[10:12] <muratti> an celeron note book, an i386 ubuntu live cd, booting, everything is ok. but later, the desktop and the pointer appears and nothing happens but the cd driver continues working almost for hours... what could be wrong with that?
[10:12] <muratti> help
[10:13] <noobuntu> bring3: thx
[10:13] <malkav> before i restart X, tell me: How do I stop X and stop it from restarting so it's not running?
[10:13] <bazhang> muratti, you want to install or just use the live cd
[10:13] <drash> nucco: okay .. no rush
[10:13] <muratti> install
[10:13] <PentarexBG> bring3:
[10:13] <muratti> bazhang: i want to install it
[10:13] <bazhang> muratti, and did you try to install
[10:13] <bring3> lukerohde, hmm i dunno much about VPN, you could make a SSH tunnel and mount it like any local SMB share
[10:13] <PentarexBG> bring3: it says hristo@hristo-desktop:/media$ sudo chown -r hristo:hristo sda5
[10:13] <muratti> bazhang: yes i did
[10:13] <PentarexBG> chown: invalid option -- r
[10:13] <PentarexBG> Използвайте „chown --help“ за повече информация.
[10:13] <nucco> drash: here's my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/16817/
[10:13] <muratti> it's still doing the same thing
[10:13] <PentarexBG> ok sry
[10:14] <bazhang> muratti, is that a yes?
[10:14] <amikrop> Which is the kernel version with which Hardy comes and uses by default (i.e. just after the CD installation)?
[10:14] <muratti> bazhang: yes, it's a yes
[10:14] <drash> nucco: i'll take a look and report back, give me a minute ..
[10:14] <bazhang> amikrop, -16
[10:14] <malkav> I'm looking for a one-time deal so i can run the nVidia driver install, the installer doesn't allow you to have x running at the time, how do i kill X such that X doesn't start again after killing it?
[10:14] <bring3> PentarexBG, oh maybe its -R
[10:14] <|p33|> lukerohde: what kind of vpn?
[10:14] <ripps> I'm getting GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap from Compiz. I'm using the fglrx from restricted modules in Hardy-proposed. I thought this error was from the XGL days, why am I getting it?
[10:14] <nucco> drash: everything else is working, correct res, movie playback. except no dri, and thus, no compiz
[10:14] <seanw> Hello all. How can I override Wubi to ignore the fact I have just under 256MB ram?
[10:14] <bazhang> muratti, you hit the install icon and nothing happens?
[10:14] <lukerohde> bring3 & p33: not a vpn issue.  I need to mount a samba share without root privileges
[10:14] <amikrop> bazhang: 2.6.24-16?
[10:14] <PentarexBG> bring3: nothing happens
[10:15] <muratti> bazhang: no, once again please listen
[10:15] <bring3> PentarexBG, yeah use "-R"
[10:15] <muratti> an celeron note book, an i386 ubuntu live cd, booting, everything is ok. but later, the desktop and the pointer appears and nothing happens but the cd driver continues working almost for hours... what could be wrong with that?
[10:15] <MZM> anyone running ti_usb_3410_5052 usb to serial cable on 8.04?
[10:15] <bring3> PentarexBG, ok now do: ls -l
[10:15] <drunkn718> m0u5e - fdisk gave me nothing I could identify the physical drive with
[10:15] <drash> nucco: you might have mentioned your card type, nut i missed that, which one is it exactly ?
[10:15] <lukerohde> bring3: p33: I use openvpn if you are interested
[10:15] <bazhang> amikrop, aye
[10:15] <PentarexBG> bring3: and
[10:15] <nucco> drash: intel GMA 965
[10:15] <amikrop> bazhang: OK, thanks.
[10:16] <bazhang> muratti, what stage of the install are you on, or only just the desktop
[10:16] <lukerohde> malkav:  I don't know if this works with ubuntu but have you looked at changing the runlevel at start up to 3
[10:16] <drash> nucco: k thanks, looking at your xorg.conf ..
[10:16] <bring3> PentarexBG, Places -> Connect to Server?
[10:16] <PentarexBG> bring3: in the console i am seeing only >
[10:16] <|p33|> lukerohde: what are you trying to do, use your smb server as a pdc`
[10:17] <bring3> PentarexBG, oh it is probably processing, is the drive large?
[10:17] <JackWinter> i just set up a virtual desktop with webcams of places around the world which i love.  at the moment i have them in several konqueror windows, but was wondering if there was a better application for the purpose, especially one where i could set the update frequence, since many cams stop streaming the jpeg after a while
[10:17] <PentarexBG> bring3: then
[10:17] <MZM> is /sys somehow protected from user modifications in 8.04?
[10:17] <lukerohde> pp3:  nah, i've just got a windows share on a windows box that I want to connect to
[10:17] <PentarexBG> bring3: 210 gb i think
[10:17] <lukerohde> I need to mount it in the filesystem
[10:17] <Checkdanews> Hey I am having a real big problem in ubuntu 8.04 desktop, can somebody offer me some help
[10:17] <bring3> err lukerohde, Places -> Connect to Server?
[10:18] <muratti> bazhang: i insert the cd, press the power button on the computer, then i press the buttons to make it start by cd
[10:18] <bring3> PentarexBG, oh yeah its just processing, probably should have included -v to show status
[10:18] <DiploCat> nucco, your xorg.conf looks fairly.... empty. perhaps backing it up then running "Xorg -configure" to write a new one
[10:18] <|p33|> lukerohde: use fstab if it is a permanent mount
[10:18] <bring3> lukerohde, why can't you get root access?
[10:18] <bazhang> muratti, you need to md5 sum the iso and integrity check the disk then
[10:18] <PentarexBG> bring3: what to write ls -| -v
[10:18] <muratti> bazhang: then choose install ubuntu, then it begins, everything is ok,
[10:18] <bring3> PentarexBG, wait until it finishes processing first
[10:18] <lukerohde> Connect ot server work - I get a link on my desktop but is there somewhere I can get to it in the filesystem.  how would I ls the directory from the terminal for instance
[10:18] <Checkdanews> Basically, I restarted my computer earlyer, and then my hard drive was giving me some error, then i restarted again a few times, and ubuntu wouldnt boot, so i booted in recovery mode, and now ubuntu is working, im using it now, but it boots in like text mode, and takes much longer then it used to, and goes very slow until about a few minutes after i put my name and password in
[10:18] <PentarexBG> but nothing happens
[10:19] <muratti> bazhang: i did the integrity check, it's done, there were no problems on cd
[10:19] <bazhang> !md5 | muratti
[10:19] <lukerohde> I need it for my girlfriend
[10:19] <|p33|> lukerohde: fstab
[10:19] <PentarexBG> bring3: hristo@hristo-desktop:/media$ ls -|
[10:19] <PentarexBG> >
[10:19] <seanw> Ah fixerised thanks.
[10:19] <PentarexBG> thats what i am seeing
[10:19] <muratti> !md5
[10:19] <bazhang> muratti, md5 the iso and if that matches then re-burn at a slower rate
[10:19] <nucco> DiploCat: I believe that's the point of erm, the new xserver in hardy right? autoconfiguration on the fly?. If you think its ok, I could run Xorg -configure anyway
[10:19] <bring3> ah lukerohde, give this a try: sudo apt-get install pyneighborhood
[10:19] <lukerohde> fstab doesn't work - vpn connect not present at boot
[10:20] <bring3> PentarexBG, stop typing commands, wait for it to finish :)
[10:20] <DiploCat> nucco, ahh... disregard, haven't played with erm
[10:20] <PentarexBG> bring3: i'll do :)
[10:20] <|p33|> lukerohde: then make it present or create a start script
[10:20] <muratti> i just burned it as an iso file in ubuntu (another computer), and the writing speed was slow enough (about max 10x)
[10:21] <muratti> bazhang: i just burned it as an iso file in ubuntu (another computer), and the writing speed was slow enough (about max 10x)
[10:21] <bring3> PentarexBG, that should let you mount the SMB shares directly into the filesystem, and it has a nice interface :)
[10:21] <drunkn718> if you run badblocks on an entire drive (i.e. /dev/sda) and the system freezes, that means the drive is broken right?
[10:21] <Vegombrei> how do i dcc file transfer thru irssi
[10:21] <bazhang> muratti, best to check the md5 sum (you need to read the actual link) and then that can be eliminated as an error source
[10:21] <bring3> drunkn718, well it could be the controller card....
[10:21] <drunkn718> hm
[10:22] <PentarexBG> bring3: what will make my filesystem more nice :D
[10:22] <bring3> drunkn718, are other drives working ok?
[10:22] <PentarexBG> bring3: ls -| ?
[10:22] <drunkn718> yeah, I have 4 500gb hard drives
[10:22] <bring3> oh sorry PentarexBG, meant to type lukerohde
[10:22] <drunkn718> and I ran badblocks on all of them all day today
[10:22] <drunkn718> sdb froze badblocks
[10:22] <drunkn718> the others ran all the way through, reporting 0 bad blocks
[10:22] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4781625&postcount=14 nantax also man update-grub
[10:22] <muratti> bazhang: well i would like to see that but i even just can't find how to open a private window with this chat program (xchat)
[10:22] <drash> nucco: i replied at your pastebin with things you might already know ... There's al link attached for more info on how to enable DRI, gdluck
[10:22] <nantax> how do i add the grub entry for the new kernel? i mistakenly kept the old grub menu now the new kernel is not present at the grub boot menu
[10:23] <bazhang> muratti, right click the link (open in browser)
[10:23] <nucco> drash: will check. thanks.
[10:23] <Vegombrei> how do i do a dcc file transfer thru irssi
[10:23] <bring3> lukerohde, this should let you mount the SMB shares directly into the filesystem, and it has a nice interface: sudo apt-get install pyneighborhood
[10:23] <PentarexBG> bring3: and nothing happens yet just ">"
[10:23] <muratti> bazhang: ok, doing it
[10:23] <PentarexBG> bring3:  BRB
[10:24] <Checkdanews> My Ubuntu 8.04 wouldn't boot after a restart, so i booted in recovery mode, and after that I booted in regular mode, and it fixed ubuntu, and it boots now, and the desktop itself runs fine, but when I boot ubuntu now, it doesn't show the regular ubuntu load screen, it shows all text, of everything it boots like Nvidia drivers then it says [OK], and the only other problem is that it goes very slow, then it loads the graphics, and brings me to my log-in scr
[10:24] <nucco> drash: doesn't seem to be anything new when I refresh http://paste.ubuntu.com/16817/
[10:24] <drash> nucco: sorry, it's at http://paste.ubuntu.com/16820/
[10:24] <bring3> drunkn718, yeah well its probably something about the drive then, idk if it can be fixed though
[10:24] <smaila> why cant i apt-get bitchx  in hardy ?
[10:24] <bazhang> Checkdanews, did you fiddle with the grub menu? ie removing quiet/splash
[10:24] <Checkdanews> and ubuntu has never gave me a problem tell now
[10:24] <drunkn718> yeah probably npt = \
[10:24] <drunkn718> not*
[10:25] <Checkdanews> No, i didn't mess with anything, I just restarted because I thought my computer needed a break
[10:25] <Dillizar> aloha
[10:25] <muratti> bazhang: what will it do to help?
[10:25] <bazhang> muratti, md5 the iso? it will make sure the iso is not corrupt
[10:25] <Checkdanews> and then i selected ubuntu to boot, and my computer froze up, and it wouldnt boot ubuntu anymore, so i tried booting in recovery mode, and that fixed it, but just does the boot problems I told you about
[10:25] <drunkn718> does anyone here have experience with lvm, I have a question about recovery
[10:26] <deadangel> hallo, anybody experience with toshiba notebooks?
[10:26] <bring3> smaila, censorship :D
[10:26] <Checkdanews> I honestly don't know what the grub menu is, lol Im somewhat a noob, went cold turkey from windows about 2 months ago, and havn't looked back, this is the first problem I have had
[10:26] <muratti> bazhang: may i make you sure that the iso is not corrupt, i checked it by myself and this is the 4th cd i wrote??
[10:26] <Checkdanews> I just want my normal booting ubuntu back
[10:26] <bazhang> smaila, check irssi if you want a cli irc client
[10:27] <Vegombrei> how do i do a dcc file transfer thru irssi
[10:27] <muratti> bazhang: i mean "i'm sure" this is not the reason of the problem
[10:27] <bazhang> muratti, you did check the iso via md5?
[10:27] <Kartagis> did i tell you that i love how ubuntu completes the word after sudo, even its switches
[10:27] <Checkdanews> Ubuntu is the holy grail of PC OS's
[10:28] <muratti> no, i need to restart
[10:28] <bring3> Checkdanews, there are GUI editors for Grub menu, kgrubeditor and qgrubeditor, i dont know if they will solve your problem though
[10:28] <Checkdanews> I found it one day, and it litterally was like everything I liked from windows, and everything I liked from OS-X, plus things I never imagined, i will never go back to windows
[10:28] <bazhang> Checkdanews, nice to hear but chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:28] <Checkdanews> hmmmm, ill google those apps, and see if I can find anything that has to do with my problem
[10:28] <nantax> how do i add the grub entry for the new kernel? i mistakenly kept the old grub menu now the new kernel is not present at the grub boot menu
[10:29] <Checkdanews> thank you bring3
[10:29] <drunkn718> anyone familiar with LVM?
[10:29] <PentarexBG> bring3: nothing happens
[10:29] <MZM> is /sys somehow protected from user modifications in 8.04?
[10:29] <bazhang> nantax, rename the old list then run update-grub it will generate a new one
[10:29] <nantax> bazhang, okay, will do
[10:29] <bring3> Checkdanews, you can install them easily if you want to poke around, use: sudo apt-get install qgrubeditor &&  sudo apt-get install kgrubeditor
[10:30] <erUSUL> MZM: yes i spect so for a kernel generated at runtime filesystem
[10:30] <bring3> PentarexBG, what do you mean, the screen still has not changed?
[10:30] <MadHag> I was trying to customize my start up yesterday and no body seemed to know here about a little program called 'startup-manager' check it out its in synaptic and well cool :)
[10:30] <PentarexBG> bring3: yeap
[10:30] <Checkdanews> alright cool, is there anything like the "system restore" feature in windows xp, for ubuntu, that I could just restore the default file system of ubuntu?
[10:30] <bring3> !backup
[10:31] <MZM> erUSUL: I need to echo 2> into one /sys%p file. I can do that on Gentoo box and device starts to work but not in Ubuntu (device doesn't work)
[10:31] <nucco> drash: I added the modules entry and the dri bit too... I just gotta wait till I can safely restart X. if it works, then I can only say its odd that it worked in the past without those entries.
[10:31] <bazhang> Checkdanews, just install with a seperate /home partition
[10:31] <nantax> bazhang, thanks :) will try to reboot now
[10:31] <erUSUL> MZM: different kernels different bugs/behavior ??
[10:32] <Checkdanews> hmm alright guys, well ima check all this stuff out, thank you very much, I need to get to bed soon, so I am gonna go, but thank you alot
[10:32] <drash> nucco: it should, the new Xorg in 8.04 has improved a lot in that sense, i just don't know intel cards well enough to judge
[10:32] <MZM> erUSUL: sucks. I was working in 7.10 just fine
[10:32] <Kartagis> darrend: are you here and do you remember my problem?
[10:32] <MZM> s/I/It/
[10:32] <erUSUL> MZM: make a bug report.
[10:33] <erUSUL> !bugs | MZM
[10:33] <MZM> erUSUL: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/236247
[10:33] <Checkdanews> You guyz make a already over achieving PC OS "ubuntu" so much better by just taking your time to help new users, you don't see this much with windows users, once again I thank you all alot. goodnight, and good day
[10:33] <MZM> still endusers need net to access their internet bank account NOW :(
[10:33] <MadHag> btw, thanks for Hardy Heron, nice release, installed fine and sees all my hardware, thanks
[10:34] <Kartagis> mine too mine too,
[10:34] <__max> hi, I tried to resize my ext3 partition with parted. I removes the journal feature but parted still says theres an incompatible feature enabled
[10:34] <erUSUL> MZM: well if yu add your voice to the chorus maybe it gets confirmed status
[10:35] <__max> Filesystem features:      has_journal resize_inode filetype needs_recovery sparse_super large_file
[10:35] <MZM> erUSUL: it's mine bug :P
[10:35] <drunkn718> anyone familiar with LVM?
[10:35] <erUSUL> MZM: ouch!
[10:35] <powertool08> does anyone know if 11.6 volts on a 12v rail is underpowered enough for a x1600 to show absolutely no video?
[10:35] <MadHag> __max,  use sysrescue and come at it from outside ubuntu
[10:36] <MZM> erUSUL: I should been listening to ppl who where saying that 8.04 is not yet usable. Damn'
[10:36] <MZM> powertool08: no.
[10:36] <bazhang> powertool08, #hardware might know
[10:36] <MadHag> __max, http://www.sysresccd.org is a great tool
[10:36] <powertool08> thanks
[10:37] <__max> ok
[10:37] <lukerohde> bring3: will do
[10:37] <__max> but I already tried knoppix and ubuntu livecd
[10:37] <__max> all say incompatible feature
[10:37] <__max> I'm guessing its "resize_inode"
[10:37] <macsim`work> hi, openoffice base 2.4 doens't support ldap anymore ? not yet implemented ? something special to install ? thanks
[10:37] <__max> but I'm not sure if I can safly remove this
[10:38] <bring3> powertool08, it is possible, though it seems unlikely to me
[10:38] <Frost13> hi everyone
[10:38] <powertool08> bring3: if not lack of power what could cause it?
[10:38] <bring3> hello Frost13
[10:38] <Frost13> how can I install Leopard X theme on gnome or kde?
[10:38] <Frost13> I have ubuntu 8.04
[10:39] <bazhang> !themes | Frost13
[10:39] <Frost13> thank you!
[10:39] <bring3> powertool08, broken or malfunctioning video card, motherboard, monitor, or cpu.
[10:40] <powertool08> bring3: the fan spins so its getting at least some power, there's no onboard video to conflict, tried it in multiple computers with same result
[10:40] <drunkn718> anyone have experience with LVM?
[10:40] <MadHag> is there a usplash theme site anywhere?
[10:40] <Vegombrei> how do i do a dcc file transfer thru irssi
[10:40] <bring3> powertool08, if it doesn't work in multiple computers, sounds like a bad video card
[10:40] <MadHag> !usplash
[10:40] <MZM> drunkn718: it's ubuntu here, what do You expect?
[10:40] <drunkn718> well :P
[10:41] <erUSUL> Vegombrei: /help dcc
[10:41] <blivori> Hi
[10:41] <bazhang> !lvm
[10:41] <powertool08> bring3: hmmm, well thanks for your input :)
[10:41] <drunkn718> so I'm curious as to how recovery works for an LVM VG  or LV that has one of it's physical discs damaged
[10:41] <blivori> I've just installed windows,how do I add it to grub?
[10:41] <MadHag> !windows
[10:41] <drunkn718> there seems to be little documentation on exactly how to recover from this time of thing
[10:41] <bazhang> !grub | blivori
[10:42] <erUSUL> blivori: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add it there (there is an example in the comments of the file)
[10:42] <blivori> ubottu: thanks <3
[10:42] <bring3> powertool08, do all the computers work ok with similar video cards?
[10:42] <drunkn718> i.e. I have several drives in a LV, and then one dies. is there a way to recover the the other drives data; perhaps just shrink the lv to exclude the damaged drive?
[10:42] <blivori> erUSUL: <3 you too
[10:42] <MadHag> bazhang, you can jazz up grub and the boot sequence with a tool called startup manager, its in the repos
[10:42] <blivori> erUSUL: how do I make Kubuntu autologin?
[10:42] <bring3> drunkn718, idk but i think you have to have set up some kind of parity already
[10:42] <bring3> !raid
[10:42] <erUSUL> blivori: dunno
[10:43] <MadHag> !kubuntu @ blivori
[10:43] <bring3> !kubuntu | blivori
[10:43] <MadHag> lol
[10:43] <drunkn718> yeah, I could go the raid route and guarantee single disc failure. just wondering if lvm offer any sort of protection from a damaged disc = \
[10:43] <brocebeats> i am trying to enable emerald by default
[10:44] <koshari> anyone familiar with reconstuctor?
[10:44] <brocebeats> i added emerald to my compiz thing is that the correct way to do it
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> holla
[10:44] <koshari> brocebeats you need compix installed to use emerald
[10:44] <bring3> drunkn718, maybe, but i think you still would have had to have set it up already :( maybe that is something you can configure now?
[10:45] <drunkn718> oh I'm just curious for setting this up now
[10:45] <drash> brocebeats: try running "emerald --replace &" from a terminal, tried that ?
[10:45] <bazhang> !uck | koshari look at this
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> oh man not more compiz stuff
[10:45] <drunkn718> basically I had 4 500gb drives, now 3 with the failure. I'm really hurting for hd space so I was wondering if I could do LVM and get 1.5gb and have some sort of protection
[10:45] <bazhang> ubottu lag
[10:46] <drunkn718> raid5 with 3 discs would give me only 1TB :(
[10:46] <brocebeats> i did try that
[10:46] <brocebeats> but when i restart my session drash it goes back to gtk theme manager
[10:46] <drash> brocebeats: yes, you should add that command to a script and autostart it to make it stick
[10:47] <bazhang> brocebeats, put it in startup session then
[10:47] <bring3> drunkn718, yeah that sounds about right, you might look into other options like ZFS or Hadoop, but they are probably much more of a hassle to configure
[10:47] <brocebeats> true i didnt know if was better to use the window decoration thing instead of a session
[10:47] <drunkn718> yeah definitely, argh damn broken hard drives! :P
[10:48] <MadHag> btw dont put awn in the startup session, it looks horrible when it starts
[10:48] <MadHag> big white panel
[10:48] <drash> brocebeats: you need both, the window decoration thing is inside compiz as a fallback option i believe, in itself it does nothing
[10:48] <brocebeats> ok
[10:48] <lukerohde> bring3 - pyneighborhood - no cigar.  I heard some rumour that gvfs has optional mounting.  Does anyone know anything about this?
[10:49] <brocebeats> thanks drash i got it all set up now
[10:49] <drash> yw
[10:49] <lukerohde> bring3 pyneighborhood can't connect???
[10:49] <bring3> drunkn718, there might be some way to ignore the badblocks and use the rest of the drive, but i guess thats what the badblocks program is supposed to do D: is the drive still under warrenty?
[10:49] <bring3> lukerohde, hrm make sure to enter the same info you usually use to connect to the SMB
[10:50] <drunkn718> it probably is but the people I work with probably threw the receipt away, theres no way this drive is more than 1-2 years old, and don't most drives come with 3 or even 5 year warranties?
[10:50] <bring3> lukerohde, you need to first add the machine, then browse it as user and enter username/pass, then finally mount the share :)
[10:51] <bring3> drunkn718, it depends on manufacturer, you know the brand? the nice thing about drives is that they can usually tell if it is still under warranty or not just from the serial number, you might want to go ahead and pull the drive, then visit the manufacturer site and fill out the warranty claim info
[10:51] <Ienorand> !seen joshual
[10:51] <drunkn718> interesting...thanks for the tip! I'm going to check right now :)
[10:52] <bazhang> !seen | Ienorand
[10:53] <bring3> drunkn718,  some companies like seagate have 5yrs, others are 3 yrs, some are 1 yrs, so i just hope it is still covered =)
[10:53] <renegade444> Hi. I'm trying to ditch M$ WMM for my YouTube video making, but I'm having some Webcam issues. I d/l'd the driver source, got it compiled and the module loaded ok, but seem to be having some palette issues with the driver. Anyway, here's a pastebin of where I'm at: http://pastebin.com/m73a14057  So, does anyone have an Idea how to fix the palette well enough to actually use my webcam?
[10:53] <lukerohde> bring3 It's pretty straight forward.  I set my mount directory to my home directory, specified my username and password.  It says failed to mount, even for local shares
[10:54] <drunkn718> bring3 I think I may be in luck! It's a WD drive and I just checked the site and it's under some "In Limited Warranty" status
[10:54] <Vegombrei> i have an issue moving thru my directories in the shell prompt .. is there a doccument with all the shell commands ?
[10:55] <bring3> lukerhde, you actually want to create an empty directory like /home/user/mysmbmount not use your base /home/user directory :)
[10:55] <nantax> bazhang, thanks, everything working now. i broke nvidia but i think i was able to fix it too
[10:55] <bazhang> nantax, good to hear :)
[10:55] <KenSentMe> I'm using arecord to record phone calls i make with Ekiga. The sound volume in Ekiga is ok, but the recorded output is barely hearable. Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this?
[10:55] <bring3> drunkn718, nice! there is a chance... try to find their online form to submit a warranty claim and try to fill out as much info as you know :)
[10:55] <drash> vegombrei: you could try "man <name of your shell>"
[10:55] <dolphin> vegombrei:  mv folder /a/b/c/ well put "folder" after directory c
[10:56] <dolphin> or man mv
[10:56] <lukerohde> bring3 ok
[10:56] <daveg> hello (don't worry, this is a test message)
[10:57] <lukerohde> thanks bring3 - I gotta go, I'll try that next
[10:57] <bring3> lukerohde, hopefully pyN will set it up automatically, so you don't have to mess with the Mounts tab, just Add Machine, Scan as User, then right click the share and Mount as User -> SMB
[10:58] <bring3> ok lukerohde good luck, there are a few other similar options to pyN as well
[10:58] <Vegombrei> drash: how do i know the name of my shell ? how many types are there and which is the best ?
[10:58] <bring3> daveg, hello (don't worry, this is a test response)
[10:58] <dumnut> hi, when we save our passwords etc into a file, and when we go to another version of ubuntu, which password file is it that we save for the new version?
[10:58] <bazhang> Vegombrei, man bash
[10:58] <deplanear> bring3: thanks! and now i have a non-already-taken name :P
[10:58] <drash> Vegombrei: there are plenty, but bash is a very widely used one
[10:59] <blivori> isn't there any software that configures grub automatically?
[10:59] <Vegombrei> bazhang: thank you !
[10:59] <Vegombrei> drash: thank you !
[11:00] <bring3> blivori, i think there is some grub command that performs setup (that is used in the initial install) but im not sure. you could try looking at config with kgrubeditor
[11:01] <blivori> bring3: thanks
[11:01] <tonyyarusso> Does anyone know how to create a self-signed SSL certificate on Ubuntu these days?  (Now that the tool is gone)
[11:01] <bring3> blivori, hope it helps, i dunno much about grub config
[11:01] <bring3> !grub | blivori
[11:02] <drunkn718> bring3 I think I'm getting a replacement, this is awesome! :)
[11:02] <blivori> ubottu: no, im too lazy to do that
[11:02] <drash> Vegombrei: it is quite some reading, the shell is very powerfull (and picky about syntax) .. http://www.freeos.com/guides/lsst/ might also be worth looking into if it's new territory, gdluck and enjoy :)
[11:02] <bring3> drunkn718, woohoo awesome! now you just have to be patient 4-8 weeks while they ship it ;)
[11:02] <drunkn718> lol yeah seriously haha
[11:02] <bazhang> http://linuxpoison.blogspot.com/2007/10/howto-create-self-signed-ssl.html tonyyarusso
[11:04] <tonyyarusso> bazhang: I'll try that - looks simpler than what I was reading
[11:04] <bazhang> tonyyarusso, there are several other links as well using those keywords you mentioned
[11:05] <bring3> tonyyarusso, doesn't ssh-keygen still work? the current versions should include all updates
[11:05] <Vegombrei> drash: thank you !
[11:05] <tonyyarusso> bazhang: right, hence the more complicated document I was reading ;)
[11:05] <tonyyarusso> bring3: not quite the same thing?
[11:06] <bring3> tonyyarusso, ah yes i see
[11:06] <nucc1> drash: the changes don't fix my X issues :(
[11:06] <AlmondJoe291> i got a major error... and it's happened twice. I've downloaded and burned two diffrent copies of ubuntu descktop 8.04 iso and both copies do the same thing on my rig. I've tried to Live Boot, install Direct from disk and all ways ends in the same thing happing... I'll get a Long wave of error messages just listing on and on for a good solid hour before I get fed up and shut it down... I've taken a snap shot of this and posted it online for

[11:07] <drash> nucc1: hi again, does your /var/log/Xorg.0.log contain any usefull info on what might be wrong ?
[11:07] <bring3> AlmondJoe291, no idea what is causing that but maybe try the alternate install cd?
[11:08] <bazhang> AlmondJoe291, perhaps try the alternate
[11:08] <AlmondJoe291> I have

[11:08] <AlmondJoe291> that wat teh second download
[11:08] <AlmondJoe291> i md5've both copies
[11:08] <bring3> AlmondJoe291,  hrm same errors on both installs? what on earth were the errors?
[11:08] <AlmondJoe291> weird hu

[11:09] <zvacet> obf213 : yes

[11:10] <zvacet> obf213 :yes
[11:10] <drash> nucc1: whow, it looks like it if that showed up yes, weird .. but it might be usefull, did you specify "intel" driver in xorg.conf ?
[11:10] <bring3> AlmondJoe291, how old is your cd-rom drive?
[11:10] <bazhang> !appdb | obf213 check here
[11:10] <AlmondJoe291> hmmm like last year
[11:10] <nucc1> drash: yes I did, after I noticed the problems.
[11:11] <kate_mins> Hello i need help please , i have folder contains tgz archives , does it possible to extract all the archives at the same time ?
[11:11] <bring3> AlmondJoe291, maybe something is wrong with it, or there is a strange incompatibility, just a guess though. are the errors exactly the same using install on either disk?
[11:11] <bring3> kate_mins, i think if you select them all you can right click and do extract here
[11:12] <drash> nucc1: do you have any nvidia driver packages installed ? Not that i could explain the interference even if you might, but it's something to look into i guess
[11:12] <AlmondJoe291> i hope thats it... I got a slightly newer DVD drive...
[11:12] <kate_mins> bring3: does it possible to do the same in the terminal ?
[11:12] <bring3> kate_mins, or tar -xvf *.tgz
[11:12] <bazhang> also md5 the iso AlmondJoe291
[11:12] <bring3> kate_mins, yeah i think that will work, try on one file first to check
[11:13] <jeezyme> hi, i tried to delete my Fedora partition from XP. it deleted some grub file i guess and now i dont know how to boot back into XP! can someone help me?

[11:13] <jeezyme> thank you
[11:13] <bring3> hope that helps, might be good starting place :)
[11:13] <nucc1> drash: yes, I think I installed nvidia-glx. I was making a repository cd to give to a friend who had an nvidia card... will uninstall in a short while, synaptic is re-downloading the compiz stack

[11:14] <drash> nucc1: okay, good idea to remove that one
[11:14] <AlmondJoe291> I think I'll just order me a copy of both disk from one of those CD places and wait a few days to get a copy. I'll also try and change my DVD drive out with this slightly newer one...

[11:17] <theFATMAN> all the 'tool-tips' are coming up blank, anybody know why? I know the kernel was upgraded last night, but wtf?
[11:17] <bring3> AlmondJoe291, if you have another computer or CD burner, it wouldn't hurt to try that, even different CD-R media, im just thinking that even if the ISO is uncorrupted on your harddrive, it might not be getting burned to CD or read from CD properly
[11:17] <Swift_Fox1> i cant see my external hard drive can someone help me find and mount it.
[11:18] <The-Compiler> Swift_Fox, open a terminal and use "sudo fdisk -l" then you should see the device file
[11:19] <Piet44> hi my ubuntu 6.06.1 crashes every day at the same time and i cant find anything in the logs, i tested disks and memory but no errors
[11:20] <Piet44> oh and my modules are not enabled at startup i can see that in logs
[11:20] <Swift_Fox1> The-Compiler: is it just the /dev/sda?
[11:21] <MadHag> when I alt tab to view and switch programs I have open the images are just white, is this an issue in Hardy?
[11:21] <drash> Piet44: hi again, just a guess, but the same timeframe every day smells like there might be a cron job responsible for your problem ..
[11:22] <jeezyme> bring3, i get this error when i try the 'Recover grub automaticallly' method: The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.
[11:22] <bring3> Swift_Fox, maybe, can you tell which one? if not paste the whole thing into pastebin so we can see
[11:22] <bring3> !paste | Swift_Fox
[11:22] <yaroslav> What is the best way to get fullname of a file, ie ~/filename => /hime/user/filename? something like dirname plus basename
[11:23] <zetheroo> I was running the updates on my Hardy system here and I get a warning message about /etc/gnome/defaults.list and I would like if someone could help me to make the right choice here.  http://pastebin.com/d2fbea57f
[11:23] <bring3> jeezyme, hmm i dunno, you can try to look at the file like this, make sure not to save any edits unless you know what to do: sudo gedit /boot/grub/stage1
[11:25] <Swift_Fox> ok i will try to paste
[11:25] <Swift_Fox> give me 1 mine
[11:25] <jeezyme> gedit has not been able to detect the character coding. Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file. Select a character coding from the menu and try again. <--tat error now!
[11:25] <bring3> zetheroo, my guess would be to say okay, but not really sure
[11:25] <zetheroo> bring3: did you see the pastebin?
[11:25] <drash> zetheroo: looking at your paste i'd go with the new one (you could make a backup of the old one first to be able to roll back if trouble occurs)
[11:26] <bring3> jeezyme, maybe that file is corrupt, see if you can find any guides on how to replace it? probably just figure out how to re-run the grub setup
[11:26] <bring3> zetheroo, yeah, and backing up your old sources.list is not a bad idea :)
[11:26] <jeezyme> okay, will see!
[11:27]  * bring3 crosses fingers
[11:27] <zetheroo> bring3 this is the defaults.list file ... btw what does this file actually control?
[11:27] <crystal> hello

[11:30] <drash> nucco: actually i do yes, nice that you found that one
[11:30] <crystal> bazhang and zvacet , thanks
[11:30]  * nucco goes off to launchpad
[11:30] <Larson> http://phpfi.com/321902  <-- Is this caused by a broken package? Or is it just me who is daft (most probably)
[11:30] <FreezeHeat> How can I add premisions for VirtualBox ?
[11:30] <bring3> zetheroo, it looks like it includes some default desktop settings, like program associations for audio-cdda or dvd, usually its best to have the most current version
[11:30] <crystal> if all such drivers are available then why to bother one self getting mint linux, im confused really
[11:31] <Swift_Fox> bring3: what do you think?
[11:31] <bazhang> crystal, because support there is a big goose egg :)
[11:31] <drash> zetheroo: it's a mimetype list, sort of a guide to gnome to open the correct application for all the different types of files you have on your system
[11:31] <zvacet>      crysta : read this to add medibuntu to your source list https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu

[11:32] <bring3> Swift_Fox, hmm i don't see the fdisk command in there, type this in terminal then copy what follow: sudo fdisk -l
[11:33] <crystal> zvacet: thanks i will read that too
[11:34] <zvacet> crystal: there is notrmuch to read just how to add line in source list
[11:34] <bring3> Larson, hrm i dunno that looks weird
[11:34] <Hansemann> can someone help me with a AVerTV USB MCE tv card in ubuntu?
[11:35] <bring3> Larson, what version of libglib2 does Synaptic say is installed?
[11:35] <bazhang> crystal, also need to import gpg key
[11:35] <Swift_Fox> bring3:i posted a message to you. did you get it?
[11:35] <bring3> Hansemann, what is the problem, although i only know a very little about tv cards
[11:35] <crystal> how to get gpg keys?
[11:35] <Hansemann> i cant get it to work
[11:36] <Larson> bring3: 2.16.3-1unbuntu2
[11:36] <zvacet> bazhang : it is all on link I posted
[11:36] <bazhang> crystal, the instructions are on the site
[11:36] <Hansemann> ubuntu wont recognize it
[11:36] <crystal> thanks i will check that too
[11:36] <bring3> Swift_Fox, oh yeah, can you remind me what you would like to mount? the basic command is: sudo mount <device> <mountpoint>
[11:36] <bazhang> zvacet, sorry to interrupt :)
[11:36] <Tyczek> hi, i'm using custom theme and can you tell me how to replace the ubuntu logo?
[11:36] <Larson> bring3: on kubuntu though, so that is what adept manager tells me.... but it should be the same
[11:37] <zvacet> bazhang : nothing to be sorry about
[11:38] <CorpseFeeder> I formatted my computer (running Edgy 6.10) and installed a fresh Hardy Heron. However I backed up my entire home directory before formatting... Can I just copy the entire contents of my old 6.10 home directory to the new 8.04 home directory? I created a home directory with the same username and password as the old install. Am I going to run into problems with file access permission etc.?
[11:38] <scifiguy951> anyone know how to use foxyproxy??
[11:38] <bring3> Larson, well maybe libglib2.0-dev specifically requires libglib2.0-0 and some other program requires your current version, 2.16.3-1ubuntu2? maybe it is something to ask about the libglib2.0-dev package
[11:39] <nucco> CorpseFeeder: there shouldn't be any problems
[11:39] <Mets> does anybody know how to setup openssh so I can ssh into my ubuntu virtual machine?
[11:39] <scifiguy951> ??
[11:39] <nucco> CorpseFeeder: yes, you can copy it back, and most programs will pick the previous settings up
[11:39] <Swift_Fox> bring3:trying to mount my external terabyte hard drive
[11:39] <^BiplanO^> hi all
[11:40] <nucco> Mets: I've never done that before, but if your VM is already communicating with the host via the network, then all you have to do is install openssh-server
[11:40] <Larson> bring3: is there a way to easily check that?
[11:40] <CorpseFeeder> ok cool
[11:40] <drash> Tyczek: you could try leaving the theme as it is and replacing the ubunto logo on hard disk by the one you want to use (rename the original one and give your new one the ubuntu logo name) .. dirty hack but might be easier ;)
[11:40] <Mets> nucco: I've installed openssh-server, but whenever i try to connect it just times out
[11:40] <bring3> Swift_Fox, im not sure if your drive is being detected properly, where do you see it?
[11:40] <^BiplanO^> i have a problem with swap... my computer becomes VERY slow when swapping... i can't even move mouse fluently
[11:40] <nucco> Mets: you should check the network configuration, and possibly any firewall rules.
[11:41] <nucco> ^BiplanO^: probably have a very slow HDD
[11:41] <Mets> nucco: the internet works on both of them, says the have the same ip which is weird, but it works; no firewall prevention I don't believe
[11:41] <^BiplanO^> cpu goes in IOWait when swapping
[11:41] <scifiguy951> scsi drive?? what is that?
[11:41] <nucco> ^BiplanO^: err, sorry, I actually think the problem is aggravated on hardy. I don't know why though.
[11:42] <^BiplanO^> nucco...no my hd is not very slow
[11:42] <^BiplanO^> it's a sata
[11:42] <Swift_Fox> bring3:i dont see it at all.
[11:42] <nucco> Mets: they shouldn't have the same IP.
[11:42] <Tyczek> drash, uhm, i tried to replace and i did it... /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/distributor-logo.png
[11:42] <Okys> how good have people got their ATI graphics performance?
[11:42] <Tyczek> but nothing happened ;p
[11:42] <scifiguy951> ?
[11:42] <bring3> Swift_Fox, how is it attached, USB?
[11:42] <bazhang> !ati | Okys
[11:42] <Mets> nucco: I checked a few websites that tell you your ip, and they seem to have the same
[11:42] <Okys> ubottu - cheers :)
[11:43] <scifiguy951> how do i find unmounted drives on my comp??
[11:43] <Mets> ubuntu is running as a VM via VirtualBox on windows xp
[11:43] <Swift_Fox> yes
[11:43] <Swift_Fox> bring3:yes
[11:43] <scifiguy951> ?
[11:43] <nucco> Mets: they should have different IPs in the same subnet
[11:43] <Hansemann> i get this when i run lsusb:  ID 07ca:1228 AVerMedia Technologies, Inc.
[11:43] <nucco> ^BiplanO^: one of my systems has an ATI x1600 with 512MB of system RAM, that's the one that is slow when swapping. Other systems with lower specs actually work fine. No idea what the problem is.
[11:44] <bring3> scifiguy951, one way is "sudo fdisk -l" to see a list of devices, another way is using Administration -> Partition Editor
[11:44] <nucco> Mets: you don't need to check a website. use the network configuration tool to give them different IPs
[11:44] <bring3> might only work for HDs though
[11:44] <^BiplanO^> nucco ..I have ATI too
[11:44] <bring3> Swift_Fox, look in the /media directory
[11:44] <Mets> nucco: how do I do that?
[11:44] <nucco> Mets: if for instance the host is <IP_ADDRESS>, give the VM <IP_ADDRESS> if its available
[11:44] <scifiguy951> i dont see partion editor in administration????
[11:45] <^BiplanO^> nucco: it's a radeon 9600 with 128Mb.... do i have to check the agp aperture on bios?
[11:45] <drash> Tyczek: sure that's the only place you need to make the change ? perhaps there are more sizes besides 48x48 .. "locate" and "find" could be helpfull commands to try n track down any others
[11:45] <Mets> that must be the problem
[11:45] <Tyczek> drash, ok, i'll try
[11:45] <Swift_Fox> bring3: jett@jett-laptop:/media$ ls
[11:45] <Swift_Fox> cdrom  cdrom0
[11:45] <scifiguy951> can someone help me mount a secondary hdd?
[11:46] <bring3> Swift_Fox, hrm make sure the drive is powered on and connected? my USB drive shows up /media/disk
[11:46] <nucco> ^BiplanO^: I suppose that's a common denominator then.  However, I am using fglrx drivers, and I have 512MB of ram, I hardly see why you shouldn't expect your system to be slow if you're running Gnome with 128MB of ram
[11:46] <Frost13> hi again everyone
[11:46] <Frost13> where can I find Compiz in Ubuntu menu?
[11:46] <nucco> ^BiplanO^: if 128MB is your system RAM, then you should take a look at xubuntu instead
[11:46] <bring3> !compiz | Frost13
[11:46] <^BiplanO^> nucco 128 mb is the video ram .... i have 1 GB
[11:46] <Swift_Fox> bring3:do i need to edit fstab?
[11:47] <bring3> Frost13, System -> Preferences -> Advanced Desktop Effects Settings
[11:47] <Maxdamantus> Someone should make an Ubuntu with PekWM.
[11:47] <Maxdamantus> Pubuntu.
[11:47] <Swift_Fox> !fstab
[11:47] <nucco> ^BiplanO^: or install xfce and use that instead of GNOME. I am not referring to Video RAM here, its mostly irrelevant.
[11:47] <bazhang> !brainstorm | Maxdamantus
[11:47] <bring3> Swift_Fox, i don't think so, run "sudo fdisk -l" again see if anything else is listed, try unplugging & replugging the USB drive
[11:48] <scifiguy951> i dont see partion editor in administration????
[11:48] <^BiplanO^> nucco... I have 1Gb system ram with 2 Gb swap and we're talking about ubuntu..not vista :D
[11:48] <bazhang> scifiguy951, sudo apt-get install gparted
[11:49] <nucco> ^BiplanO^: oh, sorry, I suppose that you should file a bug report. I would imagine it's a kernel scheduling problem, but I don't know why it doesn't affect other systems without ATI cards.
[11:49] <bring3> yup, n1 bazhang :)
[11:49] <effchen> %
[11:49] <xfroggy> why are kernel being constantly added to the grub menu w/ each update?
[11:49] <JbCrash> how i can change my default language in english to tamil/?
[11:50] <Mets> nucco: how do I change the ip address on the ubuntu machine?
[11:50] <segagman> hello i need some help i google it but to no avail im tryin to us l4 to burn a light scribe but it keeps saying
[11:51] <segagman> printing requires root privileges
[11:51] <bring3> xfroggy, for me it only shows 1 previous kernal before the current ont
[11:51] <segagman> can any 1 help/
[11:51] <segagman> ?
[11:51] <Maxdamantus> segagman, run the program with sudo/gksudo, whatever.
[11:51] <xfroggy> bring3, weird, I already got 3 kernels collected *.16-18
[11:52] <nantax> xfroggy, that would amount to six including the recovery
[11:52] <bring3> xfroggy, hmm lol i have -14 and -16
[11:52] <xfroggy> yea, 6 total lol
[11:52] <nantax> -16 -17 -18 for me
[11:52] <nantax> you can remove the extra entries from the /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:53] <xfroggy> shouldn't update do that? O.o?
[11:53] <peace-keeper> i have a super noob question.. if i burn the 700mb ubuntu .iso on a dvd instead of a cd, will i still be able to boot from it on an average pc ? or does it have to be a cd ?
[11:53] <nantax> and find the kernel in synaptic and remove it manually
[11:53] <xfroggy> 7.04 seemed to erase older versions
[11:53] <don-robbery> anyone know how to play DRM protected wmv files in ubuntu, i get video but no sound
[11:53] <bazhang> xfroggy, may want to keep one around though
[11:53] <segagman> so i type sudo #4L    ?
[11:53] <Slart> xfroggy: it's a setting in menu.lst
[11:53] <nantax> i think its for safety purposes so that if the new kernel broke, you can go back to the old one
[11:53] <bring3> peace-keeper, that depends if the average pc has a dvd drive :)
[11:53] <xfroggy> ah
[11:53] <peace-keeper> :D
[11:53] <Jalathan> peace-keeper: as long as the other computer has a DVD reader/burner, it'll work
[11:53] <Slart> xfroggy: and grub-update will remove older kernel version
[11:53] <peace-keeper> sweet thx
[11:53] <Slart> xfroggy: *versions
[11:54] <koshari> Mets you want a static IP address?
[11:54] <xfroggy> aha, will look into it, ty Slart :D
[11:54] <StooJ> Hi all. My GTK has disappeared, can I reinstall it or something?
[11:54] <Mets> koshari I think so yes, right now the virtual machine shares with the host
[11:54] <Timsen> hi, can I give the reboot or shutdown command an option to boot up a specific boot entry in grub?
[11:54] <bring3> !gparted | scifiguy951
[11:55] <nantax> is there a way to colorize the texts scrolling during boot? i dont use the splash and quiet option in grub
[11:55] <JbCrash> how i can change my default language in english to tamil/?
[11:55] <Maxdamantus> segagman, gksudo 4L-gui
[11:55] <koshari> Mets yes that would be correct , i would assume the ethernet port is bridged to both the host and client
[11:55] <nantax> the tutorial in the forum for colorizing the boot text does not include 8.04
[11:55] <bring3> nantax, try qgrubeditor ? that is how i know how to do it
[11:55] <Dr_Willis> Timsen:  ive seen some disrtos do that.. Not sure how they do it. Not seen that feature in ubuntu. (yet)
[11:55] <drash> nantax: there's a color command in /boot/grub/menu.lst that you can activate by uncommenting i believe
[11:56] <AlmondJoe291> ok after checking the md5 hashing the both iso images, I have discovered that yes both are correct. this time I sed imgBurn to burn my inages and to verify against the iso after burn. made me 3 more coasters. but i think i know the problem, I may be burning faster tehn my media is raed for so i dropped the speed to 16x... would my burn speed effect the that? i sure it is we shall see in a second....
[11:56] <Timsen> okay dr I found also nothing in ubuntu about that, thanks for your reply
[11:56] <nantax> drash, bring3 : will check thanks
[11:56] <Mets> koshari right, how do I change it so that the VM has its own IP?
[11:56] <bazhang> AlmondJoe291, yes; burn as slow as possible
[11:56] <segagman> this sucks i cant get this lightscribe to work
[11:57] <nantax> found it in the menu.lst # Pretty colours
[11:57] <bring3> sure nantax hope it helps :)
[11:57] <don-robbery> Mets if you use NAT instead of bridge the host pc will assign a ip for you
[11:57] <nantax> going to try and reboot and see if it works
[11:57] <Swift_Fox> bring3:its like my laptop isnt reading my external. cause the light is blinking on the external when i plug it into my laptop via usb. but when i take it out the light on the external goes off
[11:57] <segagman> i dont know the right sudo   what ever...
[11:57] <drash> nantax: yep , that's the one .. but don't have too hig expectations hehe
[11:57] <Maxdamantus> segagman, the sudo password is your user password.
[11:58] <nantax> lol, will try qgrubeditor
[11:58] <Maxdamantus> It's verifying that you're you, not someone who's just got on your computer.
[11:58] <Jalathan> out of curiosity, has anyone successfully bridged a WiFi adapter to an Ethernet adaptor?
[11:58] <Swift_Fox> is there any way to keep track of people on irc like aim does with a friends list?
[11:59] <segagman> i loged in as root in the terminal and when i run the gui it still says: printing requires root privileges
[11:59] <Slart> Swift_Fox: some clients have some kind of "friend" system..
[11:59] <bring3> nantax, there is kgrubeditor too fri
[11:59] <nantax> bring3: which is better
[11:59] <Swift_Fox> slart:does xchat?
[11:59] <Maxdamantus> segagman, you need to run it from the terminal.
[11:59] <Slart> Swift_Fox: I have no idea.. I think mIRC had it when I tried 15 years ago =)
[11:59] <segagman> will that bring up the gui
[11:59] <Maxdamantus> Should do.
[11:59] <bring3> nantax, idk i think it just depends if you have KDE or QT installed, i have both so it makes no difference to me :)
[11:59] <steven3> lol
[12:00] <don-robbery> segagman  use terminal and command     'gksu app_name'  it will run  the program and root
[12:00] <nantax> i have enabled something that gives feedback when something happens to a window... like the window will dim if i press backspace once too often... where is that located?
[12:01] <bazhang> nantax, using compiz?
[12:01] <Slart> nantax: I think it's in system, preferences, sound.. second tab.. use visual sounds or something like that
[12:01] <wild_oscar> howdi - I have a bug with twinview and Enhanced zoom (compiz) - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/235768
[12:01] <drash> nantx: a compiz setting ? if so, look at the fade plugin
[12:01] <Slart> nantax: sorry.. third tab, Visual System Beep
[12:01] <effchen> :ab
[12:01] <AlmondJoe291> ok... RIGHT ON!... ImgBurn says it exactly the same as the ISO... So i guess it was my burner... Funny tis is my media is rated for 48x and my burner is a 32x if i remember correctly... Gues it faster then 48 after all...
[12:02] <bring3> Swift_Fox, after you plug the USB drive in, run "sudo fdisk -l" again and see what it says
[12:02] <Slart> nantax: might be some kind of compiz setting too
[12:02] <nantax> Slart: lol thanks, its under sound preferences setting, system beep, visual system beep, flash entire screen. i have been looking for this for hours now... lol
[12:02] <AlmondJoe291> hope this solves my issue with install...
[12:02] <wild_oscar> anyone here using compiz enhanced zoom, Hardy and twinview?
[12:02] <drash> AlmondJoe291: great, one step closer to getting it installed, goodluck
[12:02] <wild_oscar> would be glad to test if the bug is reproducible
[12:02] <Slart> nantax: obvious.. the screen flashing.. it must be in the "sound" section ;)
[12:02] <AlmondJoe291> gonna have the boot menu now verify later yall...
[12:02] <KenSentMe> I'm using arecord to record phone calls i make with Ekiga. The sound volume in Ekiga is ok, but the recorded output is barely hearable. Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this?

[12:23] <gma> hi can anyone suggest good arcade game?
[12:23] <bring3> [newb]Miki, that is fine, just use that, that is for the newest version of Ubuntu i think (8.04)
[12:23] <Slart> gma: look through the games section in synaptic
[12:23] <dvs> yes  cp cannot stat
[12:23] <Slart> gma: or in the Add/Remove thingy
[12:23] <killerboy> it was because i knew what x86-64 is, but didn't know that intel named theyr new processors core duo and core quatro

[12:24] <Slart> FreezeHeat: either use the realplayer (it's not that horrible on linux).. or play them using smoe kind of realplayer codec
[12:24] <rconan> FreezeHeat, you need to install alien and use that
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> killerboy: are you familiar with the term "troll"
[12:24] <gma> !man
[12:24] <rconan> FreezeHeat, IIRC alien -i /path/to/rpm/file

[12:26] <killerboy> i know, that you cannot do anything
[12:26] <dede441> hi here

[12:27] <orion_ghf> zubair no I dont think so .. but u can press Alt+F2 and write the command there and it opens
[12:27] <killerboy> ok
[12:27] <killerboy> i'll stop then

[12:33] <hulihutu> how can i know if my oracle service is working? thanks.
[12:33] <pria> kiwkiwi
[12:33] <tetraedr> Pici, audacious sux. it hangs on network radio
[12:34] <Slart> Lazyworm: don't you have some kind of common startup file?
[12:34] <drash> dvs: but that's not your only problem i'm afraid; it can't stat ANY of the files it seems ..
[12:34] <bazhang> pria, english please
[12:34] <Slart> Lazyworm: or a repository of your own..
[12:34] <carrera> thanks Slart, but I already have Fedora 8 using the BIOS RAID on my box
[12:34] <zubair_>  orion_ghf mine was too! but i restarted the system and all da icons were there on the panel! i guess u shul add a new panel and then try to add that icon!!
[12:35] <drash> dvs: i would try to backup a step or 15 and start over (not wanting to be funny)
[12:35] <orion_ghf> zubair Ill try this thanks
[12:35] <[newb]Miki> Enable accelerated the accelerated ATI graphics driver in the restricted-manager, then do:  <-- its not there, there is NOTHING in that list :s  what do i need to do now? :) i'm using this tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[12:35] <carrera> Pici, Software Add/Remove didn't find audicious
[12:35] <Slart> carrera: dual booting with Fedora?
[12:35] <Pici> carrera: Its audacious I beleive.
[12:35] <Lazyworm> slart, hmm, nope
[12:36] <carrera> Pici, sorry, i had a typo
[12:36] <orion_ghf> zubair no :( it didnt work with me
[12:36] <pria> hihi..
[12:36] <millers> i just install the latest ubuntu server and it never asked me for a root password in the install. what would the password be?
[12:36] <pria> hey
[12:36] <carrera> Thanks Pici
[12:36] <peace-keeper> yay i got rid of the stupid linpus
[12:37] <carrera> Slart, No sir, i was a RedHad/Fedora user for years but I'm converting to Ubuntu
[12:37] <Slart> carrera: I'm just guessing but isn't fakeraid a kind of driver? search for your motherboard model in the ubuntu forums?
[12:37] <carrera> I've come to really like Ubuntu on my laptop
[12:37] <Grim76__> millers: Use sudo.  Root is not enabled by default in Ubuntu.
[12:37] <orion_ghf> thanks anyway
[12:37] <carrera> Slart, I did back when 7.10 was around and it was a pain to install
[12:38] <millers> thanks Grim76__, i just found that in the docs
[12:38] <Slart> Lazyworm: I think there is a utility that can clone what you write to a number of ssh sessions.. so write once, run everywhere kind of thingy
[12:38] <carrera> Slart, so I decided to keep Fedora on my server until Ubuntu came with support built in
[12:38] <drash> dvs: have you tried a different set of instructions to achieve the same goal ? like the one at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent ?
[12:39] <peace-keeper> what a pretty background picture in the ubuntu install
[12:39] <ne2k__> Slart: Lazyworm: what are you trying to do with this ssh thing?
[12:39] <peace-keeper> looks like a bird
[12:39] <Slart> ne2k__: install a package on 50'ish computers at once
[12:40] <Lazyworm> slart, i was thinking about a script which log all stations sequencely and do apt-get command. but i donno if it there is a better way to do that
[12:40] <drash> hi peace-keepr: yes, that's why the dubbed it the 'heron' ;)
[12:40] <ne2k__> Slart: well you could do cat LISTOFHOSTS |while read IPADDR; do ssh $IPADDR apt-get install PACKAGE; done
[12:40] <Slart> Lazyworm: that sounds like it would work
[12:41] <Slart> Lazyworm: but ne2k__'s solution looks nicer =)
[12:41] <ne2k__> Slart: and if you don't want to type all those passwords in, and they all have the same password, you can use sshpass -p "password" ssh $IPADDR apt-get install PACKAGE instead
[12:41] <ne2k__> Slart: I think Lazyworm's solution /is/ the same ;-)
[12:42] <Lazyworm> hoho, thanks alart+ne2k, i did it but just feel its not right, there must be a smart way
[12:42] <Lazyworm> smarter*
[12:42] <peace-keeper> what's an ibex ?
[12:42] <tony403> hi guys, ne one no if obuntu proceses on emachines?
[12:42] <ne2k__> Lazyworm: lol, Freudian slip ;-)
[12:42] <Slart> peace-keeper: a bird?
[12:42] <ne2k__> peace-keeper: a type of bird
[12:42] <ne2k__> !dict ibex
[12:42] <ne2k__> hmmm
[12:42] <peace-keeper> this doesn't look like a bird: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibex
[12:42] <Rampage> Hi, just wondering everytime a kernel update is done it gives the options of 2 kernels in the grub menu so presumable its keeping both kernels.
[12:42] <bazhang> peace-keeper, something to be chatted about in #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:42] <Rampage> How can I remove an older one?
[12:43] <ne2k__> ah, no, it's a goat!
[12:43] <ne2k__> silly me
[12:43] <ne2k__> that's a bird: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibis
[12:43] <Slart> Rampage: it's keeping more than two.. but it only shows two in the grub boot list
[12:43] <Rampage> Slart: Oh okay, so do I want to get rid of the older ones?
[12:44] <Slart> Rampage: it's not like they are huuuge.. but sure.. you can uninstall them using synaptic if you want.. just keep at least two.. in case the latest one starts acting up
[12:44] <Rampage> Okay, thanks very much Slart :-)
[12:45] <dvs> drash: i'm going to start over, if that don't work i'll use ur link
[12:45] <Slart> Rampage: you're welcome
[12:45] <drash> dvs: yes it's a whole laundry list thta instruction set, goodluck :)

[12:47] <blackfox-san> how to remove usb drive seftly at ubuntu 8.04?
[12:48] <m0u5e> blackfox-san: right click on the icon, "unmount"
[12:48] <drash> dvs: it's still a very recent page i noticed, no comments yet to point the OP to any typo's .. better try the other one
[12:48] <Lazyworm> ubottu, thanks, gonnoa check it out
[12:48] <m0u5e> blackfox-san: commandline umount /dev/sdb works too (assuming that sdb is your drive)
[12:48] <Slart> !info clusterssh
[12:49] <m0u5e> haha ubottu is awesome xD
[12:49] <blackfox-san> thank you : )
[12:49] <Slart> there is another one, Lazyworm .. clusterssh... although I still think the one-liner is pretty nice =)
[12:49] <m0u5e> I love ubottu. (i wonder if there is a response to this?)
[12:50] <m0u5e> blackfox-san: np
[12:50] <ne2k__> ubottu: how much unintelligence do you have, really?
[12:50] <Piet44> drash: there are no cronjobs, only the default even if i turn off cronjobs then it happen

[12:50] <Natalisushka> Hey anyone knows Why can't I erase some files my flash memory and get "operation not permitted" and "read-only" ? And how can I do that? Note that it's a memory of an mp3. How can I format it without breaking the it's system?
[12:51] <I_Love_Freedom> hi!
[12:51] <dvs> i think my problem is that the .iso is not mounted.  how do i mount a .iso?
[12:51] <Natalisushka> I_Love_Freedom:  HI!
[12:51] <Slart> !mountiso | dvs
[12:52] <Slart> Natalisushka: how do you erase them?
[12:52] <dvs> what would my mountpoint be?
[12:52] <I_Love_Freedom> • Natalisushka •How are you ?)
[12:53] <Slart> dvs: you will have to create one.. I use /mnt/iso
[12:53] <drash> Piet44: hmm, tough one to track down i guess without any concrete error logs .. can't say i have any helpfull other ideas (besides upgrading, but even then it's wait and see if you don't know what's causing it)
[12:53] <bing> im trying to setup wireless media sharing to my ps3, ive been trying all morning ive tried all morning using various walkthroughs and trying to build fuppes ,, can some one please give me a complete idiots guide to doing this, i can do this in windows but i trying to hold out switching back
[12:53] <ne2k__> bing: are you using samba?
[12:54] <dvs> so it's a folder path..  i could use   /home/dvs/desktop               ??
[12:54] <bing> i dont think so
[12:54] <Slart> dvs: don't use a folder already being used for something else.. it should be empty
[12:54] <I_Love_Freedom> • Natalisushka • Do you speak russian ??)
[12:54] <ne2k__> bing: so what have you tried, and what doesn't work as expected?
[12:54] <tony403> is obuntu the ting to have for free softwarez?
[12:54] <Slart> dvs: you could use /home/dvs/Desktop/myiso if you want it on your desktop
[12:55] <Slart> tony403: nah.. but Ubuntu might be what you're looking for
[12:55]  * Rolanditu is away (Leaving! Regreso Mas Tarde!)

[12:55] <Kartagis> can I use windows fonts in ubuntu? I'm guessing I can but I wanted to ask you guys
[12:55] <tony403> i have a disk but it won't down load
[12:55] <Slart> Kartagis: yes, you can use truetype fonts
[12:55] <nickmalcolm42> I got the wrong CD in the mail??? Asked for Desktop Edition of 8.04 LTS (64-bit), the packaging was right, but the actual CD says Server Edition.
[12:55] <nickmalcolm42>  I just thought if Canonical are sending out wrong CD's then they should know. So if anyone knows who to tell?
[12:56] <ne2k__> I_Love_Freedom: ya nye govoryu po russki. myenya zavoot Andryushka ;_)
[12:56] <bing> i tried to do a bulid of fuppes using the wiki site but after something installed it kept just give error messages files not found, i set up media tomb added my media to it but the ps3 wont pick it up
[12:56] <zubair_> gutentag
[12:56] <Kartagis> Slart: will they look like in windows?
[12:56] <bing> im googleing samba now to see what it is
[12:56] <Slart> nickmalcolm42: look at the main ubuntu site.. there must be a contact address somewhere
[12:56] <Natalisushka> I_Love_Freedom:  :)
[12:56] <Slart> Kartagis: afaik, yes
[12:56] <Kartagis> yay!
[12:56] <ne2k__> Kartagis: roughly
[12:56] <tony403> i herd obuntu communty was helpfull?
[12:57] <ne2k__> Kartagis: the font rendering is probably better in X than in Windows
[12:57] <Piet44> drash: thanks for help i dont want to upgrade before i know why it crashes
[12:57] <Piet44> :)
[12:57] <Slart> tony403: we try
[12:57] <Natalisushka> Slart: I erase them using terminal rm -r or using delete in nautilus
[12:57] <bing> the ps3 dosent use windows so samba wont work
[12:57] <Kartagis> one more thing. do I have to type any command after copying the font to ~/.fonts?
[12:57] <tony403> why won't the cd down load?
[12:57] <drash> Piet44: yes probably the smart thing to do to avoid further hairpulling :)
[12:57] <I_Love_Freedom> • ne2k__ • ))) Nas zovyt Alyona & Barbara &&
[12:57] <ne2k__> bing: errm? samba has nothing to do with windows
[12:57] <Slart> Natalisushka: try using "sudo rm -r" instead.. but be careful.. command line doesn't use a trash bin so once it's gone it is gone
[12:58] <ne2k__> I_Love_Freedom: right, let's stop this now ;-)
[12:58] <ne2k__> bing: samba is a smb server for unix
[12:58] <bing> i thought it was a set of tools foe sharing files with windows based computers
[12:58] <peace-keeper> what to do when "lshw" says -network DISABLED
[12:58] <Slart> Kartagis: here are a couple of update-fonts* commands.. you might try those
[12:59] <Natalisushka> Slart: I did use sudo. Still get Read only
[12:59] <bing> To make a long story short : The Samba project was started in 1992 by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is a set of tools to share files and printers with computers running Microsoft Windows. It implements the [WWW] SMB network protocol, which is the heart of Windows networking.
[12:59] <Slart> tony403: you are trying to download a cd but it doesn't work?
[12:59] <ne2k__> bing: no, it's a server for sharing files with the SMB protocol. It so happens that SMB is the protocol used by "Windows File Sharing", but... that's it
[12:59] <I_Love_Freedom> • ne2k__ • )))
[12:59] <Slart> Natalisushka: can you do a ls -l in the folder where these files are and pastebin it?
[12:59] <Slart> !pastebin | Natalisushka
[13:00] <bing> ok ill read this see if this works
[13:00] <blackfox-san> how to install install flash player?
[13:00] <Natalisushka> Slart: I know where they are. Inside .Trashes .. but they won't get erased.
[13:00] <MrMist> The keys on my numeric keypad restarts X... how do I fix this ?
[13:00] <eyemean> hi there, if i install ubuntu 8.04 within windows xp, is it still as safe as installing it on a seperate parition/
[13:01] <Natalisushka> Slart: I am not able to paste any thing now cuz the flash memory isn't available now
[13:01] <tony403> i made the disk but i reboot and it won't down load to my pc oviously cuz i take the disk out and i have no obuntu
[13:01] <Slart> Natalisushka: it might be a permission problem.. it might be that the flash drive is mounted read only..
[13:01] <Natalisushka> Slart: How can I mount it read-write?
[13:02] <Natalisushka> I plug it as usual. Sometimes I am able to add to it and delete, but only certain  files are not permitted
[13:02] <Slart> Natalisushka: depends on what filesystem it uses.. if it's fat32, ntfs, or something else
[13:02] <Natalisushka> I think it's msdos
[13:02] <Natalisushka> Slart: I think it's msdos
[13:02] <Slart> Natalisushka: usually just deleting it as root (using sudo) is enough to make it work
[13:02] <eyemean> any takers on installing ubuntu in windows?
[13:03] <tony403> blackfox-san, apt-cache search flash or use the gui interface to find it
[13:03] <ouellettesr> E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[13:03] <ouellettesr> E: Unable to lock the download directory
[13:03] <ouellettesr> any ideas here?
[13:03] <Natalisushka> Slart: Well it's not! it's not the first time also. I also have problem deleting from ubuntu files that were sent to Trash in a previous installation on another hard disk in the computer. This is the 10 times installation and they are still there.
[13:04] <Dr_willis> eyemean,  I much perfer it installed to its own partitions
[13:04] <ggarlic> .
[13:04] <odinsbane> does anybody know what package I need to run java 6 class files?
[13:04] <Slart> Natalisushka: can you find a file you cannot delete and do a "ls -l" in the folder?
[13:04] <tony403> eyemean, yes, as far as i know it installs like a shell app
[13:04] <Natalisushka> I will but in a few minutes
[13:05] <eyemean> yeah thats what i've been doing dr-willis, but i was intrested when i saw it could be installed within windows. espcially because my friends pc dosent seem to like having ubuntu on seperate parition
[13:05] <candive> Hello to everyone.  How do I become Root to update clam & other applications.
[13:05] <ReverendUK> Hey guys, i don't suppose that wine have an IRC chan on here do they?
[13:05] <keri> i just installed Samba for my xubuntu, and used pyNeighborhood to browse shares.  on my windows xp box, i tried to drag and drop the files over to the xubuntu share setup, and it said access denied , so i tried to pull them over from xubuntu and it said Failed to mount.  what am i doing wrong. ive done this before. please help.
[13:06] <Slart> Natalisushka: you can also start nautilus as root, "gksudo nautilus" and use that window to delete the files.. but if sudo rm doesn't work I don't think the nautilus way will work either
[13:06] <Slart> ReverendUK: #winehq

[13:07] <cdc> Quick ? Can you upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 using only an active internet connection? I have 7.10 on my lappy and I was going to download and reinstall but if I can just upgrade that would be cool to.

[13:10] <ouellettesr> ikonia, i just opened it
[13:10] <eyemean> Dr_willis, its basically because i tried installing ubuntu on a friends pc, but once the process is done, i reboot and it never completes the booting process
[13:10] <ikonia> ouellettesr: so where are you getting that error then ?
[13:10] <eyemean> cheers tony403
[13:11] <keri> what is the best samba program to use for trouble free usage?
[13:11] <ikonia> keri: samba
[13:11] <keri> llol
[13:11] <keri> this samba looks different though from ubuntus
[13:11] <cdc> Slart: when I upgrade to hardy is there an option to loose all of your settings like you were reformatting freshly>?
[13:11] <ikonia> samba doesn't have a gui, what are you trying to do/want to do
[13:12] <keri> i have xubuntu and got samba downloaded and installed but it looks alot more generic
[13:12] <ikonia> looks ?
[13:12] <Slart> cdc: I don't think so.. I think it just upgrades
[13:12] <keri> it doesnt integrate with my filebrowser
[13:12] <ouellettesr> ikonia, i started the pc, it told me i had updates, so i tried to install them, then it gave that error before it installed any of them. The only time I had synaotic runnung was when i tried to install them manually which didnt work either
[13:12] <cdc> Slart: darn, thanks.
[13:12] <ouellettesr> now its telling me to reboot for some reason
[13:12] <socr> how does mutt know where to send e-mail ? I did not tell teh machine the URL of the mail servers, nor ID/PW ?
[13:13] <keri> i just installed Samba for my xubuntu, and used pyNeighborhood to browse shares.  on my windows xp box, i tried to drag and drop the files over to the xubuntu share setup, and it said access denied , so i tried to pull them over from xubuntu and it said Failed to mount.  what am i doing wrong. ive done this before. please help.

[13:13] <cdc> Slart: where can I see a list of ubottu commands?
[13:13] <Slart> socr: it might be just sending it to the local mta
[13:13] <ouellettesr> but i dont think anything has installed yet
[13:13] <ouellettesr> brb
[13:13] <ikonia> keri: well the mount problem means you ubuntu box can't mount the share it wants, the permissions error will most likley be down to file system permissions
[13:14] <ikonia> ouellettesr: probably has it if wants a reboot
[13:14] <Slart> cdc: try !factoid
[13:14] <cdc> !factoid

[13:16] <rd__> if i minimize any application windows, the application disapear, this is happened to me this day after i made last update, any one has same problem?
[13:16] <keri> if everyone full control on the share is set  , why do i need a username anyway/?
[13:16] <ikonia> keri: yes
[13:16] <ikonia> keri: because a user needs to connect

[13:17] <James|gnome> It doesnt work :-P
[13:17] <keri> fahh whaaobout the fact that i dont have any thing installed to allow the ability for xubuntu to mount ntfs partitions?
[13:17] <ikonia> keri: what ???

[13:18] <keri> ikonia, it has to deal with both right?  if xubuntu is having problems saying 'fail to mount my xp shares, thats probably why?
[13:18] <ikonia> tetraedr: mp3 players are music players,
[13:18] <ikonia> keri: xp shares are handled through samba
[13:18] <tetraedr> ikonia, mp3 player that can authorize on stream server
[13:19] <ikonia> oh
[13:19] <keri> ikonia ok
[13:19] <keri> so i somehow have to figure out how to connect from winxp as a user.
[13:20] <ikonia> keri: when you mount the share on XP it takes the default username your using, or you can specifcy another user the the "connect as" gui
[13:20] <mohamed> hi guys i have a small problem in my loginscreen it looks very big but my os screen is correct
[13:20] <mohamed> how to change my login screen resolution to 1024*780
[13:20] <selocol> hello after doing a apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and restarting my comp, nautilus no longer opens text files with gedit. i can't even, in properties, of the file, specify which application to open it with? any help please? thanks
[13:21] <keri> ikonia, it wont let me mount any shares though just browse them.
[13:21] <manoff> do you know any linux tool that allows me to edit Windows registry of Windows partition that is mounted into my linux?
[13:21] <cdc> keri: I connect to my Win XP/Srv2008/Srv2000 shares fine with hardy. I went to Places -> Connect to Server -> filled in the information
[13:22] <keri> ikonia, thats why i thought maybie since i dont have a way to even know how to read ntfs partitions, thats why it fails to mount any of my smb shares
[13:22] <selocol> it seems like after the upgrade, a lot of file types are not recognized as text files anymore. i get "Couldn't display $pathtofile" .. There is no app installed for this file type. is this the intended upgrade of gedit? thanks
[13:22] <ikonia> keri: nah
[13:22] <keri> cdc im running xubuntu not ubuntu so i dont have that grand feature
[13:23] <tetraedr> people I need some media player with stream support (authorization support required) and to be simple (no daemons, mysql databases other crap)
[13:23] <tetraedr> any ideas?
[13:23] <cdc> keri: gotcha, one thing I have noticed is that when i do connect sometimes it says unable to mount but i double click on the shortcut on the desktop and it actually mounts it.
[13:23] <Slart> selocol: didn't happen to me.. you updated just now?
[13:23] <AaronH> keri, you can install openssh-server on your kubuntu and use winscp on winxp to transfer files
[13:23] <BoltClock> hi, i am currently using ubuntu hardy, is there a way i could upgrade my firefox 3b5 to the release candidate without waiting for an update?
[13:23] <Slart> selocol: is gedit still installed?
[13:24] <selocol> Slart: yes it opens "config" for example but not "config~" or "red.theme"
[13:24] <selocol> Slart: all of which gedit used to open perfectly
[13:24] <keri> Thanks for all the ideas but all i want is my samba to work right.  i never had this much problems ever before.  it must be because xubuntu is so shaved down..
[13:24] <user01> how do i install broadcom netxtreme bcm5702x?
[13:24] <ZeroA4> BoltClock, i think you can manual install firefox but doing so you will break the package management
[13:24] <BoltClock> ZeroA4: yeah, thats why im having trouble
[13:24] <user01> for wireless?
[13:26] <drash> selocol: can't explain what happened, but you might be able to manually correct things in /etc/gnome/defaults.list if you know the mimetypes you want opened in gedit
[13:26] <selocol> drash: should i try reinstalling gedit?
[13:26] <Slart> selocol: take a look a drash's suggestion.. something probably got updated and overwritten
[13:27] <selocol> Slart: ok thanks
[13:27] <drash> selocol: can't guarantee that will do anything to resolve things, take a look at that list first perhaps, it's not a long one
[13:27] <ommya> is it possible  switching php5 to php4 and vice versa

[13:28] <peace-keeper> why don't i have a /etc/resolv.conf
[13:28] <BoltClock> hi, i am currently using ubuntu hardy, is there a way i could upgrade my firefox 3b5 to the release candidate without waiting for an update or taking it out of the package manager?
[13:28] <keri> xampp has a switch shortcut that accomplishes that
[13:28] <jrib> BoltClock: why are you avoiding the package manager?
[13:29] <TD> does anybody know how to make bash use a non space character for shell globbing?
[13:29] <^Daniel>  Is there a way to get only a part of a file on web with wget or curl?
[13:29] <ommya> keri:Cant it be done without xampp I mean with normal installation
[13:29] <AaronH> TD, /j #bash
[13:29] <BoltClock> jrib: wait, um, i think it seems i have to wait for the package manager to make ready the rc before i can upgrade. my intention is to continue using the package manager
[13:30] <ikonia> ^Daniel: ctrl+C when your doing

[13:32] <aguitel> anyone use GUI Grub editor ?
[13:32] <drash> BoltClock, check your 'software sources' settings and make sure your 'updates' tab has the 'hardy-proposed' updates ticked .. from then on you should be good to go via the regular package manager update routine
[13:33] <BoltClock> drash: proposed?
[13:33] <ommya> Is there anybody who can help me ?
[13:33] <ikonia> ommya: what's up
[13:33] <peace-keeper> don't know..
[13:33] <AaronH> blackfox-san, go to "about:plugins" in the address bar  in your firefox and make sure you have flashplayer and java installed

[13:34] <blackfox-san> but cant play
[13:34] <BoltClock> drash: done. is this set of updates safe enough?
[13:34] <AaronH> blackfox-san, did you check "about:plugins" to make sure they installed correctly?
[13:34] <drash> BoltClock: yes, that's pre-releases, ubuntu checks there for firefox rc update, so you need that ticked

[13:36] <AaronH> peace-keeper, what is the essid of your router?

[14:04] <sirlark> I've also checked /lib/modules/linux-2.6.24-17-generic, and vboxdrv.ko exists (I've booted into -17-generic, because adept indicates the package doesn't exists for -18-generic)

[14:08] <dvs> ok, how do i list the installed kernels
[14:08] <dvs> i should really write this stuff down
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> peace-keeper: to save you doing it again, if you backup /etc/network/interfaces you can drop it in again if you need to reinstall
[14:08] <Brady-Enterprize> was that for a printer. Because i print wireless. Just not scan over wireless
[14:08] <peace-keeper> no i had to download some tool called b43-fwcutter and extract a few files
[14:08] <peace-keeper> to do something with firmware, i don't really understand it
[14:09] <fen[a]> dvs: ls /boot/initrd*

[14:10] <fen[a]> [newb]Miki: it appears to be a bug

[14:10] <peace-keeper> well that's one way of seeing it :)
[14:10] <thompa> problem here, dvd drive on tosh laptop running way too loud
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> peace-keeper: windows kinda keeps it all top secret so the actual workings of the system are abstracted
[14:10] <[newb]Miki> FenA its an really old card
[14:10] <laeg> why does ubuntu ship with pulseaudio when alsa already has dmix?
[14:10] <frantz46> it is to use compiz
[14:11] <[newb]Miki> its an ATI radeaon 7500 mobility
[14:11] <fen[a]> [newb]Miki: you definately have hardware compatible with proprietory drivers, and that dialog should provide you with the option of installing those.
[14:11] <peace-keeper> that's like "only until you cut yourself with a knife do you really know how to eat"
[14:11] <frantz46> yes
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> oh no not more compiz :(
[14:11] <fen[a]> [newb]Miki: ok, open a termninal window and prepare to get your hands dirty :)
[14:11] <peace-keeper> don't get me wrong, i'm glad it works now and i'm happy i have ubuntu instead of win on that notebook :)
[14:11] <[newb]Miki> woot ;)
[14:11] <[newb]Miki> okey :)
[14:12] <[newb]Miki> (its open) :)
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> peace-keeper: its a little boost when something works :)
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> a little inner "yay" crys out
[14:12] <erUSUL> laeg: do not do in kernel what can be done in userspace is an ols unix moto ;P
[14:12] <fen[a]> i'll pm you miki
[14:12] <[newb]Miki> okey
[14:13] <laeg> erUSUL: but didn't esd dry up because nobody wanted it?
[14:13] <Brady-Enterprize> Does anyone know how to scan with xsane Image scanner across a wireless network with a multi function printer. The Printer allready prints across wireless
[14:14] <laeg> erUSUL: point being if nobody wanted esd why replace it with pulseaudio which doesn't even work correctly
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> Brady-Enterprize: you are in luck http://www.swscanner.org/en

[14:14] <romulo> hello, do i need any special package to write on samba shares using nautilus?
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> !swscanner | Brady-Enterprize
[14:15] <drazel> Hello everyone
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> Simple Wireless Scanner (SWScanner) is an application for Linux environments designed for scanning, configuring, and (in general) managing wireless networks. SWScanner is also a powerfull wardriving tool, and has a high level of compatibility with NetStumbler, a similar and well-known application designed for other operating system
[14:15] <erUSUL> laeg: it works for me quite fine (esd worked too as did dmix) (your) anecdotal evidence is not evidence at all ;)
[14:15] <drazel> I am having a problem while executing apt-get update on ubuntu6.
[14:15] <drazel> 6.10
[14:15] <drazel> edgy directories are missing
[14:15] <Soopa> hey all, I'm trying to install Ubuntu to my notebook, but the cd-rom doesn't work and I can't boot from USB on it.. any suggestions?
[14:15] <drazel> is it normal ?
[14:16] <Soopa> and I'm too much of a noob to try a network installation...
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> Soopa: sounds like a really damaged lappy, you coud take the hard drive out and install in another system using an adapter, then put the drive back into the laptop and boot
[14:16] <SliMM_> i have a CD written with APT on CD, but I cannot restore the cache
[14:16] <SliMM_> why?
[14:17] <frantz46> good bye
[14:17] <Soopa> ActionParsnip: will that really work?
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> Soopa: absolutely, it will simply detect the new hardware
[14:17] <Soopa> ActionParsnip: okay, I might have to do that
[14:17] <Soopa> thanks
[14:18] <drash> drazel: the needed/wanted edgy repositories are in the list of your software sources ?
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> Soopa: np, research your lappy and how to take it out and be gentle
[14:18] <laeg> erUSUL: it doesn't work with wine and skype etc which they acknoledge
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> Soopa: you can get laptop ATA to PATA converters for very cheap
[14:18] <sirlark> ActionParsnip: 'sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-2.6.24-17-generic' reports the package as already installed, vboxdrv.ko exists, but modprobe claims it cannot find the module
[14:19] <laeg> erUSUL: the reason it doesn't work with wine is because pulse doesn't recognise assumptions which are defined by the alsa interface standard
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> sirlark: did you read the post I gave you?
[14:19] <sirlark> is there a module path or something similar I need to set, since I'm not booted into the latest available kernel
[14:19] <smileypaul> Anyone good with Samba?
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> sirlark: try sudo modprobe
[14:19] <hdevalence> My sound is not working either with or without X
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> !samba | smileypaul
[14:19] <backslash7> !test ¦ backslash7
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> hdevalence: can you provide the output of lspci please
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> !paste hdevalence
[14:20] <backslash7> !sorry ¦ backslash7
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> !paste | hdevalence
[14:20] <sirlark> ActionParsnip: I did read both posts, and I'm su'ed (I set a passwd for root, cause I knew I'd be doing a buch of stuff as root, I get sick of sudo quickly)
[14:20] <sirlark> ;)
[14:20] <manoff> how do i change keyboard layout from CLI?
[14:20] <smileypaul> Problem : 4 users accessing one share .. all users are in primary group "design"
[14:20] <backslash7> !wins ¦ backslash7
[14:20] <backslash7> lol you're really not
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> sirlark: just dont run web browsers etc as su
[14:20] <philsf> what's the difference between nvidia-glx-new and nvidia-glx-new-envy? the package descriptions don't help
[14:20] <smileypaul> when mounting this share through ubuntu, it mounts as the proper UID, but the GID is obviously 1004 (or some number)
[14:20] <manoff> how do i change keyboard layout from CLI?
[14:20] <smileypaul> and since the permissions are 770
[14:20] <erUSUL> laeg: skype has problems with alsa too for some time it is just a badly written program imho. as of wine.. id o not use it
[14:20] <smileypaul> no one can write in that folder.
[14:21] <smileypaul> how do i mount it so i am part of the design group?
[14:21] <erUSUL> manoff: for Xserver or for VT ?
[14:21] <drash> laeg: in the mean time things have moved on, there are workable solutions for a large array of sound apps by now, including wine, skype and flash .. you have the freedom of choice, not a bad thing i'd say
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> sudo mount /dev/whatever /path/to/mount/point
[14:21] <sirlark> ActionParsnip: no worries, I'm ssh'd in to her machine (I'm a gentoo-ist remember, I've learnt the lesson of being root for too many things ... twice ... ... well maybe more than than twice ;)
[14:21] <Brady-Enterprize> ActionParsnip: Cool App but not what i am looking for
[14:21] <manoff> erUSUL: VT
[14:21] <Brady-Enterprize> I can Print documents over my wireless network to a hp Multi Function Printer with no problem. BUT I CANT Scan documents over my Wireless Network (Only via USB)
[14:21] <laeg> drash: esd for wine is not a solution because it only supports a few programs and as such there is no solution.
[14:22] <laeg> drash: even without using wine or skype the sound server often crashes completely which is documented
[14:23] <hdevalence> ActionParsnip: http://rafb.net/p/FMvE5i26.html
[14:23] <erUSUL> manoff: man loadkeys
[14:23] <laeg> erUSUL: you're not using wine doesn't mean it pulseaudio works witt it :)

[14:23] <Pyth> I'm experiencing some problems with Virtual Box after the last kernel update.
[14:23] <eskatos> is there a way to prevent networkmanager from touching my /etc/resolv.conf ?
[14:24] <Pyth> It's telling me that it couldn't load the kernel module, and it doesn't exist at /dev/vboxdrv
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> Pyth: tried a reinstall?
[14:24] <erUSUL> laeg: i meant to say that becouse i do not use wine i can not comment on its behavior with pulseaudio
[14:24] <Pyth> ActionParsnip: Not at all, will try.
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> Pyth: sirlark has that too
[14:24] <jrib> Pyth: did you install virtual-box-modules for your kernel_
[14:24] <Pyth> jrib: Yes.  As I said, this happened after a kernel update.
[14:24] <Pyth> Let me just try a reinstall procedure.
[14:25] <jrib> Pyth: that doesn't answer my question
[14:25] <Pyth> jrib: I assumed the "Yes" part would.
[14:25] <jrib> Pyth: k
[14:26] <sirlark> Pyth, jrib, ActionParsnip: It seems there is no virtualbox-modules for the latest kernel,
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> its kinda nice when 2 guys have the same issue
[14:26] <geek_girl> how do I switch off server notices in Kopete? everytime I join a channel using Kopete, I am flooded with so many join/away/part messages that I can't actually use kopete. I've tried configuring "Notifications", with no luck (and no-one in the #kopete channel seems to know)
[14:26] <Pyth> jrib: In that case, I guess, no :-)
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> geek_girl: like <some dude> leaves the room etc
[14:27] <geek_girl> /pm sirlark hi
[14:27] <geek_girl> doh...
[14:27] <jrib> Pyth: what kernel are you running?
[14:27] <nathan406> Hello!
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> !hi | nathan406
[14:28] <nathan406> I need help installing my wireless cardbus
[14:28] <Kryptt_> Whats the best way to install steam?
[14:28] <jrib> !appdb > Kryptt_ (read the private message from ubottu)
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> Kryptt_: id use wine
[14:28] <Kartagis> rakr
[14:29] <manoff> do you know can i specify keyboard layout at boot time when booting with lilo?
[14:29] <manoff> from lilo prompt
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> nathan406: can we have the output of lspci and lsusb please
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> !paste | nathan406
[14:29] <atle||f> Kryptt_: you could also try wine/doors
[14:29] <philsf> has anyone had problems with the security kernel upgrade with nvidia restricted driver? I'm having a version mismatch
[14:29] <chronographer>  hi again, I know its not really your thing, but anyone got a good way of using tvout with ati using fglrx (with compiz of course) to play a movie on tv without it being on monitor too?
[14:29] <atle||f> wine-doors
[14:29] <Kryptt_> What about PlayOnLinux?
[14:30] <jrib> Kryptt_: wine works great...
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> cedega if you dont mind paying a little (i used it once, was cool)
[14:30] <atle||f> Kryptt_: http://www.wine-doors.org/wordpress/
[14:30] <Pyth> jrib: 2.6.24-18-generic
[14:30] <sirlark> pyth, jrib, ActionParsnip: the weird thing is, having rebooted into -17, and whilst the vboxdrv.ko exists (in /lib/modules/linux-2.6.24-17-generic, but not in -18-generic), modprobe claims it can't find the module
[14:31] <jrib> Pyth: ah, that update hasn't even hit my mirror yet
[14:31] <nathan406> Thanks!
[14:31] <ale__> buongiorno
[14:31] <sirlark> ActionParsnip: geek_girl says yes (kopete crashed on her, and she's in the same room)
[14:32] <sirlark> physically
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> tell her to leave and rejoin. I cant see her in the room
[14:32] <atle||f> !it > ale_?
[14:32] <atle||f> !it > ale__
[14:32] <ale__> i'm italian!
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> !it | ale__
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> sirlark: or have her pm me
[14:34] <laeg> erUSUL: i can comment on its behaviour in wine as can everyone in #winehq.
[14:34] <sirlark> ActionParsnip: she has just installed pidgin
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> sirlark: good choice
[14:35] <peace-keeper> why doesn't eclipse have the orange ubuntu icon in the package manager ?
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> peace-keeper: whats it got instead?
[14:36] <Soopa> ActionParsnip: okay, I managed to boot from a livecd (though I know installation doesn't work from the CD due to the messed up cd-rom)
[14:36] <Soopa> now, I have a USB stick with ubuntu on it.. can I try installing from that?
[14:36] <sirlark> ActionParsnip: but in fact the messages were about people's statuses being set to away, e.g. she'd join #ubuntu and be flooded with literally 100's of 'away messages'
[14:36] <peace-keeper> no icon
[14:36] <drash> peace-keeper: only the officially supported packages get those i believe
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> Soopa: if your system supports usb booting then yes
[14:37] <tezem> Is there a way to get 3D games like tremulous, quake3,... working with compiz?
[14:37] <Soopa> it doesn't :(
[14:37] <nathan406> ActionParsnip & ubottu, I paste it at [http://paste.ubuntu.com/16876/]
[14:39] <g33k_gir1> wow, pidgin is so much nicer than kopete!
[14:39] <g33k_gir1> its got, like, colours and stuff
[14:39] <hdevalence> g33k_gir1: KDE4 kopete is nice....
[14:40] <nathan406> ActionParsnip & ubottu, I paste it at [http://paste.ubuntu.com/16876/]
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> g33k_gir1: in pidgin, yeah its nice and a clean interface
[14:40] <dbmoodb> hi ah have been experiencing problems setting up / helping others with ubuntu and touchpads ... there is a problem on hardy / any thing.. like that where it doesn't configure alps touchpads properly or where there is a touchpad and a thumb thing ....
[14:40] <dbmoodb> anyone else experience this and has a fix ...
[14:40] <TheOV> can i change my uid?
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> nathan406: use pastebin for the command outputs, not conversation
[14:40] <fen[a]> ActionParsnip: yeah pidgin is great, pity about the people that lead the project
[14:41] <Jakoo> hello, just had the updates for ubuntu hardy, then when i go to change screen on desktop through preferences it is crap the way i can select a dofferent background, like i have to click 40 times to select a background, or with the arrows it is possible even if it wont jump random on some. any idea how to fix this?
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> nathan406: paste in the pastebin the outputs of lspci and lsusb
[14:41] <jrib> TheOV: yes see 'man usermod'
[14:41] <kryl99> q
[14:41] <TheOV> thx jrib
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> fen[a]: i dont concern myself with that. ALl I see is the app
[14:41] <dbmoodb> TheOV: why do you want too ..?
[14:42] <FSHero> Hello, I installed Kubuntu 8.04 on a partition but now I want to move the installation to another partition. :P
[14:42] <miickee> Anyone reckon 8600GT 256MB GDDR3 PCIE video card will run well in ubuntu for games, considering compatibility issues with drivers etc?
[14:42] <FSHero> I read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=354095
[14:42] <Bom> having problems with games, alien arena(very slow to respond) and open arena(wont start at all) any ideas for resolutions?
[14:42] <dbmoodb> FSHero:  back up the data first
[14:42] <fen[a]> ActionParsnip: have you got 8.04? have you wondered about the whole not being able to resize the input window?
[14:42] <dbmoodb> fen[a]: that is on the new pidgin not just in ubuntu hardy
[14:42] <FSHero> Therefore is it okay to use Knoppix 5.3.1 to just 'copy' the data on the partition to the other partition, then boot using the GRUB command line?
[14:43] <dbmoodb> there is a fork --- funpidgin
[14:43] <fen[a]> yeah
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> fen[a]: no plus I run fluxbuntu and I can resize it fine
[14:43] <dbmoodb> FSHero: done something like that before ?
[14:43] <arpreply> what is the name of the 'resizable input window' fork of pidgin going to be?
[14:43] <fen[a]> dbmoodb: yeah i have funpidgin
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> miickee: nvidia has the better support of the 2 main card companys, go get ne
[14:43] <dbmoodb> FSHero: first back up the data then try to do that
[14:43] <FSHero> dbmoodb: I have not done this before, now.
[14:43] <sirlark> Pyth: any luck on getting virtualbox running on your sidE?
[14:43] <fat_rat> g33k_girl: i thought geeks are using irc in emacs or at least bitchx ;]
[14:43] <miickee> ActionParsnip: Ok, just wondering if you knew what the performance of that card is like.
[14:44] <dbmoodb> FSHero: if it too hard just copy the configuration files under /etc/ and the data in your /home/YOURNAME to elsewhere and move the config files from etc back and the files from under your home back after....
[14:44] <Pyth> sirlark: Can't say so, no.  I'm trying to see if there's a kernel module that I could compile from source.
[14:44] <ActionParsnip> miickee: yeah its a sweet card
[14:44] <g33k_gir1> fat_rat: hey, at least I'm using linux!
[14:44] <g33k_gir1> fat_rat: ;)
[14:44] <FSHero> dbmoodb: I have no data of value -- it's just that I installed a lot of programs that I don't want to have to re-install if I were to do a 'fresh' install from CD
[14:44] <Pyth> sirlark: I'm not really sure where to look.
[14:44] <ActionParsnip> g33k_gir1: if you add some ignores you wont get so hasstled
[14:44] <blumm> hi
[14:44] <ihateu> hi, how to check my bios?
[14:44] <miickee> ActionParsnip: Cause I'm looking at getting 2GB of DDR2 ram, an amd socket am2 dual core 5200+ with it, wondering if that will play new games alright.
[14:44] <g33k_gir1> fat_rat: also, I'm a geek, not a nerd
[14:45] <dbmoodb> then copy /var/cache/apt...?
[14:45] <fat_rat> g33k_girl: ofcourse sorry my bad...
[14:45] <ActionParsnip> g33k_gir1: check your PMs
[14:45] <ihateu> i got very classic laptop
[14:45] <miickee> ActionParsnip: COnsidering my 5200 can't even play nfsmw in cedega.
[14:45] <blumm> is it possible to fxp with bookmarks instead of full ftp-paths within lftp ?
[14:45] <dbmoodb> FSHero: if you have the bandwidth it doesn't really matter
[14:45] <sirlark> Pyth, I'm going to try creating a link from one kernel's module tree to the other, I'll let you know how it goes
[14:45] <arpreply> no wonder women use gender neutral names on irc...
[14:45] <FSHero> dmoodb: I also had to compile rt2570 drivers -- twice so far, for each kernel update version!!
[14:45] <FSHero> dbmoodb: I don't really want to do this.
[14:46] <TheOV> dbmoodb: my user somehow got uid 501, and gdm (and the ubuntu user administration) wouldn't recognize it
[14:46] <skillet_> its funny when a "girl" comes into a linux channel "she" gets bombarded with comments PMs
[14:46] <Kartagis> what's the way to install a .deb?
[14:46] <arpreply> lame
[14:46] <TheOV> dbmoodb: (i mean the user i made with the ubuntu installer)
[14:46] <Pyth> sirlark: Good idea.
[14:46] <dbmoodb> FSHero: that shouldn't happen .... have you been using module-assistant ---- Kartagis sudo dpkg -i
[14:46] <FSHero> dbmoodb: You see, I installed Fedora 9 in a partition near the end of my hard drive, then I installed Kubuntu 8.04 'behind' it (further from the end). So I want to replace F9 with Kubuntu and re-install F9.
[14:47] <g33k_gir1> you know, I actually find having a feminine nick serves me well on IRC
[14:47] <Kartagis> thanks dbarnett
