[05:27] <marek> i can't get it to actually use fglrx
[05:27] <ubuntu>   FunnyMan3595:It work with INternet explorer and FIrefox.ENter yourip and then you can remotely control you pc
[05:27] <garryb> oh, well, can't help you there
[05:27] <FunnyMan3595> ubuntu: Nothing useful yet.  I'm looking for a way to install wxpython2.6 for python2.5, but the wxpython versions in the repos all use 2.4, as far as I can tell.

[05:28] <ubuntu> !wxpython2.6
[05:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wxpython2.6 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:28] <FunnyMan3595> ubuntu: Oh, you're looking for remote desktop software.
[05:28] <_`XeOn_> cablem102: it didnt work
[05:28] <FunnyMan3595> ubuntu: It's actually called python-wxgtk2.6
[05:28] <wastrel> dooooooooon't paste in here pleaseeeeeeeeee
[05:28] <FunnyMan3595> ubuntu: To put it under python heading, I guess.
[05:28] <marek> oh, sorry
[05:28] <wastrel> marek did you read the instructions on the wikipage?
[05:28] <ubuntu> FunnyMan3595 hmmm but to work with FIrefox
[05:28] <marek> yeah
[05:28] <ubuntu> !python
[05:28] <ubotu> python: An interactive high-level object-oriented language (default version). In component main, is important. Version 2.4.3-11ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 37 kB, installed size 208 kB
[05:28] <cablesm102> _`XeOn_: Sorry about that... I'm looking for an article on how to disable it
[05:28] <FunnyMan3595> ubuntu: What do you want to be able to do.
[05:29] <FunnyMan3595> ?
[05:29] <wastrel> did you add the stuff to your xorg.conf to turn off composite?
[05:29] <ubuntu> FunnyMan3595 to control pc from INternet
[05:29] <loopdee> okay, when I do, sudo iwconfig ath0 ap xx xx xx xx xx xx , it says interface doesn't support IP address, what is wrong here ?
[05:29] <marek> i got fglrx and installed it, ran the aticonfig commands
[05:29] <marek> no errors or anything reported
[05:29] <FunnyMan3595> ubuntu: In what respect?  Full GUI access?  Shell access? Ability to start/stop services?
[05:29] <weijie902> hi i installed edgy server, with the usb-handoff kernel option. now i cant type the double quotes symbol, when i press that button nothing happens, when i press it twice it appears but doesnt work on google
[05:29] <jadacyrus> how can I make sure that cron daemon will execute my script as root?
[05:29] <marek> xorg.conf specifies fglrx
[05:29] <_`XeOn_> no worries anyways i like to research to but thats a minor problem
[05:29] <ubuntu> FunnyMan3595 full GUI access
[05:29] <loopdee> forgot the :
[05:29] <ubuntu> FunnyMan3595 and to stop services too
[05:30] <ubuntu> FunnyMan3595 Shell Access too
[05:30] <wastrel> marek:  did you turn off composite in xorg.conf?
[05:30] <marek> yeah
[05:30] <wastrel> is the fglrx module loading?
[05:30] <FunnyMan3595> ubuntu: Okay, you need remote desktop apps.  Once you've got GUI access, you can do whatever you like from there.  You really need to set up shell access to do the GUI access anyway.
[05:30] <marek> how do i check that?
[05:30] <ubuntu> FunnyMan3595 and from where i can download it.
[05:30] <wastrel> lsmod |grep fglrx
[05:31] <marek> i got two responses fglrx and agpgart
[05:31] <FunnyMan3595> ubuntu: Next question: Why?  Is it just so you can access your home desktop while at work and vice-versa, or is it a machine that you won't have physical access to for long periods of time?
[05:32] <Sergo> hellhello
[05:32] <Sergo> how to run command in ubuntu
[05:32] <wastrel> which command?
[05:32] <ubuntu> Funnyman3595 becouse if sometimes i want to enter in the pc.To enter without problem.To do everything like i'm in the pc
[05:32] <weijie902> Sergo: go to the terminal
[05:32] <BlueEagle> sergo: ALT+F2 or open a terminal emulator.
[05:32] <weijie902> nah use gnome-terminal
[05:33] <ubuntu> Funnyman3595 man try remotely anywhere it is good.
[05:33] <shatrat> use terminal window from Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
[05:33] <Sergo> wastrel: i want to connet to an client from lan

[05:33] <nrdb> Hi I am having trouble getting a laptop to connect to the internet via a dialup connection.  I have the ppp0 interface up, it is receiving/transmitting packets, 'route' has four lines one says 'default * <IP_ADDRESS> ... ppp0' but I can't seem to ping anything (including ip addresses) can anyone help?
[05:33] <FunnyMan3595> ubuntu: Easiest method is through System->Preferences->Remote Desktop.  That lets you set up a VNC copy of the desktop that you see, for as long as you're logged in.
[05:34] <ubuntu> Funnyman3595 i try it yestarday but the connection didn't was very fast
[05:34] <marek> wastrel: i noticed a line that aticonfig put in my xorg.conf => Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
[05:34] <marek> should i change that to false?
[05:34] <ubuntu> FunnyMan3595 and this was from computer from lan computer
[05:34] <Sergo> \\<IP_ADDRESS>
[05:34] <Sergo> weijie902 : and?
[05:34] <Sergo> go to terminal...
[05:34] <Sergo> i'm a linux newbie..
[05:34] <FunnyMan3595> ubuntu: Yeah, the problem is that a *lot* of information goes across the connection to the monitor.
[05:35] <ubuntu> FunnyMan3595 there need to be some program like remotely anywhere for Ubuntu
[05:35] <weijie902> applications->utilities>terminal
[05:35] <wastrel> marek:  i don't have that at all, comment it out maybe...
[05:35] <Sergo> BlueEagle: thanks! work
[05:35] <Sergo> -)
[05:35] <weijie902> Sergo: i think..
[05:35] <ubuntu> Funnyman3595 in this program it ask you in what access to enter.Like java to show screen,Adobe flash,Firefox or Html pictures.
[05:36] <wolfjb> totem-* is has some serious problems - currently causing failure of other packages to install/uninstall - anyone with similar experiences or a fix?
[05:36] <FunnyMan3595> ubuntu: The other one I use fairly often is just a simple ssh -X from another linux box.  It doesn't send the raw graphics info, just the info used to build the graphics.
[05:36] <marek> k, and in my log it says fglrx(0): Direct rendering disabled. How do i enable that in fglrx?

[05:37] <ubuntu> Funnyman3595 hmmm that is bad man,becouse from where i enter they only have installed WIndows XP
[05:37] <wastrel> marek:  are you using beryl/xgl ?
[05:37] <wastrel> or trying to?
[05:37] <ubuntu> Funnyman3595 and i want one program to work for all OS
[05:37] <marek> trying to
[05:37] <marek> at least try it out
[05:37] <wastrel> aiglx may be your problem.
[05:37] <AmbientMst1> Can someone help me with the install of Ubuntu?
[05:37] <wastrel> i, however know nothing about beryl
[05:38] <FunnyMan3595> ubuntu: VNC will, actually, you can set up windows servers as well.
[05:38] <FunnyMan3595> AmbientMst1: What stage are you at?  Just starting, or trying to fix a problem?
[05:38] <wastrel> ask on #ubuntu-xgl maybe
[05:38] <ubuntu> FunnyMan3595 yes i see it yestarday but it work slow,and how i say it was from lan connection.
[05:38] <AmbientMst1> I'm trying to fix a problem
[05:38] <AmbientMst1> I stick in the boot disk
[05:38] <marek> k, thanks a lot wastrel
[05:38] <AmbientMst1> And it won't work
[05:38] <AmbientMst1> I get the screen and everything
[05:38] <intelligentfool> wow, this is my first time using IRC believe it or not, i like
[05:38] <AmbientMst1> Then when I say Start and Install
[05:39] <AmbientMst1> It says IO Error: Boot disk cannot be read
[05:39] <FunnyMan3595> ubuntu: Yeah, the problem with VNC is that it's a graphics-based approach.  Basically, you're streaming a movie of the contents of the desktop.
[05:39] <weijie902> hi i installed edgy server, with the usb-handoff kernel option. now i cant type the double quotes symbol, when i press that button nothing happens, when i press it twice it appears but doesnt work on google
[05:39] <AmbientMst1> But it checked itself and there's no defects!
[05:39] <ubuntu> Funnyman3595 hmmm very bad
[05:40] <FunnyMan3595> ubuntu: There may be something better out there in FOSS, but I don't know about it.
[05:40] <Erb> Where do I go to configure new hardware?
[05:40] <adamwest> guys how do you choose a login screen? every time i logout the system hangs :\
[05:40] <ubuntu> Funnyman3595 they need to make something like this http://www.remotelyanywhere.com/
[05:40] <FunnyMan3595> ubuntu: When RA goes open source, we'll be happy to make a fork.  Until then, we gots to make our own stuffs.
[05:41] <elyon225> Okay, so in an attempt to fix my staticy sound, I removed my PCI sound card and enabled the onboard.  Now, I have NO sound.  I followed the "DebuggingSoundProblems" in the Ubuntu docs and aplay and KMix both show the correct device, but I still have no sound.  Any ideas?
[05:41] <ubuntu> Funnyman3595 hmm can you make something like RA
[05:41] <intelligentfool> has anyone else had any problems with Beryl causing a logout?
[05:41] <intelligentfool> if i hit "shift + backspace" i get logged out
[05:41] <FunnyMan3595> ubuntu: And that's nontrivial.  Saying we want "something like RA" is complicated, it's a big piece of software.
[05:42] <ubuntu> Funnyman3595 no man it is onlye 6 mb
[05:42] <BlueEagle> intelligentfool: That's a known "feature" and it's listed in the faq iirc.
[05:42] <jrib> intelligentfool: are you using xgl?
[05:42] <intelligentfool> doh
[05:42] <poquedoraqu> I stink at this hardware stuff. I have a fan, a wierd thing with some sort of adhesive on top of it, a tube of heat sink silicone, and no instructions.
[05:42] <intelligentfool> yea
[05:42] <FunnyMan3595> ubuntu: Have you ever looked at how much text 6mb is?
[05:42] <BlueEagle> intelligentfool: #ubuntu-xgl
[05:42] <ubuntu> Funnyman3595 now i download it to try is it work with wine
[05:42] <kitche> ubuntu there is tons of programs like that check out sourceforge there is probably an app like that
[05:42] <ubuntu> kitche where to look man
[05:42] <jrib> intelligentfool: it's a "feature" of xgl.  Google for xgl shift backspace  and you should get a workaround.  Uses xmomdmap iirc
[05:42] <FunnyMan3595> ubuntu: A full-length novel fits in a MB or two.  That's *big*
[05:42] <intelligentfool> ah
[05:43] <kitche> ubuntu, sourceforge.net
[05:43] <intelligentfool> thats a pretty anoying 'feature'
[05:43] <mitrovarr> what's the  best program for remote controlling a ubuntu machine over a lan?
[05:43] <ubuntu> Funnyman3595 maybe some day it will be released.
[05:43] <adamwest> guys is there a way to configure the login screen from xfce? it hangs whenever i logout and if i restart it's this weird login instead of the normal one
[05:43] <ubuntu> Funnyman3595 did you make the phyton
[05:43] <BlueEagle> mitrovarr: imo that would be ssh
[05:43] <FunnyMan3595> AmbientMst1: What's the delay between pressing "Start and Install" and seeing that error?
[05:43] <AngryElf> is there anyway to disable the "sorry there's been a crash dialog......" dialog?
[05:44] <AngryElf> :/
[05:44] <ubuntu> mirtovarr VNC
[05:44] <mitrovarr> BlueEagle:  Oh, I didn't mean like that.  I meant graphical.  Ssh is great, though.
[05:44] <BlueEagle> mitrovarr: So did I tbh.
[05:44] <ubuntu> kitche thanks for the link
[05:45] <BlueEagle> mitrovarr: I run quanta over ssh on a regular basis.
[05:45] <ubuntu> mitrovarr VNC
[05:45] <mitrovarr> BlueEagle:  I'll look into it
[05:45] <mitrovarr> thanks guys
[05:45] <valehru> Hey guys, I'm positive that ndiswrapper is installed and that the driver has been added to it.  However my wifi card is not showing up in the network manager.
[05:45] <valehru> any hints?
[05:45] <ubuntu> lebowski do you know PICHAGA
[05:45] <lebowski> ubuntu, no
[05:45] <adamwest> GUYS is there a way to reinstall this whole system with an environment i choose? it seems any time i try to install a new DE something bad happens D:
[05:45] <ubuntu> lebowski ok
[05:45] <lebowski> ubuntu, who/what is that?
[05:46] <mitrovarr> the hope is to use a useless slow laptop to control a more interesting computer
[05:46] <ubuntu> lebowski go in they forum on Lebowski they know me.
[05:46] <elyon225> Okay, so in an attempt to fix my staticy sound, I removed my PCI sound card and enabled the onboard.  Now, I have NO sound.  I followed the "DebuggingSoundProblems" in the Ubuntu docs and aplay and KMix both show the correct device, but I still have no sound.  Any ideas?
[05:46] <AngryElf> does anyone know how to disable the "start new session/restore session" dialog in Firefox that comes up after a crash/improper shutdown/whatever....?
[05:46] <ubuntu> Funnyman3595 bad i can't install RA on wine becouse it use .msi
[05:47] <FunnyMan3595> AngryElf: Lemme look...
[05:47] <shatrat> elyon225, open up alsamixer in terminal and make sure nothing important is muted, see that it is looking at the proper device?
[05:47] <valehru> AngryElf, quit firefox gracefully, via File -> quit
[05:47] <shatrat> AngryElf, you can also change some settings in about:config to disable it, but I forget exactly which ones
[05:47] <valehru> So does anyone know how I can get this wifi card to appear in my network manager?
[05:47] <AngryElf> valehru, yea, I'll try that next time it crashes
[05:48] <AngryElf> shatrat, yea, all the FAQs say to change browser.sessionstore.enabled  to false -- well it's not there
[05:48] <FunnyMan3595> AngryElf: Zing.
[05:48] <elyon225> shatrat: Yep... not muted and it shows the right device.
[05:48] <shatrat> AngryElf: create one
[05:48] <gnoodles> Hi Everyone...
[05:48] <AngryElf> shatrat, how?
[05:49] <ubuntu> ok bye i'm going to sleep
[05:49] <weijie902> hi i installed edgy server, with the usb-handoff kernel option. now i cant type the double quotes symbol, when i press that button nothing happens, when i press it twice it appears but doesnt work on google
[05:49] <AngryElf> shatrat, got it, didn't know I could create one, thanx :)
[05:49] <BlueEagle> weijie902: By double quotes do you mean "?
[05:49] <shatrat> AngryElf: right click and create a New  Boolean with the value false
[05:49] <gnoodles> Anyone know if there's a way to add a "restart into Windows" option in the restart dialog box? IE, SO I don't need to be there for the Grub screen?
[05:49] <shatrat> youre welcome
[05:50] <weijie902> BlueEagle: yeah
[05:50] <weijie902> BlueEagle: and the single quote
[05:50] <weijie902> BlueEagle: and the single quote
[05:50] <BlueEagle> weijie902: '
[05:50] <weijie902> BlueEagle: yes
[05:50] <weijie902> BlueEagle: same key
[05:50] <shatrat> elyon225: I wish I could be more use, but sound confuses me too in linux.  Id check out the ubuntuforums.org multimedia forums and do some searching around about your chipset
[05:50] <BlueEagle> weijie902: Whichs keyboard layout are you using?
[05:50] <weijie902> BlueEagle: ithink its the server kernel
[05:50] <weijie902> BlueEagle: us intl
[05:51] <tom47> gnoodles is this a frequent requirement?
[05:51] <valehru> ok, I have the ndiswrapper driver installed for my BCM4310 card.  I get bcmwl5          driver installed, hardware present .  I have modprobe ndiswrapper; and still the wifi card is not appearing, the light isnt even turned on for it to signal that it is working.  This is the same driver I use for windows which works perfectly.  Help is needed here.
[05:51] <BlueEagle> weijie902: Oh, I wouldn't know about that. Might it be a dead key?
[05:51] <BlueEagle> weijie902: ie. nodeadkeys might help.
[05:51] <gnoodles> Not frequent, but when I need it, it's annoying to have to sit here waiting for the computer to restart...
[05:51] <FunnyMan3595> gnoodles: Sounds like a good feature, but I'm not sure if there's an easy way to do it.
[05:51] <Morydd> when trying to load phpmyadmin, I'm getting "Cannot load session extension. Please check your PHP configuration." any thoughts
[05:51] <BlueEagle> valehru: Do you need to upload firmware?
[05:51] <weijie902> BlueEagle: it works (not correctly) when i hit it twice
[05:51] <FunnyMan3595> gnoodles: You can reset the default via /boot/grub/menu.lst...
[05:51] <shatrat> valehru: maybe you should try installing a different application to manage it, I use the NetworkManager thing from the gnome project and it works great
[05:51] <tom47> gnoodles yes i agree ... i solved it by running windows inside a vmware server in ubuntu
[05:52] <weijie902> BlueEagle: and i cant do a google search for an exact phrase with that pseudo-symbol that appears
[05:52] <BlueEagle> weijie902: That indicates it being a dead key like ^ for making  and so on. Try hitting it and then hitting o or a
[05:52] <tom_> kraziness
[05:52] <FunnyMan3595> tom47: What are you using?
[05:52] <tom47> gnoodles the other advantage s that way you can get files readily to and from both os environments
[05:52] <valehru> BlueEagle, no I don't need to upload firmware, why would I?
[05:53] <gnoodles> I've contemplated that... So far haven't gotten around to it.
[05:53] <BlueEagle> valehru: Because many wireless cards needs to have firmware uploaded to work.
[05:53] <tom47> FunnyMan3595: would you like to be more specific???
[05:53] <gnoodles> How compatible is it? Any problem apps?
[05:53] <tom47> gnoodles i find it works very well
[05:53] <valehru> shatrat, I have network-manager and  network-manager-gnome installed
[05:53] <FunnyMan3595> tom47: For the topic at hand, running windows inside ubuntu.  Or am I being dense and now pounding my head since it's called "vmware"...
[05:53] <Sergo_> hello
[05:53] <tom47> gnoodles as far as i can see its by far the most straightforward way if you must have windows available on the same pc
[05:53] <gnoodles> I assume that it won't work for things like games, correct?
[05:53] <tom_> hello
[05:54] <shatrat> valehru: I think blueeagle is onto something.
[05:54] <valehru> BlueEagle, I am using the original firmware for this driver, bcmwl5.inf
[05:54] <FunnyMan3595> tom47: I'm betting on density.
[05:54] <weijie902> BlueEagle: oh.. ill try that when i get home
[05:54] <BlueEagle> weijie902: ie. are you getting  instead of "?
[05:54] <weijie902> BlueEagle: yes
[05:54] <Marupa> hi, I'm trying to access a windows XP network share on ubuntu, but I can't get access to it.  I know I can see it, because I've seen it before.
[05:54] <Sergo_> can i run \\COMPNAME with ALT+F2 ?
[05:54] <D7k> would you say an ibook g4 1ghz is deffinately ready for a life of ubuntu?
[05:54] <BlueEagle> weijie902: Then it's your keymap that is borked.
[05:54] <weijie902> BlueEagle: oh yes!
[05:54] <Sergo_> BlueEagle
[05:54] <BlueEagle> sergo_?
[05:54] <Sergo_> can be runned \\COMPNAME with ALT+F2 ?
[05:54] <gnoodles> FunnyMan3595: Yes, he's talking about vmware
[05:54] <valehru> shatrat, I'm using the original firmware that works 100% with XP.
[05:54] <tom47> FunnyMan3595: i have VMWare Server running in ubuntu.  I then run windows inside that .... beats the dual boot for the reasons stated
[05:54] <weijie902> BlueEagle: dpkg-reconfigure?
[05:55] <FunnyMan3595> tom47: I assume it can just boot off of an existing windows partition?
[05:55] <BlueEagle> sergo_: What do you hope to achieve with running that? Have you got a program named \COMPNAME in your path?
[05:55] <kitche> valehru, if your using ndiswrapper then you don't need firmware
[05:55] <shatrat> valehru: to get my broadcom working with ndiswrapper I followed a how-to on the ubuntuforums and it worked right away, I dont know if there is a similar how-to for whatever your chipset is but Id start looking
[05:55] <Sergo_> BlueEagle i try to get on local server in local area connection
[05:55] <tom47> you boot up ubuntu as normal ... kicjk i=off vmware and ask it to start windows for you
[05:56] <shatrat> I thought firmware was the whole point of the wrapper? I should take up knitting or something easy
[05:56] <valehru> kitche, you definitely need firmware....thats the point
[05:56] <BlueEagle> sergo_: Ahh. Well that would be up to the gnome window manager or application to decide. I don't use gnome nor do I use smb so I wouldn't know.
[05:56] <tom47> windows in vmware has a special file called xxxx.vmx (inet alia) and that is the windows virtual disk
[05:56] <gnoodles> Does it work with things like games?
[05:56] <tom47> gnoodles its just like running windows
[05:56] <Sergo_> in kubuntu there was an application "Run Command"
[05:56] <shatrat> gnoodles: no 3D acceleration in vmware
[05:57] <Sergo_> easy
[05:57] <Sergo_> ..
[05:57] <shatrat> its alt F2 sergo
[05:57] <kitche> valehru, then get the firmware not hard to make it or find it but the .inf is not the firmware
[05:57] <weijie902> BlueEagle: dpkg-reconfigure console-common.. aha found it
[05:57] <tom47> gnoodles shtrat may be right i dont play games as such
[05:57] <shatrat> and I believe you can right click the gnome-panel and add a Run Command button to it
[05:57] <valehru> shatrat, I'm looking, but im in china at the moment and ubuntuforums.org is not accessible here due to the internet outage...slow as hell over here, a lot of US sites are unavailable.
[05:57] <weijie902> BlueEagle: youre sure its the keymap right?
[05:57] <BlueEagle> weijie902: good stuff
[05:57] <gnoodles> Thanks. I assumed games would be a problem. Not a problem since I rarely have time to play them anyway...
[05:57] <BlueEagle> weijie902: quite.
[05:57] <shatrat> valehru: whats your card and Ill do some looking
[05:58] <weijie902> BlueEagle: thanks !!
[05:58] <BlueEagle> weijie902: np
[05:58] <tarelerulz> Do you know of any program for window that can skrink ntfs partition that is free?
[05:58] <Sergo_> shatrat when i'm trying to access \\server there is error messeage
[05:58] <Sergo_> ..
[05:58] <valehru> shatrat, 01:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4310 UART (rev 01)
[05:58] <weijie902> going for lunch bye
[05:58] <Marupa> Any ideas about why I can't see network shares?
[05:59] <shatrat> Sergo_: can you not see it in Places -> Network Servers?
[05:59] <andre_> does anybody know how to configure a printer attached to a second pc that is running xp. both on a wired connection with router
[05:59] <gnoodles> Anyway, back to my original question, no one knows how to set the grub default for the next reboot before shutting down?
[05:59] <BlueEagle> andre_: That would be trough samba
[05:59] <Sergo_> shatrat maybe, but i configure the network in liveCd
[06:00] <Sergo_> maybe not at all
[06:00] <shatrat> valehru: THere is a how-to for that, its almost the same as the card I have. join #shatrat and if you cant get through to the link I can try and send you the page
[06:00] <elyon225> Okay, I've ruled out a hardware issue for my sound having so much static noise.  Anyone else have any ideas?  I've tried using both OSS and ALSA.
[06:00] <andre_> blue eaglez:  i have to install samba i thought samba was for older pc
[06:00] <shatrat> elyon225: try turning the volume down to like 80%
[06:01] <shatrat> mine is staticy too at 100%
[06:01] <tom47> gnoodles you could edit /boot/grub/menu.lst but that is sort of more trouble than its worth for one off situations
[06:01] <BlueEagle> andre_: samba is the *nix implementation of the SMB protocol. Windows shares pritners using this protocol.
[06:01] <BlueEagle> printers*
[06:01] <elyon225> shatrat: Hmm... I went all the way down to about 25% and it still is.
[06:02] <andre_> ok installing it now
[06:02] <Sergo_> hey
[06:02] <tarelerulz> I wanted to shrink my ntfs partition so I could use the free of a ext3 partion and then  copy  The need files for ubuntu to the partioins so I could install ubuntu with out useing and cd .
[06:02] <gnoodles> Yep. I was hoping for some sort of automated solution. I suppose that I could write a shell script, but I was hoping someone had already done it.
[06:02] <Sergo_> shatrat: but linux understand if i use \\comp i want to access an local area computer?
[06:02] <Sergo_> in ALT+f2
[06:02] <hyphenated> Sergo_: no
[06:03] <gnoodles> Which version of VMWare do you use? Workstation?
[06:03] <hyphenated> Sergo_: try smb://comp/ instead
[06:03] <tom47> Server
[06:03] <xp9542> hi guys, I'm having trouble writing to my newly mounted drive as a user, I basically installed a new hard drive formatted it as fat32, and then added the following: /dev/hdb1 /media/storage vfat rw,user 0 0 to my fstab file, but I can't write to the drive unless I act as root
[06:03] <tom47> the free Server
[06:03] <valehru> shatrat, thanks...have joined the channel
[06:03] <kitche> gnoodles, http://sidvind.com/wiki/GRUB:_Boot_another_OS_once
[06:03] <xp9542> anyone know how I can get user permissions to the drive? I tried chmod 777 on the folder as root, but that didn't really help
[06:03] <Sergo_> hyphenated in alt+f2  smb://comp/ ?
[06:03] <Sergo_> ;)
[06:04] <Sergo_> i'll try
[06:04] <hyphenated> Sergo_: for KDE, it's the equivalent of \\comp, I think (but am not certain) that it's the same for GNOME
[06:04] <Sergo_> in kde yes
[06:05] <Sergo_> sorry, but i'm asking for xubuntu
[06:05] <Sergo_> not gnome
[06:05] <Sergo_> is there diference?
[06:05] <Sergo_> any
[06:05] <hyphenated> of course there are differences :-)
[06:05] <tarelerulz> Sergo is xubuntu the version for the xbox
[06:06] <hyphenated> tarelerulz: no, it's the version that uses XFCE (a window manager) as the default instead of GNOME
[06:06] <kitche> tarelerulz, xubuntu has xfce has a desktop environment
[06:06] <gnoodles> kitche:  Thanks, that's exactly what I wanted.
[06:06] <cabrito> jeje
[06:06] <cabrito> hi
[06:06] <gnoodles> tom47: Thanks for the info on vmware. I'll try it out.
[06:06] <Erb> How do I add another monitor to xorg.conf? I am trying to attach a 19" to a notebook and it won't pick up the correct resolution.
[06:06] <tom47> nw
[06:07] <elyon225> Just wanted to let everyone know the I fixed my sound static problem.  All I needed to do was turn the volume in each offending program all the way to 100%.
[06:07] <Sergo_> i'll ask in #xubuntu
[06:07] <cabrito> i do have the same trouble Erb, i cant see 1200 in my desktop
[06:07] <nothlit> !xubuntu | Sergo_
[06:07] <ubotu> Sergo_: xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome. For more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop". | For support, see #xubuntu | See also: !ubuntu and !xubuntu-channels
[06:07] <nothlit> Sergo_, and thunar has no samba browsing support
[06:08] <tapas> damn feisty installer says: "ext3 creation of filesystem in partition #1 of ide1 master (hda) faile
[06:08] <tapas> d
[06:09] <tapas> ah, i'm stupid
[06:09] <akd> Anybody here use a System76 laptop?
[06:09] <Marupa> how do you change the workgroup on Ubuntu?
[06:09] <tapas> something mounted /dev/hda1
[06:10] <tapas> but it doesn't show up in mount otput
[06:10] <tapas> unmounting it worked though
[06:10] <cablesm102> akd, no.. do you? I've been wondering about them
[06:10] <akd> Marupa, check here: http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/linux_beginner_books/unofficial_ubuntu_starter_guide/index_105.html
[06:11] <Marupa> thank you

[06:11] <cabrito> i catch some trouble when i'll try to put in the console $sudo ./unload
[06:11] <SurfnKid> is there an Edgy eft DVD ISO???
[06:11] <cablesm102> SurfnKid, I think so...
[06:11] <cabrito> but i get this error !!
[06:11] <SurfnKid> !edgy
[06:11] <ubotu> Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) is the latest version of Ubuntu. Upgrading to Edgy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades - Downloading: http://www.ubuntu.com/download - Release Notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseNotes

[06:11] <cabrito> why ?
[06:11] <akd> tom47, I think he was referring to Workgroups in relation to Samba
[06:12] <SurfnKid> cablesm102: thx
[06:12] <kitche> cablesm102, that script has an extra ( in it
[06:12] <squeaks> hey, how can i find what package I need to install to get readline.h on my ubuntu system?
[06:12] <noobie0057> hello, is there a way to change a group of text files all at once?  (delete a line that meets a regex expression?)
[06:12] <tapas> squeaks: libreadline-dev
[06:12] <cablesm102> cablesm102, what has an extra (? i didn't send anything...

[06:13] <squeaks> tapas, thanks!
[06:13] <tapas> [guessing without having ubuntu in front of me :)]
[06:13] <squeaks> yea, i'm betting
[06:13] <kitche> cablesm102, that wasn't you tab complete got in the way
[06:13] <kitche> cabrito, there is an extra ( which shouldn't be in that script
[06:14] <arrenlex> squeaks, tapas: libreadline5-dev
[06:14] <squeaks> noobie0057, there are tons of ways to do this, i've done it with perl, probably, but you might try looking at things like awk, sed, etc
[06:15] <tapas> and the feisty installer always messes up my x display after selecting the keyboard layout
[06:15] <tapas> switching to console and back fixes it though
[06:15] <tapas> [kubuntu that is]
[06:15] <noobie0057> squeaks: thanks, I know I could do it in ruby,, but I was hoping for a command line type solution
[06:15] <riotkittie> ok. stupid question time. is it possible to enter a command in a tty and have it run in X instead? :D
[06:16] <tapas> riotkittie: yes
[06:16] <kitche> riotkittie, no
[06:16] <tapas> :)
[06:16] <riotkittie> uh.
[06:16] <tapas> you have to set the DISPLAY variable accordingly
[06:16] <tapas> and configure your x server to accept that connection
[06:16] <riotkittie> tapas: ah, ok. thank you :)
[06:16] <tapas> [which might be non trivial]
[06:17] <noobie0057> perhaps pipe a cat command to >> if it doesn't match a regex ?
[06:17] <squeaks> noobie0057, do you know grep -v ?
[06:18] <noobie0057> I'm not familiar with -v ,, I'm looking it up ..
[06:18] <tapas> i wonder how many apps survive my changing the system from debian unstable to kubuntu feisty under their feet
[06:18] <tapas> [taking my homedir with me]
[06:19] <squeaks> noobie0057, my guess would be a bash script, perhaps a one liner of: for each name in ls, grep -v $(name) > $(name)

[06:24] <SurfnKid> could anyone give me a link
[06:24] <SurfnKid> to download edgy eft
[06:24] <SurfnKid> ISO DVD?
[06:24] <SurfnKid> please
[06:24] <riotkittie> SurfnKid: you should be able to find it on ubuntu.com
[06:24] <SurfnKid> I cant seeemt o find it
[06:24] <riotkittie> if not, its on quite a few torrent sites
[06:24] <SurfnKid> ah
[06:24] <SurfnKid> thats what i need ok ill chec
[06:25] <AmbientMst1> I downloaded Edgy and burned it, but it doesn't work
[06:25] <Marupa> Hmmm, that site didn't work really.  That's for hosting. I want to view.
[06:25] <riotkittie> AmbientMst1: elaborate on "doesnt work"?
[06:25] <Marupa> I need to figure out why I can't view windows shares from Ubuntu.
[06:26] <tapas> Marupa: try nmblookup "*"
[06:26] <riotkittie> Marupa: do you have samba and smbfs installed?
[06:26] <Marupa> Yes, i do.
[06:26] <Marupa> and that didn't show up with any shares, tapas.
[06:26] <yopad> question:  if a program is said to be for kde...say Kaffenie...can i use it under ubuntu gnome?
[06:26] <Marupa> Yes, yopad.
[06:27] <tarelerulz> When you resize a partition does that mean you take out of the free space on that partition?
[06:27] <tapas> Marupa: then it's probably a firewall ;)
[06:27] <riotkittie> Marupa: are you, by chance, attempting to view them through the Network/Windows PC / whatever in Nautilus?
[06:27] <yopad> why do they say its for kde ...and one is for something else
[06:27] <shatrat> yopad: yes, but you'll probably have to install lots of dependencies a long with it
[06:27] <Marupa> I doubt it, tapas.  I was able to see it the day I installed.
[06:27] <yopad> thanks guys
[06:27] <Marupa> I try to open smb://blah/share
[06:27] <AmbientMst1> Back
[06:27] <AmbientMst1> Oh
[06:27] <AmbientMst1> It "doesn't boot"
[06:28] <riotkittie> Marupa: try smb://ip.adress.here/share ?
[06:29] <riotkittie> AmbientMst1: doesnt boot as in you go right to windows, or doesnt boot as you get some kind of error during the boot process ?
[06:29] <AmbientMst1> Error during boot
[06:29] <AmbientMst1> It works fine
[06:29] <AmbientMst1> Right up until
[06:29] <AmbientMst1> I say Start Or Install Ubuntu
[06:29] <riotkittie> AmbientMst1: and then ?
[06:29] <AmbientMst1> I/O Error: Boot disk cannot be read

[06:30] <Marupa> riotkittie, that works.
[06:30] <AmbientMst1> Sigh
[06:30] <shatrat> Xcalibre: its not really a problem, it just means that that medibuntu repository isnt signed, or you havent added their key
[06:30] <riotkittie> Xcalibre: ask the medibuntu people ?
[06:31] <Xcalibre> k
[06:31] <noiesmo> Xcalibre, answer here http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repository.php
[06:31] <cabrito> i need help !! I can't install my Wireless Card. I'm looking into a tutorial. But i get an error when a put $su ./unload
[06:31] <Marupa> so the name resolution's failing, somehow.
[06:31] <noiesmo> Xcalibre, add the key as per instruction
[06:31] <ydnar> Can somebody tell me why Edgy recognizes my IPW2200BG as eth1 instead of wlan0? It makes it difficult for me to connect to wireless networks.

[06:32] <kitche> ydnar, becuase that's what linux devices are called think wlan0 is only used by ndiswrapper
[06:32] <Marupa> just add the share name to the hosts?
[06:32] <ydnar> kitche, is there a way for me to fix this?
[06:32] <slap_me> i dont know what happened to my ubuntu

[06:35] <slap_me> it wouldnt let me open up anything...it would try to load...but then it would just close out....so i tried to reboot X...didnt work
[06:35] <kitche> slap_me, what does tty1 say?
[06:35] <GentooPWN> shatrat do I have to fsck my linux everytime I use it?
[06:35] <slap_me> says like 'mikejanssen login:'
[06:35] <shatrat> GentooPWN: only if that gets you off.
[06:36] <kitche> slap_me, ok can you log in?
[06:36] <shatrat> GentooPWN: I use it all the time
[06:36] <slap_me> in the tty1 yes...
[06:36] <gansinho> hello, does anybody used an ap called aptoncd?
[06:36] <slap_me> it lets me login
[06:36] <slap_me> then it gives me the terminal thing...but i dont know waht to do from there...im a 3 day old ubuntu user...heh
[06:36] <tarelerulz> I want to make a partition for linux ,but I don't want to use a cd . Is there program for windows that can make a ext3 partition out of the free space in ntfs partiton.
[06:36] <GentooPWN> shatrat it says its for Ext2 only, my part is ext3
[06:36] <kitche> slap_me, ok do this sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[06:36] <dwid> i finally got ubuntu to install on another hd , a 6 gig one, it says i cant access the other 160 gig drive, says unable to mount, how do i fix this
[06:36] <dwid> ?
[06:37] <kitche> GentooPWN, ext3 is ext2 just with journaling
[06:37] <shatrat> GentooPWN: Ext3 is the same as ext2, but with Journaling
[06:37] <Marupa> Anyone here have any experience with off-brand wireless devices?
[06:37] <Manstein> tarelerulz, try Partition Magic
[06:37] <slap_me> what will that do?
[06:37] <gansinho> is there anyway to install a package without its dependencies?
[06:37] <shatrat> GentooPWN: so it reads and writes just fine for most use
[06:37] <kitche> slap_me, should restart X
[06:37] <gansinho> like to force install a package
[06:37] <tarelerulz> Thanks  Manstein
[06:37] <slap_me> it was saying like 'no screen found' what does that mean
[06:37] <kitche> slap_me, means your X is messed up
[06:38] <m12> I accidentally deleted by GnomeBaker icon from the application menu and can't get it back.  I even tried  complete removal from synaptic and reinstalled.  How do I get it back (without manually creating one).
[06:38] <gnoodles> Well -that- didn't work...
[06:38] <dstaudt> hi all, i'm noticing that sustained network throughput over wireless is ~500Kb/s vs ~700Kb/s in WinXP (same hardware)...any ideas on how to improve on this?

[06:39] <krinns> hi all
[06:39] <krinns> i have ubuntu installed all good
[06:39] <krinns> but i have a hp 1022n laser jet
[06:39] <dwid> i finally got ubuntu to install on another hd , a 6 gig one, it says i cant access the other 160 gig drive, says unable to mount, how do i fix this
[06:39] <krinns> its odd
[06:39] <tom47> gnoodles sounds like your mileage varied
[06:39] <protocol2> is it better to use the generic kernel or another one?
[06:39] <krinns> some times it gets hang
[06:39] <gnoodles> When I try to reboot into Ubuntu, I get an error "Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by bios"
[06:39] <krinns> any idea
[06:40] <Marupa> I've got a TEW-424UB v2  TrendNet 802.11g USB wifi adapter...was wondering if A) it'll work, and B) how to get it to work.
[06:40] <gnoodles> DI can get into rescue mode, but I have no idea what to fix.
[06:40] <gnoodles> Any thoughts?
[06:40] <shatrat> gnoodles: I think you need to go into the BIOS and enable something...the name of which I have completely forgotten
[06:41] <kitche> gnoodles, seems like some how your root of your ubuntu is further then what your bios can do for booting
[06:41] <alyssa_> !tips and tricks
[06:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tips and tricks - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:41] <mitrovarr> if you change the drives around on a ubuntu machine, is there any way to make the system scan the new drive map and set up a new fstab and such?
[06:41] <host`> gtk1 or gtk2? which is betteR?
[06:41] <GentooPWN> shatrat hey it works! Thanks, now is there a way to mount it and run a shell to it like a chroot from windows?
[06:41] <kitche> host`, they are the same thing just that alot of apps use gtk+2 now
[06:42] <orByte> hello, is there any free antivirus/internet security for ubuntu?
[06:42] <host`> apparently gtk2's performance lacks
[06:42] <Manstein> orByte , try clamAv
[06:42] <protocol2> is it better to use the generic kernel or another one?
[06:42] <kitche> !firewall|orByte
[06:42] <ubotu> orByte: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[06:42] <GentooPWN> shatrat ...?
[06:42] <shatrat> GentooPWN: Mount it in windows?  It should show up in your My Computer.  I dont know anything about windows shell though, except that it annoys me more than Rosie Odonnel
[06:42] <kitche> !antivirus|orByte
[06:42] <ubotu> orByte: antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus
[06:43] <Manstein> orbyte, try firestarter firewall as well. Works fine fore me
[06:43] <dwid> i finally got ubuntu to install on another hd , a 6 gig one, it says i cant access the other 160 gig drive, says unable to mount, how do i fix this
[06:43] <GentooPWN> shatrat yea it did I can access all the file, but what I want is to be able to actually use the linux partition like get a terminal and control it from windows?
[06:43] <gnoodles> Ubuntu crashed before I restarted. I had tried to edit the system menu, but it didn't change. I tried to logout, but used 'switch user' instead, & apparently it doesn't like you to be logged in twice. It crashed completely. I tried to reboot, but got that error.
[06:43] <orByte> ok thx. will do a bit of googling
[06:43] <tom47> noodles dunno ... this may help ... http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/GRUB#Error_18
[06:43] <Manstein> I have been running an Ubuntu Server for quite some time now. I just fihished installing a new application (Ventrilo), how can i make my server run the ventrilo daemon everytime it boots? Do i need to enter the startup parameter /blabla/blala/.ventrilo_srv to some kind of script?
[06:44] <tom47> gnoodles see above
[06:44] <kitche> GentooPWN, you can't do that you might be able to do it actually with vmware not sure though
[06:44] <gnoodles> Thanks,
[06:44] <shatrat> GentooPWN: Im still not sure what you mean. Like run a linux shell whlie in windows?  I bet somebody has ported Bash to windows if thats what youre wanting
[06:44] <gnoodles> I'll look.
[06:45] <GentooPWN> kitche I did it a while ago with debian and win2k using cygwin and chroot, just can't remember how
[06:45] <orByte> !linuxvirus
[06:45] <ubotu> The short life and hard times of a Linux Virus http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[06:45] <GentooPWN> shatrat yea like a chroot using cygwin to access my linux part
[06:45] <GentooPWN> just firing up the kernel is the hard part
[06:46] <slap_me> hmm
[06:46] <slap_me> kitche...
[06:46] <slap_me> didnt work
[06:46] <slap_me> still giving me that error
[06:46] <shatrat> GentooPWN: I see, I hadn't though of something like that.  I suppose you could mount the partition in a virtual machine and chroot to it...but it seems like a whole lot of work to avoid a reboot
[06:46] <slap_me> saying my "nvidia" module is not installed...or something or my nvidia driver
[06:46] <slap_me> = (
[06:46] <slap_me> no ubuntu
[06:47] <kitche> slap_me, have to reconfigure x sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg a a kernel upgrade probably or something messed up I would just change the nvidia driver to nv for now just to see if it loads
[06:47] <slap_me> heh, no idea how to do ANY of that
[06:47] <kitche> slap_me, anyways I m going to bed for now falling asleep
[06:48] <slap_me> k
[06:48] <bamtol> hello
[06:48] <gnoodles> Tom47: That's the right erro, but it doesn't really make sense to me. It was booting fine before, nothing was moved. THis pc is less then a year old, Athlon 64, so it's BIOS shouldn't have problems with large disks.
[06:48] <tarelerulz> I get partion magic to make a ext3 partion out of the free space of an ntfs  then How do I boot linux. Would I  not need to intall grub to boot record so I could boot either linux or windows.
[06:48] <iskin> slap_me, have you tried the envy script to fix your nvidia problem?
[06:49] <ekingery> Hi.  Is anyone available to help out with an 'INIT: cannot execute "/etc/init.d/rcS" problem?
[06:49] <gnoodles> My thought is that that command the Litche linked to created some file that's causing Grub to choke.
[06:49] <slap_me> iskin..ubuntu wont load at all
[06:49] <gnoodles> Oops, Kitche
[06:49] <shatrat> ekingery: rcS is single user mode I think, are you trying to enter recovery mode or something?
[06:50] <iskin> slap_me, that sucks. Don't know how to help with that.
[06:50] <ekingery> That's what I get in recovery and 'normal' mode.  It locks up on boot shortly after.
[06:50] <slap_me> heh
[06:50] <khermans_> on amd64, should i keep the -generic kernel or install something else?  what is the difference?
[06:50] <slap_me> how easy is ubuntu to RE-install?
[06:50] <slap_me> = X
[06:50] <slap_me> i htink i may have to do that
[06:50] <gnoodles> So if I run 'echo "savedefault --default=2 --once" | grub --batch' any idea what's getting written to the hard drive?
[06:50] <iskin> very easy.
[06:51] <ekingery> I have been looking into that as well.  I have heard about a 'repair' mode on ubuntu, but cannot find it.
[06:51] <dwid> i finally got ubuntu to install on another hd , a 6 gig one, it says i cant access the other 160 gig drive, says unable to mount, how do i fix this
[06:51] <frogzoo> ekingery: did you modify that file?
[06:52] <ekingery> Nope.  I think things started going south after an upgrade, but I can't be sure.
[06:52] <tom47> gnoodles its doesn't make a lot of sense to me either unless somehow you have borked the mbr and need to reinstate it .... i woulo begin by checking the disk with fsck
[06:52] <frogzoo> ekingery: 'recovery' should be the 2nd line on the grub prompt
[06:52] <noobie0057> I created a bash file, when I try to execute it I get an error message "bash: myFile: command not found"   to execute it I typed myFile
[06:52] <Flannel> noobie0057: ./myFile (the current directory isn't in the path)
[06:52] <ekingery> frogzoo: I get the same think with recovery mode as 'normal' mode
[06:53] <frogzoo> ekingery: but it's more likely failing because it can't exec /bin/sh
[06:53] <gnoodles> Would I see the grub menu if the MBR were corrupted?
[06:53] <shatrat> depends on how corrupted
[06:53] <noobie0057> Flannel,, ah,, I was executing like myFile not ./myFile
[06:53] <noobie0057> thanks
[06:54] <frogzoo> gnoodles: you can get the grub prompt, while grub can't boot cos it's looking for root in the wrong place - misconfigured MBR is quite common, corrupted MBR seldom
[06:54] <frogzoo> ekingery: your only lines of attack are 1- live cd, or 2 - reinstall
[06:54] <tom47> gnoodles no i dont think you would
[06:54] <shatrat> MBR is pretty small, not much chance of something to corrupt
[06:55] <luis> hey folks, could someone check my server at http://project1.zapto.org
[06:55] <Manstein> I need to run a command after each reboot, on a Ubuntu server installation. How should i proceed?
[06:55] <garryb>  do you have an /etc/rc.local file?
[06:55] <garryb> if so that would be it
[06:55] <Manstein> garryb ok will check
[06:56] <gnoodles> Would the command 'echo "savedefault --default=2 --once" | grub --batch' have somehow misconfigure the MBR?
[06:56] <ekingery> frogzoo: okay.  Let me check the /bin/sh file via live CD.  I've checked the bash binary already..  That was okay.
[06:56] <frogzoo> Manstein: for the lazy, just poke it in: /etc/rc2.d/S99rc.local
[06:56] <Manstein> frogzoo, garryb will check now :D
[06:56] <garryb> frogzoo: for my purposes, what's wrong with /etc/rc.local?
[06:57] <garryb> oh, the S99rc.local actually calls /etc/rc.local
[06:57] <tom47> gnoodles
[06:57] <gnoodles> my menu.lst file looks fine. Doesn't grub just get the info from that? It's been a few years since I did anything with GRUB...
[06:57] <yopad> question again: why does the live cd make my built in wireless work...but when i use the minimal cd and install over the net....it wont detect it
[06:58] <frogzoo> garryb: /etc/rc.local executes on all runlevels, not really what you want
[06:58] <shatrat> yopad: probably drivers included in livecd that didnt fit on the minimal and it isnt smart enough to download.  If you have live CD why do you need minimal one?
[06:58] <bamtol> !help
[06:58] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[06:58] <frogzoo> !anything
[06:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about anything - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:59] <garryb> Manstein: See what frogzoo said, use his solution not mine :-)
[07:00] <yopad> shatrat: i had problems loading the the live cd...i was getting I/o buffer errors
[07:01] <shatrat> yopad: my friend just installed and he had those errors too.  io buffer error on hda?  THe problem was a bad CD in his case
[07:01] <shatrat> try burning one at slower speed
[07:01] <yopad> shatrat:  i tried the alternate cd too...no luck..it kept on messing up
[07:01] <shatrat> you have obviously violated an indian burial ground and are cursed
[07:01] <ekingery> frogzoo: thanks!  /bin/sh was not found.  I copied it from live CD and made some progress.  Looks like I have a few more issues with missing files, etc..  I guess I'll just do binary diffs or md5sums from the live cd vs. my hard disk..
[07:01] <Manstein> Just rebooting my server , have edited /etc/rc.local first
[07:02] <frogzoo> ekingery: well if you can get apt back up & running, you're back in business, gl
[07:02] <Manstein> just added a line in rc.local that "said": './blablabla/blablabla/ventrilo_srv'
[07:03] <garryb> Manstein: see what frogzoo said about my comment: "garryb: /etc/rc.local executes on all runlevels, not really what you want"
[07:03] <frogzoo> Manstein: that will run at shutdown, not what you want
[07:03] <tom47> gnoodles what is the third option in your menu.lst?
[07:03] <ekingery> frogzoo: what do I re-run with apt?  Should I just ask at that point :-)
[07:03] <yopad> shatrat:  i burned so many cds...i used the one that worked before...no luck...but the minimal cd worked..and my external card is working...even though i have perfectly working built in one thats im too lazy to configure..
[07:03] <Manstein> ok will keep u posted :D
[07:04] <frogzoo> ekingery: can't really tell from here how broken your machine is, hopefully the apt db is still in tact, & you can just reinstall at that point whatever you need
[07:05] <ekingery> frogzoo: got it - thanks again!
[07:05] <painkiler> hey guys
[07:05] <gnoodles> I think it's the memtest option. I't on this PC so I can't see the file from Windows.
[07:05] <painkiler> is there an ubuntu distro with beryl built in?
[07:05] <someothernick> no
[07:05] <shatrat> yopad: Another solution we tried was irqpoll and ide=nodma and/or pci=noacpi as kernel args at boot
[07:06] <tom47> gnoodles is that what you wanted to do in the next boot ie memtest?
[07:06] <shatrat> yopad: according to the forums that solved a lot of other peoples bufffer io error problems
[07:06] <gnoodles> Oh, you're asking in relation to that command-- That command didn't seem to work at all, the first option was still selected
[07:06] <tom47> ok
[07:06] <gnoodles> I had edited it to point to option 4 anyway, that's just the command that I copied from the web page.
[07:07] <Manstein> frogzoo, garryb: Nothing happened, but i think i need to change the file's mod with chmod, to make it executable. That would be SOMETHING like sudo chmod 7777 /etc/rc.local , right?
[07:07] <tom47> right
[07:07] <Erb> how do i post a new message in ubuntuforums.org (i'm registered but can't find new post button)?
[07:07] <Erb> never mind, found it
[07:07] <ruphy> hello guys, I updated my dapper to edgy some time ago, and I need to install libxss-dev, but when I try it tells me (translating italian-->english):
[07:07] <BHSPitLappy> also note the existence of #ubuntuforums
[07:07] <tom47> gnoodles did you allow for grub using a funny numbering system ie 4=3
[07:08] <frogzoo> Manstein: don't do that, no
[07:08] <ruphy> libxss-dev: Depends on: libxss1 (= 1:1.0.1-4ubuntu1) but 1:1.1-0ubuntu1 is going to bi installed
[07:08] <gnoodles> Yup. I wanted to boot the 5th listed option, so I used 4.
[07:08] <ruphy> so an ubuntu bug I think
[07:08] <tom47> ok
[07:08] <ruphy> could you guys help me?
[07:08] <frogzoo> Manstein: what are you doing in /etc/rc.local anyway? put it in /etc/rc2.d/S99rc.local
[07:08] <tom47> just running through possibilities
[07:08] <Manstein> frogzoo will do
[07:08] <frogzoo> ruphy: we don't know yet
[07:09] <gnoodles> Anyway, the problem here is related to trying to boot into Ubuntu, the first option (ie. 0). Windows boots fine.
[07:09] <frogzoo> ruphy: oh, seems we do
[07:09] <tom47> ah
[07:09] <yopad> sharat: you just add that line at the end right? dont delete anything...push f6...add everything
[07:09] <ruphy> frogzoo: what's the problem?
[07:10] <shatrat> yopad: You got it.  Try irqpoll first and hope it works, ide=nodma will slow you down a lot
[07:10] <yopad> cool..ill give it a shot..thanks man
[07:10] <frogzoo> ruphy: well it looks like the problem is someones goofed on the packaging
[07:10] <shatrat> yopad: let me kjnow if it works
[07:10] <yopad> the live cd is way faster than the minimal cd...
[07:10] <ruphy> frogzoo: I need to install the lastest developement files for libxss to compile kde4 (I'm a kde4 dev)
[07:11] <frogzoo> ruphy: if you're running feisty, I'd suggest asking in #ubuntu+1
[07:11] <ruphy> frogzoo: yeah, that's what I thought too, but I don't have much experience with debian-like distros... it seems that the edgy version is missing, anyway, what I can do to fix that?
[07:11] <ruphy> frogzoo: no, edgy
[07:12] <mcquaid> anyone good with grub?  i'm been trying for awhile to get windows to boot via grub with no success.
[07:12] <mcquaid> here's what i have in menu.1st
[07:12] <mcquaid> http://www.pastebin.ca/index.php
[07:12] <mcquaid> just the relevant portion
[07:12] <ruphy> frogzoo: that's strange infact... edgy should be stable
[07:12] <frogzoo> ruphy: well I don't know why that package is broken, you could force the install, but it may be true what it says, it may need the older package
[07:13] <ruphy> frogzoo: and... how I do that?
[07:13] <gnoodles> mcquaid: Nothing there.
[07:13] <Akuma_> how can i access a samba network share on the command line? nautilus shows it as smb:// , but where is it on the fs ?
[07:13] <mcquaid> http://www.pastebin.ca/326595
[07:13] <ekingery> I'm obviously an IRC noob.  When addressing someone specifically, do you just type 'username: ' or is that done through your chat interface?
[07:13] <Manstein> frogzoo: When i open the file , it seems to be in some kind of linux scripting language. I will copy paste a section that might be of relevance :
[07:13] <Manstein> do_start() {
[07:13] <Manstein>         if [ -x /etc/rc.local ] ; then

[07:15] <mcquaid> gnoodles, does anything stand out to you?
[07:15] <shatrat> mcquaid: Is grub on the same drive as windows?
[07:15] <dwid> how do i access my second hard drive
[07:15] <ruphy> frogzoo: could you  tell me how do I install a specific version of a pagkage?
[07:15] <dwid> it says unable to mount
[07:15] <mcquaid> yes i just have one drive
[07:15] <gnoodles> Mcquaid: Yup. Unfortunately, I'm not experienced enough to spot your problem. Having grub issues myself, so I thought I'd glance at it...
[07:15] <mcquaid> windows is in a logical part though hda5
[07:15] <mcquaid> ok thx anyway
[07:15] <frogzoo> ruphy: I really suggest you research the problem on google or launchpad - just using apt-get --fix-broken willy nilly will break your system
[07:16] <HymnToLife> dwid, we need more details here... What filesystems are there on the drive and how do you try to mount it ?
[07:16] <dwid> im just trying to access the second hard drive
[07:16] <dwid> i dont know wh at file systems are on the hard drive
[07:16] <frogzoo> dwid: ide or sata?
[07:16] <someothernick> ntfs ext3?
[07:17] <dwid> ide
[07:17] <frogzoo> dwid: for x in a b c d ; do sudo fdisk -l /dev/hd$x ; done
[07:17] <Manstein> dwid: is it on the same connector in ur computer?
[07:18] <dwid> yeah its on the same connector
[07:18] <dwid> its the slave drive
[07:18] <Manstein> dwid: then it should be fdisk /hdb
[07:18] <dwid> what does that do
[07:18] <ruphy> frogzoo: anyway, thanks dude
[07:18] <Manstein> dwid: sudo fdisk /dev/hdb
[07:18] <someothernick> is there anything on the drive?
[07:18] <Manstein> dwid it will let u partition ur disk
[07:19] <dwid> fdisk/hdb says unable to open
[07:19] <gnoodles> Well, I'm doubtful that my problem is a corrupt HD, but that seems to be the likeliest place to start troubleshooting. Can anyone suggest the best fsck options to use?
[07:19] <frogzoo> Manstein: if you want to learn to do an rc script properly, try man boot-scripts
[07:19] <Manstein> frogzoo: ok tnx, will look into it, got about time :D
[07:19] <someothernick> space between the k and /
[07:19] <Rio> how do you uninstall something that has been installed through wine?
[07:20] <frogzoo> Rio: see if it has an uninstall.exe
[07:20] <dwid> The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 19457.
[07:20] <dwid> There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
[07:20] <dwid> and could in certain setups cause problems
[07:20] <frogzoo> dwid: did you set LBA in the bios?
[07:20] <shatrat> Rio: go to .wine/drive_c in your home folder
[07:20] <MotorCityMadMan> how can i ck if the kernel has enabled a packet socket ?
[07:20] <Manstein> dwid: are u sure there is nothing of relevance on the drive?
[07:21] <dwid> yes
[07:21] <dwid> theres nothing on the drive of revelence
[07:21] <shatrat> Rio: you can either CTRL + H in nautilus to see the hidden folder or just cd .wine in terminal
[07:21] <frogzoo> MotorCityMadMan: netstat -ant ?
[07:21] <MotorCityMadMan> frogzoo: trying now
[07:21] <dwid> i dont know what lba is in the bios
[07:21] <shatrat> logical block address
[07:22] <frogzoo> dwid: it's a disk option - it's there
[07:22] <dwid> i dont remember seeing it my bios
[07:22] <frogzoo> dwid: look at the disk options in the standard settings
[07:22] <Marupa> hey, quick question.  I'm running xchat and ubuntu, when I click on links instead of opening in firefox like I'd expect, they open in Nautilus.  How do I fix it?
[07:23] <Rio> okay, i see uninst.dll and uninst.isu, but no exe
[07:23] <gnoodles> do I just want 'fsck /'?
[07:23] <frogzoo> Marupa: you probly need to change your default browser
[07:23] <Marupa> where do I do that?
[07:23] <dwid> what will the lba do for me
[07:23] <ekingery> frogzoo: Got it back up and running! Just copied over /bin and /etc/init.d from the live CD and that seemed to do the trick.
[07:23] <frogzoo> Marupa: system -> prefs -> preferred apps
[07:23] <Rio> frogzoo, shatrat i see no uninstall executable... now what?
[07:23] <MotorCityMadMan> frogzoo: not seeing any.
[07:24] <frogzoo> MotorCityMadMan: gnome?
[07:24] <MotorCityMadMan> kde
[07:24] <Marupa> preferred apps is set to firefox.
[07:24] <shatrat> Rio: well, if you want to uninstall something in wine and it doesnt have an uninstall...just delete that suckers folder and dont lose sleep over it
[07:24] <frogzoo> MotorCityMadMan: nothing? then how are you on irc ?
[07:25] <tapas> is there a -rt kernel available for ubuntu?
[07:25] <dwid> so i have to do what to the lba in order to use the hard drive?
[07:25] <MotorCityMadMan> frogzoo: tcp
[07:25] <shatrat> tapas:  I was under the impression that realtime kernels werent useful for a desktop/server
[07:25] <frogzoo> tapas: the service interrupt time on linux these days is so low, it's almost rt, but not quite
[07:26] <mikejanssen> OMG!!!
[07:26] <mikejanssen> I TOTALLY ROCK!!
[07:26] <mikejanssen> i fixed it
[07:26] <mikejanssen> heh
[07:26] <someothernick> :)
[07:26] <Rio> shatrat haha am i not supposed to clean up the mess that could be in other folders?
[07:26] <mikejanssen> -back on ubuntu
[07:26] <mikejanssen> man
[07:26] <mikejanssen> that was total luck i think
[07:26] <MotorCityMadMan> frogzoo: theres a list showing. i'm just not seeing a packet socket
[07:26] <dwid> frogzoo: i have to do what to the lba in order to use the second hard drive?
[07:26] <tapas> i'm talking about kernels patched with ingo molnar's realtime preemption patches
[07:26] <frogzoo> ekingery: that's a good result, hope there's not too much else broken
[07:27] <tapas> if there's no ubuntu package i'll have to patch/build myself
[07:27] <frogzoo> dwid: just make sure the 2nd drive is set to LBA - that's step #1
[07:27] <mikejanssen> that was totally weird
[07:27] <mikejanssen> using the terminal in dos...
[07:27] <mikejanssen> heh
[07:27] <shatrat> Rio: I dont know if there is any kind of Add or Remove programs for wine, but the wine directories are pretty empty anyway, if anything is out of place delete it
[07:28] <dwid> frogzoo: and i get to that in bios?
[07:28] <dwid> what is step 2
[07:28] <Rio> okay, lets say i did find an uninstall file.  what do i do then, for future reference?
[07:28] <Marupa> so any ideas why nautilus is opening XChat's links rather than firefox, if the preferred app is firefox?
[07:29] <Rio> shatrat what if i did find an uninstall file? what then?
[07:29] <frogzoo> MotorCityMadMan: netstat -aen ?
[07:29] <dwid> what is step 2
[07:29] <Rio> what i just type "wine <uninstall file>"?
[07:29] <Rio> errrr
[07:29] <someothernick> dwid, does your drive show up when you look at fdisk -l ?
[07:29] <Rio> shatrat would i just type "wine <uninstall file>"
[07:29] <Rio> ?
[07:30] <frogzoo> dwid: step #2:  for x in a b c d ; do sudo fdisk -l /dev/hd$x ; done
[07:30] <dwid> what is for x in a b c d
[07:30] <shatrat> Rio: yeah that works if there is an uninstall file created, I used it today
[07:30] <someothernick> :/
[07:30] <frogzoo> dwid: type that in a terminal, it will find & print the partition table on your 2nd disk
[07:30] <Vuen> hi #ubuntu, how do i start a new x session on tty8 from within a terminal?
[07:31] <Vuen> is it like startx :1 or something like that?
[07:31] <Rio> shatrat oh okay.... cool thanks
[07:31] <dwid> and thats it
[07:32] <MotorCityMadMan> frogzoo: lots of sockets listening in there
[07:32] <dwid> and you said lba is in bios
[07:32] <someothernick> dwid, does your drive show up when you look at fdisk -l ?
[07:33] <adamwest> guys i need help, they're not answering in xubuntu or xfce... :(
[07:33] <adamwest> my system hangs when i try to logout of xubuntu
[07:33] <frogzoo> MotorCityMadMan: according to the netstat manpage, it should show as SOCK_PACKET
[07:33] <dwid> how do i look at fdisk
[07:33] <yopad> adamwest: how about reinstall?
[07:33] <riotkittie> are you using a composite manager, adamwest ?
[07:34] <someothernick> type in term fdisk -l
[07:34] <dwid> nothing happens
[07:34] <cableroy> Hi, is there a program similar to this one for linux www.sshkeychain.org ?
[07:34] <adamwest> yopad - tried install, didn't work... and riotkittie -- don't know what's that :P
[07:34] <frogzoo> dwid: step #2:  for x in a b c d ; do sudo fdisk -l /dev/hd$x ; done
[07:34] <someothernick> opps
[07:34] <frogzoo> dwid: the whole command found nothing?
[07:34] <someothernick> sudo fdisk -l
[07:35] <nnn> Hi All...
[07:35] <dwid> okay i did step 2
[07:35] <dwid> whats step 3
[07:36] <frogzoo> dwid: so you now know where your partitions are on the 2nd disk?
[07:36] <yopad> adamwest: whats your system specs?
[07:36] <dwid> not really
[07:36] <yopad> how much ram etc
[07:36] <MotorCityMadMan> frogzoo: no sock_packet showing. i'm doing a serach to see if there info at the configure.help file
[07:36] <tapas> damn, ubuntu needs /proc/config support in their kernels
[07:36] <frogzoo> dwid: have you partitioned this disk ?
[07:36] <dwid> i dont understand what i see when i type that in
[07:36] <nnn> I want that Zend use my PHP how I can do it??? in install time, it not ask me anytning about it
[07:36] <someothernick> dwid,  does your drive show up?
[07:36] <adamwest> yopad: 512ram 1300mgz
[07:36] <adamwest> *mhz
[07:36] <yopad> plenty
[07:37] <mwe> tapas: /boot/ should contain the kernel config I believe
[07:37] <dwid> yeah
[07:37] <dwid> the drive shows up
[07:37] <someothernick> is it hdb?
[07:37] <tapas> yah
[07:37] <dwid> yes hdb
[07:37] <frogzoo> dwid: partitions are referenced by disk & partition - so /dev/hdb3 is the 3rd partition on the 2nd disk (b), for instance
[07:37] <mwe> tapas: but I agree /proc/config.gz support would be nice
[07:37] <shatrat> yopad: did those kernel arguments help?
[07:38] <tapas> mwe: :)
[07:38] <Manstein> frogzoo: After having read the manpage, i found another article online , the Debian Policy Manual. Since Ubuntu is debian based, will this article get me further?
[07:38] <dwid> so how do i access hdb
[07:39] <Akuma_> how can i access a samba network share on the command line? nautilus shows it as smb:// , but where is it mounted on the file system ?
[07:39] <mwe> !mount | dwid
[07:39] <ubotu> dwid: 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
[07:39] <tapas> dwid: by way of /dev/hdb
[07:39] <frogzoo> Manstein: you don't need to read everything, just a sense of how the rc scripts work, then take a look in /etc/rc2.d/ & see how the scripts are written
[07:39] <someothernick> dwid, type sudo fdisk /dev/hdb
[07:39] <Manstein> frogzoo: Ok :D
[07:40] <noiesmo> Akuma_, check out smbmount
[07:40] <dwid> yeah typing sudo fdisk etc shows it up
[07:40] <dwid> but when i click on it it still wont open up
[07:40] <frogzoo> dwid: hdb is divided into partitions - you need to mount each partition individually - first you add a line(s) in /etc/fstab, then 'sudo mount -a' to read the fstab & mount your partitions
[07:40] <eternalswd> does anyone know of a cli alternative to mv that shows the percentage complete progress?
[07:41] <shatrat> maybe mv -v?
[07:41] <dwid> wait that is to much for me to understand
[07:41] <dwid> how do i add a line in /ect/fstab
[07:41] <frogzoo> !fstab | dwid
[07:41] <ubotu> dwid: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[07:41] <frogzoo> !partitions | dwid

[07:41] <Arigato> what program should I use to image my ubuntu partition?

[07:41] <TheJosh> how do i convert .avi files to dvd's in Ubuntu?
[07:42] <frogzoo> dwid: have you partitioned the disk yet?
[07:42] <dwid> !diskmounter
[07:42] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[07:42] <tarelerulz> How much space does ubuntu need to run ?
[07:42] <dwid> i originally tried to install ubuntu on it , it installed, but it wasnt reconized when i would start up
[07:42] <frogzoo> dwid: do you have /dev/hdb1 /dev/hdb2 /dev/hdb3 etc. ?   - or is the disk currently blank?
[07:42] <protocol2> does anyone know what package or software would be good for USB phones?
[07:42] <tonyyarusso> tarelerulz: 3gb would be a wise minimum, 5-10 is better
[07:43] <protocol2> in Ubuntu Edgy*
[07:43] <TheJosh> protocol2: i simply use drag and drop for my w810i
[07:43] <frogzoo> dwid: to create the partitions, run 'sudo gparted'
[07:43] <someothernick> his drive should be unpartitioned
[07:43] <frogzoo> dwid: just make sure you don't trash any partitions with data you're using
[07:43] <someothernick> gksudo
[07:43] <Manstein> frogzoo: I have looked @ several files in the /etc/rc2.d/ direcotry
[07:43] <protocol2> TheJosh, I am using a CIT200
[07:44] <noiesmo> TheJosh, mencoder can be used to convert avi to mpeg for use with dvd author app
[07:44] <someothernick> fdisk is a partition app
[07:44] <dwid> !fstab
[07:44] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[07:44] <Manstein> frogzoo: but scripting on this level, is a first, will continue to investigate :D
[07:44] <TheJosh> protocol2: what does ubuntu say when you plug it in?
[07:44] <TheJosh> noiesmo: Thanks, I'll have a look into it, cheers.
[07:45] <protocol2> TheJosh, let me try it
[07:45] <frogzoo> Manstein: I did say just putting the command in /etc/rc2.d/S99rc.local would be easiest
[07:46] <Manstein> frogzoo: There is already text there. Should i put it beneath it, in empty space?
[07:46] <dwid> sudo gparted will create partitions on the second drive right
[07:46] <dwid> how do i make sure it only does it on the sceond drive
[07:46] <_`XeOn_> hello
[07:47] <_`XeOn_> can any1 tell me how to play wmv files?
[07:47] <bamtol> !tr i

[07:47] <bamtol> hello

[07:47] <frogzoo> Manstein: yep, at the bottom

[07:48] <dwid> what drop down menu on the right top corner
[07:48] <someothernick> dwid, in gparted?
[07:49] <frogzoo> Manstein: sorry, you should put the command after the do_start within case $1 start
[07:49] <someothernick> you should be able to select which drive you want to partition
[07:49] <Manstein> frogzoo: just finished backing up the file, ur just on time :D
[07:50] <dwid> sudo gparted is supposed to pull up something with a drop down menu?
[07:50] <someothernick> no
[07:50] <someothernick> sudo gparted should open gparted
[07:50] <dwid> then what is he talkin about
[07:51] <dwid> thers like 10 things to choose from
[07:51] <someothernick> which is hdb?
[07:51] <dwid> not sure
[07:51] <someothernick> it should say /dev/hdb
[07:52] <dwid> Drive type
[07:52] <dwid>    ?   auto configure
[07:52] <dwid>    0   custom (with hardware detected defaults)
[07:52] <dwid>    a   Quantum ProDrive 80S
[07:52] <dwid>    b   Quantum ProDrive 105S
[07:52] <dwid>    c   CDC Wren IV 94171-344
[07:52] <frogzoo> dwid: those 10 things are I think your existing partitions - the top right should be a drop down list of your disks - select hdb
[07:52] <dwid> i dont understand what you mean by top right
[07:53] <frogzoo> dwid: to the right of 'apply'
[07:53] <someothernick> did a gui app pop up when you typed sudo gparted?
[07:53] <dwid> no a gui app didnt pop  up
[07:54] <frogzoo> dwid: dpkg -l gparted
[07:54] <HymnToLife> dwid, you should use gksudo gparted
[07:54] <HymnToLife> not sudo
[07:54] <frogzoo> HymnToLife: sudo works for me?!
[07:54] <someothernick> gk is better for opening gui apps
[07:55] <someothernick> safer
[07:55] <HymnToLife> !worksforme | frogzoo
[07:55] <ubotu> frogzoo: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[07:55] <frogzoo> :p
[07:55] <_`XeOn_> it says to download w32 codecs using console command im downloading now... how do i install it trough there?
[07:56] <someothernick> dwid, close that terminal, open a new terminal and type gksudo gparted
[07:56] <HymnToLife> _`XeOn_, sudo dpkg -i filename.deb
[07:56] <_`XeOn_> ok thanks
[07:56] <dwid> command not found
[07:56] <edog^> how do I turn off dead keys on my keyboard?  I dont want to hit the ~ key twice to make it display
[07:56] <HymnToLife> dwid, do you have gparted installed ?
[07:57] <edog^> I dont see an english layout without dead keys
[07:57] <dwid> wait do i have to do sudo fdisk before i run gparted
[07:58] <HymnToLife> not that I know of
[07:58] <rmorris84> is there a way for me to decompress a .sitx file in ubuntu?
[07:58] <dwid> gparted just worked so i guess its installed
[08:00] <dwid> it works after i do sudo fdisk /dev/hdb
[08:00] <dwid> and i get a bunch of options
[08:00] <dwid> abcdmlnop;

[08:01] <daeryc> hi. quick question then ill leave. i recently used break=bottom on the ubuntu installer cd to get into X by removing the conf. works. but now everytime i boot i get the INITRAMFS prompt. how can i remove it?
[08:01] <adamonline45> edog^: Dunno what you're talking about, but there's a tut I saw recently about remapping keys to do different things... Maybe you can make them useful instead of unmapping them?
[08:01] <someothernick> dwid, type n
[08:01] <someothernick> then enter
[08:02] <dwid> l or p now
[08:02] <edog^> ahha!  You need to select the folder us-english, not the option underneath us-english
[08:02] <edog^> beaut
[08:02] <dwid> logical partition

[08:03] <xreel> rmorris84: http://www.stuffit.com/unix/index.html

[08:04] <dwid> someothernick: what do i do now
[08:04] <daeryc> hello?
[08:05] <someothernick> dwid, oh you need to format it as ext3
[08:05] <dwid> how do i do that
[08:05] <daeryc> *sigh* -.-
[08:06] <someothernick> dwid, exit term open a new one and type sudo aptitude install gparted gksu
[08:06] <daeryc> hi. quick question then ill leave. i recently used break=bottom on the ubuntu installer cd to get into X by removing the conf. works. but now everytime i boot i get the INITRAMFS prompt. how can i remove it?....
[08:07] <dwid> what do i do konw
[08:07] <dwid> now*
[08:07] <Manstein> frogzoo: So far, no luck. In the /etc/rc2.d/S99rc.local file, I have added the following line between do_start, and the two ;;'s : /home/x/ventrilo/ventrilo_srv -d, this does NOT result in a successfull program load :(
[08:07] <someothernick> dwid, after it installs type gksudo gparted
[08:08] <dwid> okay now something pops up, what do i do now
[08:08] <someothernick> dwid, in top right corner select hdb
[08:08] <dwid> okay
[08:08] <dwid> now what
[08:08] <daeryc> a simple answer would be appreciated
[08:09] <someothernick> dwid, right click on your partition
[08:09] <dwid> and
[08:09] <someothernick> select format to ext3
[08:10] <someothernick> then click on the green check mark
[08:10] <dwid> hdb1 hdb2 or hdb5
[08:10] <someothernick> oh
[08:10] <dwid> well hdb 1 is ext 3
[08:10] <dwid> the biggest one
[08:10] <Zaggynl> At which /dev/ is the alsa device located?
[08:10] <someothernick> do you want to keep those partition or make the drive one partition?
[08:11] <dwid> make it one partition
[08:11] <daeryc> hi. quick question then ill leave. i recently used break=bottom on the ubuntu installer cd to get into X by removing the conf. works. but now everytime i boot i get the INITRAMFS prompt. how can i remove it?....
[08:11] <someothernick> dwid, right click and delete them
[08:11] <dwid> then what
[08:11] <someothernick> then choose ext3
[08:12] <someothernick> and click the check mark
[08:12] <dwid> how long does it take
[08:12] <someothernick> not too long
[08:13] <daeryc> ...

[08:13] <ubotu> lojikal: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:13] <khatahn> HymnToLife: totem is for video
[08:13] <HymnToLife> khatahn, it can play audio too
[08:13] <lojikal> lol, kk
[08:14] <khatahn> HymnToLife: sure, but i'm sure there's something just for audio too
[08:14] <daeryc> i asked my question several times. never once even got a response let alone an answer
[08:14] <HymnToLife> khatahn, not by default, I think
[08:14] <khatahn> HymnToLife: oh
[08:14] <elijah> what made kubuntu differ from ubuntu?
[08:14] <lojikal> I'm running a MythBox at school but its behind the school's firewall which only allows connections into the network on one port. How can i set up a proxy to forward all the local ports out of that one port... if that makes sense
[08:14] <HymnToLife> elijah, it uses KDE insteas of GNOME
[08:14] <tonyyarusso> elijah: KDE vs. Gnome
[08:14] <riotkittie> elijah: KDE over GNOME
[08:14] <Manstein> khatahn: i have been using XMMS music player for quite seom time now, it runs nicely
[08:14] <daeryc> kubuntu is kde. ubuntu is gnome
[08:15] <HymnToLife> instead*
[08:15] <elijah> how about xubuntu?
[08:15] <HymnToLife> XFCE
[08:15] <ShatratSchlaeftE> xfce
[08:15] <daeryc> xfce
[08:15] <tonyyarusso> elijah: SFCE
[08:15] <ShatratSchlaeftE> I win
[08:15] <tonyyarusso> *XFCE
[08:15] <riotkittie> XFCE over the others
[08:15] <tonyyarusso> ShatratSchlaeftE: I had the nick!
[08:15] <daeryc> hi. quick question then ill leave. i recently used break=bottom on the ubuntu installer cd to get into X by removing the conf. works. but now everytime i boot i get the INITRAMFS prompt. how can i remove it?....
[08:15] <elijah> is it the best among the others?
[08:15] <riotkittie> actualllyyyyyyyyy,  iwn cos i typed it right on the first try :x
[08:16] <khatahn> Manstein: yeah, xmms is the best. but i was just wondering what the default in ubuntu is. kubuntu has Amarok, so i thought there must be something similiar in ubuntu too
[08:16] <riotkittie> elijah: best is a relative term.
[08:16] <tonyyarusso> elijah: personal choice
[08:16] <daeryc> elijah, if in doubt stick with ubuntu. it seems to be the most stable. i perfer xfce but last time i tried xubuntu it was highly unstable.
[08:16] <elijah> ok, you know, im really a linux noobie
[08:16] <tonyyarusso> daeryc: when was that?
[08:16] <lojikal> elijah: if you're used to windows, kde is usually very natural to transition too, at least at first
[08:16] <riotkittie> xfce is lightweight, kde is full of eyecandy and some say easier for those migrating from windows
[08:16] <khatahn> ubuntu doesn't ship with rhythmbox anymore? i think it did at some point (?)
[08:17] <lojikal> dont' think so
[08:17] <tonyyarusso> khatahn: it does
[08:17] <riotkittie> gnome is. well. gnome. <3
[08:17] <khatahn> tonyyarusso: ah. that's it then. thanks :)
[08:17] <HymnToLife> and KDE is, well, KDE <3
[08:17] <lojikal> so, any ideas on that proxy?
[08:17] <riotkittie> kde is, well, not GNOME </3
[08:17] <elijah> lojikal so i should try ubuntu first?
[08:17] <daeryc> for the love of god....can anyone help me remove the initramfs prompt.....
[08:17] <HymnToLife> and GNOME is, well, not XFCE :D
[08:17] <riotkittie> elijah: get ubuntu and you can install the xfce and kde packages on top of them to try them out
[08:18] <elijah> oh, ok
[08:18] <lojikal> elijah: i would use kubuntu -- i prefer kde apps anyway, but just grab all three isos, run the livecds and see which you like better
[08:18] <riotkittie> fluxbox ftw
[08:18] <elijah> thanks for the education
[08:18] <lojikal> yeah, or just install the other two
[08:18] <elijah> i really dot know that
[08:18] <elijah> :)
[08:19] <lojikal> elijah: prolly just easiest for you to grab and burn all three isos if you're on a quick connection
[08:19] <lojikal> daeryc: please be patient...
[08:19] <daeryc> i just need the answer then im gone. its the only thing wrong
[08:20] <riotkittie> what FS does the live disc use?
[08:20] <lojikal> a ram fs
[08:20] <lojikal> i think initramfs?
[08:20] <daeryc> the dang thing im still stuck with ....
[08:20] <riotkittie> ah
[08:21] <elijah> ok, thank you so much lojikal, thank you guys...i love ya'all
[08:21] <lojikal> elijah: come back soon :)
[08:21] <elijah> sure
[08:21] <lojikal> so does anyone know anything about proxies and/or tunneling?
[08:22] <Manstein> Ok ppl. I need a program to autoload, with every fresh boot. I'm stuck in the /etc/rc2.d/S99rc.local file. How should i tell "it" to execute this command: ./home/x/ventrilo/ventrilo_srv ?
[08:23] <daeryc> yep lojikal but im not answering no ones questions about anything. ive been here for half an hour already. its 2am and i just want this dang initramfs to go away
[08:24] <lojikal> lol, sorry, i dont' know how to fix your fx, daeryc
[08:24] <lojikal> fs*
[08:24] <lojikal> daeryc what did you say the error was?
[08:24] <FreGHH> holaa
[08:25] <lojikal> what what! word up home slice
[08:25] <daeryc> it isnt an error. i use the break=bottom parameter that i put in the live cd to get into x to install ubuntu
[08:25] <daeryc> now every time i boot i get the initramfs prompt\
[08:25] <lojikal> why not just let the livecd load automatically?
[08:26] <daeryc> because x didnt work
[08:26] <enix> power problem:  i am running dapper on a laptop, when the AC power is un plugged i get a message saying the laptop has a small amount time left before shutdown ( sometimes 3 min, sometimes 15min) but will also say it is at 100%, if i leave it unplugged it will shutdown, any ideas....this still happens even after i get a message about battery being fully charged
[08:26] <lojikal> daeryc: could it be a grub problem?
[08:26] <haggz> sounds like you need to disable acpi?
[08:26] <tapas> what;s the best place in ubuntu to add i.e. hdparm comands?
[08:26] <protocol2> will there be a way to upgrade ubuntu 6.10 to fiesty fawn without loosing my video driver setup and programs?
[08:27] <daeryc> i dont think so. happens after grub but before gdm loads
[08:27] <gnoodles> Well, no apparent luck with fsck. running 'fsck.ext3 /dev/sda1' returned clean. running 'fsck.ext3 -f /dev/sda1' seemed to crash. It started fine, then seemed to just stop after a few minutes. I waited 20 minutes & saw no activity at all on the HD light or anywhere else.
[08:27] <gnoodles> Should it normally take that long?
[08:27] <tapas> should i write an upstart job?
[08:27] <dwid> i still cant acess the sceond drive
[08:28] <_`XeOn_> !wmv

[08:28] <daeryc> gnoodles i had that same problem. gparted most likely crashed on you. reboot and try again. hope nothing important was lost but its trashed now
[08:28] <oxigen> since i installed nvidia drivers smp doesn't work any more, what should i do?
[08:28] <lojikal> daeryc: have you tried looking in the gdm config files? perhaps something in there is still referenceing the ramfs? (cause the livecd grabs the configuration from what's currently running at install time)
[08:28] <someothernick> dwid, sudo mkdir /something you want to name it
[08:28] <protocol2> will there be a way to upgrade ubuntu 6.10 to fiesty fawn without loosing my video driver setup and programs?
[08:28] <gnoodles> Since the drive was not mounted, could fsck have corrupted it?
[08:29] <rob_p> tapas: /etc/hdparm.conf would probably be it...
[08:29] <daeryc> oh fsck
[08:29] <daeryc> .... no dont think so
[08:29] <protocol2> or is it always like that by default?
[08:29] <tapas> rob_p: when is it evaluated?
[08:30] <rob_p> tapas: sometime on boot-up
[08:30] <tapas> ah, there's /etc/init.d/hdparm.. ok so there's a normal init script for it
[08:30] <tapas> ok
[08:30] <gnoodles> How long should fsck normall take to check a nearly empty 200 gig SATA drive?
[08:31] <lojikal> daeryc have you checked fstab to make sure the fs types are defined correctly?
[08:31] <mikejanssen> quick question
[08:31] <mikejanssen> i ahve a multimedia keyboard...
[08:31] <mikejanssen> how do i go about setting up my email button, to openup thunderbird, instead of evolution
[08:32] <rob_p> tapas: Actually, it is run from the init scripts.  Specifically /etc/rcS.d/ by default, I believe.
[08:32] <daeryc> they have the right fs listed
[08:32] <Healot> as usual the busiest channel on the network :)
[08:32] <lojikal> daeryc: hmmm... weird
[08:32] <tonyyarusso> mikejanssen: Right-click, properties, change the command to mozilla-thunderbird %s
[08:33] <rob_p> tapas: I think you will find a symlink to it's init script in there.
[08:33] <daeryc> mikejanssen: system menu, pefered applications
[08:33] <lojikal> anyone know how to forward all of my computer's ports through a single port (socks or proxy or something?)
[08:33] <tapas> rob_p: yah, all is fine now
[08:33] <tapas> thanks
[08:33] <rob_p> tapas: welcome
[08:34] <SnakeDiver> Why does my Ubuntu Install run the logo then a blank screen?
[08:34] <lojikal> snakediver try safe graphics mode
[08:34] <SnakeDiver> Tried, does same thing
[08:34] <daeryc> snake whats the vid card?
[08:35] <lojikal> snakediver what happends if you hit ctrl + alt + f1, do you get a prompt? if so, its video config, if not its something else
[08:35] <SnakeDiver> Okay.. I try that
[08:35] <SnakeDiver> Ctrl + Alt + F1
[08:35] <gnoodles> Back to my original question: When I try to boot into ubuntu, I get 'error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS'. This is a recent Athlon 64, so the BIOS is new, and it booted fine previsouly. Any thoughts?
[08:35] <SnakeDiver> Video card is a GeForce something
[08:36] <Elvis> i changed my login name and loin password like this "usermod -l asdf oldname" and "usermod -p 113 asdf",then logout,but i cant log in as asdf with passwd "113",why?
[08:37] <lojikal> elvis: why not "passwd asdf"?
[08:38] <Elvis> login incorrect
[08:38] <incorrect> is it possible to build debs on an amd64 for i386 ?
[08:38] <lojikal> elvis: try your old password
[08:38] <Elvis> 113 and asdf both are wrong
[08:38] <lojikal> i bet that one failed cause its not the min length ubuntu requires
[08:39] <SnakeDiver> ctrl+alt+f1 brings up a CLI
[08:39] <kraut> moin
[08:39] <SnakeDiver> Does that mean Ubuntu doesnt like my graphics card?
[08:39] <lojikal> snakediver: ok, then you need to play with your video modes at startup -- try the ubuntu wiki and do the command line install if you want, its much easier to fix taht once its installed
[08:39] <Elvis> i login as oldname and oldpassword,and newname and oldpassword,both doesn't work
[08:40] <lojikal> try usermod -l oldname asdf && usermod -p asdf
[08:40] <SnakeDiver> So I just need to install via command line, then I can mess arnd w/ the vid card.  Ight, thnx for the help
[08:41] <Manstein> Well ppl, tnx to ur help i Finally got it working. Tnx for the help!!!!
[08:41] <Elvis> i cant login now,how to login as root?
[08:41] <lojikal> snakediver: that's what i'd do -- better than tryingot od it twice
[08:41] <HymnToLife> and GNOME is, well, not XFCE :D
[08:41] <lojikal> elvis: reboot, hit esc when grub loads, and select recovery mode
[08:41] <HymnToLife> (sorry)
[08:41] <HymnToLife> Elvis, boot in recovery mode
[08:42] <Elvis> ok,thank you
[08:42] <_`XeOn_> i tried to install the plugin and by mistake i installed mozilla how do i unistall it ?
[08:42] <lojikal> np
[08:42] <lojikal> apt-get remove [packagename]
[08:42] <mikejanssen> sudo apt-get remove mozilla-browser
[08:42] <mikejanssen> i believe

[08:42] <mikejanssen> i do sudo for everything
[08:42] <mikejanssen> heh
[08:43] <_`XeOn_> =(
[08:43] <afterstep> the first thing i did when i installed ubuntu was sudo passwd
[08:43] <afterstep> :/
[08:43] <lojikal> yeah, i assume people are either root or will figure it out when it says permission denied, lolz
[08:43] <frogzoo> Manstein: cool, glad I could help
[08:44] <lojikal> So if i were trying to take all my ports and put them through a socks vpn so that i can connect to it on my campus network, is that possible?
[08:44] <mikejanssen> im proud of myself...i mostly fixed ubuntu all by myself
[08:45] <lojikal> gratz...
[08:45] <mikejanssen> and i couldnt even get on the gde
[08:45] <mikejanssen> = X
[08:45] <mikejanssen> had to do it from dos
[08:45] <mikejanssen> = )
[08:45] <mikejanssen> man
[08:45] <mikejanssen> its late
[08:45] <lojikal> i assume you mean commandline
[08:45] <mikejanssen> well
[08:45] <mikejanssen> yea
[08:45] <lojikal> dos is microsoft, which equals the bane of all evil...
[08:45] <mikejanssen> heh
[08:46] <lojikal> ubuntu is sexy, like swimming in heaven
[08:46] <lojikal> :)
[08:46] <afterstep> actually dos was some other company
[08:46] <mikejanssen> with little baby jesus's in golden diapers crawling around
[08:46] <afterstep> microsoft bought it
[08:46] <afterstep> but tomato tomatto
[08:46] <lojikal> ibm
[08:46] <lojikal> i believe
[08:46] <afterstep> no
[08:46] <afterstep> they sold rights to IBM
[08:46] <_`XeOn_> why some ppl  just hate ubuntu?
[08:46] <mikejanssen> some people are dumb
[08:46] <mikejanssen> heh
[08:46] <_`XeOn_> ye
[08:47] <mikejanssen> im <3ing ubuntu
[08:47] <mikejanssen> so glad im trying it
[08:47] <_`XeOn_> i just hate microsoft
[08:47] <mikejanssen> i work at gateway...i think linux should be on systems, not vista
[08:47] <mikejanssen> heh
[08:47] <SnakeDiver> What's this mean .. I see it on Ubuntu boot? :  Buffer I/O Error on HDC
[08:47] <afterstep> mikejanssen: tell your company to stop outsourcing tech support
[08:47] <mikejanssen> everybody is like 'I WANT VISTA!' im like 'vista sux0rz, get OO-BUNT-OO'
[08:47] <mikejanssen> gateway doesnt
[08:47] <mikejanssen> thats dell
[08:47] <afterstep> bull
[08:47] <mikejanssen> nah
[08:47] <mikejanssen> not bull
[08:47] <afterstep> i've talked to them too many times
[08:47] <mikejanssen> we have techs in north america
[08:48] <mikejanssen> they may be foreign
[08:48] <oxygen> hello
[08:48] <mikejanssen> but not out of n.a
[08:48] <oxygen> i need gcc library
[08:48] <afterstep> i know, it's just that when i've called or went online, half of them couldn't speak english at a 5th grade level
[08:48] <mikejanssen> we hire foreign people, cuz they are smart
[08:48] <oxygen> how can i install it ?
[08:48] <_`XeOn_> yeah i did a partition to give a tryout to ubuntu and hell ye windows partition will be erased!
[08:48] <HymnToLife> oxygen, what library ?
[08:48] <oxygen> gcc library
[08:48] <SnakeDiver> I see it on Ubuntu boot for Install:  Buffer I/O Error on HDC
[08:48] <oxygen> i want to write c code
[08:48] <asfalt> mikejanssen my brother was running the vista beta or some crap, i installed ubuntu for him, now he installed it on his gfriends computer also, vista 0, ubuntu 2
[08:48] <asfalt> ;)
[08:48] <oxygen> but library not found
[08:48] <mikejanssen> i had vista RTM installed
[08:49] <mikejanssen> = X
[08:49] <HymnToLife> oxygen, gcc is not a library dude, it's the GNU C Compiler
[08:49] <lojikal> afterstep: ah, you're right -- Digital Research created DR-DOS, then, when they wouldn't sell it to IBM, IMB partnered with MS to make MS-DOS
[08:49] <chemaja> wow that's weird i just had a problem with /usr/lib/libgcc
[08:49] <_`XeOn_> bravo
[08:49] <oxygen> yes
[08:49] <mikejanssen> then i uninstalled to put ubuntu on
[08:49] <afterstep> gnu c compiler collection
[08:49] <oxygen> GNU C cumpiler ..
[08:49] <afterstep> :p
[08:49] <oxygen> i need socket.h studio.h
[08:49] <mikejanssen> but, im getting vista ultimate and office pro 2k7 for free, in march
[08:49] <mikejanssen> so i dont know what imma do
[08:49] <HymnToLife> oxygen, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[08:49] <mikejanssen> heh
[08:49] <afterstep> mikejanssen: give away the cds
[08:49] <afterstep> duh
[08:49] <mikejanssen> give away...or sell
[08:49] <mikejanssen> hmmm...
[08:49] <mikejanssen> vista ultimate could get a pretty penny
[08:50] <_`XeOn_> i just lost a lot of files that was in win32 but who cares  bittorrent month baby
[08:50] <afterstep> unless there's a no resell clause on the eula
[08:50] <lojikal> have you read some of the crazy flaws in vista? i used it for awhile (rc2) and swiched back to xp... couldn't stand it
[08:50] <mikejanssen> who knows
[08:50] <lojikal> basically they've reskinned xpmce at this point
[08:50] <mikejanssen> rtm worked fine for me lojikal
[08:50] <afterstep> vista is getting bashed from every angle
[08:50] <afterstep> even microsoft advocates
[08:50] <mikejanssen> yea, they have sp1 in the works already
[08:50] <mikejanssen> 'fiji'
[08:51] <_`XeOn_> rtm just crash in my machine
[08:51] <mikejanssen> and there is a 'vienna' service pack they are working on for later this year
[08:51] <lojikal> i know, i was a supporter, then learned to hate it
[08:51] <afterstep> and like 90% of the reviews i've read have basically said that if you're using XP, there's no reason to upgrade to vista
[08:51] <lojikal> it installed in my machine, but too many little quirks to use it everyday
[08:51] <mikejanssen> vienna is supposedly going to change the look of vista
[08:51] <chemaja> windows is too hard to learn
[08:51] <mikejanssen> xp = best windows os
[08:51] <HymnToLife> mikejanssen, I'd rather say "least bad" :p
[08:52] <mikejanssen> heh
[08:52] <mikejanssen> i really do hope this is the year of linux...like they are saying
[08:52] <mikejanssen> i am loving it
[08:52] <_`XeOn_> even bin laden use linux
[08:52] <_`XeOn_> lol bad joke
[08:52] <afterstep> i'm a partner in a computer company, and that's all we push
[08:52] <afterstep> we don't install windows
[08:52] <HymnToLife> well, for me, it'll be the year I leave Linux
[08:53] <afterstep> generally ubuntu too
[08:53] <chemaja> this is the year i just stop caring about distros and get my hands dirty :D
[08:53] <lojikal> chuck norris used windows and ubuntu was born...
[08:53] <_`XeOn_> i just dont know why linux is  not the most used OS
[08:53] <lojikal> hymntolife, why?
[08:54] <mikejanssen> people = scared of change
[08:54] <mikejanssen> thats why
[08:54] <chemaja> _`XeOn_: GNU/Linux! :D
[08:54] <chemaja> :P
[08:54] <mikejanssen> nobody 30+ wants to learn linux
[08:54] <mikejanssen> heh
[08:54] <mikejanssen> they already know windows
[08:54] <_`XeOn_> heh
[08:54] <lojikal> you have to know a bit to get it working and hwot o use it
[08:54] <mikejanssen> does what they need, why change
[08:54] <_`XeOn_> kk im new to this
[08:54] <HymnToLife> lojikal, because I'm playing around with BSD stuff now and liking it a lot :p
[08:54] <joey1> hi
[08:54] <lojikal> windows still work on far more hw without configuration
[08:54] <lojikal> hi joey
[08:54] <chemaja> HymnToLife: which bsd?
[08:54] <_`XeOn_> i got divorced with microsoft a few hours ago
[08:54] <HymnToLife> Free
[08:54] <mikejanssen> i need a driver to make my mp150 printer work on ubuntu
[08:54] <mikejanssen> = (
[08:55] <afterstep> mikejanssen: if a customer asks me to install windows i make them read a copy of the eula
[08:55] <joey1> im new
[08:55] <mikejanssen> lol
[08:55] <chemaja> HymnToLife: i've run that before. for a couple of weeks
[08:55] <afterstep> they generally change their mind after that
[08:55] <_`XeOn_> lol
[08:55] <chemaja> iirc
[08:55] <mikejanssen> ive never read it
[08:55] <mikejanssen> = X
[08:55] <chemaja> lojikal: there's a billion FAQs -- check the web
[08:55] <_`XeOn_> and believe me if u read it u will be my hero
[08:55] <chemaja> lojikal: different code, different license, different heritage.
[08:56] <lojikal> still a unix base though?
[08:56] <chemaja> lojikal: yea
[08:56] <HymnToLife> different design, too and different philosophy
[08:56] <HymnToLife> lojikal, yes
[08:56] <lojikal> ahh
[08:56] <HymnToLife> actually, it's closer to the "original" UNIX than Linux is
[08:56] <lojikal> oh, isn't bsd what mac os is based on?
[08:56] <_`XeOn_> what u guys think about PLG?
[08:56] <HymnToLife> lojikal, partly, yep
[08:56] <Phonetic> yeesh, there are a lot of people in here
[08:57] <HymnToLife> actually, you can find pieces of BSD code in pretty much every OS
[08:57] <lojikal> better for problem solving :)
[08:57] <mikejanssen> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Software_Distribution
[08:57] <HymnToLife> even in Windows :p
[08:57] <Phonetic> heh good good
[08:57] <oxygen> hel.c:1:22: error: iostream.h: No such file or directory
[08:57] <lojikal> i bet microsoft uses linux to develop windows...
[08:57] <oxygen> it s not work ..
[08:57] <_`XeOn_> ubuntu comunity is growing
[08:57] <oxygen> i want to install all library
[08:57] <Phonetic> would anybody possibly be able to help me with an installation issue in regards to a bootable cd?
[08:57] <chemaja> lojikal: they're more likely to use BSD
[08:57] <gnoodles> can anyone tell me how to have ubuntu re-run its auto grub setup, either from the live CD or from rescue mode?
[08:57] <Manstein> Hymntolife: what advantages does FBSD have for u that LInux doesn't?
[08:58] <lojikal> chemaja sorry, i meant unix, i'm still new to the difference in terminology
[08:58] <chemaja> Manstein: better documentation imho :D
[08:58] <gnoodles> Phonetic> Probably, but you gotta ask a question...
[08:58] <afterstep> mikejanssen: http://web.archive.org/web/20060518123848/linuxadvocate.org/articles.php?p=1
[08:58] <lojikal> gnoodles grub-install i believe
[08:58] <lojikal> Phonetic ask away
[08:59] <frogzoo> lojikal: redmond admit to a linux presence
[08:59] <gnoodles> Thanks lojikal.
[08:59] <Phonetic> oh well then, whenever I boot from the cd I have the installation prompt, after I select start installation it goes black brings up the progress bar and then it gives me errors
[08:59] <chemaja> frogzoo: yea aren't they working with novell now :D
[08:59] <selinuxium> Hi all, I am in band and would like to build a disc burning machine. how difficult is it to send the burning information to all of the drives at once?
[09:00] <frogzoo> chemaja: there is that
[09:00] <frogzoo> beryl is pure lack of substance, but gosh when your boss looks over your shoulder - heh
[09:00] <Phonetic> sorry im on a kvm and i switched to grab the errors
[09:00] <afterstep> frogzoo: i like some of its features
[09:01] <HymnToLife> Manstein, it has that "ports" system which is the best way to install software I know of
[09:01] <mikejanssen> sweet eula
[09:01] <HymnToLife> it make building stuf from source as easy as installing packages in UBuntu
[09:01] <_`XeOn_> aggrrr
[09:01] <lojikal> sorry 'bout that
[09:01] <Phonetic> one error is "Hdc: timeout waiting for DMA not ready"
[09:01] <mikejanssen> = X
[09:01] <_`XeOn_> theres no way to fix my firefox plugin
[09:01] <mikejanssen> thank goodness for dual boots
[09:01] <Manstein> does it now? I always thought the LFS project was the only alternative :D
[09:01] <Phonetic> another is Buffer I/O error on device hdc logical block 357564
[09:01] <lojikal> i'm sure there is
[09:02] <Phonetic> and that's pretty much what i've been dealing with all night
[09:02] <chemaja> Manstein: i'm building-up an LFS right now
[09:02] <frogzoo> Phonetic: dude - back up data you need
[09:02] <_`XeOn_> Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: totem-gstreamer  (HELP)
[09:02] <arzi25> hi
[09:03] <Manstein> chemaja:gl and hf then :D
[09:03] <Phonetic> any reason?
[09:03] <Phonetic> its a test tower
[09:03] <chemaja> Manstein: HighFive?
[09:03] <arzi25> i need help installing beryl
[09:03] <Phonetic> there's nothing important on it
[09:03] <chemaja> Manstein: and "thanks"
[09:03] <chemaja> Manstein: i'm up to building gcc for the main system
[09:03] <chemaja> Manstein: using the Package User pkgmgmt. method
[09:03] <frogzoo> Phonetic: repeated timeouts on a hard disk is a sure sign the drive is failing
[09:04] <Phonetic> sigh
[09:04] <arzi25> could some experienced user help newbie to install beryl pls
[09:04] <Phonetic> so I should just drop a different hard drive in, because red hat doesn't have a problem installing from the cd
[09:05] <AmbientMst1> Grrr
[09:05] <frogzoo> Phonetic: ide or sata?
[09:05] <Phonetic> ide
[09:05] <Manstein> chemaja: i've always (3 times nwo) just typed the install, got me my first linux experiences.  For the absolute linux noob ubuntu is much more attractive (i'm one of the first time - linux noobs :D)
[09:05] <AmbientMst1> Can anyone help me? I'm not getting it to boot into linux at all
[09:05] <chemaja> Manstein: "typed the install" -- what do you mean?
[09:06] <Manstein> chemaja: just followed the book, and had to type everything myself (no pkg system)
[09:06] <HymnToLife> AmbientMst1, could you please be more specific ? What happens when you try to boot ?
[09:06] <_`XeOn_> ok im going back to windows
[09:06] <AmbientMst1> Ok
[09:06] <AmbientMst1> Well, I was waiting for a reply before I got specific
[09:06] <AmbientMst1> So I pop in the 5th live cd I've burned today
[09:07] <AmbientMst1> This one's clean (checked the sum)
[09:07] <AmbientMst1> And I change my sequence, load it up
[09:07] <AmbientMst1> Comes up on the screen
[09:07] <AmbientMst1> I choose Start Or Install Linux
[09:07] <frogzoo> Phonetic: you've set the jumpers to master/slaver properly?
[09:07] <chemaja> Manstein: ok. i'm still typing everything myself, i'm just building and install each app under seperate user accounts,  using sticky dirs for /usr/bin, /usr/lib etc.
[09:07] <incorrect> does anyone here know how to compile for i386 on ia64?
[09:07] <incorrect> amd64 even
[09:08] <AmbientMst1> So it gives me this error: I/O Error: Error reading boot cd. Huh, that's funny I said- that's the same message I keep getting. So I take it down, put it in another comp, and it says invalid or corrupt kernel image. Casper/VMLinuz cannot be found (when I check for defects)
[09:08] <Phonetic> yeah they're working as intended
[09:09] <Madpilot> AmbientMst1, but the md5sum checked out, and you burned slow - 4x or so?
[09:09] <AmbientMst1> Yes
[09:09] <Manstein> chemaja: Aaaaah. Well, i had the patience to do it on a spare 500 mhz laptop. Those time units they used? Man, 1 took like forever :D.
[09:09] <AmbientMst1> Sum checked out clean
[09:09] <AmbientMst1> Burned at 4
[09:10] <chalcedny> grep is kewl-dfrtttt
[09:10] <chemaja> Manstein: heh, yeah it takes a while. im doing it at work using vmware to run a linux live CD and also to map across to my real (host OS) partitions
[09:10] <Madpilot> AmbientMst1, but the liveCD doesn't even get to the first menu when it starts up?
[09:10] <AmbientMst1> You mean the boot options?
[09:10] <AmbientMst1> It gets to that
[09:10] <AmbientMst1> But as soon as I say Start Or Install or Start in safe graphics mode
[09:11] <chemaja> Manstein: that way i dont have to dual boot -- i can build it up while in windows (i need to be in windows for work).... when the system is done i just reboot into it (ie. i'm making a dual boot system)
[09:11] <AmbientMst1> It starts loading for about 5 min
[09:11] <AmbientMst1> Then gives me the I/O msg.
[09:11] <Madpilot> AmbientMst1, below 'Install' in that menu should be a "Check This CD" option - have you run that?
[09:11] <Manstein> chemaja: not quite @ that level yet myself :D
[09:11] <AmbientMst1> Yes
[09:12] <AmbientMst1> I said it said Casper/VMLinuz is missing or corrupted or something
[09:12] <Madpilot> AmbientMst1, then the burn didn't work, evidently. caspar is part of the livecd filesystem setup
[09:13] <AmbientMst1> Hrrrr
[09:14] <oxygen>  iostream.h: No such file or directory
[09:14] <oxygen> help me pls
[09:14] <chemaja> Manstein: heh, yea it's fairly intense. i'm doing it mainly for education.
[09:15] <Manstein> what firewall are u guys running?
[09:15] <tonyyarusso> !firewall | Manstein
[09:15] <ubotu> Manstein: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[09:15] <_`XeOn_> man i need help with totem
[09:15] <Madpilot> _`XeOn_, what's up w/ totem?
[09:16] <Phonetic> er don't want to be a bother, but are you still there frog?
[09:16] <_`XeOn_> i cant install totem firefox plugin
[09:16] <_`XeOn_> it says
[09:16] <_`XeOn_> Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: totem-gstreamer
[09:17] <frogzoo> Phonetic: here for a shortwhile - sup?
[09:17] <oxygen> how can install  iostream.h
[09:18] <_`XeOn_> im rcurrently removing all to try to reinstall but no idea if it goin to work
[09:19] <Phonetic> what do you suggest about the whole hdc error?
[09:19] <frogzoo> oxygen: think you need linux-headers-2.6.17-10-generic
[09:19] <Phonetic> just drop a new harddrive and move on
[09:19] <AstralJava> Hey guys, anyone tweaked T-bird to alert about new messages thru dbus?
[09:20] <linda> XeOn - Did you register plugins?
[09:20] <oxygen> E: Couldn't find package linux-headers-2.6.17-10-generic
[09:20] <_`XeOn_> i have no idea
[09:21] <oxygen> how can i install inux-headers-2.6.17-10-generic
[09:21] <gnoodles> Sorry, dumb question: How do I know which hard drive is my "first hard drive" to reinstall grub to? The BIOS just says the boot device is "hard drive". My SATA drive shows up first in dmesg, followed by hdc & hdd (hda is my cdrom).
[09:21] <_`XeOn_> i just unistall it but now i cant install again it says conflict with another application
[09:22] <frogzoo> Phonetic: I'd say check your cables/power/IDE jumpers - IDE just works - usually
[09:22] <linda> XeOn gst-register-0.8
[09:22] <frootstripe> hi everyone - I was copying a flac dir onto my drive and the drive just started spinning out of control. I shutdown all apps (I thought).  Could someone tell what might be
[09:22] <Phonetic> thanks ill check it out
[09:22] <frootstripe> going on
[09:22] <frogzoo> oxygen: sorry bum steer - you want libstdc++6-4.1-dev
[09:22] <_`XeOn_> what it do?
[09:22] <frogzoo> oxygen: sudo apt-get install libstdc++6-4.1-dev
[09:23] <oxygen> E: Couldn't find package libstdc++6-4.1-dev
[09:23] <_`XeOn_> bash: gst-register-0.8: command not found
[09:24] <oxygen> :(
[09:24] <Manstein> footstripe: U mean .flac files (lossless)?
[09:24] <frootstripe> yes
[09:25] <Manstein> footstripe: how long has the drive been in use?
[09:25] <frootstripe> 4 years around, i guess
[09:25] <_`XeOn_> should i do ?  rm -rf ~/.gstreamer-0.10
[09:25] <Manstein> footstripe: were u copying from and to the same disk?
[09:26] <Manstein> footstripe: or is there another drive involved?
[09:26] <frootstripe> manstein: from cd-drive to hdd
[09:26] <AmbientMst1> Well, all I have left are 680mb disks and those surely won't work.
[09:26] <linda> XeOn It resgisters the pluns-ins from the Gstreamers libraries, I think
[09:26] <erpo> How do I get per-wireless-network interface settings? When I connect to a certain network, I want a static IP. When I connect to another network, I want my laptop to get its information from DHCP. How?
[09:26] <AmbientMst1> Hmm, guess I'll have to wait for tomorrow
[09:26] <oxygen> help me .. why i can install ibstdc++6-4.1-dev
[09:26] <oxygen> E: Couldn't find package libstdc++6-4.1-dev
[09:26] <_`XeOn_> aaaahhh i dont know how to fix this
[09:26] <oxygen> i cany
[09:26] <Manstein> frootstripe: by spinning u mean a strange noise coming from the hd-drive?
[09:26] <oxygen> i cant
[09:27] <Manstein> frootstripe: which brand drive is it?
[09:27] <erpo> oxygen: There apparently isn't a package by that name.
[09:27] <linda> I would try 'gst-register-0.10'
[09:27] <oxygen> erpo.. i need libs
[09:28] <frootstripe> manstein: no, it isnt making any noise out of the ordinary, but it is spinning continously (both the cd-drive and hdd). when i stop the transfer, the hdd keeps spinning
[09:28] <oxygen> but i cant install it .(
[09:28] <erpo> oxygen: The -dev packages aren't needed to run any programs. Only to compile programs, because they contain no shared libraries.
[09:28] <_`XeOn_> bash: gst-register-0.10: command not found
[09:29] <Manstein> frootstripe: i think it is normal for the hdd to spin for some time after last data access, depends on settings i think?
[09:29] <linda> XeOn I thought you already installed
[09:30] <_`XeOn_> but it doesnt work
[09:30] <_`XeOn_> i cant watch any vid
[09:30] <gnoodles> Sorry, dumb question: How do I know which hard drive is my "first hard drive" to reinstall grub to? The BIOS just says the boot device is "hard drive". My SATA drive shows up first in dmesg, followed by hdc & hdd (hda is my cdrom).
[09:31] <frootstripe> manstein: i don't know, it seemed to be just going and going.... Seems to happen when I have many processes going.
[09:31] <linda> on Edgy
[09:31] <Madpilot> _`XeOn_, have you read the whole of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats through?
[09:31] <BoshiG3> !ati
[09:31] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:31] <Madpilot> gnoodles, you've got both SATA & ATA/IDE hard drives?
[09:31] <_`XeOn_> i did but i dont understand a thing
[09:32] <_`XeOn_> i just started using this today
[09:32] <Manstein> frootstripe: might be vertual memory?
[09:32] <gnoodles> Madpilot: Yes
[09:32] <Manstein> frootstripe: how many ram do u have in ur machine?
[09:32] <linda> sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse \gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg gstreamer0.8-mad gstreamer0.8-plugins \gstreamer0.8-lame
[09:32] <frootstripe> manstein: 2G
[09:32] <yopad> whats the fastest browser...is it swiftfox?
[09:33] <yopad> or firefox with fasterfox?
[09:33] <Manstein> frootstripe: soz, dunno m8
[09:33] <linda> then - gst-register-0.8
[09:33] <gnoodles> Madpilot: Is it a problem to mix SATA & ATA?
[09:34] <BoshiG3> Will a Radeon 9000 not work with ubuntu properly or something?
[09:34] <Madpilot> _`XeOn_, go through RestrictedFormats again, slowly, and read some of the pages it links to for more detail on istalling stuff in Ubuntu & other subjects
[09:34] <MrWGW_Alt> good evening
[09:34] <MrWGW_Alt> how do I run as root?
[09:34] <Madpilot> gnoodles, shouldn't be, at one point I had 1 SATA, 2 ATA, now I've just got the one SATA
[09:34] <MrWGW_Alt> and yes, I know, its discouraged
[09:35] <MrWGW_Alt> but I need to access the filesystem
[09:35] <_`XeOn_> linda: thanks ill try it ur linda
[09:35] <frootstripe> manstein: no worries, seems to not be a problem when I'm not running a lot of stuff. Just not used this happening in linux! :)
[09:35] <BoshiG3> Can I install open source ati drivers with a ATI Radeon 9000?
[09:36] <gnoodles> Madpiot: Good. But no idea how to tell which one is the actual boot drive?
[09:36] <linda> O'REILLY Ubuntu Hacks
[09:39] <BoshiG3> Can someone help me with installing ATI drivers please?
[09:39] <Zaggynl> woot
[09:39] <Zaggynl> Envy has been updated for ATI!
[09:39] <BoshiG3> Oh really!?
[09:39] <BoshiG3> Link?
[09:39] <Zaggynl> http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html and http://albertomilone.com/wordpress/
[09:39] <spinacz> siema
[09:39] <Zaggynl> Someone send him a ATI RADEON X1600 PRO
[09:39] <Zaggynl> I guess that got things rolling :)
[09:39] <_`XeOn_> but thats nvidia
[09:40] <Zaggynl> 'The update is warmly recommended to ATI users.'
[09:40] <Zaggynl> read the second link
[09:40] <_`XeOn_> true
[09:40] <Zaggynl> '"Envy" is a command line application for Ubuntu Linux written in Python which will:
[09:40] <Zaggynl> 1) detect the model of your graphic card (ATI and Nvidia cards are supported)'
[09:40] <_`XeOn_> nice i gonna use it
[09:40] <Zaggynl> I've been using it for nvidia for a while, would be awesome if it worked for ATI too
[09:40] <Zaggynl> Lots of people having a lot of problems with ATI
[09:41] <BoshiG3> so, I can use normal envy, and will be able to install ATI drivers?
[09:41] <Zaggynl> He claims you will be
[09:41] <_`XeOn_> ATI always got insues even in win32 OS
[09:41] <BoshiG3> when is that?
[09:41] <Zaggynl> I haven't tried those for ATI myself yet
[09:41] <Zaggynl> BoshiG3, well, Envy should support ATI right now
[09:41] <BoshiG3> So, it can't do ATI yet?
[09:42] <BoshiG3> ah..
[09:42] <BoshiG3> Been a while since I messed with Ubuntu. Gave up last time due to nvidia problems
[09:42] <BoshiG3> Was a cheap walmart card, didn't work right with ubuntu
[09:42] <BoshiG3> now I have 2 comps, so I'm messing with it again,
[09:42] <Zaggynl> Official Envy thread on the forum: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=255929
[09:43] <BoshiG3> I actually like it better, just couldn't get it to work right with my graphics card last time
[09:43] <adamonline45> Does the memtest on the ubuntu server cd just loop over and over?  It got to 95%, and the next time I looked it was back to 10%...
[09:43] <gnoodles> Sorry, one more try then I'll go away: Does anyone know how to tell which of my HDs is the actual boot drive? BIOS just says "Hard Drive". I assume it's either my SATA drive or HDC (nothing on HDA or B). I need to know to reinstall grub.
[09:44] <Zaggynl> gnoodles, try 'sudo gparted'
[09:44] <_`XeOn_> hmmm well i installed that but i keep having the same problem choppy images with wmv format
[09:45] <Zaggynl> !wmv

[09:45] <Rynoo> anyone know how to change the colors of the menu bar(s) that contain the applications - places - system menus?
[09:45] <gnoodles> Zaggyl: Can't get into ubuntu to run gnome. Can I just use parted from rescue mode?
[09:46] <Zaggynl> oh sorry, didn't know you were at CLI
[09:46] <gnoodles> Yup. My Grub appears to be hosed so I can only get to rescue.
[09:46] <BoshiG3> gnoodles: get a live cd
[09:46] <Rynoo> anyone know how to change the colors of the menu bar(s) that contain the applications - places - system menus?
[09:47] <gnoodles> Got a live CD.
[09:47] <gnoodles> HOw does that help?
[09:47] <mneptok> gnoodles: boot off it, chroot, reinstall grub
[09:48] <gnoodles> I can reinstall grub from rescue, but only if I know the boot drive. I presume I still need to know the boot drive if I boot from an insta;ll CD
[09:49] <gnoodles> At least I assume I can reinstall grub from rescue...
[09:50] <gnoodles> Here's the original problem... Getting "error 18: selected cyl. exceeds max supported by BIOS" when I try to boot into ubuntu. Was working before ubuntu crashed earlier tonight
[09:50] <gnoodles> I'm hoping that reinstalling grub will fix the problem.
[09:51] <BoshiG3> Where is Envy at, after it's installed?
[09:51] <riotkittie> sudo update db && locate envy
[09:51] <riotkittie> errr .... sudo updatedb && locate envy
[09:51] <linda> XeOn I assume you have w32codecs, mplayer and dsl. Gtreamer work great for me
[09:51] <gnoodles> You need to download envy to your desktop & run it from there.
[09:52] <BoshiG3> I did, some installer package
[09:52] <BoshiG3> .deb
[09:52] <Zaggynl> How can I make the startup sounds play without ESD?
[09:52] <BoshiG3> off of the website
[09:52] <gnoodles> Sorry, disregard that envy comment. I'm thinking of something else
[09:52] <thufir007> first ubuntu install:  onto slave drive next to windows partition.  I haven't done any research into this...coming from fedora.
[09:52] <BoshiG3> lol
[09:54] <fabio__|> i tryed to install ubuntu on SCSI disks.. the partitioner correctly sees the disks, but after rebooting, the boot loader is not found :|
[09:57] <BoshiG3> Wow, that's cool
[09:58] <BoshiG3> You can middle click on the icons next to your system menu and you can drag them
[09:58] <BoshiG3> I still can't find envy though XD
[09:58] <BoshiG3> I'm laughing at how stupid I feel right now, but I have two monitors very close together, CRT's, and it's been making my eyes and head area feel weird
[09:59] <BoshiG3> Static or magnetism or something
[09:59] <interfear> I have a burned cd with a *.mdf image file I wish to mount in linux, i can view the file when in windows, however from linux i see no files on the cd.. any ideas?
[10:01] <Zaggynl> Anyone knows which file I have to edit to play a sound a boot?
[10:02] <graniti> Hi. I have to hide the mouse cursor before launching a process... is there a way to do it? thnks
[10:07] <thufir007> fedora allows installation from a single cd with "askmethod".  can I do somehing similar with ubuntu?
[10:07] <barata> is 6.10 good?

[10:12] <oxygen> i want to all  install c and c+ librarys
[10:12] <oxygen> how can i do ?
[10:12] <BoshiG3> How do I restart from console?
[10:12] <Madpilot> BoshiG3, "sudo shutdown -r now" will do it - the -r is 'restart'
[10:13] <BoshiG3> ah thank you so much
[10:13] <BoshiG3> Can you help me with something else too?
[10:13] <BoshiG3> please?
[10:14] <BoshiG3> I'm trying to install my ATI drivers with Envy, but it encounters package not found errors

[10:15] <BoshiG3> that's not the same thing
[10:16] <BoshiG3> How do I change my repositories?
[10:17] <adamonline45> are you using a gui?
[10:17] <BoshiG3> yeah, GNOME
[10:17] <adamonline45> Click System > Snaptic Package Manager > Settings > Depositories
[10:17] <adamonline45> er... repositories :D
[10:18] <chemaja> heheheheh
[10:18] <BoshiG3> Where is Synaptic Package Manager at?
[10:18] <BoshiG3> lol, my fault
[10:18] <adamonline45> hahah, my girlfriend laughed and said 'suppositories' and threw me off...  It could been worse ;)
[10:18] <BoshiG3> I found it
