[00:03] <foxho2> Does firefox have ftp support by default?
[00:03] <billybigrigger> hello all
[00:03] <kfjatuch> # join polska
[00:03] <ben__> hi
[00:03] <billybigrigger> is there a way to monitor vsftpd connections/xfers sort of the same way top does?
[00:03] <billybigrigger> via cl i mean
[00:03] <julian__> basically it seems that video barely functions on this fresh hardy install. mplayer plays the first two frames while totem plays them at 4 frames a second. moreso, mp3's don't play at all, with no console output that's meaningful, using mplayer or 'play' from sox.
[00:03] <Flipi> foxho2: Yeh, it does it like a directory view
[00:03] <julian__> any ideas?
[00:04] <tphilosopher> Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone could explain a use case for triggers in APT.
[00:04] <tphilosopher> Sorry, tell me a use case.
[00:04] <foxho2> Flipi: mine doesn't seem to be working.  It created the first part of the FTP but not the folder structure.  So all I get is Up one dir...No files
[00:05] <julian__> tphilosopher: i've used Debian for about 10 years as my sole operating system and have never used them..
[00:05] <julian__> tphilosopher: pinning however, yes. often.
[00:05] <student> anybody know of a way to give the nm-applet access to the keyring so it can connect to open wifi without asking me for a password?
[00:05] <Flipi> foxho2: Download an FTP client?
[00:06] <tphilosopher> julian__: So they're ultimately useless?
[00:06] <richiefrich> foxho2: yafc
[00:06] <gaintsura> when I run aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf I get the following: aticonfig: Writing to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' failed. Bad file descriptor. <- what does that mean?
[00:06] <julian__> foxho2: try gftp or better, use scp -r and be done with ftp
[00:06] <richiefrich> it is command line but has bash support <- foxho2
[00:06] <billybigrigger> is anyone aware of any way to monitor vsftpd file xfers and connections via a command line?
[00:06] <tphilosopher> julian__: Thanks.
[00:06] <richiefrich> foxho2: and way better then ftp
[00:07] <julian__> tphilosopher: all i can say is that i've lived with many Debian systems and have never 'needed' to use triggers.
[00:07] <richiefrich> billybigrigger: yeah
[00:07] <richiefrich> billybigrigger: i do it -> tail -f $LOG
[00:07] <FamedLoser> Hi all. I need help - my touchpad on my laptop does not work at all, I have to use a USB mouse. All the stuff is in my xorg.conf, and I even added the line "Load" "synaptics" to the module section but no dice :(
[00:07] <richiefrich> FamedLoser: then it is wrong
[00:07] <julian__> foxho2: eg to securely copy a remote directory to your local system: 'scp -r you@remotesite:/path/to/some/folder .'
[00:08] <richiefrich> FamedLoser: what is your touchpad?
[00:08] <richiefrich> FamedLoser: or what is your laptop
[00:08] <johnny_> johnny, stop taking my nick
[00:08] <richiefrich> foxho2: or you can use rsync
[00:08] <johnny_> bye bye now..
[00:08] <legend2440> gaintsura:   try      sudo aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:08] <RockerMONO>
[00:08] <richiefrich> johnny_: if it is yours ghost it
[00:08] <julian__> foxho2: alternatively, to securely copy a local directory to a remote site: 'scp -r /path/to/some/local/folder you@remotesite:/path/to/some/remote/folder'
[00:09] <FamedLoser> richiefrich - the laptop is an Evesham Voyager (or thereabouts) and it's a Synaptics thing. At least, that's what windows calls it, and that's what the Hardy installer detected it as
[00:09] <gaintsura> legend2440: thats what I did
[00:09] <johnny_> i did.. but he consistantly takes it after knowing
[00:09] <johnny_> same person
[00:09] <richiefrich> johnny_: then you didnt ghost it
[00:09] <richiefrich> johnny_: ass security to the nick !
[00:09] <FamedLoser> richiefrich: the Hardy installer put all the stuff in the Xorg.conf, all I added was the "SHMConfig" "on" as i've read on the web, and also loaded the synaptics module
[00:09] <FamedLoser> other than that, it's all as Hardy put it but it's never worked
[00:10] <gaintsura> legend2440: hah, nvm, I missed sudo
[00:10] <gaintsura> legend2440: do I have to log out and back in to get that to work fully?
[00:11] <Stormx2> gaintsura: Might have to restart X, or if you prefer, restart your computer
[00:11] <legend2440> gaintsura: ctrl+alt+backspace will restart gdm
[00:12] <FamedLoser> richiefrich: any more ideas?
[00:12] <gaintsura> Stormx2, legend2440: from what I've noticed, ctrl+alt+backspace, is the same thing as logging out
[00:12] <legend2440> yes
[00:12] <gaintsura> ok, just checking
[00:12] <richiefrich> FamedLoser: what model number laptop
[00:12] <FamedLoser> richiefrich: would it help if I pasted my xorg.conf?
[00:12] <gaintsura> brb
[00:12] <richiefrich> C510 ? C55 ?
[00:12] <richiefrich> C510 ? C550 ?
[00:12] <Dr_willis> Technically ALt-ctrl-backspace ' FORCES' X to shutdown. gdm then restarts X. its not the 'same' as logging out. :) technically
[00:12] <richiefrich> C720 ?
[00:13] <richiefrich> FamedLoser: the model number please
[00:13] <julian__> Dr_willis: hehe far from it in fact.
[00:13] <FamedLoser> richiefrich: it doesn't exist. It's difficult to explain. It was purchased through the HCI scheme at my wife's work, so they only manufactured this model for the government subsidy thing
[00:13] <student> is octave with octaviz a good replacement/dropin for matlab?
[00:13] <legend2440> Dr_willis: ok ty
[00:13] <FamedLoser> 8317
[00:13] <FamedLoser> richiefrich: sorry, model number printed on bottom is 8317. don't be so impatient had to tip laptop up :p
[00:14] <julian__> student: i've never used it but a couple of friends, one of them a scientist, raves about octave and octaviz.
[00:14] <ben__> bye
[00:14] <Flipi> Am I asking a really silly question about this Initramfs error during installation or does no one know about it?
[00:14] <richiefrich> FamedLoser: im not, you said you didnt know.. i know it was on the bottom
[00:14] <FamedLoser> richiefrich: it was a joke hence the :p you asked twice in short succession :p
[00:14] <Traven> anyone have any ideas on how make powermizer scale correctly on a geforce 6 series laptop ?   People usually complain about it not scaling up, I have the other problem which is not scaling down
[00:15] <Dr_willis> Flipi,  i would say check/search  the forums -   often 'hard' probelems are better helped there. or have been asked befor - so the answer is allready there.
[00:15] <Traven> eats battery+ turns my hp into an egg cooker
[00:15] <FamedLoser> richiefrich: when I said I didn't know i meant i didnt know the model name, sorry. It looks the same as a Voyager A610, but since evensham have folded it's more difficult to get detgails
[00:16] <gaintsura> legend2440: ok, so that went about as I expected... however it didn't fix my previous problem I was working on (before the aticonfig question), direct rendering: no in glxinfo, and ATI Catalyst does not work, says 'Either no ATI driver installed, or ATI driver is not configured properly' I've tried using envy, I've tried using amdcccle, I've even tried the setup without downloading and using eihter, and getting fglrx straight from synap
[00:16] <gaintsura> tics and configuring it by hand
[00:16] <Flipi> Thanks for answering Dr_willis

[00:17] <emma> If a friend rips a blueray of a movie, so that it's now downloadable, is it possible to play it in Ubuntu?
[00:17] <student> julian__: thanks

[00:17] <legend2440> gaintsura: is ati enabled in system>admin>hardware driver
[00:17] <alukarde123ips> hello
[00:17] <Traven> Emma if you have enough power to play it yes
[00:17] <alukarde123ips> cool
[00:17] <emma> What do you mean by 'power' ?
[00:17] <Traven> blue ray without gpu accelration and offloading takes alot of processing muscle
[00:17] <alukarde123ips> what is the discution
[00:17] <emma> I see.
[00:17] <student> can somebody walk me through changing the default keyring password?
[00:18] <alukarde123ips> I'am in PARIS
[00:18] <gaintsura> legend2440: .. erm no, it was not, its now downloading something.. I'd like to know how that happened, it was enabled before
[00:18] <emma> Traven: same issue with HD stuff?
[00:18] <plutowasaplanet> hi, could someone recommend a ubuntu release that an IBM T600E with 128MB RAM and 10 GB HDD could handle?

[00:18] <FamedLoser> ok hold on
[00:18] <debCarlos> gaintsura: is fgrlx enabled in xorg.conf ?
[00:18] <gaintsura> yes
[00:18] <Zoohouse> Hello everyone. I have a quick question. Can I have multiple video links open with Ekiga? I want to have a video conference between multiple departments and I want each department to be able to see each other.I tried to ask at #Ekiga but no one is active at the moment. Anyone knows? The Ekiga's website isn't very clear about multiple video feeds.
[00:18] <alukarde123ips> finder !!!
[00:18] <emma> Trave, i was watching an HD video I downloaded and I did notice that at times the audio was getting ahead of the video.
[00:19] <alukarde123ips> do you speak french ?
[00:19] <gaintsura> debCarlos: I manually input that, along with the options for compiz to function with the driver properly (I cannot seem to find that site again currently)
[00:19] <Traven> what video @ what resolution an whats the pc you are on ?

[00:20] <xintron> I need a lightwieght image viewer (with some easy functions, like rotate and slideshow, although, slideshow not needed), suggestions?
[00:20] <student> can somebody walk me through changing the default keyring password?

[00:20] <FamedLoser> xintron: is f-spot to heavyweight for you?
[00:20] <debCarlos> jlc: kill -9 process_pid
[00:20] <richiefrich> FamedLoser: i have an eaiser suggestion...  download the http://software.opensuse.org/ and boot it, it has better detect tools
[00:21] <xintron> FamedLoser: maybe not :)
[00:21] <alukarde123ips> liZA :!!!
[00:21] <richiefrich> FamedLoser: ok ill look
[00:21] <alukarde123ips> ZOE
[00:21] <Traven> opensuse worked like garbage on my laptop lol
[00:21] <FamedLoser> richiefrich: you're suggesting I switch to OpenSuse?
[00:21] <alukarde123ips> Amélia
[00:21] <richiefrich> FamedLoser: no
[00:21] <Traven> wireless, video , and touchpad dont ork by default lol
[00:21] <Traven> work *
[00:21] <alukarde123ips> M
[00:21] <jlc> debCarlos, please help me identify the process?
[00:21] <richiefrich> FamedLoser: i said download it and boot the CD
[00:21] <FamedLoser> richiefrich: ok. I'm glad because I just switched FROM OpenSuse
[00:21] <alukarde123ips> end.
[00:21] <richiefrich> FamedLoser: and use that config
[00:21] <richiefrich> FamedLoser: did it work there
[00:21] <FamedLoser> richiefrich: Hardy detected it ok. just won't use it :(
[00:22] <richiefrich> FamedLoser: ?
[00:22] <overlordpuppy> My default date format looks something like this: dd/mm/yy, how can I change it to be mm/dd/yyyy?
[00:22] <richiefrich> FamedLoser: did it work there.. in suse
[00:22] <FamedLoser> richiefrich: yeah the touchpad worked, but other stuff didn't :)
[00:22] <richiefrich> FamedLoser: then you need to boot to it and get that config
[00:22] <richiefrich> FamedLoser: thats easy
[00:22] <FamedLoser> but OpenSuse doesn't do a live cd do they?
[00:22] <richiefrich> they do
[00:22] <richiefrich> i posted a link
[00:22] <jlc> debCarlos, how do I get the process pid?
[00:22] <debCarlos> jlc: ps aux | grep -i update
[00:23] <FamedLoser> yeah i saw - looking now
[00:23] <richiefrich> FamedLoser: it one cd or dvd no biggy
[00:23] <richiefrich> FamedLoser: then you mount your drive and cp the suse on over.. make a backup of yours now incase
[00:23] <richiefrich>   Option    "Protocol"        "auto-dev"
[00:23] <richiefrich> seems wrong
[00:24] <Traven> So noone has an idea on how to get powermizer working properly?
[00:24] <debCarlos> jlc: you know.... i think it's better if you look at system->administration->system monitor, it's easier :)
[00:24] <richiefrich> FamedLoser: but thats my suggestion
[00:24] <FamedLoser> well I won't just copy the file, just in case it screws up glx, but i'll compare the config and try to work out what's different - xorg.conf is easy enough to read
[00:24] <richiefrich> FamedLoser: make a backup of it then copy it over
[00:24] <FamedLoser> richiefrich: thinking about it, although I'm not certain, it may have worked on the Hardy installer too. I'll boot the liveCD for that and check
[00:24] <richiefrich> FamedLoser: if it works your good. if not then diff
[00:25] <FamedLoser> richiefrich: diff was my intention :)
[00:25] <richiefrich> FamedLoser: i would only diff if you need to.. i am lazy
[00:25] <jlc> debCarlos, got it, Thanks!
[00:25] <richiefrich> FamedLoser: mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak ; cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /mnt/HDD//etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:25] <richiefrich> heh
[00:26] <FamedLoser> richiefrich: lol. another question - i have the opensuse cd, but not the livecd version, the proper dvd installer - can i not break out of the installer for that to see what xorg.conf it uses?
[00:26] <debCarlos> jlc: no prob :)
[00:26] <richiefrich> sure it is an installer and a liveCD
[00:26] <FamedLoser> richiefrich: thanks, I know how to copy files I administer IRIX servers all day. not that you could know that
[00:26] <FamedLoser> richiefrich: the one I have (OpenSuse 10.2) isn't a liveCD - it's the full install dvd (you don't get a desktop on this one)
[00:27] <FamedLoser> richiefrich: thanks for the help. I'll try them both, be back later
[00:27] <wizzer> how much is the ubuntu server like the desktop?
[00:27] <AlexHopper> -_-
[00:27] <AlexHopper> hey

[00:28] <nalioth> wizzer: it has no GUI
[00:28]  * FamedLoser looks
[00:28] <richiefrich> FamedLoser: but if it worked in suse then the CD has the answer
[00:28] <wizzer> ah

[00:40] <icedevil> hello
[00:40] <_Zeus_> icedevil: hi
[00:40] <_Zeus_> greendot: what's the problem?
[00:40] <greendot> so i have a "buffalo wli-u2-kg54-ai" and i followed instructions to get it working in ubuntu.  i found out it was a usb 1.x problem i had most of the time, so i hooked it up to a 2.0 and it started working great.  however, i moved my computer to the other side of the room where the signal is much better, and now it's not working at all!  the module from the ndiswrapper is identified as "rt2500usb", is there any way to fix this
[00:40] <icedevil> _Zeus_, HI
[00:41] <_Zeus_> greendot: sorry i don't know how to do that; anyone else?
[00:41] <icedevil> i have just install ubuntu my laptop
[00:41] <debCarlos> What ?
[00:41] <greendot> it's so strange that it worked on the other side of the room where the signal is weaker
[00:41] <_Zeus_> icedevil: do you have a problem?
[00:41] <debCarlos> icedevil, great :D
[00:41] <_Zeus_> greendot: i doubt that's the problem
[00:41] <coderipper1983_> Sounds like a hardware issue not a software issue. Have you tried to use it on another computer??
[00:42] <icedevil> but i get some problems when i start up the linux sometimes
[00:42] <greendot> well, the problem i had there was i could get online, then it would drop the signal
[00:42] <icedevil> error
[00:42] <icedevil> is
[00:42] <greendot> i'm using it on the same system right now, but i'm in windows
[00:42] <_Zeus_> icedevil: what kind of errors?

[00:46] <joetheodd> _Zeus_, histo, i'm worried about HD space, and wmaker is my lightweight of choice
[00:46] <histo> joetheodd: ughh are you running just plan X right now with no window manager?
[00:46] <OBM> it's not in the settings
[00:46] <_Zeus_> joetheodd: realize you have no support/updates on 5.10
[00:46] <icedevil> it a sony laptop
[00:46] <histo> joetheodd: okay yeah then I would install a command line system and add wmaker
[00:46] <joetheodd> histo, I'm running Win98 atm, this is gonna be fresh
[00:46] <OBM> not in the conf file either
[00:46] <histo> joetheodd: ahh

[00:47] <debCarlos> OBM, goto #xchat
[00:47] <joetheodd> _Zeus_, ugh true. Can I dist-upgrade to the next version or is that down too? I plan on upgrading, just dont have a better install CD available
[00:47] <cr1> i moved ubuntu from one partition to another using image application, the problem is that it had overwritten superblock. is there a way to fix this, i can't use backup blocks since they are also from old partition... help please
[00:47] <joetheodd> _Zeus_, replace available with handy
[00:47] <_Zeus_> joetheodd: do you have anyidea how much crap you will get dist-upgrading from 5.10 to 8.04?
[00:47] <_Zeus_> just don't
[00:47] <_Zeus_> :-P
[00:48] <gnubie> joetheodd, http://austinlug.org/  check out installing on low memory
[00:48] <joetheodd> _Zeus_, yeah I know, can I step up to 6.04 I think it is?
[00:48] <debCarlos> :P
[00:48] <joetheodd> gnubie, thanks
[00:48] <_Zeus_> joetheodd: it was 6.06.  it was late :-P
[00:48] <icedevil> can anyone help
[00:48] <Alan_M> to the user trying to figure out how to make xchat stop joining here, i have your solution
[00:48] <_Zeus_> joetheodd: i don't see why not, i step-up isn't bad
[00:49] <joetheodd> _Zeus_, are the 6.06 repos still up?
[00:49] <cr1> help anyone?
[00:49] <joetheodd> crl, don't ask to ask
[00:49] <Alan_M> OBM, please click the xchat menu, then go to network list....click ubuntu servers in the "Networks" list....click Edit...under Channels to join..clear the list...
[00:50] <cr1> how to write new superblock on partition?
[00:50] <Alan_M> well that was a wasted buncha characters :/
[00:50] <debCarlos> !ask
[00:50] <dav7> 1327..
[00:50] <DanMan> crl, what error are you getting specifically?  overwritten superblock means your fs is borked, and an image application shouldn't be touching the superblock
[00:50] <graelb> Hi there, is there a way from within ubuntu, to have it rescan the partitions on the hd, and reconfigure grub?
[00:50] <dav7> 1330..
[00:50] <dav7> 1328..
[00:51] <bluefox83> I need help recovering X, foro some reason it wont pick up properly...keeps starting in low graphics mode and such
[00:51] <_Zeus_> graelb: you need a live cd
[00:51] <Pici> dav7: stop
[00:51] <dav7> 1327..
[00:51] <dav7> Pici: I'm counting the users here =P
[00:51] <_Zeus_> !spam | dav7
[00:51] <dav7> ok ok ok I'll stop
[00:51] <Pici> dav7: I know, stop it
[00:51] <bluefox83> !xorg
[00:51] <dav7> hm.
[00:51] <debCarlos> Alan_M, yeah, and you could said to him:: RTFM (read the FINE manual) :D
[00:51] <cr1> DanMan: image applicetion has copied everything including old superblock, that is the problem
[00:51] <debCarlos> *have
[00:51] <Alan_M> !rtfm | debCarlos
[00:51] <nDuff> DanMan, something like partimage will certainly be mucking w/ the superblocks
[00:51] <Alan_M> :)
[00:51] <joetheodd> !Repeat | joetheodd
[00:51] <graelb> _Zeus_: what do i do with it? i have a jumpdrive "live" that'll work just fine, but i don't want to reinstall, i'm getting a bad checksum error, so i don' get to decide if i wanna load windows or 'buntu
[00:52] <_Zeus_> graelb: what says "bad checksum"?
[00:52] <debCarlos> Alan_M, uhh.... didn't know it :)
[00:52] <nDuff> cr1, "mke2fs -S" is very much a last-resort kind of operation
[00:52] <DanMan> crl, are you referring to the master boot record (MBR)? Partimage should just be copying superblocks around, not mucking with it.  What symptoms are you seeing?
[00:53] <nDuff> cr1, I'd be looking at e2salvage first
[00:53] <graelb> _Zeus_, when i boot up the pc, immediately i get a bad checksum error when it's trying to load grub, with a prompt that tells me to press any key, when i do, it boots up ubuntu
[00:53] <cr1> DanMan: i can't boot to ubuntu since it says to manually run fsck, and it says that partition size is different in part table and in superblock so i tried using some other backup superblock but it says wrong magic number, so im kinnda stuck now
[00:53] <bdunlap> is there a way to do fsck while the partition is mounted?
[00:53] <_Zeus_> graelb: hang on for a pastebin
[00:53] <marcules> hi
[00:53] <nDuff> bdunlap, mounted read-only, yes, but you need to reboot immediately afterwards.
[00:54] <bluefox83> !nvidia
[00:54] <bdunlap> nDuff, thank you.
[00:54] <nDuff> bdunlap, ...at least, if any repairs were made.
[00:54] <_Zeus_> graelb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41074/
[00:54] <bdunlap> nDuff, ah, ok thanks :-)
[00:54] <_Zeus_> graelb: will you be able to figure out which partition is your ubuntu root?
[00:55] <seungbeom> 흠
[00:55] <seungbeom> 이상하다
[00:55] <graelb> mmm... i'm not sure
[00:55] <favro> !cn
[00:55] <debCarlos> !이상하다
[00:55] <graelb> i could probably look at the menu.lst
[00:55] <seungbeom> here's not korean channel?
[00:55] <Pici> !ko
[00:55] <seungbeom> sorry, I'm korean
[00:56] <DanMan> crl,  Were the old and new partitions the same size?  Or were you attempting to shrink grow the partition?
[00:56] <debCarlos> no prob..
[00:56] <Alan_M> debCarlos, wow.....just wow...heh
[00:56] <_Zeus_> !offtopic

[00:56] <_Zeus_> meh
[00:57] <graelb> _Zeus_,  my ubuntu is on hd0,3

[00:58] <Alan_M> !es > PorkSod1
[00:58] <graelb> _Zeus_, hmm... no idea
[00:58] <_Zeus_> graelb: why do you think it's (hd0,3)?
[00:58] <debCarlos> PorkSod1, jajaja, ubottu es un bot :)
[00:58] <bdunlap> PorkSod1, no es una persona, es bot
[00:58] <TornadoChas3r> can anyone help me with cacti
[00:58] <TornadoChas3r> Since no on is on the #cacti channel
[00:58] <graelb> I looked in /boot/grub/menu.lst at the different options, and it points to (hd0,3)
[00:58] <Pici> TornadoChas3r: Perhaps try their forums?
[00:58] <TornadoChas3r> kk
[00:58] <graelb> _Zeus_, I looked in /boot/grub/menu.lst at the different options, and it points to (hd0,3)
[00:59] <Alan_M> Guys, can we use english only in this room? thanks :)
[00:59] <root0> howdy. i am trying to understand a security issue and so i'l give more details even if ya allready know them. i'm using sudo instead of loging to root, like we all do, and sometime i'm using the single user mode on boot to fix things. my concern is that everyone that may reach my console may have the same option. reboot and get a root access. using a bios password is not enough, we all know that. encryption is good before you boot. using a live cd one can m
[00:59] <root0> odify the kernels installed and can somehow find the password for the encrypted partitions or do other things. is there any other solution to protect the /boot partition? ya, sure,i do lock the door but i still have windows on this room. :D
[00:59] <histo> !someone | TornadoChas3r
[00:59] <_Zeus_> graelb: ok then 0,3 it is
[00:59] <FamedLoser> richiefrich: http://rafb.net/p/ArbJIV90.html
[00:59] <FamedLoser> richiefrich:  I guess that's the reason it doesn't work - the driver is unloading itself because it can't see the touchpad
[00:59] <graelb> well... i know that the windows one is /dev/sda2
[00:59] <histo> root0: yeah security is kind of pointless if they have physical access to the box.
[00:59] <debCarlos> Can i play frets on fire with a ps3 control ?
[00:59] <_Zeus_> root0: what's wrong with a BIOS pw?
[00:59] <richiefrich> FamedLoser: thats not good
[00:59] <_Zeus_> graelb: yeah that's fine go with (0,3) if that's what grub says now
[01:00] <PorkSod1> I thought I could get a rise back speaking spanish
[01:00] <FamedLoser> richiefrich: no :)
[01:00] <bdunlap> PorkSod1, why would you want that?
[01:00] <richiefrich> FamedLoser: where is that from
[01:00] <graelb> _Zeus_, I still want it set up so it'll dual boot, will it automatically do that, or will i need to write down the other partition too?
[01:00] <root0> _Zeus_, nothing. just use a jumper on a desktop system and is gone.
[01:00] <richiefrich> FamedLoser: mine or opensuse
[01:00] <kevin083> a wile ago i deleted my account and recreated it, and now my display does not go to sleep... it will sleep if i sit at the login (GRM) but not when I am logged in, so do i need to be ain a particular group for that to work?
[01:00] <Alan_M> PorkSod1, please dont try irritating us, it wouldnt be to your benefit :)
[01:00] <histo> root0: what about a grub password
[01:01] <_Zeus_> graelb: you will need to add it back in
[01:01] <graelb> good to know =)
[01:01] <graelb> thank you sir!
[01:01] <root0> histo, use a live cd and is gone.
[01:01] <bdunlap> PorkSod1, if you wanted to get a rise out of us, speaking pig-latin would do the trick, but please do not speak anything but English here.
[01:01] <FamedLoser> richiefrich: no that's mine. mine is almost identical to yours. I'll have to wait until tomorrow to download openSuse livecd
[01:01] <FlyingBishop> Is there a GUI to set a mountpoint for a drive without messing around with fstab? I didn't bother to set a mountpoint for my windows partition when I installed, and it would kind of be nice to have without messing with fstab...
[01:01] <histo> root0: for the protection you are speaking of you would need to encrypt the drive
[01:01] <kevin083> of course i made sure it is set to put the display to sleep in 2 minutes
[01:02] <_Zeus_> root0: i don't think there's a way to lock it down like that
[01:02] <PorkSod1> alan m sorry that was not intended for a public message here
[01:02] <root0> histo, this is what i am concerned. i do encrypt the drives but /boot can't be encrypted...
[01:02] <_Zeus_> !info ntfs-config | FlyingBishop
[01:02] <histo> root0: and the problem is?
[01:02] <Dr_willis> FlyingBishop,  learning how to edit the fstab manually.. is worth learning. :) its not too hard.  there is some gui i think. but i never use it.   Let me see what line i got in my fstab for my windows drive
[01:02] <root0> it can be cracked.
[01:02] <ehtom> root0: what are you trying to protect against?
[01:02] <_Zeus_> /dev/sda1               /win            ntfs            defaults                        0       0
[01:03] <_Zeus_> FlyingBishop: it's very easy
[01:03] <Dr_willis> unl;ess of course he wants read/write access... by everyone.. or some other details
[01:03] <ac3raven> hello?
[01:03] <FamedLoser> richiefrich: thanks anyway
[01:03] <_Zeus_> Dr_willis: ...... he will be able to get r/w by everyone i think
[01:03] <FamedLoser> gtg now
[01:04] <Dr_willis> my fstab entry --> /dev/sda1 /media/vistaboot ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 1
[01:04] <Dr_willis> _Zeus_,  not with 'ntfs' and not with 'defaults' for ntfs ...
[01:04] <_Zeus_> Dr_willis: hmm
[01:04] <ehtom> root0: if you're worried about someone stealing your laptop, why does /boot being encrypted or not matter?
[01:05] <_Zeus_> Dr_willis: you're right it should have "ntfs-3g" and "user"
[01:05] <_Zeus_> and rw i think
[01:05] <dn4> How does one have a background for desktop 1 and another for 2 ?
[01:05] <kuma> what are the minimum specs for ubuntu?
[01:05] <_Zeus_> kums: i think like 256mb ram?
[01:06] <_Zeus_> lemme check
[01:06] <_Zeus_> kuma: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements
[01:06] <ehtom> kuma: you need a fairly modern computer to run it comfortably
[01:06] <kuma> I have 130 mb ram
[01:06] <kuma> p 3
[01:06] <FlyingBishop> Actually, I don't mind using /etc/fstab, but I'm trying to convert my brother
[01:06] <_Zeus_> ehtom: no you don't
[01:07] <_Zeus_> FlyingBishop: you want ntfs-config
[01:07] <kuma> but it hangs at install
[01:07] <root0> i had this system. fully encrypted. very strong passwords. only one persone had a user on it, except myself. it had a restricted user for browsing and stuf like that. i've gone for about a week and when i came back on logs where logins with my user which had root access. no the system was behinf a firewall and no service was available from outside, not even apache which was bind to localhot only. this is one situation that made me think like this. and there
[01:07] <root0>  are many other situations...
[01:07] <IndyGunFreak> kuma: that ilttle ram, you probably need to sue the alt. install disk
[01:07] <_Zeus_> !xubuntu | kuma
[01:07] <kuma> IndyGunFreak: yeah and its really old ram (ibm laptop)
[01:07] <kuma> cant find more
[01:07] <Phantom77> evening
[01:07] <Pici> IndyGunFreak: no, not even that will run ubuntu comfortably.
[01:07] <Pici> kuma: You may want to look into fluxbuntu
[01:07] <Pici> !fluxbuntu
[01:08] <IndyGunFreak> Pici: true.. i didn't really think of it like that.
[01:08] <kuma> Pici: interesting
[01:08] <_Zeus_> i didn't know that
[01:08]  * IndyGunFreak loves flux.
[01:08] <IndyGunFreak> install Ubuntu from the alt. cd, then install Flux and use it.
[01:08] <IndyGunFreak> and kuma i bet you can find that ram on Ebay all day.
[01:08] <hkl> hello
[01:08] <_Zeus_> kuma: make that xubuntu alt cd
[01:08] <_Zeus_> !hi | hkl
[01:09] <ehtom> root0: if you dont mind me asking, what situation are you in?
[01:09] <hkl> =) hi bAck
[01:09] <dn4> Is there a way to have my background in ubuntu to have a .gif and be animateD?
[01:09] <Marco> I use my pc mainly for internet browsing and multimedia. What's better? ubuntu or windows?
[01:09] <_Zeus_> dn4: i'm sure there is...
[01:09] <ehtom> root0: because that sounds like someone knows your password
[01:09] <_Zeus_> Marco: ubuntu!
[01:09] <IndyGunFreak> Xubuntu really isn't much lighter than Gnome nowdays.. it used tobe, now.. i don't see a whole lot of difference.. now Flux.. it freakin flies
[01:09] <ehtom> root0: hardware keylogger maybe?
[01:09] <kuma> I might try fluxubuntu
[01:10] <hkl> is there a disk for fluxbuntu
[01:10] <ehtom> Marco: if multimedia includes games, then windows... else linux
[01:10] <sayers> _max, where all going to say ubuntu :p
[01:10] <_Zeus_> ehtom: good point
[01:10] <hosso> hello all
[01:10] <_Zeus_> Marco: that being games other than solitaire and mines
[01:10] <marcules> Is it possible to block a specific frequencyrange?
[01:10] <koshari> i like flux however i install the gnome dizzy then install the fluxbox metapackage as i had trouble configuring alsa and a host of other services whrn i installed fluxbox on a minimal install.
[01:10] <Marco> thanks
[01:11] <_Zeus_> marcules: what is a frequency range?
[01:11] <hkl> !wine
[01:11] <Dr_willis> hkl,  i think there is.. but last i tried it.. it dident work too well.. but  its been a while
[01:11] <Phantom77> any tips on using ubuntu studio?
[01:11] <bofh80> root0, i think there exists the problem, that most of the time, security, well, isn't really security, not if someone really wants it. u catchin the drift
[01:11] <marcules> pe. 18000-20000Mhz
[01:11] <hkl> o
[01:11] <root0> the one that i just described? noone can know my passwords since it is _very strong_. i think somehow managed to have acceess on the harddrive since the bios password was not reseted. at that moment the root login was disabled as default with no password at all.
[01:11] <dn4> By the Great Beard of _Zeus_ do you know how to use a *.gif as a background image that could be animated?
[01:11] <wizzer> are there still no music players with plugins for last.fm?
[01:11] <hkl> thanks willis
[01:11] <_Zeus_> dn4: i do not
[01:11] <koshari> hkl just run sudi apt-get install fluxbox-desktop
[01:11] <hosso> what is the difference between ubuntu crunchbang linux?
[01:12] <_Zeus_> dn4: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/09/14/animated-wallpaper-with-compiz-fusion-on-ubuntu/
[01:12] <_Zeus_> you need compiz
[01:12] <koshari>  wizzer amarok
[01:12] <bofh80> root0, someone could just plug your harddrive into another machine . .
[01:12] <wizzer> amarok is for kde, isn't it?
[01:12] <hkl> na I like actual cds
[01:12] <ehtom> root0: nono, you misunderstand what i'm thinking... it doesnt matter how strong your password is if someone installed a keylogger to /boot or had a hardware keylogger
[01:12] <_Zeus_> wizzer: you can use kde apps on gnome and vice versa
[01:12] <koshari> \wizzer it runs fine in gnome
[01:12] <wizzer> oh
[01:12] <wizzer> ok
[01:12] <wizzer> thanks
[01:13] <koshari> i have it playing right now in fact,
[01:13] <marcules> @ _Zeus_ 18000-20000MHz for example
[01:13] <koshari> wizzer http://www.last.fm/user/koshari
[01:13] <wizzer> i've just been running foobar through WINE
[01:13] <hkl> !@!@! there real reason i came here was to get answers about opening downloaded themes off internet how do you use them ????
[01:13] <koshari> hkl for gnome ones yu just drag them into the theme manager
[01:14] <hkl> lol k
[01:14] <hkl> thanks
[01:14] <Stormx2> hkl: Open System > Preferences > Appearence. Drag and drop.
[01:14] <ehtom> root0: what was this laptop being used for?
[01:14] <hkl> k thanks
[01:14] <koshari> hkl iam using gartoon now
[01:14] <root0> it was a desktop system not a laptop.
[01:14] <hkl> cool
[01:14] <wizzer> speaking of themes, where is a good spot to get some
[01:14] <ehtom> root0: you left it turned off when you went away for a week?
[01:15] <carandraug> wizzer: gnome-look.org
[01:15] <wizzer> thanks, i'll have a look
[01:15] <carandraug> wizzer: if you use KDE, go to www.kde-look.org instead
[01:15] <hkl> koshari: they keep telling me that my files are invalid
[01:16] <root0> when i left it was turned off, but the other person had access and the right to use it. it had a restricted user. and on /var/log/auth.log where logins using my user, at the time when i was miles away.
[01:17] <bofh80> root0, well it would appear he knows your password then, as suggested, have you changed it?
[01:18] <debCarlos> Alan_M: please, see my private message
[01:18] <Pici> hkl: What did you download?
[01:18] <root0> ya there are a few posible situations, i know. but i do not wanna investigate on that, i just wanna prevent.
[01:18] <koshari> hkl are you downlaoding the themes grom gnome look?
[01:18] <ehtom> root0: well if he has access, disk encryption means nothing
[01:18] <Cocoabean> root0 did your ssh server get compromised
[01:18] <kellynha> Oi
[01:18] <ehtom> root0: your machine could have been hacked, or someone knows your password
[01:19] <bofh80> root0, sure, as suggested, you might have a keylogger or such running, so that they can get what your punching into the keybaord. er you might want to check synaptic and the running processes
[01:19] <kellynha> Qm tem orkut?
[01:19] <koshari> hkl for examle http://art.gnome.org/themes/icon/1001
[01:19] <ehtom> bofh80: that wont help
[01:19] <bofh80> root0, they either guessed your password, found it written down, or they used a keylogger, which is probably still running on your machine . .
[01:19] <root0> no one can figure out a password made from 48 characters. not in just 5 days. the system was behind firewall and no ssh or stuf.
[01:19] <ehtom> root0: have you run chkrootkit
[01:23] <ehtom> ?
[01:23] <kellynha> se tiver me asd
[01:24] <ehtom> root0: they dont need to figure out the password if someone keyloggered you
[01:26] <root0> locobot_1 it's a bot used be local theams for channel logging and so... not sure...
[01:26] <dn4> how does one make it so that there is no window border?
[01:26] <root0> *teams (sorry for typo)
[01:26] <Pici> debCarlos: hm?
[01:26] <debCarlos> mmm, don't know... i logged in ubuntu-es and ubuntu and he pm me saying something about coc
[01:26] <_Zeus_> gaintsura: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:27] <debCarlos> oh, ok
[01:27] <Pici> gaintsura: What driver are you using?
[01:27] <gaintsura> zeus I did that, xorg.conf is back to original... however compiz is dead craptatsic, everything is laggy
[01:27] <gaintsura> Pici: fglrx
[01:27] <debCarlos> the channel is pretty active tonight uh? Lot's of people entering and quitting....
[01:27] <root0> gaintsura, let me check a few things...
[01:28] <Dr_willis> debCarlos,  actually its a slow night. :)
[01:28] <gaintsura> root0: have at it =)
[01:32] <esteth> Is it possible to tell GDM which of my two twinView monitors to use?
[01:32] <yuri_> Q: im connecting my cell phone via usb and using wammu. it is asking me for the name of the usb that it is connected to... where do i get this information?
[01:32] <debCarlos> Dr_willis: you think? I have been here before and never saw something like this...
[01:32] <Pici> gaintsura: What does fglrxinfo report?
[01:32] <esteth> yuri_, perhaps lsusb
[01:32] <gaintsura> Pici: want a pastebin of it?
[01:32] <Pici> gaintsura: sure
[01:32] <yuri_> esteth: yup, thanks!
[01:32] <bobertdos> Dr_willis: Yeah, I've noticed that too. It wasn't very fast this afternoon either.
[01:40] <Pici> gaintsura: Can you go to System>Administration>Hardware Drivers and make sure that the ATI driver is installed and enabled.
[01:40] <gaintsura> Pici: it is now, must reboot, erg I hope this works, this is what caused be to lose all GUI
[01:40] <yuri_> q: how do i know where a usb device is mounted? lsusb does not tell me the /dev
[01:41] <gaintsura> s/be/me
[01:46] <EagleScreen> Firefox does not closed well and i cannot find why
[01:46] <xsdg> to ask again, how do I configure which locales are generated? (I tried `dpkg-reconfigure locales`, but that doesn't seem to be it)
[01:46] <root0> gaintsura, http://paste.ubuntu.com/41086/
[01:47] <EagleScreen> xsdg good question, i would like to know it too
[01:47] <IndyGunFreak> EagleScreen: i have the same problem.. have to force quit everytime i close firefox.. i got so irritated, i just installed FF2.. works fine
[01:47] <EagleScreen> IndyGunFreak any solution?
[01:48] <carandraug> xsdg: EagleScreen: in arch linux I have to run "locale-gen". It may be the same with Ubuntu
[01:49] <ThersiT> I setup vsftpd to start with xinetd and it works fine but, I saw vsftpd is enabled in Services Settings. Is that a conflict?
[01:49] <gaintsura> Pici: enabling that and rebooting caused me to fully lose my GUI
[01:49] <xsdg> carandraug: it generates them, but it doesn't seem to let me select which ones _to_ generate
[01:49] <IndyGunFreak> EagleScreen: not that i know of.. like i said, i just installed FF2, and it works fine
[01:49] <ThersiT> I meen would one override the other?
[01:49] <root0> gaintsura, http://paste.ubuntu.com/41086/
[01:51] <ThersiT> anybody?
[01:51] <docta_v> is there a way i can tell when a particular package was installed?
[01:51] <carandraug> xsdg: EagleScreen: according to man locale-gen, that's what you need to run
[01:51] <carandraug> xsdg: according to the man pages, you have to place the locale you want to generate in /var/lib/locales/supported.d/
[01:51] <gaintsura> root0: done, now what?
[01:51] <EagleScreen> locale-gen generate locales, but do not allow you to choose what locales you want to generate
[01:52] <xsdg> carandraug: ok; thanks
[01:52] <EagleScreen> in Debian you can do it with sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
[01:53] <timboy> my ati card show 100% utilization when using opengl can someone help me fix this?
[01:53] <timboy> EagleScreen, what is your locale issue?
[01:54] <khushil> does anyone know why hardy heron sound stutters? starts off fine but then just bombs and stutters all the time till re-boot
[01:54] <khushil> 80:01.0 Audio device: VIA Technologies, Inc. VIA High Definition Audio Controller (rev 10)
[01:54] <EagleScreen> i would like to choose what locales must be generated
[01:54] <EagleScreen> Ubuntu generate by default a lot of locales that i wont never use
[01:54] <OldToker> hi all.. I have a question I have a drive hooked to my ubuntu box.. here that I want to have mounted at boot.. but I don't see how to make it auto mount.. can someone help?
[01:54] <root0> gaintsura, i think ya should reboot... not sure...
[01:54] <deme> Hey guys, I was wondering if you could help me with my wireless issue, my u/d is really slow and unreliable, I already disabled ipv6 and set my interfaces to 54M, and it got worse, any other suggestions?
[01:54] <gaintsura> root0 Pici: should I uninstall ALL of the envy/fglrx stuff and start from scratch?
[01:54] <gaintsura> root0: I can't tell you how many different ways that I've tried doing this, its been 3 days now and I still haven't gotten any closer to my problem =(
[01:54] <timboy> OldToker, you have to add to fstab
[01:54] <timboy> google ubuntu drive automount fstab
[01:54] <timboy> EagleScreen, ?
[01:54] <deme> Wait, nevermind, I think I got it
[01:54] <OldToker> timboy, thanks I will give that a look :)
[01:54] <timboy> np
[01:54] <CHC> i have a weird issue with ubuntu,apps freeze randomly and gnome too,i can't restart from terminal so i have to do a hard reboot to fix this
[01:55] <EagleScreen> i only need es_ES-UTF-8 and en_GB-UTF-8
[01:55] <CHC> a restart fixes it but its still annoying
[01:55] <carandraug> EagleScreen: the same. Take a look at the man page. It seems you have to place the file in /var/lib/locales/supported.d/
[01:55] <EagleScreen> timboy did u read y said?
[01:55] <timboy> EagleScreen, I got in after you asked your first question
[01:55] <bsdunix> seems the entirety of freenode has just "netsplit"
[01:56] <gaintsura> bsdunix: it looks like a full step by step reboot
[01:56] <root0> gaintsura, i did those things on a fresh install on a packard bell laptop from an alt.cd. i'm not sure what is your problem and i don't know what you did untill now... trying things "fresh" is good i think.
[01:56] <carandraug> EagleScreen: by what I understood you need to erase the locales you don't want to from that folder and then run locale-gen
[01:56] <gaintsura> root0: alright, so let me uninstall all the fglrx, and such, reboot and I'll brb
[01:57] <EagleScreen> in Debian you can choose what locales you want to generate by sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales, in Ubuntu i dont know a way to do it
[01:57] <Grandslammaster> i have a problem with apache2 and it executing cgi programs
[01:57] <javb> is there i way to configure or see the status of my nvidia card in ubuntu 8.04 ? Before, i used to have a config icon in ubuntu main menu
[01:57] <timboy> EagleScreen, /usr/share/locales/install-language-pack
[01:57] <Grandslammaster> i think i have to do something with scriptalias in the site-available folder
[01:57] <bsdunix> CHC: logfiles. that's all i can offer for help. google doesn't even know what's up. only YOU can figure that out.
[01:57] <CHC> ok :/
[01:57] <root0> gaintsura, i'l leave before you came back. that's all i can do for you. try those things on clean. hope will work.
[01:58] <SeaPhor> javb, install nvidia-settings
[01:58] <khushil> has anyone here had problems with sound on hardy at all?
[01:58] <EagleScreen> installing language-pack-es generate a lot of locales that i never use
[01:59] <EagleScreen> i would like to deactivate some of them

[02:03] <Jewjewbee> hey, can someone help me fix my USB drive mounting problem?
[02:03] <bsdunix> CHC: i am curious...how do the suspect apps behave without trying to be dependant upon ubuntu-desktop (gnome) GTK libs? - like; how do things behave running in KDE or windowmaker?
[02:03] <Mat1> ey guys can u give me a link to a website that has a copy of the last script u make on linuxcommand.org
[02:03] <hanif> jew jew, are you in Gutsy by any chance?
[02:04] <CHC> they just freeze up and won't start
[02:04] <CHC> sometimes the app freezes,sometimes it won't start at all
[02:04] <bsdunix> so you DID try in kde?
[02:04] <CHC> no,only gnome
[02:04] <CHC> i have kde installed too
[02:04] <Jewjewbee> hanif, no, i am in 8.04, and i think the problem is that i installed from a USB drive
[02:04] <Morydd> I've got an issue with kate since upgrading it to the KDE4 version
[02:04] <bsdunix> CHC: you must try KDE
[02:04] <Mat1> why
[02:04] <Mat1> i dont like how it looks
[02:05] <javb> in the nvidia settings, i can see the HDTV i have connected to my laptop via an adaptor. My laptop has VGA output, which via an adaptor it is connected to HDMI in my VIZIO TV.. in the nvidia-settings i can see the TV, it is detected. But TV says NO SIGNAL.. any idea?
[02:05] <javb> any idea?
[02:05] <hanif> are you not able to access? What is the prob exzactly
[02:05] <CHC> Ok,i will try kde, the issue is with firefox it seems to start at,but i will try that
[02:05] <Flannel> Morydd: KDE4 is probably best asked in #kubuntu-kde4
[02:05] <bsdunix> Mat1: i was recommending CHC to try it to see if apps "hang" under kde as well as gnome
[02:05] <Jewjewbee> hanif, it says cannout mount volume, but the drives work, i can force them to mount in gparted, and i can mount them on anyone elses computer
[02:05] <Mat1> i know
[02:05] <CHC> brb i will go on kde
[02:05] <Jewjewbee> the problem occured after i installed from a thumb drive
[02:06] <Morydd> Flannel: thanks.
[02:06] <bsdunix> Mat1: my experience was that upgrades and changes to ubuntu desktop (gnome) can break stuff if not careful.
[02:07] <bsdunix> lol
[02:07] <bsdunix> oh, that's rich
[02:07] <toppy> I'm wondering, has anyone found a 'package' or something with transcode for 8.04 that won't give the slice errors?
[02:07] <lenswipe> how to find the imagemagick path?

[02:11] <morbyte>           Wait n seconds before trying to mount the root filesystem. This can
[02:11] <morbyte>           be useful if the root filesystem is on a USB or FireWire device, as
[02:11] <morbyte>           those disk devices take a bit longer to be discovered by the kernel.

[02:16] <Mat1> yeah
[02:16] <bsdunix> i gotta go before i'm asked to leave for trying to stir up a hornets nest of idiocy
[02:16] <Mat1> boo windows
[02:16] <shehab_> i formated my secondary hard drive and it seems that the setting is that the root is the owner and i do not know how to change that,consider me as a first time computer user when explaining plz
[02:16] <drivamgr2008Spri> seconded, Mat1
[02:17] <drivamgr2008Spri> and thirded
[02:17] <esteth> shehab_, You mean you have a second hard drive you just want to use as storage for stuff? It's empty at the moment?
[02:17] <Dedicated> i still wait for the millions of chineas starting to code for linux
[02:17] <drivamgr2008Spri> I have been off windblows for 7 years now.  Wouldn't go back to windblows if I was offered the CEO's post
[02:17] <hanif> help, no matter how I set permissions, I cannot get mp3s onto usb player to show up in other than pc manager
[02:17] <shehab_> esteth: yes it is empty
[02:18] <Dr_willis> shehab_,  root is the owner..  you could make a directory on that filesystem and make that dirctory owned by a user if you wanted. I also belive with ext2/3 you can 'chown' the mountpoint after its mounted and make the whole drive owned by one user. (i alway sdo the directory owner route)
[02:18] <drivamgr2008Spri> Dedicated: You are waiting for the Chinese to code for linux?
[02:18] <nw15062> Why would the chinese start coding for linux it is a communist country so opensource software is the last thing they would support
[02:18] <shehab_> how can i do that Dr_willis
[02:18] <bsdunix> Dedicated: all my /var/log/auth.log shows from millions of hits on port22 is that all the chinese are already coders ... but apparently AGAINST linux
[02:18] <DreadKnight> nw15062: lol
[02:18] <DreadKnight> nw15062: that makes sense
[02:19] <hanif> actually, the communist party has its own "official" linux distro, red flag linux
[02:19] <Dr_willis> shehab_,  i use the 'chown' command -  sudo chown username.username /path/to/directory
[02:19] <Dr_willis> DreadKnight,  i was just thinking that made NO sence.
[02:19] <drivamgr2008Spri> hanif: you serious?
[02:19] <Dr_willis> :)
[02:19] <nw15062> yeah I know it was some humor simply put
[02:19] <Dedicated> bsdunix: still better than port 25:>
[02:19] <drivamgr2008Spri> I wouldn't mind looking at that if it does...
[02:19] <Dr_willis> There is a  is a 'red flag linux' i belive.
[02:19] <hanif> I think you misunderstand communist theory
[02:19] <esteth> shehab_, When you open the drive, what does the explorer tell you it is at? /media/disk, or something similar?
[02:19] <mrpockets> hey
[02:19] <mrpockets> My webcam only works like 10% of the time
[02:20] <hanif> how much closer to community property can you get than GPL?
[02:20] <Dr_willis> Amazing thing about  Communists - its always missunderstood. :)
[02:20] <nw15062> hanif communism and chinese communism are not the same in design
[02:20] <wizzer> hmm, amarok isn't actually playing the tracks
[02:20] <nw15062> the chinese communist government is very controlling and corrupt.
[02:20] <bsdunix> i just enjoy watching the process of china redefining communism for their own capitalist needs
[02:21] <drivamgr2008Spri> Get this: In September 2006, Dell and HP announced to sell Red Flag Linux Desktop 5.0 in China pre-installed on desktop computers and notebooks.
[02:21] <drivamgr2008Spri> Instead of windows
[02:21] <nw15062> thank you bsdunix that was my point
[02:21] <hanif> you have to learn to separate communist political theory and the chinese political structure

[02:21] <nw15062> who here is planning on getting the dell mini inspiron?
[02:22] <shehab_> esteth: it says exactly /media/disk-2
[02:22] <bsdunix> nw15062: i prefer the intel sr1500al
[02:22] <hanif> happy to, does anyone know how to get a usb mp3 player to actually show files I put on it from Hardy. 5 years on Ubuntu, Gutsy had some USB bugs, but this is crazy
[02:22] <fbc> unop, Hi, I was wondering if you could help me finish fixing the problem after I installed my updates.
[02:22] <bsdunix> nw15062: great bang for the buck. stable, flexible
[02:22] <esteth> shehab: Open a terminal, and type "sudo chown -R YOURUSERNAME:YOURUSERNAME /media/disk-2" without the quote marks
[02:23] <esteth> where YOURUSERNAME is the username you use to sign in
[02:23] <unop> fbc, i'm in the middle of something - can you wait about 10 minutes?
[02:24] <bsdunix> reminds me of the time peter griffin was in the middle of something
[02:24] <fbc> unop, sure.
[02:24] <hanif> I can be in root, both host and guest 777ed and I still can't get it to take a single MP3 without saying it is a bad file name. I even named an MP3 1.mp3, and it still said bad file namewhen I dosfscked the player
[02:24] <unop> fbc, cool .. i'll shout for you
[02:24] <fazuka_> why does my wireless not work when my power is plugged into my laptop
[02:24] <ShdwShinobi> Does anyone know of a good wireless PCI card that justs works wonderfully with ubuntu for <$25?
[02:24] <drivamgr2008Spri> @now GMT+1
[02:24] <SeaPhor> fazuka_, is it a HP?
[02:25] <bsdunix> ShdwShinobi: atheros chipset, prism2 chipset...
[02:25] <SeaPhor> ShdwShinobi, yes 1 sec
[02:25] <drivamgr2008Spri> Er... anyone know how to correct Ubottu?
[02:25] <ShdwShinobi> bsdunix, which one do you suggest out of the two?
[02:25] <ShdwShinobi> SeaPhor, ok, thanks :)
[02:26] <bsdunix> older used ath chipset unless you need AP mode
[02:26] <SeaPhor> ShdwShinobi, yes this one works "out of the box" https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsAirlink101
[02:26] <drivamgr2008Spri> Guys? Who runs Ubottu?  His time settings are WAY off...

[02:27] <SeaPhor> ShdwShinobi, look down at the awlh4130
[02:27] <djhash> drivamgr2008Spri: i guess the server is stuck on DST...
[02:27] <stodge> I can't seem to configure Apache to serve .phtml. I added   AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml    but it doesn't make any difference. Any ideas?
[02:27] <Dr_willis> !info scim
[02:27] <ShdwShinobi> SeaPhor, ok thanks
[02:27] <bsdunix> ShdwShinobi: watch out for brand loyalty. vendors change chipsets and versions OF chipsets on the fly without warning for same model of previously known-to-be-working HW
[02:27] <djhash> drivamgr2008Spri: its only 1hr off..
[02:27] <SeaPhor> ShdwShinobi, i got mine for $25
[02:27] <drivamgr2008Spri> djhash: I just asked for time in DST... and it is still 2 hours out here...
[02:27] <rockyrock> Dr_willis: it's always running
[02:27] <shehab_> training
[02:27] <ShdwShinobi> bsdunix, will do
[02:27] <ShdwShinobi> SeaPhor, where did you get it?
[02:27] <avanti> gday everyone
[02:28] <shehab_> !training
[02:28] <drivamgr2008Spri> djamel: it told me the time (GMT+1), which is DST, is 00:24 - its 2:28 AM here
[02:28] <avanti> q: is there a way to get ubantu to remode desktop like in windows
[02:28] <drivamgr2008Spri> sorry, djhash
[02:28] <SeaPhor> outpost.com  /  fry's  ShdwShinobi
[02:28] <avanti> by that i mean not VLC, but actual remote desktop
[02:28] <rockyrock> When i try to close it, it runs again!!!!! It drives my completely crazyt
[02:28] <djhash> drivamgr2008Spri: hmm. check ur timing.. i asked for EST and its 1 hour off..
[02:28] <shehab_> !terminal
[02:28] <bsdunix> ShdwShinobi: rather than try to see what works for ubuntu, find one that works for openbsd. then you KNOW you'll have raw capture for kismet and the like on ANY distro of linux
[02:28] <Wannabe> Can some help me Get WoW and TeamSpeak sound working
[02:29] <avanti> i i ask this becasue i need to be able to log into a box that has just been reset (ie i dont want any local access to the box)
[02:29] <drivamgr2008Spri> @now UTC
[02:29] <ShdwShinobi> bsdunix, good point... but atheros chipset will work on all distros period, right?
[02:29] <drivamgr2008Spri> sorry it is only 1 hour out...
[02:29] <sweetman> has anyone got the WG111T working in 64bit?
[02:29] <bsdunix> Atheros chipset gave that, native drivers. none of the ndis wrapper crap that blocks raw capture
[02:29] <esteth> avanti, What do you mean by "actual" remote desktop?
[02:29] <drivamgr2008Spri> @now UTC+1
[02:30] <bsdunix> ShdwShinobi: in my experience; yes.
[02:30] <ShdwShinobi> ok
[02:30] <drivamgr2008Spri> @now GMT
[02:30] <drivamgr2008Spri> ?
[02:30] <djhash> avanti: you can use VNC..
[02:30] <sanassar> Hey
[02:30] <Wannabe> Any one know why WoW hogs all of my sound
[02:30] <drivamgr2008Spri> i gonna take this to PM and see what the heck is wrong...
[02:30] <rockyrock> does anybody know a solution for my problem?
[02:30] <esteth> Wannabe: winecfg -> sound -> uncheck OSS, check alsa
[02:31] <Vialas> hello?
[02:31] <sanassar> Does anyone know how to make Firefox Portable
[02:31] <sanassar> From a tar.gz compiled Firefox binary
[02:31] <drivamgr2008Spri> djhash: My bad with Ubottu - I was going forward an hour instead of back...
[02:31] <bsdunix> sanassar: there WAS a downloadable product called firefox portable (FP)
[02:31] <esteth> avanti: SSH will be installed on every ubuntu box by default I think. That's built-in remote access, but you get a terminal, not a GUI
[02:31] <LaQuirrELL> hi room
[02:31] <Vialas> hello everyone
[02:31] <Wannabe> esteth, i've always had alsa checked.
[02:31] <drivamgr2008Spri> djhash: If i use @now GMT-1 it gives me correct core time
[02:32] <LaQuirrELL> I am using ubuntu 8.04  with the xfce desktop and i don't seem to be able to get drag and drop to work for moving files   Is there something i need to download for this to work?
[02:32] <LaQuirrELL> or should i be in the xfce help channel?
[02:32] <Vialas> hi its avanti here
[02:32] <esteth> Wannabe, Then I'm not sure. One app hogging sound is a classic symptom of using OSS
[02:32] <Vialas> yea, im after a gui
[02:32] <esteth> Vialas, then VNC is your best option
[02:33] <esteth> why can't you use VNC?
[02:33] <Varth> Would anyone be interested in helping me get my Atheros wifi working?
[02:33] <sanassar> Back
[02:33] <sanassar> Had to do something
[02:33] <sanassar> So what about firefox portable
[02:33] <Vialas> i can, however if i restart the computer, i am unable to log back in
[02:33] <billybigrigger> when dual booting which should i install first vista or hardy?
[02:33] <sanassar> Vista first
[02:33] <Wannabe> esteth, any other ideas?
[02:33] <billybigrigger> thnx'
[02:33] <sanassar> If you install it last you will need to do some extra work
[02:33] <sanassar> Your Welcome
[02:33] <sanassar> I did this on my other Desktop
[02:33] <Exlax> Hi. I've had an extremely frustrating problem ever since upgrading to 8.04. After awhile, gnome will stop responding.  Any help would be appreciated.
[02:33] <Vialas> seems you must have a pre logedin account
[02:33] <esteth> Wannabe, Unfortunately not :(
[02:34] <sanassar> Eh
[02:34] <Vialas> i just seem perplexed as to why this would be the case (security??)
[02:34] <Wannabe> esteth, Hm.
[02:34] <sanassar> Anyone have a problem
[02:34] <sanassar> I'm bored
[02:34] <Exlax> I do
[02:34] <Varth> I'm having a problem with my wifi.
[02:34] <bsdunix> well, it looked like sanassar only had severe latency rather than intentional flooding
[02:34] <drivamgr2008Spri> right all. I am outta here. Be good
[02:34] <drivamgr2008Spri> :)
[02:34] <sanassar> What Wireless Chip do you use
[02:34] <sanassar> Huh
[02:34] <sanassar> I was banned and unbanned in a second?
[02:34] <esteth> Vialas: typically, you'll use SSH to login and start the VNC server. Then connect to the VNC server
[02:34] <rockyrock> Exlax: check you RAM
[02:35] <bsdunix> sanassar: yes
[02:35] <sanassar> Why
[02:35] <sanassar> I just got on here
[02:35] <jmichelse1> can someone explain the reaso
[02:35] <esteth> Vialas, This way, the computer doesn't have to run the visual environment all the time, even when no-one is logged in
[02:35] <Varth> sanassar: It's the Atheros in my Toshiba A205-S5843 laptop.
[02:35] <sanassar> Never got on really
[02:35] <Exlax> rockyrock: how do i do that
[02:35] <bsdunix> you put like 7 lines at once
[02:35] <sanassar> The Toshiba A205-S5843
[02:35] <sanassar> Hm
[02:35] <jmichelse1> can someone explain to me the reason to use JACK
[02:35] <sanassar> Let me look it up
[02:35] <tico> Hi. I'm looking for software like MS VirtualPC where I can choose an ISO to boot. I don't know if vmware has a feature like that. Are there other apps that can do this in linux?
[02:35] <rockyrock> Exlax: memtest86x
[02:35] <bsdunix> tico: join #xen. enjoy
[02:36] <esteth> tico: VMware does do that, but virtualBox is in the ubuntu repositories, which will also do it, whereas vmware will have to be obtained on your own steam.
[02:36] <jmichelse1> tico: yes, virtualbox can do it
[02:36] <Exlax> Thanks, i'll do that
[02:36] <tico> jmichelse1: thank you, thanks esteth
[02:36] <jmichelse1> tico: np
[02:37] <bsdunix> esteth: a xen dom0 ubuntu box with images of hvm domU distros = free, good
[02:37] <sanassar> bsdunix:Why did I get banned and unbanned like this
[02:37] <sanassar> I only went here twice
[02:37] <sanassar> Once before And Now Here...
[02:37] <esteth> bsdunix, I have no idea what that means.
[02:37] <bsdunix> sanassar: latency is what it looked like from here
[02:37] <Vialas> esteth: can i pm you
[02:37] <esteth> sanassar, It's a bot that's seeing you putting many lines very quickly into the channel.
[02:38] <wers> i have a lot of .exes and .dll files on my home folder. i dont know where they came from. haha! can I just delete them? hehe
[02:38] <sanassar> Ugh
[02:38] <esteth> Vialas, go ahead
[02:38] <sanassar> I can type fast...
[02:38] <sanassar> God its hard to type slow
[02:38] <esteth> sanassar, Try not to use return as a punctuation mark if you can help it.
[02:38] <bsdunix> esteth: check out xen. you can boot a xen kernel, take advantage of your proc's intel, amd virtualization features and easily virtualize many guest OS's
[02:38] <sanassar> I don't understand
[02:39] <sanassar> I just use my enter key
[02:39] <esteth> sanassar, Instead of saying I don't understand, then another message I just use my enter key, lump it all into one message
[02:39] <Varth> sanassar: Any luck?
[02:39] <sanassar> Oh
[02:39] <sanassar> I see
[02:39] <bsdunix> sanassar: it looked like all the netsplit crap freenode's going through put latency on your connection and 7 postings from you came all at once on this end
[02:40] <sanassar> I know I'll put everything into my message
[02:40] <jmichelse1> ssssss
[02:40] <Wannabe> is any1 else having troubles running WoW and TS
[02:40] <sanassar> Varth:Your the one who needs to get your wireless card working right

[02:41] <afallenhope> Hey I have a small quirk that kinda makes me upset. Is there anyway of having my display ALWAYS left to it's fullest. Everytime I boot up I have to change my display pressing "FN" and the brightness all the way up.
[02:42] <Varth> a205-s5843
[02:42] <sanassar> Thank you.BRB

[02:43] <sanassar> Do you know what your wireless card chipset is
[02:43] <Varth> It's an Atheros, but that's all I can find out about it.
[02:43] <sanassar> Ok
[02:44] <timboy> my ati card show 100% utilization when using opengl can someone help me fix this?
[02:44] <Alpha232> yay homo at last!
[02:44] <wizzer> uhh..
[02:44] <Varth> Atheros AR242x
[02:44] <LSD|Ninja> sanassar: lspci | grep Ethernet
[02:44] <LSD|Ninja> oops, n/m
[02:44] <sanassar> At the Toshiba A205-S5843 it just says Atheros®Wireless LAN (802.11b/g)
[02:44] <Varth> Atheros AR242x
[02:44] <amt2> i just installed ubuntu, and i'm having trouble connecting to my wireless network. After a while, it asks for the WEP key. Then I enter the correct key, it tries to connect for a while, and then I get the same window that asks for the WEP key again. Any help?
[02:44] <Varth> That's what lspci tells me.
[02:45] <wizzer> so...amarok says the song is playing, but the seek bar thing doesn't move and i hear nothing
[02:45] <sanassar> Hm
[02:45] <sanassar> I found a Ubuntu Forums Topic on this
[02:45] <afallenhope> wizzer, I used to have that issue too. restart your sound. : sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[02:45] <Varth> I've tried a ton of stuff on the forums and nothing seems to be working.
[02:45] <afallenhope> then restart amarok
[02:45] <sanassar> One second I'm getting the link
[02:46] <[gnubie]> anyone knows how to set gcc-4.1 as the default gcc version as opposed to gcc-4.2 on ubuntu-<IP_ADDRESS>?
[02:46] <sanassar> Varth:Have you tried this thread:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789824
[02:47] <sanassar> This might not be for your wireless chipset
[02:47] <Varth> Yeah. It didn't work.
[02:47] <Varth> I'll tryi t one more time.
[02:47] <sanassar> Ok
[02:48] <Alpha232> hmmm wouldn't it be handy to have a tool to build /etc/network/interfaces automagically from the current config lol
[02:48] <sanassar> Do you have any special privilege on the chat?I some times see your name in Red
[02:48] <gaintsura> So I've managed to get my video (mostly) back to how it was, everything is smooth, compiz is running fine, however I cannot get full screen video, when I put a video to full screen it just drops it back to window mode. Anyone have any ideas?
[02:48] <gaintsura> I should mention (because I forgot) ATI + fglrx drivers
[02:48] <Varth> I think it does that if I put your name first.
[02:48] <wizzer> yeah, restarting alsa didn't work
[02:49] <sanassar> Varth:I see
[02:49] <Varth> sanassar: Did this do it?
[02:49] <wizzer> it still doesn't move the seek thing and doesn't play
[02:49] <wizzer> and amarok freezes whenever i pause it or try moving the seek
[02:49] <sanassar> Varth:Yeah your name shows up in read.Here is a command to paste in a terminal:lspci -v | less
[02:50] <DavidCanarias> I've just managed to get Java working well when I enter some chat lines. Does anyone know why sometimes the site is so delicate sometimes it just disappears and closes down???
[02:50] <sanassar> Varth:Are you here.Please enter lspci -v | less in a terminal.
[02:50] <SeaPhor> wizzer, have you tried VLC?
[02:50] <wizzer> yeah, it works
[02:50] <amt2> i just installed ubuntu, and i'm having trouble connecting to my wireless network. After a while, it asks for the WEP key. Then I enter the correct key, it tries to connect for a while, and then I get the same window that asks for the WEP key again. Any help?
[02:51] <gaintsura> amt2: move closer to the access point?
[02:51] <amt2> gaintsura: i don't think it's that, if i try another network it works
[02:51] <gaintsura> hmm
[02:51] <wizzer> actually
[02:51] <wizzer> no sound now
[02:51] <gaintsura> amt2: did you check to make sure you put it in as 64/128bit ASCII (if its text) otherwise, HEX ?
[02:52] <wers> what's the trash directory of my root account?
[02:52] <Dr_willis> !trash

[02:52] <Dr_willis> wers,  should be /root/.local/share/Trash i beive
[02:52] <amt2> gaintsura: i select the WEP 128 bit and then enter the key which is just 10 numbers
[02:53] <gaintsura> amt2: try 64/128bit HEX
[02:53] <amt2> ok... i'll try that... sadly im in windows now
[02:53] <mneptok> amt2: WEP is pretty useless. might as well not enable it, and do MAC filtering instead.
[02:53] <amt2> why is it pretty useless? if i disable it, wouldnt anyone be able to join my network?
[02:53] <wers> Dr_willis, i just deleted files using my root account. didnt see them in that dir :(
[02:53] <gaintsura> amt2: not if you use mac filtering
[02:53] <gaintsura> WEP is very easy to crack
[02:54] <mneptok> amt2: not with MAC filtering. and WEP's encryption has been broken for a long, long time.
[02:54] <Dr_willis> wers,  depends on how you deleted them I guess.
[02:54] <chuy_max> hey guys, is it possible to play a song using the green sound hole, and another song using the line-in blue hole?
[02:54] <wers> Dr_willis, on nautilus using as root?
[02:54] <DavidCanarias> Can anyone help with some problems I am having with Java
[02:54] <Dr_willis> wers,  look in the users Trash directory then. I NEVER use the gui filemanager as root.
[02:55] <Bullterd> Evening All
[02:55] <amt2> mneptok and gainsura: how can i do MAC filtering?
[02:55] <Bullterd> Whats MSI like linux driver wise ?
[02:55] <Dr_willis> wers,  theres also that 'trash:///' (or similer) url you can put in the file manager.
[02:55] <gaintsura> amt2: depends on your router/ap
[02:55] <mneptok> amt2: look in the router/access point's admin interface. if the device supports it, that's where you enter what MAC addresses are allowed on your network.
[02:56] <mneptok> Bullterd: MSI doesn't really make device chipsets
[02:56] <Syco54645_AAO> what are the gtk development packages known as in the repos

[02:59] <SeaPhor> Bullterd, i have had no probs with any of my nvidia chipsets, from 5200 to 8600, just use the restricted drivers
[03:00] <unop> fbc, paste the output of.  sudo aptitude install

[03:00] <R_YoYo_R> !wireless
[03:01] <unop> fbc, do you have a file at.  /var/lib/dpkg/info/deskbar-applet.postinst
[03:02] <unop> fbc, if so, put its contents up on a pastebin.
[03:02] <SeaPhor> Bullterd, yes, restricted drivers,,,, don't try to use the drivers from nvidia's website, or envy, or anything else, just open System>Administration> Hardware drivers and make sure that nvidia restricted drivers are ther, in use and enabled
[03:03] <fbc> unop, standby
[03:03] <Bullterd> In other words: Just run with the ones that are there by default

[03:04] <Addernator> i want to make a wireless connection on my router
[03:04] <fbc> unop, http://pastebin.com/m3f69a509
[03:04] <R_YoYo_R> Addernator, explain
[03:04] <SeaPhor> Bullterd, no, exactly what i said, you may have to enable them and set them to "in use"
[03:04] <Addernator> i want to make a wireless network that my laptop will pick up
[03:04] <R_YoYo_R> Addernator, then that is not a question asked here
[03:05] <Addernator> i have a wireless router that allows connection through the ethernet ports on the back of it but it doesent have a wireless connection
[03:05] <R_YoYo_R> Addernator, consult the router guides
[03:05] <genii> Addernator: Then purchase a wireless access point and plug it into one of the LAN ports on the router.
[03:05] <SeaPhor> Bullterd, then, you install nvidia-settings by typing in to a terminal,   sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings
[03:05] <Addernator> i tried wehat the damn guide said and it doesent work
[03:06] <scubasteve> could someone help me for a sec, i have been trying to get the 4 wallpapers with icons thing from the tutorial on http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=6199&page=8 ,               thing is i cant figure out how to patch nautilus and eel, could someone help
[03:06] <Addernator> the rokuter is wireless
[03:06] <unop> fbc, ok, edit this file and place a  set -x  on line #2. save it and run this command.  sudo aptitude install -f  # pastebin the results
[03:06] <Addernator> it's a wireless routwer with ethernet ports on the back
[03:06] <Addernator> router*
[03:06] <R_YoYo_R> Addernator, ok so did you set up a wireless network on the router/
[03:06] <Addernator> i dont know how thats why i am here
[03:07] <scubasteve> anybody?
[03:07] <Addernator> the guide is complete nonsense
[03:07] <Addernator> it says to connect to it using a browser
[03:07] <R_YoYo_R> Addernator, this isnt a place to discuss how to set up your router unfourtunatley
[03:07] <Addernator> i type the i.p it gives me but the browser just searches for it on google
[03:07] <scubasteve> could someone help?
[03:07] <SeaPhor> and Bullterd if you need help setting your resolution, come to #SeaPhor and I or someone there will help you edit your .conf file to get it right
[03:07] <R_YoYo_R> yes you usually configure your router by browsing to it from a web browser
[03:07] <[gnubie]> anyone knows how to set gcc-4.1 as the default gcc version as opposed to gcc-4.2 on ubuntu-<IP_ADDRESS>?

[03:10] <unop> fbc, Y
[03:11] <VipOrX> tyrandan: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libflashsupport
[03:11] <fbc> unop, http://pastebin.com/m50598542
[03:12] <fbc> unop, It's going to remove ubuntu-desktop that is like a necessary itme, what should I do here.
[03:12] <unop> fbc, Y
[03:12] <fbc> unop, ok
[03:12] <SeaPhor> sanassar, yeah,,, how do i get a game to work in wine, that installed successfully but says the windows pc needs a reboot?
[03:12] <unop> fbc, it's only a metapackage .. it doesn't actually remove anything
[03:12] <IdleOne> fbc: you can re-install it later
[03:13] <fbc> unop, http://pastebin.com/ma732d72 ok what now?
[03:15] <De[X]tone> m0rn1ng, guys...
[03:15] <R_YoYo_R> hello
[03:15] <R_YoYo_R> night time here
[03:16] <unop> fbc, edit the same file .. and change line #16 from   scrollkeeper-update -q >/dev/null 2>&1    to    scrollkeeper-update -q >/dev/null; echo $?
[03:17] <unop> fbc, then do this same procedure again
[03:19] <Wannabe> Can some one please help me set up Teamspeak and Wow's sound to work together? i really want this.
[03:19] <xomp> hello, I'm new to linux and was curious if someone can tell me how I would go about finding out why my laptop gets a kernel panic upon booting? I just did updates and now it panics unless I hit escape and choose a different kernel.
[03:20] <unop> fbc, any progress?
[03:20] <Wannabe> Any  one know why i can have either WoW sound, or Teamspeak sound, not both?
[03:21] <amt2_> thanks to whoever just helped me, changing the WEP to hex worked
[03:21] <fbc> unop, it said the following pkgs will be removed update-manager.. I hit yess, and went through it's routine and gave me a command prompt..
[03:21] <carandraug> Wannabe: I think you have to use oss in Wine for that. You checked Wine AppDB?
[03:21] <unop> fbc, ok, let's see that output anyway.
[03:21] <fbc> unop, http://pastebin.com/m549a1894
[03:21] <fbc> unop, still got errors though
[03:22] <SeaPhor> xomp, sorry to say you came in at an in-opportune time, some of the ppl that could best help you are not on right now
[03:22] <Wannabe> carandraug, havnt checked yet, i've seen them both work, WoW works on wine on alsa, and wine on oss, i have done both
[03:22] <xomp> SeaPhor, ah :/ ok, thanks.
[03:23] <xomp> I guess I'll just have to live with escaping to the menu upon booting lol
[03:23] <carandraug> Wannabe: I don't use it myself but I read something about that today or yesterday because of another user
[03:23] <xomp> no biggy, although it won't impress my "WINDOWS > LINUX" friends lol
[03:23] <SeaPhor> xomp, no, hang out a while, ask again in 5 or so
[03:24] <Wannabe> carandraug, gah, cause iw ant ym game sound back,
[03:24] <SeaPhor> xomp, what type of laptop is it?
[03:24] <xomp> SeaPhor, it's a compaq evo n610c
[03:25] <SeaPhor> xomp, heh, i work for Compaq/HP
[03:25] <xomp> SeaPhor, I hadn't used ubuntu in about 5 months and decided to get back on it yesterday and had a bunch of updates to download/install which I did. Then after reboot everything went tits up heh
[03:25] <fbc> unop, what's next?
[03:26] <SeaPhor> xomp, ahhh, so you updated a dormant install?
[03:26] <xomp> anyone know if there's a linux package that can read .chm files?
[03:26] <xomp> yeah SeaPhor
[03:26] <carandraug> Wannabe: there's a paragraph in here about it https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft
[03:26] <R_YoYo_R> xomp, cant you revert back to the old kernel?
[03:26] <favro> xomp: there is xchm
[03:26] <SeaPhor> xomp, have you considered a fresh install of 8.04?
[03:26] <xomp> R_YoYo_R, I have no idea lol, I barely know how to turn this thing on lol
[03:27] <xomp> I run Hardy if that makes a diff
[03:27] <unop> fbc, looks like scrollkeeper is segfaulting .. so let's try and manually install it
[03:27] <xomp> thanks favro :D
[03:27] <unop> fbc, cd /tmp && wget -q http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/ubuntu/pool/main/s/scrollkeeper/scrollkeeper_0.3.14-15ubuntu1_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i scrollkeeper_0.3.14-15ubuntu1_i386.deb
[03:27] <Wannabe> carandraug, yeha i had no luck on it
[03:27] <unop> !info scrollkeeper
[03:28] <SeaPhor> xomp, have you considered a fresh install of 8.04?
[03:28] <Entropy51423> Anyone have an opinion on Jahshaka, I am thinking of using it, but wanted to come to the people who's opinion I trust first. (Linux users)
[03:28] <xomp> SeaPhor, is that Hardy Heron?
[03:28] <SeaPhor> xomp, as oppossed to the upgraded?
[03:29] <xomp> SeaPhor, I had a fresh install of Hardy, I didn't upgrade from Gutsy at all
[03:29] <carandraug> Wannabe: if you followed that stuff, installing everything and it doesn't work I don't know. Make sure you typed the path to executables right
[03:29] <SeaPhor> xomp, just saying, it lay dormant thru a lot of change
[03:29] <Wannabe> carandraug, i can run linux TS and windows WoW at the same time, but only 1 can have sound
[03:29] <Wannabe> carandraug, one sec brb
[03:30] <fbc> unop,  still @ rebuilgin the database, this may take some time.
[03:30] <Entropy51423> Anyone know anything about Jahshaka?
[03:30] <xomp> SeaPhor, yeah, but I did the updates :)
[03:30] <unop> fbc, hmm, how long has it been ?
[03:30] <SeaPhor> xomp, and i didnt mean from gutsy, i meant from 5 months ago
[03:31] <leo_rockway> Entropy51423: know as in "know how to use it"?
[03:31] <Entropy51423> No, as in opinions on it
[03:31] <xomp> SeaPhor, oh ok. I just think whatever kernel update that went on during my off season wrecked it heh
[03:31] <SeaPhor> there may have been 1 that was dependant on another you missed, and that is very possible
[03:32] <leo_rockway> Entropy51423: I tried the windows version like 2 years ago and I couldn't get anything done. This was 2 years ago, tho, I never tried it again since I migrated
[03:32] <fbc> unop, ok it's done
[03:32] <SeaPhor> there may have been 1 that was dependant on another you missed, and that is very possible xomp
[03:32] <unop> fbc, did it complete successfully?
[03:32] <dunn357> hey guys, on ubuntu.com it said i could come here for some help? i could connect to the internet just fine (using xp sp3), however, since installing 8.04 im unable to do so. anyone willing to help? i'll provide any subsequent information needed
[03:33] <fbc> unop, it just gave me a promt,, noerros so I guess it was successful
[03:33] <timboy> anyone know what the solution is to fixing the opengl 100% cpu utilization issue is?
[03:33] <Entropy51423> I was searching www.osalt.com and found it and thought it looked interesting
[03:33] <carandraug> anyone knows an application to view pdf in the tty? Like when one watch movies with mplayer using svga. Or should I convert it to another format?
[03:33] <unop> fbc, ok. let's try this again.   sudo aptitude install -f
[03:33] <SeaPhor> xomp, also, make sure you have the latest bios update for that from HP,,, trust me
[03:33] <carandraug> dunn357: is it wireless?
[03:33] <dunn357> no, wired connection
[03:34] <dunn357> through linksys router
[03:34] <dunn357> i should note that all other computers on said router are running fine
[03:34] <carandraug> dunn357: linksys *blegh*
[03:34] <Entropy51423> osalt is an opensource alternative to commercial software site, so basically it has a big database of commercial software and has an open source alternative list
[03:34] <leo_rockway> Entropy51423: the latest release appears to be v2.0 which was done in 2006, but the website says they are working on 3.0
[03:34] <dunn357> i :)
[03:35] <carandraug> dunn357: are the other computers running ubuntu or any other Linux distro?
[03:35] <marcelo> alguém do brasil?
[03:35] <leo_rockway> Entropy51423: yeah, I just checked that page out, I didn't know it, thanks for the link
[03:35] <dunn357> nope, os x and xp
[03:35] <bofh80> dunn357, cool. are you able to bring up a terminal and type ifconfig  followed by return
[03:35] <leo_rockway> !br | marcelo
[03:35] <djhash> leo_rockway: hi!
[03:35] <bofh80> dunn357, are you technical enough to see if it has been assigned an IP ?
[03:35] <marcelo> thanks
[03:35] <dunn357> will do, sec (using laptop, ubuntu on desktop)
[03:35] <leo_rockway> djhash: greetings and salutations : )
[03:35] <fbc> unop, ok it finished with no errors..
[03:35] <dunn357> bash: ipconfig: command not found
[03:36] <bofh80> dunn357, iF  iF if
[03:36] <fbc> unop, do I reinstall update-manager
[03:36] <djhash> dunn357: replace the p with an f
[03:36] <dunn357> oo
[03:36] <dunn357> hahahaha
[03:36] <bofh80> dunn357, ipconfig in winblows, ifconfig in *nix :)
[03:36] <dunn357> :) ok ran it
[03:36] <leo_rockway> dunn357: the opposite happens to me when I try to use command.com
[03:36] <dunn357> i got: eth0, eth0:avahi
[03:36] <dunn357> and lo
[03:36] <unop> fbc, sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install update-manager update-manager-core
[03:37] <dunn357> leorockway: :D
[03:37] <bofh80> dunn357, does it have relevant information for eth0 ,. does it have an ip address , ie 192.168.blah.blah
[03:37] <dunn357> i see the MAC address (tho its called something else), eth0:avahi shows ipaddresses and mask
[03:37] <dunn357> eth0 does not
[03:37] <timboy> anyone know what the solution is to fixing the opengl 100% cpu utilization issue?
[03:38] <unop> fbc, sounds like it's ok now then ?
[03:38] <bofh80> dunn357, i'm not sure wha thte avaih bit means, but you have an assigned IP address yes?
[03:38] <fbc> unop, done, no errors.
[03:38] <bofh80> dunn357, type in nslookup and hit return
[03:38] <unop> fbc, sudo do-release-upgrade  # if you are wanting to upgrade then
[03:39] <fbc> unop, but it did say it held back YELP
[03:39] <bofh80> dunn357, should see >  . type   server and hit return
[03:39] <unop> fbc, well, what are you planning on doing now?
[03:39] <MolePrince> After runniing rsync I get a message some files could not be transferred.  Is there a good way to tell which please?
[03:39] <fbc> unop, no new releases
[03:39] <unop> fbc, is that what do-release-upgrade says?
[03:39] <bofh80> dunn357, it should list the ip address of the router . . .
[03:40] <unop> MolePrince, examine the output of rsync
[03:40] <dunn357> bofh80, that's what was confusing me, i have no idea what eth0:avahi is, it comes in after the information for eth0 (where ud think eth1 would be, for example), this entry has a corresponding inet addr:<numbers here> and bcast:<...> and mask:<..> whereas eth0, the one you asked about, does not
[03:40] <fbc> unop, no release found
[03:40] <unop> fbc, what version are you on?
[03:40] <dunn357> does that make any sense?
[03:40] <unop> !version | fbc
[03:40] <fbc> 8.04
[03:40] <fbc> unop, 8.04
[03:40] <leo_rockway> dunn357: maybe you are better off pastebinning your output
[03:40] <djhash> dunn357: use pastebin and paste everything on the terminal
[03:40] <unop> fbc, ahh, right, that explains it .. you are on the latest version.
[03:40] <djhash> !pastebin
[03:41] <unop> fbc, sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
[03:41] <fbc> unop, yep
[03:41] <MolePrince> unop: It's for about 200 thousand files.  I didn't happen to see which ones as they scrolled past.
[03:41] <unop> fbc, and you should be sorted. :)
[03:41] <dunn357> ok, however im on a different computer at the moment (seeing as the linux one wont connect) so let me find a way to bring that here
[03:41] <bofh80> dunn357, can you scroll up and follow the nslookup instructions?
[03:41] <unop> MolePrince, well, run rsync again then
[03:41] <revokinz> !ls
[03:41] <unop> MolePrince, and this time make a log.  rsync -options src/ dest/ &> /tmp/rsync.log
[03:42] <Dwie_cakep> he
[03:42] <fbc> unop, thank you!! You are awesome!
[03:42] <dunn357> sorry, please bear with me: nslookup instructions? i dont see something like that, shall i just retype the output?
[03:42] <unop> MolePrince, or better  rsync -options src/ dest/ | tee /tmp/rsync.log
[03:42] <unop> fbc, :)
[03:42] <bofh80> dunn357, type in nslookup and hit return on the terminal
[03:42] <bofh80> dunn357, should see >  . type   server and hit return
[03:43] <dunn357> takes me to a prompt: >
[03:43] <MolePrince> unop: Trying that, thanks.
[03:43] <bofh80> dunn357, it should list the ip address of the router . . .
[03:43] <dunn357> that it does not do :c
[03:44] <djhash> dunn357:  did you type server?
[03:44] <timboy> anyone know what the solution is to fixing the opengl 100% cpu utilization issue?
[03:44] <lady> haiii
[03:44] <dunn357> full command please?
[03:44] <bofh80> dunn357, at the > prompt   type server and hit return
[03:44] <Senri> make me a sandwhich
[03:45] <dunn357> oic, doing
[03:45] <dunn357> i get: <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:45] <dunn357> as default server
[03:45] <dunn357> address: <IP_ADDRESS>#52
[03:45] <bofh80> dunn357, ok, do you know your routers ip address?
[03:45] <unop> dunn357, 52 or 53??
[03:45] <dunn357> default server and address are the following to entries ( ::1 and ::1#53) respectively
[03:46] <dunn357> 53 both times, typo!
[03:46] <dunn357> not 52, 53
[03:46] <unop> copy and paste already :)

[03:47] <Vialas> hi guys
[03:47] <unop> lady, no need for that.
[03:47] <dunn357> thats the routers address, but not the one comcast assigns it, taht the one for local network

[03:48] <djhash> dunn357: do you have a usb drive?
[03:48] <dunn357> yeah i do
[03:48] <bofh80> dunn357, if you type ipconfig /all   into a cmd box on your windows, it will tell you dns and default gateway IP, which will be the router
[03:48] <djhash> then copy and paste into a file.. put it into a usb drive.. bring it to this computer then PASTEBIN
[03:48] <dunn357> bofh, it outputted default server: <IP_ADDRESS>, address: <IP_ADDRESS>#53
[03:49] <bofh80> dunn357, your ubuntu box?

[03:51] <dunn357> djhash, ok let me go find one (i have portable HD if it comes to that)
[03:51] <dunn357> ok will do that first bofh
[03:52] <dunn357> several pings, Destination Host Unreachable at end of each line
[03:52] <corhere> On my machine, Totem is stretching videos vertically. I have traced this problem back to the "xvimagesink" in GStreamer, as when I use the "Test" button in gstreamer-properties' video tab, the video window is stretched vertically. Selecting the "X Window System (no Xv)" (ximagesink) makes the Test appear with the correct aspect ratio. What can I do to further troubleshoot this issue?
[03:53] <djhash> dunn357: double check the cable connection.. see if the LED on the router is lit for that connection.. and check to see the ethernet card's led is lit too...
[03:55] <bofh80> dunn357, when you run ifconfig   , does the avah link  IP address start with 169 .   ?
[03:55] <dunn357> ok, connected USB drive (djhash cables OK), what did u want me to save for u?
[03:55] <dunn357> let me do it again bofh
[03:55] <dunn357> bofh, yes it does: <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:56] <djhash> first.. the output of "ifconfig"
[03:56] <cutandbrused> hello all anyone knowsomething good to do in ubuntu'
[03:56] <dunn357> ok
[03:56] <djhash> cutandbrused: play around with compiz-fusion
[03:56] <SeaPhor> dunn357, djhash bofh80 , is this wireless?   eth0:avahi ???
[03:56] <bofh80> dunn357, ok, this means, the cable should be seated correctly, but for some reason it's not recieving an IP address.... you could try what he says, unplug the lead, plug it back in, this will force it to retry . . .
[03:56] <Ironman1> hellow im trying to run a tftp server in ubuntu im moving from windows so i dont know how i need to host a file
[03:57] <xomp> I'm getting a kernel panic after booting. Specifically right after "Linux Live End, Starting Distribution" There is some "Init: 3248374pi34h23" then kernel panic madness?
[03:57] <bofh80> SeaPhor, no, eth0 is the network connection on the pc physically, wireless is usually wlan0 or similar
[03:57] <dunn357> SeaPhor: no wireless on this computer, let me get you the output 1 sec
[03:58] <dunn357> sorry, no wireless on the ubuntu box i mean
[03:58] <SeaPhor> bofh80, i know, but he is type-copying, avahi sounds odd
[03:58] <Syco54645_AAO> what is a good osd software the will display images, much like when you mute your sound on a laptop?
[03:58] <bofh80> dunn357, when you unplug / plugin the lead, you should see a litle green circle thing appearing on the network icon in the top right, you ever seen that?
[03:59] <djhash> SeaPhor: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avahi_(software)
[03:59] <bofh80> SeaPhor, the avahi thin is releated to the dhcp client dhclient3 afaik and pops up like that when it does not recieve an address
[03:59] <dunn357> ok, here it comes:
[03:59] <dunn357> eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:13:8f:cd:6c:17             inet6 addr: fe80::213:8fff:fecd:6c17/64 Scope:Link           UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1           RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0           TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0           collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000            RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)           Interrupt:20 Base address:0xb400
[03:59] <dunn357> eww
[03:59] <brettley> is there a way to make backup images using an ubuntu live CD?
[03:59] <dunn357> how do i past it here?
[03:59] <FloodBot2> dunn357: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:00] <djhash> dunn357: use pastebin
[04:00] <dunn357> shall i do line by line? (im on a os x machine, running a VERY simple irc)
[04:00] <djhash> dunn357: go to the address FloodBot2 told you.. paste it in there.. submit then give us the link
[04:00] <dunn357> ok will do
[04:01] <bofh80> dunn357, are there lights on the router, indicating that the network lead is connected properly?
[04:01] <bofh80> dunn357, from what you pasted up there, your not recieveing or sending a damn thing on the cable
[04:01] <dunn357> http://paste.ubuntu.com/41107/
[04:01] <dragonjawz> omg
[04:01] <dunn357> there it is :)
[04:02] <bofh80> dunn357, yes as expected
[04:02] <dunn357> i was thinking i needed new drivers for the card, or something, it seems eth0:avahi is trying to do what eth0 SHOULD be doing, from my limited newbie experience'
[04:02] <bofh80> dunn357, can you report on the lead situation ?
[04:02] <dunn357> lead?
[04:02] <bofh80> dunn357, ignore the avahi thing, it's perfectly normal
[04:03] <djhash> the cable connection..
[04:03] <dunn357> o
[04:03] <dunn357> yeah it seems so
[04:03] <dunn357> lights on
[04:03] <bofh80> dunn357, are there lights on the router to indicate that you have it plugged in properly
[04:03] <Awsoonn> I need some help geting my mic to be usable in skype, I can hear myself speakign n my speakers but skype hears nothing
[04:03] <bofh80> dunn357, if you unplug, and plug it back in, can you see a little green circle appear on the network icon, in the top right hand cornor?
[04:03] <lenswipe> what is the default numerical permissions of /var/www?
[04:03] <dunn357> and i was on the internet , donwloaded iso and burned, then installed (all on what was my xp box, which is now ubuntu box) didnt change ANY cable connections, and now internet wont work (this is in the span of a few hours mind you
[04:03] <lenswipe> what is the default numerical permissions of /var/www?
[04:03] <FloodBot2> lenswipe: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:04] <lenswipe> nyone?
[04:04] <lenswipe> bofh80: what is the default numerical permissions of /var/www?
[04:04] <dunn357> lemme try
[04:04] <lenswipe> dunn357: what is the default numerical permissions of /var/www?
[04:04] <corhere> brettley: what type of backup? to cd/dvd?
[04:05] <dmsuperman> Whenever I try to resume playback after pausing with mpd (using mpc play) the client connection times out, and I have to kill mpd and start it again then everything continues on as if nothing happens
[04:05] <brettley> corhere: to USB harddrive
[04:05] <fookanen> here is what I have drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 May  3  2006 /var/www/
[04:05] <dmsuperman> mpd reports no errors, I used --stdout and --verbose even
[04:05] <brettley> and its backing up a windows partition
[04:05] <dunn357> bofh: no that does not happen, i see what ur saying now comp does not detect any connection
[04:06] <dunn357> i suppose
[04:06] <corhere> brettley: is this for backing up a linux machine or a windows machine?
[04:06] <dunn357> does it at least detect the NIC tho?
[04:06] <bofh80> dunn357, on the menu goto System > Administration > Network  pls
[04:06] <dunn357> ok
[04:06] <dunn357> done
[04:06] <bofh80> dunn357, does it list a wired connection
[04:07] <dunn357> yes, it does
[04:07] <bofh80> dunn357, press unlock
[04:07] <dunn357> done
[04:07] <dunn357> it was on "roaming" but i changed it to "dhcp" before coming here
[04:07] <bofh80> dunn357, does it say that it's in roaming mode
[04:07] <dunn357> bofh80, it was by default
[04:07] <Cpudan80> Where's the icon for gparted?
[04:07] <dunn357> but i had changed it
[04:07] <Cpudan80> Like what menu
[04:07] <bofh80> dunn357, ok flick it back to roaming mode. i'm not sure the green circle thing works when it's not :S
[04:08] <dunn357> oic!
[04:08] <bofh80> dunn357, it's like a newish feature, the next version of ubuntu has a better one now. well rather, an improved one :). network manager.
[04:09] <unop> !info hostname
[04:09] <corhere> brettley: what type of a backup? do you want to do a backup of just your files, or do you want to also back up the operating system etc.?
[04:09] <bofh80> dunn357, so yer, flick it back to roaming, ok it all, then unplug the lead for a sec, jam it back in a see if we get a fancy green curcle around the network icon hte top right
[04:09] <dunn357> bofh80, nothing on unplug and replug
[04:09] <dunn357> or at least, no circle that i noticed
[04:10] <bofh80> dunn357, tis a bit odd like. but the lights come up on the router. very strange lol
[04:10] <djhash> dunn357: type.. in terminal "sudo ifdown" then type "sudo ifup"
[04:10] <bofh80> dunn357, type in ifconfig, see if anythings changed . .
[04:10] <brettley> corhere: i want to make an image of the harddrive
[04:10] <dunn357> ok, the subsequent light [1] that should be on is not
[04:10] <bofh80> djhash, good idea, but will he have to take it back out of roaming mode for that to work?
[04:10] <dunn357> on the router, but the regular connection lights are
[04:11] <dunn357> since unplug and replug
[04:11] <djhash> bofh80: not really..
[04:11] <DOT3CH> where do i upload a custom splash download to
[04:11] <dunn357> ok
[04:11] <corhere> brettley: okay, you can use the "dd" command to do that.
[04:11] <djhash> bofh80: its for re-initializing the ethernet..
[04:11] <homecablee> http://joey.ath.cx/ test my site plz
[04:12] <homecablee> i need alot of popple to load my server
[04:12] <dunn357> bofh80, still the same ifconfig output
[04:12] <Pici> homecablee: Please don't.
[04:12] <bofh80> djhash, yes, although ifdown ifup seem to pee and moan in roamin mode i remember correctly . .
[04:12] <prince_jammys> !guidelines > homecablee
[04:12] <bofh80> dunn357, did you see djhash instructions?
[04:12] <fookanen> you may want to dd | bzip2 to compress since dd will copy slack space as well
[04:12] <brettley> corhere: and how do i recover it?
[04:12] <dunn357> djhash, did as you requested
[04:12] <bofh80> dunn357, type sudo ifdown  into a terminal and hit return . .
[04:13] <dunn357> just did it bofh80
[04:13] <homecablee> this isnt spam its a isp speed test
[04:13] <bofh80> dunn357, cool. anything happening?
[04:13] <homecablee> ty
[04:13] <DOT3CH> where do i upload a custom splash download to get it to work?
[04:13] <dunn357> it says: ifdown: use --help for help
[04:13] <bofh80> dunn357, ifconfig look any differnt?
[04:13] <dunn357> and thats it
[04:13] <bofh80> dunn357, oops my bad
[04:13] <bofh80> dunn357, ifdown eth0
[04:13] <bofh80> dunn357, sudo ifdown eth0
[04:13] <djhash> homecablee: you're better off at offtopic and/or networking channels
[04:13] <bofh80> dunn357, even
[04:13] <dunn357> ok let me try that
[04:14] <uoaphys> hi, does anyone know a way to mount or burn a .uif iso image? It says it was created using MagicISO...
[04:14] <dunn357> ok:
[04:14] <uoaphys> trying to find ubuntu tools to do it
[04:14] <corhere> brettley: if you are recovering to the same hard drive without changing the partition scheme, you use dd in reverse, copying the image to the hard drive. Are you by any chance trying to move your windows install to a new hard drive?
[04:14] <dunn357> ifdown: interface eth0 not configured
[04:14] <bofh80> dunn357, thats fine because it wasn't
[04:14] <bofh80> dunn357, now,   sudo ifup eth0
[04:14] <dunn357> ah
[04:15] <brettley> no im backing it up before a format incase i fail it
[04:15] <dunn357> returns: Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0.
[04:15] <Awsoonn> I wonder if I can get some help getting my mic to work with skype, I can hear myself on my speakers, but not in skype
[04:15] <Awsoonn> or Audicity for that matter
[04:15] <bofh80> dunn357, ok, System > administraion > network, take it off roaming, put it back on dhcp :P
[04:15] <dunn357> k will do :)
[04:15] <uoaphys> awsoon, never used skype in linux, does it have an option to use ALSA?
[04:16] <DOT3CH> where do i upload a custom splash download to get it to work?
[04:16] <cutandbrused> hello
[04:17] <prince_jammys> !usplash > DOT3CH
[04:17] <corhere> brettley: there are better tools than the ubuntu live cd for doing hard drive backup/restores.
[04:17] <Supercom32> Hey. Has anyone noted Ubuntu freezes after a few minutes of high network activity?
[04:17] <dunn357> bofh80, said changing interface config. and then did it, but i would like to point out that light for ethernet port [1] (the one ubuntu box plugged into) is still off, and light on the actual NIC is off (dont remember if that light exists tho)
[04:17] <bofh80> dunn357, the light on the router for the ubuntu box is off?
[04:18] <dunn357> ya
[04:18] <bofh80> dunn357, er for how long?
[04:18] <DOT3CH> prince_jammys: isnt their a GUI that i can pop up and just drag the new splash file into?
[04:18] <corhere> brettley: take a look at partimage http://www.partimage.org
[04:18] <Syco54645_AAO> wahoo i got the osd for the touchpad on and off to work on the aspire one
[04:18] <dunn357> pretty much the whole time i meant since i noticed it (as its seperated on this new router)  but the other connection lights (incl wireless light) are on
[04:18] <prince_jammys> DOT3CH: i don't know. i don't think so. check the howto in the link.
[04:19] <dunn357> shoulda have pointed taht out sooner sry bout that
[04:19] <bnalohim> Hi everyone... Im planing to buy a new sound card, if I want to spend 40 to 70 $ what brand or model do you recomend??
[04:19] <djhash> dunn357: that answers a question i asked 20 minutes ago.. :-P
[04:19] <bofh80> dunn357, righttt. . . well are you able to plug it into a different socket on the router, or try a different lead?
[04:19] <dunn357> ack so sorry!
[04:19] <dunn357> :C
[04:19] <bofh80> djhash, 0o yer no kiddin
[04:19] <dunn357> i thought it was on at first, but i was mistaken
[04:20] <corhere> brettley: When backing up/restoring windows, you have to be wary of the MBR and bootloader. Make sure you have a windows cd that has a recovery console on it so that you can restore the windows bootloader in the event that your comuter becomes unbootable.
[04:20] <zinake> has anyone had or seen an issue with PCMCIA cards locking up a system when they are installed?
[04:20] <dunn357> (brand new router, bought it like 5 days ago)
[04:20] <bofh80> dunn357, anyhoot, try a different port on the router, or a different cable ?
[04:20] <dunn357> ok will do
[04:20] <bofh80> dunn357, make sure to pull it outta the back of the pc and put it back in,
[04:20] <kindofabuzz> !intrepid
[04:21] <dunn357> bofh80, i odnt know if there is equivalent to "Device manager" on ubuntu, but is the NIC installed properly or does need drivers? this is similar behavior to when its not working
[04:21] <DOT3CH> prince_jammys: thats not what im looking for, i already have the package
[04:22] <dunn357> bofh80, changed router ports and unplugged, nothing.
[04:22] <dunn357> and replugged ofcourse
[04:22] <djhash> dunn357: type in terminal "lspci | grep Ethernet"
[04:22] <dunn357> k
[04:23] <dunn357> Ethernet controller: Realtek etc etc etc
[04:23] <dunn357> so ya  guess so
[04:23] <dunn357> thx
[04:23] <djhash> bad cable?!
[04:23] <dunn357> doubt it, was working 2 hours ago when i had xp on cpmputer
[04:23] <dunn357> donwloaded ubuntu on same box!
[04:23] <dunn357> before i installed it tho
[04:24] <dunn357> but il try replacing it
[04:24] <corhere> I am having aspect ratio problems with gstreamer with the xvimagesink, but not with the "no xv" ximagesink. Mplayer w/ Xv has no problems either. What can I do to troubleshoot this further?
[04:25] <dunn357> new cable: same as before
[04:25] <mneptok> dunn357: in a terminal .... "sudo NetworkManager &"
[04:25] <mneptok> dunn357: if the n-m-applet already shows in the top GNOME panel, then use it to select the wired network.
[04:26] <chuy_max> !via
[04:26] <dunn357> mneptok, lemme do that just a sec
[04:26] <chuy_max> !openchrome
[04:26] <chuy_max> !unichrome
[04:26] <_Zeus_> !botabuse | chuy_max
[04:26] <dunn357> gives me: [1] 17711
[04:26] <dunn357> in terminal
[04:26] <dunn357> w/e that means :)
[04:27] <mneptok> dunn357: do you see the n-m applet in the top panel now?
[04:27] <djhash> that means the program is running in background with a process ID of 17711
[04:27] <teethdood> is there anyway to manually turn the laptop fan on and off?
[04:27] <Supercom32> My location at "/lib/modules/2.6.24-21-eeepc" does not have a builds directory, so I cannot run "make". Since I'm new to Ubuntu/Linux I don't know what I need to get this to work for a compile. Any ideas?
[04:27] <bofh80> dunn357, the two little computer screens in the top right . . one in front of hte other
[04:27] <dunn357> i see the 2screens icon, when clicked takes me to "Network Settings" which was there already, if thast what you mean mneptok
[04:27] <dunn357> thanks djhash, got it
[04:27] <mneptok> dunn357: if you left-click it, can you select "wired network?"
[04:28] <dunn357> bofh80, yep thats it
[04:28] <bofh80> dunn357, yer, he wants you to actually click on the icon once, then click on the wired network bit
[04:28] <dunn357> then what?
[04:28] <mneptok> dunn357: wait for the magic.
[04:28] <perillux> ok,can someone please tell me wtf is up with this?:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/41110/
[04:28] <bofh80> oh dear
[04:29] <Vialas> q: anyone familiar with mysql, im having some trouble staring up a new database
[04:29] <dunn357> if i rightclick icon, i cannot get to wired network, however i can right click then get to the screen bofh80 had told me about, with Wired Connection.... PP connection... etc
[04:29] <mneptok> dunn357: i said "left click"
[04:29] <bofh80> dunn357, actually how far did we get
[04:29] <dunn357> however i can LEFT CLICK then get to wired conn, im dom
[04:29] <dunn357> dumb
[04:30] <dunn357> left click takes me to manual config, ye
[04:30] <dunn357> yes
[04:30] <mneptok> not manual config
[04:30] <dunn357> only option i got
[04:30] <mneptok> just click the 2 words "wired network"
[04:30] <perillux> I ran glxgears once.  and I was getting a consistend 390+ fps.  Then I closed it and RIGHT AWAY ran it again.  Then I was getting about 290 fps.  I went down 100fps!!  I didn't do ANYTHING in between these 2 tests.  I've also tried it about 3 more times after that first one, but I still can't get back to the 390 fps I was getting.
[04:30] <mneptok> dunn357: this is Hardy?
[04:30] <dunn357> which is consistent with the card not detecting anything i suppose
[04:30] <dunn357> mneptok yeah 8.04
[04:30] <DOT3CH> perillux: do you know to get the fishtank?
[04:30] <Killer--Tux> hello to all
[04:31] <fab3> perillux you changed the size of the app?
[04:31] <dunn357> bofh80, idk :)
[04:31] <mneptok> dunn357: pastebin the output of "ifconfig -a" and "ifconfig"
[04:31] <Killer--Tux> what would be a good video converter for linux
[04:31] <fab3> glxgears will give you different results depending on whatyou do to it
[04:31] <fab3> just try it
[04:31] <djhash> mneptok: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41107/
[04:31] <dunn357> thanks djhash
[04:31] <dunn357> yeah thats it
[04:32] <richiefrich> Killer--Tux: mencode ffmpeg mplayer
[04:32] <Kohlrak> Anyone know how to enable the french keyboard layout through scim or some keyboard manager like that so i can quickly switch between keyboards?
[04:32] <perillux> fab3: DOT3CH  ,no I didn't do a thing,  I typed glxgears then I closed it via alt+f4 and pressed "up" and then enter to run it a second time.
[04:32] <mneptok> dunn357: try "sudo dhclient eth0" (no qutoes) in a terminal
[04:32] <Killer--Tux> richiefrich where can i find it
[04:32] <perillux> DOT3CH: what is the fishtank?
[04:32] <djhash> mneptok: and "lspci |grep Ethernet" shows the Ethernet Interface.. and identifies it as Realtek..
[04:32] <richiefrich> Killer--Tux: install mplayer and ffmpeg
[04:32] <dunn357> ok will do
[04:32] <richiefrich> Killer--Tux: mencoder comes with mplaer
[04:32] <richiefrich> mplayer
[04:33] <DOT3CH> perillux: i think its called atlantis, but what it does is replaces the gears with fish and water
[04:33] <dunn357> No DHCPOFFERS received
[04:33] <richiefrich> DOT3CH: show im the youtube video
[04:33] <Killer--Tux> richiefrich how do i install that ?!? does it come as source ?!
[04:33] <dunn357> [1]+ Done           sudo NetworkManager
[04:34] <perillux> DOT3CH: it shouldn't matter... I ran glxgears for like an ENTIRE minuite and I was getting perfectly steady 390 fps.  Then I closed it and IMMEDIATELY ran it again, and it dropped down 100fps... wtf!?
[04:34] <mneptok> dunn357: pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces please
[04:34] <bofh80> mneptok, did we mention the light on his router is off for that machine
[04:34] <dunn357> last line ^
[04:34] <bofh80> dunn357, type sudo ifdown eth0     again pls
[04:34] <Anonym0us> Anonymous is Legion. Anonymous does not forgive. Anonymous does not forget.
[04:34] <perillux> fab3: DOT3CH: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41110/
[04:34] <richiefrich> Killer--Tux: i  suggest you read the wiki or some docs on installing..  apt-get  isone way
[04:34] <Anonym0us> Anonymous is the only page on partyvan.info that takes itself seriously.
[04:34] <Anonym0us> Anonymous is devoid of humanity, morality, pity, and mercy.
[04:34] <Anonym0us> Anonymous works as one, because none of us are as cruel as all of us.
[04:35] <dunn357> sorry mneptok, cant pastbin its a long and annoyting process to get that info for you but i can lemme do ifdown first
[04:35] <bazhang> Anonym0us, not here
[04:35] <Anonym0us> Anonymous cannot be harmed, no matter how many Anonymous may fall in battle.
[04:35] <Killer--Tux> richiefrich thanks ill do that
[04:35] <dunn357> ok bofh80
[04:35] <richiefrich> !install
[04:35] <dunn357> bofh80, got something different this time
[04:35] <richiefrich> !3rd party
[04:35] <bofh80> dunn357, k. kill process or somit?  now type   sudo ifup eth0
[04:36] <dunn357> there is already ap id file /var/run/dhclinet.eth0.pid ..... killed old client process removed pidfile
[04:36] <dunn357> listening on LPF/eth0/<MAC ADDRESS>
[04:36] <dunn357> sending <sae as above>
[04:36] <dunn357> then sending socket/fallback
[04:36] <bofh80> dunn357, any light on the connection at all?
[04:36] <dunn357> thats all she wrote
[04:36] <StratPlayer> is there something funky going on with the latest kernels? my ppp masquerading stopped working after updating kernel and rebooting... i've got a few years linux experience and i've checked the obvious things... ip_forwarding is on, nat tables have the masquerade rule (which is counting packets it claims to be masquading)
[04:36] <dunn357> o
[04:36] <Hamled> are there any ubuntu command line applications to monitor the current upload/download speed of a particular network interface?
[04:37] <fab3> not anything that i've seen on the networking end of things
[04:37] <dunn357> bofh80, same deal on ifup, but now its doing the DHCPDISCOVER thing again
[04:37] <fab3> is it a plain install or distupgrade?
[04:37] <richiefrich> Hamled: yeah
[04:37] <bofh80> dunn357, no light?
[04:37] <dunn357> none
[04:37] <dunn357> you think i outta just buy a new NIC?
[04:38] <bofh80> dunn357, it's strange, i don't think it would normally try to get dhcp unless the connection was up, which it aint, rather odd
[04:38] <djhash> dunn357: I doubt that the NIC died since you installed ubuntu
[04:38] <StratPlayer> networking works fine from the gateway itself... just wont forward packets for things on the lan behind it
[04:38] <dunn357> i can assure you im throughly confused
[04:38] <dunn357> :)
[04:38] <djhash> dunn357: are you on a laptop or a PC?
[04:39] <dunn357> djhash, i agree, but i believe there is some problem with it
[04:39] <djhash> deasktop*
[04:39] <fab3> StratPlayer money says its your config
[04:39] <bofh80> dunn357, maybe ubuntu is loading the wrong driver. djhash what was that command you gave him, so we can get him to tell us the exact realtek chipset
[04:39] <fab3> 99 times out of a hundred with that sort of description
[04:39] <dunn357> djhash, at the moment on a laptop, sitting next to the desktop that is my ubuntu box
[04:39] <StratPlayer> i can ping the gateway, and can ping the local side of the ppp interface from the lan
[04:39] <djhash> lspci | grep Ethernet
[04:40] <dunn357> the output from taht command:
[04:40] <richiefrich> Hamled: try ifstatus
[04:40] <richiefrich> need to install it
[04:40] <Hamled> yah
[04:40] <dunn357> 01:05.0 Ethernet Controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)
[04:40] <Hamled> thanks :)
[04:41]  * Makar[gone] leaving at: 10:40pm for Reason: Sleep/School
[04:41] <mneptok> dunn357: the 8139 works very well.
[04:41] <bofh80> dunn357, damn you couldn't get more generic, should work out of the box afaik
[04:41]  * mneptok has a few
[04:41] <StratPlayer> fab3: i'm using the 'ipmasq' package... but ive also tried flushing all the iptables rules and putting in a SNAT in the postrouting table going out my ppp interface and that didn't work either
[04:41] <Hamled> who was it that wrote the software that checks if a certain command is provided by some package whenever you enter an invalid command? That is super useful
[04:41] <mneptok> dunn357: did you play with firewalls, proxies, or any other such software>
[04:41] <mneptok> ?
[04:42] <richiefrich> Hamled: what do you want
[04:42] <djhash> dunn357: did you have internet on the liveCD?
[04:42] <fab3> StratPlayer its really hard to say.  i don't really feel like troubleshooting firewall and routing rules over irc
[04:42] <bofh80> mneptok, but surely that wouldn't stop the lights on the ehternet connection comin up
[04:42] <richiefrich> Hamled: you mean   apropros
[04:42] <fab3> StratPlayer do you have a working backup of your config?
[04:42] <dunn357> djhash, like an idiot i never tried it, just installed right away
[04:42] <richiefrich> Hamled: or dpkg
[04:42] <richiefrich> ?
[04:42] <mneptok> bofh80: it might if the software disabled the interface entirely
[04:42] <dunn357> mneptok i dont believe s
[04:42] <dunn357> so
[04:42] <fab3> are you by any chance running a vmware install and can roll back to a known working config?
[04:42] <fab3> beyond that its out of the scope of the chan for the most part
[04:42] <mneptok> dunn357: then i'd try another cable
[04:43] <bofh80> mneptok, now that would be a seriously hard firewall to crack ;p
[04:43] <Hamled> richiefrich, I just mean the aspect of dpkg or apt or whatever it happens to be, such that when I type "ifstatus" and it doesn't find that in my path, it checks the local cache to see if some package provides taht
[04:43] <Hamled> *that
[04:43] <mneptok> bofh80: nothing a plane ticket and a glass of water wouldn't solve ;)
[04:43] <dunn357> guys, on windows sometimes it would say the card isnt ther and id have to pysically pull it out and put it back in for Device Mgr to recognize it, i chalked taht up to typical windows annoyance, maybe there is somehardwar reason wit this for this however?
[04:43] <richiefrich> Hamled: doesnt mean it isnt there if it isnt in the PATH
[04:43] <bofh80> mneptok, been there done that, wore the tshirt. well he says' he tried a different cable '[  , but then to begin with, he said the light was on
[04:44] <mneptok> dunn357: the card is seated fine, or Linux would not ID it. try another cable.
[04:44] <dunn357> mneptok, tried that under the instruction of some ppl here
