[06:11] <VousDeux> open-gl: I'm running from a live CD right now....you just need to make sure you system BIOS is set to boot from CD before local drive
[06:11] <VousDeux> open-gl: yes, restart the computer
[06:11] <nickrud> nbags: erm, also, you can't upgrade directly from dapper to feisty, you have to go through etch
[06:11] <nbags> nickrud, you mean edgy?
[06:12] <nickrud> nbags: slip of the tongue
[06:12] <overclucker> Virus, so yeah if you are unsure about your bios integrity, or just want to upgrade, go to the homesite of your computer/mobo manufacturer and download the bios flasher specific to your hardware
[06:12] <nbags> nickrud, yeah i figured thats why it didn't work. have i borked this system?
[06:12] <VousDeux> open-gl: another option besides resetting the boot order in the BIOS would be if your system has a boot menu
[06:12] <Virus> ok
[06:12] <jadacyrus> can i use k3b to burn .img files?
[06:12] <overclucker> Tornado, can't seem to connect to http://www.google.com/url?q=http://support.gateway.com/support/drivers/dlcenter.asp&sa=X&oi=smap&resnum=1&ct=result&cd=2&usg=AFQjCNFTqXXjlZ3b9mGzhKpw-pbFiad07Q
[06:12] <Virus> but if i do have a virus how would i get rid of it
[06:12] <nickrud> nbags: not necessarily; but most it wouldn't be easy to fix
[06:13] <VousDeux> open-gl: like on a Dell, I believe you can hit F12 to get a boot menu
[06:13] <nbags> nickrud, it broke while i was doing the dist-upgrade to feisty, so i've changed it to edgy and tried a dist-update there
[06:13] <overclucker> virus, by rewriting bios
[06:13] <Virus> ok
[06:13] <VousDeux> open-gl: depends on your system
[06:13] <overclucker> aka flashing it
[06:13] <m1ke> I have dual monitors, but my panel is spanning across both monitors. How do I make it only expand across one monitor.
[06:13] <open-gl> VousDeux - thanks for the help
[06:13] <nbags> nickrud, so i just fix each failure as it comes? how?
[06:13] <nickrud> nbags: worth trying, anyway .  You might be better off just backing up home, and doing a reinstall
[06:15] <VousDeux> !partition
[06:15] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[06:17] <VousDeux> it's been quite awhile since the last time I partitioned a disk for a fresh Linux install...I need to go figure out how many partions I need, and how big to make each one
[06:17] <ionstorm> i have a Pentium 4 hyperthread kernel, will i notice a performance boost with linux image 686 ?
[06:17] <ionstorm> or is generic better?
[06:17] <sauvin> VousDeux, I have one swap partition and one regular partition.
[06:17] <jay_> hi
[06:18] <nickrud> ionstorm: 686 doesn't exist anymore, generic and lowlatency are the desktop kernels now
[06:18] <overclucker> VousDeux, ubuntu | swap | /home | storage
[06:18] <m1ke> I have dual monitors, but my panel is spanning across both monitors. How do I make it only expand across one monitor.
[06:18] <VousDeux> what about /var?
[06:19] <sauvin> That's under the / partition for me.
[06:19] <nickrud> !generic | ionstorm I thought there was a pointer about why
[06:19] <ubotu> ionstorm I thought there was a pointer about why: Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed)
[06:19] <overclucker> -/home is more important to isolate
[06:19] <VousDeux> I like to keep logs seperate...wouldn't want a log to get flooded on my /
[06:20] <nickrud> I fell back to /home ; I have /home/www and the like
[06:20] <pav> can ubuntu access app from another partition?
[06:20] <ionstorm> thnx guys
[06:20] <slimjimflim> what's the best directory to install softare to from source?
[06:20] <VousDeux> pav: of course
[06:20] <sauvin> My /home isn't separated partly because I have three distros installed on this machine and don't want different distros fighting for the config files.
[06:20] <nickrud> slimjimflim: either under your home, or /usr/local
[06:20] <underdog5004> slimjimflim, I like /usr/local
[06:21] <VousDeux> slimjimflim: usually /usr/local/sbin
[06:21] <pav> vouseux: ok ty
[06:21] <slimjimflim> what's the difference, i always use home
[06:21] <evilofisho> Does anyone know of a memory editor for ubuntu/linux? I'm asking mostly out of curiosity.
[06:21] <nickrud> sauvin: I used to do that, and had a data partition. and then I soft linked in the Desktop, bin, and other common folders
[06:21] <overclucker> slimjimflim, permission, and fhs
[06:21] <sauvin> I've HAD people try to tell me to install stuff under /opt. I said "[DELETED] ".
[06:22] <VousDeux> slimjimflim: it's good to keep them organized for rights assigment purposes
[06:22] <mattva01> slimjimflim I use opt
[06:22] <underdog5004> sauvin, why? /opt is for optional packages, right?
[06:22] <VousDeux> slimjimflim: too hard to manage otherwise
[06:22] <sauvin> Yes, but it's not what I'm used to. I've never seen that done elsehwere.
[06:22] <overclucker> correct, but not four source
[06:22] <nickrud> I though opt was for outside binaries; vmware would fit nicely there
[06:22] <overclucker> sauvin FHS
[06:22] <Extravert> hello. Does anyone know the command to reduce latency or to make it 0?
[06:22] <sauvin> FHX?
[06:22] <sauvin> FHS?
[06:22] <CountX> anyone know where i can get some shotgun sound effects
[06:23] <overclucker> yah
[06:23] <slimjimflim> so would it be more secure to install to a dir with less permisions?
[06:23] <CountX> or just gun sound effects
[06:23] <jordan_> Extravert : Um, you cant just reduce latency with a command
[06:23] <evilofisho> CountX: http://www.flashkit.com/ ?
[06:23] <mattva01> I primarily  use /opt for web software without a recent package : ie schooltool
[06:23] <sauvin> Overclucker: what is it?
[06:23] <Extravert> jordan_: yes Iv seen someone make their ping 0 by using a command in the console
[06:23] <overclucker> sauvin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard
[06:23] <nickrud> slimjimflim: /usr/local is where someone who was maintaining your computer would look for locally compiled system apps; the file hierarchy standard place
[06:23] <Extravert> jordan_:  spoofing?
[06:23] <Gateway> hi gagin
[06:24] <jordan_> Extravert : But that is impossible, and probably fake
[06:24] <Azhi> hi
[06:24] <Azhi> how can i copy an entire folder with wget and get the hidden files AND not those ugly .listing files?
[06:24] <VousDeux> slimjimflim: if any of the programs need to be shared with others, or run system services, you wouldn't want to do that from /home
[06:24] <overclucker> sauvin, exelent reading (;
[06:24] <jordan_> Extravert : Yes probably spoofed
[06:24] <Extravert> jordan_:  yes I want to fake my ping
[06:24] <jordan_> Extravert : For what purpose
[06:24] <Gateway> overclucking: how to i overwrite bios
[06:24] <CountX> evilofisho, looks promissing thanks
[06:24] <sauvin> That's not very helpful :\
[06:24] <Extravert> jordan_:  not get kicked from servers =/
[06:24] <evilofisho> CountX: You're welcome.
[06:24] <mattva01> Gateway: boot from a floppy
[06:24] <Gateway> ok
[06:24] <jordan_> Extravert : In what?
[06:24] <Gateway> thanks
[06:25] <Extravert> jordan_:  ??
[06:25] <VousDeux> slimjimflim: it's much nice to just know that all of your executables are in the same place too
[06:25] <jordan_> Extravert : What program?
[06:25] <Extravert> jordan_:  does it matter?
[06:25] <mattva01> what type of motherboard , Gateway?
[06:25] <Gateway> ya
[06:25] <Gateway> can i use a cd matt
[06:25] <MTecknology> can anybody help me get my wireless working
[06:25] <MTecknology> lspci reveals an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG
[06:26] <jordan_> Extravert : Im sure that ping spoofing is program specific, because its application level not OS level
[06:26] <Extravert> jordan_: Tremulous
[06:26] <Azhi> guys
[06:26] <MTecknology> the restricted driver manager tells me the ipw3945 drive in enabled but ot in use
[06:26] <slimjimflim> Azhi, can you use wildcards?
[06:26] <mattva01> you can change it from pretty much anything, but dell for example makes its images for floppies
[06:27] <slimjimflim> ie *
[06:27] <Gateway> ok
[06:27] <mattva01> what are you trying to overwrite it with
[06:27] <mattva01> ?
[06:27] <Extravert> jordan_:  do you know the command ?
[06:27] <Gateway> my bios becuase i think i have a virus
[06:27] <Gateway> i was talking to overcluck about it
[06:27] <Azhi> i tried with -m -nH but it skipped the hidden files
[06:27] <overclucker> sauvin, http://www.pathname.com/fhs/
[06:28] <jordan_> Extravert : No in fact I do not, google is your best bet
[06:28] <Extravert> jordan_:  tried
[06:28] <mattva01> I would suspect it to be a bootsector virus rather then a bios one
[06:28] <sauvin> Overclucker: thank you!  Bookmarked.
[06:28] <Gateway> Matt can i use a cd to overwrite the Bios or do i have to use a floopy
[06:28] <overclucker> xD
[06:29] <mattva01> you can use either
[06:29] <Gateway> ok
[06:30] <mattva01> but you have to find the motherboard manufacturers homepage ,and get the BIOS for your model
[06:30] <Gateway> o
[06:30] <mattva01> otherwise bad things can happen :)
[06:30] <Gateway> does gateway make there own motherboards
[06:30] <slimjimflim> Azhi, maybe -xr
[06:31] <mattva01> no, but they should have info on their site
[06:31] <slimjimflim> to force directory grab and recursivity
[06:31] <VousDeux> Gateway would almost certainly have their own BIOS images
[06:31] <mattva01> yes
[06:31] <Gateway> ok
[06:32] <Azhi> no... i mean files like .htaccess
[06:32] <mattva01> check under "Drivers&support" or similar
[06:32] <Azhi> wget isn't getting them
[06:32] <open-gl> do i need the internet on when putting in the cd
[06:32] <KiphereCE> Ahoy.
[06:32] <KiphereCE> Wondering if anyone can help me with a semi odd install situation.
[06:32] <VousDeux> wget will only find linked files
[06:33] <overclucker> sauvin, these might interest you too: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment (;
[06:33] <slimjimflim> Azhi, this is for ftp, supposedly, but maybe..... --no-remove-listing
[06:33] <mattva01> KiphereCE, just state your question .
[06:33] <slimjimflim> nm
[06:33] <open-gl> i am still on this screen that shows only a peach color screen
[06:33] <KiphereCE> I downloaded the 'alternate' install for I believe 7.0.4, mounted the iso on my primary windows machine with daemon tools and shared it.
[06:34] <KiphereCE> can I actualy do the install over the network from a shared CD to another drive on another PC?
[06:34] <VousDeux> open-gl: no, Internet is not required
[06:34] <mattva01> not that way
[06:34] <KiphereCE> hrm, so I have to burn it?
[06:34] <mattva01> but there are many other ways to do it over a network
[06:34] <overclucker> open-gl, iv'e never heard that color described in a non-repulsive manner
[06:35] <VousDeux> open-gl: you should see a bar across the top and bottom...the one on top has the command menus
[06:35] <KiphereCE> problem I'm having is my burner is jacked up at the moment.
[06:35] <owen1> got DVD from Netflix. the folder contain many .vod files. how to watch it as one big video instead of running each .vod file?
[06:35] <sauvin> How closely does ubuntu adhere to debian guidelines?
[06:35] <overclucker> read
[06:35] <mattva01> very
[06:35] <slimjimflim> Azhi do you have a shell? can you rename the file you want?
[06:35] <overclucker> lol
[06:35] <KiphereCE> what are my other options? the only non windows OS install I've ever done was redhat and it was a few years ago.
[06:35] <Gateway> ok guys, well i will give all of that i try and hope i dont F*** up my system
[06:36] <mattva01> do you have a USB stick, KiphereCE
[06:36] <KiphereCE> I'm not linux/unix ignorant but I'm far from knowledgeable.
[06:36] <KiphereCE> no =\
[06:36] <Gateway> nixternal (you know better) lol , i will bbl sometime bye
[06:36] <mattva01> network installs can be a bit complicated , let me find a good guide.
[06:36] <Azhi> ok, so how can i get an entire folder without wget.... including hidden files inside?
[06:37] <KiphereCE> if I make a virtual CD on the PC I'm trying to install on, could I install on another partition?
[06:37] <Azhi> no, i don't have a shell on the remote one
[06:37] <evilofisho> Anyone know of a memory editor for ubuntu/linux?
[06:37] <sauvin> "memory editor"?
[06:37] <slimjimflim> do you have ftp access?
[06:37] <open-gl> ubuntu taking too long to load
[06:37] <m1ke> My dual monitors now take the panel and expand it across both.  Before it was only expand across one monitor.  Also when I used to maximize a window, it would expand max size of one monitor.  Now it expands max size across both.
[06:38] <mattva01> KiphereCE,the problem is that the normal method of installation has you booting from a CD, which is not possible with a virtual one.
[06:38] <KiphereCE> yeah
[06:38] <evilofisho> sauvin: Yeah, memory editor.. You know.. Read/write memory.. Sort of like artmoney, if you've heard of it.
[06:38] <sauvin> I haven't. Can you explain more?
[06:38] <slimjimflim> http://www.unixwiz.net/techtips/wget-dotfiles.html
[06:38] <r2r4> hello people i instsalled scim and start it.i can see the icon of scim on the panel,but i cannot input any Chinese.and ctrl+space doesn't work. the env is xfce4
[06:38] <slimjimflim> Azhi, see that?
[06:38] <KiphereCE> is there no executable type install for ubuntu?
[06:39] <sauvin> isn't there a winbu or winbutu or some damn thing?
[06:39] <mattva01> there is, but its not ideal
[06:39] <m1ke> My dual monitors now take the panel and expand it across both.  Before it was only expand across one monitor.  Also when I used to maximize a window, it would expand max size of one monitor.  Now it expands max size across both.
[06:39] <n-iCe`> Hi
[06:39] <mattva01> and its not supported
[06:39] <evilofisho> sauvin: Basically you have this program where you're able to search the memory for numbers/strings and edit those, it's really useful for debugging but I haven't seen one for ubuntu/linux that's userfriendly..
[06:39] <mattva01> wubi
[06:39] <sauvin> mattva01, yea, that's the one.
[06:39] <n-iCe`> How do I enable my wireless, is already configurated and detected it, but how do i enable it?
[06:40] <overclucker> evilofisho, and for forensics
[06:40] <evilofisho> Yep.

[06:40] <KiphereCE> well, the machine I'm installing on is basically my 'extra' PC. I want to set it up mostly as a network storage and media server.
[06:41] <jxxxt> Anyone able to tell me what to do about my ubuntu server (nz) refusing to connect. I need to update
[06:41] <n-iCe`> slimjimflim is wireless

[06:41] <KiphereCE> whats "not ideal" about the wubi or whatever you mentioned?
[06:41] <mattva01> KiphereCE, give me 2 minutes im looking through the wiki for the easiest way
[06:41] <Flannel> KiphereCE: That page (first link) has instructions on network install
[06:41] <slimjimflim> n-iCe` doesn't matter
[06:41] <n-iCe`> if or iw ?
[06:41] <slimjimflim> oh, you're right
[06:41] <slimjimflim> iwconfig
[06:41] <overclucker> evilofisho, *nix has those tools, i just forget what they are called, google linux forensics tools or somthin
[06:41] <n-iCe`> iwconfig eth0 up

[06:42] <zeroamie> hello...can help me with ubuntu
[06:42] <KiphereCE> Thanks for the help. Inflection is hard to express through text but I'm quite appreciative of your time.
[06:42] <Frogzoo> somehow my ntpd got uninstalled & had to reinstall it - kind of odd
[06:43] <CoasterMaster> zeroamie: just ask your question and someone will answer if they can help you
[06:43] <n-iCe`> slimjimflim is detecting the wireless
[06:43] <n-iCe`> i just want to select that conection to use
[06:43] <zeroamie> tq frend
[06:43] <shriphani> can someone tell me how to get smaller sized font in the virtual console? I added vga=791to menu.lst. No effect still.
[06:43] <nbags> i broke this system by upgrading dapper to feisty, instead of going dapper, edgy, feisty. so now i'm trying to dist-upgrade to edgy and it won't get past installing the package 'gnome-app-install'. can anyone help me?
[06:44] <Flannel> nbags: that'll definately break it.
[06:44] <zeroamie> vmware + ubuntu can mix together or not
[06:44] <nbags> Flannel, yeah i know. but we lost the cd, and someone told me its fixable
[06:44] <MTecknology> can anybody help me get my wireless working? It worked out of the box in 7.04 and I don't see any reason it shouldn't be recognized in 7.10. In fact, the restricted driver manager tells me the driver's installed and enabled, but not in use.
[06:44] <overclucker> nbags, get fiesty iso
[06:44] <CoasterMaster> !gusty | MTecknology
[06:44] <ubotu> MTecknology: It is spelt !guTSy :)
[06:44] <slimjimflim> n-iCe`   kwifimanager OR prismstumbler or something similar
[06:45] <Flannel> nbags: I wouldn't slog through trying to get to edgy, you're already quasi-messed up, just try for feisty.
[06:45] <slimjimflim> n-iCe` does your access point have a password?
[06:45] <n-iCe`> slimjimflim yes... i added all that info
[06:45] <slimjimflim> make sure you start with none,
[06:45] <slimjimflim> then try wep
[06:45] <n-iCe`> I just wanna use the wireless eth0 connetion, hoe
[06:45] <CoasterMaster> MTecknology, for gutsy support, check out #ubuntu+1
[06:45] <slimjimflim> then try psk or whatever else
[06:45] <n-iCe`> psk
[06:46] <n-iCe`> ?
[06:46] <MTecknology> CoasterMaster: i asked in there
[06:46] <slimjimflim> psk-2 i think
[06:46] <Zasch> Hello. I'm wondering: Is there a program or anything that will allow me to record sounds that my computer is generating and put them in an mp3 or something?
[06:46] <slimjimflim> just turn off the password and see if you get anything
[06:46] <n-iCe`> what's that
[06:46] <slimjimflim> if you can see the hostspot, that's proly the prolem
[06:46] <nbags> Flannel, yeah but some tool in this house is playing WOW and they don't have traffic shaping
[06:46] <andresj> zasch, I know that krec does that
[06:46] <jxxxt> Anyone able to tell me what to do about my ubuntu server (nz) refusing to connect. I need to update
[06:46] <overclucker> Zasch, audacity too
[06:46] <CountX> is there any reason desktop effects such as the cube effect should suddenly stop working?
[06:47] <girly90_4ever> jammaah
[06:47] <Zasch> Overclucker: I have audacity, but I don't know how to get it to do this specifically (nor do I know how to get it to export MP3s)
[06:47] <andresj> countx: bugs...
[06:47] <slimjimflim> jxxt, are you chatting from the server?
[06:47] <zeroamie> osx86 + wmware + ubuntu
[06:48] <CountX> andresj, i can get it to work if i turn the wobble effect off
[06:48] <CountX> wow
[06:48] <professorsnapper> jxxxt: if you don't get a response here, perhaps the forums might be of use.... sorry I can't offer more help
[06:48] <overclucker> Zasch, you need the lame encoder i believe, to export2mp3
[06:48] <andresj> CountX, you could try resetting the settings and restarting beryl...
[06:48] <slimjimflim> jxxxt, are you chatting from the server?
[06:48] <jxxxt> slimjimfin, I am chat on freednode yes
[06:48] <netdur> hi, can't start pidgin "libnm_glib_nm_state_cb" error
[06:48] <andresj> that worked for me several months ago, when I was in gentoo...
[06:49] <jxxxt> proffessorsnapper, thank you
[06:49] <slimjimflim> open a console, and type 'sudo apt-get update' then 'sudo apt-get upgrade'
[06:49] <sauvin> Exporting is one thing; how DO you capture sounds being made by the desktop or other sources?
[06:49] <CountX> andresj, how?
[06:49] <slimjimflim> that should take care of it
[06:49] <zeroamie> off topic : help   osx86+vmware+ubuntu
[06:49] <andresj> CountX, actually, I don't remember how to... try doing 'find ~ -name '*beryl*''
[06:49] <faileas> zeroamie: proper.sentances.
[06:49] <Azhi> another question: can i copy an entire folder with wget EXCEPT for some folders that i wonuldnt like to copy like tmp folders?
[06:49] <jxxxt> slimjimfin, I already did that and every hit got refused to connect
[06:50] <CountX> andresj, i dont have beryl installed
[06:50] <andresj> CountX, oh then compiz
[06:50] <tbeard> it's in the file menu then export to mp3
[06:50] <faileas> zeroamie: i wasn't aware OSX86 worked in vmware though
[06:50] <CountX> andresj, nothing
[06:50] <nbags> ok, if i download the minimal iso, and have a lot of packages i need here already (from another systems /var/cache/apt/archives/) how can i skip downloading those packages when installing the new system?
[06:50] <overclucker> i forget how to record the sound, but i believe you have to specify the mic input. . .
[06:50] <CountX> andresj, says thats not known
[06:50] <slimjimflim> Azhi, use the -X argument
[06:51] <faileas> or do you mean ubuntu on vmware on OSX86 zeroamie
[06:51] <bullgard4> How can I ascertain if my kernel hascompiled in Magic SysRq Keys?
[06:52] <andresj> CountX, oops its "find ~ -name '*compiz*'" (with '' around *compiz*)
[06:52] <nbags> bullgard4, zcat /proc/config.gz|grep SYSRQ
[06:52] <slimjimflim> jxxxt, make sure you type my name corectly, and you should check your firewall log to see if it's blocking your attempts
[06:52] <sauvin> I mean, most of the sounds being made by the KDE destop are stored in some directory somewhere; you just need to root around in the Control Center for it. I'd be interested in grabbing stuff coming in from a web site, for example.
[06:52] <vader1102> oh boy here goes the erm bans lol
[06:52] <Curs0r> doom3-demo has no sound?
[06:52] <nixternal> ya you are
[06:52] <professorsnapper> is anyone running Feisty on Mac OSX specifically with Parallels 2.5?
[06:52] <zeroamie> zeroamie: hi..i mean ubuntu
[06:52] <zeroamie> zeroamie: i mean ubuntu in osx86 using wmware
[06:52] <sauvin> Bite my shiny wetware [BEEP] !
[06:53] <Flannel> nbags: I don't see how that makes a difference
[06:53] <jxxxt> slimjimflim, It worked fine last week I apt-got a couple of programs sorry about name
[06:53] <bullgard4> nbags: "zcat /proc/config.gz | grep SYSRQ; zcat: /proc/config.gz: No such file or directory"
[06:53] <CountX> andresj, and how do i restart it
[06:54] <nbags> Flannel, well i don't want to download the whole iso, cause i have a lot of the packages already. how can i reinstall?
[06:54] <slimjimflim> jxxxt np just check your firewall log
[06:54] <jxxxt> slimjimflim, please tell me how to
[06:54] <andresj> CountX, you can disable and then enable Desktop Effects
[06:54] <Flannel> nbags: I didn't say download an iso, I said to bodge your way up to feisty
[06:54] <SuperLag> I had Wine installed and removed it, but an item still shows up on my System Tools menu. How do I get rid of it?
[06:55] <nbags> Flannel, oh sorry i missed that
[06:55] <nbags> Flannel, what should i do?
[06:55] <Flannel> SuperLag: 'complete removal'
[06:55] <danielmarsom> ubuntu is cool.
[06:55] <vader1102> SuperLag, I know there is a way of purging.... not sure of the command
[06:55] <CountX> danielmarsom, yes, yes ubuntu is cool
[06:55] <nickrud>  /me needs to find a definition of bodge
[06:55] <zeroamie> help me... wifi in ubuntu
[06:56] <danielmarsom> hehehe
[06:56] <Flannel> nbags: Uh, well, What errors do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade give you?
[06:56] <nbags> Flannel, ok, hang on it change it to feisty and apt-get update again
[06:56] <danielmarsom> im trying to put linux on an htc blue angel. ultimate hack.
[06:56] <slimjimflim> jxxxt, what firewall are you using?
[06:56] <danielmarsom> its been done, of course.
[06:57] <VousDeux> can anyone tell me how to get the xvncviewer going? I went into the Adept Manager and installed it, but it didn't put an icon on the menu. When I browsed to /usr/bin/xvncviewer and clicked it, it prompted me for an IP, but when I enter it, it does nothing.
[06:57] <dras> sounds like a server problkem then
[06:57] <dras> if youre accessing it over the internet make sure the port is forwarded
[06:58] <jxxxt> slimjimflim, I have no clue I did not install a firewall so maybe the default is "firestarter"
[06:58] <nbags> Flannel, well that looks like it'll work but it turns out i need 600MB downloaded anyway so we may as well get the iso
[06:58] <slimjimflim> jxxxt go to system > administration > firestarter
[06:58] <slimjimflim> if it's there
[06:59] <Flannel> nbags: ISO will be old, you'll have to download updates anyway.  You can get the mini ISO, and download those 600mb of updated packages while installing
[06:59] <carlomagno> I'm trying to install latest GTK+. While installing atk-1.19.6, I get an error message about the version of glib-2.0.: "*** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.12.13, but GLIB (2.12.11)
[06:59] <carlomagno> *** was found!
[06:59] <VousDeux> well, it worked from my 2k3 server...not sure what's up with that...had to connect to my Dad's computer...he needs some help
[06:59] <carlomagno> More details here: http://dpaste.com/19034/. Can anybody help?
[06:59] <professorsnapper> When doing a software update, I get a warning saying that the updates "can't be authenticated", and pose a possible security risk. Should I be concerned about this? How can I get authenticated updates for Feisty?
[06:59] <jayde_drag0n> has anyone here had experience with the pcsx and pcsx2 emulators (playstation and playstation2) i have a few questions if someone can assist
[06:59] <zeroamie> faileas: hi..i mean ubuntu

[07:00] <DShepherd> #ubuntu+1
[07:00] <Extravert> anyone know the command to make latency 0?
[07:00] <DShepherd> oops
[07:00] <faileas> zeroamie: no reason it shouldn't work
[07:00] <kostkon> professorsnapper, for which packages you get the warning?
[07:00] <christiano> e ae?
[07:00] <slimjimflim> ./set latency = 0
[07:00] <Extravert> really?
[07:00] <faileas> vmware is vmware, and i have sucessfully gotten 6.06 server and 7.04 desktop installs working
[07:00] <slimjimflim> no
[07:00] <Extravert> >_>
[07:01] <CountX> how do you un-install an application
[07:01] <slimjimflim> apt-get remove
[07:01] <zeroamie> faileas: tq
[07:01] <christiano> i need install firefox 2
[07:01] <professorsnapper> kostkon: about 50 of them - ranging from python 2.5 thru firefox, etc etc...
[07:01] <jayde_drag0n> CountX: sudo apt-get remove from terminal ALSO add/remove programs under applications and Synaptics package manager from System
[07:01] <slimjimflim> christiano `sudo apt-get install firefox`
[07:01] <n-iCe`> !wireless
[07:01] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[07:02] <faileas> zeroamie: you could also just download a VM from VMware i think ;p
[07:02] <zeroamie> faileas: wifi support in ubuntu
[07:02] <Gryphon_> alot of good info on wireless at http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/  as well
[07:02] <zeroamie> faileas:ok
[07:02] <faileas> zeroamie: hmm its compilicated
[07:02] <clouder> What do I do if kill -9 still doesn't kill a process?  Any other options other than rebooting?
[07:03] <slimjimflim> n-iCe` did you end up getting the password disabled?
[07:03] <vader1102> clouder, xkill
[07:03] <faileas> VMware does NOT use your PCI connection. USB wifi will work if compatable. i have never tried bridging in vmware on wireless so i donno if it will work
[07:03] <faileas> *PCI interface
[07:03] <open-gl1> i want to boot ubuntu as live cd. Right now i am on this screen that say ubuntu and has start or install ubuntu etc etc. I press F6 and it says boot options and I have to boot as a live cd what do i type
[07:03] <n-iCe`> slimjimflim isnt that look, DHCPDISCOVER what's that?
[07:04] <zeroamie> faileas: i using a laptop
[07:04] <CoasterMaster> open-gli: just choose Start or Install ubuntu (the first option)
[07:04] <n-iCe`> NO DHCPOFFERS RECIVIED
[07:04] <clouder> vader1102: it's not a clickable window it's wine-pthread
[07:04] <christiano> dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[07:04] <vader1102> sorry then clouder I tried
[07:04] <slimjimflim> open-gl1, 'start or install' is the same option...both are live-cd
[07:04] <faileas> zeroamie: yeah. i know a USB adaptor will work, directly. i donno about using bridging and wifi
[07:04] <clouder> np, thanks anyways
[07:05] <faileas> i was gonna test it later actually, once i get my vmware dedicated laptop up ;p
[07:05] <vader1102> night follks 1 am here....... time for this "old" guy to get some sleep
[07:05] <open-gl1> ok got it
[07:05] <slimjimflim> n-iCe` dunno
[07:05] <jxxxt> slimjimflim, I have no firewall log per se and the other logs give me no idea of what is happening. auth.log tells that I used the commands but gave no outcomes
[07:05] <zeroamie> faileas: yes right now.. using usb dlink dwl122
[07:05] <christiano> brasilians?
[07:06] <christiano> portuguese?
[07:06] <zeroamie> faileas: tq:>
[07:06] <slimjimflim> jxxxt, so firestarter was there or no?
[07:06] <CountX> i cant seem to uninstall vmware
[07:06] <faileas> zeroamie: no problem ;)
[07:06] <jxxxt> slimjimflim, No
[07:06] <CountX> is there an easy way to remove everything vmware related
[07:07] <kostkon> professorsnapper, strange. If you go to "System -> Adiminstration -> Software Sources" and see at the "Authentication" tab if you have the key for the ubuntu repositories
[07:07] <faileas> CountX: no idea. how did you install it? using the script @ vmware.com?
[07:07] <zeroamie> faileas: i try download ubuntu.. going tryit first..
[07:07] <slimjimflim> jxxxt, have you tried: system > administration > 'update manager'
[07:08] <CountX> faileas, no someone else on this computer did
[07:08] <Bakefy> is there a VNC server already set up with ubuntu.
[07:08] <faileas> CountX: well, if you don't know how it was installed, you wouldn't know how to uninstall it?
[07:08] <jxxxt> slimjimflim, I get the same result as terminal connection refused
[07:08] <mikehansl1l> anyone know what type of encryption nis wrapper can handle?
[07:08] <owen1> how to play DVD from netflix?
[07:09] <CountX> faileas, thats kinda flawed, what now i just wipe this computer?
[07:09] <faileas> hmm
[07:09] <faileas> yeah :(
[07:09] <Bakefy> what VNC server should I install?
[07:09] <faileas> or check if you can remove it from package manager first
[07:09] <christiano> help
[07:09] <faileas> then... else there SHOULD be an uninstall script
[07:10] <CountX> faileas, where
[07:10] <clarkey_> Hi I just installed the gusty daily build and I cant get my wireless to work should I file a bug report or is there something I am missing?
[07:10] <professorsnapper> kostkon: thanks for the reply. Seems I have two keys - one is the Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key, the 2nd is the Ubuntu CD image Auto signing key.
[07:10] <CoasterMaster> !gusty | clarkey_
[07:10] <ubotu> clarkey_: It is spelt !guTSy :)
[07:10] <CoasterMaster> clarkey_: gutsy support in #ubuntu+1
[07:10] <clarkey_> ok thnx
[07:10] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: maybe I should hit the button "restore defaults" at the bottom of that tab?
[07:10] <CountX> is gusty the new one?
[07:11] <faileas> CountX: erm, i donno add/remove or synaptic?
[07:11] <CoasterMaster> !gusty | CountX
[07:11] <ubotu> CountX: It is spelt !guTSy :)
[07:11] <n-iCe`> is not dhcp for get auto ip???
[07:11] <CoasterMaster> WHY DO I KEEP DOING THAT
[07:11] <CoasterMaster> !gutsy | CountX
[07:11] <ubotu> CountX: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[07:11] <faileas> hmm
[07:11] <faileas> CountX: try sudo vmware-uninstall.pl from console
[07:12] <mikehansl1l> anyone know what type of encryption ndis wrapper can handle?
[07:12] <CountX> faileas, command not found...
[07:12] <christiano> slim?
[07:12] <faileas> hmm
[07:12] <slimjimflim> jxxxt, well, the only other thing i can suggest, is to go through the output from `ps -A` and search for each prog ruling out each as your possible firewall
[07:12] <faileas> thats a good sign
[07:12] <Bakefy> what VNC server will let me control from a windows machine?
[07:12] <faileas> that means he used the repos
[07:12] <kostkon> professorsnapper, hmm, it's an option. I haven't tried it myself but you can do it I guess. But it seems that you have the keys needed.
[07:12] <faileas> what package manager do you use? check if you can remove it rom there
[07:12] <open-gl1> i get this error message saying something there was a error starting the GNOME settings Daemon.
[07:12] <slimjimflim> christiano, what?
[07:13] <faileas> hmm
[07:13] <faileas> waiiittt
[07:13] <faileas> CountX: vmware server right?
[07:13] <Bakefy> How do i enable VNC on my ubunut?
[07:13] <CountX> faileas, i dont know, all i know is my little bro installed it and i need it off cause this lappy is for work
[07:13] <mat2> hello
[07:13] <faileas> ....
[07:13] <jxxxt> slimjimflim, okey dokey just weird that it was working well and now is not I might try and contact a NZ user to see if they are having probs
[07:13] <mat2> I need some assistance
[07:13] <christiano> slim dpkg was interrupted
[07:13] <faileas> cripes, beat him into answering ;).
[07:13] <faileas> hmm
[07:14] <Zasch> Hello. I'm trying to compile Audacity, but when I type "./configure", it tells me "Could not find wx-config: is wxWidgets installed? is wx-config in your path?"
[07:14] <faileas> CountX: if its player, replace server with player on the same command
[07:14] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: I'll give it a go and report back in a minute...
[07:14] <Flannel> Zasch: why are you compiling?
[07:14] <slimjimflim> christiano, you're going to have to be a little more specific
[07:14] <CountX> faileas, what command?
[07:14] <faileas> erm
[07:14] <faileas> never mind
[07:14] <CountX> faileas, sudo vmware-uninstall.pl?
[07:14] <mat2> I went into Users and Groups in gnome and unchecked "administer system" in my account and now i cant undo what do i do?
[07:14] <faileas> *thinks*
[07:14] <Zasch> Flannel: Because when I just download it from repositories, it doesn't have the mixer toolbar, and the website says that if it doesn't have such a toolbar, then something wasn't included in the compile
[07:15] <faileas> that shouldn't do anything
[07:15] <faileas> so, it SHOULD be removable from a package manager
[07:15] <slimjimflim> christiano, and please use my full name
[07:15] <jxxxt> mikehansl1l, it claim to be ablw to handle wep but mine failed miserably on dapper with a bcm43xx card
[07:15] <faileas> ok, try apt-cache search vmware CountX
[07:15] <Flannel> Zasch: alright.  if you do 'sudo apt-get build-deps audacity' it'll install everything you need to compile it
[07:15] <christiano> do you say to me 'sudo apt-get install firefox
[07:15] <Flannel> mat2: do you have any other administrator users on the system?
[07:16] <mat2> i dont know
[07:16] <faileas> then try removing each one that turns up until it works ;)
[07:16] <mat2> i just installed
[07:16] <CountX> faileas, a whole lot came up
[07:16] <faileas> (this is VERY hit and miss)
[07:16] <christiano> error: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run
[07:16] <slimjimflim> christiano ya, either that or mozilla...please put my full screen name in messages you send me
[07:16] <Zasch> Flannel: It says "Invalid operation build-deps" (Sorry if I'm doing something completely nubish)
[07:16] <faileas> CountX: try removing them, one by one
[07:16] <discworld> Hi!! Ubuntu keeps crashing all the time! help please!! I have to reboot like 4 times until it works, and then after couple minutes it crashes again!!
[07:16] <christiano> thanks
[07:16] <christiano> ok
[07:16] <Flannel> mat2: Have you created any others?  Alright, that's no.  You'll need to reboot, at GRUB (hit escape after POST screen to see the menu) boot to the recovery console, then re-add your user to the admin group.
[07:16] <discworld> when I start, it loads, the ubuntu logo comes up and the loading bar starts to fill
[07:16] <CountX> faileas, ok, how do i do that
[07:16] <Flannel> Zasch: hmm, sorry, it's build-dep, no s.
[07:16] <mat2> how do i readd
[07:16] <slimjimflim> christiano so it's working now?
[07:16] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: Hmmm, I seem to be ahving trouble with closing my update manager to try the process again... maybe these issues are related?
[07:16] <CountX> faileas, some sound important
[07:17] <mat2> not very console sharp
[07:17] <christiano> wait
[07:17] <discworld> but when I'm suppose to type my login username and pass, everything is black and Ihave to try reboot again
[07:17] <faileas> CountX: erm, use common sense then
[07:17] <discworld> no it's not ok, it's gonna crash soon I think, I know it
[07:17] <Flannel> mat2: You'll need to do `usermod -G admin -a [username] `
[07:17] <CountX> faileas, "libview-dev - VMware's Incredibly Exciting Widgets
[07:17] <CountX> libview2 - VMware's Incredibly Exciting Widgets
[07:17] <CountX> libview2-dbg - VMware's Incredibly Exciting Widgets"
[07:17] <faileas> like i said, its VERY difficult to remove something, if you donno what it is
[07:17] <kostkon> professorsnapper, what happens? why you can't close it?
[07:17] <faileas> those are important?
[07:17] <discworld> what might be casuing this and how can I fix it asap?
[07:17] <open-gl1> my mouse pointer is not moving but the cd is still running
[07:17] <faileas> remove remove remove!
[07:18] <mat2> usermod -G admin -a [matthew]
[07:18] <CountX> faileas, thanks, just wasnt sure
[07:18] <faileas> if their not there, you will get errors, ignore them ! ;)
[07:18] <mat2> like that^
[07:18] <discworld> when it crashes, the mouse slows down like really fast and then stops, the screen, keyboard nor mouse ir resping and I have to cut the power
[07:18] <CountX> faileas, how do i remove them?
[07:18] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: I get the "wait" indicator instead of the mouse pointer - two minutes and still waiting...
[07:18] <faileas> sudo apt-get remove packagename
[07:18] <Flannel> mat2: no [] s
[07:18] <faileas> its gonna take a while to run through the list tho
[07:18] <mat2> oh ok
[07:18] <mat2> ill try it
[07:18] <yokomo> can you guys help me with a cedega/eve online error?
[07:19] <xamox> how do I use right click in linux on a mac?
[07:19] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: I'm just restarting Ubuntu now. WIll see if that helps.
[07:19] <Jake> Hello, I'm in the process of setting up a Linux machine for the first time.  I'm trying to decide between the Ubuntu and Ark distros.  Does Ubuntu come with WINE pre-installed?
[07:20] <faileas> Jake: i don't think so, but its easy to install
[07:20] <CyberCod> its in the repository
[07:20] <n-iCe`> How do i set my channel on wireless
[07:20] <CyberCod> channel is usually set by the router
[07:20] <discworld> When staring PC, instaid of the "login" screen I get a black screen and nothing happens. I have to cut the power and try again, somtimes it works. But when i'm on the computer, occasionally everything freezes for no reason. And I have to reboot again by cutting the power. usually I have to try reboot over 4 times to get to the login screen. What might casue this??
[07:20] <Flannel> Jake: no, but it's a single command to install.  Really, what it comes with pre-installed isn't a really big deal, since most distros with package management make things completely painless to install
[07:20] <n-iCe`> CyberCod yeah but how i write it in linux
[07:21] <n-iCe`> in the iwconfig
[07:21] <CyberCod> I used to know lol
[07:21] <SEJeff> Lenovo wants to know what Linux distro they should ship on thinkpads, make it Ubuntu: http://lenovoblogs.com/insidethebox/?p=98
[07:21] <CyberCod> gimme a minute
[07:21] <n-iCe`> thank you
[07:21] <n-iCe`> sudo iwconfig eth0 channel 6
[07:21] <yokomo> n-iCe`, sudo iwconfig <eth1, wlan0> C 6
[07:21] <n-iCe`> doesn't work
[07:22] <n-iCe`> Just C ?
[07:22] <Aminux> hi
[07:22] <n-iCe`> nope, doesn't work neither
[07:22] <yokomo> sorry, no
[07:22] <kostkon> professorsnapper, is the manager still running. Nevertheless, to fix the warnings try to do a "sudo apt-get update" from the terminal. Maybe you had a problem getting all the info from the repositories
[07:22] <yokomo> channel
[07:22] <n-iCe`> yokomo but i get this , loko
[07:22] <n-iCe`> look
[07:22] <Jake> Thank you.  I think I will set my first system up with Ubuntu.
[07:22] <discworld> What is a buffer and how do I reset it?? when loading it once said that the buffer was full.. maybe it might be that??
[07:22] <yokomo> and it helps if you are using this command BEFORE you connect to an ap
[07:23] <n-iCe`> Error for wireless request "set frequency" (8B04) :
[07:23] <n-iCe`> SET failed on device eth0 ; operation not permitted
[07:23] <yokomo> n-iCe`, are you using network-manager?
[07:23] <n-iCe`> yokomo not graphical
[07:23] <n-iCe`> is only console, i'm on ubuntu-server
[07:23] <yokomo> oh
[07:23] <CyberCod> www.linuxcommand.org/man_pages/iwconfig8.html   there you go
[07:23] <n-iCe`> i did it work in at the morning, now isn't working :<
[07:23] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: I've restarted Ubuntu, and now the manager is saying "could not download all repo indexes". Will take your advice and try terminal mode.
[07:24] <n-iCe`> CyberCod i know that is the iwconfig man
[07:24] <evilofisho> Gah, does ANYONE know of a memory editor for linux? Google is failing me. :<
[07:24] <CyberCod> yes, you need the syntax, right?
[07:24] <n-iCe`> But, why doesn't work the channel and how do i set the frequency i dont' get the error
[07:24] <yokomo> n-iCe`, and you know the ap is still broadcasting?
[07:24] <CountX> faileas, i keep uninstalling stuff but apt-cache search vmware turns up the same stuff
[07:24] <n-iCe`> yokomo well yeah in iwconfig i got signal link etc... everything seems to be fine, but is just not working
[07:24] <faileas> CountX: its ok
[07:24] <CountX> faileas, what does it mean?
[07:24] <discworld> In Ubuntu, what might be the most usual cause of random Crashes??
[07:24] <faileas> apt-cache search tells you what ALL the vmware packages are
[07:25] <n-iCe`> if i send sudo ifup eth0
[07:25] <CyberCod> n-iCe`: I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish... usually, your channel is set by the router and broadcast along with the ssid
[07:25] <n-iCe`> it give me errors
[07:25] <CountX> faileas, can i clear the cache?
[07:25] <faileas> since you don't know what to remove, try removing the one by one until you remove what you have
[07:25] <discworld> !buffer
[07:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about buffer - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:25] <faileas> no need
[07:25] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: terminal gives me a whole list of "failed to fetch" responses. Maybe it's not seeing the archive?
[07:25] <mat2> thx man it worked!
[07:25] <discworld> What's a buffer, how does it work and how do I reset it?
[07:25] <shawnr34> I can access my windows shared drives on ubuntu, but when i try to access them on windows its asking for a username and password and I can't figure it out. My linus login doesn't work. can anyone help me out?
[07:25] <faileas> CountX: apt-cache search = search for avialable packages. it shouldn't change
[07:25] <CyberCod> anyone in here good with NFS?
[07:25] <mat2> i have one more question
[07:26] <CountX> faileas, dang
[07:26] <CountX> faileas, i have a lot more to search
[07:26] <kostkon> professorsnapper, yeah, maybe the repository is down. Do you use a local repository?
[07:26] <faileas> yeah you do
[07:26] <n-iCe`> look, CyberCod i'm getting this error: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=434600
[07:26] <n-iCe`> yokomo look: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=434600
[07:26] <faileas> CountX: personally it would be faster to drag your brother over by the ear and ask him what he did ;p
[07:26] <mat2> I dloaded lokkit and secured internet with it but what is the official position on antivirus, i hear some say no antivius but then some say i should
[07:26] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: I'm just using the default settings, no locals at present.
[07:27] <slimjimflim> shawnr34, create a new user on your linux machine, and give it appropriate permisions to your share folder, then log in with that username/password
[07:27] <CountX> faileas, i would if he was here
[07:27] <CyberCod> shawnr34, this is a good guide, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605&highlight=howto+samba
[07:27] <yokomo> n-iCe`, that seems like a different error message, I thought you said you were getting a channel error
[07:27] <n-iCe`> yokomo when i try to select a channel
[07:28] <whalesalad> hey guys how can i bind apache to one ip and another web server to another
[07:28] <mat2> should i get an antivirus or should i shrug it off?
[07:28] <yokomo> well, I am not too familiar with the command line iwconfig
[07:28] <shawnr34> slimjimflim, i don't understand, i want to access files on my current users home dir. why do i have to create a new user?
[07:28] <evilofisho> Gah, does ANYONE know of a memory editor for linux? Google is failing me. :<
[07:28] <slimjimflim> whalesaladhttp://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/examples.html
[07:28] <yokomo> however, I have a problem with the aps... I stop the service, input my ap address and then it connects correctly
[07:29] <slimjimflim> whalesalad http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/examples.html
[07:29] <CyberCod> n-iCe`: this is wireless? and shows up in iwconfig? or are you using ifconfig?
[07:29] <tarntow> Problem of having sound suddenly gone dead...what is the fix apart from rebooting ? thanx
[07:29] <yokomo> maybe stopping and inputting your channel will help?
[07:29] <CyberCod> are you sure the DHCP server is active on the router?
[07:29] <kostkon> professorsnapper, do you get the fail message for all of the urls?
[07:29] <jerbear> i would like to compile a new version of vim (using the same compile options as ubuntu's package). ubuntu's is 7.0. i would like to compile 7.1. how can i do that? (i already have the build tools/deps, and know how to use them)
[07:30] <slimjimflim> shawn34, you can give that user only permission to use the share folder.  that way, if somebody illigitimately gets access, they're confined do the share folder
[07:30] <christiano> list canais
[07:30] <CyberCod> before you break your arm pulling on the cord, make sure there is gas in the mower
[07:31] <CyberCod> I'm getting some super weak NFS transfer speeds and I dunno why
[07:32] <n-iCe`> how do i all the wireless conenction?
[07:32] <CyberCod> n-iCe`:  um,,, huh?
[07:32] <CyberCod> how do you all it?
[07:33] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: I get several blocks of error messages - some starting with "err" some starting with "Ign", then the rest with "failed to fetch". What should I be looking for, do you think?
[07:33] <CountX> what do you guys suggest for running a virtual machine?
[07:33] <CyberCod> CountX I use vmware server
[07:33] <CountX> CyberCod, other then vmware
[07:34] <open-gl> how long does it take for the ubuntu to load. I am on a amd 3000+ with 256mb ram.
[07:34] <CountX> cause it wont install cause my bro effed up my lappy
[07:34] <CyberCod> other than that?.... there's virtualbox, but I've not used it
[07:34] <open-gl> i have been waiting 15 minutes already
[07:34] <CountX> open-gl, i like ur name :P
[07:34] <overclucker> open-gl, get a stopwatch
[07:34] <open-gl> and i see a black screen with just the mouse pointer which wont move
[07:34] <lint> This is totally off topic, but does anyone know of any .NET or ASP related channels? Apologies for the BACN..
[07:34] <CyberCod> CountX, how so?  u usually have to remove all files associated with it before it will install
[07:34] <Tsukasa> hey has anyone tried ubuntu and kubuntu recently? im wondering the +s and -s to kde vs gnome
[07:35] <slimjimflim> open-gl, you need more ram
[07:35] <CyberCod> I'll get flamed for saying this, but Automatix does a decent job of installing vmware
[07:35] <overclucker> open-gl, where is the bar? <[07:35] <CyberCod> so long as you don't already have vmware player installed
[07:35] <kostkon> professorsnapper, hmm. it looks like there is a problem getting the packages list from your repositories. It looks like a connection problem or a repository server is down. Does your repositories urls have a country prefix in front of them?
[07:35] <CountX> CyberCod, it says theres a previous installation
[07:35] <open-gl> i past the gnome error
[07:35] <slimjimflim> lint #windows
[07:35] <CountX> CyberCod, my bro was messing with vmware but doesnt know jack
[07:36] <n-iCe`> how can i turn off my pc by console ?
[07:36] <open-gl> where it was a screen with a peach color
[07:36] <yokomo> n-iCe`, sudo shutdown -h now
[07:36] <acad> if i modify sudoer with visudo when does it take effect?
[07:36] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: No prefix that I can see. Looks like http://archive.ubuntu.com
[07:36] <overclucker> open-gl, do you have swap?
[07:36] <n-iCe`> thank you yokomo i'll see if i turn off the pc, it can work again
[07:36] <open-gl> dont know what swap
[07:37] <n-iCe`> btw it didn't turn off the pc, says, system halted
[07:37] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: and also http://security.ubuntu.com
[07:37] <CountX> is automatrix server down?
[07:37] <open-gl> the cd is still running
[07:37] <Flannel> !automatix | CountX
[07:37] <ubotu> CountX: Automatix2 is a block of code which attempts to install some software.  When it fails and breaks systems, we don't provide support for it.  A creditable analysis from a debian/ubuntu developer is here - http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html (Additional information: /msg ubotu worksforme)
[07:37] <yokomo> n-iCe`, did you do "sudo shutdown -h now"?
[07:37] <yokomo> the whole thing?
[07:37] <n-iCe`> yup
[07:37] <kostkon> professorsnapper, for the urls that you get the "failed to fetch" you could add your local prefix in front of it to see if it will work better.
[07:38] <CountX> Flannel, is the server down?
[07:38] <DuClare> n-iCe`, try `sudo shutdown -hP now`
[07:38] <yokomo> interesting
[07:38] <slimjimflim> n-iCe, try sudo halt
[07:38] <DuClare> nipra, where P is for halt-action Power off
[07:38] <CyberCod> CountX, if you do a search for all files with VM in them, in the whole filesystem, you should be able to locate and delete your failed install... then have automatix install it for you
[07:38] <Flannel> CountX: We don't know, we'd be happy if it went away forever.
[07:38] <Flannel> CyberCod: Please don't recommend automatix here.
[07:38] <jxxxt> slimjimflim, Fixed..... I changed servers goes good now..
[07:38] <overclucker> open-gl, http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/10/07/memory-swap-management/#comment-77307
[07:38] <jetscreamer> add the path
[07:38] <CountX> Flannel, now thats not very nice :
[07:38] <yokomo> DuClare, ahhh, mine just does it automagically
[07:38] <Flannel> CountX: Neither is what it does to people's installs.
[07:38] <damo22> is there a good distro for a linux jukebox using a joystick for input?
[07:38] <kostkon> professorsnapper, , for which of them you get the "failed to fetch"?
[07:39] <CountX> Flannel, like 'go away' as in the way the mob uses it?
[07:39] <slimjimflim> jxxxt, what did you do?
[07:39] <CyberCod> No NFS gurus in here at all then?
[07:39] <jetscreamer> damo22: mplayer does joystick
[07:39] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: Right, so for Australia, would it be "http://au.archive.ubuntu.com"?
[07:39] <damo22> jetscreamer: i see.. does that use lirc?
[07:39] <jetscreamer> it also does lirc damo22
[07:40] <jetscreamer> damo22: #mplayer
[07:40] <jxxxt> slimjimflim, System>administration>sofware sources... Change server
[07:40] <kostkon> professorsnapper, I assume yes. You can edit your sources list from a text editor, it would more easy and fast. Just do a "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" from the terminal. When you finish do again the "sudo apt-get update".
[07:40] <n-iCe`> DuClare same

[07:41] <slimjimflim> n-iCe` and then again to restart
[07:42] <slimjimflim> or ctrl-alt-del
[07:42] <overclucker> CountX, he meant it as in '/quit'
[07:43] <overclucker> CountX, or as in 'gee, could you umm, please try to be less abrasive?'
[07:44] <clarkey_> does anyone here know how to power on the radio in a wireless card?
[07:44] <faileas> clarkey_: depends on the system really
[07:44] <faileas> some do it in HW
[07:44] <CountX> so then why do people recomend it?
[07:44] <chuy_max> hi, I installed postfix, and mail receiving is working, but I have problems with sending mail, sending locally works, but if I try to send mails to or from the internet I have trouble
[07:45] <chuy_max> can anyone look at my main.cf file please? http://pastebin.ca/688107
[07:45] <clarkey_> faileas: well im on a laptop but the button has broken upgrading from feisty to gusty
[07:45] <Flannel> CountX: We don't recommend it.
[07:45] <Flannel> CountX: If you read the link, you'll find a good deal of reasons why people /shouldn't/ recommend it.
[07:45] <kidbuntu> in a browser. what do you mean by bookmark this page?
[07:46] <clarkey_> and yes I know about ubuntu+1 but theyre not being helpful
[07:46] <CountX> Flannel, ya sry i brought it up
[07:46] <faileas> clarkey_: isn't gutsy experimental?
[07:46] <Flannel> CountX: Nothing wrong with it.  But we don't support it here, let alone know the server status.
[07:46] <faileas> IE, stuff might break
[07:46] <clarkey_> yea
[07:47] <faileas> then again, i'm still using 6.06 LTS in some systems ;p
[07:47] <Tsukasa> hey you can run kde apps in gnome cant you?
[07:47] <bullgard4> /boot/config-2.6.20-16-generic contains a line 'CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y'. In a console, pressing Alt+SysRq+m produces a line '[44334.060000] SysRq : Show Memory' on my laptop computer; the cursor jumps to the beginning of the next line and stays there. How to get that memory dump on my screen?
[07:47] <dns_56> gutsy is defentately pre-release, if you know how to fix broken packages and don't care if your system doesn't boot anymore you can use it
[07:47] <Tsukasa> dns_56, i installed tribe 5 and it works fine for me
[07:48] <tonyyarusso> Tsukasa: yes
[07:48] <dns_56> you always need to force a few packages if you move to it before it is released though, and occasionally X or the kernel does break :)
[07:48] <Tsukasa> i didnt need to
[07:49] <Tsukasa> i just ran the update manager and i was good
[07:49] <acad> i added "default ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/adduser" to the bottom of my sudoer file and i am still prompted for a password when i go to add a user like this "sudo adder jack"
[07:49] <acad> am i missing something? do i need to do something else/
[07:50] <Tsukasa> dns_56, sounds like someones a little skiddish about betas ;)
[07:50] <Tsukasa> put some evil spirit wards on your computer
[07:50] <jetscreamer> acad: %sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL
[07:50] <jetscreamer> acad: %username ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL
[07:50] <faileas> Tsukasa: donno, one of my test VMs is an OS in alpha status ;p all i'm saying is don't espect it to work perfectly until its ready
[07:51] <jetscreamer> amend to taste
[07:51] <faileas> sometimes not even after that ;p
[07:51] <jetscreamer> acad: man sudoers
[07:51] <dns_56> not really, i usually switch to ubuntu +1 a month ahead you just need to be warned things do break and expect to download 100+mb daily as they update things
[07:52] <mhz> hi all
[07:52] <DuClare> hi.
[07:52] <mhz> i'm just installing ubuntu on my notebook
[07:52] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: thanks for your help, by the way :) . Will try that. When I go to System>Admin>Software Sources and change the "download from" dropdown from Australia to the main server, the result seems to be the same...
[07:52] <mhz> but what is the root password
[07:52] <DuClare> mhz, you don't really have one
[07:52] <mhz> is it toor?
[07:52] <DuClare> mhz, use sudo
[07:52] <nazeeh> it's not...
[07:53] <mhz> no root account?
[07:53] <nazeeh> to change root password, type sudo passwd root
[07:53] <nazeeh> this will let you set the root password
[07:53] <astro76> !root | mhz
[07:53] <ubotu> mhz: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[07:54] <Flannel> nazeeh: Please don't recommend that.
[07:54] <jetscreamer> now explain why
[07:54] <nazeeh> oh..isn't that what the docs recommend? at least I remember reading it there... my bad
[07:54] <jetscreamer> or why not
[07:54] <jetscreamer> that is how.
[07:54] <Flannel> nazeeh: no, the docs recommend not setting a root password
[07:54] <mhz> thanks DuClare, sudo works on it
[07:54] <mhz> ;)
[07:54] <stdin> !sudo
[07:55] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:55] <codeane> mhz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions#head-a93fe09558d05b95a3b68200c629ec1cf3a70d7f
[07:55] <nazeeh> Flannel: ah...ok... I think i found that info via searching the web. I can see why sudo is better though. I personally use it vs root
[07:55] <professorsnapper> Kostkon:.....and when I change the sources list thru that text mode, I get the response that the sources.list file couldn't be saved, as it wasn't found...
[07:56] <Flannel> nazeeh: if you've set a root password, you can always disable it with sudo passwd -l (that's an L)
[07:56] <nazeeh> Flannel: good idea... thanks for the tip!
[07:57] <kostkon> professorsnapper, first close any apt frontend like synaptic or update manager to be sure. Did you use "sudo" in front of the command?
[07:57] <nazeeh> Flannel: locked my root account :)
[07:58] <n-iCe`> i caaaaaaaaant :>
[07:58] <stdin> Flannel: sudo passwd -d -l is better
[07:58] <n-iCe`> :<
[07:59] <Flannel> stdin: I don't see how -d would make a difference.
[07:59] <fatcatmatt> here we go!  UBUNTU!
[07:59] <yotam> hi all is there anyone who can help me with my svn folder? it is locked and I can't unlock it
[07:59] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: I did have Synaptic / update manager closed, and I did use sudo, but not having much luck I'm afraid...
[07:59] <fatcatmatt> everybody on the debian channels are turds!
[07:59] <fatcatmatt> idk why i was there, but yeah...im in the right place now
[08:00] <Flannel> yotam: locked?
[08:00] <yotam> yes
[08:00] <yotam> svn: Working copy '/home/yotam/h/web old' locked
[08:00] <n-iCe`> How can i search for all the wireless connection availables on ubuntu?
[08:00] <n-iCe`> iwlist scan or somethin similar how is it?
[08:01] <pergesu> how can I see what processes are taking up the most memory?  I know I can use top to take a look at processes, but then I don't know how to sort by memory
[08:01] <kostkon> professorsnapper, yeah strange. You should be able to edit it and save it without any problem.
[08:01] <fatcatmatt> nice, got the perfect tool, hold up
[08:01] <Flannel> yotam: `svn status` and theyve got an L in the third column?
[08:02] <fatcatmatt> n-iCe`: knetworkmanager
[08:02] <yotam> Flannel: I get L next to the .
[08:02] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: Do we have any tool like Window$ Remote Desktop that would allow you to see what I'm seeing?
[08:02] <Flannel> yotam: Right.  ASsuming you're not currently saving any of the files in that w.c.?
[08:02] <jerbear> how do i use the scripts from the package "vim-scripts"? are they enabled by default?
[08:02] <rockets> whats the console command to open the screenshot app
[08:03] <Flannel> yotam: `svn cleanup` will fix it.
[08:03] <yotam> Flannel: I tried it
[08:03] <yotam> all seem ok
[08:03] <n-iCe`> fatcatmatt im on ubuntu server
[08:03] <kostkon> professorsnapper, yeah, but don't know any specifics, sorry.
[08:03] <overclucker> rockets, print screen?
[08:04] <AvaTaRT> hey who can to help me with the video of my pc
[08:04] <AvaTaRT> ??
[08:04] <AvaTaRT> SiS 86C202 AGP with this
[08:04] <yotam> Flannel: but when I try and do "svn ci" I get an error msg saying that my folder is locked
[08:04] <Flannel> yotam: you said the lock was on .?  you need to go to your parent folder and do the cleanup
[08:04] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: that's ok - I'm hugely grateful for your time. Any suggestions from here?
[08:04] <scipio> pergesu, "sudo aptitude install htop" htop lets your sort the list
[08:05] <pergesu> thanks
[08:05] <rockets> overclucker, gnome-screenshot
[08:05] <rockets> thats it
[08:05] <overclucker> ah
[08:05] <yotam> to the svn parent folder? or to my user parent folder?
[08:05] <Flannel> yotam: cd .. && svn cleanup
[08:06] <overclucker> make sense, considering the app is called gnome-sceenshot, lol
[08:07] <yotam> Flannel: got it, thanks
[08:07] <yotam> Flannel: ciau
[08:07] <kostkon> professorsnapper, how do you connect to the internet? Do you use a proxy or something like that?
[08:07] <fatcatmatt> n-iCe`: oohhh...idk then
[08:08] <H0lyD4wg> can someone here help me with udev rules?
[08:08] <LDS_Trooper> Greetings!
[08:09] <LDS_Trooper> Is there a way to change the opacity of folders while viewing them?
[08:09] <Sir_Sid> where is the httpd.conf file apache uses when it installs in a LAMP setup from the ubuntu server cd
[08:09] <codeane> chuy_max, check your relayhost =
[08:09] <open-gl> ok i am on desktop now and i see two icons on with examples and the other is istall. I just want to run live cd whats next.
[08:10] <Sir_Sid> the one in /etc/apache2 is empty
[08:10] <Darth_Gimp> Is there a way to change the opacity of folders while viewing them?
[08:11] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: no proxy as yet, just a straight connection (though I'll be looking to change that in the near future). I've just noticed that I inserted an extra space in the terminal command - will try again & check back in a couple of minutes...
[08:11] <kostkon> professorsnapper, ok
[08:12] <chuy_max> codeane, is it similar to mx? (I set this up in yahoo, it is my registrar)
[08:12] <dns_56> Sir_Sid: the config should be /etc/apache2/httpd.conf it is hidden by normal users so you will need to sudo into root to view/edit
[08:13] <Sir_Sid> Ive been acessing it via command line, its just when I view it. Its completly emptey
[08:13] <Sir_Sid> and apache is running
[08:13] <Sir_Sid> and when I go to my ip, it does load the default test page
[08:13] <dns_56> are you root or in the apache group?
[08:14] <Sir_Sid> i ran sudo kate (i put kde on it)
[08:14] <Sir_Sid> kate=gedit
[08:14] <Sir_Sid> right?
[08:14] <DSpair> Anyone know what package to install to get the man pages for the standard C++ headers?
[08:14] <Sir_Sid> sudo kate /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
[08:14] <nickrud> Sir_Sid: /var/www
[08:14] <codeane> chuy_max, i think u need to set it to ur local network to allow relaying from ur network, i.e. relayhost = <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:15] <DSpair> For example, I would like to see the man pages for "cin", "cout", etc...
[08:15] <Sir_Sid> nickrud, I would like to change that directory to /media and place a password on it
[08:15] <nickrud> Sir_Brizz: sorry, you looking for the httpd.conf file or the location that apache servers content from?
[08:15] <dns_56> DSpair: not sure, i think it is glibc-doc or something
[08:16] <nickrud> DSpair: manpages-dev I think
[08:16] <Sir_Sid> nickrud, I am looking for the httpd.conf so I can change the directly apache serves from
[08:16] <Sir_Sid> rickrud, its just that the httpd.conf file I have now is blank
[08:17] <nickrud> Sir_Sid: its in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
[08:17] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: I'm in the sources.list, and have removed the "au." from all the URLs, but it doesn't seem to change the result.
[08:17] <Evilbadwrong> Does anyone know of a userguide for Beryl out there anywhere? The wiki page is no longer available....
[08:17] <nickrud> Sir_Sid: ubuntu has the http.conf split in to a variety of files, so other packages can drop their configs into apache easily
[08:18] <DSpair> Also, anyone know how to regenerate the "apropos" index on Ubuntu?
[08:18] <Sir_Sid> nickrud, I see
[08:18] <CorpseFeeder> Hi!!!! Can anyone suggest a good laptop to run Ubuntu on? Or tell me what model you are using...
[08:19] <DSpair> dns_56: No go one the glibc-doc. That did not install the appropriate man pages.
[08:19] <figmentj13> hi
[08:19] <matux> Does TOR works with an DSL connection?
[08:19] <Evilbadwrong> User Guide for Beryl anywhere?
[08:19] <Sir_Sid> nickrud, Thank you
[08:19] <nickrud> gateway DSpair manpages-dev
[08:19] <faileas> matux: it should
[08:20] <matux> I am asking it, 'cause I've installed TOR and configured like the tutorials says but , web sites, get my real IP
[08:20] <Darth_Gimp> Is there a way to change the opacity of folders while viewing them?
[08:20] <figmentj13> ok i really need help setting up windows mobile 5 sync, could anyone hepl me?
[08:21] <matux> I have a DSL connection with a DSL router and my public IP is configured in that router
[08:21] <Darth_Gimp> figmentj13, sorry I do not have experience with that
[08:21] <DSpair> nickrud: Nope, still no man page for "cout" or "cin"
[08:21] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: I think I might have found the prob: I'm not using a proxy, but I AM running Ubuntu in a Virtual Machine. Just got Ubuntu to see the net, and I'll try again... sorry for not checking this sooner :)
[08:21] <DSpair> nickrud: I do have man pages for the "C" headers, but not the "C++" headers.
[08:21] <dns_56> Evilbadwrong: i would use compiz instead, beryl has been discontinued and the plugins have been moved into compiz-fusion
[08:22] <kostkon> professorsnapper, ok, no prob!! I hope now you will be OK. Try it and tell me. Do a "sudo apt-get update".
[08:22] <Darth_Gimp> dns_56, compiz requires a graphics card correct?
[08:22] <matux> has anybody used TOR with a DSL connection?
[08:22] <arm-c> Hello All
[08:22] <Darth_Gimp> matux, TOR ??
[08:22] <Darth_Gimp> dns_56, compiz requires a graphics card correct?
[08:22] <matux> yes
[08:22] <faileas> its an anonymous proxy
[08:22] <figmentj13> ok how bout running apps in sudo mode?
[08:23] <faileas> matux: it should work
[08:23] <nickrud> DSpair: don't c++ ;)
[08:23] <Darth_Gimp> faileas, thanks
[08:23] <VousDeux> I don't trust those anonymous proxy tools
[08:23] <CorpseFeeder> anybody?
[08:23] <faileas> Darth_Gimp: technically quite cool actually
[08:23] <Sir_Sid> nickrud, Where can I tell it to prompt a password to acess the directory? Is there a way to do this via the apache config files?
[08:23] <Darth_Gimp> faileas, what is? Compiz?
[08:23] <nickrud> Darth_Gimp: you need a video card to see anything
[08:23] <faileas> VousDeux: this one is US navy designed IIRC. so.. its either really good, or a trap ;)
[08:23] <CorpseFeeder> does anyone know if a Dell latitude D600 is any use?
[08:24] <faileas> Darth_Gimp: TOR ;p
[08:24] <arm-c> Is there anyone that is very smart on kernel modules, how modprobe is configured to search specific sources, etc?
[08:24] <Darth_Gimp> nickrud, I have onboard gfx at the moment
[08:24] <Darth_Gimp> faileas, ahh ok
[08:24] <matux> VousDeux, so you do it old school styel
[08:24] <matux> style
[08:24] <faileas> CorpseFeeder: 'any use' - well you could ALWAYS use it for something ;p
[08:24] <Darth_Gimp> nickrud, once I have a GFX card things will be sweet
[08:24] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: I get the terminal response: "Timestamp too far in the future: Sept 10..." Will try using update mgr & see if it's any better
[08:24] <Sir_Sid> Where can I tell apache to prompt a password to acess the directory? Is there a way to do this via the apache config files?
[08:24] <CorpseFeeder> faileas: well I need an anchor for my boat
[08:25] <faileas> CorpseFeeder: ;)
[08:25] <VousDeux> I'm always sceptical when I start passing data through unknown routes...the guy on the end can always capture clear text
[08:25] <figmentj13> i want to install syncML, how do i do it?
[08:25] <nickrud> Darth_Gimp: I have onboard, (ati) and it works
[08:25] <Darth_Gimp> So is there a way to change the opacity of nautilus like you can with terminal?
[08:25] <CorpseFeeder> faileas: what about running ubuntu?
[08:25] <DSpair> nickrud: School doesn't give me much choice. Personally, I'd love to program in C for school, but they think that C is outdated . . . Jackasses!
[08:25] <ThanatosDrive> In RhythmBox, when you move songs to Trash, does it actually delete the file from your drive, or does it only remove the selection from the playlist?
[08:25] <xrxx> c#
[08:25] <Darth_Gimp> nickrud, really? don't you need 3d accel?
[08:25] <CorpseFeeder> c is outdated which is stupid cos everybody uses it
[08:26] <faileas> CorpseFeeder: it should run, donno if it can handle compiz, but if its anything within the last 6 years, it should work, degfinately
[08:26] <Flannel> Sir_Sid: using htpasswd and Basic Auth configs: http://www.colostate.edu/~ric/htpass.html  (googling for htpasswd will give you a lot of stuff)
[08:26] <Darth_Gimp> ThanatosDrive, test it
[08:26] <Sir_Sid> Thank you Flannel
[08:26] <faileas> CorpseFeeder: C is nice when you need some degree of performance, but something not too low level
[08:26] <VousDeux> if I really wanted to be anonymous for some reason, I would probably use a proxy chain, but I would never pass anything personal through it
[08:26] <ThanatosDrive>  Darth_Gimp: I was actually asking here so I wouldn't HAVE to test it, but okay.
[08:26] <faileas> there's a reason why damn near every OS is in C ;)
[08:26] <nickrud> Darth_Gimp: you have ati?
[08:26] <Darth_Gimp> let me test it for you...
[08:27] <Darth_Gimp> nickrud, I would have to check
[08:27] <xrxx> whats ubuntu? sorry for q
[08:27] <Darth_Gimp> xrxx, its a flavour of Linux
[08:27] <DSpair> Egads, I love BitTorrent. A whole season of CSI in one day... That's awesome.
[08:27] <ziroday> !ubuntu | xrxx
[08:27] <ubotu> xrxx: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com
[08:27] <nickrud> Sir_Sid: I set a file in the directory; and for some reason I reach my server to look!
[08:27] <faileas> it is a linux distro based off debian
[08:28] <xrxx> not fan of linux based op systems
[08:28] <ThanatosDrive> Darth_Gimp: It actually deletes it from the drive.
[08:28] <TehDuffman1> Question: I had a software raid in XP on 4 harddrives. I wanted to dual boot to Ubuntu but my XP got screwed up in the process is there anyway i will be able to get that information off thoses disk, though a vm or anything else?
[08:28] <faileas> xrxx: then why are you here?
[08:28] <ziroday> !offtopic | xrxx
[08:28] <ubotu> xrxx: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[08:28] <xrxx> not sure
[08:28] <Darth_Gimp> ThanatosDrive, yep.. just tested it
[08:29] <Plantain> What's a better driver for a 9550, "ati" or "radeon"?
[08:29] <Darth_Gimp> ThanatosDrive, I usually just "remove from playlist"
[08:29] <xrxx> imo the server needs no GUI interface, winXP is fine for gui interface
[08:29] <ziroday> Plantain: well in ubuntu those are the same things
[08:29] <Darth_Gimp> ThanatosDrive, I tend to use Amarok more
[08:29] <Plantain> ziroday: What about AIGLX vs. default?
[08:29] <v1k1ng> duffman:  can't you use a live cd?
[08:30] <xrxx> i believe ati radeo lags far from nvidia
[08:30] <TehDuffman1> but the thing is its a windows XP software raid
[08:30] <TehDuffman1> i dont think linux will be able to emulate it
[08:30] <TehDuffman1> i did it through drive managament in XP
[08:30] <dns_56> TehDuffman1: perhaps, what is the exact problem, what raid type, what type of raid controler?
[08:30] <Plantain> xrxx: Their drivers lag behind, their hardware is comparable
[08:30] <ziroday> Plantain: lemme explain. "ati" in ubuntu covers both the ati open source 2d drivers and the radeon open source 3d drivers
[08:30] <Darth_Gimp> ok so no input about the opacity of folders???
[08:30] <v1k1ng> i'm not familiar with that, maybe someone else can help
[08:30] <TehDuffman1> its on a promise tk300 but it doesnt have any hardware raid did the raid through XP disk managment
[08:31] <Plantain> ziroday: Okay, so setting it to "ati" is best, or they're identical?
[08:31] <ziroday> Plantain: they use AIGLX. fglrx which is closed source developed by ati/amd needs XGL
[08:31] <xrxx> havent seen yet risc unit proc outperform intel
[08:31] <TehDuffman1> i thought i could just install VBox but it doesnt see any of the harddrives except for the one its installed on
[08:31] <ziroday> Plantain: well you really want either closed ati/amd drivers or open ati drivers
[08:31] <figmentj13> i am a noob and really just need basic help
[08:31] <Plantain> ziroday: This is PPC, so the closed source drivers are a nogo
[08:31] <Darth_Gimp> figmentj13, what did you need again?
[08:32] <ziroday> Plantain: then its ati
[08:32] <ziroday> Plantain: or radeon drivers if they are there
[08:32] <figmentj13> i want to know how to even run programs or a like explaining comand line to run programs with sudo
[08:33] <Plantain> ziroday: So they're one and the same, or not? I changed from ati to radeon 5 minutes ago
[08:33] <dns_56> If you have a spare disk drive that has enough space for your raid what i would do is image your hard drive using dd and use the linux tools, it gets hard but it is possible
[08:33] <Darth_Gimp> figmentj13, many will run by clicking their icon, much like windows
[08:33] <TehDuffman1> dd?
[08:33] <figmentj13> well i need to run a program with sudo or root
[08:33] <figmentj13> i know what that is
[08:33] <figmentj13> but how?
[08:33] <ThanatosDrive> So type in sudo [whatever]
[08:33] <Flannel> !sudo | figmentj13
[08:33] <ubotu> figmentj13: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[08:34] <ziroday> Plantain: just go with radeon
[08:34] <figmentj13> oh ok the
[08:34] <figmentj13> |
[08:34] <Plantain> ziroday: alright then
[08:34] <Darth_Gimp> figmentj13, let's say you are running blender. You would type sudo blender
[08:34] <Plantain> thanks
[08:34] <figmentj13> is what i was missing
[08:34] <Flannel> Darth_Gimp: no, you'd use gksu blender
[08:34] <figmentj13> thanks
[08:34] <astro76> figmentj13, no, no |
[08:34] <Darth_Gimp> Flannel, thanks for the correction
[08:34] <jontec> k, so I installed postgresql-8.1 and found out that it was obselete and then removed it... now I've installed postgresql-8.2 and it's starting on the wrong port... (5433 instead of 5432, which all of the commands are expecting)... and when I attempt to remove the client (which I think is the problem) for 8.1, it's removing an application that we need (moodle)!
[08:34] <dns_56> dd, disk druid, it allows you to copy a partition to a file, dd if=/dev/hda of=file, you can perhaps then use some tools to join the images together but it gets complex
[08:35] <figmentj13> ok well the program is adept manager
[08:35] <TehDuffman1> yea i dont know its 4 500 gig harddrives
[08:35] <Darth_Gimp> Flannel, do you know if I can change the opacity of my folders? Like the home folder much like I can with Terminal?
[08:35] <TehDuffman1> i dont think can find that much space :)
[08:35] <ziroday> Darth_Gimp: with compiz?
[08:35] <bullgard4> /boot/config-2.6.20-16-generic contains a line 'CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y'. In a console, pressing Alt+SysRq+m produces a line '[44334.060000] SysRq : Show Memory' on my laptop computer; the cursor jumps to the beginning of the next line and stays there. How to get that memory dump on my screen?
[08:36] <Darth_Gimp> ziroday, no just Ubuntu
[08:36] <r-c> how secure is samba ?
[08:36] <dns_56> i would try and find someone that knows a lot about linux that can sit next to you, it requires a bit of knowledge and you can really mess things up
[08:36] <ziroday> Darth_Gimp: AFAIK there is no way and I strongly doubt there is
[08:36] <dns_56> if possible find a linux user group or something to help you
[08:37] <Darth_Gimp> ziroday, ok thanks.. that's what I thought.. but doesn't hurt to ask
[08:37] <bullgard4> r-c: It functions on my computer LAN reliably.
[08:37] <Flannel> Darth_Gimp: Believe you need to be using compisition
[08:37] <Sargun> hi Lakshmi
[08:37] <Lakshmi> hey
[08:37] <ziroday> Darth_Gimp: np :)
[08:37] <Darth_Gimp> Flannel, thanks
[08:37] <Lakshmi> so a lil help guys?
[08:37] <Darth_Gimp> Early start tomorrow.. night all
[08:37] <r-c> bullgard4: can it use ssh?
[08:37] <faileas> r-c: no
[08:38] <codeane> Lakshmi, whats up
[08:38] <r-c> faileas: do you think it's secure?
[08:38] <Lakshmi> sargun wants me to use ubunto
[08:39] <Lakshmi> how do i get it on my comp?
[08:39] <Flannel> !install | Lakshmi
[08:39] <ubotu> Lakshmi: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[08:39] <Flannel> Lakshmi: basically, download the ISO, burn it, boot to it
[08:40] <bullgard4> Flannel: When people speak about "the ISO" they do not speak about that International Organization of Standardization but what do they speak about?
[08:41] <fatcatmatt> bullgard4: no, it's an image of a cd on your hard drive
[08:41] <astro76> bullgard4, actually that's what it means, specifically ISO 9660, cd format
[08:41] <mathnotmeth_> hey is there anyone here who could help me get my soundcard working?
[08:41] <elzbal> bullgard4: In this sense, an ISO is a file that represents the contents of a CD, which can be written directly to a burnable CD.
[08:41] <Flannel> bullgard4: a .iso file
[08:42] <fatcatmatt> i guess it is, but it's a .iso file, as flannel stated
[08:42] <B3-3> how i can change password?
[08:42] <fatcatmatt> props, flannel, i learned something new
[08:42] <B3-3> i want to change root password
[08:42] <fatcatmatt> why, B3-3
[08:43] <mathnotmeth_> hey is there anyone here who could help me get my soundcard working? i just recently installed, and it is a intel integrated
[08:43] <fatcatmatt> System > Administration > Users and Groups, B3-3
[08:43] <astro76> !root | B3-3
[08:43] <ubotu> B3-3: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[08:43] <dns_56> sudo passwd
[08:43] <jontec> sorry to paste again T_T: k, so I installed postgresql-8.1 and found out that it was obselete and then removed it... now I've installed postgresql-8.2 and it's starting on the wrong port... (5433 instead of 5432, which all of the commands are expecting)... and when I attempt to remove the client (which I think is the problem) for 8.1, it's removing an application that we need (moodle)!
[08:43] <B3-3> im new to ubuntu
[08:43] <mathnotmeth_> hey is there anyone here who could help me get my soundcard working? i just recently installed, and it is a intel integrated
[08:43] <fatcatmatt> it's all good, B3-3
[08:43] <Flannel> !repeat  mathnotmeth_
[08:43] <Flannel> !repeat | mathnotmeth_
[08:43] <ubotu> mathnotmeth_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[08:43] <B3-3> well,
[08:43] <nathan___> the network icon next to the clock, how do I add that if it was removed?
[08:44] <B3-3> sorry to bother you
[08:44] <jontec> http://pastie.caboo.se/95425 shows the status
[08:44] <Flannel> B3-3: You don't need a root password.
[08:44] <B3-3> bye
[08:44] <fatcatmatt> it's okay, ask anything, B3-3
[08:44] <mathnotmeth> so no one knows?
[08:44] <bullgard4> fatcatmatt, astro76, elzbal, Flannel: Thank you very much for explaining.
[08:44] <fatcatmatt> you won't need the root password, tho.  just use the command "sudo  XPROGRAMX
[08:45] <fatcatmatt> no problem, bullgard4
[08:45] <fatcatmatt> you won't need the root password, tho.  just use the command "sudo  XPROGRAMX" B3-3
[08:45] <cdm10> I need an inexpensive laser printer that'll work fine with Linux, but I just can't find ANYTHING that'll meet my needs. Everything listed as working "perfectly" in the OpenPrinting database is either too expensive, or not manufactured any more. Can anyone help me find a good printer?
[08:45] <fatcatmatt> didnt finish the line, lol
[08:45] <bean-oh> is there a trick to getting the daap plugin working with itunes? i can see the share, but i can't get a listing
[08:45] <jontec> I guess what I'm asking is.. how can I force the removal of a package? I need to remove postgresql-8.1, but I need moodle, too.
[08:46] <julio_> hi
[08:46] <radioman__> hey
[08:46] <fatcatmatt> bean-oh: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/sound/xmms2-plugin-daap
[08:46] <fatcatmatt> hi, julio_
[08:46] <julio_> I have a question about ubuntu and thoshiba laptops
[08:46] <Flannel> jontec: You should be able to remove postgres 8.1 with keeping moodle.  Moodle depends on 8.1 client, not server.
[08:47] <fatcatmatt> just ask, julio_
[08:47] <julio_> ok i have installed on My Satellite U305 toshiba Ubuntu 7.04, but it seems that my sound card is not working
[08:47] <bean-oh> fatcatmatt, i'm using banshee, and i have the banshee-daap installed
[08:47] <julio_> how I can identify the problem
[08:48] <julio_> ?
[08:48] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: Success! I think I had to update the list of repositories, and then check for software updates - it seems to be working now. Thanks for your generous assistance :)
[08:48] <jontec> Flannel: I've uninstalled the server already, but my status http://pastie.caboo.se/95425 is still showing 8.1 as installed... I'm guessing it's because of the client, but I don't know
[08:48] <fatcatmatt> i'm looking, julio_
[08:49] <julio_> thank you, and two things more.
[08:49] <kostkon> professorsnapper, no prob! Happy that you managed to solve the problem!
[08:49] <fatcatmatt> 1 at a time, julio_
[08:49] <julio_> ohh ok
[08:49] <julio_> sorry
[08:49] <fatcatmatt> its okay
[08:49] <nathan___> the network icon next to the clock, how do I add that if it was removed?
[08:49] <Flannel> nathan___: right click the panel > add to panel
[08:50] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: "It's one small step for man..." LOL
[08:50] <fatcatmatt> julio_: do you know what kind of sound card it is, think i have found the fix
[08:50] <ProfessorTom> greets!
[08:51] <ProfessorTom> I have a question about "aptitiude search" What do the letters next to the output mean?
[08:51] <nathan___> Flannel: and then?
[08:51] <professorsnapper> ProfessorTom: greets from one professor to another...
[08:51] <julio_> let me check
[08:51] <julio_> please
[08:51] <Flannel> nathan___: uh, the applet is network manager.  Is it not in there?  (I don't use gnome, so I don't knwo specifically)
[08:51] <vovkav> hi! Is there anyone who had managed to get his ali1535 (AC'97-like) softmodem working with alsa?
[08:52] <ProfessorTom> professorsnapper...this is like deja vu. I have a friend that always goes by snapper...but I know you can't be her because she isn't tech savvy. Greets to ya mate
[08:52] <nathan___> Flannel: no it's not
[08:52] <kostkon> professorsnapper, no joke! You gained more experience with Ubuntu!
[08:53] <yujin> how to filter the system message in xchat,please?
[08:53] <ProfessorTom> Ubuntu just works right off the download. The best part is you only have to update one file in order to change options on a service
[08:53] <julio_> Realtek
[08:53] <julio_> is my sound card
[08:53] <fatcatmatt> okay
[08:53] <ProfessorTom> When using "aptitiude search" what do the letters next to the output mean?
[08:54] <professorsnapper> ProfessorTom: I'm not her, that's for sure (deepens voice).
[08:54] <ProfessorTom> ah ha!
[08:54] <ProfessorTom> "put some bass in that voice!"
[08:55] <Geoffrey2> I have a desktop with an integrated ATI PCI Express video card...I'm presuming I want to activate the ATI restricted driver?
[08:56] <Flannel> ProfessorTom: current state of package (man aptitude, read the second paragraph of the search parameter, it'll tell you all of them)
[08:56] <fatcatmatt> julio_:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3290705
[08:56] <ProfessorTom> oh yeah, another Ubuntu question. Why does Ubuntu not make the command g++ readily available instead forcing users to alias?
[08:56] <n-iCe> hii
[08:56] <ProfessorTom> thank you Flannel
[08:56] <n-iCe> what is flex ? i got this error configure: error: cannot find flex
[08:57] <fatcatmatt> julio_: think you are gonna have sound problems there...lol
[08:57] <Flannel> ProfessorTom: g++ is availble for me
[08:57] <julio_> je je je
[08:57] <Flannel> ProfessorTom: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?searchmode=filelist&word=g%2B%2B&version=feisty&arch=i386  the g++ includes /usr/bin/g++
[08:58] <julio_> can i make my second question?
[08:58] <fatcatmatt> yup, julio_
[08:58] <robert__> yo
[08:58] <ProfessorTom> Flannel: which version of Ubuntu are you running? I was running Dapper and g++ didn't work. I had to alias to g++-4.0
[08:58] <jontec> Flannel: do you think that there would be a configuration file that I can change in order to get 8.2 mapped to the correct port? Can you think of any reason why 8.1 would still be registered?

[08:58] <bullgard4> What is an English equivalent to the German newsgroup de.comp.os.unix.linux.hardware?

[08:58] <Flannel> ProfessorTom: do you have the g++ package installed?
[08:58] <ksathus> Hey, I have a machine with a Realtek 8185-based wireless PCI network card. The latest Ubuntu install CD doesn't detect it, but I'm finding conflicting information about there being a module for that chip with Ubuntu. Can anyone shed some light?
[08:59] <Flannel> jontec: Only thing I can think of is that the config files are causing it.  You didn't --purge when removing (or "complete removal" via synaptic)
[08:59] <ProfessorTom> Flannel yeah. I used apt and g++ workes fine, but i had to alias g++ to g++-4.0
[08:59] <julio_> how i run the 3d desktop configuration, the Beryl Manager is running, the only 3D is when i move a windows from one desktop to another, but how can I see the cube 3d from the demos :-) ?

[09:00] <fatcatmatt> click and hold your middle mouse button, julio_
[09:00] <Flannel> ProfessorTom: using apt to install g++ installs the g++ package.  Which will symlink itself

[09:03] <Flannel> ProfessorTom: Right, g++ is always a symlink.  You didn't have it installed by default because ubuntu doesn't include most compilers by default.  gcc was insalled, because, well, it is.  But not many, if any, C headers or anything.  It's... well, I don't really remember the reason why it's installed by default.  But ubuntu doesn't include a compiler by default

[09:14] <murlidhar> have it installed

[09:14] <ProfessorTom> murlidhar what about g++?
[09:14] <CoasterMaster> murlidhar: did you grab the build-essential package?
[09:15] <mathnotmeth> and then what would i do?
[09:15] <slimjimm1> mathnotmeth: and fumble through the settings until you possibly find one that says 'on-board audio'
[09:15] <slimjimm1> it's happened to me before
[09:15] <murlidhar> will check that

[09:19] <ProfessorTom> Flannel: really? I was going to install the pacakges via "apt-get" but hell...
[09:19] <ProfessorTom> so "sudo apt-get build-essential" then, eh?
[09:19] <Flannel> ProfessorTom: sudo apt-get install build-essential, but yeah
[09:19] <julio_> so far so god
[09:19] <rabidsnail> Is it possible to apt-get from the text installer?
[09:19] <julio_> good
[09:19] <julio_> sorry
[09:20] <ompaul> rabidsnail, not really achievable easiest is to restart and let it choose its own kernel - I had a via c3 and it choose the right one
[09:20] <julio_> :-)
[09:20] <fatcatmatt> good, julio_
[09:20] <n-iCe> hot is to tar.gz ?

[09:25] <madrazr> hi all, I want a small help on kernel building, not a common one though
[09:25] <fatcatmatt> yup
[09:25] <madrazr> I have a tool called NCTUns, its a network Simulator and Emulator. It works only on Fedora 7. When I read its documentation, it said it might work on other distros with similarly patched kernel, but not assured.
[09:25] <madrazr>  So I though of building and installing the Fedora 7 Kernel and I grabbed the .src.rpm of the kernel 2.6.21-1.3194, the one which fedora uses and also extracted it using rpm command on Ubuntu, and according to fedora I have to use rpmbuild command to build the binaries but when I run that it asks me to install few packages
[09:25] <mattva01|sleep> sorry !
[09:26] <madrazr> can some one tell me how to build the package??
[09:26] <Moniker42> how do i set different backgrounds on different desktops?
[09:26] <jontec> Flannel: I ended up having to reinstall 8.1 and purge (simply remove + purge didn't work) and remove + purge 8.2-server and postgresql-common... thanks for cluing me in on the purge option, it would have never worked without it

[09:28] <murlidhar> ompaul  i am tryin to install tranmission from a source file it says it couldn't find the package called libevent .
[09:28] <madrazr> Can some one help me in building the fedora patched kernel on Ubuntu plz?????
[09:28] <fatcatmatt> bean-oh: try this one  http://banshee-project.org/Releases/0.10.4
[09:28] <ompaul> madrazr, not when it needs a dev kernel that is not in the release of ubuntu yet
[09:28] <murlidhar> when i give the command to install libevent it says couldn't find the package
[09:29] <madrazr> ompaul: I did not get u??
[09:29] <bean-oh> fatcatmatt, what about that? thats more than a year old. i'm running banshee 0.12.1
[09:30] <ompaul> murlidhar, so the bottom line is that you need to start searching synaptic for these libraries
[09:30] <ProfessorTom> murlidhar: try sudo apt-get install libevent1
[09:30] <madrazr> ompaul: can u plz explain me correctly?
[09:30] <n-iCe> how do i search for a file?
[09:30] <fatcatmatt> you check google then, bean-oh
[09:30] <XamDM> sometimes my 2 TV-cards get switched, so /dev/video1 is /dev/video0 thats anoying in some applications, is it possible to force a card to a specific device ???
[09:30] <bean-oh> fatcatmatt, of course. tried that first.
[09:31] <ProfessorTom> n-iCe you would use the find command. e.x. "find /tmp -name partOfFileName"
[09:31] <dns_56> yes but you may need to mess with udev to ensure the mapping is correct
[09:31] <murlidhar> ok done since this is the first time i have a compiled can anybody help me how to run transmission
[09:31] <murlidhar> i can't find it in applications

[09:32] <ompaul> madrazr, I did, you will not get help in this channel with development level kernels that are not in the released version of ubuntu - you might want to start with gutsy and see if it compiles on it, however be aware that brings risks of software not working as it is a beta of the next release
[09:32] <ProfessorTom> nice nick livingdaylight
[09:32] <n-iCe> and with ls , how can i see al lthe hide directories files

[09:33] <ProfessorTom> I could never get Pidign to work on Dapper, so don't feel bad
[09:34] <bean-oh> fatcatmatt, did you read my initial question? it sees the itunes shares, but it does not load the list of songs.
[09:34] <madrazr> ompaul: Where can I get info abt the development level kernels?? I am still not understanding how this kernel will be a development level kernel when it is already outdated
[09:35] <Frogzoo> anyone familiar with osd_clock? (displays time as an on screen display/no window) - putting it in gnome sessions, it comes up on login, but then is obscured when gnome starts up - any ideas?
[09:35] <fatcatmatt> im gonna install it and see if i can see shares
[09:36] <murlidhar> thanks ompaul but for the sake of learning i would like to compile not i have don't have  a binary package
[09:36] <ompaul> madrazr, read these urls:  http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases  they may help you understand - we don't run the latest we run the stable and patch for stability
[09:36] <KiphereCE_> so umm.. can I move a swap file partition while I'm still actively in the recovery console?
[09:36] <ionstorm> I have  P4 Hyperthread cpu, how do I find out if Ubuntu is running both CPU's and what can I do to enable it if it isnt, process manager does not show 2 cpu's only 1
[09:36] <KiphereCE_> I apparently jacked something up when making the partitions.
[09:37] <murlidhar> ompaul: i have compiled successfully the program but now i dunno how to run it .
[09:37] <astro76> ionstorm, it should show in system>administration>system monitor, Resources tab
[09:37] <KiphereCE_> cause my linux and swap are at the end of the disk and there's not enough room.
[09:37] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_ did you just install?
[09:37] <ionstorm> astro76, it only shows 1 cpu
[09:37] <ompaul> murlidhar, so type the program name or ./programname and maybe it works
[09:37] <KiphereCE_> yeah, from an iso using the grub thing
[09:37] <onats> im having a problem using azureus. what other bit torrent clients can you guys suggest?
[09:37] <fatcatmatt> bean-oh: did u add the share plug-in?
[09:37] <astro76> ionstorm, my P4 HT shows CPU1 and CPU2 there
[09:37] <ompaul> murlidhar, depends on where it is isnstalled /built
[09:38] <ionstorm> it seems Hyperthreading is disabled on my HT processor, how do I set it
[09:38] <bean-oh> fatcatmatt, that is the plugin.
[09:38] <Moniker42> how do i set different backgrounds on different desktops?
[09:38] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_ so like if you had to, you could reinstall and redo the partitions, right?
[09:38] <astro76> ionstorm, in the bios
[09:38] <ionstorm> astro76,  not mine
[09:38] <KiphereCE_> maybe?
[09:38] <fatcatmatt> mine shows shares and songs, bean-oh
[09:38] <Frogzoo> KiphereCE_: sudo swapoff, sudo swapon - easy, just don't be using a lot of memory when you swapoff
[09:38] <ionstorm> hyperthreading is set
[09:38] <bean-oh> what version of itunes?
[09:38] <KiphereCE_> frog, I'm a linux newb :p
[09:38] <Frogzoo> Moniker42: you don't, can't be done
[09:38] <kdchapman1776> fatcatmatt - I have not read all this post yet but I have the driver loaded with ndiswrapper.  I am able to iwscan and see my router.  When I try to connect to it is where I get problems.  It doesn't seem to want to talk to it.  Any ideas or should I scrap everything and try again?  If I scrap everything...what do I nuke?
[09:39] <Moniker42> Frogzoo, yes it can... i've done it before i just can't remember how
[09:39] <ionstorm> i'll brb reboot
[09:39] <KiphereCE_> right now I have some unpartitioned space at the beginning of the disk, my logical drive is near the end and my linux partition is at the very end.
[09:39] <n-iCe> How do i go to $home ?
[09:39] <Frogzoo> KiphereCE_: use 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda' to find out which is your swap part'n, then 'sudo swapoff /dev/sda#'
[09:39] <livingdaylight> ping nickrud
[09:39] <fatcatmatt> lol kdchapman, do you have a pretty fresh install?
[09:39] <KiphereCE_> swap is hdb5
[09:40] <bullgard4> How can I determine my current loglevel?
[09:40] <KiphereCE_> once its off I can move it though?
[09:40] <Frogzoo> bullgard4: runlevel
[09:40] <Frogzoo> bullgard4: it will be 2
[09:40] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_: honestly, if I were you, I'd just reinstall and pay really close attention to where I put the partitions this time around. I mean, it's not like you're going to loose anything
[09:41] <bullgard4> Frogzoo: Please be more verbose: Are loglevel and runlevel identical terms?
[09:41] <bean-oh> fatcatmatt, what version of itunes?
[09:41] <fatcatmatt> lol kdchapman1772, do you have a pretty fresh install?
[09:42] <fatcatmatt> same thing u got, bean-oh, banshee 0.12.1
[09:42] <Frogzoo> bullgard4: loglevel is a syslog thing, and is set by the app'n
[09:42] <bean-oh> fatcatmatt, what version of *itunes*?
[09:42] <KiphereCE_> hrm, I can't resize my primary parition without unmounting it, that's going to make this a lot harder :P
[09:42] <KiphereCE_> I can't log in cause my linux partition is too small and at the end of the disk heh
[09:42] <livingdaylight> hello
[09:42] <kdchapman1776> fatcatmatt - yes.  my story quickly is I had an Edgy kubuntu with a Cisco card that I upgraded to Feisty.  Then I screwed with things and no wireless worked again.  So I reloaded to Feisty Ubuntu and could not get the cisco card working and Ubuntu taxed my laptop.  So I have decided to try gutsy Xubuntu and the cisco still would not work so I have been fighting this damned linksys card. I am close....so close.  It frustrates.
[09:42] <KiphereCE_> and I think with the partitioning I've done I ate my windows.
[09:42] <bullgard4> Frogzoo: Thank you forexplaining.
[09:43] <Frogzoo> bullgard4: ooohh... there is a loglevel that determines what level logging gets set to console iirc
[09:43] <livingdaylight> guys... is anyone familiar with this page of psychocats? http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome
[09:43] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_, I'm still voting on a reinstall of the OS and repartitioning.
[09:43] <fatcatmatt> easy way, kdchapman1772, get a linksys card
[09:43] <livingdaylight> I've pretty much followed the process to the end, except for removing backup.. but i'm not sure whether i'm operating from Ubuntu or from external usb hard drive
[09:43] <KiphereCE_> the problem is I installed by using grub from the iso on my windows.
[09:44] <KiphereCE_> I think I just ate windows with the partitioning junk I've been doing :p
[09:44] <KiphereCE_> I don't have a CD
[09:44] <kdchapman1776> fatcatmatt - I have an linksys card.
[09:44] <livingdaylight> ping nickrud
[09:44] <A[D] minS> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36856/ "line 12"
[09:44] <ProfessorTom> bummer KiphereCE_
[09:44] <fatcatmatt> oh...dang it, kdchapman1772
[09:45] <A[D] minS> what i have to do to download finish this installation of bcm43xx ?
[09:45] <fatcatmatt> umm...try a clean install of ubuntu at a last resort.  wouldn't know what to get rid of and start over
[09:45] <kdchapman1776> Fatcatmatt - the linksys is the card I am currently trying to configure. I will say that I feel the network manager gui tool is a useless....
[09:45] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_ do you have a second machine that you could download the iso with and burn off?
[09:45] <kdchapman1776> I am getting farther using the terminal commands.
[09:45] <fatcatmatt> probably is, kdchapman1772
[09:46] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_ or for that matter, is there enough room on your current partions to log in and download the iso?
[09:46] <t94xr> cant access tty; job control turned off,
[09:46] <julio_> hi, i'm still have problems with my sound card
[09:46] <t94xr> Ubuntu 7.04
[09:46] <t94xr> anyone able to help?
[09:46] <kdchapman1776> fatcatmatt - here is a question...does the ifup and ifdown commands cease to work when you use ndiswrapper?
[09:46] <julio_> i tried the link, with the command "aplay -l"
[09:47] <julio_> and that returns Intel [HDA Intel]
[09:47] <KiphereCE_> my only cd burner ate itself yesterday
[09:47] <A[D] minS> Setting up bcm43xx-fwcutter (006-1) ...
[09:47] <A[D] minS> --11:43:25--  http://boredklink.googlepages.com/wl_apsta.o
[09:47] <KiphereCE_> yeah, I burned that machine lol. guess I start over tomorrow.
[09:47] <pillowpants> whats the command to edit x11.conf again?
[09:47] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_ what version of Ubuntu did you install?
[09:48] <KiphereCE_> umm
[09:48] <KiphereCE_> 7.0.4?
[09:48] <KiphereCE_> I think
[09:48] <pillowpants> not with nano, but the text mode edit
[09:48] <A[D] minS> this file not found so it cause fail of installation
[09:48] <bean-oh> kdchapman1776, you probably need to build a better driver for your card. like madwifi or other related projects.
[09:48] <fatcatmatt> unsure, kdchapman1772
[09:48] <KiphereCE_> I used the iso/grub thing from here. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows
[09:48] <ionstorm> good evening all
[09:48] <KiphereCE_> pretty sure I just borked everything anyway jacking with the partitions.
[09:48] <fatcatmatt> evenin, ionstorm...well here...good mornin!
[09:49] <KiphereCE_> I was hoping I could extend the linux partition by killing stuff in front of it and moving the swap file.
[09:49] <astro76> A[D] minS, use this instead http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/dists/feisty-cafuego/bcm43xx/
[09:49] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_ when do you need the machine up and running?
[09:49] <A[D] minS> astro76 thx
[09:49] <KiphereCE_> it wont let me extend the linux partition while its mounted and I can't unmount it since its what I'm working in.
[09:49] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_ right
[09:49] <KiphereCE_> I dont' "need" it at all Professor, I'm just setting up my spare box with something other than windows so I can learn
[09:49] <ionstorm> I have a P4 Hyperthread 3.0 ghz with 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP kernel, when I enable hyperthread in my bios, ubuntu refuses to boot, do I need to download a special kernel or set a setting for it to boot properly?
[09:50] <kdchapman1776> bean-oh - does madwifi work with a linksys wpc54g v2?  That you know of right off hand.
[09:50] <ionstorm> what exactly happens is, it reboots during boot
[09:50] <ionstorm> constantly
[09:50] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_ you can always request a CD from Cannonical. It's free
[09:50] <KiphereCE_> meh, I'll just go to a friends house tomorrow and burn it.
[09:50] <ionstorm> and does not enter the os after I set hyperthread in the kernel
[09:50] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_ friends are good too!
[09:50] <KiphereCE_> if my USB wasn't busted on that machine too I'd just use my thumbdrive
[09:50] <ionstorm> could this be a bug or a configuration issue
[09:51] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_ maybe you need to go to the computer store tomorrow instead of your friend's place eh? LOL ;) :D
[09:51] <ionstorm> or doesnt ubuntu support hyperthreading? i will post anything via pastbin as needed, any help will be appreciated
[09:51] <KiphereCE_> this machine is a frankenstein.
[09:51] <bean-oh> kdchapman1776, offhand, no. but i'd google your model, and see if there are any projects that support it
[09:51] <ionstorm> ;]
[09:52] <bean-oh> kdchapman1776, could be the default ubuntu driver doesn't really work with it correctly.
[09:52] <KiphereCE_> I'm loading ubuntu on it to play with, going to set up remote desktop for it and basically use it as a file/media server and toy box to refresh my memory on linux.
[09:52] <KiphereCE_> last time I touched a non windows computer was redhat6 and I was horrible with it then
[09:52] <faileas> hehe
[09:52] <fatcatmatt> KiphereCE_: search for a torrent
[09:52] <livingdaylight> guys... is anyone familiar with this page of psychocats? http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome
[09:52] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_ I remember well the days of RedHat 6
[09:52] <livingdaylight> I've pretty much followed the process to the end, except for removing backup.. but i'm not sure whether i'm operating from Ubuntu or from external usb hard drive
[09:53] <kdchapman1776> bean-oh - I will do that.  I am real close to getting things going with the ndiswrapper.  I just cannot get the card to talk to the router.  it scans and sees it.  it just will not actually connect to it.
[09:53] <faileas> KiphereCE_: might i recommend vmware on windows till you get your feet wet? ;)
[09:53] <KiphereCE_> I'm not wholly unfamiliar with linux, a lot of my network hardware runs bastardized versions of FreeBSD and other flavors
[09:53] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_: I did just that. My little Celeron Ubuntu box is a print server, a file server, a web server and an SSH server.
[09:53] <bean-oh> kdchapman1776, i've had my bouts with that before, tricky stuff when it doesn't work right off the bat
[09:53] <KiphereCE_> just not used to it as a computer operating system. I can get by I'm sure :)
[09:53] <kdchapman1776> fatcatmatt - I appreciate the link you gave me.  I will read it and work some more on this tomorrow.
[09:54] <zippyy> anyone familiar with the TLS bug in aMSN ?
[09:54] <fatcatmatt> good night's sleep always helps me, kdchapman1776
[09:54] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_: have you googled to see if you can install Ubuntu straight off the internet?
[09:54] <kdchapman1776> bean-oh....I understand.  and the frustrating part is knowing you are close....but so far.
[09:54] <KiphereCE_> anyway, thanks for the info. I'll be back tomorrow with a CD in hand and hopefully a success story instead of a slew of questions.
[09:54] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_ don't be afraid to ask questions. That's what we're here for
[09:54] <KiphereCE_> Prof: there's a way but I killed my chances by killing the windows installation. :)
[09:54] <ProfessorTom> kdchapman1776: no shit!
[09:54] <kdchapman1776> fatcatmatt....been telling myself that for a week now....:)
[09:55] <bean-oh> kdchapman1776, in my experience those linksys cards are pretty much crap. probably better off getting something more compatable if possible (unless you don't have a choice)
[09:55] <faileas> KiphereCE_: there might be a way to fix that. there's an app called testdisk that i use when drives get ****ed
[09:55] <pillowpants> how do i fix screen resolution?
[09:55] <ionstorm> I have a P4 Hyperthread 3.0 ghz with 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP kernel, when I enable hyperthread in my bios, ubuntu refuses to boot, do I need to download a special kernel or set a setting for it to boot properly?  Is this a bug? Or a setting issue?
[09:56] <pillowpants> the x11.conf thing
[09:56] <pillowpants> its like dpkg something

[09:56] <julio_> sorry
[09:56] <kdchapman1776> Bean-oh - The thought has crossed my mind.  What do you suggest that is relatively cheap...or do you get what you pay for times ten in the linux world.
[09:56] <julio_> i will try fedora
[09:56] <julio_> bye
[09:57] <julio_> everyone
[09:57] <preaction> julio_, think what you will, good luck
[09:57] <ionstorm> preaction, thankyou for the explaination
[09:57] <julio_> no no
[09:57] <faileas> eheh
[09:57] <julio_> i mean
[09:57] <faileas> last time i tried fedora..
[09:57] <faileas> it didn't even boot
[09:57] <preaction> julio_, it works for us. and stop using "enter" as your only means of punctuation
[09:57] <julio_> ohh
[09:57] <ionstorm> preaction, you seem very smart, can you help me?
[09:57] <ProfessorTom> I love Red Hat/Fedora to death, but I find it unusable and confusing
[09:57] <preaction> ionstorm, no, sorry. never had a CPU with that specific buzzword
[09:58] <thostr> the ubuntu-effects channel is dead
[09:58] <Frogzoo> ionstorm: hyperthreading is enabled per default
[09:58] <julio_> the other thing it will be wait, i'll wait for the next version, probably my sound it will recognize
[09:58] <ProfessorTom> as a friend of mine said regarding Fedora/Red Hat "They have found a lot of solutions in search of problems"
[09:58] <astro76> ionstorm, no, working here with regular generic kernel
[09:58] <thostr> more or less

[09:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about avg - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:59] <anonymouser> :( anyone can help?
[09:59] <ionstorm> Frogzoo, I had it disabled in my bios
[09:59] <ionstorm> then when I enable it, I cant boot
[09:59] <julio_> bye
[09:59] <ProfessorTom> ionstorm: I would imagine that would be the case because the kernel that is trying to load was not meant for hyperthreading
[10:00] <ionstorm> Linux ion 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Fri Aug 31 00:55:27 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
[10:00] <ProfessorTom> ionstorm: which I guess you've figued that part out by now
[10:00] <ionstorm> does this hyperthread?
[10:00] <Frogzoo> ProfessorTom: smp is enabled in the default kernel
[10:00] <Frogzoo> ionstorm: how far does booting get?
[10:00] <ionstorm> not even 2 seconds in
[10:01] <kdchapman1776> Bean-oh - thanks for the suggestions.  I will play with this a little more and consider another wireless card.
[10:01] <ionstorm> doesnt give a log
[10:01] <bean-oh> kdchapman1776, the prism chipset is the most linux friendly, most supported. lots of vanilla brands have them. just find a card in your pricerange
[10:01] <ProfessorTom> Frogzoo: do you think it's loading a bad driver or something?
[10:01] <ionstorm> no error, it just continually reboots
[10:01] <Frogzoo> ProfessorTom: I'm more inclined to think it's a bios problem
[10:01] <bean-oh> kdchapman1776, np
[10:01] <Frogzoo> ionstorm: have you flashed your bios to latest?
[10:01] <ProfessorTom> Frogzoo: makes sense
[10:01] <kdchapman1776> Thanks Bean-oh.  You have a good night or day....whatever the case may be.
[10:01] <ionstorm> Frogzoo, no, i have a dell dimension 3000 and dont know how with ubuntu
[10:02] <johndarc> Hi
[10:02] <bean-oh> kdchapman1776, night here. getting late for me
