[18:07] <magnetik> I have a little problem on intrepid. I sometimes have a "GTK1 look" theme, instead of the normal "GTK2".  Just disabled and enabled wireless network (right mouse on tray), but it stopped to work! Can anyone help? I have atheros wireless card. I used this manual http://unsharptech.com/2008/10/31/atheros-wireless-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex/ to set it up first, but now it doesn't work
[18:09] <shawnmstout> ok
[18:09] <NicDumZ> Photoguy, I'm looking for info right now. gnome theme, right ?
[18:09] <Photoguy> Yes
[18:09] <ikaruga2099> hi all... say I installed ubuntu on my grandma's PC... how can I remotely admin her machine?
[18:09] <Photoguy> NicDumZ: yes
[18:09] <dr_Willis> !remote
[18:09] <Slart> ikaruga2099: ssh is a good start
[18:09] <Slart> ikaruga2099: the rest can be done from there
[18:09] <PSPdemon> oh hey dr_Willis :)
[18:09] <_VIM_> !vnc
[18:09] <steve_baker> i have a simple microsoft usb optical mouse and the scroll wheel doesn't work in intrepid, any ideas?
[18:09] <FreshPrince> anybody know how to mount a LG Mobile Phone?
[18:09] <dr_Willis> ikaruga2099,  ssh, and vncserver, -  but you got to be sure you can get through her router/isp to  her machine. :)
[18:09] <kriss3d> ikaruga2099 you can ssh her ip and log in that way
[18:10] <dr_Willis> FreshPrince,  with a cable.. most of those have a 'usb mode' you have to enable in the menus
[18:10] <ikaruga2099> thatl's the problem ....
[18:10] <slb_> moljac024, gotta go, IM me if you need more help
[18:10] <ikaruga2099> guys ... ssh/vnc require that she's not behind a firewall... However, I'm sure there are programs that will allow her to connect to ME ... as opposed to the other way
[18:11] <steve_baker> you just need to configure the firewall to allow the ssh traffic
[18:11] <ikaruga2099> or am I wrong?
[18:11] <ikaruga2099> steve_baker: don't have access to it ....
[18:11] <steve_baker> you could setup an ssh server on your end
[18:11] <ikaruga2099> ah... I see remote help assistant...
[18:11] <NicDumZ> Photoguy, seems quite hard. Can you try renaming the folder of the faulty theme ?
[18:11] <Slart> ikaruga2099: I think realvnc had a small executable that initiated the connection to your vnc client
[18:11] <steve_baker> and have them run an ssh client with a reverse tunnel
[18:11] <jota-_> hey im getting a segmentation fault when trying to run asterisk's oh323 channel on ubuntu? anyone has any idea on how to fix that?
[18:11] <Photoguy> NicDumZ: I can't login at all
[18:11] <moljac024> slb_: I found it
[18:12] <moljac024> roaming mode was off
[18:12] <NicDumZ> Photoguy, but you can login doing ctrl+alt+f1 !
[18:12] <moljac024> in some network configuration program
[18:12] <steve_baker> i have a simple microsoft usb optical mouse and the scroll wheel doesn't work in intrepid, any ideas?
[18:12] <rainmanp7> .
[18:12] <ikaruga2099> steve_baker: any tutorials on how to do that?
[18:12] <Photoguy> NicDumZ: no, it just goes to the terminal
[18:12] <slb_> moljac024, good to go?
[18:12] <NicDumZ> Photoguy, yes, then login in the terminal
[18:12] <moljac024> I recall him saying that somebody was trying to set up a wireless connection for him
[18:12] <NicDumZ> Photoguy, and rename the folder from the terminal
[18:12] <moljac024> must have been a dumb tard
[18:12] <moljac024> :D
[18:12] <Photoguy> NicDumZ: oh...

[18:16] <gabriel__> how can i fix this?
[18:16] <Skeptiker> Jack_Sparrow, It works! Thanks!
[18:16] <Jack_Sparrow> gabriel__ sudo apt-get install pastebinit  && pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list
[18:17] <NicDumZ> Photoguy, when you got the command line, "cd ~/.themes", "ls" to get the theme list, and "mv faulty-theme temp" to rename your faulty theme
[18:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Skeptiker cool... glad you were able to fix it
[18:17] <Chocotoff> i want to enter the machine in console, after that i don´t want to login again in gdm. Instead i just want to enter a window manager directly
[18:17] <gabriel__> Thanks Jack_Sparrow
[18:17] <dr_Willis> Chocotoff,  disable the gdm service.. edit the .xinitrc as you want.. and use 'startx'
[18:17] <Jack_Sparrow> gabriel__ that will just show us your sources after you  give us the link
[18:17] <gabriel__> ok
[18:17] <Chocotoff> alright ... can i use multiple .xinitrc´s for different startups?
[18:18] <igdijdg> any good blog website about opensource program
[18:18] <NicDumZ> pastebinit ? looks like a *great* util for helping out. I learned something today
[18:18] <dr_Willis> Chocotoff,  you could set up a complex menu  in .xinitrc and have it ask if you wanted... its a fancy bash shell script :)
[18:18] <gabriel__> E: Malformed line 60 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (URI parse) E: The list of sources could not be read.  This is what appears
[18:18] <GaMbi_DK> "sudo rm /home/gambi/.wine/drive_c/WAR/" -> cannot remove...... Is a directory.  Guessing "rm" isnt the right command for directory's.. what is? :)
[18:18] <Skeptiker> I am trying to install my webcam and I am following this guide: http://m560x-driver.wiki.sourceforge.net/howto_install It worked very well and I could see myself in cheese. However, then I wrote (stupidly) "export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so" and now my webcam is not working properly. Is there anyway of reversing this?
[18:18] <dr_Willis> Chocotoff,  or checkout the 'startx' man pages.. it may take arguments
[18:18] <amitz> where can i get a tabular list of the version of important libraries used in various ubuntu version? thx in advance
[18:18] <NicDumZ> GaMbi_DK, rm -r ?
[18:18] <Chocotoff> thanks :)
[18:19] <steve_baker> i have a simple microsoft usb optical mouse and the scroll wheel doesn't work in intrepid, any ideas?
[18:19] <GaMbi_DK> NicDumZ, thx :) (what is -r) ?
[18:19] <NicDumZ> GaMbi_DK, -r stands for recursive, i.e. remove the contents and when the folder is empty, remove it
[18:19] <adam__> i thought recursive was -R
[18:19] <slb_> steve_baker, should work, has it ever worked?
[18:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Skeptiker use your editor to remove that change in =/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so"
[18:19] <NicDumZ> adam__, both work, afair
[18:19] <GaMbi_DK> NicDumZ, thx m8! wary inlightning
[18:20] <steve_baker> it works with other os's
[18:20] <kriss3d> i have a question about wubi.. is it possible to download the image so it doesnt have to download whenever i want to reinstall ubuntu entirely ?
[18:20] <steve_baker> it worked in 8.04
[18:20] <Baatti> Is there software for linux like Photobooth?
[18:20] <amitz> adam_: sometimes it's -r, sometimes -R, depends on application
[18:20] <gabriel__> Jack_Sparrow, it appears E: Malformed line 60 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (URI parse) E: The list of sources could not be read.
[18:20] <_VIM_> igdijdg: try this http://www.fsf.org/blogs/
[18:20] <Jack_Sparrow> gabriel__ Look for a backup list in that folder
[18:20] <NicDumZ> GaMbi_DK, welcome; try to learn the "man" reflex : in this case "man rm" gives you the answer
[18:21] <slb_> steve_baker, stumped
[18:21] <steve_baker> :(
[18:21] <Jack_Sparrow> gabriel__ from term cd/etc/apt                          ls sources.*
[18:21] <balachmar> Anyone know some good software to easily put digital video files on a DVD that is readable by a dvd player?
[18:21] <GaMbi_DK> NicDumZ, thx I will! :)
[18:21] <NicDumZ> ;)
[18:21] <Jack_Sparrow> gabriel__ sudo apt-get install pastebinit  && pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list      should work if you are using ubuntu
[18:23] <Baatti> anyone know a program like Photobooth, that'll take pictures via my webcam?
[18:23] <_VIM_> !info cheese
[18:23] <miha> cheese is greaT:)
[18:23] <miha> it even says... CHEESE
[18:23] <Baatti> so, sudo apt-get install cheese?

[18:26] <NicDumZ> gabriel__, if you do what you're told, the command which has been given to you will provide us a way to get your sources list
[18:26] <marek_> hi, i have a serious problem, when i try to login, screen flickers, and then i see loginbox again, can you help me?
[18:26] <elliott> is there any reason why my PId numbers would be skyrocketing? I run "ps aux |grep aux" and the pid is 2000, but ten seconds later i run it again and it's 2200
[18:27] <steve_baker> muddler, in the install just choose not to install a bootloader
[18:27] <elliott> the actual number of processes doesn't change
[18:27] <NicDumZ> elliott, why would you worry?
[18:27] <muddler> ok, thanks steve
[18:27] <elliott> it seems strange
[18:27] <steve_baker> its a button on the last dialog
[18:27] <steve_baker> Advanced
[18:27] <NicDumZ> elliott, unless you have significant slowness... I don't think there's anything to worry about
[18:27] <elliott> what on earth is spawning 200 processes in 10 seconds?
[18:28] <muddler> ok, cheers (I'm using the alternate cd installer so hope it's on there too)
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> elliott: use ps -ef to find out
[18:28] <Chocotoff> I made my samba configs dissappear... after that i tried to purge sambe and reinstall... but they are still not there
[18:29] <Chocotoff> how can i get them back hehe
[18:29] <NicDumZ> elliott, think about it, maybe the highest pid achieved was 2150, but all the processes stopped, then 50 process appear (whatever) while 50 other die: you get same number of process, and it appears that pids "jumped" of 200 units
[18:29] <Guest59870> hola
[18:29] <gabriel__> Thanks a lot Jack_Sparrow, my problem is solved
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> Chocotoff: restore from your backups
[18:29] <Jack_Sparrow> gabriel__ glad to help
[18:29] <NicDumZ> elliott, it's not because the highest pid you see is 2000 that the next spawned process will get 2001 as a pid =)
[18:29] <Guest59870> hola
[18:29] <Slown> hello
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> !hi | Guest59870
[18:30] <Slown> I have 2 pc
[18:30] <Chocotoff> i never made nog backups :P
[18:30] <Chocotoff> *g
[18:30] <Slown> I want to upload files from my pc2 to my pc1
[18:30] <Guest59870> hola slown
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> Chocotoff: then you will have to reform the file
[18:30] <SiVA_> but I'm using gnome for the window manager
[18:30] <Chocotoff> It doesn´t come with a fresh install?
[18:30] <Slown> I want to administrate my blog
[18:30] <SiVA_> some of my kde apps don't have a title bar, border when using ubuntu
[18:30] <Slown> from ftp
[18:31] <Slown> do you have any ideas ?
[18:31] <Slown> to do this
[18:31] <defranzi> hey guys, anybody here to help me with my audio problem?
[18:31] <steve_baker> Slown, fireftp?
[18:31] <ActionParsnip> SiVA_: if you are using an nvidia card with compiz yuo need some extra lines in xorg.conf
[18:31] <Guest59870> como instalo una impresora canon mp210 en ubuntu 8.04?
[18:31]  * NicDumZ heats "audio problems"... and runs
[18:31] <NicDumZ> hears*
[18:31] <NicDumZ> grrr
[18:31] <Slown> I want only /var/www
[18:31] <NicDumZ> failure.
[18:31] <Slown> not all files
[18:31] <Slown> just to update my blog
[18:31] <elliott> NicDumZ: if I run the command I posted above several times per second (up, enter, up, enter, repeat quickly), it increases normally mostly, but once per second it jumps by 20
[18:32] <SiVA_> ActionParsnip: I'm using nvidia, but no compiz
[18:32] <kriss3d> Hmm whats the correct file i should use for loading my fw script ?
[18:32] <NicDumZ> elliott, well you most likely have discovered the activity of some daemons here
[18:32] <leeping2008> Hi there, I just ssh'd into my machine and I can't get X windows .. I don't even get a $DISPLAY environment variable.  Am I missing any packages?  Thanks!
[18:33] <NicDumZ> elliott, makes sense right? from time to time, daemons are scheduled to run, wake up, spawn a few processes, and wait()
[18:33] <elliott> found it, /bin/sh /etc/ati/authatieventsd.sh grant :0 /tmp/atievntX.pyM4QE
[18:33] <kfyit> leeping2008 -> from same hosts?  did you try with -Y option ?
[18:33] <mikebeecham> I know this is a bit of a long shot, but Apple Mac have a widget that tells you when your favourite TV Shows are on next...does Ubuntu have anything similiar in screenlets, etc?
[18:33] <jken146> leeping2008: you want to do ssh -Y to get X forwarding
[18:33] <leeping2008> kfyit and jken146, I did use the -Y option
[18:34] <adam__> in the ubuntu bash shell, items that are blocked red with white text represent what? i.e. mount, su, unmount
[18:35] <AJC_Z0> adam__: Look at the "ls -l" output
[18:35] <_VIM_> Slown: i'd recommend openssh-server instead of FTPd its safer, and with ssh you can remote control your blog as well, im not really good with configuring all that , so you'll have to google it :)
[18:35] <AJC_Z0> Compare that to another executable
[18:35] <ozzloy> what do i have to install to get the command "repo"?
[18:35] <kfyit> leeping2008 -> the hosts you logged into, whats the result of    xpdyinfo   command ?
[18:36] <ozzloy> http://source.android.com/roadmap/cupcake as in installing this
[18:36] <leeping2008> kfyit, the output is "command not found"

[18:37] <ActionParsnip> SiVA_: make sure you have the glx lines like mine
[18:37] <SiVA_> thanks
[18:37] <kfyit> leeping2008 -> i guess that tells you that X is not running on the host you sshed into
[18:38] <Dan9311> Hello, I'm running the latest version of ubuntu. I'm trying to install a new theme, but it is not working. Instead the theme window closes.
[18:38] <Dan9311> I'm  trying to get this (http://maketecheasier.com/turn-your-ubuntu-hardy-to-mac-osx-leopard/2008/07/23) working
[18:38] <leeping2008> kfyit, if it helps at all, I installed the Ubuntu server.  It doesn't come with an X desktop, and I'm guessing that either I'm missing a package or I need to start a daemon
[18:38] <slb_> Dan9311, why bother?
[18:38] <Dan9311> slb_ : Because I want it..
[18:38] <NicDumZ> ozzloy, what about reading http://source.android.com/download/using-repo ^-^ ? there's an "installing repo" section
[18:38] <kfyit> leeping2008 -> i think the server install does not have X server installed,
[18:39] <ozzloy> NicDumZ: thanks
[18:39] <leeping2008> kfyit, that's what I thought .. I would like to install the X server, but I don't know what package I need
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> Dan9311: run the theme manager from cterminal, when it crshes you will get intelligent outputs
[18:39] <Dan9311> Anyone help with what I just asked/

[18:45] <leeping2008> jken146, is there a reason for xserver-xorg to be installed but not running? perhaps?
[18:45] <kriss3d> Houston whast the problem ?
[18:45] <german> hola
[18:46] <Houston> I downloaded ubunto 8.10 but before i installed i chose the option to check and see if the disk was corrupt
[18:46] <Guest39566> algun canal en español?
[18:46] <Houston> it said something to the affect of my cpu was not compatible with the version i have
[18:46] <NicDumZ> !spanish
[18:46] <adam__> !latin
[18:46] <Guest39566> gracias
[18:47] <Scunizi> Houston: this is a big channel with lots of people.. use the nick of the person you're talking to at the beginning of your line.. type the first few characters and hit TAB to auto complete..
[18:47] <jken146> leeping2008: maybe, I'm not sure
[18:47] <Houston> sorry :-(
[18:47] <Guest57064> !french
[18:47] <Scunizi> Houston: then you're line to them will be highlighted on their end.. no worries.. just makes following the conversation easier..
[18:47] <Scunizi> :)
[18:47] <Houston> msg kriss3d better?
[18:48] <npobajl> Scunizi: not exactly... the XChat doesn't seem to auto-complete correctly... :) Well... not allways... my XChat @ work does it properly, @ home two, but the one on my laptop doesn't ... ;)
[18:48] <Scunizi> Houston: you don't have to use msg in the line.. not necessary.
[18:48] <leeping2008> jken146, I'll try to figure it out .. thanks :)
[18:48] <Scunizi> npobajl: I don't have a problem.. using xchat2 not xchat gnome.. sometimes the there are several nicks that the characters are the same and you have to include more.. but no issues here.
[18:49] <kfyit> leeping2008 -> does it have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf  file?
[18:50] <akravets> hello
[18:50] <Scunizi> Houston: just ask you question and if someone knows the answer they pipe up.. :)
[18:50] <npobajl> Scunizi: XchatGnome is what I'm using now only because of the auto-complete ;) Told u several lines up - it is not everywhere that my auto-complete doesn't work... maybe I should consider re-installing the program....
[18:50] <alex_sleiborg> Hi. I have installed ubuntu 8.10 on my mothers computer instead of win xp. But i can't get the lan to work, lspci says that a broadcom corp. NetLink BCM5787M Gigabit ethernet PCI Express is there?
[18:51] <tag> is there any reason to put partitions in any particular order?  If I want to separate my home directory and /, should I put one infront of the other or does it matter at all?
[18:51] <blip-> hi all,   on 8.04 i've got the latest repo drivers for nvidia (version 169 nvidia-glx-new).... This version is old so I uninstalled it and then downloaded the latest 180 drivers from nvidia.... ran the installer and have it compile the kernel module... restarted the machine and X doesn't start up nor can I get to tt0 shell login.... the monitor is on but nothing there... machine only responds to ctrl-alt-del,  ctrl-alt-backspace has no effect.   I didn't
[18:51] <blip-> modify xorg.conf.   I managed to ssh into the machine and fix it by removing 180 and restoring the old drivers from the repositories.... but i still need the new version... any idea what happened there ?   thanks
[18:51] <PSPdemon> how do i list all my dev devices?
[18:51] <npobajl> alex_sleiborg: what does ifconfig say?
[18:51] <Scunizi> npobajl: yea.. realized that after I hit enter.. sorry 'bout that.. didn't read fully.  If it was an upgraded system just rename ~./xchat2 to something and see if that fixes it.
[18:51] <Houston> i downloaded ubuntu 8.10, i chose the option to check if disk is corrupt, it said that the version of ubuntu i have is for certain cpu's where as mine is an i868..
[18:51] <PSPdemon> ( or atleast how i can find out what dev is my cd/dvd burner
[18:51] <Houston> so im guessing i need a different version of ubuntu for my comp.
[18:51] <PSPdemon> lol
[18:51] <akravets> just wanted to say kudos to Ubuntu Remix! I had Ubuntu Hardy running on my Lenovo S10 for a while now, and wasn't impressed with performance: it's an Atom processor and I am running on 512 MB of RAM. After installing Remix, this thing runs like a champ. Thanks guys!
[18:51] <npobajl> nice split
[18:51] <Scunizi> Houston: what did you download?
[18:52] <soh-mrtot> hi all.
[18:52] <Houston> ubuntu 8.10 from the  ubuntu website
[18:52] <dambulu> hi, is it possible to mount as a non root user ?
[18:52] <npobajl> alex_sleiborg: what does ifconfig say?
[18:52] <soh-mrtot> Question: I want to add a simple command to my startup sequence. But it should be executed as the last command at all. how can i do that?
[18:52] <Scunizi> Houston: there are a couple of versions.. Desktop livd x86 and Desktop live amd64 and Alternate Install cd
[18:53] <Scunizi> Houston: what kind of machine do you have?
[18:53] <Houston> disk was name ubuntu 8.10 amd6
[18:53] <kriss3d> it looks like he has a itanium cpu
[18:53] <Scunizi> kriss3d: Houston I don't know what an itanium cpu is.. can you help him kriss3d
[18:54] <alex_sleiborg> npobajl: It won't get any IP. But there also a Atheros 802.11 wireless card, and i can't get that to work either
[18:54] <NicDumZ> PSPdemon, lspci
[18:54] <kriss3d> Scunizi i think he just needs to get the itanium version
[18:54] <npobajl> alex_sleiborg: does your ISP/router use DHCP or manually configured IP addresses?
[18:54] <unop> alex_sleiborg, what model is your atheros card?
[18:54] <Houston> i have a toshiba laptop, Gen. Intel CPU T2050
[18:54] <Chocotoff> Anyone knows how i can revive my samba?  http://pastebin.com/m5803de3d
[18:54] <Scunizi> kriss3d: didn't know there was one.. can you point him to it?
[18:55] <nite_johnboy> Hi - Does anyone know if ATI HD 3450 video card is supported in Ibex ? ?
[18:55] <wmoraes> oi
[18:55] <PSPdemon> NicDumZ, that just lists my pci devices
[18:55] <kriss3d> i cant.. but i belive i saw a version for itanium..
[18:55] <NicDumZ> PSPdemon, what do you need?
[18:55] <alex_sleiborg> npobajl: They use DHCP
[18:55] <FD_F> is Straw rss reader still supported ?
[18:55] <PSPdemon> my cd/dvd drive
[18:55] <jimmygoon> I wish I could get linkinus to not show join/parts :(
[18:55] <NicDumZ> PSPdemon, ls /dev/ ?
[18:55] <PSPdemon> its probably /dev/scd0
[18:55] <PSPdemon> hmm
[18:56] <Scunizi> kriss3d: why wouldn't the x86 version work for Houston ??  is it that different?  (address to me and Houston so he can follow)
[18:56] <alex_sleiborg> unop: I actually don't know what card it is. But lspci says that is a AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express adapter
[18:56] <npobajl> alex_sleiborg: had a WiFi card like that.... couldn't get it to work no matter what!
[18:57] <kriss3d> Scunizi Houston i just belive i saw a version specially for it.. but i suppose she should try google for ubuntu and i868
[18:57] <IndyGunFreak> alex_sleiborg: that device is easy to get working, if you can give me about 20min or so.. i'll be right back and talk you through it
[18:57] <npobajl> alex_sleiborg: are you sure your ISP has added your MAC address in his list?
[18:58] <the_insider> hi
[18:58] <leeping2008> kfyit, I think I fixed my problem.  I installed xinit and xauth
[18:58] <Droopsta915> Hello, I'm trying to set up my Evolution Mail Account. I use yahoo, how do know what type of mail server that is?
[18:58] <leeping2008> and I typed in "startx"
[18:58] <alex_sleiborg> npobajl: Thats sounds like a lot of trouble. Maybe it's just easier to install xp again
[18:58] <poncio> hi! i just update my kernell and my restricted drivers stoped working... how do i fix this? going to 'system'->'administration'->'restricted drivers' does not show my driver....
[18:58] <the_insider> when i install "libssl0.9.8" where is it stored ?
[18:58] <leeping2008> I'm not sure how to make it start with the computer, though...
[18:58] <alex_sleiborg> IndyGunFreak: That's sounds great:)
[18:58] <npobajl> alex_sleiborg: it's really easier just to pick up the phone :) Do you have a router there, or the cable gets directly into the PC?
[18:59] <unop> alex_sleiborg, you don't happen to have the NC10 there, do you?
[18:59] <alex_sleiborg> npobajl: Sure, my own laptop is using same connection right now, so i can't see why i should not work with the other computer
[19:00] <alex_sleiborg> npobajl: There is a router
[19:00] <kouya> what is cabextract used for?
[19:00] <diffred> what the heck youtube main page is not loading, but the rest of internet works well :S
[19:00] <unop> alex_sleiborg, on my laptop - i had to build the madwifi drivers from source to get the wireless NIC working .. i believe it's the same chipset you have
[19:01] <npobajl> alex_sleiborg: Most ISPs lock down connections via LAN Card's MAC address ... so all you have to do is call them. If you do have a router beside you that's another story... but if you got router there I still can't figure out why doesn't he give you an internal IP address...
[19:01] <alex_sleiborg> unop: What is a NC10?
[19:01] <Houston> not sure that im sending these mess. right to both u Scunizi  and kriss3d
[19:01] <unop> kouya, extracting .CAB files  (microsoft cabinet files)
[19:01] <unop> alex_sleiborg, it's a netbook from samsung - has the same atheros chipset
[19:02] <Scunizi> Houston: Do you remember if you downloaded the x86 version?
[19:02] <dr_Willis> bye all
[19:02] <npobajl> alex_sleiborg: have you looked in System > Preferences > Network Configuration ?
[19:02] <diffred> what the ... youtube main page is not loading, but the rest of internet works well :S
[19:02] <Elfranne_> ∕msg nickserv help
[19:03] <Scunizi> Houston: the x86 version should work on all platforms except powerpc I believe.. even if you have a 64 bit capable machine.. try booting from the cd and see if you get the desktop.. that will really be the determining factor.
[19:03] <ruben231> hi anyone tried setting up dns server with bind...
[19:04] <jrib> ruben231: best to just ask the channel your question.  If someone knows the answer, they will try to help you
[19:05] <nite_johnboy> Does a PCI Express ATI HD 3450 work in Intrepid Ibex ? ?
[19:05] <diffred> please any other web browser to check if youtube is not loading for firefox fault
[19:05] <ruben231> i installed a bind dns server on my ubuntu...for name resolution==> on setting of zone do i have to make external zone even i use forwarders for my dns resolution..
[19:05] <alex_sleiborg> npobajl: Sure i'm in there right now. But i'm actually trying to get the wireless to work right now, it's more importent
[19:06] <b^j> ruben231, are you just using the system as a caching dns server?
[19:06] <Elfanne> anyone can help me saying what is wrong with mi dhcpd.conf : http://pastebin.com/m6203a2ab
[19:06] <Level_5> anyone here using a broadcom wireless card?
[19:06] <jrib> diffred: links2, epiphany?
[19:07] <hatter243> Elfanne, bad netmask, says so right there :P
[19:08] <ruben231>  b^j yes for my local and i would like to set forwarders
[19:08] <Elfanne> hatter243, yeah I saw but in the conf file the netmask is correct ... I hope so ... is it not correct ?
[19:08] <betterhands> anyone here have recommendations for an itunes-like app other than Rhythmbox?
[19:08] <filleokus_> Hi. I have kind'a messed up my ubuntu install. How do I reset autostarting apps / gdm-settings from rescue terminal?
[19:08] <jrib> !player | betterhands
[19:08] <hatter243> Elfanne, do you really want a class A netmask? That allows like 65000 hosts or something
[19:09] <alien> installed proftpd GUI, but when I try to run it it gives me Failed to execute child process "su-to-root" (No such file or directory), what to do?
[19:09] <ruben231> my problem is..do ihave to set my external ip for information and zone of my dns..?
[19:09] <ruben231> or i just use my internal...
[19:09] <jrib> alien: install the "menu" package
[19:09] <ruben231> how about the forwarders..
[19:09] <alien> jrib apt-get install menu?
[19:09] <bongoman> question: Persistent USB Ubuntu 8.10 -> I don't want to use it as root, is this possible ? (want to be save)
[19:09] <betterhands> i'm sorry guys--i need it to work well with my 30 gb (5th gen i think?)
[19:09] <jrib> alien: sure
[19:09] <incorrect> hi, does anyone know if there is a package for the sun mozilla 64bit plugin?
[19:09] <jrib> !ipod | betterhands
[19:10] <unop> ruben231, it should be enough to define the zones for your domain(s) .. and use the forwarders to resolve all other domains
[19:10] <jrib> incorrect: java plugin from sun?  Is there such a thing yet?
[19:10] <ruben231> b^j:....?
[19:10] <incorrect> jrib, i thought there was a big deal about it
[19:10] <hatter243> Elfanne, I'm pretty sure it's because your subnet is "<IP_ADDRESS>" if you were to change that to subnet <IP_ADDRESS> I believe it will work out. Alternatively you could set your subnet to <IP_ADDRESS> and your option broadcast-address to <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:10] <b^j> ruben231, you shouldn't need to have a zone if you aren't serving names for your domain
[19:10] <Elfanne> hatter243, I used it just to make a difference between my to differents networks here ... is it  bad ?
[19:10] <jrib> incorrect: link?
[19:10] <betterhands> thanks
[19:11] <IndyGunFreak> alex_sleiborg: did you get it working?
[19:11] <ruben231>  unop: yes...but do i need an external zone....? for my wan.....coz i have forwarders...
[19:12] <ruben231> b^j: or i just set an internal zone...thats all...?
[19:12] <filleokus_> disable autologin from terminal?
[19:12] <filleokus_> anyone?
[19:12] <b^j> ruben231, if i am understanding your question properly yes
[19:13] <unop> ruben231,  well, no -- the external zone is only used for hosts on the internet wanting to resolve hosts in your domain .. for you on an internal network, an internal zone should suffice -- you might need both depending on your needs
[19:14] <latexer> is upgrading from Feisty directly to Intrepid suggested/supported? If not, what steps should I follow?
[19:14] <jrib> latexer: no, you must upgrade to gusty, then hardy, then intrepid
[19:14] <jrib> !upgrade | latexer
[19:14] <judgen> Any recommendations for photo realistic icon themes for gnome?
[19:15] <NicDumZ> latexer, upgrading is not such a harass anyway... should be done within an hour I guess

[19:15] <latexer> jrib: thanks for the link.
[19:16] <Level_5> anyone here had success with broadcom wireless card?
[19:16] <jrib> Level_5: sure, it's better to just ask your question
[19:17] <ruben231>  unop:can my external zone be a conflict with my forwarders....? if ill set it up also..

[19:33] <aar> Hi, I'm trying to append a line to all files in a directory (including its sub-directories). I'm using " echo >> foo * ", but that doesn't move into the sub-directories. Where am I going wrong?
[19:33] <grrreat> s0101: you can, or just capture everything on your active network interface (ex: eth0)
[19:33] <s0101> aha
[19:34] <filleokus_> gafir777: dont know, but if you find out your mysql-password, you can haxx the phpmyadmin password aswell
[19:34] <grrreat> s0101: yeah go to capture and make sure it's doing the live update thing
[19:34] <gafir777> ok thanks filleokus, i'll give it a shot! :)

[19:40] <kriss3d> hi
[19:40] <Lalaith> hello
[19:40] <Archi88> hi
[19:41] <slb_> Archi88, i like quodlibet, others are rythmbox and amarok
[19:41] <quibbler> churl: what errors?
[19:41] <churl> quibbler: one sec
[19:41] <brainac0cult> im gonna kill myself bye!
[19:41] <kriss3d> ehmm ok
[19:41] <ArcSighter> hi
[19:41] <kriss3d> you like windows that much ?
[19:41] <grrreat> brainac0cult: have fun.
[19:41] <brainac0cult> not really
[19:41] <MatBoy> it seems that alsa does not give sound on a soundcard anymore when I take my PC out of suspend mode... can I re start something ?
[19:41] <ArcSighter> how can I map a external network port into a internal network host with iptables
[19:41] <brainac0cult> but its better than this hell
[19:42] <Talker> My wireless network card was not set as ath0 when i booted up now. I can find it in lspci. What to do?
[19:42] <carpii_> see, at least ubuntu gives you the choice of suiciding. Windows would just make it mandatory
[19:42] <grrreat> :D
[19:42] <brainac0cult> im being sierious
[19:42] <grrreat> so are we
[19:42] <brainac0cult> im only telling you guys cos you cant do anything about it
[19:43] <nyaa> !suicide
[19:43] <grrreat> !moo
[19:43] <latexer> Ok, so the upgrade to Gutsy from Feisty isn't working.
[19:43] <brainac0cult> !myself
[19:43] <grrreat> uhhh.. F befor G
[19:43] <grrreat> +e
[19:43] <slb_> latexer, just do a clean install
[19:43] <latexer> If I follow the suggestion, and just *add* lines refering to the new location of the feisty stuff, then it bombs trying to update off the old URLs.
[19:43] <ArcSighter> people, how to map a port using iptables???
[19:44] <brainac0cult> !hentai!!!!! :)
[19:44] <churl> quibbler: when i click "check" in "update manager"  under "show for individual files" I'm getting a lot of "failed" responces
[19:44] <latexer> slb_: having to back up /home and re-install was something I was hoping to avoid.
[19:44] <ArcSighter> churl: that's normal
[19:44] <churl> quibbler: intrepid security
[19:44] <Talker> How do i "mount" a wlan card?
[19:44] <churl> ArcSighter: good to know!
[19:44] <jhass840> Anyone know how to format a microSD card?
[19:44] <latexer> slb_: feisty -> gutsy -> hardy -> intrepid sounds "reasonable"
[19:44] <s0101_> are u sure Amsn isusing msnms?
[19:44] <slb_> latexer, is home on its own partition?
[19:44] <latexer> but it's not working.
[19:45] <slb_> latexer, that's the hard way
[19:45] <latexer> slb_: no, it's not.
[19:45] <slb_> ok, latexer go for it
[19:45] <latexer> (i've inherited the maintenance of this machine, if I'd done it from the start, it would have had a separate /home.
[19:45] <freako> LIST
[19:46] <slb_> latexer, your choice
[19:46] <paul_> hello i am having problems with my news  server it keeps saying dns lookup failed for hostname: news.giganews.com, i have done a dig to www.google.com i it states that it is using the correct dns server, does anyone know what im doin wrong, i`m using hellanzb
[19:46] <carpii_> you can still move home to another partition
[19:46] <latexer> slb_: and I'm asking for any help in doing the feisty -> gutsy, if anyone has any insight.
[19:46] <ArcSighter> hey people i want to map a port from a external server into a internal lan host, how to do that with iptables/nat???
[19:46] <ozzloy> is there a function i can call to keep the gnome screensaver from activating?
[19:46] <regeya> was just thinkning that carpii_ many partition types can be resized, if that's also an issue, so you could make room for your new partition
[19:47] <IndyGunFreak> latexer: feisty is past its end of life, there's places where you can download CDs with the old sources, so you can upgrade
[19:47] <grrreat> s0101_: no, but it's quite likely. Of course there won't be any MSNMS traffic until someone gets on there and starts chatting.
[19:47] <ozzloy> or to tell it that there is still some activity going on, so don't sleep the screen?
[19:47] <kriss3d> carpii_ you know.. brain guy there just made it to bash.org
[19:47] <Photoguy> Can somebody please look at my problem here?   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1058051
[19:47] <carpii_> hah, great :)
[19:47] <latexer> IndyGunFreak: That might be an approach that would work, i'll dig on that.
[19:47] <regeya> I have a real frankenstein of a machine here that I should be shot for setting up the way I did...I've got lvm2 volumes spanning pata and usb drives :-}
[19:47] <dennda> Which nvidia driver version did resolve the slow 2d rendering bug that e.g. made firefox scrolling slow?
[19:47] <ndf> anyone know of a decent gnome panel applet that can record a screencasts?
[19:47] <slb_> latexer, you can ask whatever you want, keep in mind though that there are easier ways to do things, and no one here is obliged to help you do things the hard way that would waste more of their time
[19:47] <whatev> someone sent me a file called foo.xml.pgp and their public key called foo.asc. i imported their foo.asc into my gpg keyring but when i try to decrypt the file with gpg --decrypt foo.xml.pgp i get an error 'gpg: encrypted with 2048-bit ELG-E key ... decryption failed: secret key not available'. what can i do?
[19:48] <latexer> slb_: I completely understand. That's why i'm not demanding answers, just explaining *my* situation and hoping someone can help.
[19:48] <NicDumZ> latexer, did you ADD the lines to sources.list, or did you changed "gutsy" to "feisty"?
[19:48] <carpii_> Arcsighter, you need to add rules into iptables PREROUTING chain
[19:48] <latexer> NicDumZ: I tried both approaches.
[19:48] <carpii_> just google for iptables port forwarding, im sure theres tutes
[19:48] <latexer> NicDumZ: if I *changed* them, then it failed in a different way.
[19:49] <Photoguy> Can somebody please look at my problem here?   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1058051   Thanks!
[19:49] <NicDumZ> latexer, what happens precisely?
[19:49] <latexer> NicDumZ: let me try again to get the exact error for you.
[19:49] <ArcSighter> Carpii thanks
[19:49] <quibbler> churl: I take it the update manager is not getting answers from some of the repros..maybe try changing the server in software sourses
[19:50] <kriss3d> noo just formated my ubuntu install via wubi.. and now my pr0n is gone
[19:51] <kolvl> what's your favourite song?
[19:52] <Eutychus> i can find the md5 hash posted for 8.02.1 LTS but not for the 804.2. where can i find a list of the hash for the 8.04.2 LTS support?
[19:52] <incorrect> is there a meta package to get more than just build-essential?
[19:53] <therealnanotube> incorrect: depends on what you want to get...
[19:53] <judgen> is it possible to do this with the gnome-panel: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=2&id=31128&file1=31128-1.jpg&file2=31128-2.jpg&file3=31128-3.jpg&name=Gentle+Gnome+mockup

[19:53] <necko> any one there
[19:53] <kriss3d> yea

[19:54] <regeya> it's rude to tap on the aquarium.
[19:54] <necko> i'm necko
[19:54] <regeya> hello kitty
[19:54] <latexer> NicDumZ: ok, so *changing* the entries to point to old-releases.ubuntu.com, it successfully checks for new updates, shows the "Upgrade to 7.10' item, and start upgrading.  I'm really not familiar with  the graphical blahblah
[19:56] <incorrect> therealnanotube, i meant for development
[19:56] <latexer> NicDumZ: via "apt-get dist-upgrade" ?
[19:56] <NicDumZ> latexer, yes, after updating ?
[19:56] <latexer> NicDumZ: can give that a shot (been ages since I did that, on debian)
[19:56] <NicDumZ> =)
[19:56] <latexer> NicDumZ: common gotchyas?
[19:56] <therealnanotube> incorrect: ah well, only one i know of is build-essential. other than that, i just pull what i need as the need arises... :)
[19:57] <subsume> I have eth0:1 showing up in ifconfig but there is no reference to it in my /etc/network/interfaces. What's happenin?
[19:57] <NicDumZ> latexer, didnt get the last line :)
[19:57] <latexer> NicDumZ: common things to watch out for?
[19:57] <meoblast001> hi.... how do i make PCSX work at a slower frame rate?
[19:57] <nhuisman_work> Does anyone know how to send dynamic dns updates so a windows dns server will get the hostname updates for dhcp clients using the new ubuntu network manager?  The old way was to use the dhclient.conf and put a few lines of config in there.  But since that no longer gets read I don't know where to put the info.
[19:57] <NicDumZ> latexer, no, it'll probably give a more precise error message
[19:57] <nhuisman_work> Aside from manually running nsupdate
[19:58] <NicDumZ> latexer, maybe the repo you have on your sources.list are a bit "crowded" now, dunno. let's see
[19:58] <IndyGunFreak> kriss3d: why do you need to patch madwifi?..
[19:58] <nhuisman_work> i can uninstall the network manager
[19:58] <nhuisman_work> but I would prefer not to
[19:59] <nhuisman_work> ideas?
[19:59] <blip-> eeebuntu is here
[19:59] <jafn> hi all
[20:00] <IndyGunFreak> blip-: i don't think it ever left
[20:00] <jafn> can somebody nslookup iaaez.dnsalias.com for me please?
[20:00] <jointer> hi, i need help with CRDA in Jaunty - kernel 2.6.28 - i need to change regdom and after some googling i have been unable to do so
[20:00] <jafn> and then telnet iaaez.dnsalias.com 22
[20:00] <BassKozz> if I am logged onto a remote server via SSH how can I pull down a file on that server to my local computer?
[20:00] <jamil> elo
[20:00] <triptik> hi all!
[20:01] <NicDumZ> BassKozz, log off, and use scp instead of ssh
[20:01] <NicDumZ> BassKozz, man scp for more details
[20:01] <triptik> any of you do you know how can I read blu ray discs in ubuntu 8.10?
[20:01] <BassKozz> ok, so there is no way to get the file while logged on via SSH
[20:01] <Topsun> no
[20:01] <BassKozz> NicDumZ: Thanx BTW
[20:01] <latexer> NicDumZ: i think i'll try seeing if the "use the alternate CD" approach works before commiting to a hands on dist-upgrade.
[20:01] <BassKozz> triptik: not possible
[20:01] <latexer> NicDumZ: will try that next though, thanks for the help.
[20:02] <Eutychus> quibbler: thanx. :)
[20:02] <IndyGunFreak> kriss3d: is there a particular reason you're patching madwifi?
[20:02] <BassKozz> triptik: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD
[20:02] <triptik> ok... thanks!
[20:02] <NicDumZ> latexer, use the alternate CD? the liveCD ? the gutsy CD ?
[20:02] <jamil> greeter application appears crashing ?
[20:02] <axelpaxel> I have a problem with Opera, it freezes all the time, especially when opening things in seperate tabs. Any advice?

[20:02] <lifenova> Hello, can anyone tell me a way to find how a USB port is numbered by the system? Today when I booted I noticed something that said "unable to enumerate USB device on port 1" and am curious of what it is
[20:02] <jafn> so can somebody help me?
[20:02] <latexer> NicDumZ: going off the document there.
[20:02] <tripzero> anyone know how to force-install a certain version of a package from the CLI ?
[20:02] <dixonionthedemon> hello all
[20:03] <BassKozz> NicDumZ: ok thx again :-)
[20:03] <latexer> NicDumZ: to perhaps bypass the "errors during updates off the internet" issue I seem to be having.
[20:03] <tv7497> bazhang: sir little help
[20:03] <dixonionthedemon> issues with second life, anyone know?
[20:03] <dixonionthedemon> cant get on it
[20:03] <NicDumZ> latexer, so wait, you're going to burn a CD for each upgrade ?
[20:03] <Eutychus> have a good day all. :)
[20:04] <whatev> do people have to use gpg in order for me to decrypt their stuff with gpg? or can they use other pgp software?
[20:04] <latexer> NicDumZ: for this upgrade, til at least all the further upgrades all exist on us.archive.ubuntu.com
[20:04] <latexer> NicDumZ: since the fact that the old sytem is on a different mirror than the new one seems to be the source of the network upgrade problem?
[20:04] <latexer> maybe i'm making too much of that difference though.
[20:04] <DJ_HaMsTa> what is dev sr0 ?
[20:05] <DJ_HaMsTa> biffer i/0 error on device sr0, logical block on installation of ubuntu
[20:05] <jamil> greeter application appears crashing ? help please
[20:05] <jamil> "enable accessible login" is unchecked
[20:05] <dixonionthedemon> anyone know how to get a working copy of Second Life fer ubuntu 8.10?
[20:05] <NicDumZ> latexer, http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ contains all the distros back to dapper
[20:05] <jointer> anybody have some knowledge how CRDA in 2.6.28 work? It is a component which restricts available wireless channels.
[20:05] <dixonionthedemon> the one i have isnt working
[20:06] <jamil> greeter application appears crashing ? help please
[20:06] <jamil> "enable accessible login" is unchecked
[20:06] <latexer> NicDumZ: ok, then I'm confused why extra lines need to be added/changes to get to the old feisty updates.
[20:07] <Caesi> Hullo everyone.. Short question: what's the tool called when you drag the cursor e.g. in the upper left corner and get all your workspaces?
[20:07] <NicDumZ> latexer, well you just tell apt to look for gutsy instead of feisty...
[20:07] <latexer> NicDumZ: yeah, I'm quickly realizing I should just try it. (:
[20:07] <kriss3d> caci are you using VM ?
[20:07] <latexer> NicDumZ: here goes nothing.
[20:07] <tv7497> guys i need to change the icon of my terminal the new theme with paper looks awesome except the terminal icon i have an i con could you guys help me how to replace the icon i have with that of the existing one http://<IP_ADDRESS>  this would give you a better idea the screenshot.png
[20:08] <jointer> nobody have wireless card and kernel 2.6.28?
[20:09] <therealnanotube> tv7497: cool looking theme, where did you get it?
[20:09] <tv7497> therealnanotube: made it sir
[20:09] <therealnanotube> tv7497: to change that icon, go to system->preferences->main menu, and you can find that shortcut and change the icon
[20:09] <tripzero> jointer: i doubt that many ubuntu users compile their own kernel
[20:09] <therealnanotube> tv7497: awesome :) have you posted it anywhere (like on gnome-look)?
[20:09] <Quack[stinkpad]> help, my ipod is read only in ubuntu :(
[20:09] <Irishman2020> I had a serious crash while trying to upgrade from 8.0.4 to 8.10....
[20:10] <Jack_Sparrow> !ipod
[20:10] <ronzo> hello, putting ubuntu on my eee...i have slimmed it down, but i still only have around a gig of memory left (of the 4 gigs) how else can i slim it down?
[20:10] <tripzero> Quack[stinkpad]: what format is it? HTFS? Fat32 ?
[20:10] <jointer> tripzero: yes, but i just upgraded to 9.04 :)
[20:10] <tv7497> therealnanotube: no sir should i ? its simple sir ubuntu dust theme with paper icon with murrine gtk engine
[20:10] <Quack[stinkpad]> FAT32
[20:10] <Quack[stinkpad]> it worked fine a while ago
[20:10] <Quack[stinkpad]> but suddenly it stopped working
[20:11] <tripzero> jointer: oh, that explains why you're on a newer kernel then eh :)
[20:11] <Quack[stinkpad]> even though i can still transfer files in windows
[20:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Irishman2020 That is more often from user  modified sources being in your sources list during the upgrade
[20:11] <therealnanotube> tv7497: if it looks cool... might as well post it somewhere for other people's enjoyment. :) up to you if you want to or not, of course.
[20:11] <Irishman2020> Jack_Sparrow: I turned off all my sources but the main 2 when I upgraded
[20:11] <tripzero> Quak[stinkpad]: what are you using to transfer files?
[20:11] <Quack[stinkpad]> i'm just opening it in nautilus
[20:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Irishman2020 But you had obviously installed things from them that were not comapt. with the upgraded versions
[20:12] <Quack[stinkpad]> it is a rockboxed ipod, but it doesn't work even when i load it with apple's os
[20:12] <jointer> tripzero: but the problem was also with .27 - my wireless card have only 11 channels, but in .24 (8.04) it was fine, all 13 channels
[20:12] <Irishman2020> I finnaly got my system to boot to the session login, but when I login, nothing loads but the background.
[20:12] <tripzero> jointer: what wireless card?
[20:12] <tv7497> therealnanotube: will certainly sir but how do i do it i have no idea and in main menu how do i change the icon of the terminal sir ?
[20:12] <tsakr> anyone have a recommendation for a bot that posts irc logs automatically to a website?
[20:13] <Jack_Sparrow> tsakr Why do we need yet another one
[20:13] <wots> hi
[20:13] <therealnanotube> tv7497: select the terminal item, and click the "properties" button. there, you can click on the icon, and it will let you select another.
[20:13] <kriss3d> hi
[20:13] <tsakr> Jack_Sparrow, I need one for my channel
[20:13] <tsakr> :)
[20:13] <Irishman2020> Ok, so I had packages that where not compatible with 8.10, what can I do now? I'm stuck with having to run things by doing altF2 to get things to run
[20:13] <wots> does anybody know howto send a email with a shellscript?
[20:13] <tv7497> therealnanotube: got it sir thanks sir
[20:13] <sholsinger> WHOA! I just noticed how when you open Pidgen, Gnome's logout button shows options for status. That ROCKS!
[20:13] <Jack_Sparrow> !logs
[20:13] <hatter243> wots, mail -s "subject here"<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[20:13] <failers> Irishman2020: are you sure your panel isnt just removed?
[20:13] <BlueEagl1> ronzo: The biggest memory hog is the windowmanager so if you want a real small footprint openbox or icewm are recomended though none are officially supported afaik.
[20:13] <wots> thx @ hatter243
[20:14] <therealnanotube> tv7497: no problem... and what's with all the "sir"s? :) i'm just a regular dude like you, hanging out on the channel :)
[20:14] <GeffIsLegend> hi everyone
[20:14] <tsakr> Jack_Sparrow: I want to know how to do this
[20:14] <jointer> tripzero: iwl3945, it should take its "regdomain" from EEPROM or via CRDA module (database of channels allowed in countries) but for some reason i am having still US channels, even if i try to force it via cfg80211 parameter
[20:14] <GeffIsLegend> anyone able to help me with some issues and questions i have?
[20:14] <Irishman2020> I cant right click to get any menus.  I got xfce to allow me to do "altf2", gnome will not allow me to perform that command
[20:14] <tsakr> Jack_Sparrow: an eggie tcl script, or something
[20:14] <therealnanotube> sholsinger: i just noticed that some timeago myself. that was neat. :)
[20:14] <tv7497> therealnanotube: cool then ! well most of here are wizards so little respect :D
[20:14] <NicDumZ> GeffIsLegend, just ask ^
[20:14] <ronzo> BlueEagle, aight, ty
[20:14] <Jack_Sparrow> tsakr It isnt a ubuntu support issue.. there are other sources of info
[20:14] <tsakr> like where?
[20:15] <Jack_Sparrow> tsakr #Ubuntu-offtopic
[20:15] <failers> Irishman2020: well you could try something like apt-get reinstall gnome
[20:15] <failers> or something like that
[20:15] <Jack_Sparrow> !!bots
[20:15] <failers> :P
[20:15] <GeffIsLegend> well i tried the dual boot of Ubuntu, and i want to full install, But when i have ubuntu up and i start up the "install" exe on the desktop i get to step 4 of 7 and i dont know what to do from that
[20:15] <sholsinger> therealnanotube: Yeah, lots of interface upgrades went into 8.10. :) Unfortunately lots of drivers were broken with the 2.6.27 kernel...
[20:15] <DJ_HaMsTa> how many GB should i add as swap for a new ubuntu installation ?
[20:15] <Jack_Sparrow> GeffIsLegend that is the partitioning section
[20:16] <therealnanotube> hrm yea, like the eyetoy (ps2 webcam) driver, it seems.
[20:16] <therealnanotube> !swap
[20:16] <Jack_Sparrow> DJ_HaMsTa no more than 4
[20:16] <tripzero> jointer: i don't know... :/  I had issues with wireless on my laptop in 8.10+ so I downgraded to 8.04 when everything was working...
[20:16] <GeffIsLegend> oh okay, What would i have to do to fully install Ubuntu from that?
[20:16] <TheEdge_> can i install windows xp on my computer but still want to have ubuntu on..  or should i install windows first and then ubuntu
[20:16] <failers> Jack_Sparrow: but i have 10gb is that bad :o?
[20:16] <tripzero> that doesn't really solve the problem though...
[20:16] <therealnanotube> DJ_HaMsTa: read that swapfaq :)
[20:16] <DJ_HaMsTa> ty
[20:16] <DJ_HaMsTa> il just add 4 lol
[20:16] <Jack_Sparrow> GeffIsLegend what options do you see, there should be one to use the entire disk
[20:16] <sholsinger> therealnanotube: Yeah, my old Logitech Quickcam used to work in 8.04 its no longer recognized.
[20:17] <nickrud_> TheEdge_, windows first, then ubuntu definitely
[20:17] <DJ_HaMsTa> i know what swap is, just wanted to know what the standard was
[20:17] <therealnanotube> failers: not /bad/, but you are wasting hd space.
[20:17] <Irishman2020> failers: problem is I cant get networking to work again
[20:17] <nickrud_> TheEdge_, give windows the first partition on the first drive for your own sanity
[20:17] <therealnanotube> DJ_HaMsTa: the faq also would have recommendations on size
[20:17] <GeffIsLegend> no, it apears and the selection box is completely blank
[20:17] <Jack_Sparrow> DJ_HaMsTa double ram up to 4 gigs..
[20:17] <failers> therealnanotube:  well got 600gb so 5 gb here and there ^^
[20:17] <sholsinger> therealnanotube: Think I need any SWAP partition if i've got 8GB of RAM?
[20:17] <vigo> Can I install Ubuntu 8.10 and Ubuntu 8.04 on the same drive?
[20:17] <tsakr> Jack_Sparrow: i need to download one simialr man
[20:17] <tripzero> sholsinger: mine also.  It appears that web cams are an issue in 8.10
[20:17] <Jack_Sparrow> GeffIsLegend so there are no available selections that are not greyed out?
[20:18] <failers> Irishman2020: just reinstall whole ubuntu then :/ ?
[20:18] <nickrud_> vigo, yes. You can choose which to boot from grub
[20:18] <TheEdge_> okay.. :(   running ubuntu now.. just hope that i could install xp
[20:18] <Jampiter> Hi
[20:18] <failers> Irishman2020: or add the cdrom as repository and then do apt-get reinstall gnome
[20:18] <nickrud_> !grub | TheEdge_ you can
[20:18] <GeffIsLegend> no, i didnt see any, im on my windows ATM, Should i get on Ubuntu to help this a little more?
[20:18] <aar> Hi, I'm trying to append a line to all files in a directory and its subdirectories (i.e. recursively). The " echo this is a test >> * " command doesn't work. Where am I going wrong?
[20:18] <therealnanotube> DJ_HaMsTa: generally... what Jack_Sparrow says is sensible... but depends on your usage pattern. if you have 4g of ram, and never use it up, you could just throw in a 1g swap for 'just in case' and be ok. to be able to hibernate, need at least as much swap as ram, though.
[20:19] <therealnanotube> sholsinger: probably not... but it never hurts to put in a little one, for "just in case".
[20:19] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud_ Got a sec for a PM
[20:19] <Jampiter> I have just hooked my 1280x800 laptop up to a 1680x1050 monitor. The screen is a box in the top left hand corner. The screen resolution dialouge does not list the right size. How can I remedy this?
[20:19] <jointer> tripzero: well, this driver should be prepared for use of CRDA (the database), see http://www.linux-archive.org/archlinux-development/221574-libnl-1-1-1-iw-0-9-7-1-crda-0-9-5-1-a.html - i cannot find this configuration file in Ubuntu
[20:19] <Jack_Sparrow> DJ_HaMsTa how big is  your drive
[20:19] <therealnanotube> sholsinger: 8gb is nice. :)
[20:19] <Irishman2020> what is the name of the network config gui app?
[20:19] <DJ_HaMsTa> 320 GB
[20:19] <DJ_HaMsTa> 3GB ram
[20:19] <DJ_HaMsTa> its a laptop
[20:19] <Jack_Sparrow> DJ_HaMsTa so 4 or even 8 gigs wont be missed
[20:19] <GeffIsLegend> no, i didnt see any, im on my windows ATM, Should i get on Ubuntu to help this a little more?
[20:19] <vigo> nickrud: Ok, thank you,,next Q? 8.10 is installed, and windows XP,,(soon to be gone, will the 8.04 ovewrite/format that Windows part?
[20:20] <therealnanotube> failers: hehe, well, if you have hd space to spare... it doesn't much matter. :)
[20:20] <tv7497> therealnanotube: thanks dude its working for the menu bar but what about awm ???  its the same take a look http://<IP_ADDRESS>
[20:20] <tv7497> therealnanotube: screenshot1.png
[20:20] <nickrud_> Jack_Sparrow, sure
[20:20] <Jack_Sparrow> therealnanotube Some of us have way more than we would ever need
[20:21] <shambada> p
[20:21] <DJ_HaMsTa> i manualy created 3 partitions one 20GB primary ext3 for /  one /boot of 200mb of ext3 and 4GB of swap, is this correct ?
[20:21] <TheEdge_> thanks  for the help
[20:21] <aar> Hi, I'm trying to append a line to all files in a directory and its subdirectories (i.e. recursively). The " echo this is a test >> * " command doesn't work. Where am I going wrong?
[20:21] <Jack_Sparrow> DJ_HaMsTa one sec
[20:22] <GeffIsLegend> is there a way to install ubuntu without the cd, and by install i mean a full installation so i wont have windows anymore
[20:22] <Jack_Sparrow> DJ_HaMsTa not my choice.. no
[20:22] <DJ_HaMsTa> what would you choose ?
[20:22] <therealnanotube> tv7497: sorry, never used that dock thing, so don't know
[20:22] <Jampiter> Anyone?
[20:22] <Jack_Sparrow> DJ_HaMsTa one sec
[20:22] <IndyGunFreak> GeffIsLegend: having windows doesn't matter, youc an still intall from a CD.
[20:22] <tv7497> therealnanotube: okie no probs thanks for the help
[20:22] <therealnanotube> Jack_Sparrow: hehe lucky you. :)
[20:22] <vigo> GeffisLegend, I think the WUBI can do that,,let me check
[20:22] <DJ_HaMsTa> i am going to dual boot with xp, xp has 160GB and will dual boot
[20:23] <Ikan> Hi guys, whenever I type I guess I hit my touchpad and the text I'm writing is going all awry. Is there anyway to disable the touchpad when I'm in the middle of typing something?
[20:23] <GeffIsLegend> oh okay, because i dont have any blank cd's to use, and all my blank cd's  are only 700mbs so i dont think thats enough room, right?
[20:23] <gafir777> everytime i try to go to phpmyadmin: http://<IP_ADDRESS>/phpmyadmin I get a popup saying : You have chosen to open  ---- which is a PHTML file What should Firefox do with this file? I've tried to reinstall phpmyadmin several times, but it doesn't change anything, thanks
[20:23] <emcpn> gggj
[20:23] <IndyGunFreak> vigo: i doubt wubi can delete Windows, since it runs inside of windows.
[20:24] <emcpn> hello
[20:24] <aar> Ikan, http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/09/20/disable-touchpad-temporarily-when-typing/
[20:24] <sholsinger> GeffIsLegend: You should be fine with 700mb CDrs, thats what I use. Just make sure you download the CD iso and not a DVD iso.
[20:24] <asteroid> hello
[20:24] <Irishman2020> Simple question again: what can i put in the "run" box to get a gui network manager?
[20:24] <IndyGunFreak> GeffIsLegend: 700 should be enough.. but if you have no blank CDs, can your PC boot a thumb drive, and do you have a 1gig thumb drive available?
[20:24] <failers> GeffIsLegend: you could use a usb stick if your bios support it and if you got one :P
[20:24] <asteroid> what about networkmanager and gprs/gsm connection, via usb or bluetooth ? is there a doc somewhere ?
[20:25] <asteroid> Irishman2020, gnome-network ?
[20:25] <Jack_Sparrow> DJ_HaMsTa would create 20 ntfs an extended of 300,  Logical 60 for /, logical 60 for /home,  logical 60 for/data  plus a swap
[20:25] <wick2o> hello, anyone know of a howto for setting up a ubuntu print server for printers connected directly to the network via ip address? All the docs I'm finding only talk about being a print server for printers directly attached to the machine
[20:26] <FloodBot1> NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.
[20:26] <aar> Irishman2020, in KDE knetworkmanager
[20:26] <aar> Hi, I'm trying to append a line to all files in a directory and its subdirectories (i.e. recursively). The " echo this is a test >> * " command doesn't work. Where am I going wrong?
[20:26] <Irishman2020> what about xfce aar?
[20:27] <asteroid> wick2o, it's a simple feature of cups, no particular thing to do. Connect to http://localhost:631, and tick the box "share printer"
[20:27] <Jack_Sparrow> !register
[20:27] <aar> Irishman2020, I wouldn't know. I don't use xfce, sorry.
[20:27] <Irishman2020> np... stupid crashing updater
[20:27] <wick2o> asteroid: that makes no sense
[20:27] <asteroid> aar, Irishman2020 there is no network manager in xfce
[20:28] <bdelin88> can someone help me with this error output? I am trying to install "bandwidthd" and it says something about missing LSB style header or something? http://paste.ubuntu.com/112949/
[20:28] <wick2o> i assume by localhost you mean the remove ip address of the printer
[20:28] <aar> Irishman2020, this might help: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Debian/2008-01/msg01354.html
[20:28] <Irishman2020> what can I do then to try to repair my network connection? I cant get anything but <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:28] <prince_jammys> aar: a) globs don't expand recursively, b) you'd still need a loop even if they did, or 'tee'
[20:28] <GeffIsLegend> would you guys suggest 8.10 or 8.04 for running World of Warcraft, Which one would it probably run smoother on?
[20:28] <meyou> Irishman2020: you're probably looking at the wrong connection
[20:28] <asteroid> wick2o, cups is the _printer SERVER_ (cupsd). It is administrable via http://localhost:631, a webface.
[20:28] <wick2o> hurm, think i found wdhat i was looking for on the CUPS website
[20:28] <meyou> lo is the loopback connection
[20:28] <bdelin88> can someone help me with this error output? I am trying to install "bandwidthd" and it says something about missing LSB style header or something? http://paste.ubuntu.com/112949/
[20:29] <jointer> how can i set enviroment variable in ubuntu?
[20:29] <meyou> Irishman2020: ifconfig /all do you see any interfaces besdies lo?
[20:29] <red_> k to life?
[20:29] <nickrud_> GeffIsLegend, I've run it under both, saw no diff
[20:29] <Irishman2020> meyou: I am not on the ubuntu machine.
[20:29] <wick2o> "This help document describes how to discover, configure, and use TCP/IP network printers with CUPS."
[20:29] <aar> prince_jammys, so what would be the solution?
[20:29] <asteroid> well. see you, bye
[20:29] <prince_jammys> aar: find, probably
[20:29] <vigo> GeffisLegend: My bad, WUBI is dependent on the win win boot.ini, I am tossing winders out also...so am looking at forums and stuff and asking here where people are nice and helpful.
[20:29] <wick2o> i was just googling the wrong terms (cups wasnt one of them) thats asteroid
[20:29] <GNUtoo> hello, how do I get the UUID of a raid array?
[20:29] <aar> prince_jammys, could you suggest the syntax?
[20:30] <prince_jammys> aar: find /top/level/dir -type f -exec bash -c 'echo "hey" >> "$1"' _ {} \;

[20:30] <GeffIsLegend> oh okay, now about my music, documents and such, that i want to not lose, how would i transfer those from windows to ubuntu? or when i do the cd install, will it already give me the option?
[20:30] <aar> prince_jammys, i'll give that a go, thanks
[20:30] <prince_jammys> aar: careful, do it in a test dir
[20:30] <aar> prince_jammys, yea
[20:30] <vigo> GeffisLegend: Back them up to CD-r or whatever,
[20:30] <ChronosZA> GeffIsLegend: intrepid gave me the option to copy it all over for me. and did a good job of it too. except for my email.
[20:30] <_VIM_> !yay | vigo (tossing windows out forever? in that case...)
[20:31] <IndyGunFreak> GeffIsLegend: well, i would definitely make sure you have a backup.. but how I did it, i partitioned my drive into two different drives.. moved all data to the blank partition, then installed Ubuntu to the partition that had windows (assuming you don't intend to dual boot)
[20:31] <sampbar> hi all
[20:31] <GNUtoo> I realy need to know it as mdadm.conf isn't parsed correctly and the /dev/md1 device is not created
[20:31] <tv7497> thanks for the help guys
[20:31] <sholsinger> GeffIsLegend: It would depend on whether your video card driver works properly and supports acceleration. (for WoW)
[20:31] <vigo> Yippeeee! ubutto smiled at me
[20:31] <bdelin88> can someone help me with this error output? I am trying to install "bandwidthd" and it says something about missing LSB style header or something? http://paste.ubuntu.com/112949/
[20:31] <GeffIsLegend> oh snap, i would have to learn how to do that, with the partitions because i just recently started trying to use Ubuntu
[20:32] <vigo> Ok...installing 8.04 over that windows part, PARTI!
[20:32] <vigo> Thank you all for the help.
[20:32] <mhall119> anybody know how to swap out USplash themes on a LiveCD image?
[20:32] <ChronosZA> GeffIsLegend: i would dual-boot until you are comfortable with ubuntu, unless u have another windows pc to do anything urgent on. you dont want to find yourself getting stressed out with something that needs to be done urgently and u cant, it will only turn you against it.
[20:33] <bdelin88> I am trying to install "bandwidthd" and it says something about missing LSB style header or something? http://paste.ubuntu.com/112949/
[20:33] <Jack_Sparrow> GeffIsLegend Sorry, I was busy, did you need me to go over something
[20:33] <GeffIsLegend> oh okay, good point, i understand
[20:33] <aar> prince_jammys, works perfectly. thanks
[20:33] <GeffIsLegend> oh no thanks Jack_Sparrow, I think im going to stick with dual booting for now, then when i learn about ubuntu more ill do a full install
[20:34] <prince_jammys> aar: cool
[20:34] <IndyGunFreak> GeffIsLegend: thats really the best thing to do.. if there's any doubt at all.
[20:34] <Jack_Sparrow> GeffIsLegend I still dual boot.. always have..
[20:34] <GeffIsLegend> oh okay, but how about the space issue for me while running ubuntu
[20:34] <GeffIsLegend> it says i only have 1.4g of free space, is there a way i can make it larger?
[20:35] <Guest7470> anyone know how to make World Of Warcraft work on ubuntu 8.10
[20:35] <|HSO|SadiQ> can anyone tell me why when I play Urban Terror it logs everything that happens in the game in my .xsession-errors file???
[20:35] <fosco_> GeffIsLegend: sudo aptitude clean
[20:35] <tripzero> Guest7470: there are lots of howto's on the internets.   I've tried to install/uninstall many times but it does not change anything. thanks

[20:43] <aar> Ikan, cd into your /etc/X11/ directory and try to find a backup copy of xorg.conf. If it's there, rename it to xorg.conf

[20:43] <gafir777> mhall119: still the same for my problem, after installing php5

[20:44] <mhall119> ygor: oh
[20:44] <rakudave> Ikan: There is an app called "touchfreeze" which does the job.
[20:44] <mhall119> never mind then
[20:44] <Yellow_dog> I have update to many different version of kernel on my box
[20:44] <shambada> ciao
[20:44] <scott_ino> I was wondering if anybody could help me resolve slow USB transfer times
[20:44] <gafir777> ok i'll look for that mhall119
[20:44] <sosnix>  Hi
[20:44] <sosnix> i have problem with
[20:44] <sosnix> sqlite
[20:44] <Yellow_dog> how can I erase all old one
[20:44] <mhall119> ygor: what filesystem does it use?
[20:44] <sosnix> how i can import file to slite ?
[20:45] <sosnix> sqlite*
[20:45] <gafir777> mhall119: it was install, i'm attempting to "reinstall"
[20:45] <mhall119> ygor: also, remount it as read only right away
[20:45] <ygor> mhall119: haha...so theres no way? i mean, accidentaly i del my folder on my usb disk...its a fat32..
[20:45] <quibbler> !enter | sosnix
[20:45] <Ikan> Thanks, Rakudave, but I'm still trapped on that blackscreen and can't do anything
[20:45] <aar> Ikan, cd into your /etc/X11/ directory and try to find a backup copy of xorg.conf. If it's there, rename it to xorg.conf
[20:45] <gafir777> mhall119: no change :(
[20:45] <mhall119> ygor: you'll need to find some kind of fat32 "undelete" program, I don't know of any for Linux
[20:45] <rakudave> Ikan: As for the black screen, try undoing the changes you allied in reverse order and, as arr said, try using the xorg.conf backup
[20:45] <mhall119> gafir777: can you dpkg-reconfigure apache2?
[20:45] <rakudave> *applied
[20:46] <ygor> mhall119: ok...

[20:46] <latdissem> can someone tell me how to know how much RAM I hacve?
[20:46] <aar> Ikan, if there is no backup, you can reconfigure the settings with this command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[20:46] <Yellow_dog> ?
[20:46] <Ikan> ./etc/X11/xorg.conf_synbackup : no such file or directory

[20:47] <mhall119> gafir777: php5.conf
[20:48] <tripzero> jointer: solved? what did you do?
[20:48] <rakudave> Yellow_dog: please use the pastebin at paste.ubuntu.com
[20:48] <gafir777> mhall119: ok, php5.conf is not in there
[20:48] <gafir777> so somehow it's not used by apache2
[20:48] <gafir777> i'll try to reinstall apache2 again
[20:48] <mhall119> gafir777: ls /etc/apache2/mods-available/
[20:48] <gafir777> mhall119: I get a list, but php5.conf is not among them
[20:48] <aar> Ikan, go with the default settings (the option reccommended by the configuration software).
[20:48] <mhall119> hmmm
[20:48] <mhall119> you sure you have php5 installed?
[20:49] <gafir777> mhall119: I can try to reinstall apache2 again from the synaptic package manager
[20:49] <gafir777> since php5 was not installed when i installed apache
[20:49] <gafir777> i can try
[20:49] <mhall119> I always install php5 after apache
[20:49] <aar> Ikan, effectively, this means typing enter in most prompts throughout the configuratyon process
[20:49] <mhall119> so that shouldn't be the problem
[20:49] <quibbler> !enter
[20:49] <rakudave> Ikan: or boot into recovery mode and select "fix xserver"
[20:49] <gafir777> mhall119: ok
[20:50] <gafir777> mhall119: so how do you add php5.conf to the list?
[20:50] <stickboy> !ppa
[20:50] <Yellow_dog> floodBot1: thx...
[20:51] <mhall119> gafir777: it should be in the mods-available at least, from when it was installed

[20:51] <Unislash> quick question...
[20:51] <gafir777> mhall119: oh ok, I see it in mod-available
[20:51] <gafir777> php5.conf and php5.load
[20:51] <gafir777> but not in mods-enabled
[20:52] <Yellow_dog> floodBot1: I take a look in my /boot directory an find many different version of the kernel
[20:52] <mhall119> gafir777: sym-link them to mods-enabled and reboot apache
[20:52] <rakudave> Unislash: yeeeeees?
[20:52] <Unislash> i've noticed that when i click and drag my mouse, it takes a split second for it to register the click, thus my selection is skewered
[20:52] <Unislash> :)
[20:52] <gafir777> mhall119: I'll google "sym-link"
[20:52] <gafir777> hehe
[20:52] <mIRC632a> Hi
[20:52] <mhall119> ln -s
[20:52] <mhall119> gafir777: man ln
[20:53] <PiRaSa> selam
[20:53] <Yellow_dog> the laste update don't allow my modem to work so I need do erase it and keep the old one. How can I erase it?
[20:53] <gafir777> ok, looking in the man
[20:53] <rakudave> Unislash: any other graphics-related problems? (lags etc...)
[20:53] <mhall119> gafir777: sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf
[20:53] <Unislash> nope, nothing
[20:53] <mhall119> then again for php5.loadf
[20:54] <Unislash> no lag... nothing
[20:54] <Unislash> single clicking is fine
[20:54] <gafir777> mahll119: thanks, sounds easier when you write it !
[20:54] <Unislash> it's only click and drag (like selecting text or icons with mouse)
[20:54] <nmlinuz> hello...i installed VirtualBox and seems that i have problem with perimissions on USB devices...anyone help me please? :(
[20:54] <Unislash> i think it has to do with some threshold on when a click-down is interpreted as a click-n-drag
[20:55] <Ikan> The sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg worked and I'm back in logged in regularly, so what I do from here? Use touchfreeze or attempt to the the xorg.conf again?
[20:55] <Unislash> or something like that
[20:55] <gafir777> mhall119: ok they seem to be enabled now, i restart apache
[20:55] <rakudave> Unislash: strange... does this happen every time? you cold try to addjust the "mouse" settings, but other than that... i don't know
[20:55] <Jack_Sparrow> nmlinuz usb requires the one off the web not the one from our repos.
[20:55] <minche> i cant connect my phone
[20:55] <Unislash> yea, it's every time
[20:55] <minche> i mean i cant browse through its contents
[20:55] <gafir777> mhall119: It works! That was a long support you provided me, Thanks for your help
[20:55] <minche> nor it's memory card contents :(
[20:55] <mhall119> no problem gafir777
[20:55] <mhall119> glad I could help
[20:55] <nmlinuz> Jack_Sparrow: what do you mean?
[20:56] <minche> it doesnt even recognize it :/

[20:56] <minche> :(
[20:56] <leeping2008> Hi there, how do I check what machines are connected to my DHCP server?
[20:56] <Unislash> like... i can put my cursor right next to an icon on my desktop, then click-n-drag (quickly) in a motion that would normally select said icon, but the delay is too much and the resultant selection is enough to just miss the icon
[20:56] <rakudave> Unislash: you could also reinstall nautilus... no special tweakes applied there though, i suppose
[20:57] <Unislash> i don't think it's a bug; the delay time seems to be constant
[20:57] <KX> Is there a way I can configure a window to not have a decoration (title bar, borders etc.) with metacity or absolutely position it on the screen
[20:57] <rakudave> Unislash: i out of ideas ;-)
[20:57] <aar> Ikan, if editing your xorg.conf messed up your display settings, I'd suggest you try out the touchfreeze application
[20:57] <Unislash> hmmm...
[20:58] <KX> well, relatively position it form where it would normally be maximized
[20:58] <Sa[i]nT> How do I open up port 80 with iptables?
[20:58] <salmon> hey quick question about playing DVD's what codecs do i need to both make the play and use the DVD menu's
[20:58] <Ikan> Alright, Thank you aar and rakudave. I apologize about being so erratic.
[20:58] <thismamacooks200> IRC problem, I keep getting the same error box every few seconds. It creates thousands of message boxes if I don't close them. "Unknown message<EMAIL_ADDRESS>The IRC server received a message it did not understand "
[20:58] <rakudave> Ikan: no problem
[20:58] <aar> Ikan, NP
[20:59] <stickboy> I'm on 8.10 64bit. I just installed Gnome Do, added the sources and the key. But whenever I try to update it, it gets held back. Any ideas why?
[20:59] <Jose> hello!
[21:00] <aar> Sa[i]nT, iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 80 -j ACCEPT
[21:00] <rakudave> stickyboy: probably some library-collisions... look at the package details with synaptics
[21:00] <quibbler> salmon: what are you using now is view dvd's?
[21:00] <aar> Sa[i]nT, and: iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --destination-port 80 -j ACCEPT
[21:01] <sexcopter> hi, can anyone help me with vnc? I have a laptop with 8.10, and a pc with win xp, both on local network. i want to control the win xp pc with my laptop, and installed realvnc server on the windows pc. if i run vinaigre on this laptop, vnc is greyed out, only rdp is available. what do i need to do?
[21:01] <aar> Sa[i]nT, you'iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 6881:6999 -j ACCEPT
[21:01] <SlimeyPete> sexcopter: why not just use RDP?
[21:01] <bert_> Hi, I'm at the computerclub right now and I can't get X to start (the liveCD errors) on a VIA card that should work with the OpenChrome driver, ubuntu 7.10 starts fine but 8.04 and 8.10 don't, does anyone here have an idea why this happens ?
[21:02] <aar> Sa[i]nT, sorry, I was going to say: you'll need privileges, so add sudo in front of that
[21:02] <sexcopter> SlimeyPete: I tried that, but it gave some error with "atom" in it... had no idea what that meant
[21:02] <Skeptiker> How do I check which type of driver my webcam is using?
[21:02] <IndyGunFreak> bert_: if its just a live CD, use a alt. install CD and go from there.
[21:02] <IndyGunFreak> !webcam | Skeptiker
[21:02] <sexcopter> SlimeyPete: although it might be i just need to reboot the xp box.. let me try that
[21:02] <pogay> i have problem installing gocr, which seems to demand  libltdl3 (Ubuntustudio 8.10 has libltdl7 ). According to "google" gocr should install fine. Where can be the problem?
[21:03] <SlimeyPete> sexcopter: I suspect that using a client such as krdc or the Gnome equivalent (can't remember what it's called, but I think it's installed by default) for RDP will be your best bet
[21:03] <judgen> where is the settings file for avant saved?
[21:03] <|HSO|SadiQ> can anyone tell me why when I play Urban Terror it logs everything that happens in the game in my .xsession-errors file???
[21:03] <sexcopter> SlimeyPete: gnome-rdp, perhaps?
[21:04] <kansan> i added a printer to my ubuntu hardy desktop.... its a samsung ml-2510... problem is after awhile the printer seems to be disconnected... i.e i send it printer jobs and it doesnt do anything.  restarting my computer works, but only for a little bit... and then again i cant send it print jobs anymore.  i tried a different printer driver from linux printing database too ideas?
[21:05] <xxCody> Hello everyone, im experiencing a problem after installing ubuntu on another machine. Its not picking up any wireless connections. Can someone help please.
[21:05] <filthpig> Hi. There is a little bug that has been bugging me (harrharr) for some time with ubuntu. If you right-click an image in Firefox, and select "Set as desktop background" it just doesn't work. All you get is a small window with a PC-monitor on it (which probably should show the selected img as background, but trying to apply or cancel doesn't do anything.. is this bug fixed with ibex? I'm on hardy..
[21:05] <D3JAVU> a
[21:05] <D3JAVU> HI all
[21:05] <pogay> which is the correct option in apt-get to avoid demanding libs (because I set a symlink to a newer version).
 it works in intrepid for me
[21:06] <Caesi> Hullo everyone.. Short question: what's the tool called when you drag the cursor e.g. in the upper left corner and get all your workspaces?
[21:06] <nickrud_> pogay, you mean install a package without all it's dependencies?
[21:06] <D3JAVU> i delete my xorg cont :( and wont restor original xorg conf how can i make that ???
[21:06] <xxCody> Hello everyone, im experiencing a problem after installing ubuntu on another machine. Its not picking up any wireless connections. Can someone help please.
[21:06] <pogay> nickrud_: yes analogous to dpgk -f -g  package.deb
[21:07] <nickrud_> D3JAVU, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg will recreate a default xorg.conf
[21:07] <rakudave> !wireless | xxCody
[21:07] <Templis__> slb_ gone?
[21:07] <xxCody> Thank you i will look into it.
[21:07] <nickrud_> pogay, apt-get doesn't have such a switch; you'd have to create an equiv package for that lib:
[21:07] <pogay> nickrud_:  as I installed iscan
[21:07] <nickrud_> !info equivs | pogay
[21:08] <pogay> thanks nickrud_
[21:08] <marek_> hi, i have ripped my old family vhs but sound is about 2 second behind video, which app can fix it?
[21:08] <synack> i just had a very strange problem with the ubuntu 64 installer locking up while trying to do manual partitions
[21:09] <synack> is this a known problem? i went thru the installer 6 times before finally partitioning w/ partition magic
[21:09] <D3JAVU> i do dhat but its bring me onley 1920 1200 resolution :) how can i ride in xorg.conf the 1280 800 :) or somethink like that
[21:09] <IndyGunFreak> synack: i always manually partition, never a prob.
[21:10] <synack> well i actually just bought a new laptop and used the 32bit version w/ manual partitioning just fine
[21:10] <quibbler> filthpig: thanks ...now i got the bug...i'm also in hardy but i never tried to do that ..just tried and indeed it doesn't work
[21:10] <synack> then i went to 64bit and started having that issue
[21:11] <xxCody> Okay i may have found the problem. With ubuntu not picking up any wireless connections it seems that the hardware drivers it does not list my driver for wireless. it just says wl ad i dont know what that driver is anyways.
[21:11] <Templis__> I had some problems with atheros wireless (I loosed it by turning off and on the wireless network on the tray). I turned off the laptop and removed the batery, rapidly power button with no power, then put back the batery and when logged in toUbuntu, everything was fine..
[21:11] <Templis__> Just don't know, how to enable wpa
[21:12] <Templis__> Oh, found..
[21:12] <lahcim> hmm
[21:12] <Templis__> It just disapeared for a moment..
[21:13] <Jack_Sparrow> !info wpasupplicant
[21:13] <Templis__> I have a stupid wireless card, with which I have to be jentle and should not use functions like turn of and so on in Ubuntu
[21:14] <amerinese> are the package repositories working right now?  seem to have trouble connecting
[21:14] <lahcim> hello
[21:14] <quibbler> filthpig: i have no idea why not...found this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/206191
[21:14] <oobe> could someone do a ctcp version on me and tell me what it says
[21:14] <Templis__> My wireless card went wrong, maybe power or smtg
[21:14] <synack> interesting...my install just errored out with SQUASHFS errors
[21:14] <Templis__> Now itš ok!
[21:15] <Templis__> it's
[21:15] <Templis__> thank's to slb_ if you see him!

[21:16] <GeffIsLegend> oh okay ill try it really fast , 1minute
[21:17] <luciddr34m3r> For some reason, pressing ctrl + alt + backspace no longer restarts x on my 8.10 box. It may not be related, but I just recently updated from hardy to intrepid (not a clean install), any ideas why the key combo is not restarting x anymore?
[21:18] <Templis__> GeffIsLegend: Mount win partitions! so you will be able to access them! But DO NOT hibernate WIN or you could not access the win partitions and any other data storage device that was connected at that moment!
[21:19] <wolter> hi, i need help on solving this loki installer error "This installation doesn't support glibc-2.0 on Linux / unknown"
[21:19] <wolter> linux32 execution doesn't work

[21:20] <Slart> !ntfs | GeffIsLegend
[21:20] <Karti> Hi all, anyone pass on the command to find out your motherboard details...many thanks
[21:21] <Templis__> I believe 8.10 has support for ntfs as default
[21:21] <rakudave> you need a tool called ntfs-config to enable ntsf-support
[21:21] <tomodachi> Karti: dmesg and lspci
[21:21] <tomodachi> vill tell you things about your hardware
[21:21] <dmi3on> hi all

[21:23] <Element9> how can I make ubuntu show info pages?
[21:23] <synack> floryn90: download kaffeine

[21:24] <quibbler> Ainulph: if you have the medibuntu repros in your source file you can install google earth from synaptic
[21:24] <synack> you shouldnt need any additional tools
[21:24] <GeffIsLegend> oh okay
[21:24] <Slart> Ainulph: isn't google earth available from the repos?
[21:24] <GeffIsLegend> so just use fuse?

[21:25] <synack> post up your /etc/fstab
[21:25] <Ainulph> SOrry, I don't know what a repos is, I'm a windows noob :(
[21:25] <wots> yes russian roulette!

[21:27] <Mortymer> hey
[21:27] <synack> postbin
[21:27] <tomodachi> Karti: np
[21:27] <pogay> nickrud_: i downloaded gocr----.dev, and installed normally, strange.
[21:27] <Slart> Ainulph: you're welcome
[21:27] <Pyuu> That's fine. As long as it will allow me to do some general gaming; I'm fine with that!
[21:27] <Guest8361> what's up:D
[21:27] <Mortymer> i'm looking for my printer's driver
[21:27] <Guest8361> hehe
[21:27] <Pyuu> Many thanks to those who responded.
[21:27] <Blackburn> pyuu: Freecell etc yes,
[21:27] <Guest8361> i am preparing to resize partition
[21:27] <therealnanotube> Pyuu: for 'general gaming', check out the "games" section of the repositories.
[21:27] <Guest8361> need to install ubuntu
[21:27] <Guest8361> fedora is bad
[21:28] <anno> hi! not sure if a recent apt-get ugprade is to blame but GNU screen acts kind of weird ... although "deflogin" is set to "on" in /etc/screenrc, it doesn't start the shell(s) in login-mode :( "screen -l" doesn't work either ... ~/.profile doesn't get sourced. :(
[21:28] <Blackburn> pyuu: But direct3d etc, not really.
[21:28] <nickrud_> pogay, most likely you have it's lib dependency installed, and you've overridden the lib by linking or putting it earlier in the lib search path. dpkg thinks all is normal
[21:28] <Slart> Mortymer: have you looked at linuxprinting.org?
[21:28] <IntrepidOne> Guest8361: it's different indeed I would not say bad
[21:28] <Mortymer> Slart: Not yet, thanks.
[21:28] <Guest8361> in 1 week i needed to reinstall fedora 6 times...
[21:28] <dmi3on> can some one help me with vncserver pleas, i cant find why do i get black screen when connect to vncserver with out using sudo
[21:28] <GeffIsLegend> synack?
[21:28] <IntrepidOne> Guest8361: OK LMAO IT'S BAD
[21:28] <rakudave> Mortymer: Ubuntu 8.04+ should recognize ~95% of all printers by default.
[21:28] <Guest8361> you see:D
[21:28] <Pyuu> Blackburn: How would I go about playing games such as GunZ:The Duel. I know of people who said that it's possible to run GunZ on Linux.
[21:29] <user_> dmi3on: can you pastebin your exact connection command?
[21:29] <therealnanotube> Guest8361: well... i suspect it was not fedoras fault, but rather a PEBKAC
[21:29] <Guest8361> i need to told you what happened
[21:29] <Guest8361> first i installed it
[21:29] <Guest8361> and than i was having problem with screen
[21:29] <Guest8361> i reinstalled than
[21:29] <Guest8361> than i was runing it about 2 hours
[21:29] <Guest8361> i rebooted
[21:29] <Blackburn> pyuu: very specific, did you try google first?
[21:29] <IntrepidOne> Guest8361:  one line

[21:30] <eross> what's the keyboard scanner tool i can use, to make sure my keyboard keys are working?
[21:31] <Pyuu> Blackburn: Ah, I feel like a hypocrite now. Any time someone asks me a question I respond with a witty "Google is your friend." yet I myself have failed to use it in the situation.
[21:31] <gidna> HI
[21:31] <Mortymer> http://paste.ubuntu.com/112969/
[21:31] <therealnanotube> Pyuu: heh
[21:31] <gidna> why can't I run google earth on ubuntu?
[21:31] <Mortymer> it didn't work
[21:31] <Guest8361> google earth is not supported for linux
[21:31] <GeffIsLegend> my windows partition seems to be mounted already, but i cant find my music folder , anyone want to help me with that ? :(
[21:31] <Mortymer> there are no drivers for linux
[21:31] <quibbler> therealnanotube: ah....i'm old so i don't know the jargon...but that's good...i have a a lot
[21:31] <Mortymer> can we make something with wine?
[21:31] <Guest8361> you can try to to install it with wine...
[21:32] <Blackburn> pyuu: didnt mean to be curt :) Just that it was very specific! Do try wine.
[21:32] <badfish69> how do i set snes9x-gtk to use also instead of OSS?
[21:32] <Mortymer> Guest8361: Ok, I'll try. Thanks.
[21:32] <Slart> gidna: I don't know.. you haven't really told us why.. I'm guessing.. "you don't have the computer turned on" ? was I right?
[21:32] <badfish69> slsa*
[21:32] <therealnanotube> quibbler: yea it's a fun one. :)
[21:32] <badfish69> alsa*
[21:32] <graingert> badfish69-> try padsp
[21:32] <quibbler> therealnanotube: :-)
[21:32] <Guest8361> will ubuntu install himself into unallocated space?
[21:33] <gidna> the main google's earth window appears and then disappears..
[21:33] <Slart> !googleearth
[21:33] <Mortymer> wine gives this error: "could not register Start key"
[21:33] <Pyuu> Blackburn: Will do, and no need to apologize. You called me out on my own hypocrisy without knowing anything personal about me. :p  Should've thought that one through before coming to IRC.  Thanks again for the push in the right direction. Many thanks.
[21:33] <Guest8361> i don't know:D
[21:33] <Slart> gidna: and you get some kind of error?
[21:33] <Guest8361> i am fedora user...
[21:33] <gidna> No
[21:34] <Mortymer> that printer has a vital importance for me, am i turning back to windows again? :(
[21:34] <Slart> gidna: try running google earth from a terminal.... see if you get any error messages that way
[21:34] <Guest8361> going to install ubuntu cya:D
[21:34] <Slart> Mortymer: what did linuxprinting.org say?
[21:35] <gidna> the first time starts and happens what I told u.. the second time bash: /home/gidna/Desktop/Google-googleearth.desktop: Permission denied
[21:35] <GeffIsLegend> hey guys how do i allow Ubuntu to use more of my disk space, im only limited to 1.5g for some reason!
[21:35] <n2diy> What's up with Opera? I see it was in the Repos, and now it isn't?
[21:35] <graingert> GeffIsLegend-> your system needs re-partitions
[21:35] <aaditya> GeffIsLegend: is it because of the way you divided your partitions?
[21:35] <GeffIsLegend> can you help me , and tell me how to do this please?
[21:35] <Slart> GeffIsLegend: I don't think there is an artificial limit.. unless you're using wubi or something
[21:35] <Mortymer> Slart: here you are: http://paste.ubuntu.com/112971/
[21:36] <pogay> nickrud_ yeah, I made a symlink. ocr seems at least executable now, have to check a better document for ocr-scan, as the first result is a empty file.
[21:36] <Slart> Mortymer: no need for pastebin when it's only one line.. but I'm looking
[21:36] <GeffIsLegend> i have 47.7g of free space, but for some reason its only showing up as 1.5
[21:36] <GeffIsLegend> and i only have 2 partitions , the windows, which unbuntu is running off now, and the recovery
[21:37] <Slart> GeffIsLegend: can you pastebin the output of "df -h" ?
[21:37] <Slart> !pastebin | GeffIsLegend
[21:37] <Slart> Mortymer: did you download the driver from the canon website?
[21:37] <gidna> slart what's the soluton?
[21:37] <GeffIsLegend> so type pastebin in the terminal?
[21:38] <Mortymer> Slart: canon's own website provides a linux driver for UFR_II, which is not my model.
[21:38] <Slart> gidna: did you get an error message?
[21:38] <gidna> bash: /home/gidna/Desktop/Google-googleearth.desktop: Permission denied
[21:39] <gidna> this is the erorr message
[21:39] <aaditya> GeffIsLegend: type this in terminal: $ sudo gparted
[21:39] <Slart> Mortymer: hmm.. then it seems it's back to windows if you want to use the printer.. send an angry mail to canon =/
[21:39] <lukinfore> hi
[21:39] <nilres> hi
[21:39] <Slart> gidna: that doesn't look very serious.. that's all you get when you run it from a terminal?
[21:39] <lukinfore> is there a command to determine my current network load - Up/Down?
[21:40] <Slart> lukinfore: nload will give you a nice little graph
[21:40] <nilres> iptraf
[21:40] <gidna> yes it is
[21:40] <nilres> iptraf has no graph but is a nice tool
[21:40] <GeffIsLegend> Slart, How would i show u this pastebin?
[21:40] <Slart> gidna: hmmm.. no idea then, sorry
[21:40] <Slart> GeffIsLegend: you paste the url here
[21:40] <lukinfore> uhm
[21:40] <gidna> at last How can I remove it?
[21:40] <GeffIsLegend> http://paste.ubuntu.com/112972/plain/
[21:40] <GeffIsLegend> there ya go slart
[21:40] <lukinfore> iptraf says i should be root
[21:40] <Slart> GeffIsLegend: thanks
[21:41] <Mortymer> Slart: God, sure I will >:[ Thanks for your contributions.
[21:41] <Slart> lukinfore: run it with sudo in front... "sudo iptraf"
[21:41] <sholsinger> GeffIsLegend: Windows stores "My Documents" in: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\ if you're on Windows XP.
[21:41] <spdaly> Hello all!
[21:41] <aaditya> GeffIsLegend: did you paste something there already?
[21:41] <GeffIsLegend> im currently on vista32 atm
[21:41] <Slart> Mortymer: you're welcome
[21:41] <aaditya> sorry guys, i'm lagging
[21:41] <spdaly> I'm having a problem with vsftpd.  I installed it and config'd it fairly open to test, but I keep getting connection refused errors
[21:41] <sholsinger> GeffIsLegend: Vista uses C:\users\<username>\ for the user directory.
[21:41] <Slart> GeffIsLegend: oh.. you're running wubi?
[21:41] <jimmyscythe> anyone know how I can get better sound quality out of my Soundblaster Live 7.1 card
[21:41] <lukinfore> that is not what i actually need
[21:41] <GeffIsLegend> idk, am i ? hah
[21:42] <sholsinger> GeffIsLegend: I hope that helps you find your music.
[21:42] <jimmyscythe> I'm using the CA0106 driver and it sounds horrible
[21:42] <lukinfore> i need a coomand for bash script
[21:42] <GeffIsLegend> yeah i managed to find my music
[21:42] <lukinfore> but thanks
[21:42] <sholsinger> GeffIsLegend: Ah :) I caught that one too late, I guess.
[21:42] <GeffIsLegend> i just need more space on ubuntu to use so i can copy it over :[
[21:42] <gidna> Slart How can I remove it?
[21:42] <Slart> gidna: google earth? how did you install it?
[21:43] <gidna> by a .bin file
[21:43] <rainmanp7> Is there a linux wallpaper upload website ?
[21:43] <Slart> GeffIsLegend: I've never used wubi so wouldn't really know where to start.. isn't there a manual or some documentation about it?
[21:43] <Slart> rainmanp7: gnome-look.org?
[21:43] <djones> !art | rainmanp7
[21:43] <GeffIsLegend> to be honest with you, i dont even know what wubi is :-/ laaame of me
[21:43] <Ax3> I'm in need of some assistance, somewhat a beginner, I've created a user, but for some reason it can see the contents of other user's directories in /home, how do I sort this out?
[21:43] <rainmanp7> Slart thanx :)
[21:43] <Ax3> (i did this via CLI)
[21:43] <Baatti> ok, I have Heron loaded onto an old desktop, but its been over a year since I've used it on that computer, and I don't remember my admin password, how do I resolve this issue?
[21:44] <Slart> GeffIsLegend: wubi is a "run ubuntu on your windows machine without messing it up"-application
[21:44] <sholsinger> Why does his hard drive mount at /cdrom/ ?
[21:44] <GeffIsLegend> oh hah
[21:44] <erUSUL> Ax3: tight the "other user's directory" permissions
[21:44] <Slart> rainmanp7: you're welcome
[21:44] <lukinfore> update
[21:44] <lukinfore> nobody knows?
[21:44] <GeffIsLegend> well i booted from a disk that i burned
[21:44] <Slart> lukinfore: what do you want to do? get your current up speed?
[21:44] <sholsinger> GeffIsLegend: I know, but it looks like your hard drive was mounted in the '/cdrom' directory
[21:45] <lukinfore> yea, and down
[21:45] <lukinfore> i can use this
[21:45] <lukinfore> http://pastebin.com/m1b11fd87
[21:45] <elliott> exit
[21:45] <elliott> or not
[21:45] <GeffIsLegend> SholSinger: is that bad? this confuses me very much lol
[21:45] <lukinfore> but i think some ugly way
[21:45] <Ax3> erUSUL, how?
[21:45] <erUSUL> !permissions | Ax3
[21:46] <erUSUL> Ax3: you can do it with nautilus. rigt click on the home folder choose properties go to the permission tab
[21:46] <sholsinger> GeffIsLegend: not... bad, just weird. I do show 48Gb of "free space"
[21:46] <pogay> I uses xsane - the pogramm sees two "scanners" the first is the internal cam.  Can suppress this selection somewhere, or at least change the order of the devices?
[21:46] <Baatti> how can I recover my admin password?
[21:46] <sholsinger> GeffIsLegend: The problem is, you have resize the partition Windows is on. Gparted *can* do that if I am not mistaken.
[21:46] <graingert> Baatti-> use single user mode
[21:46] <blouf> Baati : do u still have the live CD ?
[21:46] <GeffIsLegend> SholSinger: yeah thats why i dont understand why i cant use more disk space
[21:46] <graingert> Baatti-> and use passwd
[21:47] <GeffIsLegend> SholSinger, What is the command i should use in terminal to do so ?
[21:47] <Baatti> graingert: could you explain a bit more? What precisely is Single User Mode?
[21:47] <wkid> Proftp can be run either as a service from inetd, or as a standalone server. Can anybody explain me what "as a service from inetd" means. Thnx in advance, i'm new to ubuntu.
[21:47] <Baatti> blouf: I don't have the live CD any longer
[21:47] <sholsinger> GeffIsLegend: try: gksudo gparted
[21:48] <GeffIsLegend> SholSinger: this is what i got "error: libhal_acquire_global_interface_lock: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.InterfaceAlreadyLocked: The interface org.freedeskdesktop.Hal.Device.Storage is already exclusively locked either by someone else or it's already locked by yourselfubun"
[21:48] <mjb2287> what is my root password
[21:48] <sholsinger> GeffIsLegend: Do you have Gparted open already?
[21:48] <blouf> Baati : so use single mode user
[21:48] <lukinfore> Slart ?
[21:48] <Baatti> blouf: what is 'single mode user'?
[21:49] <Slart> lukinfore: have you looked at these tools? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/bandwidth-monitoring-tools-for-linux.html  there has to be one that does what you want
[21:49] <Ax3> erUSUL, FANTASTIC, that did the trick, I had to do it via command line though, since it's a server without a GUI
[21:49] <Slart> lukinfore: I was playing around with nload and iptraf to see if they had any useful options
[21:49] <lukinfore> no package for that in jaunty?
[21:49] <GeffIsLegend> not too sure i know what gparted is
[21:49] <Ax3> erUSUL, it turned out since the user was part of the users group and the group bits were flipped +r, it could see them! :D
[21:49] <quibbler> mjb2287: it is the password you gave when you installed ubuntu
[21:49] <Frozen_-> i think windows 7 rox
[21:49] <blouf> Baati : ask graingert
[21:50] <Baatti> ok
[21:50] <lukinfore> well they are just gui i think
[21:50] <lukinfore> *i believe
[21:50] <Baatti> for clarification, I can log onto my Admin User Account, but apparently I set a root password that was different than my log in password
[21:50] <sholsinger> GeffIsLegend: Like is there a "Partition Manager" open?
[21:51] <sholsinger> GeffIsLegend: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/screens/gparted_1_big.jpg
[21:51] <badfish69> how do i make snes9x-gtk use alsa instead of oss?
[21:51] <GeffIsLegend> yeah i have it up now
 no
[21:52] <quibbler> mjb2287: did you set an apart password for root??
[21:53] <GeffIsLegend> SholSinger: I have gparted up now, What do i do next?
[21:53] <sholsinger> GeffIsLegend: Okay, that is where you would resize your larger Windows partition to make room for the Ubuntu partition.
[21:53] <GeffIsLegend> oh okay, how would i do that then? unmount it first?
 i don't think i did
[21:54] <sholsinger> GeffIsLegend: :) I've got the manual! http://gparted.sourceforge.net/larry/resize/resizing.htm
[21:54] <Slart> lukinfore: also you might want to look at the output of "cat /proc/net/dev" I'm not sure what all the numbers mean but it looks promising
[21:54] <GeffIsLegend> oh ok
[21:54] <GeffIsLegend> appreciate it sholsinger
 is there a default maybe?
[21:55] <svensko> i am attempting to update a fresh ubuntu installation and i want to avoid the kernel update since it is known to break wired and wireless internet on the acer aspire one - does anyone know which package i need to uncheck to avoid getting the new kernel? thanks!
[21:55] <sholsinger> GeffIsLegend: Yeah, you should be in good hands with that reference. It looks well done. Let me know if you have trouble along the way.
[21:55] <quibbler> mjb2287: then you have to give a password for sudo what do you use?
[21:55] <omegalala> are there are roomship-production-hall for linux?
[21:55] <mike12> hey how do i get rid of the stuff that comes up when i use find in terminal
[21:55] <GeffIsLegend> oh okay will do ^^ , ill read up on it now
 like what distro?
[21:56] <mike12> is there a special command or somthing
[21:56] <quibbler> mjb2287: the default is your inlog passowrd
[21:56] <TelQuel> hello everyone, I am just trying to set up my microphone for the first time to record a few readings on my ubuntu install... how do I set up my microphone? It says "audio capture settings are invalid" when I try to enter the sound recording application
[21:56] <Slart> mike12: you want to delete the files you've found?
[21:56] <mike12> Yes
[21:56] <Slart> mike12: or you just want to clear the display?
[21:57] <svensko> i am attempting to update a fresh ubuntu installation and i want to avoid the kernel update since it is known to break wired and wireless internet on the acer aspire one - does anyone know which package i need to uncheck to avoid getting the new kernel? thanks!
[21:57] <sholsinger> GeffIsLegend: Make sure you read part 2 before you actually do anything.
[21:57] <Slart> mike12: read the man page for find.. there is an --exec switch.. use it with the command "rm"
[21:57] <mike12> i want to completely clear my computer out...its gettin slow
[21:57] <Blueghost> my wireless connection won't work does anyone know how to fix it
[21:58] <Slart> !doesntwork | Blueghost
[21:58] <omegalala> take a wire
 ok i think i figured it out thanks
[21:58] <w00zy> does 8.10 come with dhcpcd?
[21:58] <cow_2001> so i deleted stuff through transmission but the space won't free
[21:59] <rainmanp7> Can someone take a look at this wallpaper I just made it's my first one lol please http://www.gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-files/98717-Desk1.Final2.png
[21:59] <Blueghost> when I tried to set it up it won't connect I tried to use ndiswapper but I couldn't set it up correctly
[21:59] <Flare183> !spam | rainmanp7
[21:59] <lukinfore> Slart,  about what not sure ?
[21:59] <lukinfore> there is a table
[21:59] <erUSUL> !yay | Axz
[22:00] <dmi3on> user_, sorry are you here ?
[22:00] <GeffIsLegend> hey SholSinger
[22:00] <sholsinger> GeffIsLegend: Yep?
[22:00] <rainmanp7> I can make way better stuff but that was made with gimp
[22:00] <lukinfore> i mean maybe there a tool that do the same as any net monitor do without using bash to calculate it
[22:00] <Bllasae> FREENODE
[22:00] <GeffIsLegend> It doesnt give me the option in Gpart to resize/move, its greyed out
[22:00] <oCean_> w00zy: nope, dhclient
[22:00] <GeffIsLegend> do i need to unmount first? or something
[22:00] <sholsinger> GeffIsLegend: By the way, make sure you read section 2 of that reference.
[22:00] <GeffIsLegend> oh yeah , i read it ^^
[22:00] <sholsinger> GeffIsLegend: Yeah, that might help.
[22:01] <lukinfore> and to cut digits from useless output
[22:01] <mike12> ok im trying to completly wipe the history and everything the previous owner did on theis computer what do i do
[22:01] <sholsinger> GeffIsLegend: Let me know if unmounting it helps.
[22:01] <quibbler> rainmanp7: that is off topic please join #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:01] <lukinfore> anyway thanks
[22:01] <squidly> quick networking question. I'm trying to get eth0 and wlan0 to not start when the network is shutdown. I have in /etc/network/interfaces auto eth0\nallow-hotplug eth0
[22:01] <Slart> mike12: I would wipe it and reinstall everything.. but that's me..
[22:01] <w00zy> hey Im not an ubuntu user, but I installed it on a buddies pc the other day, Im on the phone right now w/ him trying to get him on the net. But apparently he doesnt have dhcpcd. Is there a tool that ubuntu uses to replace it?
[22:01] <mike12> ok thank you Slart
[22:01] <oCean_> w00zy: dhclient
[22:01] <squidly> will that stop eth0 from comeing up upon boot if my system is not plugged in to a lan?
[22:02] <GeffIsLegend> it wont let me unmount at all
[22:02] <Slart> w00zy: he doesn't need dhcpd to be able to get an ip from a dhcp server
[22:02] <erUSUL> w00zy: ubuntu comes eith a dhcp client installed by default
[22:02] <kfyit> w00zy-> he does not need the dhcpd (acting a server)
[22:02] <Slart> w00zy: dhcpd is the dhcp server daemon
[22:02] <BlackZ> notte
[22:02] <squidly> w00zy: you need dhclient
[22:02] <soundray> Slart: he/she said dhcpcd
[22:02] <w00zy> i didnt ask dhcpd i asked for dhcpcd
[22:03] <GeffIsLegend> SholSinger :  it wont let me unmount, it says /cdrom: device is busy.
[22:03] <soundray> w00zy: dhclient replaces it in ubuntu
[22:03] <w00zy> thnx
[22:03] <Ainulph> I want to play mp3's but I check for it on Add/Remove Application and the Ubuntu Restricted Extras is extremely unpopular. Is it because they our faulty or is it that they are just not popular? The popularity has to be much higher than a single star.
[22:03] <w00zy> can I say dhclient eth0?
[22:03] <sholsinger> GeffIsLegend: hang on...
[22:03] <Ainulph> are* opps ><
[22:03] <squidly> w00zy: most distros use dhclient now a days
[22:03] <Slart> soundray, w00zy: oooh.. dhcpcd..my bad
[22:03] <squidly> w00zy: yes
[22:03] <w00zy> soundray: thnx man
[22:04] <soundray> w00zy: ubuntu invokes it automatically in any typical setup
[22:04] <Basket1234> I have ubuntu 8.04 i386 installed and it freezes everytime at the step hardware abstraction layer hald?  Anyone have any ideas?
[22:04] <user_> dmi3on: i am here, you gave me the server command, whats your client command?
[22:04] <w00zy> squidly: most distros?
[22:04] <theunixgeek> What's either a good rich text editor or HTML viewer for X11?
[22:05] <w00zy> soundray: almost every distro runs dhcp init code in init anyhow, but sometimes you need to give it a manual touch
[22:05] <squidly> w00zy: yea like gentoo, ubuntu, most of them I know use dhclient for getting dhcp address
[22:05] <fosco_> theunixgeek: bluefish
[22:05] <shambada2> hello
[22:05] <shambada2> list
[22:06] <theunixgeek> fosco_: as a rich text editor?
[22:06] <erUSUL> theunixgeek: html viewer --> any web browser like firefox
[22:06] <soundray> w00zy: for a manual touch, try 'sudo ifup eth0' (substitute the actual interface name for eth0)
[22:06] <theunixgeek> erUSUL: I was hoping for something simpler
[22:06] <zamba> how do i check what glibc i'm running?
[22:06] <erUSUL> theunixgeek: rtf editor openoffice abiword etc.
[22:06] <dmi3on> user_, run thightvnc or ultravnc from vista
[22:06] <w00zy> thnx I appreciate your guys' help im not an ubuntuian
[22:07] <dmi3on> user_, and i both i get same screen
[22:07] <theunixgeek> erUSUL: I was hoping for something more TWM/Motif-like ;)
[22:07] <w00zy> is that even the correct word or is it ubuntite?
[22:07] <squidly> theunixgeek: I think emacs can do rtf editing
[22:07] <erUSUL> !info dillo
[22:07] <quibbler> Ainulph: a lot of people install Ubuntu Restricted Extras....just do and listen to mp3 and judge for yourself
[22:07] <user_> dmi3on: uh, dont know nothing about vista, sorry :-(
[22:08] <soundray> w00zy: ubuntooth :)
[22:08] <Basket1234> anyone know why the hardware abstarction layer hald step would freeze?  I have removed all my extra cards so it was close to minimum hw
[22:09] <dmi3on> user_, i think probelem is with server because if i run sudo vncserver everything works fine only i cant kill server with comman vncserver -kill :1
[22:09] <svensko> i am attempting to update a fresh ubuntu installation and i want to avoid the kernel update since it is known to break wired and wireless internet on the acer aspire one - does anyone know which package i need to uncheck to avoid getting the new kernel? thanks!
[22:10] <TelQuel> what is good sound recording software for ubuntu?
[22:10] <dmi3on> user_, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/vnc-server-and-red-hat-8-blank-screen-103360/ that is exactly like my problem i just have blank startup
[22:10] <user_> dmi3on: hmm, i think you can kill any program by using: kill -9 $pid
[22:10] <dmi3on> user_, in fron should be vcnserver ?
