[05:30] <boggieman> i see 640x480 rez
[05:30] <scarnia> i actually have 2.6.20-16 installed in my system (latest from edgy repositories)
[05:30] <werpo> thanks davy jones, btw, i have my ipod transferring songs from that partition to it, should i wait it to finish ??
[05:30] <Davy_Jones> boggieman: only?
[05:30] <boggieman> yes only!!
[05:30] <Myzrael> I have a question people. I want to fix my XP installation by typing fxmbr from the cd command prompt. That will take care of that problem but XP will kill my grub bootloader. Is there an easy way to get it back after a fxmbr?
[05:30] <boggieman> cant chnge highter
[05:30] <scarnia> i've read something about install linux-tree but i cannot find it
[05:31] <Davy_Jones> werpo: yes, let it finish.. then unmount it and remount it
[05:31] <Davy_Jones> boggieman: type sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:31] <boggieman> very hard to read the screen its sooooo small
[05:32] <boggieman> i typed (it /etc/X11/xorg.conf)
[05:32] <werpo> and btw, does anybody know how to make the xfce menus transparent without using beryl?
[05:32] <Davy_Jones> boggieman: in the menu go to Search > Find
[05:32] <Davy_Jones> boggieman: search for 640x480
[05:33] <series> hendrixski -- it says im in /root
[05:33] <boggieman> no files shown under 640x480
[05:33] <UberPsyX> help, a window popped up and said something about a restricted driver so i clicked ok and it rebooted pc and apparently theres an error with my xorg.conf and i need to fix it to get GDM on again, help, im new to ubuntu and have no clue how to do this
[05:33] <Davy_Jones> boggieman: in gedit, not in ubuntu
[05:33] <boggieman> ok
[05:33] <boggieman> lol
[05:34] <werpo> does anybody know how to make the xfce menus transparent without using beryl?
[05:34] <hendrixski> series, oh... I think this could be an easy one... you're not allowed to log into the GUI as root... Ubuntu does that for your protection
[05:34] <hendrixski> series, so you probably need to create a new user
[05:34] <boggieman> theres alot of 640x480 text
[05:34] <series> how do i go about doing that if i cant get into the gui?
[05:35] <series> sorry.  im command dumb :p  zero day linux user
[05:35] <Davy_Jones> boggieman: in the Section "Screen" part?
[05:35] <boggieman> anywhere i can send my txt?
[05:35] <squee> How do I make apache not start by default?
[05:35] <Myzrael>  have a question people. I want to fix my XP installation by typing fxmbr from the cd command prompt. That will take care of that problem but XP will kill my grub bootloader. Is there an easy way to get it back after a fxmbr?

[05:35] <Myzrael> and Just wondering. Is grub installed on the primary HD partition or on a seperate partition? I want to totally remove my windows vista C partition but don't want to damage a boot partition of grub.
[05:35] <Davy_Jones> !grub | Myzrael

[05:35] <boggieman> wheres pstebin?
[05:35] <hendrixski> series, though... here's a dirty trick... that you must promise me you'll forget.... type in startx and it *will* get you into the graphical frontend as root.  then create a new user, add them to the "sudoers" group, and log out of root, then log back in as that user :-)

[05:36] <Davy_Jones> boggieman: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[05:36] <Myzrael> thanks ubotu
[05:36] <Myzrael> You know the answer to my other question maybe as well?
[05:36] <hendrixski> series, you think you got that?  'cause I have to leave in like a minute or two
[05:36] <boggieman> will i get help in pastebin
[05:36] <Davy_Jones> ubotu is a computer generated dream world human

[05:36] <series> hendrixski -- ok...well the reason i wanted to be root in the first place was to install nvidia drivers....it kept telling me when i ran it that it had to be run out of root....how would i go about that without doing what i did...haha
[05:37] <Davy_Jones> boggieman: you won't get help in pastebin
[05:37] <boggieman> will i get help for it in pastebin
[05:37] <Myzrael> series you would run it with "sudo nvidiadriverinstall filehere"
[05:37] <Davy_Jones> boggieman: you can just paste some stuff
[05:37] <hendrixski> series, :-) you don't have to _BE_ root, all you need are root priveledges... which you can do from sudo
[05:37] <boggieman> dam- i kinda need the help now lol... eem
[05:37] <Myzrael> sudo "andherethecommand" gives you root priveliges
[05:37] <boggieman> i found the Section "Screen"
[05:37] <Davy_Jones> boggieman: did you see the 640x480 text?
[05:38] <hendrixski> series, for example  "sudo make install nVidia-drivers" will run that command with root priveledges, but you're not logged in as root
[05:38] <boggieman> and i see 640x480
[05:38] <Davy_Jones> boggieman: ok.. after the "640x480" text press space and insert "800x600"
[05:38] <series> hendrixski -- ok i think i understand....thanks
[05:38] <hendrixski> series, because being logged in as root is dangerous :-( and everyone here will tell you the same thing: don't do it
[05:38] <boggieman> it is outside the "modes
[05:38] <Davy_Jones> boggieman: in all the lines under Section "Screen"
[05:38] <unagi> i dont think wifi-radar works
[05:38] <series> hendrixski- gonna go try this now.  running back across the complex :D
[05:39] <Davy_Jones> boggieman: it should say Modes     "640x480"
[05:39] <hendrixski> series,   :-) hope that helps... I gotta go.  Good luck, and welcome to Ubuntu..  I'm sure you'll LOVE it... we've all made those kinds of mistakes, but the end goal is all worth it
[05:39] <cachapa> hi, I need help. I just lost the sound on my system and have been searching everywhere on the net without any luck, so far

[05:46] <teer2> Hi - what is a command-line tool for playing a sound file with no GUI interface?
[05:46] <arrg> ?
[05:46] <ritzcracker> what did i do wrong?
[05:46] <cachapa> ritzcracker: something about no sound card being installed
[05:47] <DBO> thanks Pici
[05:47] <Pici> ritzcracker: Ignore it.
[05:47] <liquiddoom> teer2: I think there's a command called "play"
[05:47] <ritzcracker> will the mixer still open though even though theres an error
[05:47] <Kohvihoor> has anyone used xfs filesystem?
[05:47] <Pici> Thanks DBO :)
[05:47] <teer2> liquiddoom: Thanks so much.
[05:47] <cachapa> it was sudden. I was playing around with virtual machines, and i made a mistake with the user groups for my account
[05:47] <ritzcracker> for example can u go to File, edit, help
[05:47] <cachapa> the problem with the user groups is now fixed, but htis came from nowhere
[05:48] <Kohvihoor> is there something to be worried about, if i format my one disc into xfs?
[05:48] <ritzcracker> even though it prompts you with an error
[05:48] <UberPsyX> i think i broke my x server and need help fixing it, i have no idea what im doing or whats wrong
[05:48] <cachapa> the volume control doesn't open
[05:48] <armyriad> You should've banned ubotu, too. He was spamming too.
[05:48] <peeps_work> is there a way to make a sudo command recognize the path of the user calling sudo?
[05:48] <ritzcracker> okay
[05:48] <ritzcracker> one moment
[05:48] <scarnia> Hi to all, how could i recompile my kernel (2.6.20-16) starting from the options it actually have?
[05:48] <cachapa> No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found.
[05:48] <Pici> peeps_work: What do you mean?
[05:48] <teer2> liquiddoom: Which package is it under?  splay ?
[05:48] <Dr_Link> Alright, I have a problem. I booted from the live CD, it worked fine, and while in the Installer, I got myself into the Partitioning stage of installation.
[05:48] <ramirex> hola
[05:48] <barbie> hi, i want to control openoffice impress via a remote shell(running on my mobile phone)... can i do so??/
[05:48] <Dr_Link> I had 4 partitions.
[05:48] <codesnik> tell me please, how should i install software, not listed in repositories. is there a way to easily create a package for anything compiled from tarball with sources?
[05:49] <boggieman> boggieman
[05:49] <peeps_work> Pici: i have ~/bin as part of my path, but when I use sudo to execute a script in that directory, it cannot find it
[05:49] <Dr_Link> Free space, NTFS, Fat32, and Fat16.
[05:49] <ritzcracker> try doing this
[05:49] <liquiddoom> teer2: no clue, sorry
[05:49] <ritzcracker> in bios, disable the onboard sound device, and start up the OS
[05:49] <Dr_Link> But the free space is labeled as only 8 megabytes!
[05:49] <ritzcracker> then once in the os
[05:49] <codesnik> peeps_work: sudo changes path to some "safe default"
[05:49] <ritzcracker> restart
[05:49] <murlinn__> Dr_Link: : one (if not both) of the FAT partitions are the recovery partitions from dell
[05:49] <series> is there a way to add a new user via terminal
[05:49] <ritzcracker> enable it

[05:49] <Dr_Link> :o
[05:49] <radhios> ramirex: ve a #ubuntu-lat o #ubuntu-ar
[05:49] <ritzcracker> and if it goes well the os should automadicly reinstall it
[05:49] <peeps_work> codesnik, can I override that?
[05:49] <arrg> is there any NTFS or cd burning software or usb massstoragedevice drivers that will work without  HAL
[05:49] <cachapa> ritzcracker: ok, I will try it
[05:49] <ritzcracker> the drivers for it
[05:49] <radhios> ramirex: este canal es en ingles
[05:49] <murlinn__> if you want to install ubuntu to your hard drive, your going to have to partition some space
[05:50] <Dr_Link> murlinn__: Ah. Well, in that case, where do I partition? Free space or NTFS?
[05:50] <arrg> or could someone help me fix it
[05:50] <liquiddoom> teer2: I don't have it installed >_<
[05:50] <cachapa> ritzcracker: if I don't come back, it's because it worked: thanks :-)
[05:50] <codesnik> peeps_work: i thought this is something compiled into sudo executable
[05:50] <ritzcracker> np
[05:50] <barbie> i want to control openoffice impress via a remote shell(running on my mobile phone)... can i do so??
[05:50] <murlinn__> the free space should only be 8mb or so, can't install anything there :p
[05:50] <teer2> liquiddoom: :)
[05:50] <codesnik> peeps_work: but maybe i'm wrong
[05:50] <peeps_work> codesnik, it didn't seem to do this on fedora core 5
[05:50] <murlinn__> what you need to do now is find a 3rd party partition tool and set aside some space from your ntfs partition
[05:50] <liquiddoom> barbie: can your phone do X? openoffice is a graphical application and needs X forwarding
[05:51] <barbie> liquiddoom, no i can run a terminal in my phone over bluetooth
[05:51] <series> can anyone help me with creating a new user via terminal?  i switched my user to root and now ubuntu wont let me login...can only get to a terminal

[05:55] <tcstech> Uberpsyx have you tried 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' ?
[05:55] <murlinn__> Dr_Link: do you have a floppy drive
[05:55] <cachapa> ritzcracker: errr... there's no option to disable the soundcard in the bios
[05:55] <Pici> j^2: What do you need to upgrade it to?
[05:55] <Dr_Link> ...No.
[05:55] <murlinn__> heh
[05:55] <Dr_Link> Just a hard disk and a CD+RW burner.
[05:55] <murlinn__> i have a free program i use at work, but its on a floppy
[05:55] <badar> Hey taime1 r u sing Fiesty ?
[05:55] <murlinn__> i don't have a floppy on my home computer either, heh
[05:55] <taime1> badar: yes
[05:56] <ritzcracker> cachapa: are you sure you said it was intergrated right? it should be in intergrated perhipals or however its spelld
[05:56] <cachapa> there's nothing like that in the bios
[05:56] <series> ritzcracker: the only thing i can get to is the terminal prompt
[05:56] <ritzcracker> what kind of system do you have?
[05:56] <UberPsyX> tcstech, well i tried sudo dpkg-configure -phigh xorg.conf
[05:56] <j^2> Pici: it seems that it's running like 2.0.55 or something, really out of date
[05:56] <ritzcracker> series: useradd usernamehere
[05:56] <cachapa> an acer travelmate 4020.. two-year old computer
[05:56] <ritzcracker> then passwd usernameyouused
[05:56] <badar> taime1, i had the exact same problem as u on friend's PC. Couldn't find a way to sole though :(
[05:57] <cachapa> it's a standard bios, but there are not a lot of advanced options
[05:57] <ritzcracker> so its a laptop
[05:57] <cachapa> yeah
[05:57] <taime1> badar: damn... i love vlc... and i only have this problem on this machine...i run feisty on others and dont get that problem
[05:57] <Pici> j^2: Yeah, that looks like the latest version published to the Dapper repositories.
[05:57] <ritzcracker> lol i hate companys that limit options in bios when it comes to laptops
[05:57] <j^2> Pici: i'm sol?
[05:57] <j^2> :(
[05:57] <ritzcracker> okay let me think for a second
[05:57] <ritzcracker> ill help ya figure it out
[05:57] <Dr_Link> murlinn__: Well, in this case... I dunno if I can install Ubuntu, I have free space, NTFS, Fat32, and Fat16 partition. But the problem with Free Space is that it says it's only worth 8 MB.
[05:57] <series> thanks ritz
[05:57] <ritzcracker> np series
[05:57] <Pici> j^2: If you dont want to upgrade, yes. Sorry :(
[05:58] <j^2> Pici: laammee thanks though :D
[05:58] <ritzcracker> What were you doing again when the sound stoped working?
[05:58] <tcstech> disregaurd the freespace Dr_link  it is there to conform to partition sizes having to be a power of 2 ect.
[05:58] <murlinn__> Dr_Link: you have to resize your ntfs partition, and when you do the free space partition will grow, then you can use that
[05:58] <cachapa> i was installing virtual machine software
[05:58] <cachapa> VirtualBox
[05:58] <cachapa> i think that was it
[05:58] <Dr_Link> murlinn__: >_> How?
[05:59] <tcstech> you really going to mess with partition sizes to regain 8mb?
[05:59] <zuzuzzzip> question: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=513534
[05:59] <cachapa> because i had to use the virtual box group to my user, but i made a mistake and removed the admin group
[05:59] <Dr_Link> .
[05:59] <murlinn__> i don't know of a free program that doesn't destroy your data
[05:59] <Dr_Link> tcstech: No. I'm trying to get more space under "Free Space"
[05:59] <cachapa> then i rebooted in single user mode to recover, and when i came back, i had no sound
[05:59] <Dr_Link> murlinn__: fdisk? >_<
[05:59] <murlinn__> that will work, yes
[05:59] <bimmelim> this morning my ubuntu desktop claimed that processor scaling ( setting frequency ) was not present. It worked fine the other day, but now the relevant /sys directories are gone. How do I fix this?
[05:59] <ritzcracker> okay do this boot into prompt instead of GDM
[05:59] <murlinn__> but you will lose all your data
[05:59] <ritzcracker> and as root startx
[05:59] <ritzcracker> see if your sound works as root
[05:59] <cachapa> ok
[05:59] <cachapa> brb
[05:59] <Dr_Link> ...murlinn__: Aww DAMMIT.
[05:59] <murlinn__> :\
[06:00] <caner> hey i cant make bmc4310 wireless driver work. i ve installed a driver via nidswrapper. but in the ui of ndiswrapper there writes hardware present:no
[06:00] <tcstech> Ahh  ..  well then..  best thing to do is to defrag the ntfs partition in windows and then run qtparted when back in ubuntu..
[06:00] <caner> is there a way to get bcm4310 to work (feisty amd64)
[06:00] <murlinn__> Dr_Link: are you seriously thinking about having ubuntu as your main os?
[06:00] <caner> i am about to cry
[06:00] <tcstech> its as easy as right click the ntfs part and select resize.
[06:00] <Dr_Link> I want it as a second OS, NOT a main one.
[06:00] <murlinn__> hmm
[06:01] <marcos> podes crer
[06:01] <murlinn__> if it was me, i'd just delete your fat32 and fat16 partitions, just make sure you have a windows install cd somewhere in case you ever have to reinstall
[06:01] <HEP85> !compiz
[06:01] <Wayah> I need noobie help with setting up my sound on ubuntu
[06:01] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[06:01] <UberPsyX> tcstech, nope that didnt work
[06:01] <Dr_Link> I have an older Windows XP install...
[06:01] <marcos> !beryl
[06:01] <pike__> Wayah: ?
[06:01] <ubotu> beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. Help in #ubuntu-effects
[06:01] <Dr_Link> but I'm scared to delete those partitions.
[06:02] <pike__> Wayah: its prob just a setting in alsamixer like the volume is turned down and whatnot
[06:02] <murlinn__> dell basically copies the install cd to that partition anyway, and adds drivers and such for your hardware
[06:02] <murlinn__> if you have the actual cd, i'd just use that
[06:02] <tcstech> qtparted would not let you resize the ntfs partition?
[06:02] <Wayah> I have the newest install of ubuntu but sound is only coming out of the right channel of my laptop
[06:02] <murlinn__> this way you can get a sizable (8-10gb) partition for ubuntu
[06:02] <murlinn__> Wayah: your sound cable is only half way plugged in !!
[06:03] <Wayah> it is a laptop
[06:03] <Wayah> laptop
[06:03] <tcstech> yeah .. the 7.04 install CD should resize the ntfs partition for you if you let it...
[06:03] <murlinn__> well, i lose :(
[06:03] <Wayah> yup ;)
[06:03] <pike__> Wayah: open a terminal and run 'alsamixer'  you can use the arrow keys to scroll through, the up and down arrows to up volume and the < and > keys to enable stuff MM'd out
 if you have the actual cd, i'd just use that <--- For if I need to reinstall, you mean?
[06:04] <murlinn__> right
[06:04] <pike__> just run an mp3 while youre doing it or play a movie
[06:04] <Dr_Link> Of course, I do have the driver CD.
[06:04] <cachapa> ritzcracker: sound works under root
[06:04] <ritzcracker> thought so
[06:04] <murlinn__> then shoot dell in the foot for taking some of your hard drive space and dedicating it to something you'll never use!
[06:04] <cachapa> could it be that i'm missing some required group for sound, or something?
[06:04] <ritzcracker> your using the repaired admin to login to gdm correct?
[06:04] <cachapa> yes
[06:04] <Dr_Link> So it'd be safe to delete those partitions, since Windows runs pretty much everything on NTFS, murlinn__?
[06:04] <ritzcracker> now try this
[06:05] <murlinn__> i would, yes
[06:05] <ritzcracker> open terminal right now and add a new user
[06:05] <ritzcracker> login to that new user see if sound works
[06:05] <pike__> cachapa: if it isnt the default user created during install yeah. what does 'groups' command say?
[06:05] <murlinn__> boot back into xp, and make sure you only have one drive showing up under local disks
[06:05] <murlinn__> and if you do, go ahead and delete the fat partitions and let the installer use that space
[06:06] <tcstech> its a Dell Dr_link?  why didnt you say so... that is just utilities for dell recovery, diag, ect ..useless for a power user.
[06:06] <merlin__> t
[06:06] <cachapa> pike__: cachapa admin vboxusers
[06:06] <murlinn__> !!!
[06:06] <Dr_Link> power user, tcstech?
[06:06] <ritzcracker> lol
[06:06] <murlinn__> lol
[06:06] <pike__> cachapa: yeah youre missing some stuff
[06:06] <tcstech> its so they have something to do when you call their phone tech support
[06:06] <cachapa> eheh
[06:06] <ritzcracker> are you still using vboxusers
[06:06] <cachapa> yeah
[06:06] <ritzcracker> i see your problem now
[06:06] <cachapa> i should remove it
[06:06] <ritzcracker> well
[06:06] <cachapa> i uninstalled virtualbox
[06:06] <ritzcracker> if you want
[06:07] <murlinn__> yea, they have a program similar to remote desktop on it, that somehow goes through 90% of firewall rules...
[06:07] <IceLink> hey here
[06:07] <tcstech> "click this ...run that... its not covered under wrty srry... blah blah"
[06:07] <Dr_Link> HAH
[06:07] <ritzcracker> okay do the following ok
[06:07] <series> ritzcracker - i couldn't get that to work for me.  here is a more in detail explanation of my problem.  under user accts i changed my user acct to root directory.  now ubuntu wont let me login...it keeps kicking me back out to the login screen.  so i change session to "failsafe terminal session" as that is the only way I can even get to anything.  using the commands u recommended i still could not establish a new user so that i would h
[06:07] <IceLink> i've got a problem with ndiswrapper...
[06:07] <Dr_Link> I don't trust tech support.
[06:07] <sapuro> Dr_Link hey r u still here?
[06:08] <bullgard4> What is the most common use of the D program packe 'trac'?
[06:08] <Cleri1> hi my firefox just crashed, how can i get rid of the window i.e. 'CTRL+ALT+DEL' equivalent?
[06:08] <tcstech> <-- is a tech  (but not for Dell (but fixes them daily))
[06:08] <Dr_Link> Yeah.
[06:08] <ritzcracker> whatever editing program you use
[06:08] <sapuro> Dr_Link did u manage to get the F12 to the multi-boot options?
[06:08] <Dr_Link> Yep.
[06:08] <murlinn__> <-- is also a tech, but not for dell, for a college
[06:08] <ritzcracker> go to /etc/passwd
[06:08] <IceLink> after upgrading to feisty, it worked(!), after reusing my wlan-stick, it didn't work until i 'killed' prism2_usb, then i reused the stick again and it doesnt' work anyway, the msg does not change: "driver installed, hardware present (alternate driver: prism2_usb)
[06:08] <ritzcracker> be careful
[06:08] <tcstech> CTRL+ALT+ESC should start xkill
[06:08] <bullgard4> What is the most common use of the DEB program package 'trac'?
[06:08] <Dr_Link> That's how I got LiveCD to work.
[06:08] <cachapa> so uhhh.. what groups should i add?
[06:08] <ritzcracker> where you see the user admin
[06:08] <Dr_Link> Alright,
[06:08] <genii> series: You need to revert the home dir for that user back to it's defaults. It can't run X because nothing in root's dir can be used by that name
[06:08] <belgarath_> Anyone know the difference between Geforce7600 GS and Geforce 7600 GT ?
[06:09] <tcstech> then click the stuck window... program dies... muhaha ha
[06:09] <ritzcracker> change virtualbox
[06:09] <ritzcracker> to admin
[06:09] <series> genii -- anyway to do that via the terminal
[06:09] <cachapa> and how do I remove the vboxusers group?
[06:09] <Wayah> pike_ look at your PM please
[06:09] <nullset> what should i get if i log in to another console
[06:09] <nullset> and then become root
[06:09] <genii> series: Yes. Can you get actual root login?
[06:09] <cachapa> ritzcracker: I already have admin
[06:09] <Dr_Link> Yep.
[06:09] <nullset> and type /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[06:09] <ritzcracker> you have one admin right
[06:09] <ritzcracker> its the first set then it goes something like
[06:09] <genii> series: Or, can you login your normal name just not into the gui
[06:09] <empireeed> can i get some help? i had an old asus video card in my computer, i just installed an NVidia card (128MB) cause i heard it was supported, but the GUI failed and now im in a DOS screen..
[06:10] <sapuro> Dr_link ok
[06:10] <ritzcracker> :x:1000x100:virtualbox
[06:10] <Dr_Link> Turns out, the only drive I've got under Local Disk is C:, the NTFS drive.
[06:10] <series> genii-  when i login via failsafe terminal session it says im in root directory
[06:10] <sapuro> Dr_Link ok
[06:10] <tcstech> cleri1 did you try xkill on it?
[06:10] <empireeed> is there an easy way to get ubutu to reload and get my video driver installed
[06:10] <nullset> what should be the output ??
[06:10] <ritzcracker> for example
[06:10] <murlinn__> wipe the fat partitions !!!
[06:10] <cachapa> ritzcracker: can you tell me what file i should be editting?
[06:10] <pike__> empireeed: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and choose NV driver
[06:10] <series> genii-- im logging in via my normal name but the gui wont allow me access...so i use failsafe terminal session.  just need ot know how to change the directory back
[06:10] <ritzcracker> the file is
[06:10] <Dr_Link> So it should be safe to delete the Fat16 and Fat32 partitions, right murlinn__?
[06:10] <ritzcracker> /etc/shadow
[06:10] <cachapa> i forgot the filename and path :P
[06:10] <murlinn__> yeup
[06:10] <Dr_Link> Alright
[06:10] <ritzcracker> i mean
[06:10] <ritzcracker> grr
[06:10] <ritzcracker> /etc/passwd
[06:11] <Dr_Link> time to reboot into Ubuntu.
[06:11] <pike__> empireeed: then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart to bring gui back
[06:11] <genii> series: OK. So do: mount -a -o rw
[06:11] <ritzcracker> in there look for your user admin
[06:11] <ritzcracker> let me know when you see it
[06:11] <cachapa> uhh
[06:12] <cachapa> can't find a user admin
[06:12] <genii> series: The you should be able to write to files again. Then you need to run the vipw command and change the home dir in there to the proper home dir for that name.
[06:12] <ritzcracker> you dont see a user admin in /etc/passwd
[06:12] <empireeed> pike > thank you, but now it wants the size of my video card in kB and its a 128
[06:12] <congtu> holy cow! this room is huge
[06:12] <werpo> Thanks to everybody who helped me here!!!
[06:12] <empireeed> would that be 128 000?
[06:12] <cachapa> ritzcracker: no
[06:12] <congtu> why there are so many people use ubuntu
[06:12] <congtu> :D
[06:12] <sapuro> congtu cause ubuntu rocks :D
[06:12] <congtu> ehehehe
[06:12] <ritzcracker> hit me up in private msg
[06:12] <cachapa> cat /etc/passwd |grep admin
[06:12] <cachapa> gnats:x:41:41:Gnats Bug-Reporting System (admin):/var/lib/gnats:/bin/sh
[06:13] <cachapa> i don't know how to private
[06:13] <genii> series: The vipw command uses some odd keystrokes.   If you mess up exit without saving by:  :q!
[06:13] <cachapa> this is a weird irc client :P
[06:13] <ritzcracker> i just msg you
[06:13] <cachapa> ok
[06:13] <genii> series: Otherwise just use    :q      if the edit was not messed up
[06:13] <series> genii - saying "only root can do that"
[06:14] <genii> series so issue the command with sudo in front
[06:14] <ritzcracker> cachapa: do you any messanger aside from irc
[06:14] <cachapa> msn
[06:14] <ritzcracker> hit me up<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[06:14] <ritzcracker> ill be on ine a second
[06:14] <cachapa> ok tnx
[06:15] <genii> series: If you did not do the mount -a -o rw     with sudo   it should have given you some error message also
[06:15] <series> genii
[06:15] <pike__> empireeed: choose the option to let it detect it. (leave it blank)
[06:15] <series> i did sudo mount -a -o rw -- it just gave me terminal line again
[06:15] <empireeed> PIKE THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
[06:16] <empireeed> it worked, now loaded. should i get a custom driver now? or leave the generic nvidia?
[06:16] <pike__> empireeed: bear in mind this is the open source driver. for 3d youd do the command sudo apt-get isntall nvidia-glx; sudo nvidia-xconfig    <-- or use the nvidia-glx-new or legacy.
[06:17] <pike__> empireeed: id get the nvidia driver myself. i like them fps games
[06:17] <genii> series: So then just do the:    sudo vipw             then, edit the home dir to the proper one, and exit with    :qw   or   :q   so it confirms overwriting. If you mess up the edit, exit with   :q!  instead and reissue the   sudo vipw
[06:17] <pike__> empireeed: nv is fine for 2d though.
[06:17] <genii> work, AFK 1-2 mins
[06:17] <empireeed> i just wanted to use WINE for poker games.
[06:17] <pike__> empireeed: youre good then
[06:17] <empireeed> i got world of warcraft too.
[06:17] <empireeed> never played before but i just got it.
[06:18] <pike__> lol just remember the dpkg-reconfigure command to go back to nv if you get in trouble
[06:18] <empireeed> ill load the other one, i got my wireless usb adapter loaded, i love this ubuntu, just need to get more familiar.
[06:18] <empireeed> i wrote it down thanks
[06:19] <DBO> empireeed, just in case... there is a program called irssi, it will let you get on IRC from a text console to get help
[06:19] <Wayah> if there is anyone that can tell a noobie how to get my sound to work please pm me
[06:19] <DBO> empireeed, we dont want to lose you over some silly driver issue =)
[06:19] <DBO> Wayah, you want private help?
[06:19] <empireeed> il get that now, thanks DBO

[06:22] <Ditiris> I can't install from a CD-ROM.  I get "bash: ./xinfo: Permission denied" even though I have execute permission for all files on the CD-ROM.    If you have not logged out yourself, this could mean that there is some installation problem or that you may be out of diskspace.  Try logging in with one of the failsafe sessions to see if you can fix this problem

[06:28] <awg> hi all.  quick question about upgrading: i'm currently on dapper, and would like to upgrade to feisty.  is there a recommended upgrade path, or will a direct upgrade work fine?
[06:29] <pike__> !upgrade | awg
[06:29] <KokoBoko> when ive tried to install skype it writes me back libasound2 >1.0.12 libc6>2.3.6-6
[06:29] <ubotu> awg: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[06:29] <armyriad> I got error 17 while loading GRUB. How do I fix this?
[06:29] <KokoBoko> when ive tried to install skype it writes me back libasound2 >1.0.12 libc6>2.3.6-6
[06:29] <pike__> awg: i upgraded to edgy then feisty as the jump straight to feisty caused badness
[06:30] <awg> pike__: thanks.  i'll probably do that, to be safe.
[06:30] <KokoBoko> when ive tried to install skype it writes me back libasound2 >1.0.12 libc6>2.3.6-6
[06:30] <KokoBoko> will someone help me?

[06:31] <YoshiBishi> whats wrong with this OS =_=
[06:31] <pike__> KokoBoko: i often get around that by making a symlink to the old lib named the lib version its looking for. thats a lazy way
[06:31] <teiwaz_idle> greetings all

[06:32] <KokoBoko> im noob
[06:32] <KokoBoko> in linux

[06:33] <cabrioleur> KokoBoko, go to unofficial faq for ubuntu. http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty
[06:33] <teiwaz_idle> anyone know of a way to tunnel a full xwindow session over ssh?  I can run specific commands which work, but I'm looking for a whole xwindow session that's tunneled
[06:33] <KokoBoko> and?
[06:34] <pike__> KokoBoko: what is the version in /usr/lib you get when you 'locate libasound' in a terminal. btw i never had any issue installing skype
[06:34] <YoshiBishi> Hello, I just changed my splash screen and login window, now beryl doesnt run and half a dozen other things seem to be messed up.
[06:34] <teiwaz_idle> I've used xdmcp, but that's not secure, so I don't want to open it to wan-side connections
[06:34] <cabrioleur> And the instruction is up there.
[06:34] <finalbeta> KokoBoko: http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/
[06:34] <KokoBoko> finalbeta
[06:34] <YoshiBishi> ...
[06:34] <KokoBoko> i downloaded the file

[06:35] <KokoBoko> it writes me back an error
[06:35] <teiwaz_idle> I've also gotten the ssh tunnel working lan side, so I know it can be done, I'm just having trouble finding which additional ports to open
[06:35] <riko_> solo
[06:35] <pike__> KokoBoko: you following these instructions? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype
[06:36] <KokoBoko> yes
[06:37] <KokoBoko> 1 second to copy u what it writes me
[06:37] <teiwaz_idle> hrm... anyone have any ideas where else to look for help?  yes, I've RTFM, and googled for all I'm worth
[06:37] <pike__> KokoBoko: open a terminal and type 'locate libasound | grep /usr/lib' what does it say?
[06:37] <Cleric> when i use the terminal, i can type commands but when it asks for my password, i cant type any letters
[06:38] <pike__> Cleric: it doesnt echo them but it will work just type and hit enter
[06:38] <stanthecaddy22> Cleric: are you sure? when typing passwords it doesnt show any characters but it is being typed
[06:38] <genii> teiwaz_idle: What is your exact issue again?
[06:39] <KokoBoko> pike__ /usr/lib/libasound.so.2
[06:39] <KokoBoko> /usr/lib/libasound.so.2.0.0
[06:39] <teiwaz_idle> basically, I'm trying to get a full xwindow session over ssh'
[06:39] <dakira> hey.. any wifi pros here?

[06:39] <genii> teiwaz_idle: OK, lemme poke around

[06:41] <KokoBoko> cabrioleur
[06:41] <KokoBoko> how to do it?
[06:42] <cabrioleur> type in terminal: sudo apt-get install libasound2
[06:42] <teiwaz_idle> I saw that, but it looked like freenx either wouldn't run on ubuntu, or I couldn't connect from windows (I forget which, but I know I've tried it)

[06:42] <dakira> I've got a dlink (pci) card with an atheros chipset, so I'm  using the madwifi driver. the interface wlan0 and the virtual interface ath0 have been automatically created. networkmanager won't allow me to connect to a wpa protected network. since I had this problem on another box where deactivating NM and just using /etc/network/interfaces helped, I did the same here. No dice.. I can't connect to the network. Also there is a funny ath0:avahi
[06:42] <dakira> interface which seems to interfer with the ath0 interface.. any clues?
[06:42] <Xecuter88> has anyone got the same problem?

[06:43] <Cleric> can anyone help me install java - im having issues with the terminal
[06:43] <Aeudian> Is there a way when using smbclient to connect to a server 2003, to take the smb share that you connect to and map it to a drive name on your desktop?
[06:43] <teiwaz_idle> yeah
[06:43] <teiwaz_idle> use cifs
[06:43] <teiwaz_idle> you trying to do it secure or not?
[06:43] <gubluntu> how do i open applications on another logged in user when remotely connected via ssh?
[06:43] <j3g> is there a easy way to update an installation withtout directly using the network? (like using pen drives or cds)
[06:44] <gubluntu> like firefox DISPLAY=somethinsomething ?
[06:44] <j3g> s/withtout/without
[06:44] <KokoBoko> cabrioleur ideas ?
[06:44] <teiwaz_idle> secure involves creating credentials, if unsecured, you can just manually type in username and pass in /etc/fstab
[06:44] <stanthecaddy22> gubluntu: if you have the password type "su [username] " to log in as user then type commands
[06:44] <xtknight> how do i get a count of the number of lines in a file that start with XYZ?
[06:44] <teiwaz_idle> aeudian, that was directed at you, sorry
[06:44] <gubluntu> stanthecaddy22: i tried
[06:44] <gubluntu> stanthecaddy22: still says failed to open on display blah and blah
[06:45] <KokoBoko> pike__ ?
[06:45] <pike__> KokoBoko: can you pastebin the output?
[06:45] <stanthecaddy22> gubluntu: ah i see what you are trying to do, my mistake. I'm not sure how to/if you can do that
[06:45] <Aeudian> teiwaz_idle so there is no way of doing it under smbclient? or with mount? reason being i am looking for a generic way of mounting these shares on linux and on OSX but OSX doesnt have cifs
[06:45] <cabrioleur> xtknight: cat -n
[06:45] <amartolos> hey guys, is reiserfs more useful than ext3? i just do office tasks like word etc, maybe some movies
[06:45] <teiwaz_idle> smbclient has some errors
[06:46] <teiwaz_idle> I'm doing just that with cifs to connect to my windows 2k3 server
[06:46] <phoenixz> When I use the sudo command I get this: "sudo: cannot get working directory" any idea on how to fix this

[06:46] <teiwaz_idle> cifs essentially mimics smb as far as your server is concerned, so no worries there I believe
[06:46] <xtknight> cabrioleur, ok i can get the number of each line with "cat -n", however i need to single out lines that start with a sequence of 3 bytes.  looking at the manual for cat, that doesnt seem to be possible
[06:46] <pike__> KokoBoko: yes that will already be installed
[06:46] <KokoBoko> yes
[06:47] <empire360> when i type in gksu gedit /etc/network/interfaces it is no longer bringing up the configuration file. anyone got a suggestion?
[06:47] <B-rabbit> one quickii dumb question to ask guy's: can you have a laptop plugged in to your home desktop pc to create a network?

[06:47] <xtknight> cabrioleur, seems the correct command is cat file  | egrep "^AID" | wc -l   thanks though
[06:47] <Jack_Sparrow> KokoBoko: Could also be version number not correct
[06:47] <Aeudian> teiwaz_idle: so with cifs i am able to take the smb share and mount it as a drive letter and remove ti later on, cause it will only be used under VPN client
[06:47] <murlinn__> the easiest way is probably a camcorder...

[06:49] <cabrioleur> KokoBoko, what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[06:50] <KokoBoko> 6.10
[06:50] <noble> Why do IDE drives show up as /dev/sda  in Fiesty and not /dev/hda  ???
[06:50] <cabrioleur> Probably you downloaded version for 7.04
[06:50] <B-rabbit> Flameangel:but i have only one ethernat  socket in the back of my cpu which i use for my internet connection
[06:50] <teiwaz_idle> you can set who can mount it or not...
[06:50] <KokoBoko> ermm
[06:50] <KokoBoko> how to download for 6.10
[06:50] <DShepherd> noble, i think its a know bug in feisty
[06:50] <Jack_Sparrow> KokoBoko: It looks like 1.0.12 is needed and only 1.0.11 is available in the repo
[06:51] <noble> ah ok thanks DShepherd
[06:51] <DShepherd> noble, kool
[06:51] <xtknight> DShepherd,  noble, it's not a bug.  the kernel uses libata now which assigns SCSI devices to all disks attached
[06:51] <KokoBoko> so?
[06:51] <genii> teiwaz_idle: BTW you may want to look into FreeNX, it works over ssh
[06:51] <KokoBoko> explain me pls

[06:51] <Flameangel> B-rabbit: Ah i see, well the only way i can think of is to get a wired router and use that, but there could be another way...
[06:51] <teiwaz_idle> I'll check into it again, but I'm pretty sure I tried it.
[06:51] <cabrioleur> KokoBoko, skype for 7.04 needs new libraries, so you have to download older one or upgrade your libraries
[06:51] <xtknight> noble, nowadays UUIDs are used in fstab to refer to a device though.  you can type "blkid" to get uuids
[06:51] <teiwaz_idle> yeah, certainly wouldn't hurt to try again, thanks much! :-D

[06:56] <Tornado> can anyone help
[06:56] <imacmatt09> bye
[06:56] <tcstech> with .iso it will auto loop\

[06:56] <Funcan> Hi. I'm possibly being dense, but Feisty is the latest stable, but what are unstable & testing ATM?
[06:56] <DShepherd> Tornado, i think you can reconfigure the xserver. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. hopefully with gusty this will be better
[06:56] <xtknight> |^marky^|, to do the other formats you'll have to find some other software.
[06:56] <ConstyXIV> Funcan: testing is gutsy

[07:01] <xtknight> |^marky^|, okay when you have spaces in the filename you must enclose it in double quotes

[07:02] <genii> xtknight: I was just gonna comment on the nrg thing there
[07:02] <ConstyXIV> |^marky^|: you want something called nrg2iso

[07:03] <Jack_Sparrow> DShepherd: You might go to the mfg of the laptop and see if they have more info on that camera
[07:03] <ConstyXIV> there we go
[07:03] <xtknight> |^marky^|, besides this, there are some other issues with your command.  you don't have a space between the image filename and /media/iso.  also /media/ISO <-- the ISO needs to be capitalized like at the beginning of the command.  and this is if you're using an iso
[07:03] <phiras> What's the wrong guys !!
[07:03] <cabrioleur> phiras, you need additional packages. It names them in previous lines.
[07:03] <DShepherd> Jack_Sparrow, ok thanks
[07:04] <xtknight> |^marky^|, even if those things were fixed you could still not use an NRG with mount (but i think you understand that, just making sure0
[07:04] <daedra> xtknight: capitalised?!? not if the iso is actually lowercase
[07:04] <phiras> cabrioleur : but it should be installed with the current software
[07:04] <xtknight> daedra, no the /media/ISO mount point
[07:04] <|^marky^|> is there a site where i could download it
[07:04] <ConstyXIV> does anyone know if the camera on the dell XPS m1210 works in ubuntu?
[07:04] <xtknight> daedra, he didnt use the same dir as he made
[07:04] <|^marky^|> yeah i understand
[07:04] <daedra> xtknight: ah
[07:04] <Jack_Sparrow> armyriad:  We can get you back into windows without much problem, then you can try and fix partitions with the same program that you were using.
[07:04] <|^marky^|> it is just complicated if you are used to windows
[07:05] <Dr_Link> yeeeah!
[07:05] <xtknight> |^marky^|, at first.  then, it's just convenient :)
[07:05] <cabrioleur> phiras, are your trying to install it with apt-get?
[07:05] <|^marky^|> yep
[07:05] <Dr_Link> Successful Ubuntu installation!
[07:05] <Dr_Link> I am now enabled for Dual Booting.
[07:05] <ConstyXIV> and russian is confusing if all you know is english
[07:05] <omarel> hola
[07:05] <|^marky^|> nrg2iso  this software , is there a special site where I could download it
[07:05] <xtknight> |^marky^|, sudo apt-get install nrg2iso
[07:05] <ConstyXIV> |^marky^|: just install it from ubuntu
[07:05] <xtknight> |^marky^|, it is in the repositories
[07:05] <phiras> How can Iyes
[07:05] <xtknight> !info nrg2iso
[07:05] <ubotu> nrg2iso: Extracts ISO9660 data from Nero ".nrg" files. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4-1.1 (feisty), package size 4 kB, installed size 64 kB
[07:05] <phiras> yes
[07:06] <xtknight> !universe | |^marky^|, besides that you may need to enable universe
[07:06] <ubotu> |^marky^|, besides that you may need to enable universe: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[07:06] <ConstyXIV> apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, gnome-app-install, pick your poison
[07:06] <janeppo_> Dr_Link, congratulations!
[07:06] <Dr_Link> Haha!
[07:06] <Dr_Link> Now, I am curious how to get my Intel PRO set Wirless card to work with Ubuntu.
[07:06] <ConstyXIV> my old laptop had the most painless dualboot set up ever
[07:06] <drj826> On an Ubuntu Server 6.10 system I have 2 external USB drives connected.  They do not appear under /media.  How do I mount them?
[07:06] <|^marky^|> !EasySource
[07:06] <ys76> get yourself?
[07:06] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[07:06] <Dr_Link> So I can install XChat and get help directly insid eUbuntu.
[07:07] <genii> Dr_Link: I am picturing you rubbing your hands together in evil glee over there :)
[07:07] <Dr_Link> genii: \o/
[07:07] <ConstyXIV> it was already partitioned in two, i just installed ubuntu in the second partition and it worked like magic
[07:07] <junmin> hi guys, i got a problem of the sound now, i removed apt-get remove --purge alsa-base and then installed a alsa CVS version, and now trying to go back with the alsa-base deb, apt-get install alsa-base, but no sound, if i lsmod, i cannot see any snd*. somebody can help me please??
[07:08] <xtknight> junmin, i hate to mention it, but try rebooting?
[07:08] <xtknight> junmin, modules are loaded at startup time.  so that is the easiest way to do things
[07:08] <junmin> xtknight, tried already
[07:08] <xtknight> junmin, okay then reinstall your kernel image.  sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-image-`uname -r`
[07:08] <neuratix> how can i change the autocorrection-language in gnome?
[07:09] <drj826> On an Ubuntu Server 6.10 system I have 2 external USB drives connected.  They do not appear under /media.  How do I mount them?
[07:09] <|^marky^|> pfff complicated
[07:09] <act1v8> Hello!
[07:09] <B-rabbit> hi
[07:09] <Xecuter88> cabrioleur, nope not working
[07:09] <daedra> linux!=windows
[07:09] <junmin> xtknight,  oh .. installing now
[07:09] <act1v8> I'm having some problems starting Ubuntu 7.04 as a LiveCD on a laptop.
[07:09] <janeppo_> windows := linux
[07:09] <act1v8> The screen is black after the bootsplash
[07:10] <act1v8> if I boot into safe graphics mode everything is ok
[07:10] <junmin> xtknight, i go to restart now..thx
[07:10] <act1v8> help
[07:10] <neuratix> drj826: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mount/point -t auto
[07:10] <rafaelscj> act1v8, how much RAM do you have?
[07:10] <neuratix> ?
[07:10] <janeppo_> Actlv8, remove splash from the grub bootline
[07:10] <act1v8> rafaelscj: 512MB
[07:11] <act1v8> janeppo_: I can't. it's a live cd
[07:11] <rafaelscj> act1v8, you can
[07:11] <drj826> neuratix: sda1, sda2, and sda3 are firewire devices.  How do I find the USB devices?
[07:11] <iShock> Hey: I wanna use some sort of VM to run windows Vista from inside linux..Can someone tell me how/
[07:11] <act1v8> rafaelscj: how
[07:11] <xtknight> !vmware | iShock
[07:11] <ubotu> iShock: VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers
[07:11] <neuratix> drj826: sda4 perhaps :)
[07:12] <neuratix> no
[07:12] <iShock> xtknight: Which link?
[07:12] <iShock> Second?
[07:12] <neuratix> drj826: sdb and sdc etc
[07:12] <Wayah> I am rebooting... brb
[07:12] <xtknight> iShock, depends on what you want?  instructions?
[07:12] <rafaelscj> act1v8, I never did it, but you can find
[07:12] <iShock> Yes
[07:12] <xtknight> iShock, then yes..
[07:12] <janeppo_> actlv8, I had the same problem: black screen after two lines of startup messages, safe mode DOES boot.
[07:12] <rafaelscj> act1v8, there is a help option before start or install Ubuntu
[07:12] <act1v8> janeppo_: safe mode does boot... yes
[07:13] <xtknight> iShock, vmware server is used to manage and install VMs, and with vmware player you start those VMs
[07:13] <tcstech> ooh.. vm vista?  with their 3d desktop you will prolly have crap performance..
[07:13] <janeppo_> actlv8, for the live cd I had to type F4 and choose some explicit resloution, otherwise the screen would blacken.
[07:13] <drj826> neuratix: sorry, sda1, sdb1, and sdc1 are firewire devices.  There is no sdd1.  /dev/disk/by-path shows the 2 USB drives, but I don't know what device files to mount.
[07:13] <act1v8> rafaelscj, janeppo_: I think that XOrg can't recognize the resolution
[07:14] <act1v8> it can...
[07:14] <act1v8> uh...
[07:14] <tcstech> You should not have both vmware-server and vmware-player installed at the same time....afik it will not let you.
[07:14] <janeppo_> actlv8, what happens if you boot the cdrom, then type F4 before continuing?
[07:14] <empire360> hello, im running feisty and i recently configured my wireless adapter with the serialmonkey guide, and i must auto configure everytime i connect upon reboot. also, i am having problems getting the gksu gedit /etc/network/interfaces to open, it appears to be freezing...
[07:15] <act1v8> janeppo_: I am booting the cdrom
[07:15] <janeppo_> actlv8, ...
[07:15] <IceLink> he
[07:15] <IceLink> y
[07:15] <IceLink> i've got a strange problem with ndiswrapper
[07:16] <rapid> Hmm, I'm got a stupid problem.. I edit'd passwd and changed the user name of my current user to something else.. as i was going to move the home user dir after that.. now i can't sudo returning sudo: pam_authenticate: Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info.
[07:16] <act1v8> janeppo_: and it's act(one)v8
[07:16] <iShock> So...Anyone got time to help super much with VMware? I so dont get the instructions..
[07:16] <neuratix> drj826: i don't know how to find the devices on the server version, sorry
[07:16] <janeppo_> actlv8: ???? (-<
[07:16] <junmin> xtknight, working already ...thx
[07:16] <lillo> hi, I've a problem with php5-interbase package in ubuntu feisty
[07:17] <drj826> neuratix: no problem, I think I'm on the right path
[07:17] <Funcan> rapid: At a guess, use id to get your current uid, su to the uid, then try sudo?
[07:17] <bulmer> rapid maybe if you boot from liveCd and mount the hd where /etc/passwd is, then recover
[07:17] <janeppo_> act1v8, oooooh, sorry
[07:17] <iShock> So...Anyone got time to help super much with VMware? I so dont get the instructions..
[07:17] <empire360> i am having problems getting the gksu gedit /etc/network/interfaces to open, it appears to be freezing...
[07:17] <act1v8> janeppo_: well the VGA menu pops up
[07:18] <schigh> How can I restart ALSA without restarting my whole computer?
[07:18] <kevor_> Uhm, what happened if my whole /etc/init.d dir is gone, iv'e not deleted it, nor has anyone with the rights to do so entered the box...
[07:18] <bulmer> empire360: freezing? kill the process and maybe use vim to edit that subject file
[07:18] <act1v8> janeppo_: 1280x800 isn't there
[07:18] <janeppo_> act1v8, make a choice, I did 1680x1050
[07:18] <bulmer> kevor_: feisty?
[07:18] <rapid> funcan: by su to the id, you mean, "su 1000?
[07:18] <kevor_> bulmer: yes
[07:19] <act1v8> janeppo_: there is nothing like it!
[07:19] <lillo> hi, I've a problem with php5-interbase package in ubuntu feisty
[07:19] <janeppo_> act1v8, some choice, I don't think it matters much, but I'm not sure
[07:19] <bulmer> kevor_:  i believe it uses something different..
[07:19] <rafaelscj> act1v8, did you use widescreen?
[07:19] <act1v8> widescreen?
[07:19] <bulmer> kevor_: i cant think of the name off hand

[07:20] <act1v8> janeppo_, rafaelscj: um... dunno.. that's what I saw somewhere on Windows XP on the same machine
[07:20] <Le_F0u> when ive plugged it again
[07:20] <janeppo_> act1v8, so it detected my widescreen. it should detect your your screen's options
[07:20] <kevor_> hmz, i've a problem with booting, getting an error: INIT /etc/init.d/rcS not found?
[07:20] <Le_F0u> its not working

[07:24] <Anlar> alex_: right click, burn image to disc?
[07:24] <Le_F0u> like ive read on the help site
[07:24] <Le_F0u> cant get it working :/
[07:24] <james296> itis causing my entire screen to go black except the top left portion...
[07:24] <werpo> which card is it nullset?
[07:24] <rafaelscj> act1v8, did you try Ubuntu 6.06 live cd?
[07:24] <alex_> Anlar, tried that but makes it bootable so i loose the iso
[07:24] <james296> when I enable compiz fusion
[07:24] <Le_F0u> the led on the ethernet card is on
[07:24] <ollyF1> can anyone point to a definately workin guide to run feisty with full 3d acc on geforce 8800 ?
[07:24] <nullset> Werpo : its my intel 845 in built 32MB card
[07:24] <janeppo_> act1v8, so I guess I was just dumb lucky when I tried the highest resolution.
[07:24] <rapid> le_f0u: that means the actual cabled link is fine, its a setting.
[07:24] <Anlar> alex_: yes, it writes the image 1:1, which you can again dd etc from the disc if you want
[07:25] <act1v8> rafaelscj: I've got it... I'll try it after fedora 7
[07:25] <Le_F0u> yea the cable link is fine
[07:25] <rapid> le_f0u: what are you using on that network?
[07:25] <act1v8> janeppo_: yeah... :)
[07:25] <janeppo_> act1v8, last resort: try every single possibility.
[07:25] <werpo> weird, try doing a xorgconf again
[07:25] <lillo> what's the message of the command sudo ifconfig ?
[07:25] <Le_F0u> just setup a LAMP server about 3hours ago rapid
[07:25] <lillo> is there eth0 ?
[07:25] <alex_> Anlar, yes i know but thought that saved me some time next time ... so i dont have to burn it back to iso but i will do like u said
[07:25] <janeppo_> act1v8, I listened to the sound of my drives when booting with a black screen.
[07:25] <Le_F0u> it was working correctly..till i removed the cable
[07:25] <pike__> ollyF1: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new; sudo nvidia-xconfig; sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart    <- id think
[07:26] <rapid> le_f0u: looks like you shouldn't have removed that cable hey.
[07:26] <Le_F0u> lillo ive type /sbin/ifconfig
[07:26] <act1v8> janeppo_: I can hear it to... but the screen is off :)
[07:26] <alex_> Anlar, done thx bye
[07:26] <nullset> werpo : didn't get it ??
[07:26] <Le_F0u> there's only the loopback interface
[07:26] <Le_F0u> not the eth0 :/
[07:26] <janeppo_> act1v8, mostly it sounded quite normal, so I guess it's only the video not working.
[07:26] <Ditiris> Anyone have any idea why I wouldn't be able to execute a setup file on a CDROM?
[07:26] <Le_F0u> loll yea rapid
[07:26] <rapid> le_f0u: did you try ifup ?
[07:26] <kevor_> Uhm... i've no directories left in /etc/ ... how in the world did this happen/
[07:26] <act1v8> janeppo_: yeah
[07:26] <Le_F0u> no.whats the command?
[07:26] <lillo> ok you have to load the module for your ethernrt card
[07:27] <mikebot> How can I make a link to Trash on my Desktop?
[07:27] <thiebaude> i have a problem with fash in firefox
[07:27] <cyberphaz> any easy way to show dependencies that have no more uses? like where i removed the original package it had to install the dep for?
[07:27] <Le_F0u> can you tell me What?? to do lillo?
[07:27] <rapid> mikebot: err, right click on it, add to desktop?
[07:27] <lillo> use lspci command to view the type of your eth card
[07:27] <janeppo_> act1v8, same problem then, and my solution doesn't work for you, >:---<<
[07:27] <rapid> why has the module just become unloaded?
[07:28] <mikebot> rapid: Can't find that option.
[07:28] <pike__> mikebot: the generic linux way would be ln -s /home/$USER/.Trash /home/$USER/Desktop/Trash  but id use gnome or nautilus instead
[07:28] <cberlo> Hey folks.  Back again.  Having some kind of issue with "getent" -- I've followed the directions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto and can authenticate users from active directory; wbinfo -u provides a full list.  "getent passwd" only shows local users.  Any idea why this is happening?
[07:28] <CrazyTB> I'm on a new ubuntu installation and I have no flashplayer. Any suggestion?
[07:28] <CrazyTB> actually, I've been without flashplayer for about 2 weeks (when ubuntu has been installed here)
[07:28] <thiebaude> automatix
[07:28] <rapid> mikebot: pike's method will work :-)
[07:28] <Le_F0u> and then lillo?
[07:28] <ollyF1> pike: already did that, but xserver wouldn't start then. seems that the nvidia-glx-new still doesn't correctly support 8800 cards. i managed to use the driver by manually copying libwfb.so from the original nvidia driver to the correct location
[07:28] <Almindor> heya
[07:28] <mikebot> pike_: I use gnome, that will work?
[07:28] <Dr_Link> Guess what OS I'm on?
[07:28] <Almindor> is it possible to lock cd to be readible only by user who put it in
[07:29] <Almindor> ?
[07:29] <pike__> mikebot: itll work as a link yeah
[07:29] <SuziQ> is there a command I can use to see if my Mass storage device (not USB) is recognized?
[07:29] <Almindor> I noticed ubuntu locks mounts by default to users, but not reading
[07:29] <ollyF1> it's running now but i have the feeling that graphics are somewhat slow and choppy
[07:29] <rapid> le_f0u: i'd lsmod and see if its already loaded.
[07:29] <mikebot> pike_: Thanks.
[07:29] <lillo> wht's is the type?
[07:29] <Le_F0u> ok im going to do it n come back.
[07:30] <rapid> ouch
[07:30] <act1v8> the same happens with fedora 7, janeppo_
[07:30] <act1v8> :(
[07:30] <thiebaude> i have a problem with flash
[07:30] <Le_F0u> im not in front of the pc lillo.brb
[07:30] <mikebot> Can you make folder invisible in ubuntu? ANd password protected?
[07:30] <Ditiris> Could someone help me with installing a program from a CDROM?
[07:30] <thiebaude> #join
[07:30] <Ditiris> I get an error message when I try to run the script, even though I'm using the sudo command
[07:30] <Anlar> SuziQ: driver level "lshw", is it mounted "mount" at least
[07:31] <rapid> ditiris: "the script"?
[07:31] <Anlar> SuziQ: also,you shouldn't see any errors when you plug it in and do "dmesg"
[07:31] <rafaelscj> Ditiris, what's the CDROM?
[07:31] <Ditiris> rafaelscj: It's the Xilinx ISE FPGA Development CDROM
[07:32] <Ditiris> rapid: It's a setup script.  So I just do sudo ./setup from the CL, and I get sudo: unable to execute ./setup: Permission denied
[07:32] <SuziQ> Anlar:  thank you
[07:32] <xtknight> Ditiris, try sudo sh ./setup
[07:32] <iShock> Excuse me: How can I resize my current partition without using a GParted Live CD?
[07:32] <xtknight> !gparted | iShock
[07:32] <ubotu> iShock: GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type  sudo apt-get install gparted  in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[07:32] <xtknight> use built-in ubuntu gparted
[07:32] <iShock> Oh
[07:32] <iShock> kk
[07:32] <iShock> All u had to say
[07:33] <Ditiris> xtknight: sudo: unable to execute ./setup: Permission denied
[07:33] <Stormx2> Ditiris: Is it executable?
[07:33] <Stormx2> Ditiris: Try chmod +x setup
[07:33] <Ditiris> File permissions are -rwxr-xr-x 1 20230<PHONE_NUMBER>-12-01 18:09 setup
[07:33] <Stormx2> Hmm.
[07:33] <cyberphaz> anway to find dependencies you no longer need by packages installed?
[07:33] <Ditiris> is there some easy way to copy the whole cd to a temporary directory?
[07:34] <Stormx2> Ditiris: cp -av ?
[07:35] <act1v8> can someone help please
[07:35] <Stormx2> act1v8: With?
[07:35] <act1v8> with my screen problem
[07:35] <Anlar> SuziQ: if you see no errors/UNCLAIMED and stuff like that and it doesn't get automatically mounted for you, do "lsusb" and report a bug at launchpad.net so that they will add the usb ids to updates..
[07:35] <rafaelscj> act1v8, Did the Ubuntu 6.06 work?
[07:35] <Ditiris> Stormx2: Will cp -av * ~/temp work?
[07:35] <act1v8> rafaelscj: I'll try now
[07:35] <genii> Ditris: Actually in that scenario I normally make an ISO like dd if=/dev/hdX of=/somewheretemp/isoname.iso    then loopmount the iso
[07:35] <Stormx2> Ditiris: Yeah.
[07:36] <xtknight> Ditiris, sudo mkdir -p /tmp/cd && sudo cp -av /media/cd /tmp/cd
[07:36] <mikebot> Can you make folder invisible in ubuntu? ANd password protected?
[07:36] <SuziQ> Anlar: Thanks, but a newB here...what you just said went "swisssshh" right over my head
[07:36] <genii> where hdX is devname of cd drive
[07:36] <iShock> xtknight: I did sudo gparted...It will not allow me to do anything.
[07:36] <Anlar> SuziQ: :D
[07:36] <ollyF1> have a nice evening everyone
[07:36] <Stormx2> mikebot: Invisible? Put a dot at the start of its name.
[07:36] <xtknight> iShock, which drive are you resizing?
[07:36] <mikebot> Stormx2: Thanks
[07:36] <act1v8> rafaelscj: what good will 6.06 do?
[07:36] <Stormx2> mikebot: password protected? Not sure. Ask in ##linux maybe?
[07:36] <iShock> xtknight: /dev/sda1 (My linux partition)
[07:36] <xtknight> iShock, you can not resize a mounted partition so you will have to do it outside of your ubuntu.  easiest way is the GParted Livecd
[07:37] <iShock> . . .
[07:37] <iShock> You can do it on Vista :(
[07:37] <mikebot> Stormx2: OK, thanks
[07:37] <xtknight> iShock,  you can?
[07:37] <pike__> mikebot: if you want no one else to access it just chmod 700 foldername then only root and you can look at it
[07:37] <xtknight> iShock,  i doubt it
[07:37] <rafaelscj> act1v8, maybe it work
[07:37] <iShock> xtknight: You can
[07:37] <Stormx2> iShock: No, you can't.
[07:38] <iShock> Stormx2: Yes, you can.
[07:38] <Stormx2> iShock: No, you can't.
[07:38] <xtknight> actually you can.
[07:38] <iShock> I HAVE DONE IT. There is an option in drive management... Open Help & Support and search for resize volume
[07:38] <xtknight> in vista but not in xp
[07:38] <xtknight> seems dangerous anyway
[07:38] <Stormx2> Uhg?
[07:38] <Stormx2> Yeah
[07:38] <mikebot> pike_: How do I? do that
[07:38] <xtknight> i dont even know how it's possible
[07:38] <Stormx2> Seems like a hugely stupid thing to do - to resize a partition while it's in use.
[07:38] <xtknight> iShock, it doens't actually resize it during the OS, does it?  does it schedule a command to be executed and the next startup?
[07:39] <iShock> No xtknight, it does it right then
[07:39] <xtknight> at*
[07:39] <iShock> I have no ideah ow, but it did
[07:39] <xtknight> oh wow yes that is a bad idea.
[07:39] <Stormx2> xD
[07:39] <iShock> Microsoft did it
[07:39] <Stormx2> Yeah?
[07:39] <xtknight> microsoft does a lot of things :P
[07:39] <iShock> Buttcrap, where is my Ubuntu Live CD :(
[07:39] <iShock> Found it
[07:40] <iShock> Osht scratches!
[07:40] <Stormx2> Microsoft rip off millions every day, and we don't try to emulate THAT :D

[07:40] <iShock> How can I shutdown in a terminal?
[07:40] <Stormx2> nullset: A common cause is that you've been using sudo where you should have been using gksudo.
[07:40] <act1v8> rafaelscj: ATI Mobility Radeon x700

[07:46] <marti149> mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda
[07:46] <rapid> Le_F0u: you should type ifconfig and read that for a display of your interfaces..
[07:46] <genii> Le_F0u: Put more like:     lsmod|more

[07:47] <HHP2K> Hey guys, I'd like to know if there's an application that allows you to type directly onto the desktop, instead of using a text editor and saving a document? Just simply.. text that sits there, such as a reminder note or something?
[07:47] <curare> nullset: type:   ps -ax  | grep mplayer

[07:47] <Le_F0u> ok genii
[07:47] <curare> then type kill <mplayer PID>
[07:47] <act1v8> Jack_Sparrow: no... if I delete windows I can't get it back, and + the laptop will become useless
[07:47] <Anlar> HHP2K: tomboy, already intalled on every ubuntu desktop if you use for instance feisty
[07:47] <Jokk> marti149 mount: mount point /mnt/sda does not exist
[07:47] <chills> hello; can anyone help me regarding mlpayer? i hav been using it ; but this time i got a weird error :s when i play any file it goes "seek failed" :S
[07:47] <chalcedony> HHP2K: i have something called "sticky notes" that lets you make little reminders that sit there
[07:48] <Jack_Sparrow> act1v8: Why not just shrink up a couple gig and try dual boot.
[07:48] <rapid> Le_F0u: shrug, find the module for your card, rmmod it then modprobe it.. see how you go with that

[07:48] <act1v8> Jack_Sparrow: is shrinking safe?
[07:48] <HHP2K> chalcedony: I'd like it if there wasn't any visual overlay that the text sits on, just text.
[07:48] <nullset> thanks curare

[07:49] <chalcedony> i need to shutdown and reboot, if pressing the quit does not start the shutdown procedure, what do i need to do?
[07:49] <Jack_Sparrow> act1v8: You should always have a backup, but few people do... how much free space is on the windows partition?
[07:49] <Jack_Sparrow> !mount
[07:49] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[07:49] <nullset> Which is the best movie player for ubuntu
[07:49] <act1v8> Jack_Sparrow: I think it's 19.5 GB
[07:49] <chalcedony> Jack_Sparrow: hmm never seen anyone do that.
[07:49] <Stormx2> chalcedony: Do it from command like. open a terminal and "sudo reboot"
[07:49] <Jack_Sparrow> chalcedony: seen anyone do what?
[07:49] <erUSUL> chalcedony: 'sudo shutdown -r now' or press the power button
[07:49] <Jokk> !fstab
[07:49] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions

[07:52] <kevor_> all my direcotires are gone from /etc/ after doing an fsck, has anyone a clue what could have happened?
[07:52] <kevor_> and how to reverse it
[07:52] <Jack_Sparrow> act1v8: I understand the dilema, but working on partitions without a backup always has at least a slight risk.
[07:52] <chalcedony> atm i'm not liking it not being able to open a terminal window, which i would have done to make notes of what i was just told, for next time.
[07:52] <Barr1> How do i get the small network manager status icons to show on my menu bar?
[07:53] <HHP2K> So nobody has any other ideas for a text on desktop application? Tomboy notes isn't what I'm looking for, I want something that simply allows me to type right onto the desktop.
[07:53] <act1v8> Jack_Sparrow: that's not the main problem... even if I do that there is a 65-70% possibility Ubuntu or any linux distro not working
[07:53] <erUSUL> kevor_: fsck puts recovered files in /lost+found/ but if it have cleaned up (due to a disk error) all your /etc dir you'd better do a backup of your home and a fresh install

[07:55] <iShock> Jack_Sparrow: Iunno. How can I do that?

[08:06] <PriceChild> act1v8, apple crippled the protocol that itunes uses to share music.
[08:06] <iShock> PriceChild: (06:05:50 PM) iShock: wrong chan
[08:06] <iShock> Oh well
[08:06] <act1v8> PriceChild: oh...
[08:06] <hollandlucas> I always thought Apple was quite commited to Free Software....
[08:07] <genii> Apple made MacOS up to version 7.5 free

[08:07] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[08:08] <Sonarx> Hello! Can anyone help me with an image quality problem I'm having with Ubuntu 7.04?
[08:08] <irisblaze> hi
[08:08] <genii> PriceChild: OK
[08:08] <hollandlucas> Sonarx, what do you mean by image quality problem?
[08:09] <Sonarx> Well to be frank its difficult to describe. Images displayed appear at what can only be described as a lesser color depth than the rest of the ui making look awful.
[08:10] <hollandlucas> mmm
[08:10] <jimmygoon> How do I get firefox to use tap0 instead of eth0
[08:10] <hollandlucas> I've never heard of that problem before :-(
[08:10] <hollandlucas> Have you tried different image viewers?
[08:11] <Sonarx> Yes it appears in any image view, browser, even the desktop.
[08:11] <hollandlucas> mmm
[08:11] <hollandlucas> have you tried a different desktop environment like KDE?
[08:11] <Sonarx> I know it's not hardware as I've tried more than one graphics card I know to be good.
[08:11] <Solid> hi, does anyone know how to make a snapshot of a window every 0.1sec, and save each one in a specific folder, like 1.bmp, 2.bmp....x.bmp.
[08:11] <Sonarx> I haven't, however it was working 100% then, poof
[08:12] <hollandlucas> I'd try something like KDE
[08:12] <act1v8> why does safe graphics mode work but the normal thing doesnt?
[08:12] <fabio__|> very difficult question, how can i get the I/O ports of the cdrom unit? thanks
[08:12] <Sonarx> I'm sorry I have to go work calls. I will try back later.
[08:12] <hollandlucas> just to make sure that your GNOME isn't f****d up
[08:12] <rafaelscj> Sonarx, Start on sefe mode and look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:13] <rafaelscj> act1v8, Start on sefe mode and look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:13] <eallik> can anyone recommend me a virtual machine (such as VMWare, but free/open source) to run under Feisty?
[08:13] <rafaelscj> sory
[08:13] <hollandlucas> what's weird about his problem is that only images are affected, not his normal desktop etc
[08:13] <jrib> Solid: why not just record a movie at 10fps?
[08:13] <jrib> eallik: virtualbox
[08:13] <Solid> i want separate images jrib, this is for ripping sprites from several games
[08:13] <jrib> !virtualbox > eallik (see the private message from ubotu)
[08:13] <hollandlucas> eallik, yes. VirtualBox
[08:13] <Solid> eallik, vitualbox is great
[08:13] <eallik> what about qemu?
[08:14] <Jokk> how to install Automatix
[08:14] <Jokk> ?
[08:14] <PriceChild> !automatix | Jokk
[08:14] <ubotu> Jokk: Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[08:14] <ianmcorvidae> !virtualizers | eallik
[08:14] <ubotu> eallik: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu or !qvm86), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications
[08:14] <hollandlucas> Jokk, see: getautomatix.com
[08:14] <PriceChild> Jokk, what do you really want to do?
[08:14] <Jokk> to play avi files
[08:14] <PriceChild> !mp3 | Jokk
[08:14] <ubotu> Jokk: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[08:14] <PriceChild> Jokk, read that guide.
[08:14] <hollandlucas> if you're using Feisty it should automatically install the required codec
[08:14] <Jokk> can deal with it
[08:14] <eallik> which one is the fastest for running XP?
[08:14] <jrib> Solid: you could write some script that pauses .1 seconds and takes screen shots but I'm pretty sure your computer will become unusable (really jerky)
[08:14] <PriceChild> Jokk, if you're running feisty, just open the video and it will install the codecs for you
[08:14] <Solid> jokk, just install the w32codecs package, no?
[08:14] <hollandlucas> once you try and play an AVI file (btw: AVI is a container not a codeC)
[08:15] <Jokk> im with feisty
[08:15] <PriceChild> Jokk, just double click the video
[08:15] <Jokk> but it doesnt install the codec
[08:15] <hollandlucas> anyway, gotta go now
[08:15] <hollandlucas> cya
[08:15] <Jokk> pricechild
[08:15] <Jokk> it doesnt work
[08:15] <Jokk> ive tried
[08:15] <PriceChild> !doesn't work | Jokk
[08:15] <ubotu> Jokk: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[08:16] <Solid> jrib, sorry bad english. when i was on Win, i had a program named animget who could make those screens pretty quickly.
[08:16] <Jokk> off
[08:16] <Layer8> hi all!
[08:16] <Jokk> when i double click on the file
[08:16] <Solid> for the scripts, i really don't know, i'm a real real newbie here...
[08:16] <Layer8>  i have a workgrop entry in my smb.conf but cant find this workgroup in my network!?
[08:16] <Jokk> totem player opens but it writes that it cant play the file
[08:16] <PriceChild> Jokk, it will ask you whether you want to install codecs for it
[08:17] <Jokk> nope
[08:17] <Jokk> it doesnt
[08:17] <Anlar> if he has done that already, and it is some crappy intel indeo, ...
[08:17] <eallik> VMWare-player is freeware?
[08:17] <jrib> Solid: I still think a video is a better way to go and then you can pull out the frames.  You can use 'import' to take screenshots if you prefer (it's part of imagemagick)
[08:17] <PriceChild> Jokk, are you on x86, 64bit or ppc?
[08:17] <Solid> jokk, there is VLC media player too with
[08:17] <PriceChild> Solid, lets fix the problem rather than workaround it :)
[08:17] <Jokk> pricechild x86

[08:18] <jimmygoon> How do I get firefox to use tap0 instead of eth0
[08:18] <Solid> jokk, in the universe packages...
[08:18] <act1v8> ok.. last time... can anyone help!?
[08:18] <Jokk> whatever..
[08:18] <eallik> and what about kvm?
[08:18] <PriceChild> Jokk, Jokk I don't really believe you... except for various real media, ubuntu should install anything...
[08:18] <act1v8> I think that the resolution should be 1280x800
[08:18] <Solid> jrib, but how to capture only one window?
[08:19] <Pthag> Hello. A while back, amarok stopped popping an icon onto the system tray in Gnome. Anybody have any idea what could have broken there?
[08:19] <Jokk> pricechild if u want..
[08:19] <Pthag> It's only for this account, any other accounts I set up it works fine
[08:19] <fabio__|> maybe is there a way to know the i/o ports associated with /dev/hdb ? thanks
[08:19] <CydeWeys> Is this a DNS issue or what?  When I type one hostname into my browser, it automatically resolves to hostname.domain.com.  But when I type the hostname of my new server into the browser, no such resolution occurs.  We're on a 10.* intranet.
[08:19] <rafaelscj> act1v8, did you look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[08:19] <CydeWeys> Does this need to be configured from the DNS server, or is there some option I can change under Ubuntu?
[08:19] <act1v8> rafaelscj: yes
[08:20] <rafaelscj> act1v8, what resolutios are listed there?
[08:20] <act1v8> rafaelscj: and there are only three resolutions 1024x784 (or something sim.)
[08:20] <Dr_Link> I think I'll boot back into Windows now.
[08:20] <Skiessi> how often the repositories are updated?
[08:20] <vnese> !revolution
[08:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about revolution - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:20] <Anlar> CydeWeys: yeah, you should add it to dns manually OR enable dynamic dns updates feature on the dns server and your server
[08:20] <jrib> Solid: don't know offhand, try the documentation linked to in 'man import' or 'import -help'
[08:20] <rlount> CydeWeys, /etc/hosts until you have proper DNs set up.
[08:20] <vnese> !resolution
[08:20] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[08:21] <rlount> add your server there.
[08:21] <cheeez11> v
[08:21] <CydeWeys> rlount: /etc/hosts doesn't work for other people's computers though
[08:21] <cheeez11> hello
[08:21] <cheeez11> i need assistants with connecting my wifi
[08:21] <CydeWeys> Anlar: I thin kwe have dynamic DNS updates here, so how do I configure Ubuntu to work with that?
[08:21] <rlount> nope. you will need DNS for that.
[08:21] <cheeez11> i can't seem to figure out the ndiswrapper
[08:21] <rafaelscj> act1v8, http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[08:21] <cheeez11> i'm kinda new at this
[08:21] <vnese> Skiessi: almost every week
[08:21] <Solid> thanks
[08:21] <act1v8> rafaelscj: but how is that gonna help when my ubuntu is not installed
[08:22] <Layer8> how can I clean the smb cache on my gnome desktop?
[08:22] <jimmygoon> Can someone tell me how to use tap0 instead of eth0 with openvpn?
[08:22] <Anlar> CydeWeys: either by tuning the dhcp client, or manually afaik
[08:22] <eallik> why virtualbox provides both a closed and an open source version and why is the former non-free??
[08:22] <facugaich> how can I extract some frames from a vid to make a .gif?
[08:22] <CydeWeys> Anlar: I have static addressing set up right now though?
[08:23] <vnese> hello, how can i increase my screen resolution, although it s at its max resolution
[08:23] <rafaelscj> act1v8, Can you restart X sever when runing on live cd?
[08:23] <rapid> try ctrl+alt+backspace..
[08:23] <rlount> CydeWeys, you will need access to whatever is serving dhcp/dns and make changes there for your server to be included.
[08:23] <CydeWeys> Which file under /etc do I put the FQDN under?
[08:23] <Anlar> CydeWeys: yeah in that case you have to manage the dns server's record with some tool or manually
[08:23] <armyriad> How do I fix GRUB error 17?
[08:23] <rlount> /etc/hostname /etc/hosts
[08:24] <sp1nter>  is there a program that will actually organize podcasts
[08:24] <act1v8> rafaelscj: no... Ctrl+Alt+Backspace doesn't work
[08:24] <kub> how do I change the bash shell columns and lines to be different than the default 80x25
[08:24] <rapid> youtube
[08:24] <jrib> eallik: try #vbox
[08:24] <eallik> jrib: thanks
[08:24] <gordonjcp> sp1nter: rhythmbox?
[08:24] <rafaelscj> act1v8, it can be wrong vertical refresh rate
[08:25] <rafaelscj> act1v8, do you know the vertical refresh rate ?
[08:25] <jrib> kub: I think you can just pass --geometry to 'gnome-terminal' when you start it
[08:25] <act1v8> rafaelscj: I think i can actually: sudo killall Xorg works
[08:25] <act1v8> it restarts X
[08:25] <Anlar> armyriad: "sudo grub", then "root (hd0,0)" where the first number is counting from zero your hard disc and the second number is counting from 0 the partition. this is to where your /boot/ is! for instance hda1==hd0,0. then "setup (hd0)" using the same drive number but no partition number. and "quit".
[08:25] <act1v8> rafaelscj: no
[08:25] <sp1nter> gordonjcp: it doesnt seperate the podcasts just leaves them all together
[08:25] <kub> i'm trying to due it in ubuntu server without any gui installed
[08:26] <rafaelscj> act1v8, At boot screen, can you set other vertical refresh rate?
[08:26] <act1v8> rafaelscj: where do you set that?
[08:26] <jogis> hello how to set up irc server on my ubuntu feisty? plz help
[08:26] <armyriad> I tried that but when I entered in "setup (hd0)" GRUB said it couldn't mount it.
[08:27] <rafaelscj> act1v8, there is somethink like "boot options"
[08:27] <MonsieurBL> hi all. I'm looking for help with ubuntuAMD64 on my Asus laptop, does anyone know where to get support?
[08:27] <act1v8> rafaelscj: ok... and what do I change there?
[08:27] <jogis> hello how to set up irc server on my ubuntu feisty? plz help
[08:28] <fevel> Can anyone help me clean the squid cache or restart it...I modified a page in the server but the changes do not appear
[08:28] <rafaelscj> act1v8, the vertical refresh rate should be 60Hz
[08:28] <jrib> MonsieurBL: support with?
[08:28] <_KP_> i have a usb disk drive that I have formatted as ext2. When I try to eject the disk, I get two messages. The first msg states that there is data left to write to the device. The second msg states that it can not eject the volume. I have searched the log files but nothing jumps out as an error. any suggestions?
[08:28] <rafaelscj> act1v8, is there any option like that?
[08:28] <redhat9> how can you save files or keep changes when using live cd?? thanks in advance for people who help me out. thank you
[08:28] <Desktom> hi all. I have 2 interfaces eth0 and eth1. They have an ip like 192.168.0.x. I want to force the use of eth1 for routing to the <IP_ADDRESS>/24 subnet.. how do I do that ?
[08:28] <genii> _KP_ Put as mount option sync
[08:29] <_KP_> genii, i'll try that
[08:29] <MonsieurBL> jrib: my setup is getting better day by day, but I still can't get the integrated webcam nor wifi to work
[08:29] <genii> _KP_: Then it will always finish any pending writes immediately  when possible
[08:29] <kub> jrib, i am trying to adjust bash columns and width in Ubuntu Server without any gui installed
[08:30] <jrib> !webcam > MonsieurBL (see the private message from ubotu)
[08:30] <jrib> !wifi > MonsieurBL (see the private message from ubotu)
[08:30] <rafaelscj> act1v8, use hwinfo to discover you monitor's refresh rate on windows
[08:30] <redhat9> how can you save files or keep changes when using live cd?? thanks in advance for people who help me out. thank you
[08:30] <jrib> MonsieurBL: don't know much about either of those, but check out those docs
[08:30] <jrib> kub: oh I see, don't know how to do that
[08:30] <act1v8> rafaelscj: there is in safe mode an option for a refresh rate saying 61Hz
[08:30] <Desktom> hey all. I have 2 interfaces in the same subnet. How can I force my machine to use eth1 to communicate to the subnet instead of eth0?
[08:31] <rafaelscj> act1v8, is there only it?
[08:31] <act1v8> yes
[08:31] <rafaelscj> act1v8, hum...
[08:31] <_KP_> genii: that didn't work. mount options are (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,sync). any other ideas?
[08:31] <rafaelscj> act1v8>, you need the horizontal sync frequency (usually measured in kHz) and the vertical refresh rate (usually in Hz).
[08:32] <genii> Desktom: Reverse their entries in the files: /etc/network/interfaces  and /etc/iftab
[08:32] <Desktom> genii: thanks! will try that
[08:32] <rafaelscj> act1v8>, try to know it under windows
[08:32] <MonsieurBL> jrib: thanx for the links, any ideas why Camorama wouldn't see /dev/video ?
[08:32] <duaneb> is there a programming channel?
[08:32] <armyriad> I don't know how I did it but the GRUB error 17 problem was mysteriously fixed!
[08:33] <redhat9> how can you save files or keep changes when using live cd?? thanks in advance for people who help me out. thank you
[08:33] <genii> _KP_: not offhand. There may be some command to force sync now kina idea but i don't know offhand what it may be
[08:33] <_KP_> genii: what is weird is that i can manually umount the drive just fine.
[08:33] <jrib> duaneb: there's usually one for each programming language
[08:33] <jrib> MonsieurBL: maybe a permissions issue
[08:34] <soundray> _KP_: can you repeat what the problem is for me?
[08:34] <_KP_> i have a usb disk drive that I have formatted as ext2. When I try to eject the disk, I get two messages. The first msg states that there is data left to write to the device. The second msg states that it can not eject the volume. I have searched the log files but nothing jumps out as an error. any suggestions?
[08:34] <teratoma> which power daemon should i be using?
[08:34] <teratoma> im running 3 or 4
[08:34] <teratoma> or do they all do different things ?
[08:34] <Celtic> hi
[08:35] <_KP_> soundray: genii suggested I add sync to mount options. that had no effect.
[08:35] <Celtic> hello
[08:35] <rafaelscj> act1v8, at /etc/X11/xorg.conf there is a section called "monitor"
[08:35] <soundray> _KP_: hm, interesting one. Do you get the message about data left to write when you run 'sync ; sync' before the eject?
[08:36] <rafaelscj> act1v8, change it with correct values
[08:36] <act1v8> rafaelscj: wait... what command was I supposed to run in windows?
[08:36] <genii> _KP_ I just found an ancient keyboatd shorcut that may work for you.
[08:36] <genii> To "s"ync all filesystems, press "Alt+SysRq+s". You'll then see at the console:
[08:36] <genii> SysRq : Emergency Sync
[08:36] <genii> Emergency Sync complete
[08:36] <kub> anyone know how to change the bash shell columns and width in ubuntu server, no gui installed
[08:36] <rafaelscj> act1v8, Can you download Hwinfo?
[08:36] <act1v8> rafaelscj: no
[08:36] <_KP_> soundray: haven't tried manually syncing the disks. let me try that.
[08:36] <hendrixski> :-( sed is hard
[08:37] <soundray> _KP_: genii's suggestion does essentially the same as sync, although it can work in situations where no shell is accessible.

[08:38] <hendrixski> I'm trying to get sed to add text in the second to last line of a file
[08:38] <_KP_> soundray: doing a manual sync, and then an eject - I still get the messages.
[08:38] <w30> kub, In your grub's menu1st file put a "vga=<number>" line.  The number depends on what you want try vga=791
[08:39] <hendrixski> I know sed -n "$="  gives me the number of lines
[08:39] <act1v8> rafaelscj: I looked at it
[08:39] <soundray> kub: you have to add it in /boot/grub/menu.lst -- ideally to the line that begins with '#kopt='. Add 'vga=ask' to begin with, and enter 'scan' at the prompt you will see when you boot next.
[08:39] <rafaelscj> Monitor
[08:39] <hendrixski> I can't seem to figure out how to turn that into a line number to add in sed

[08:40] <darkfena313> hello how do i install an exe file?
[08:40] <_KP_> soundray: i tried ext3 first. when I got the problem, i thought that the journalling was the issue, so i reformatted as ext2.
[08:40] <jrib> series: use the restricted drivers manager, don't download from the website
[08:40] <w30> kub, if you put in vga=ask then the kernel will prompt you for a choice of listed mode numbers
[08:41] <genii> series: logout to login screen. then choose session type of terminal or console. then login that way. Run the program, when it's done type exit
[08:41] <jrib> darkfena313: .exe's are usually for windows.  To install things on ubuntu, you should be using the repositories.  What are you trying to install?
[08:41] <jrib> !installing > darkfena313 (see the private message from ubotu)
[08:41] <soundray> _KP_: ah, you can go from ext3 to ext2 and back without reformatting... but the issue is something else now, of course.
[08:41] <hendrixski> series... log in in safe mode :-) because xserver is the graphical stuff... so if you never log into it, it won't be running :-)

[08:42] <rafaelscj> act1v8, now you know only the vertical refresh rate...
[08:42] <_KP_> hendrixski: use sed to locate the last line in the file, when it finds it, add the line you want, then print the contents of the last line.
[08:42] <w30> series, then when you want X back type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[08:43] <soundray> _KP_: have you tried running 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' during mount and eject?
[08:43] <rafaelscj> act1v8, and you can't download Hwinfo...
[08:43] <act1v8> no
[08:43] <rafaelscj> act1v8, so...
[08:43] <hendrixski> _KP_,  $= locates the last line... then how do I get it to print the contents to the line above it?
[08:43] <defdef> Hello! I know that I am in the wrong place (possibly a hostile place?) But I am looking for either someone to give me an answer, or direct me to an IRC channel that will have the answer
[08:43] <hendrixski> _KP_, typing "$=" a\ the line I want to add...... didn't work :-(
[08:44] <soundray> hendrixski: with bash rather than sed, 'tac filename | head -n 2 | tail -n 1' :)
[08:44] <hendrixski> defdef, if it's a question about Ubuntu you have come to the right place
