgot the journal for ext3 too i guess
[01:19] <variant> HighLife: fuser /path/to/mountpoint should do it iirc
[01:19] <Idempotence> i have dual monitor with xinerma enabled. the problem is that when i press screen-cap, i get half the screen transparent png and only screen 1 shows. where do i set that?
[01:20] <ugarit> any recommendations for enterprise level managed linux services?
[01:20] <ardchoille42> "The shell accepts human readable commands and translates them into something the kernel can read and process."  <-- So, is it safe to say the shell is a type of interpreter?
[01:20] <macd> ugarit, you want support?
[01:20] <lskd-255> chiarato,  did you get that?
[01:20] <macd> ardchoille42, the shell is exactly that.
[01:20] <Khem> ugarit: ubuntu
[01:20] <macd> Khem, more specifically cannonical.
[01:20] <ardchoille42> macd, Ah, thanks
[01:20] <variant> LjL: bah, you banned my user :) (not mine, but the one i was helping i mean :))
[01:21] <Khem> macd: yep thats right
[01:21] <ugarit> I mean an ISP
[01:21] <chiarato> lskd-255: I was reading the page you sent me how do change to true?
[01:21] <LjL> ardchoille42: a typical shell surely *is* an interpreter. for complex shells such as bash, that's even more apparent, since you can write full-blown programs using them
[01:21] <macd> ugarit, you need support for linux? someone to hold accountable commercially?
[01:21] <lskd-255> double click
[01:21] <ardchoille42> LjL, I see. :)
[01:21] <LjL> variant: sorry ;( he did quite ask for it though
[01:21] <variant> LjL: yeah kinda
[01:22] <chiarato> lskd-255: never mind double click duh!
[01:22] <mitrovarr> does anyone know where there's a good list of what the options on the kernel line in the menu.lst of grub do?
[01:22] <HighLife> Hmm when I do fuser /media/cdrom It gives me absolutly nothing
[01:22] <variant> LjL: tis np, was gettin a little tired anyway tbh :)
[01:22] <mitrovarr> I'm trying to adjust the framebuffer console settings so I don't get blackscreens on a nvidia 8800
[01:23] <DanZ> im having an issue when installing xubuntu-desktop, "the following packages have unmet dependencies:" "gamin: Conflicts: fam but 2.7.0-10ubuntu1 is not to be installed" "gimp-svg: depends: gimp (= 2.2.13=1ubuntu1) but 2.2.13-1ubuntu3 is to be installed."
[01:23] <lskd-255> chiarato,  don't do as it says  do a lesser number  30 sounds excessive
[01:23] <ardchoille42> "cat /etc/shells"  I had no idea we had all those shells in Ubuntu
[01:23] <eXistenZ> I have a partition to store mp3s, is it preferred to make it ext3 or ext2?
[01:23] <variant> ardchoille42: there are many more available
[01:23] <mcphail> eXistenZ: ext3
[01:24] <mitrovarr> in particular, does anyone know what vga=ext does?
[01:24] <ardchoille42> variant, Really?
[01:24] <chiarato> lskd-255: like what?
[01:24] <variant> ardchoille42: jupp
[01:24] <ugarit> macd: I need to run a SaaS business on the internet and need a place to hold my data, I need root access
[01:24] <eXistenZ> mcphail, why?
[01:24] <ardchoille42> variant, I think I'll stick with bash until I master it, lol
[01:24] <variant> ardchoille42: check the wikipedia article on bash, it should list alternative shells in a link at the bottom
[01:24] <mcphail> eXistenZ: much safer if your system crashes/power cut etc
[01:24] <ardchoille42> variant, I'll do that, thanks
[01:24] <lskd-255> chiarato I don't know, 8 maybe,  it's off by default so maybe even 4 is workiable
[01:24] <macd> ugarit, so you need a linux host, Id go with a dedicated priovider with managed hosting, rackspace isnt bad, Infolink is also good.
[01:25] <variant> ardchoille42: there are some real benefits to switching, but yes, learn what you like and stick to what you prefer the most :)
[01:25] <variant> ardchoille42: I tried a few shells but keep coming back to bash
[01:25] <Goldfisch> I have a VIA EN15000 motherboard system with VIA's chrome graphics device. Are people using unichrome or openchrome to load dapper?
[01:25] <ardchoille42> variant, I will try some others, just to see what I want :)
[01:25] <HighLife> What effects could force ejecting have?
[01:25] <variant> ardchoille42: try zsh.. it's quite popular i think
[01:25] <lskd-255> chiarato, do 30 and I can almost garauntee you'll be ignored
[01:26] <ardchoille42> variant, Yeah, I have friends who swear by zsh and its features.
[01:26] <ugarit> macd thanks
[01:26] <chiarato> lskd-255: l think so too I'll do 8 and see what happens :)
[01:26] <HighLife> I think I may have to resort to that, how would I do that?
[01:26] <the1337djs> Anyone here know a good linux alternative to something like VirtualDJ?
[01:27] <lskd-255> chiarato, happy surfing@@
[01:27] <lskd-255> chiarato, happy surfing!!
[01:27] <the1337djs> Anyone here know a good linux alternative to something like VirtualDJ?
[01:27] <variant> anyone tried tribal trouble on ubuntu? it's kinda fun (demo is anyway) a settlers clone i think
[01:27] <HighLife> No one knows how to force eject?
[01:28] <the1337djs> highlife: A disc?
[01:28] <White_Lightning> I've got an ATI vid card, and editing xorg.conf doesn't seem to give me anything as far as resolution is concerned. Is there a different file I can edit to force up the resolution?
[01:28] <variant> HighLife: yes i do
[01:28] <HighLife> how?
[01:28] <the1337djs> highlife: When you right click, click eject
[01:28] <Ricket> okay umm something just went wrong when i rebooted my ubuntu... every letter is now a box.
[01:28] <the1337djs> highlife: thats a force eject
[01:28] <chiarato> lskd-255: thanks bro I hope it works thanks again for the tip!!!
[01:28] <lskd-255> no problem
[01:28] <HighLife> No I get umount: /media/cdrom0: device is busy
[01:28] <HighLife> I need a better way
[01:29] <the1337djs> Highlife: Whats running?
[01:29] <variant> the1337djs: there is a hole in the front of the cddrive that you can shove a pin in, that will push the tray out. you have to push quite hard
[01:29] <White_Lightning> there's always the paperclip through the manual hole
[01:29] <White_Lightning> ah variant said it
[01:29] <the1337djs> variant: I didnt ask that question :P
[01:29] <mcphail> HighLife: what about "sudo umount -l /media/cdrom"
[01:29] <variant> HighLife: there is a hole in the front of the cddrive that you can shove a pin in, that will push the tray out. you have to push quite hard

[01:29] <Asc> I've got a question about acidrip - if I encode an uncompressed file and tell it to specify a file size of two-thirds the original, and the resulting file is one-third the size of the original, does that mean that it has been encoded losslessly or near-losslessly and the extra size wasn't necessary?
[01:29] <Asc> (just throwing that out there in the offchance that anybody knows)
[01:30] <the1337djs> Anyone know an alternative to virtual dj?
[01:30] <ardchoille42> So, if you run "sh test.sh", and the test.sh file is 644, it doesn't need to be executable to run it? So, why make a script +x ?
[01:30] <variant> Asc: lossless would be the same file size
[01:30] <White_Lightning> ok so anyone know how to force up my resolution?
[01:30] <bruenig> !fixres

[01:30] <variant> Asc: lossless is just a container format
[01:30] <Asc> variant: Unless the resulting file is compressed
[01:30] <White_Lightning> xorg.conf doesn't have any effect for some reason
[01:31] <variant> Asc: sort of
[01:31] <HighLife> Well I did sudo unmount and tryed to eject the cd and that did not work
[01:31] <HighLife> so now I'm going to try the pin
[01:31] <bruenig> HighLife, eject /dev/hd?
[01:31] <mcphail> HighLife: umount-l?
[01:31] <Asc> variant: Probably bad phrasing on my part.  By 'lossless' I mean that it hasn't undergone a noticeable/measurable reduction in quality.
[01:31] <White_Lightning> see that's what I tried
[01:31] <variant> the1337djs: you find one yet?
[01:31] <Redhammer_the_Ol> sorry short question I cannot write to my ipod anymore
[01:31] <White_Lightning> changing the values doesn't do anything with xorg.conf
[01:31] <White_Lightning> that's why I'm confused
[01:31] <HighLife> yes
[01:31] <bruenig> HighLife, or eject /media/cdrom0
[01:31] <the1337djs> variant: Dj alternative? No
[01:31] <White_Lightning> something else HAS to be controlling it
[01:31] <Redhammer_the_Ol> i have change NOTHING on my sysytem and it worked a couple of days ago
[01:32] <bruenig> !caps
[01:32] <Redhammer_the_Ol> if I look at /etc/mtab it says
[01:32] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[01:32] <Redhammer_the_Ol> sorry
[01:32] <Redhammer_the_Ol> it was only one word
[01:32] <variant> the1337djs: there is one in particular.. i am just tryuing to get hte name
[01:32] <HighLife> eject worked!
[01:32] <White_Lightning> it's a bot you don't have to apologize
[01:32] <the1337djs> variant: Ive had 2 suggestions, 1 had a bad script. I didnt know how to install the other one
[01:32] <the1337djs> variant: one was jokosher, other was mixxx
[01:32] <variant> the1337djs: ardour
[01:32] <Redhammer_the_Ol> thanks white lightning

[01:33] <White_Lightning> still funny

[01:33] <the1337djs> variant: It looks good :) ty
[01:33] <bruenig> that is harmless, you can do much better
[01:33] <variant> the1337djs: ah, it's not a virtual mixing deck but..
[01:33] <LjL> White_Lightning: well, actually, it was mildly funny the first time
[01:34] <bruenig> using it to take political shots is even funnier, but getting kicked kind of nullifies the enjoyment
[01:34] <variant> White_Lightning: the man command has a couple of good ones.. try "man woman" in a terminal
[01:34] <the1337djs> variant: can you walk me through installation
[01:34] <the1337djs> variant: I have no clue how to
[01:34] <White_Lightning> lol I love that one
[01:34] <White_Lightning> I just wish I could get my resolution higher
[01:34] <White_Lightning> I've got it at 1280x768
[01:35] <White_Lightning> but changing xorg doesn't give me any more options
[01:35] <Redhammer_the_Ol> any ideas on the ipod write issue ?
[01:35] <variant> the1337djs: here is the walk through: sudo apt-get install ardour-gtk
[01:35] <variant> the1337djs: :)
[01:35] <White_Lightning> even having only the single resolution listed and taking 1280x768 right OFF doesn't fix it
[01:35] <the1337djs> variant: lol. Thanks much
[01:35] <White_Lightning> I mean it should, theoretically, have only the one option for screen res right?
[01:35] <White_Lightning> so why doesn't it follow it?
[01:36] <White_Lightning> what's controlling it?
[01:36] <variant> White_Lightning: big brother
[01:36] <lskd-255> White_Lightning, what's the trouble?
[01:36] <lskd-255> I bet it's your 'system config'
[01:36] <White_Lightning> I wasnt to change my resolution from 1280x768 to 1.5 times that size
[01:36] <mindstate> anyone know of any remote blog tools? i've tried Drivel and BloGTK and neither work
[01:36] <White_Lightning> but xorg.conf doesn't have any sway over it for some reason
[01:36] <lskd-255> apps/systemtools/system configuration
[01:37] <White_Lightning> I'll look at that
[01:37] <lskd-255> rather config editor
[01:37] <nemo_play> Say, how would I go about acquiring a more recent ubuntu kernel than 2.6.18 as of, oh, December-ish

[01:38] <White_Lightning> I mean where's the app folder
[01:38] <lskd-255> apps/systemtools/config editor
[01:38] <speedracer_> hey all ... i'm really interested in installing beryl, but i'm not sure what I need.  I'm trying to read about Compiz, XGL, AIGLX and i'm not sure what I'm going to need to make beryl work  i have an integrated intel 845

[01:38] <the1337djs> variant: yes
[01:38] <the1337djs> variant: could not connect ot jack
[01:38] <Asc> nemo_play: google 'linux kernel archives'.  download, compile, and install.  Or you might be able to get whatever's in Feisty if you can find an apt-get god to tell you how.
[01:39] <nemo_play> Asc: that's the option I was more looking for.
[01:39] <nemo_play> been trying to avoid mucking with the distro more than I have to.
[01:39] <macd> mixing repos isnt a great idea ;)
[01:39] <lskd-255> gnome-panel applet............. you might need to access the system folder there with menu editor
[01:39] <nemo_play> Is my brother's laptop
[01:39] <variant> the1337djs: sorry, I don't know how to fix it
[01:39] <variant> the1337djs: will look into it
[01:39] <nemo_play> Asc: I'd like to stick with "stable" but just get a kernel with the patch in it
[01:39] <the1337djs> variant: okay, thanks. How did you know it was about jack?
[01:39] <nemo_play> Asc: hm. a backported patch would work too
[01:39] <nemo_play> Asc: ubuntu does those, right?
[01:39] <lskd-255> right click over applications and make the system tools folder visible
[01:40] <macd> nemo_play, compiling a new kernel is not that bad, since the kernel configuration files would stay the same, you wouldnt have todo the mundayne config.
[01:40] <Asc> nemo_play: If you mean the ubuntu patches, I don't know how to go about doing that.

[01:41] <White_Lightning> yeah but I can't find anything like that
[01:41] <White_Lightning> is there just a direct location of the file?
[01:41] <the1337djs> variant: says could not open lock file
[01:41] <lskd-255> configuration editor is a little program that is like the registry in winblows
[01:41] <sivik> the1337djs, thats probably cause your already using apt-get or synaptic
[01:42] <White_Lightning> but I can't get it to run
[01:42] <mabus> My acx chipset card will work on ubuntu desktop, but not on ubuntu server. The module is loaded but there is an error with the firmware. Can anyone give me an idea as to how to fix this?
[01:42] <lskd-255> White_Lightning, you might need to enable it with the menu editor
[01:42] <Flannel> White_Lightning: you need to install gconf to get configuration editor
[01:42] <the1337djs> sivik: no still comes up
[01:42] <lskd-255> right click on applications
[01:42] <sivik> the1337djs, hum
[01:43] <lskd-255> 'edit menus'
[01:43] <lskd-255> find system tools and find in that config editor
[01:43] <netsrot> how do I set root pass?
[01:43] <dwhsi1> 'evening - mplayer only plays audio, not video, of .wmv files... thoughts?
[01:43] <lskd-255> check mark that and close
[01:44] <jpass1> howdy
[01:44] <lskd-255> back to the app menu find it there and then find......
[01:44] <White_Lightning> ah there we go
[01:44] <lskd-255> .............. /desktop/gnome/screen/default/0/resolution
[01:44] <White_Lightning> so where was the res thing
[01:44] <variant> the1337djs: I have to go to bed now, check here for instructions though: www.ubuntustudio.com
[01:44] <jpass1> i was looking for some help. I'm relativly computer savy so I did spend time trying to find the answer
[01:44] <jpass1> but anyway....
[01:44] <jpass1> i'm trying to set up my ubuntu on my laptop
[01:44] <the1337djs> variant: thanks alot
[01:44] <jpass1> and set up for audio recording
[01:44] <jpass1> i've almost got it
[01:44] <lskd-255> see what that says
[01:45] <Asc> dwhsi1: you probably need the extra codecs - you can download them from the mplayer website.
[01:45] <White_Lightning> desktop/gnome I've got, but the onl S I have is sound
[01:45] <jpass1> but when i run audacity it does not allow me to choose my sound card so I think i saw that I had to install alsa oss emulation...
[01:45] <jpass1> so i did and then i read to launch audacity from the terminal....by doing aoss audacity
[01:46] <jpass1> and voila! my sound card is now listed ( i think) it says dev/dsp1 has been added to the list
[01:46] <jpass1> but when i hit record it immediatly crashses and says "killing hung audio thread"
[01:46] <CarCase928> hello, what is the command for deleting a directory? i forgot what it is.
[01:46] <White_Lightning> rmdir
[01:46] <high-freq> any ideas on gettin xchat to send/recieve via DCC....others can't send me nuttin for some reason
[01:46] <Asc> dwhsi1: It's also possible you could just install something called w32codecs, but I've not tried that without the mplayer extra codecs.
[01:46] <CarCase928> thank you
[01:46] <jpass1> so...i read that i need to ad my user to the audio group
[01:47] <jpass1> i did  ID in the terminal and a list came up and it noted (9)audio so I assume i'm already included in the audio group
[01:47] <jpass1> no?
[01:47] <netsrot> I wasn't asked about any root pass during install, am I suposed to set it after and how?
[01:47] <Flannel> netsrot: you don't.  Ubuntu doesn;t use the root account
[01:48] <Flannel> !sudo | netsrot
[01:48] <ubotu> netsrot: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[01:48] <netsrot> ok thanks
[01:48] <CarCase928> how do i share my internet connection without a router?
[01:49] <jpass1> why don't you hook your router to your internet connection?
[01:49] <jpass1> then plug your computer to your raouter?
[01:49] <CarCase928> i don't have one anymore, i bricked it
[01:49] <jpass1> the router?
[01:49] <CarCase928> yes
[01:49] <jpass1> i guess i don't understand the question
[01:50] <jpass1> you are trying to shrae your internet connection with a router?
[01:50] <jpass1> that you don't have?
[01:50] <lskd-255> CarCase928, do you have a modem attached?
[01:50] <lskd-255> or was the router a modem type
[01:51] <CarCase928> lskd-z55: yes, i have the modem plugged into the computer
[01:51] <jpass1> anyone use audacity with a second sound card on ubuntu?
[01:51] <CarCase928> lskd-255: yes, i do
[01:52] <jpass1> car, how did you get audacity to notice your sound card?
[01:52] <jpass1> well
[01:52] <jpass1> i have actually acheived that by doing aoss audacity in terminal
[01:52] <jpass1> then i can select dev/dsp1 now
[01:52] <lskd-255> CarCase928, I have no router and a modem,  I have no card either......... I took the cat5 out of the modem and had a usb plug adapter that ahd a cat5 connection on it..... linksys make those
[01:52] <jpass1> before it would use my sound card on the laptop which blows
[01:52] <NkZ> #Greetings: I just installed my HP PS1400, I wanted to know if there is any aplication that would let me configurate it (Cartridge management, clean up cartridges, alieate them)
[01:52] <jpass1> now atleast it lists my second sound card
[01:53] <jpass1> but when i change it in perferences then try to record
[01:53] <lskd-255> CarCase928, I often times type slow, sorry :\
[01:53] <jpass1> it immediatly crashes and says "killing hung audio thread"...."killed"
[01:53] <jpass1> so i read that i may need to include my user in the audio group
[01:53] <jpass1> so i found that you can type "id" in the terminal window
[01:53] <jpass1> and it comes up with a list
[01:53] <nexeus> is there any1 that can help me with mplayer Cline  use
[01:54] <nexeus> ?
[01:54] <jpass1> and it appears my user is part of the audio group but i can't tell for certain
[01:54] <jpass1> maybe that is what i need to ask
[01:54] <NkZ> #Greetings: I just installed my HP PS1400, I wanted to know if there is any aplication that would let me configurate it (Cartridge management, clean up cartridges, alieate them) Anyone knows?
[01:54] <jpass1> how do i determine if my user is part of the audio group?
[01:54] <White_Lightning> I can't find any screen or display settings anywhere in the configuration editor
[01:54] <dirk_> ok I'm back does anyone out there have an atheros wirless card?
[01:54] <dirk_> I can get a connection at home but not anywhere else
[01:54] <CarCase928> lskd-255: what i want to turn my computer into a router, i have a network hub, but that requires a computer with a shared internet connection to work. it is possible to chare the internet connection on windows with ICS (Internet Connection Sharing), but i want to know if i can do the same on ubuntu.
[01:54] <Zambezi> Have anyone here used a virutal installation of Windows on Ubuntu?
[01:55] <dirk_> not sure why, someone said it might be wpa
[01:55] <CarCase928> lskd-255: i want to
[01:55] <dirk_> any ideas?
[01:55] <nexeus> is there any1 that can help me with mplayer Comandline  option
[01:55] <jriffle> is "50276"  50 MB or 50 kilobytes? /dev/sda3                67745     13855     50276  22% /boot
[01:55] <jpass1> dirk, maybe the netowork you are trying to connect to is requires a key
[01:55] <jpass1> are you sure the network is open?
[01:55] <Rude-Boy> jpass1, I am a newbie too, but I located this thread via Google
[01:55] <lskd-255> yes, ubuntu can do anything windows does
[01:55] <Rude-Boy> http://audacityteam.org/forum/thread/2110
[01:56] <jpass1> if it works at home
[01:56] <Pici> jpass1: grep <user> /etc/group
[01:56] <dirk_> none of the networks I trie to connect to have any encryption
[01:56] <jpass1> pici THANKS!
[01:56] <jpass1> brb
[01:56] <lskd-255> <---  I need dinner
[01:56] <nemo_play> I agree with ubotu  I shouldn't have to compile one
[01:56] <Ricket> This should be an easy question for you Ubuntu users: how do I make a program automatically run in the background when I start up my computer?
[01:57] <nemo_play> I only need one tiny patch in the main branch, I don't want to have to worry about any module conflicts it will generate. I'd like it all to just work as a distro ought
[01:57] <CarCase928> lskd-255: if ubuntu can do anything that windows does, i guess it can share the internet connection
[01:57] <cablesm102> Ricket, what do you mean, the background?
[01:57] <jpass1> pici, so i see audio:x:29:jesse
[01:57] <jpass1> i'm assuming that means i'm setup for audio group
[01:57] <nemo_play> given gentoo and fedora are on 2.6.18 - surely that one must be available somewhere for ubuntu just by tweaking something in apt-get no?
[01:57] <Ricket> cablesm102: well ignore that part then. just, how do i make a program run when i start up the computer?
[01:57] <NkZ> I just installed my HP PS1400, I wanted to know if there is any aplication that would let me configurate it (Cartridge management, clean up cartridges, alieate them) Anyone knows?
[01:58] <jpass1> pici, do you use Audacity at all?
[01:58] <Pici> jpass1: no, sorry I dont
[01:58] <Rude-Boy> Ricket,  I followed directions for editing /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh  - adding the command line you want to execute near the botom before the very last line of code will make it run on startup, apparently
[01:58] <lskd-255> carcase,    sharing .......... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370
[01:58] <cablesm102> Ricket, go to System>Preferences>Sessions, go to the Startup Programs tab, hit Add, and type in the name of the program.
[01:58] <laserbeak43> hi
[01:58] <Rude-Boy> there you go, lol  i'm a noob
[01:58] <nexeus> ricket: conky is the word i think
[01:58] <Ricket> cablesm102: thanks
[01:58] <jpass1> my problem was that audacity was not recognizing my second soudn card. now when i figured i needed alsa oss emulation or soemthing....it now notices a second sound card...i think
[01:58] <Ricket> nexeus: conky??
[01:58] <laserbeak43> how do i edit a file in root mode on edubuntu without using comman propt?
[01:58] <nexeus> desktop applet
[01:58] <jpass1> does dev/dsp and dev/dsp1 mean two differnt sound cards?
[01:58] <laserbeak43> command prompt
[01:59] <Cryoniq> Anyone know a dictionary program working with gnome that can translate Romaji-English and the reversed?
[01:59] <cablesm102> laserbeak43, you need to make a "launcher" that runs the command "gksudo gedit"
[01:59] <laserbeak43> hmme
[01:59] <laserbeak43> how do i do that cablesm102?
[02:00] <Cryoniq> That is Japanese Romaji<->English...
[02:00] <jriffle> if i type df /boot and it shows /dev/sda3 =   67745     13855     50276  22% /boot is 50276 = 50 MB or 50 Kbyte ?
[02:00] <White_Lightning> while I look for the solution on my own here, does anyone know if there's a way to change the background color during the splash screen?
[02:00] <joselj> hi everybody
[02:00] <Ricket> Another question: how do I make Ubuntu's keyboard shortcuts manager recognize special keyboard keys? (I'm using a multimedia keyboard, with a log off button, and i want it to lock screen on press...)
[02:00] <cablesm102> laserbeak43, right click on the desktop and hit Create Launcher. Fill in the name (how 'bout "root gedit") and for the command, use gksudo gedit.
[02:01] <laserbeak43> cool thanks
[02:01] <cablesm102> laserbeak43, you can then drag it wherever you want, including panels
[02:01] <Cryoniq> Ricket: You checked if your keyboard is under System->Preferences->Keyboard? =)
[02:01] <joselj> does anyone know if there is program for ubuntu like locknote?
[02:01] <Cryoniq> Ricket: under gnome that is
[02:02] <laserbeak43> niiice
[02:02] <cablesm102> laserbeak43, I'm wrong... you have to right click on the panel and click Add To Panel and make a launcher that way if you want it to be on the panel.
[02:02] <Cryoniq> Ricket: there was a ton of keyboards listed in there to choose from when I looked at it last time. It didnt have Logitech G15 for me though, but I choose another multimedia logitech and super key etc started working for me then :)
[02:03] <laserbeak43> cablesm102 thanks a lot
[02:03] <laserbeak43> that is really nice
[02:03] <laserbeak43> :)
[02:03] <CarCase928> how do i install windows drivers on ubuntu?
[02:03] <Cryoniq> 0o
[02:03] <nexeus> I need help with mplayer any1 plz
[02:03] <cablesm102> CarCase928, you can do that for wireless, and that's about it.
[02:03] <Ricket> Cryoniq: any idea how to add keyboards? Mine isn't there, I'm not sure if any other keyboard has as many keys as this one :)
[02:03] <cablesm102> nexeus, why don't you tell us the problem?
[02:04] <nexeus> ok
[02:04] <nemo_play> Cryoniq: you should ask in #nihongo
[02:04] <nemo_play> er
[02:04] <CarCase928> thank you
[02:04] <nemo_play> #japanese
[02:04] <netsrot> when I use the package manager and try to remove all open office stuff I get error, isn't it possible to remove?
[02:04] <Cryoniq> thanks nemo_play :)
[02:04] <nemo_play> Cryoniq: but anyway, there's one for KDE and one for Gnome
[02:04] <nemo_play> Cryoniq: the Gnome one was written in ruby, the KDE one is called Kiten
[02:04] <NkZ> How can I use the HP PSC 1410 Scanner?
[02:04] <nexeus> cablesm102,  i try to player mkv vid on mplayer comand line
[02:05] <cablesm102> !ubuntu-desktop | netsrot
[02:05] <ubotu> netsrot: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading.
[02:05] <nemo_play> alright. given lack of familiarity with kernel updates here, guess I'll wander off. later y'all
[02:05] <joselj> does anyone know how can i add/modify  mime types?
[02:05] <Cryoniq> Ah.. I am learning japanese so now when I fully migrated to Linux I was thinking that such things must exist surely :P
[02:05] <cablesm102> nemo_play, what's the issue?
[02:05] <NkZ> How can I access any HP PSC 1410 manager to let me clean cartridges and align them?
[02:05] <nemo_play> Cryoniq: s/KDE/Qt s/Gnome/GTK/
[02:05] <nemo_play> cablesm102: would like a 2.6.18 kernel without having to build my own
[02:05] <cablesm102> NkZ, use a Windows computer
[02:05] <nemo_play> cablesm102: there's a USB flaw that was fixed last summer
[02:05] <LjL> nemo_play, no, a new kernel is not available as a package for Edgy. it is for Feisty
[02:06] <nexeus> cablesm102, I use mplayer -slang en *.mkv but font has gone super size lol
[02:06] <Cryoniq> Watashiwa sukoshi nihongo ga wakarimasu :)
[02:06] <cablesm102> nexeus, I don't know how to do it, I was just suggesting that you tell the problem to everyone else.
[02:06] <nemo_play> Cryoniq: you really should hang out in #japanese ;)
[02:06] <NkZ> Cablesm102 I rather cut off my genitals. :-P
[02:06] <Cryoniq> =)
[02:06] <nexeus> lol
[02:06] <LjL> nemo_play: there's absolutely no guarantees that the Feisty kernel will work on Edgy - actually, chances are it won't. see perhaps in #ubuntu+1 if someone has ever tried that
[02:06] <nemo_play> LjL: sooo, feisty is the Ubuntu-speek for unstable branch?
[02:06] <cablesm102> NkZ, I completely understand you... but you'll have to endure the pain.

[02:07] <boricua> anyone here used wink  not sure what file to send to share presentation
[02:07] <NkZ> Cablesm102 the "Scan" button will work? Or, is there any way to align the cartridges?   I think it is like a combo chip

[02:09] <nexeus> Im using mplayer -slang en filename.mkv in terminal for subtitle movie but the font has gone very large anyone know how to change it back to normal ?????
[02:09] <nemo_play> like XMMS only actually maintained
[02:09] <FantasticFoo> NkZ: i use that currently, just wondered if there was anything better
[02:09] <NkZ> I like XMMS
[02:09] <nemo_play> plus, is both in apt-get and they have official ubuntu packages now
[02:09] <gnuwtey> hi... i'm trying to mount an xfs hard drive onto ubuntu...help!
[02:09] <nemo_play> XMMS is ancient
[02:09] <LjL> nemo_play: hm, i see. well, i can positively say that there's no kernel package newer than 2.6.17 that's anywhere near guaranteed to work with Edgy, sorry
[02:09] <NkZ> Ancient Is good.
[02:10] <gnuwtey> oh, btw, i'm using dapper drake
[02:10] <nemo_play> LjL: Aight, so I'll tell him his choices are to have USB die randomly 'till April, or take a chance on unstable

[02:10] <thommarqu> Hello room, I am running Ubuntu Dapper and just did a port scan on my machine with nmap. It shows windows ports such as microsoft-ds port 445 and and netbios-ssn port 139. Any reason this could be happining??
[02:10] <St3althy> hey anyone here know what group NOBODY is apart of?
[02:11] <nemo_play> LjL: yeah, but that one would almost certainly kill his networking and video

[02:11] <Ricket> man there is just one, maybe two keys on my keyboard that aren't recognized... and they're the most useful lol: log off and sleep
[02:11] <LjL> nemo_play: well, just keep in mind that Feisty *is* unstable, meaning that it's quite possible for updates to break little things like X
[02:11] <alex777> my bios sees the new sata hdd, but ubuntu doesn't
[02:11] <Cryoniq> 0o there is a gnome mud client.. havent played MUD since.. ages..

[02:14] <Drewby> I need some help installing ubuntu on an Inspiron E1505
[02:14] <frogzoo> Yashiro: for ati, you have to use xgl with beryl
[02:14] <nexeus> Yashiro, no chance use xgl
[02:14] <nemo_play> LjL: one more thing, being new to ubuntu.  once Feisty is released, will auto-updating be possible, or will it require manual changes or a CD?
[02:14] <Drewby> ubotu: Hello, thank you.
[02:14] <bruenig> !thanks | Drewby
[02:14] <crimsun> cablesm102: and the output from ``cat /proc/asound/modules''
[02:14] <ubotu> Drewby: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)

[02:15] <frogzoo> ubotus is a bot?
[02:15] <bruenig> Drewby, little more specific on your help
[02:15] <LjL> nemo_play: there's an updater tool (changing the repos manually is not quite recommended... can be done, but sometimes it breaks things)
[02:15] <Drewby> ummm
[02:15] <Drewby> well
[02:15] <LjL> Ubotu, tell nemo_play about upgrade | nemo_play, see the private message from Ubotu

[02:17] <kazuka2> riotkittie: asl pls
[02:17] <FantasticFoo> nemo_play cool

[02:20] <DigitalNinja> is there a way to rip a dvd and keep the menu?
[02:20] <Yashiro> nexeus: i have fglrx 8.31.5
[02:20] <adamonline45>  I want to run a simple CGI counter on my server.  I'm using a chroot'ed 'jail', so only the directory /www and its subdirectories are seen by the http daemon.  Is there a way to compile a shell script so that it can be run in a standalone fashion, without having to duplicate my /dev, /bin, /sbin, etc. directories into /www/dev, /www/bin, /www/sbin, etc. directories?
[02:21] <mabus> My acx chipset card will work on ubuntu desktop, but not on ubuntu server. The module is loaded but there is an error with the firmware. Can anyone give me an idea as to how to fix this?
[02:21] <nexeus> Yashiro, use these up until u get only ati when doing flgrxinfo
[02:21] <dimeo> digitalninja  k9copy
[02:21] <Yashiro> nexeus: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3774/
[02:21] <dimeo> check the keep menu option
[02:22] <riotkittie> is it safe yet? <looks around>
[02:22] <dimeo> always is... if anyone steps outta line they get beaten with a fish
[02:22] <crimsun> cablesm102: does the following command help?  ``kill $(lsof -t /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/*) && sudo modprobe -r $(lsmod |grep ^snd|awk '{print $1}') && sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0 ac97_quirk=hp_only''
[02:23] <cablesm102> crimsun, before I run it, can I ask you what it does?
[02:23] <dimeo> wow thats a mouthfull crimsun
[02:23] <frogzoo> adamonline45: you just need the libraries: ldd `which bash`
[02:23] <high-freq> anyone know where to get the Indeo Video codec for xine or aviplay or mplayer or sumtin?
[02:23] <cablesm102> The problem isn't hardware, it's the fact that my volume control buttons control the wrong slider in the volume control.
[02:23] <dimeo> cable: reformats your system?!
[02:23] <nexeus> Yashiro,  how you lauch beryl
[02:23] <crimsun> cablesm102: kills all programs accessing the sound devices, unloads the sound drivers, and reloads the sound drivers with a specific headphone-only option.
[02:23] <Drewby> uuhh guys
[02:23] <DigitalNinja> dimeo: Yes! I've used that in the past.
[02:23] <Yashiro> nexeus: alt+F2 -> beryl-manager
[02:24] <Bottazzo> anyone know any software that make a way to put a video in wallpaper ? like windows vista system ?
[02:24] <dimeo> digital: first time I did I made the mistake of not checking the keep menus option.. duh
[02:24] <adamonline45> frogzoo: You mean, I _should_ just add the libraries into /www, so they can be seen by the daemon?
[02:24] <riotkittie> video in wallpaper? ew.
[02:24] <cablesm102> crimsun, that's not what I want to do. I just want to set the buttons to operate a different slider in Volume Control. However, I'll do it, provided its effect only lasts until I reboot it.
[02:24] <nexeus> Yashiro,  and you get what sort of prob with it
[02:24] <Yashiro> yup
[02:24] <Yashiro> it just don't start
[02:24] <Yashiro> i don't get splash screen
[02:24] <dimeo> I also learned that right clicking on a DVD to make an iso and burning that ... well it doesn't work that easy =)
[02:24] <crimsun> cablesm102: gnome 2.18 has that functionality.
[02:24] <Yashiro> if i force it, i get no window border
[02:25] <cablesm102> crimsun, is that in Edgy?
[02:25] <DigitalNinja> dimeo: Are the DVD movies bigger then a normal DVD (4.5gb)?
[02:25] <crimsun> cablesm102: no, in feisty.
[02:25] <cablesm102> crimsun, I mean Feisty
[02:25] <cablesm102> ah
[02:25] <cablesm102> thanks
[02:25] <dimeo> digital: can often be
[02:25] <crimsun> cablesm102: but your quirk is known for certain system IDs.
[02:25] <dimeo> you can try xdvdshrink
[02:25] <qos> hey guys
[02:25] <cablesm102> !hi | qos
[02:25] <ubotu> qos: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[02:25] <riotkittie> doh. i need to install herd 2 and update to 3.
[02:26] <frogzoo> adamonline45: well if it was me I wouldn't be running cgis from a bash script, but anywhere the linker will find them is fine
[02:26] <nexeus> Yashiro, did you get xgl run
[02:26] <dimeo> ubotu is showing favoritism?
[02:26] <jrib> Bottazzo: you could do mplayer -fs -rootwin ...
[02:26] <crimsun> riotkittie: waiting for 3 is preferred
[02:26] <DigitalNinja> dimeo: I think the last time I used k9copy I couldn't fit the menu on the 4.5GB DVD
[02:27] <Bottazzo> jrib, what this command do ?
[02:27] <riotkittie> waiting?
[02:27] <Yashiro> nexeus: when i used 6.06 it worked pretty fine
[02:27] <cablesm102> Does anyone else here think that the bootup time of Ubuntu seems long just because usplash doesn't move evenly? It should just use average times to move the bar after the first boot.
[02:27] <dimeo> digital:  you can backup the core part and drop the features... that can help sometime
[02:27] <jrib> Bottazzo: what you asked
[02:27] <qos> after my last update (beryl and libgtk was updated) beryl doesn't run anymore. firefox is absolutly slow and runs with 100% cpu capacity. does anyone know where to search the problem?
[02:27] <Drewby> bye all
[02:27] <Drewby> I'll contact you all later
[02:27] <adamonline45> frogzoo: I got five listings in response to that query.  Do you know what I should do with those? Install them, copy them? Which language would you recommend? I don't know perl; is C acceptable by your standards?
[02:27] <Drewby> When I can more precisely explain the problem.
[02:27] <riotkittie> bye Drewby
[02:28] <jrib> Bottazzo: you might need to stop nautilus from controlling the desktop though, not sure
[02:28] <Asc> cablesm102: could be.  I disable the splash and it seems to boot pretty quickly.
[02:28] <crimsun> cablesm102: that will fall over if any part of the boot process subsequently changes.
[02:28] <frogzoo> adamonline45: perl is good
[02:28] <Asc> cablesm102: Of course, I haven't used the splash since I worked how to disable it around 5.10
[02:28] <cablesm102> crimsun, maybe some sort of movement smoothing thing?
[02:28] <frogzoo> adamonline45: you need to copy the libraries across, easiest is so they have the same path within the chroot as where they came from
[02:28] <nexeus> Yashiro, r u using edgy
[02:29] <Yashiro> yup
[02:29] <crimsun> cablesm102: write a specification :)
[02:29] <sladen> cablesm102: could you file that as a recommendation
[02:29] <cablesm102> ha
[02:29] <Bottazzo> jrib, ow.. so complex =/ .. i ll forget this .. =[
[02:29] <Lam__> i have a small amount of files in hdb1, and i want to image them to hdd1 in a manner similar to RAID 1, but still be able to store other, extra files on hdd1. is that possible?
[02:30] <jrib> Bottazzo: well it's a neat gimmick.  Not really complex, just that command I gave you.  I think it's pointless though, but then again I never see my desktop :)
[02:30] <digitize> For some odd reason amarok completely broke after crashing, I can no longer run it. So naturally I proceded to reinstalling it, only to find a problem. In order to reinstall it, I have to remove kubuntu desktop as well, something I do not want to do just to fix amarok. Any suggestions as to fixing this are greatly appreciated.
[02:31] <cablesm102> digitize, do you have AAC files in your library?
[02:31] <riotkittie> digitize: are you getting any error message ?
[02:31] <mrpeenut24> hey i just recently installed ubuntu and am trying to get some drivers working (i've been using suse)
[02:31] <digitize> cablesm102: nope
[02:31] <frogzoo> digitize: run it from terminal & see where it craps out
[02:31] <digitize> frogzoo: nothing :(
[02:31] <crimsun> cablesm102: (awaiting feedback regarding above suggestion)
[02:31] <digitize> riotkittie: nope
[02:31] <frogzoo> digitize: k, strace amarok
[02:31] <cablesm102> digitize, delete the config files from wherever they are
[02:31] <cablesm102> crimsun, how do I do that? Launchpad?
[02:31] <nexeus> Yashiro,  u will have to check for the beryl forum for an answer
[02:32] <Bottazzo> jrib, yes but i m so noob in linux.. i need x server .. i cant live without it =P
[02:32] <crimsun> cablesm102: I'm referring to the sound issue.
[02:32] <adamonline45> frogzoo: alright, I can do that.  Are there security implications with using BASH scripts? All I want is something like "count=cat 'counter.txt'; count += 1; echo count > counter.txt"... I know, that's faulty, but it's the jist of it...
[02:32] <mrpeenut24> im having trouble configuring an elantech touchpad, and see that a couple others on the forums are as well, however there seem to be no answers
[02:32] <crimsun> cablesm102: and yes, via launchpad
[02:32] <codi> i'm running sudo chown user file in terminal and not getting an error, but it's having no effect
[02:32] <digitize> frogzoo: hey, i'm getting stuck on this...
[02:32] <Yashiro> nexeus: do you have the url?
[02:32] <jrib> Bottazzo: I don't understand
[02:32] <digitize> waitpid(15781, 0xbfca51f0, WNOHANG)     = 0

[02:32] <frogzoo> digitize: what is pid 15781 ?
[02:32] <cablesm102> crimsun, after this disables everything except headphones, how do I undo that.
[02:33] <Yashiro> nexeus: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=291464 <-- read this, i'm not the only one D:!
[02:33] <jrib> Bottazzo: if you want to try it out, I have some time and can guide you step by step in #ubuntu-classroom
[02:33] <Bottazzo> jrib, sorry, im brazilian.. i dont speak english so much..
[02:33] <jrib> Bottazzo: eu falo portugues tambem :)
[02:33] <cablesm102> crimsun, there should have been a ? after my previous message
[02:33] <crimsun> cablesm102: it shouldn't disable _everything except headphone_. It binds Headphones to Master.
[02:33] <Bottazzo> jrib,  auhaiuahuiaha
[02:33] <cablesm102> crimsun, thanks
[02:33] <digitize> frogzoo: it's not listed
[02:33] <cablesm102> crimsun, if it breaks stuff, what should I do?
[02:34] <cablesm102> I'm sorta scared :)
[02:34] <frogzoo> adamonline45: when it comes to security, I recommend nothing
[02:34] <crimsun> cablesm102: repeat the above command but remove the ac97_quirk parameter and value
[02:34] <Bottazzo> jrib, vamo naquela sala entao
[02:34] <adamonline45> frogzoo: understandable :)  perhaps a third-party counter will suffice...
[02:34] <codi> even chmod commands aren't having any effect, what does the little lock icon overtop of a file icon mean?
[02:35] <sivik> codi: what are you trying to do with it?
[02:35] <frogzoo> digitize: k, as someone suggested delete the .azureus folder/settings
[02:35] <codi> change the ownership and permissions, either or actually.
[02:35] <Josh_123> Hello, I was wondering if somebody could help me with my Boot problem. The problem (from what I have found by searching on the internet) is that the ide-generic driver is loading before the ata_piix driver which is required for my sata hard drive causing linux not to load. If somebody could point me in the right direction for reordering the drivers somehow, that would be great!
[02:35] <digitize> frogzoo and cablesm102 ty, i'll give del the conf a try
[02:36] <mrpeenut24> anyone else use an elantech touchpad with some success?  or can point me to some help?
[02:36] <crimsun> cablesm102: it shouldn't break anything. Your Dell is known to require it.
[02:36] <cablesm102> crimsun, thanks
[02:36] <codi> i need to change the group privaleges to allow write, or the ownership of the file
[02:36] <cablesm102> crimsun, how do i make it permanent?
[02:36] <frogzoo> !permissions | codi
[02:36] <ubotu> codi: The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[02:36] <crimsun> cablesm102: I'll take care of that part.
[02:36] <vote4arealclown> is there a firestarter like app for ubuntu?
[02:36] <crimsun> cablesm102: (for feisty)
[02:36] <codi> either should work, and i use terminal to do it, looks like it worked, but doesn't change the permission
[02:37] <frogzoo> vote4arealclown: yes, it's called firestarter
[02:37] <xhaan> chown <user>:<group> <filename>
[02:37] <vote4arealclown> lmao
[02:37] <cablesm102> !firestarter | vote4arealclown
[02:37] <ubotu> vote4arealclown: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[02:37] <codi> i know how to change permissions, i'm wondering why it's not having an effect
[02:37] <crimsun> cablesm102: echo "options snd-intel8x0 ac97_quirk=hp_only" |sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[02:37] <vote4arealclown> thanks dudes!
[02:37] <amonkey> when i right click on window titles, i can't see the "send to workspace x" or "move to right" or any of that fun stuff. how do i fix that?
[02:37] <frogzoo> codi: use ls -l to check the ownership of the file
[02:38] <cablesm102> crimsun, it broke sound entirely... how do I fix that?
[02:38] <cablesm102> crimsun, i haven't run the echo command yet. Do I need to do that now?
[02:38] <crimsun> cablesm102: are you sure it's broken? i.e., everything should be unmuted.
[02:38] <digitize> grrr, deleting the config files does nothing
[02:39] <Cryoniq> Hmm.. Im trying to get the Cairo-clock working, but it is just showing a solid white square.. could it be a side effect im using beryl?
[02:39] <crimsun> cablesm102: use alsamixer to unmute and increase the volumes
[02:39] <frogzoo> digitize: maybe reboot
[02:39] <cablesm102> crimsun, nothing will unmute. it says "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found
[02:39] <codi> ok, the ownership looks like it worked, but when i right click in gnome and choose properties, it still shows root as owner
[02:39] <codi> but the permissions are blank
[02:39] <digitize> frogzoo: yeah, i'll try that later, once i do and if still doesn't work i'll come back, ty
[02:39] <crimsun> cablesm102: no, use alsamixer in a Terminal.
[02:39] <cablesm102> crimsun, Alsamixer returns something about "No such device"

[02:42] <anon_> should there have been some arguments on that?
[02:42] <Kud|> I am having an issue with Beryl. I just installed the packages for Beryl via apt-get following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BerylOnEdgy My problem is that when I select Beryl as my Windows Manager, it does not change and leaves Fluxbox as my windows manager. I try the troubleshooting method given on that guide, but to no avail. Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this problem?
[02:43] <crimsun> cablesm102: ``lsmod |grep ^snd && dmesg |tail''
[02:43] <whonicca> question, how do i run checkgmail
[02:43] <cablesm102> crimsun, want a pastebin?
[02:43] <crimsun> cablesm102: yes

[02:44] <frogzoo> _feh_: or remove the 'request-domain-servers' in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
[02:45] <_feh_> frogzoo: thanks will do that too
[02:45] <dimeo> whonicca | in the applications menu
[02:45] <whonicca> dont see it there
[02:45] <Kud|> Anyone? :(
[02:45] <frogzoo> _feh_: it depends who's doing it - pppd or dhclient
[02:46] <_feh_> gotcha
[02:46] <_feh_> I can't tell
[02:46] <cablesm102> crimsun, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3778/

[02:46] <ziro01> hi
[02:47] <Kud|> ATI 9600xt, and yes the drivers are installed and properly working with direct rendering
[02:47] <mrpeenut24> does anyone know if there's an elantech config util either made or in the making?
[02:47] <junky> i just got a WMP54G, but i cant configure my wlan0, ive tried setting the ap and the essid, but still cant connect to my router, any hint?
[02:47] <dwhsi1> Asc: (way back when) thanks, tjhat did the trick (installing add'l codecs).  This made it real easy: http://ubuntu.flowconsult.at/en/mplayer-codec-update/
[02:47] <whonicca> dimeo, any idea why it isnt there?
[02:47] <junky> ive tried the network manager, and still unsuccessful.
[02:47] <whonicca> i used automatix2 to install

[02:48] <frogzoo> fixe__: to good to be true
[02:49] <frogzoo> Kud|: u using xgl ?
[02:49] <yhallothar> Hi.
[02:49] <cablesm102> crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3779/

[02:50] <yhallothar> I'm hunting for help using poweriso in ubuntu
[02:50] <yhallothar> :o
[02:50] <cablesm102> crimsun, i just heard a click
[02:50] <jt__> can someone answer me what are libs? (in  a program it says lib 5 and lib6)
[02:50] <cablesm102> and no output
[02:50] <cablesm102> that's a good sign
[02:50] <jt__> i have just installed ubuntu, first linux i ever use :p
[02:51] <crimsun> cablesm102: so test it now using a multimedia app and your volume keys
[02:51] <cablesm102> crimsun, headphone dissapeared... seems like a good thing
[02:51] <D0wN> yhallothar: is there even a native copy of poweriso for linux?
[02:51] <Kud|> frogzoo: Going to test something real quick, I'll tell you if it does anything in a min. :P
[02:51] <yhallothar> it's weird
[02:51] <yhallothar> well, then
[02:52] <yhallothar> I installed WINE as well
[02:52] <cablesm102> crimsun, it's working now. Thanks. Now can you tell me what to put in what file to make it stick?
[02:52] <yhallothar> but I don't know what the hell I'm doing to know if it's working or not.
[02:52] <all4n> hey, I want to move Ubuntu from one partition on one disk, to another, empty partition on another disk..  what is the best strategy?
[02:52] <crimsun> see the command I gave you at 37 minutes past the hour (15 mins ago)
[02:52] <D0wN> Is there a specific reason you want to use poweriso over a software that was written for linux?
[02:52] <bruenig> all4n, dd probably
[02:52] <frogzoo> all4n: cpio
[02:52] <crimsun> cablesm102: see the command I gave you at 37 minutes past the hour (15 mins ago)
[02:52] <`Shawn> all4n: Copy + Paste ;)
[02:53] <cablesm102> crimsun, is that one that will or won't break stuff?
[02:53] <frogzoo> `Shawn: wins!
[02:53] <`Shawn> frogzoo: lol :p
[02:53] <crimsun> cablesm102: if your sound currently works as intended with the volume hotkeys, it can't break anything.
[02:53] <yhallothar> link me to a linux written program that can convert .daa to .iso and/or burn .daa as a cd image and I'll be happy
[02:53] <yhallothar> I've been googling for alternatives but clearly my methods are only leading to failure
[02:53] <all4n> `Shawn, but how about grub..  do I just copy all of it over to the other partition, and re-setup grub?
[02:53] <cablesm102> crimsun, I can't find it... I don't have timestamps in this IRC client. Can you send it again?
[02:54] <all4n> and how about folders that can not be copied, such as /proc?
[02:54] <crimsun> cablesm102: echo "options snd-intel8x0 ac97_quirk=hp_only" |sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[02:54] <`Shawn> All4n: I dunno, I'd personally just uninstall ubuntu, and reinstall it again.
[02:54] <bruenig> `Shawn was obviously kidding
[02:54] <D0wN> yhallothar: I'm looking for one. One sec.
[02:54] <Quarupt> Excuse me can anyone tell me if there is a way to auto configure Xorg like when you first install Ubuntu? I can't get my settings right
[02:54] <yhallothar> Ok, thanks
[02:54] <cablesm102> crimsun, thanks. Then should I reboot to test it?
[02:54] <nalioth> !xcfg | Quarupt
[02:54] <ubotu> Quarupt: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[02:54] <crimsun> cablesm102: if it floats your boat.
[02:54] <cablesm102> crimsun, thanks
[02:55] <all4n> `Shawn, yeah, but I've set it up quite nicely, it would take a while to re-setup everything..  I've been compiling some programs and stuff
[02:55] <D0wN> yhallothar: There's a link to the linux version on the PowerISO download page. It's near the bottom
[02:55] <newbie41> help with (dpkg -b filename -deb) is that write because it wont work
[02:55] <`Shawn> All4n: Hmmm. Make a disk-image of it. Then install the image to the other disk, and deleate the first one?
[02:55] <yhallothar> I have that.
[02:55] <dimeo> my favorite gnome icon of the day:   gtodo    ---> easy to use, user friendly, handy dandy addition to the icon panel
[02:55] <jrib> newbie41: what are you trying to do?
[02:55] <D0wN> Did it not work?
[02:55] <Quarupt> nalioth, Yes I know I have seen this, that is not what I am asking about, I am talking about when you first install Ubuntu, what is it that autoconfigures X?
[02:56] <yhallothar> I don't get how to work it
[02:56] <D0wN> Okay
[02:56] <D0wN> one sec
[02:56] <yhallothar> I read the  man pages or help or whatever it's called now
[02:56] <all4n> `Shawn, not sure :)
[02:56] <yhallothar> this is my first time with linux
[02:56] <newbie41> jrib trying to make a package to install
[02:56] <jrib> newbie41: what are you trying to install?
[02:56] <yhallothar> we used an old version of unix in HS and that was three years ago and I just have no idea what to do
[02:57] <newbie41> aoldialer so i can get rid of this windows machine
[02:57] <DanZ> in the command line, whats the command to restart my computer
[02:57] <D0wN> I'm registering my nickname so I can PM you on how to do it
[02:57] <dimeo> yhallothar:   new to linux or just ubuntu?
[02:57] <yhallothar> both
[02:57] <bimberi> DanZ: sudo reboot
[02:57] <hajiki> hey guys how do i install kiba dock???
[02:57] <yhallothar> I've only had experience in HS with unix
[02:57] <d0s4gw> anyone feel like helping me get wireless with WPA working?
[02:58] <jrib> !dpkg | newbie41
[02:58] <ubotu> newbie41: dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.
[02:58] <dimeo> yhall:  click applications-->accessories--> terminal .... meet your new best friend :-D
[02:58] <yhallothar> and it looked a lot different and I really don't remember most of it
[02:58] <bimberi> !wpa
[02:58] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[02:58] <dimeo> don't let the $ scare you
[02:58] <newbie41> jrib aol dialer
[02:58] <yhallothar> dimeo, I'm already at that ;[
[02:58] <jrib> newbie41: Just double click on the .deb, or use  sudo dpkg -i file.deb   but be sure this deb works on this version of ubuntu
[02:58] <dimeo> you can do almost anything with a sentence or two
[02:58] <nalioth> Quarupt: if you visit fixvideoresolution it'll tell you the command
[02:58] <jt__> hello everyone, what should i do if i don't have an ati, nvidia, vodoo video card? i have an intel and i didn't activate the 3d acceleration, installed beryl and it worked, so it means my video card was already supported? because i installed a game for linux, and it doesn't open, and it says it needs that :S
[02:59] <mrpeenut24> k im also having trouble with my intel 3945abg pro/wireless card
[02:59] <dimeo> but don't worry.. like me you probably won't need to remember it all by heart.  I recommend saving favourite commands into a text document for easy reference
[02:59] <frogzoo> jt__: games won't run under beryl
[02:59] <Quarupt> nalioth, I told you I have been there it tells you to do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg which is a command to manually configure X, thats not what i am asking about
[02:59] <jt__> this is a integrated video card, not a wireless :p
[02:59] <ooglaboogla> I need to move the contents of /boot from /dev/sda3 (50MB) to /dev/sda2 (1 GB) can someone help me
[02:59] <frogzoo> jt__: switch to gnome
[02:59] <Asc> jt_: Beryl probably wouldn't work very well without hardware acceleration
[02:59] <jt__> ooh :(... thanks
[02:59] <newbie41> jrib it not a .deb file it was a .tar
[03:00] <Asc> jt_: Oh.  What frogzoo said.
[03:00] <jt__> thanks frogzoo
[03:00] <jrib> newbie41: then you can't use dpkg to install it, you need to probably compile it
[03:00] <ooglaboogla> I've made a /tmp/oldboot dir and /tmp/newboot dir and mounted the /dev/sda3 to /tmp/oldboot and /dev/sda2 to /tmp/newboot
[03:00] <dimeo> the up arrow is very handy to access commands used recently... kinda a 'history' in your browser
[03:00] <jt__> well, it works perfectly
[03:00] <jt__> the cube, everything
[03:00] <dimeo> $ sudo apt-get install
[03:00] <dimeo> very useful command
[03:00] <frogzoo> jt__: so 3d works
[03:00] <newbie41> jrib im trying to make a .deb file
[03:00] <ooglaboogla> i then copied everything from /tmp/oldboot to /tmp/newboot
[03:01] <yhallothar> Yo
[03:01] <nalioth> Quarupt: then i'm lost.
[03:01] <jt__> thanks frogzoo, will try the game without beryl :)
[03:01] <yhallothar> D0wN, you can't get queries from non-registered users?
[03:01] <yhallothar> if so I'll register
[03:01] <LiNk3r> good!
[03:01] <jrib> !compiling | newbie41
[03:01] <ubotu> newbie41: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[03:01] <ooglaboogla> but in /etc/fstab there is a UUID for /boot .... that's as far as i get
[03:01] <jrib> !checkinstall | newbie41
[03:01] <ubotu> newbie41: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[03:01] <jt__> oh, and libc 6 or 5? (also what is this)
[03:01] <LiNk3r> hellow!!!
[03:01] <mrpeenut24> my wireless card is showing up in device manager, but its not showing up in network-manager
[03:01] <Dante123> hi all.....newbie question here......how do I switch from a full screen application back to the desktop....when I did ctrl-alt backspace or delete it restarted x....or something....does anything like alt-esc or ctrl-tab do anything in ubuntu?
[03:01] <D0wN> Register your nickname. I'm trying to query you. =P
[03:01] <newbie41> jrib how do you compile?
[03:01] <yhallothar> Done.
[03:01] <cablesm102> crimsun, it worked. Thanks for helping!
[03:01] <dimeo> for example, my favourites list :   $sudo apt-get install cream gtodo	notecase streamtuner smbfs checkgmail brightside beagle
[03:01] <dimeo> goobox gstreamer0.8-lame  p7zip-full dvdrip k9copym  gddrescue
[03:02] <mrpeenut24> and network-manager is not showing up in the apps menu
[03:02] <LiNk3r> alguem fala portugues
[03:02] <Kud|> frogzoo: Beryl is still not wanting to load as the window manager. It just leaves Metacity as the default window manager.
[03:02] <crimsun> cablesm102: np, it's my job.
[03:02] <jrib> newbie41: read the links from ubotu, it isn't easy for a beginner so take your time
[03:02] <bimberi> Dante123: try ALT-TAB
[03:02] <jrib> !pt | LiNk3r
[03:02] <ubotu> LiNk3r: Por favor use #ubuntu-br  ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigada.
[03:02] <Dante123> espanol
[03:02] <LiNk3r> obrigado
[03:02] <dwid> i need help acessing my second hard drive
[03:02] <Quarupt> nalioth, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg lets you manually chose options like what driver, whats resolutions, your monitors vsync and things like this, I dont know what options to use here.. when you install Ubuntu it does all this automatically
[03:02] <jrib> dwid: what filesystem?
[03:02] <frogzoo> Kud|: soz, I use gnome
[03:02] <Dante123> I thought I did...but nothing happend......I was running a game in fullscreen and tried to switch back to desktop with it still running...
[03:03] <Gwanky> howdy
[03:03] <Gwanky> I need help running an executable file
[03:03] <dimeo> I can't imagine any MSoft OS that lets you install 14 programs with a cut and paste of a sentence
[03:03] <dwid> jrib: how do i tell what filesystem
[03:03] <Kud|> Anyone have any idea why XGL won't allow Beryl to load as the window manager instead of Metacity?
[03:03] <cablesm102> Gwanky, what's happening when you try to run it?
[03:03] <edo2035> hey... after a recent update, when i insert a cdrom, i do not have permission to copy files, even when using gksudo nautilus, any help?
[03:03] <Asc> Dante123: Funny thing, I've never heard of a way to minimize a full screen game.  It seems to take over the X server or something.
[03:03] <Dante123> I'll try again....but before I do is there any other keyboard shortcut for showing desktop again from fullscreen....
[03:03] <Gwanky> Basically I dont know how to use the command line
[03:03] <jrib> newbie41: I have good news for you, I've found a program called "penggy" in the repositories that lets you connect to aol
[03:03] <frogzoo> I have a wierd problem where oowriter opens up fullscreen (no title bar) and refuses to unfullscreen (from hotkey) - need a fix pls
[03:03] <Gwanky> Its a GBA emulator that I put on my desktop
[03:03] <jrib> !penggy | newbie41
[03:03] <ubotu> penggy: connects to AOL via modem or TCP/IP. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.1-13 (edgy), package size 71 kB, installed size 332 kB
[03:04] <cablesm102> Gwanky, is it compiled?
[03:04] <dimeo> gwanky... check out what I've just been saying.... =p
[03:04] <Gwanky> Dimeo:Sorry just joined 3 seconds ago
[03:04] <Gwanky> Cablesm102:I believe so it is a binary
[03:04] <Asc> Dante123: If you really want to, you can start a second X session with 'gdmflexisserver' and run the game in that, then switch between them with control-alt-F7 and control-alt-F8... but I doubt that's a very stable idea.
[03:04] <jrib> dwid: what did you format it as?
[03:04] <Gwanky> I just don't know what to type to run it
[03:04] <Dante123> i guess i will just put the game back to windowed screen
[03:04] <cablesm102> gwanky, you should just need to type the name of the EXE
[03:04] <dwid> i didnt format it
[03:05] <dimeo> gwanky... some executables just need a right click to make it executable
[03:05] <ooglaboogla> how do i generate a UUID for /dev/sda2 to put in /etc/fstab
[03:05] <cablesm102> gwanky, if it's a script, type "sh <path/name of exe>"
[03:05] <Gwanky> do I need to write down the directory?
[03:05] <jt__> for what is the kind of dos at ctrl + f1,f2,f3, etc?
[03:05] <jrib> !uuid | ooglaboogla
[03:05] <ubotu> ooglaboogla: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[03:05] <bimberi> Dante123: you can set up a shortcut (via System -> Prefs -> Keyboard Shortcuts) to minimize all windows
[03:05] <dwid> jrib: how do i go about formatting it on ubuntu
[03:05] <dimeo> right click-->properties-->permissions-->executable
[03:05] <jrib> dwid: you could use gparted
[03:05] <Dante123> ok...thanks......
[03:05] <jrib> dwid: there's no data on the disk that you want right?
[03:05] <cablesm102> gwanky, if you want to do it through GUI, just double-click the file. It should ask you if you want to run it. If that doesn't work, do what dimeo jsut said
[03:06] <dwid> jrib: nah no data i want
[03:06] <dwid> gparted is on the list of add remove programs?
[03:06] <Asc> bimberi: I don't think that works will fullscreen games, does it?
[03:06] <jrib> dwid: yeah, use gparted then.  ext3 is the default filesystem.  it should be in add/remvoe, if not, you can find it in system > admin > synaptic
[03:06] <dimeo> $sudo apt-get install gparted
[03:06] <ooglaboogla> jrib: thank you for the blkid info
[03:06] <bimberi> Dante123: the issue might be that the game is capturing these keystrokes and not passing them to the Window Manager
[03:06] <bimberi> Asc: not sure really
[03:07] <Gwanky> Can 4.10 make it into an executable with just a right click?
[03:07] <Dante123> ok....I think it is just easier for me to run it in a window.....
[03:07] <dimeo> you know theres an awesome gparted boot disk out there too... always handy to burn that and have it around in your toolbox of rescue Cd's
[03:07] <jrib> Gwanky: make what executable?
[03:07] <BHSPitMonkey> ok, problem.
[03:07] <Gwanky> Someone said that to make the file an exectuable I need to right click it
[03:07] <dimeo> jrib: porn.exe
[03:07] <Gwanky> sorry for being a newb
[03:07] <cablesm102> Gwanky, right click>properties>permissions>executable
[03:07] <LiNk3r> cc
[03:07] <LiNk3r> cc!
[03:08] <dimeo> gwanker:  never apologize for being nOOb.  you're the future of ubuntu
[03:08] <jrib> dimeo: looks like a virus
[03:08] <Gwanky> Cablesm102:All the executable things are checked off
[03:08] <cablesm102> gwanky, double click the file
