[12:17] <ubuntoRoxx> ardchoille: well it is waiting i guess...nothing happens
[12:17] <ubuntoRoxx> ardchoille: ahhh oki...its going again now :D
[12:17] <ardchoille> ubuntoRoxx: let it run, apt is pretty good
[12:17] <ardchoille> :)
[12:17] <ubuntoRoxx> ardchoille: yes...thx. dude...youre a friend
[12:18] <ardchoille> ubuntoRoxx: yw
[12:18] <terryx> no achieve just new to ubuntu
[12:18] <Neaai> darryl: if you're connecting from tty1 then to login as another user, get tty2 with alt-f2 and login there.
[12:18] <ubuntoRoxx> ardchoille: im gonna get ecplise afterwards
[12:18] <ubuntoRoxx> eclipse
[12:18] <terryx> PeskyJ: just new, so asking general question
[12:18] <ardchoille> !info eclipse
[12:18] <uffo> what iswrong with ubuntu 8.10 nvidia 177.82 driver, my 8200 laptop display is soooo slow that pages fades and generally slow reaction.
[12:19] <Ashgadgets> ardchoille: any help?
[12:19] <ardchoille> ubuntulog: ok, eclipse is in the universe repo, make sure that's enabled too
[12:19] <darryl> Neaai: I'm in recovery mode, so that logs in Ubuntu.
[12:19] <terryx> PeskyJ: where are temproary files?
[12:19] <lianimator> how do I install google earth without medibuntu repos?
[12:19] <ardchoille> Ashgadgets: I've never seen a seg fault so can't help :(
[12:19] <Neaai> darryl: and what about tty3 or tty4 ?
[12:20] <ubuntoRoxx> ardchoille: i think its all enabled
[12:20] <terryx> PeskyJ: i want 1048x860 resolution, its just 800x600 max.
[12:20] <terryx> PeskyJ: how can i increase that
[12:20] <ubuntoRoxx> ardchoille: any litterature you recommend to learn about common used linux commands?
[12:20] <stdiopt> unix bible?
[12:20] <ardchoille> !terminal | ubuntoRoxx yes :)
[12:20] <Neaai> ubuntoRoxx: do a google search for "rute.pdf"
[12:21] <terryx> i want 1048x860 resolution, its just 800x600 max, can anyone help me?
[12:21] <darryl> Neaai: Same thing.
[12:21] <ardchoille> !resolution | terryx
[12:22] <stdiopt> whatta?
[12:22] <PeskyJ> terryx: by installing the correct graphics driver for your card
[12:22] <Neaai> darryl: can't you try to use  "sudo su - otherusername" to achive the login as another user ?
[12:22] <stdiopt> to restart X we need to sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart?
[12:22] <stdiopt> how about ctrl+alt+backspace?
[12:22] <terryx> i have nvdiafx5500
[12:22] <terryx> its auto installed
[12:22] <terryx> so what i do
[12:22] <darryl> Neaai: Let me try that.
[12:22] <terryx> ?
[12:23] <ardchoille> stdin: ctrl+alt+backspace is a dirty way of doing it, better with sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart
[12:23] <ardchoille> stdin: be advised that will also kill xchat if you're using xchat
[12:24] <PeskyJ> How can I get the latest version of Q DVD Author - the version that comes with add/remove is 1.02 and the latest version is 1.6?
[12:24] <terryx> when i goto system-admin-nvdia seeting
[12:24] <terryx> thre is an option os resolution
[12:24] <stdiopt> huum
[12:24] <terryx> there is an option of resolution
[12:25] <stdiopt> whats the ? stand for?
[12:25] <stdiopt> g?
[12:25] <terryx> i set it to what i want but when i restart my computer its come default again
[12:25] <snek> for you ppl who want to try the new KDE4.2: http://hehe2.net/linux-general/try-kde-42-now-in-ubuntu/
[12:25] <ardchoille> gdm if you're using gnome dm or kdm if you're using kde dm
[12:25] <darryl> Neaai: That switches me from Ubuntu to Root, I want to use Darryl.
[12:25] <bzrk> or xdm
[12:25] <markvandenborre> I'm trying to restore a backed up evolution
[12:25] <ardchoille> bzil: ah, thank you, yes
[12:25] <markvandenborre> I have a problem when restoring the address books
[12:25] <ardchoille> bzil: ^^
[12:25] <markvandenborre> it only seems to restore one address book
[12:26] <ardchoille> bitten by tab completion twice in a row :)
[12:26] <markvandenborre> the one that resides in .evolution/addressbook/local/system/addressbook.db
[12:26] <markvandenborre> the other ones are ignored
[12:26] <terryx> hellllllllooooooooo
[12:26] <Neaai> darryl: then try to do it as:  su - darryl"  if the desired username is darryl
[12:26] <ziroday> fire
[12:26] <Neaai> darryl:  su - darryl
[12:26] <[e]Lement> I never understood why they use evolution and not Thunderbird...
[12:26] <[e]Lement> =X
[12:26] <darryl> Neaai: Ok.
[12:26] <stdiopt> probably that restart gives a kill to X and manager
[12:27] <stdiopt> wich is not so diferent than ctrl+alt+backspace
[12:27] <ardchoille> [e]Lement: evolution integrates mjuch better into other aspects of the desktop than thunderbird is able
[12:27] <[e]Lement> Ah
[12:27] <[e]Lement> Good to know
[12:27] <stdiopt> killing X, if software is well coded( wich i'm not sure) when loses connection to X should do proper unitialization
[12:27] <guest6294> hey, I completed an ubuntu install on a laptop, and I have no routing table present, can anyone help me set it up?
[12:28] <howtoo> does somebody know what the video output: "default" is in vlc?
[12:28] <ardchoille> stdin: with ctrl+alt+bckspc, nothing is saved if it needs to be saved, using init.d takes care of that
[12:28] <terryx> and where is task manager
[12:28] <terryx> ?
[12:28] <jrib> terryx: why?
[12:28] <darryl> Neaai: sudo su - darryl worked, thanks.
[12:28] <terryx> jrib: sound is coming from my speakers but everything is closed
[12:28] <jrib> darryl: no need for sudo...
[12:28] <[e]Lement> everyone needs a little kill -9 in their lives...
[12:28] <terryx> jrib: what i do now?
[12:29] <jrib> terryx: system -> administration -> system monitor
[12:29] <stdiopt> roger :P
[12:29] <darryl> jrib: roger that.
[12:29] <willy> helo
[12:29] <guest6294> hey, I completed an ubuntu alternate install on a laptop and chose not to configure the network at that time, when I boot into the OS I have no routing table present, can anyone help me out a little setting it up?
[12:29] <Neaai> darryl: no probl
[12:30] <[e]Lement> Well, time for class.
[12:30] <darryl> I'm playing with a new install of Dapper 6.06, my screen saver works ok, but when I wake up in theh morning, the box is frozen, and won't reboot into X. Running startx  at reboot locks up too. To get here now, I had to boot into safe graphics mode, recreate my user, etc... I didn't have this trouble with 5.10, ideas?
[12:31] <Neaai> guest6294: have you setup ip addresses for the interfaces?
[12:31] <NicEXE> how can I revert VLC to it's normal interface (not skinned) if the current skin has no preferences menu?
[12:31] <ardchoille> darryl: If that is a new install, you might consider installing 8.04 because 6.06 will end life in a few months
[12:32] <terryx> jrib: thanx
[12:32] <terryx> bye guys and thanx for ur help
[12:32] <stdiopt> i installed my ubuntu with an hammer lol
[12:32] <darryl> ardchoille: roger that, and that is my plan, but I can't get 8.04 until 6.06 is working.
[12:33] <ardchoille> darryl: ah, ok
[12:33] <stdiopt> i just had a 7.04 installation, and a 8.10 iso, so i kind of created fs by hand and unpacked base system into it
[12:33] <ronny> hi
[12:33] <stdiopt> so i guess i got a full 8.10 i hope
[12:33] <ronny> anyone knows how to rerun the generator for grubs's menu.lst
[12:33] <ardchoille> stdiopt: That was the hard way to do it :)
[12:33] <DJones> !grub | ronny
[12:33] <ronny> i changed the template for generating boot entries, and want to regenerate the config file
[12:33] <stdiopt> i didn't had empty cd's
[12:34] <stdiopt> to burn
[12:34] <ardchoille> stdiopt: oh, your way works, it's just the long way around. And it's good to see someone who actually knew how to do it that way
[12:34] <apereira> oi
[12:34] <paul68> hi I have a external hard drive and I see that I don't see all the files that have been stored there partially because I have moved files under root and my own name what do I need to do to make sure that I can see everything ?
[12:35] <stdiopt> i was wondering about setup (wich in some distros are made in install) but ubuntu took care of that
[12:35] <ubuntoRoxx> ardchoille: okay it finished downloading....now a Lcense agreement(EULA) has appeared taking up the space of the entire terminal....(I can scroll up and down using arrow keys) In the end it says <Ok>, but i dont know how to invoke the ok-function so that I may return to the terminal. Any ideas?
[12:35] <stdiopt> keyboard hardware, modules are kind of detected on run time not on install
[12:35] <jrib> paul68: filesystem?
[12:35] <ardchoille> ubuntoRoxx: just use the tab key to get to the "ok" button and hit the enter key
[12:35] <paul68> jrib: under ubuntu
[12:35] <stdiopt> i'm used to other kind of dists like slack or arch
[12:36] <ardchoille> stdiopt: I figured as much :)
[12:36] <ubuntoRoxx> ardchoille: right yes
[12:36] <stdiopt> ubuntu seems too easy and afterall pleasent :)
[12:36] <wiijii> Anyone set up ubuntu server as a guest OS in vmware?
[12:36] <jrib> paul68: what filesystem is the partition for your external drive formatted to?
[12:36] <ubuntoRoxx> ardchoille: allright...it seems to be working now
[12:36] <ubuntoRoxx> ls
[12:36] <wiijii> AndyB Did you get it sorted?
[12:36] <ubuntoRoxx> ardchoille: so I wonder where it was installed
[12:37] <paul68> jrib: how do I check this since I just bought it and used it never formatted it in any way
[12:37] <jrib> paul68: 'mount'
[12:37] <stdiopt> i got probs with fglrx tho
[12:37] <ardchoille> ubuntoRoxx: no idea, I don't even know what it is. Read that page that ubottu sent you about terminal commands
[12:37] <ardchoille> !terminal > ubuntoRoxx
[12:38] <stdiopt> sometimes X freeze hard :|
[12:38] <oluckyman> hi anybody! how do I perform execute sh-script when system startup ?
[12:38] <jrib> !startup > oluckyman
[12:38] <paul68> jrib: the drive is mounted and I can see it when I use df -h but don't know what filesystem is used
[12:38] <ubuntoRoxx> ardchoille: ahhh okay hehehhee
[12:39] <AndyB> wiijii, not yet still working on it
[12:39] <jrib> paul68: paste the line that corresponds to your drive when you run 'mount'
[12:39] <magic_ninja> hello.  when i try to do a net install the installer doesn't detect my usb cable modem, is there a way to add drivers or such to get it to detect my cable modem (using the small net install file)
[12:39] <paul68> jrib: so I type in console mount /dev/sdb1
[12:39] <hermanon> hi,how to install grub when installing ubuntu?
[12:39] <jrib> paul68: just 'mount'
[12:40] <ActionParsnip1> hermanon: its part of the process
[12:40] <ardchoille> hermanon: the ubuntu install will do that for you
[12:40] <ubuntoRoxx> ardchoille: so about installing eclipse, i should check universal is enabled?
[12:41] <paul68> jrib: /dev/sdb1 on /media/My Book type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077,flush)
[12:41] <ardchoille> ubuntoRoxx: you can search the repos by name: apt-cache search -n eclipse
[12:41] <Neaai> paul68: it's a windows style fs
[12:41] <guest6294> how come a distro like ubuntu has a shitty network manager and absolutely crap wireless support?
[12:41] <jrib> paul68: you should be able to see everything assuming your using the first account you created.  Can you give an example of something that fails?
[12:42] <jrib> guest6294: do you have an actual support question?
[12:42] <ActionParsnip1> guest6294: its fine, just takes some config
[12:42] <guest6294> jrib, yeah, I asked I asked I asked, nothing!
[12:42] <jrib> !patience | guest6294
[12:42] <ActionParsnip1> guest6294: companys like broadcom refuse to support linux and their chips are used lots in notebooks
[12:43] <ActionParsnip1> guest6294: if you shop smart instead of cheap you can build a system that is very linux compliant
[12:43] <ereg> year year hip te hop hop ta klo

[12:43] <hermanon> ardchoille:it tells me installing grub on hd0 failed btw i have winxp on c: and i still want it

[12:44] <vegombrei> i ..i need help ..i have bluetooth headphones .. ubuntu finds it but doesnt send sound to it .. how do i make it work >?
[12:44] <guest6294> ActionParsnip1: I have a Broadcom, it works fine with an ealryer ubuntu distro, my trouble is that I did not chose to configure the network at setup time, and now I have no routing table, I manually added the network config by hand, but it does not work (no syntax error also) and the network manager is dead, not working
[12:44] <paul68> jrib: no its the mountline from my laptop
[12:44] <ardchoille> hermanon: I'm afraid I don't know enough about grub to help with that
[12:45] <Ashgadgets> jrib: my apt-get problem is noT YET solved! :(
[12:45] <jrib> paul68: right, you have mount options there that lets your user see everything
[12:45] <jrib> !vfat > paul68
[12:45] <Neaai> paul68: it's a matter of how the drive is mounted. From the line above, it's mounted as uid=1000 while I suppose on the other system it's mounted as uid=0
[12:45] <ActionParsnip1> guest6294: then if you know the driver for your broadcom is fine, rename your interfaces file and you can try configuring agin. you could try wifi-radar
[12:45] <ActionParsnip1> guest6294: broadcom are in general best avoided
[12:46] <shiMMer> my etterape not work.got this error=Error getting device: no suitable device found

[12:46] <ActionParsnip1> guest6294: if you use wpa you will need to download and install the wpa supplicant
[12:46] <mylarry> Hi! Does apt-cache show a_package shows info only of already installed packages or of any packages (available for ubuntu)??
[12:46] <guest6294> ActionParsnip1: well, thats what my laptop came with, a cheap acer aspire 5315, I have wpa and wpa supplicant allready installed and confirmed working on an earlier distro
[12:47] <paul68> Neaai: ok I understand I'm going to reinstall my ubuntu if I store data on it now will I be safe to retreive that data or is that impossible?
[12:47] <stdiopt> does anyone know how to solve amdpcsdb prob? as in when i chance in catalyst like the saturation of tv, the next X initalization gives an Blank screen (driver freezes),
[12:47] <pnglb> My visual login screen only displays a quarter of the viewport (the rest is beyond the edges of my physical screen), but everything goes back to normal after I login. I looked at xorg.conf but I am quite a newbie and nothing seemed obviously wrong...
[12:47] <ardchoille> mylarry: apt-cache search/show can be used for any package in the repos

[12:48] <ddddoomed> whateva you do don't go Alt+f2 and type 'free the fish'
[12:48] <ActionParsnip1> hermanon: you may need to instal it outside th einstaller.
[12:48] <ActionParsnip1> hermanon: try this
[12:48] <ubuntu_fan> hi everybody
[12:48] <Neaai> paul68: if you store data anywhere, you will be able to retreive them, unless the drive fails or you remove them.
[12:48] <ActionParsnip1> !grub | hermanon
[12:48] <ardchoille> ddddoomed: please don't do that
[12:48] <guest6294> ActionParsnip1: my main problem is that I have no routing table on my laptop, I think maybe that is why it refuses to connect to the wireless router
[12:48] <paul68> Neaai: ok thanks
[12:49] <ddddoomed> ok
[12:49] <ActionParsnip1> guest6294: then flush the table could be one answer
[12:49] <paul68> Neaai: is chmod an option or is it not?
[12:49] <pnglb> (in other words I have a problem which modifies the resolution _only_ for the login screen)
[12:49] <ddddoomed> but could someone tell me how to close it?
[12:49] <guest6294> ActionParsnip1: flush something that does not exist? :)
[12:49] <Neaai> paul68: it's just a matter that both your systems use slightly different 'mount' options. Which you can always override and access all you have in your disk.
[12:49] <ubuntu_fan> i just need some help on web designin in ubuntu
[12:49] <stdiopt> pngla i think after login gnome loads some resolution setup
[12:49] <ActionParsnip1> guest6294: if its corrupted, the output will be blank, by flushing it we know its empty and can be repopulated
[12:49] <ubuntu_fan> any program that is equivalent to macromedia
[12:50] <hermanon> thanks
[12:50] <stdiopt> i think resolution on gdm is xorg.conf based
[12:50] <ActionParsnip1> ubuntu_fan: macomedia is a company
[12:50] <ubuntu_fan> oh sorry that app
[12:50] <paul68> Neaai: what is the way to override it then
[12:50] <Neaai> paul68: you don't need chmod in this case.
[12:50] <ubuntu_fan> hehe can't remember
[12:50] <ardchoille> ubuntu_fan: flash in your browser?

[12:56] <Neaai> paul68: you put the files while in 8.10 and then want to get them in the 8.04 system?
[12:56] <ActionParsnip1> guest6294: route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:56] <paul68> Neaai: well the goal is that I can access them from my 8.10 while the drive is attached to my 8.04
[12:56] <ActionParsnip1> guest6294: you'll need sudo for it
[12:57] <ActionParsnip1> guest6294: its all there, all you gotta do is read
[12:57] <ubuntu_fan> hey ubottu can you help me
[12:57] <Neaai> paul68: over the network you mean
[12:57] <Neaai> ?
[12:57] <ksbalaji> jrib, thanks for responding. I think I use ddebs.ubuntu.com (though I do not know why!) Sorry if I am found anxious.
[12:57] <guest6294> ActionParsnip1: thanks
[12:57] <ardchoille> !bot | ubuntu_fan
[12:57] <Rudolf> hey dudes, yesterday i've upgraded openssh-server but, happen a seg falt during installation, now i can't use ssh connection
[12:57] <jrib> ksbalaji: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash import the key as described there then
[12:57] <Rudolf> what can i do?
[12:57] <ubuntu_fan> oh sorry ubottu
[12:57] <ksbalaji> jrib thanks and bye.
[12:57] <paul68> Neaai: correct
[12:57] <ActionParsnip1> guest6294: could be possibbly why you think 'the support sucks'
[12:58] <stefg> Hi, does anyone know a minimal install for 8.04.1-lpia, i.e. a Dell mini 9. I'll use them as thin cleints so i need a radically stripped down install. I have the repos, but no intaller
[12:58] <Neaai> paul68: now this changes the landscape a bit. How do you currently try to access them?
[12:58] <ActionParsnip1> ubuntu_fan: what are you trying to achieve?
[12:58] <guest6294> ActionParsnip1: no, not really, just look at the complaints people have in the forum unanswered about network manager and wireless
[12:58] <atb101010> can someone recommend an ecommerce retail site for ubuntu linux compatible hardware?
[12:58] <paul68> Neaai: at this point the drive is directly attached to my laptop
[12:59] <hermanon> ActionParsnip1:ok,i clicked the advanced button (in the ready to install tab) the default is hd0,i have one sata hard,the first part is for windows the second is for inux so what should i set grub to boot from?
[12:59] <ActionParsnip1> guest6294: yep, then look at the answers
[12:59] <zoopster> stefg: you want Ubuntu Netbook Remix - UNR
[12:59] <PeskyJ> what is the channel for development?
[12:59] <ActionParsnip1> guest6294: most wifi can be dealt with with ndiswrapper. if people bought smart then the companys wouldnt get revenue from the OSS community
[13:00] <ActionParsnip1> hermanon: im not sure but the grub guide should help you
[13:00] <eltese> PeskyJ : #ubuntu-dev I think =)
[13:00] <Neaai> paul68: you have gui in both systems ?
[13:00] <zoopster> PeskyJ: for Ubuntu Desktop?
[13:00] <ActionParsnip1> hermanon: ive never setup dual boot as i have no need for windows
[13:00] <|MUSE|> ubuntu_fan: ubottu is a bot
[13:01] <ubuntu_fan> ok MUSE
[13:01] <hermanon> ActionParsnip1:thankz
[13:01] <stefg> zoopster: yes and no... i want the equivalent of a netinst .iso. i need complete control over what is installed, b/c i only need X, firefox  and rdesktop AND NOTHING ELSE
[13:01] <ubuntu_fan> does anyone know about amaya
[13:01] <paul68> Neaai: even when I access as root or as my username the drive I don't see what I expect to see no only terminal on the server
[13:01] <PeskyJ> zoopster: yeah
[13:01] <guest6294> ActionParsnip1: is it so hard to write drivers for the broadcom? im no expert but if you don have the source, can't you poke the hardware addresses or something?
[13:01] <ubuntu_fan> i'm just doin a search on cool opensource apps for web designing
[13:02] <JoaoRodrigues> hello all
[13:02] <ActionParsnip1> guest6294: yes as they wont surrender how it works or anything like that, read round it. its very frustrating
[13:02] <ActionParsnip1> guest6294: there are even teams who offer to make the drivers for free if they are given various biits of info
[13:02] <ActionParsnip1> guest6294: but broadcom flat refuse
[13:02] <JoaoRodrigues> I have a weird error 22 on grub after I wrongfully booted my recovery partition :x now I can't restore grub back. any idea?
[13:02] <guest6294> ActionParsnip1: what do they loose if they do this?
[13:02] <JoaoRodrigues> (recovery partition = vista)
[13:03] <ActionParsnip1> guest6294: http://www.petitiononline.com/bcmdrive/petition.html
[13:03] <zoopster> PeskyJ: #Ubuntu-devel
[13:04] <zoopster> stefg: you can use the ubuntu alternate installer cd...that will give you control
[13:04] <ActionParsnip1> guest6294: http://fixunix.com/linux/540809-news-broadcom-offering-linux-drivers-some-its-chips.html
[13:04] <PeskyJ> zoopster: I went in there.. it says in the topic not for app development... do you know what's a good channel to discuss starting a new GUI project?
[13:04] <JuJuBee> Can someone help me get my server to emaill cron's output to a real email address rather than the local account?
[13:04] <paul68> Neaai: what are the odds that when I reinstall ubuntu the uid that is now at 1000 is changed when I reconnect the drive to my laptop?
[13:05] <deltaray> Anyone else running VirtualBox on 64-bit 8.10?  For some reason, when I start it up, it crashes gconf.
[13:05] <Neaai> paul68: I feel slightly confused as I am unclear which system mounts the drive under which username and what are the files that are missing.
[13:05] <paul68> Neaai: can we continue in private?
[13:05] <guest6294> ActionParsnip1: adding my gateway gives me SIOCADDRT: No such process error
[13:05] <zoopster> PeskyJ: depends on what you are trying to accomplish - a new gui like fluxbox vs gnome you probably need to create a new channel - there is no "gui" channel
[13:06] <ActionParsnip1> guest6294: ive seen that around the plac, have a websearch
[13:06] <Neaai> paul68: uid 1000 is by convention the first user added. While the uid will be 1000 at anycase, the name of tha user can differ, but still the first user id will be in most cases if not in all, uid=1000
[13:06] <zoopster> PeskyJ: for ubuntu irc channels simply do a search on ubuntu irc channels...there are several pages that list most of the ubuntu- channels
[13:06] <Neaai> paul68: let's see in private what's the situation for you.
[13:07] <ActionParsnip1> deltaray: run virtualbox from terminal, you my get smart outputs
[13:07] <ActionParsnip1> PeskyJ: theres #fluxbox
[13:07] <deltaray> ActionParsnip1, good idea
[13:08] <zoopster> anyone have a macbook pro v3,1 running 8.10 successfully?
[13:08] <werehouse> ALOW
[13:08] <deltaray> ActionParsnip1, didn't yield anything.
[13:08] <zoopster> or macbook pro v3,1 with wireless working in 8.04?
[13:08] <PeskyJ> zoopster: ActionParsnip1: I didn't mean a windows manager GUI, I just want to write an application that uses a GUI and want to figure out what window libraries to use
[13:08] <deltaray> I'll have to logout first
[13:08] <JoaoRodrigues> Error 22 on grub anyone? Kind of tied up in here...
[13:08] <blunderbomb> hi gang! is there a live cd that will assist in booting what would normaly be an unbootable device?
[13:09] <zoopster> PeskyJ: for gnome?
[13:09] <JoaoRodrigues> my ubuntu partition will not be recognized by anythin I throw at it :x
[13:09] <PeskyJ> zoopster: I want it to be as portable as possible so that it works in gnome or whatever else people use
[13:09] <blunderbomb> can i make a cd that tells my flash drive too boot?
[13:10] <dmay> JoaoRodrigues: may be trouble is in HDD?
[13:10] <ActionParsnip1> PeskyJ: i'd contact some dev teams for tips
[13:10] <JoaoRodrigues> doubt it
[13:10] <ActionParsnip1> PeskyJ: oic
[13:10] <JoaoRodrigues> dmay, my fdisk shows weird stuff
[13:10] <ActionParsnip1> PeskyJ: python is good at that
[13:10] <daniele> .
[13:11] <JoaoRodrigues> where it would show ext3 (my stuff) it shows: W95 Ext'd
[13:11] <zoopster> PeskyJ: so maybe gtk based - I would look for a gtk channel  - there won't be any specifically ubuntu you will want to find a channel that is related to what you are writing to...
[13:11] <blunderbomb> anyhelp would be greatly appreciated
[13:11] <dmay> JoaoRodrigues: your partition contains important info? /home?
[13:12] <zoopster> blunderbomb: usb flash, compactflash? can your bios boot from it?
[13:12] <JoaoRodrigues> yep :x
[13:12] <JoaoRodrigues> dmay, it has pretty much everthing
[13:12] <dmay> JoaoRodrigues: its bad...
[13:12] <blunderbomb> zoopster nope
[13:12] <JoaoRodrigues> dmay, what happened?
[13:12] <blunderbomb> usb flash
[13:12] <JoaoRodrigues> dmay, I hit the wrong grub option and it ran the Recovery partition of Vista. Then it started acting like this..
[13:13] <dmay> JoaoRodrigues: omg
[13:13] <JoaoRodrigues> dmay, yeah, major fail :x
[13:13] <zoopster> blunderbomb: if it cannot boot from it...not sure you would want to boot from cd then call usb ...but if you can boot then make a specific call to /dev/sdxx or whatever the device name is you can mount and init from it
[13:14] <JoaoRodrigues> dmay, but it didn't run nothing, it just hang usually at the big ERROR screen.. so I supposed it'd be ok..
[13:14] <JoaoRodrigues> any idea on how to get info back?
[13:14] <ActionParsnip1> JoaoRodrigues: restore from backup
[13:15] <blunderbomb> zoopster: so bake a cd bootable...put in a code that calls up the thumb drive to run? a .ini file in particular?
[13:15] <JoaoRodrigues> ActionParsnip1: restore from backup? how come?
[13:15] <dmay> JoaoRodrigues: only hit i can give: try to mount this partition >>in R/O mode<< and dd it to somewhere
[13:15] <pngla> stdiopt, about the resolution problem at login, is it possible to get it to load everything before login?
[13:15] <zoopster> blunderbomb: erase your windows memory
[13:15] <blunderbomb> how do you init from it
[13:15] <JoaoRodrigues> dmay, how do I do that actually :x ? (maybe pvt would be betteR)
[13:15] <zoopster> blunderbomb: boot from cd into grub then use the grub commands to call the kernel from the usb drive
[13:16] <dmay> JoaoRodrigues: i dont remember all options of mount and dd commands )
[13:16] <vegombrei> ActionParsnip1: doesnt help :(
[13:16] <JoaoRodrigues> dmay, what's the R/O mode? (I'll google it)
[13:16] <dmay> JoaoRodrigues: read only
[13:16] <stdiopt> pngla i did correct that, almost removing my all homedir setup and reconfiguring stuff, but u should able to do that in a specific file that i'm not aware off
[13:16] <zoopster> blunderbomb: you will need to test to see 1) if you can see the usb drive prior to the kernel loading - if you cannot boot from usb then most likely you cannot boot from cd and call the kernel from the usb drive
[13:16] <JoaoRodrigues> ahm :D
[13:17] <blunderbomb> thanks zoopster, grub comes live? shopuld i look for bootable grub then?
[13:17] <stdiopt> pngla somewhere in .* files
[13:17] <vegombrei> ActionParsnip1: tried the stuff they said in the forum link u sent me .. also im using intrepid those instructions were for breezy i guess
[13:17] <zoopster> blunderbomb: if you want to boot from cd then mount the usb drive...that's pretty easy and simply mount /dev/sxxxx to a mount point
[13:17] <ActionParsnip1> vegombrei: what doesnt?
[13:17] <pngla> stdiopt I'm not sure I understand what you mean. What config files should I look at?
[13:17] <zoopster> blunderbomb: use the ubuntu livecd...you can do it all from there
[13:18] <marcio> lv3,jjhbhbnklk,m
[13:18] <ActionParsnip1> zoopster: if the usb is added to fstab it can be booted to like any block device

[13:18] <zoopster> ActionParsnip1: yep...but I don't think that's what blunderbomb wants
[13:19] <wrathchild9> hi
[13:19] <stdiopt> pngla i'm not sure also, but i know is somefile there lol since i drasticly removed all of that files
[13:19] <blunderbomb> zoop i was wondering if i could do it all live.. want i want to do is boot ubuntu live from usb flash so  i could use it on other computers.. if that makes sense
[13:19] <pngla> stdiopt: Ok I'll take a look

[13:20] <blunderbomb> iu would need grub to be live only then from a cd
[13:20] <Bullterd> Afternoon All
[13:20] <zoopster> blunderbomb: that's simple...in 8.10 there is a usb boot creator tool...very simple to make it bootable, BUT you have to be able to boot from the usb device
[13:20] <ActionParsnip1> aftnoon Bullterd
[13:20] <zoopster> marcio: you will get kicked if you keep doing that
[13:20] <ActionParsnip1> !usb | blunderbomb zoopster
[13:20] <Bullterd> I tried to install a program via apt-get earlier, and for some reason it froze. I cntl c'd to cancel, and now I can do any kind of remove of that package or flush
[13:20] <marcio> nmmnfcgmjgy
[13:21] <Bullterd> Any suggestions on how to force remove it ?
[13:21] <ActionParsnip1> !fixapt | Bullterd
[13:21] <Shikyo> i have a weird situation here, just installed ubuntu 7.10. in power management i accidentally turned brightness to 0%, and now i can't see a thing..
[13:21] <wrathchild9> i have a trouble with the interpid, installed it yesterday and it often freezes... i can't move my mouse pointer. i've read a topic on the ubuntuforums about a similar trouble, but it's not the same... i can shut down the pc w/out hard shut down. i just have to push the shut down button shortly and wait 60 seconds
[13:21] <Shikyo> that's on a laptop
[13:21] <blunderbomb> so i can or cant use a bootable device to boot a non bootable device?
[13:21] <Bullterd> Setting up pbeagent (7.0.5-109) ... <-- it just sits at that
[13:21] <wrathchild9> can you guys help me?
[13:21] <zoopster> ActionParsnip1: that's great for 8.04...it's all included in 8.10
[13:22] <ActionParsnip1> !info pbeagent
[13:22] <ActionParsnip1> zoopster: sweet, i suggested usb installation as an option a while back :)
[13:22] <blunderbomb> USB does not boot.... Looking for a workaround is all
[13:22] <ActionParsnip1> Bullterd: i'd run the apt fix, then sudo apt-get clean
[13:22] <Bullterd> I apt-get installed apcupsd and everything installed OK but it just hung on pbeagent
[13:22] <zoopster> Myrtti: thanks
[13:22] <ActionParsnip1> blunderbomb: ahh so the bios cant boot usb?
[13:23] <blunderbomb> nope
[13:23] <Myrtti> zoopster: np
[13:23] <Shikyo> could anyone possibly have any idea on what to do? because it quite pissed me off :(
[13:23] <ActionParsnip1> blunderbomb: got it
[13:23] <Bullterd> Im running the apt fix... even that hands at setting up
[13:23] <Bullterd> *Hangs
[13:23] <ActionParsnip1> Bullterd: is your drive ok?
[13:23] <ActionParsnip1> Bullterd: a reboot may help
[13:23] <Bullterd> Ya should be
[13:23] <Bullterd> Rebooted already
[13:23] <zoopster> ActionParsnip1: it is sweet!
[13:24] <ActionParsnip1> zoopster: uber!
[13:24] <Bullterd> So yeah, its screwed :(
[13:24] <zoopster> blunderbomb: you can - just not simple - if you are booting from cd...then you might as well continue to boot from the cd
[13:25] <zoopster> blunderbomb: if you can boot from usb then why boot from cd only to load the kernel from the usb when the kernel, et al is already on the cd?
[13:25] <ActionParsnip1> zoopster: https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad-report-tool/+bug/179809
[13:25] <ksbalaji> jrib, I did as found in debuggingprogramcrash site. (Now I remember - I installed this crash debugging to report crashes)   I get this new error - unsafe enclosing directory permissions on configuration file  `/home/balaji/.gnupg/gpg.conf' and gpg: external program calls are disabled due to unsafe options file permissions -Can you sort this out please?
[13:25] <vegombrei> ActionParsnip1: i dont think anyone has successfully connected bluetooth headphones to ubuntu
[13:25] <blunderbomb> the ability to change up files in the usb
[13:26] <ActionParsnip1> vegombrei: looks like they have, its just weird
[13:26] <blunderbomb> if i want to add a program or.exe to my usb i can via any operating system
[13:26] <wigren> Hi all. I'm having trouble installing flashplugin-nonfree. When I try with the command line all I get is: http://pastebin.com/m45d18a3
[13:26] <blunderbomb> cdrw can only rewrite soo much
[13:27] <blunderbomb> any new goodies i want i can simply plug in da ol usb
[13:27] <ikonia> wigren: the adobe site is down
[13:27] <zoopster> blunderbomb: I think you are talking about 2 things here - you can easily boot from cd, mount the usb and install whatever you like from the usb after mounting it
[13:28] <vegombrei> ActionParsnip1: i saw many forums with no conclusions
[13:28] <ikonia> wigren: that url appears wrong, or currently invalid
[13:28] <wigren> ikonia: OIC. Well I guess I'll wait. Any idea when it will be back?
[13:28] <ActionParsnip1> vegombrei: id ask a little later or see if someone knows
[13:28] <zoopster> ActionParsnip1: that is a bit different...you  want to boot then install to usb which you can do, but the usb creator tool simple makes a liveusb option
[13:28] <ActionParsnip1> vegombrei: kep searching, you'll strike gold
[13:28] <ikonia> wigren: I don't know if it's invalid because it's changed or because it's having a problem, but that url is no longer valid
[13:29] <ActionParsnip1> zoopster: thats what i asked for, so the cd can be installed to usb with all the required boot usb funkiness
[13:29] <vegombrei> ActionParsnip1: i hope so .... g/f is quite pissed with the sound if i dont figure this out fast ill hafta sleep on the coutch
[13:30] <j2daosh> someone told me a couple weeks ago to add my wlan0 into my /etc/interfaces file, then told me to man interfaces... which didn't help me to understand exactly what i was doing. anyone know what I should be googling so i can figure out my wireless and make it start working?
[13:30] <AndyB> wiijii, hi again
[13:30] <ActionParsnip1> vegombrei: is it that big a deal..sheesh
[13:30] <wrathchild9> hi! i have a trouble with the interpid, installed it yesterday and it often freezes... i can't move my mouse pointer. i've read a topic on the ubuntuforums about a similar trouble, but it's not the same... i can shut down the pc w/out hard shut down. i just have to push the shut down button shortly and wait 60 seconds. could you help me, guys?
[13:30] <ddgoose> Anyone tried the Project-Neon KDE 4.3 nightly PPA?
[13:30] <ddgoose> 4.2 even
[13:31] <vegombrei> ActionParsnip1: ya dude ... why else would i run to best buy and get bluetooth headphones
[13:31] <ActionParsnip1> ddgoose: ask in #kubuntu
[13:31] <ikonia> wrathchild9: that is a hard shutdown
[13:31] <ksbalaji> jrib, ?
[13:31] <wrathchild9> ikonia: no, it shuts down normally, log, everything
[13:31] <ActionParsnip1> vegombrei: no idea, i havent found a decent pair yet. my panasonic round ear ones are awesome
[13:31] <ikonia> wrathchild9: holding down the power button is a hard shutdown
[13:32] <j2daosh> ikonia: no when he says hard he means 4 second instant power off
[13:32] <wrathchild9> ikonia: you misunderstood me
[13:32] <AndyB> im trying to install grub on my internal drive from live cd by running the "grub-install /dev/sda" command, but it says "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device." Does anyone know how i could install grub?
[13:32] <j2daosh> not hitting the power button, sending a sigkill to everything
[13:32] <ddgoose> Actionparsnip, It's not kubuntu related
[13:32] <ikonia> j2daosh: he said " i just have to push the shut  down button shortly and wait 60 seconds
[13:32] <wrathchild9> i don't hold the button
[13:32] <ActionParsnip1> AndyB: try using sudo
[13:32] <wiijii> AndyB hi mate, how's it going?
[13:32] <ikonia> j2daosh: 60 seconds is not 4 seconds, thats a hard shutdown
[13:32] <blunderbomb> zoop i see your logic if im gonna use a cd anyways why even bother booting from usb....which is faster by the wat cd read or usb flash read??
[13:32] <Guest55467> hi could someone point me to some directions on how to get the logitech g5 buttons working in intrepid? cant find nothing :( thx!
[13:33] <ikonia> unless I'm missunderstanding
[13:33] <AndyB> ActionParsnip1, Thanks
[13:33] <j2daosh> yeah, waiting for everything to come down, not a hard shutdown which cuts the power
[13:33] <AndyB> wiijii, Not to good. need to reboot again, shall inform you in a sec =]
[13:33] <j2daosh> its not graceful like init 6/init 0
[13:33] <wiijii> AndyB OK
[13:33] <j2daosh> but its not a power cut off hard reboot
[13:33] <habit> Hello. I have usplash very stretched during boot on widescreen monitor. Looks horrible, advice me please.
[13:33] <ikonia> j2daosh: I get that, but if he holds down the power button for 6 seconds it will power off
[13:33] <ikonia> 60 seconds sorry
[13:34] <j2daosh> yeah, he said he pressed the power button and then waits 60 seconds
[13:34] <j2daosh> not holds it down for 60 seconds
[13:34] <wrathchild9> ikonia: if i press the button i get a dialog box which says if i don't choose anything from the list (shut down, reboot, hybernation), it will shut down automatically in 60 seconds
[13:34] <ikonia> ahhhh
[13:34] <ikonia> your not holding it in
[13:34] <j2daosh> :)
[13:34] <wrathchild9> nope i don't :)
[13:34] <D-MAN> anyone know how to animate the cairo dock?
[13:35] <yao_ziyuan> Murrine + X-Colors:
[13:35] <wrathchild9> so do you have any idea what causes it?
[13:35] <yao_ziyuan> http://i38.tinypic.com/rkpzy9.png
[13:35] <ikonia> wrathchild9: I suggest the first thing you do is open a gnome-terminal as soon as you login and run "vmstat 2" it should keep a window active, the next time it hangs see if that window freezes or keeps working
[13:36] <blunderbomb> thx for your help zoop..etc the main reason i wanted to boot from usb  even with cd.. is so i could eject the cd to use it where many  live distros dont let you do that
[13:37] <wrathchild9> ikonia: if it's frozen it does everything just doesn't react to the mouse and keyboard either
[13:37] <ikonia> wrathchild9: open the terminal and start the command I suggested before it freezes
[13:37] <ikonia> wrathchild9: are the keyboard and mouse wirless ?
[13:37] <wrathchild9> nope
[13:38] <ikonia> wrathchild9: does the capslock light come on
[13:38] <wrathchild9> didn't try
[13:38] <wrathchild9> brb i try it

[13:39] <zoopster> oops...sorry who was I chatting with?
[13:39] <atb101010> looking for a $150-200 linux compatible video card, any recommendations?
[13:40] <wigren> ikonia: It looks like I'm out of luck for now. Any suggestions? Can I change the address some how? I tried downloading it from Adobe's site, but I'm using x64 and it's only i386 on there.
[13:40] <zoopster> atb101010: yeesh - why not a simple 50 evga nvidia chipset
[13:40] <ardchoille> !hcl | atb101010
[13:40] <j2daosh> ok im not adding entries for each wireless network i want to connect to in the /etc/interfaces file... whats a different way? a more seamless way?
[13:41] <wrathchild9> ikonia: it's strange... it's frozen, but I can do everything via ssh... caps, num and scroll lock don't react
[13:41] <j2daosh> my wireless card is found, drivers are loaded, but no signal is being used... no signal recieved from the AP, and none going out as far was wireshark can tell
[13:41] <selinuxium> !hcl | selinuxium

[13:41] <wiijii> Is there any way on IRC to leave a message for someone who is offline, for them to receive when they return?

[13:41] <arun_> i have heard that ubuntu is based on debian and fedora on redhat?but someone says these four are four separate os.whats the truth?
[13:42] <wrathchild9> i've already tried it
[13:42] <ActionParsnip1> j2daosh: if you rename your interfaces file and reboot you will get a fresh one, you ca then use your network config tool to setup the connection
[13:42] <j2daosh> ubuntu is debian based, fedora is made by redhat
[13:42] <wrathchild9> j2daosh: i've already tried it
[13:42] <j2daosh> ActionParsnip1: really now... time to give that a go and see what happens
[13:42] <wrathchild9> j2daosh: it doensn't work
[13:43] <ActionParsnip1> j2daosh: i personally use seperate interface files for all networks i use and have a script to copy the right one in
[13:43] <j2daosh> ill brb if this dont work
[13:43] <ActionParsnip1> j2daosh: cd /etc/network/; sudo mv ./interfaces ./interfaces_old
[13:43] <ActionParsnip1> j2daosh: then reboot
[13:43] <j2daosh> ActionParsnip1: yeah but im not "paranoid" :P... i just want my wireless to work like it would on windows... a network is near, let me connect to it
[13:44] <ActionParsnip1> j2daosh: you could try a different app, like wifi-radar
[13:44] <j2daosh> but i get no signal regardless of the AP
[13:44] <ActionParsnip1> j2daosh: i just use cli lots so for me it makes sense

[13:49] <arun_> have anyone heard of boss?bharath operating systems solutions
[13:50] <GColley> j2daosh: With all do respect, Ubuntu is a free and open-source platform. The developers and contributors use their own time and the effort without getting paid to do so to provide a easy, and stable platform for you to use. If you're not satisfied, then choose another platform. Otherwise, you'll have to wait for the bug to be solved, or help find a solution yourself.
[13:50] <malcom2073> nbeebo: there are a couple windows apps to change gamma, you should try one of them perhaps?
[13:50] <nbeebo> malcom2073; ive tried gammasutra and another popular program... doesnt work at all

[14:22] <sipior> ksbalaji_: yeah that's...incorrect. two things: you don't want user root owning the directory, and the permissions are not nearly restrictive enough. try this: "sudo chown -R balaji .gnupg", and then "chmod 700 .gnupg"

[14:26] <truebosko> Hi there, I setup a simple Samba share but it seems if I copy a lot of files over the network (lan, not wireless) eventually windows craps out and says it can't find the share anymore. IT stays like this for about ~2 minutes then I can re-connect to my Samba share. Anyone have any tips as to why this is happening?
[14:26] <ActionParsnip1> dmg: if you installed ubuntu then switched window manager to fluxbox, you are running gnome underneath
[14:26] <ksbalaji_> sipior, can I now proceed with my original no GPG public key rectification now?
[14:26] <bahaa2008> sammyF: i have to wait 3 hours to copy 3 GB over network
[14:26] <dimebar> ActionParsnip1: that isn't correct.
[14:26] <giganto> Hi all, can someone help me with .mkv files? I am having trouble playing them...
[14:26] <ActionParsnip1> dimebar: you cant, the window manager only draws the windows and menus on the screen
[14:26] <sipior> ksbalaji_: give it a try
[14:26] <DarkKnight> ActionParsnip1; any idea??
[14:26] <gamla_kossan> giganto: disabled the composite desktop?
[14:27] <dmg> ActionParsnip1: gdm launches my ~/.xsession file
[14:27] <dimebar> ActionParsnip1: I think you may need to go and do a little more research :)
[14:27] <giganto> gamla_kossan, yes
[14:27] <ActionParsnip1> DarkKnight: you need ntfs-3g and you can mount the partition
[14:27] <giganto> gamla_kossan, .avi plays fine
[14:27] <sammyF> bahaa2008: how do you copy the files? samba? ftp?
[14:27] <gamla_kossan> giganto: tried all sorts of players, incl vlc?
[14:27] <giganto> gamla_kossan, i've also installed all the required dependencies/codecs
[14:27] <giganto> gamla_kossan, yes
[14:27] <bahaa2008> sammyF: is this normal ?
[14:27] <giganto> gamla_kossan, got mPlayer/ vlc
[14:27] <gamla_kossan> giganto: well, I'm stumped.. too low specs for your comp?
[14:27] <DarkKnight> ActionParsnip1; ya its installed....now how??
[14:27] <bahaa2008> sammyF: samba
[14:27] <giganto> gamla_kossan, quite impossible
[14:28] <ActionParsnip1> !ntfs-3g | DarkKnight
[14:28] <giganto> gamla_kossan, im running a mobility radeon X1600
[14:28] <gamla_kossan> !easy-rsa
[14:28] <gamla_kossan> !openvpn
[14:28] <mphill> bahaa2008: what protocol are you using to transfer ?
[14:28] <zoopster> gamla_kossan: apt-get install openvpn and the scripts are in /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa
[14:28] <rrittenhouse> In network-manager what does "System-setting" (the checkbox) actually do?
[14:28] <DarkKnight> ActionParsnip1; i checked my synaptic...and it shows that its installed...
[14:28] <ActionParsnip1> dmg; gdm is part of gnome
[14:28] <ActionParsnip1> just researching
[14:29] <bahaa2008> sammyF: i use the default
[14:29] <Ohkie> hi. has anybody got any advice on recovering (preferrably creating an iso) from a dvd that seems to be damaged?
[14:29] <gamla_kossan> zoopster: <3 thanks so much!
[14:29] <justizin> Ohkie: if the dvd is damaged, your image will be damaged.
[14:29] <giganto> gamla_kossan, i followed this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683
[14:29] <tovella> ActionParsnip1: certainly there are ways to use gdm without all of gnome installed (and use fluxbox, openbox, e17, etc).
[14:29] <Ohkie> justi: i figure there is no harm in trying :)
[14:29] <giganto> gamla_kossan, i tried XV / X11 but nothing works
[14:30] <ActionParsnip1> Ohkie: use dd_rescue to create an iso of the dvd, you can then mount it and read what data is left
[14:30] <giganto> gamla_kossan, .avi plays fine on both vlc and mPlayer but not .mkv
[14:30] <Ohkie> thanks actionparsnip1 :)
[14:30] <giganto> is there a better channel to ask?
[14:30] <gamla_kossan> giganto: sorry my man, I don't have a clue :/
[14:31] <giganto> gamla_kossan, no worries then
[14:31] <eltese> giganto are you having problems trying to play your mkv files ?
[14:31] <giganto> eltese, yes ... lol
[14:31] <Juhaz> ActionParsnip1, don't be ridiculous. gdm is part of gnome but it does not start the gnome desktop "underneath" if you run something else from it
[14:31] <bahaa2008> mphill: i use the default samba protocol
[14:31] <giganto> eltese, i've tried everything I know
[14:32] <Ohmu> can anyone help me get a WAP up and running from Ibex?  It was working in Heron.
[14:32] <giganto> eltese, basically I followed this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683
[14:32] <eltese> giganto what happens when you open them with vlc? And also is it HD files your trying to open?
[14:32] <ActionParsnip1> dimebar: so you can run fluxbox without kde or gnome or any other DE?
[14:32] <giganto> eltese, opening them in both vlc and mplayer are choppy
[14:32] <sipior> ksbalaji_: did that change work for you?
[14:32] <giganto> eltese, and umm, yes they are h264 videos
[14:33] <Kragnerac> :)
[14:33] <ActionParsnip1> Juhaz: i see, im learning :D
[14:33] <bahaa2008> mphill: hay did u got anything to say ?
[14:33] <ksbalaji_> sipior, Hey! you are great! that solved my problem. I could update without errors now. Do I have to change back the permissions now?
[14:33] <eltese> giganto ok I see. Does "blocks" appear on screen ? Does audio work?
[14:33] <dimebar> ActionParsnip1: yes; even without gdm/kdm etc.
[14:33] <SOURdiesel> how can i find which video driver is installed?
[14:33] <eltese> giganto what gfx are you on?
[14:34] <sipior> ksbalaji_: don't change them back, unless you want it to break again :) glad you have it working.
[14:34] <ActionParsnip1> dimebar: well thats just made my future gentoo installs a billion times easier
[14:34] <giganto> eltese, yes blocks do appear a little, audio works. On mplayer, the audio and video doesn't match up and im using Mobility radeon X1600
[14:34] <ksbalaji_> sipior, thank you! have a nice day/night! and bye!
[14:35] <Qixotic> hi, how do you check if a drive is connected under sata 150 or sata 300?
[14:35] <eltese> hmms ok giganto.. My experience in Linux is that VLC tends to handle 264 files much better then Mplayer. Im gonna put this at bad video rendering problem. Give me a sec and I'll figure out something good :]
[14:35] <bahaa2008> my lan spped is too slow about 200 kb/s , any help ?
[14:35] <giganto> eltese, cheers :)
[14:36] <dimebar> ActionParsnip1: its an easy mistake/assumption to make; the lines are blurred between Desktop Environments and Window Managers
[14:36] <SOURdiesel> how can i find which video driver is installed?
[14:36] <giganto> eltese, oh by the way, what exactly do u mean by blocks?
[14:36] <giganto> eltese, I was assuming chuggishness
[14:36] <eltese> giganto: If there are pixel blocks in the picture.
[14:36] <giganto> eltese, or were u refering to videos freezing?
[14:36] <giganto> eltese, hmm
[14:37] <giganto> eltese, hang on, let me check
[14:37] <ActionParsnip1> dimebar: tru, but now after i get my kernel and lan connected, I cn emerge fluxbox and drink my beer
[14:37] <Zaraki_Kenpachi> hi, i need help to make microdia web cam work, here's the result of lsusb command in my system http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d1682f1db, since 7.04 to 8.10 i don't know to resolve it
[14:37] <bahaa2008> my lan spped is too slow about 200 kb/s , any help ?
[14:38] <sipior> bahaa2008: well, what speed should it be?
[14:38] <giganto> eltese, yes, there are pixel blocks in vlc/ i was playing an anime
[14:38] <zoopster> bahaa2008: speed? or throughput?
[14:38] <sipior> bahaa2008: also, how are you testing the throughput?
[14:38] <stdiopt> bahaa2008 u should try 28bps modem then
[14:38] <eltese> giganto : Doesnt matter that much really.. I just wanna know if you can open the movies and get audio / video but with "chuggishness" as you so dearly put it or if you get no picture at all
[14:38] <jim_p> bahaa2008, i know i sound evil, but give it a shot and disable network manager and use static ips if possible.
[14:39] <arnaldocapo> hi there
[14:39] <jim_p> hi arnaldocapo
[14:39] <arnaldocapo> Hey, I have a question
[14:39] <giganto> eltese, ah i see, well yeah, definitely can play videos with sound, just badly
[14:40] <eltese> Ok
[14:40] <arnaldocapo> someone here is familiar with vsftpd running in ubuntuserver?
[14:40] <bahaa2008> jim_p: how to disable network manger
[14:40] <bahaa2008> jim_p: i use static ips
[14:41] <jim_p> bahaa2008, set the ips inside /etc/network/interfaces and remove network manager
[14:41] <jim_p> bahaa2008, i can pm you my layout of that file
[14:41] <mphill> bahaa2008: you can also try to remove ipv6 for additional speed (not sure if that hack still applies)
[14:41] <eltese> giganto : Im pretty sure it is because of bad rendering by vlc / mplayer. But well get that fixed... Just dont remember atm wich choice you ought to take.. So just wait a little moment ;D
[14:42] <giganto> eltese, ah yeah and the sound isn't matching up with the video
[14:43] <tomcheng76> what is the speed of GE if i use a cat5 cable instead of cat5e/6 ?
[14:43] <bahaa2008> jim_p: pm me your layout

[14:44] <arnaldocapo> some1 here has an ftp server?
[14:44] <tomcheng76> mphill: thxs, is that true that no need crossover if it is GE network?
[14:45] <mphill> tomcheng76: i don't know, sorry

[14:47] <Sinister`> lxde how do you put icons on the desktop ?
[14:48] <DavidCanarias> Can anyone help me please? When I load in a DVD and right click to copy it to my computer - no problems. I then burn it to disc and it doesn't read in my DVD player which reads most things, but its perfectly OK in the computer. Any help appreciated!!!
[14:48] <angasule> it is possible that the command "apt-get purge python" didn't ask for confirmation before proceeding?
[14:48] <jim_p> Ohmu, sure, hit it
[14:50] <Ohmu> jim_p: Can I do the whole thing without any GUI stuff?  No network manager, no wicd, etc?
[14:50] <karim> hello
[14:51] <jim_p> Ohmu, theoritically, yes. practically... i have tried connecting with wep and it all went wrong
[14:51] <DavidCanarias> I need a little help buying a new printer. Can anyone recommend one that works 100% with Linux???
[14:51] <Guest26813> can i ask a little question?
[14:51] <jim_p> Ohmu, i could connect if i disabled wep key from the hotspot, but its no use
[14:51] <Ohmu> jim_p: I'm not using wep.  I'm going for like a 'hello world' WAP
[14:52] <DJones> !hcl | DavidCanarias You might be better picking a couple of printers that suit your needs and then checking them against the Hardware list
[14:52] <Tesssa> can i ask a question please
[14:52] <jim_p> Ohmu, wap as in... www for cellphones etc?? i thought of wpa. damn

[14:53] <DJones> DavidCanarias: no probs, from my experience, I've found that HP work well and Lexmark don't work that well
[14:54] <jim_p> Tesssa, hit it
[14:54] <Lorenzo> I have a question
[14:55] <jim_p> Ohmu, have you tried disabling nm to see if it works? what model is that card?
[14:55] <SOURdiesel> how can i find video driver details?
[14:55] <DavidCanarias> DJones: I think you are probably right and I agree with you, that's why I preferred to ask the question to the real world out there! I am looking particularly at the Hewlett Packard Photosmart D5160. Linux say it's pretty good, but I cant find the drivers anywhere. They direct me to one site and being a newbie they talk about all sort of things I just don't understand. Obviously a deb package for a certain printer is the easiest,
[14:56] <phreak_> hallo
[14:57] <DJones> DavidCanarias: The printers I use are older models so I've never had to install any additional drivers outside of what is available by default
[14:57] <DavidCanarias> Does anyone on the chat this afternoon have any experience trying to copy DVD's and burn them successfully! I cant do it!!!!
[14:57] <Gun_Smoke> when taring a users home folder as root are permission left untouched by default?  I know when extracting you can -p to preserve, but I don't know if it is required when making the archive..
[14:57] <[c0re]> how to modify emerald theme?
[14:58] <DavidCanarias> DJones: Appreciate your help anyway! I'll sort something out, but it's dreadful that we go to buy something in a computer store and the minute you mention Linux - well I think you turn invisible as they just don't want to know!!!! Shame isn't it?
[14:58] <rrittenhouse> In network-manager what does "System-setting" (the checkbox) actually do?

[15:06] <erUSUL> Neaai: Network Manager uses gconf i think
[15:07] <cutterjohn> hello people
[15:07] <cutterjohn> ...and ahem my ulterior motive for appearing this morning...
[15:07] <Neaai> erUSUL: so while I have never had to use gconf, I need to think about this too? What was wrong with /etc/network/interfaces ?
[15:07] <erUSUL> Neaai: nothing you can still use it. ifaces listed in interfaces will be ignored by network manager
[15:09] <cutterjohn> I made the grave error of installing the kubuntu base package last night to take a look at it.  Attempted to use it for a few hours, then decided to ditch it in disgust.  But now under GNOME I find that my brightness level widget no longer appears AND worse yet I'm stuck with that awful kubuntu splash screen.  Does anyone know of an easy way to get those back to the original ubuntu setup again w/o re-installing everything?
[15:09] <erUSUL> Neaai: you have to edit interfaces with a text editor though

When I add a route for <IP_ADDRESS>/16 to go to my gateway ip, nothing happens. My box and the gateway have public ip addresses. Is there any option that prevents the packets related to the private 169.254 block from ever exiting ?
[15:10] <cutterjohn> (I was hoping that just removing the main parts of kde would fix it, but I guess not...)
[15:11] <mpalatnik> 169 should never be routed

[15:18] <Neaai> erUSUL: I see. Well I suspect that it can be an option in the kernel probably that prevents that in order to be rfc compliant. I know I'm willingly breaking some rfc here but I need it such. Interesting issue this one.

[15:19] <ubu1>  i have installed etherape on a virtual guest ubuntu using virtualbox but the etherape crashs !!!!! :(
[15:19] <ardaking> the dialog to download a file
[15:19] <dietwater> Ah.
[15:19] <dietwater> go to localhost
[15:20] <dietwater> so in firefox, in address bar, type localhost
[15:20] <dietwater> then go to directory, file.
[15:20] <gribouille> hey, are you sleeping or what ?
[15:20] <ardaking> yes yes
[15:20] <lianimator> what is pdftotext? it's been taking up 50% CPU for a while now. 50% on a dual core CPU

[15:20] <dietwater> that was a huge problem for me
[15:21] <ubu1> Please help :!!!
[15:21] <dietwater> If it asks to download the php file then either it isn't set up right or your not in localhost.
[15:21] <ardaking> can you repeat ?
[15:21] <ardaking> i'm at localhost
[15:21] <dietwater> first type in localhost
[15:21] <dietwater> then navigate to the file

[15:22] <dietwater> so if you want /var/www/test/page.php, then type localhost/test/page.php
[15:22] <cutterjohn> ok it looked like my AC power management setting had been drastically changed somewhere along the line, kde install maybe, so I guess that'll get rid of the flipping to max brightness

[15:29] <Bertan> Hello, wounder if anyone can help me. My desktop is messed of with files from folder /home/USER/. (Suppous to be /home/USER/Desktop
[15:29] <|daver|> i have the full ISO
[15:29] <|daver|> and i have a PXE server i use for RHEL
[15:29] <|daver|> and trying to put ubuntu on there
[15:29] <|daver|> it loaded the vmlinuz and initrd
[15:29] <cutterjohn> there's only one kde specifice octave packages and it's NOT a dependency for the rest of octave
[15:29] <cutterjohn> ...and wine has no kde dependency whatsoever...
[15:29] <|daver|> error says "gave up waiting for root device"
[15:29] <ikonia> |daver|: the live CD runs of sqash FS, so the squash fs needs to be uncompressed to use it
[15:30] <zamba> i need a odbc client for ubuntu..
[15:30] <Bertan> Anyone know what to do?
[15:30] <ikonia> |daver|: you shouldn't actually need to specify a "root" device, as the boot loader on the iso image should handle that
[15:30] <cutterjohn> mplayer also has no kde dependencies excepting for maybe an optional package somewhere(?)
[15:30] <|daver|> well when i dont i get the same error
[15:31] <cutterjohn> those remove kde instructions are like throwing the baby out with the bathwater
[15:31] <ikonia> |daver|: what pxe image are you using
[15:31] <|daver|> i got the default ISO and used the vmlinuz and initrd.gz off there
[15:31] <|daver|> do i need to use a different one?
[15:31] <ikonia> |daver|: they aren't pxe images
[15:31] <|daver|> oh
[15:31] <|daver|> i can do that with RHEL
[15:31] <ikonia> !pxe
[15:31] <ikonia> rat, I'm sure there is a factoid with a good url
[15:32] <krish> is there any alternative for adobe photoshop in ubuntu 8.10?
[15:32] <dft> krish: gimp
[15:32] <|daver|> gimp
[15:32] <thiebaude> hi ikonia
[15:33] <|daver|> ok i found the ftp with the netboot
[15:33] <ikonia> |daver|: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ThinClientHowto and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer may help
[15:33] <krish> dft will i be able to design my own logos and website headers in gimp?
[15:33] <|daver|> thanks
[15:33] <ikonia> krish: yes
[15:34] <krish> ikonia is is there any tutorial in ubuntu community to help me use gimp
[15:34] <ikonia> krish: no, loads of info ont he grimp website
[15:34] <cutterjohn> thos remove kde instructions need to be move to community docs and reviewed as about half of what they remove does NOT need to be removed as the packages have ZERO KDE/Qt deps
[15:34] <krish> oh thanks a lot ikonia and dft
[15:35] <|daver|> cool that worked thanks!
[15:35] <thiebaude> !gimp
[15:35] <ikonia> |daver|: good man
[15:36] <Tomay>  I downloaded UBUNTU 8.10 DVD & burned it & when booting from the dvd an error message: as below
[15:36] <Tomay>  [xxx.xxxxxx] Buffer I/0 error on device sr0, logical block xxxxxx
[15:36] <Tomay>  Help me PLEASE :(
[15:36] <guest6294> I installed Ubuntu x64 Desktop Edition from an alternate install disk. Shortly after boot the system asks me if I want to use the Broadcom STA Wireless Driver. Obviously I do and I activate the driver. The trouble is that it does not work at all. Uninstalling the network manager, I connect manually, but I cannot set the MODE, always giving me an error. Another annoying issue is that the LED for the wireless is working in reverse, it's off when it's on,
[15:37] <bytecode> Tomay: is it definitely a DVD? Because it's always been a CDROM  for me .....
[15:37] <ikonia> alternative CD is a CD, not a DVD
[15:38]  * Tomay slaps bytecode around a bit with a large trout
[15:39] <thiebaude> lol
[15:39] <Tomay> bytecode: http://torrent.ubuntu.com/releases/intrepid/release/dvd/

[15:39] <Sw4w> heelp me
[15:39] <Pici> !ask | Sw4w
[15:40] <Otacon22Laptop> I've a problem: i discharged my eeepc while i was installing a program with apt... now at the end of apt-get update i read this
[15:40] <Otacon22Laptop> http://rafb.net/p/mNqJGF90.html
[15:41] <Otacon22Laptop> (in italian)
[15:41] <Sw4w> how to install ubuntu  in new pc?i don't have the cd installation?
[15:41] <SlimeyPete> Sw4w: download the CD from the Ubuntu website.
[15:41] <thiebaude> Otacon22something about list i think
[15:42] <cutterjohn> actually about half the packages that don't need to be removed to remove kde/qt remove those packages in a half-***ed fashion too
[15:42] <cutterjohn> they leave 2/3 or more of the install behind
[15:42] <Neaai> erUSUL: I solved that routing issue. Apparently, adding the desired route via the nm-applet at topright of the screen doesn't work. I had to add it from the command line:     route add -net <IP_ADDRESS>/16 gw <public.ip.of.gateway>
[15:42] <raul> i installed ubuntu and grub in the mbr .. now it says grub error 17
[15:42] <cutterjohn> e.g. doc, support files, extra libs, etc.
[15:42] <raul> just soon after installing
[15:43] <raul> why>
[15:43] <raul> ?
[15:43] <guest6294> can anyone recommend a good linux distro for a broadcom based wireless laptop, like acer aspire 5315? ubuntu has the wireless broadcom in this regard, broken
[15:43] <guest6294> Neaai, network manager is broken
[15:44] <cutterjohn> my favorite one, is that the KDE/Qt remove instruction, removes subversion?!
[15:44] <Neaai> guest6294: I hear the same thing from debian comuntiy as well. If the damned thing is broken can't it be replaced by some other util ?
[15:44] <cutterjohn> (but it leaves the docs and dev package behind)
[15:44] <andresmh> when clicking on the icon of one of my partitions, I get mount_point  cannot contain the following characters: newline, G_DIR_SEPARATOR (usually /)
[15:45] <andresmh> I went to gconf-editor and looked in System > Storage > volumes and there weren't any devices listed there
[15:45] <LjL> cutterjohn: which instructions are you referring to?
[15:45] <guest6294> Neaai, talk to those saints at the dev team, and ask them to fix the whireless troubles to, while your there ... heh
[15:46] <cutterjohn> LjL: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
[15:46] <norbert79> Good day
[15:46] <cutterjohn> LjL: an imbecile wrote them out
[15:46] <cutterjohn> LjL: then I was a bigger imbecile for not vetting them first
[15:46] <raul> i get error grub error 17 soon after installing ubuntu
[15:47] <raul> i have a software raid sytem
[15:47] <ikonia> raul: what raid level
[15:47] <soulfringe> anyone know how i can disable this damned infernal touchpad on my eeePC 1000 w/ ubuntu 8.04 ?
[15:47] <raul> raid 0
[15:47] <ikonia> you can't have /boot on raid 0
[15:47] <raul> it's outside indeed
[15:48] <ikonia> raul: so you have a seperate /boot partition that is not on a raid device
[15:48] <Neaai> guest6294: you're right. It's sad to know that these things are fixed via hacks and then the same efforts put to this hacking could be spent to set the mechanism right once and then hold onto that standardised way.
[15:48] <LjL> cutterjohn: no imbecile wrote them, they're simply outdated
[15:48] <norbert79> soulfringe: Check your BIOS settings!
[15:48] <norbert79> soulfringe: You can disable it there
[15:48] <LjL> cutterjohn: they won't even *work* on my Hardy installation, because a lot of packages aren't installed to begin with
[15:48] <raul> ikonia right
[15:48] <cutterjohn> LjL: but a fair percentage of those packages NEVER had KDE/Qt deps EVER..
[15:48] <raul> and i have grub on mbr
[15:49] <ikonia> raul: and your raid devices are created with mdadm
[15:49] <raul> yes during debian installation
[15:49] <cutterjohn> LjL: and it still would've left behind pieces of a goodly number of packages as most have been broken down into sub packages for a while with no meta-package
[15:49] <guest6294> archlinux seems a good distro
[15:49] <ikonia> raul: your running debian ?
[15:49] <soulfringe> hurdd im rebooting now, thanks norbert\
[15:49] <norbert79> soulfringe: you are welcome
[15:49] <soulfringe> ack maasive typo
[15:50] <soulfringe> hard to type on this tiny thing without trying to get near the pad
[15:50] <LjL> !puregnome | cutterjohn
[15:50] <cutterjohn> LjL: e.g. ruby, ruby-dev, ruby-doc etc. but even then the meta package doesn't cover doc and dev
[15:50] <norbert79> soulfringe: Weird, I have no issues under 701
[15:50] <norbert79> soulfringe: Maybe thivk fingers? :)
[15:50] <raul> ikonia: yes
[15:50] <raul> i am running debian
[15:50] <ikonia> raul: then why are you asking in an #ubuntu channel
[15:51] <ikonia> raul: there is #debian for debian support
[15:51] <raul> oh tnx
[15:51] <Shred> hi
[15:51] <raul> isnt that the same installer?
[15:51] <Shred> Raff7
[15:51] <ikonia> raul: it doesn't matter
[15:51] <ikonia> raul: #debian is for debian support,
[15:51] <soulfringe> yea, big fingerd+ awkward positioning for me, since i usually rest my palms where the pad is
[15:52] <cutterjohn> LjL: well actually my main point was that it would've always left pieces behind AND it was purging apps that NEVER had anything to to with KDE/Qt, they were just pure CLI utils or X11 apps...
[15:52] <LjL> cutterjohn: you can see a list of what was removed if you do « grep remove /var/log/dpkg.log »
[15:52] <Spudina> lu
[15:52] <LjL> cutterjohn: so i removed it from the bot factoid.
[15:52] <cutterjohn> LjL:  I know, I'm in the process of putting back entirely non-KDE things like octave...
[15:53] <Guest66840> hi people, somebody solve the bug of usb 2.0 of ubuntu 8.10?
[15:53] <cutterjohn> LjL which would be one of my prime examples, true it has a Qt plot front end, but it OPTIONAL!
[15:53] <SID_seba> hi people, somebody solve the bug of usb 2.0 of ubuntu 8.10?
[15:53] <cutterjohn> LjL: ALWAYS has been... it's got about 5 other plotting front ends too...
[15:53] <ikonia> SID_seba: you just asked, ask a question then wait patiently for a response
[15:54] <cutterjohn> LjL:  I kind of wonder if that removal line was generated by a script...
[15:54] <SID_seba> ikonia: i know, just i change my nick
[15:54] <LjL> cutterjohn: i don't see octave in the list of those packages though, do you know what its removal is triggered by?
[15:54] <ikonia> SID_seba: we still saw your question
[15:55] <kennethgt> hi to all
[15:55] <a1len> Is it possible to change permissions for wine applications? How do I do it?
[15:55] <LjL> a1len: what do you mean? permissions to do what?
[15:56] <mphill> a1len: I think you would use the read bit since the wine is technically a wrapper
[15:56] <cutterjohn> LjL: It depends upon about 20 libraries just for th ebase package, so likely that line removed a dependent library truiggering it's removal as well then
[15:56] <ompaul> ikonia, * Received a CTCP VERSION from Shred (to #ubuntu)
[15:57] <kennethgt> someone has seen magicfab?
[15:57] <mphill> if you -r the .exe file they would not be able to run it
[15:57] <cutterjohn> LjL that web site ref needs to be removed as the dependencies are still off in removing non-KDE items
[15:57] <ikonia> ompaul: ta
[15:57] <a1len> I'm getting an error when I'm trying to run a program in wine that says '''failed adding SE_LOCK_MEMORY''' then it tells me to go to control panel and change something... but I have no control panel because this isn't windows.
[15:57] <LjL> cutterjohn, err, i've just removed it!
[15:57] <Neaai> ompaul: same. It was towards #ubuntu
[15:57] <LjL> !puregnome | cutterjohn, this doesn't mention it anymore, which is what i've been trying to say
[15:57] <LjL> cutterjohn: if it's in other places, then i don't know which
[15:58] <SlimeyPete> a1len: might be best to ask in #wine. Sounds like quite an obscure problem.
[15:58] <Tundrayeti311> a1len: What program? Is it listed in the Wine app db?
[15:58] <a1len> SlimeyPete: Alright! Thanks.
[15:58] <cutterjohn> ubottu: you gave me http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome in the firts place
[15:58] <cutterjohn> ubottu: I probably really just wanted the ubuntu-desktop package
[15:59] <guest6294> so ... can anyone help me set up my broadcom? I am running the default restricted driver Broadcom STA Wireless and I have trouble connecting to anything
[15:59] <LjL> a1len: you have some sort of control panel, it's "winecfg". no idea whether it'd do what you need though.
[15:59] <a1len> Tundrayeti311: No... lol.. I'm going through an emu thing right now... and the new pcsx2.. I can't get it to build from source correctly... and I don't know how to install the binary that I downloaded.
[15:59] <cutterjohn> LjL; wasn't sure if it really was a bot, but  it should have http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome removed from it's responses
[15:59] <LjL> cutterjohn: yes, I HAVE JUST REMOVED IT FROM ITS RESPONSES
[15:59] <zoopster> guest6294: what version?
[15:59] <benanzo> How can I make mail sent from root on my server say something other than 'root' in the From field?  For instance, I would like it to say the hostname instead
[16:00] <Tundrayeti311> a1len: um ok.. that really made no sense to me
[16:00] <kennethgt> ¬¬, someone has seen magicfab?
[16:00] <LjL> kennethgt: /whois magicfab
[16:01] <a1len> Tundrayeti311: Sorry about that.. I'm doing something half-arse because it's too hard to do correctly.
[16:01] <kennethgt> LjL, thanks for your answer
[16:01] <Tundrayeti311> a1len: np
[16:02] <cutterjohn> LjL: well thanks anyways, might be a good time to just try 64b again, as a new clean install might be easiest at this point
[16:02] <kennethgt> LjL, s part of canonical support and I need to communicate with him
[16:02] <guest6294> so ... can anyone help me set up my broadcom? I am running the default restricted driver Broadcom STA Wireless and I have trouble connecting to anything

[16:06] <famast> any ideas why this may be happening?
[16:06] <norbert79> famast: Guess you have to work on your router settings first
[16:06] <ikonia> famast: what are the two ip addresses and subnet masks
[16:06] <mphill> famast: can you get out to the internet?
[16:07] <SID_seba> something related with my question ?
[16:07] <ikonia> mphill: what does that matter ?
[16:07] <kbrooks> Hmm.
[16:07] <mphill> mayne its the router, maybe a firewall
[16:07] <kbrooks> OK
[16:07] <mphill> its a simple test to see if he has connnecticity
[16:07] <guest6294> so ... can anyone help me set up my broadcom? I am running the default restricted driver Broadcom STA Wireless and I have trouble connecting to anything
[16:07] <mphill> thats why
[16:08] <ikonia> mphill: who says he's going through a router ? who says this network is on the internet ?
[16:08] <norbert79> guest6294: I guess you should be more specific on the model and the Ubuntu version you are running, and not repeating the same question over and over again...
[16:08] <meganox> kbrooks: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/48361

[16:09] <guest6294> so ... can anyone help me set up my broadcom? I am running the default restricted driver Broadcom STA Wireless and I have trouble connecting to anything. My Broadcom is Broadcom 4311 running on an Ubuntu 8.10
[16:11] <guest6294> so ... can anyone help me set up my broadcom? I am running the default restricted driver Broadcom STA Wireless and I have trouble connecting to anything. My Broadcom is Broadcom 4311 running on an Ubuntu 8.10. I removed the buggy network manager, and for some arcane reason the wireless is detected as an eth1 instead of a wlan0 or something else. The interfaces file has the correct syntax for it.
[16:11] <radecek> hello
[16:12] <LjL> guest6294: and it refers to eth1 or wlan0?
[16:12] <meganox> guest6294: you could try wicd
[16:12] <meganox> !wicd | guest6294
[16:12] <guest6294> LjL, it is refered as eth1
[16:13] <guest6294> meganox: Yeah, I could, if I get my network up lol ...
[16:13] <meganox> guest6294: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php
[16:13] <meganox> guest6294: you are on irc, i assumed you were connected somehow ;)
[16:14] <LjL> guest6294: you could try renaming it (not sure it'd help). edit /etc/iftab and add:   wlan0 mac XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX    where the X's are your card's MAC address
[16:14] <guest6294> meganox, from another machine :)
[16:15] <Neaai> guest6294: I'd think it's correct the refference to eth1 and not wlan0
[16:15] <guest6294> LjL: another trouble is, if I include the auto eth1 stuff plus the dhcp stuff in my interfaces file, when I try to set the mode manually using iwconfig, it gives me SET failed on device, invalid argument error
[16:15] <wiehan> what is the quick and simple command to clear the font cache (or reload it) in ubuntu?
[16:15] <magnetron> !info wicd
[16:15] <guest6294> Neaai, I dont care how it's named really, i cant connect to anything
[16:15] <kbrooks> guest6294, how are you running iwconfig?
[16:16] <guest6294> kbrooks, as root in command line
[16:16] <guest6294> kbrooks iwconfig eth1 essid "blablabla" and then iwconfig eth1 mode Managed
[16:16] <radecek> my ubuntu is stop boot on 7 ports detected,  ... new hight speed usb.. Haw can I fix this? tkx :)
[16:16] <Neaai> guest6294: when "lspci | grep Broadcom" is it properly listed or has some word 'unknown' there ?
[16:16] <LjL> wiehan: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig" or "sudo fc-cache -f -v"
[16:17] <wiehan> LjL: THANKS a million
[16:17] <guest6294> Neaai: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01)
[16:17] <Neaai> that's correct all right.
[16:18] <DarkKnight> hey how can we forcefully mount a drive
[16:19] <ratpoison> hello! pulseaudio server keeps crashing, Intrepid amd64 user. What to do?
[16:19] <guest6294> well, it is correct, the trouble is ... I dunno, even the LEDS are working in reverse, when the led is off the wireless works and vice versa
[16:19] <mphill> DarkKnight: -f is the force parameter, but if it won't mount it won't mount.
[16:19] <guest6294> and I cant afford a macbook so im stuck with this broadcom crap
[16:19] <DarkKnight> mphill; so wats th exact command
[16:20] <mphill> mount -f device target
[16:20] <mphill> or man mount
[16:20] <ratpoison> DarkKnight: what are you trying to mount?
[16:21] <DarkKnight> patpoison; i have 2 HDD.. one is installed with XP...Xp crashed...and ther are some files on desktop..which i have to get back
[16:21] <guest6294> so, no one can help eh?
[16:21] <Neaai> guest6294: This might be useful to you:    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2431305#post2431305
[16:22] <ratpoison> DarkKnight: For ease of use, try typing part of my nick and pressing tab, so that I can tell when you speak to me
[16:22] <guest6294> Neaai: then why the hell those people use an official broadcom driver?
[16:23] <ratpoison> DarkKnight: now, first create a temporary folder in /media or /mnt for example, /media/tempdisk
[16:23] <mphill> DarkKnight: why are you trying to force the mount? you don't have to do that.  is the try NTFS or FAT32?
[16:23] <mphill> s/try/drive
[16:24] <ratpoison> DarkKnight: this is done with $ sudo mkdir /media/tempdisk
[16:24] <pelle2> inget resultat.. hmm
[16:25] <ratpoison> DarkKnight: then it's $ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/<appropriate_device_name> /media/tempdisk -f
[16:25] <Neaai> guest6294: I believe the results vary on a combination of facts, not only the wireless interface manufacturer. As in chipset/processor too. I've had the same sort of isues with Atheros. One intel laptop used it fine, another that was amd64 didn't use it unless I messed with it for a while and compiled the module myself.
[16:25] <n0yd> Does the 8.10 kernel have ext4 support (experimental) built in or would that require a recompile?
[16:26] <mphill> ratpoison: XP can also be fat32.  But it is probably ntfs if he is having issues mounting.
[16:26] <DarkKnight> mphill; i m not sure bcoz i installed XP long time back...most probably shld be NTFS
[16:26] <mphill> n0yd: I do not believe so, mkfs.ext4 is there but you can not mount
[16:26] <mphill> DarkKnight: then do what ratpoison said
[16:26] <n0yd> K, just curious
[16:26] <n0yd> Thx
[16:27] <ratpoison> mphill: you're right DarkKnight: check your System > Admin > Partition Editor and see what type is your partition
[16:27] <mphill> ratpoison: I don't think gparted is installed by default
[16:27] <ratpoison> DarkKnight: if such an entry doesn't exist, first do a sudo apt-get install gparted
[16:28] <bor1> I get the error "E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on libsasl2-2" when trying to upgrade hardy -> intrepid.. how to fix?
[16:28] <L0neWolf> Can anyone recommend a small and relatively easy to configure file server application?  I'm having trouble sending files to someone over IM and it's a quick fix
[16:28] <linux1> :) afternoon ppl
[16:28] <mphill> bor1: from the command like try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[16:28] <vignesh> why is alien an administrative application ?? :o
[16:28] <mphill> s/like/line
[16:28] <L0neWolf> linux1, hola
[16:29] <bor1> mphill: that's on sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -s
[16:29] <mphill> vignesh: install fakeroot and do fakeroot alient debian_file.deb
[16:30] <mphill> vignesh: alien makes me weep
[16:30] <afief> Does anybody know how to make Audacity play sounds right now it keeps telling me that there is an error opening the sound device...
[16:30] <Dist-> using the command line, how do i move all files at one location, to inside a folder thats at the same location as those files?
[16:30] <vignesh> mphill, why is it an administrative app ?? it is just to generate a deb... cant a normal user do that...
[16:30] <vignesh> mphill, it does make me weep too :-(
[16:30] <L0neWolf> Can anyone recommend a small and relatively easy to configure www accessible file server application?
[16:30] <ne2k__> Dist-: just mv * subdir/; it will give a warning saying "cannot move subdir into itself" but it doesn't matter -- it does what you want
[16:31] <ratpoison> vignesh: and creating packages isn't an admin task? then what is?
[16:31] <mphill> vignesh: I think it tries to install it system wide at the of te conversion, just run it in fakeroot
[16:31] <ratpoison> vignesh: it's not as simple as you might think!
[16:31] <vignesh> ratpoison, probably..!!
[16:31] <DarkKnight> mphill, ratpoison; its ntfs..
[16:32] <mphill> DarkKnight: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
[16:32] <ne2k__> L0neWolf: if you have internet access to either end then why not just use ssh?
[16:32] <guest6294> any way to install wicd on ubuntu 8.10? apt get does not find it
[16:32] <ne2k__> L0neWolf: if you're both behind nat then a web server won't help you
[16:32] <DarkKnight> mphill; that is installed
[16:32] <L0neWolf> ne2k__, I can but I'm trying to get a file to a non-tech savvy friend and this is easier.  IM isn't working
[16:32] <ne2k__> L0neWolf: e-mail?
[16:33] <L0neWolf> ne2k__, ISO images
[16:33] <L0neWolf> :)
[16:33] <c0d3dm1nd> Hi, I was wondering if anybody knew how people could write a website to index .torrent files.... how to index data from others trackers
[16:33] <paul68> !cloning > paul68
[16:33] <ratpoison> DarkKnight: then do as prompted earlier
[16:33] <ne2k__> L0neWolf: do you have a public IP or the ability to do destination nat on your router?
[16:33] <mphill> mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/[insert hard drive device here] /mnt/[target location here]
[16:33] <meganox> guest6294: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php instructions to add wicd repos there
[16:33] <sdubois92> how can i see what modules are currently being used?
[16:33] <Kelmi> join #zymosis
[16:33] <ne2k__> sdubois92: lsmod
[16:34] <L0neWolf> ne2k__, I can forward to my IP from the router, I can do it in Windows easily enough but I'm new to Linux
[16:34] <SlimeyPete> c0d3dm1nd: trackers communicate via http so I think you can just send a list request of some kind and then parse the response. You'd be better off asking in a web programming channel though.
[16:34] <ne2k__> L0neWolf: install one of the http servers then and forward port 80 to your box through your router
[16:34] <c0d3dm1nd> SlimeyPete: Thanks!
[16:34] <L0neWolf> ne2k__, is there one you'd recommend in particular?
[16:34] <vignesh> L0neWolf, apache
[16:34] <meganox> L0neWolf: yousendit.com, megaupload.com
[16:35] <ne2k__> L0neWolf: haven't used anything other than apache but it's a bit heavyweight for your needs. try lighttpd, boa or fnord
[16:35] <L0neWolf> meganox, they'd see it as illegal, it isn't but they'd see it that way
[16:36] <L0neWolf> ne2k__, alright, I'll give it a look.  if all else fails I can always go back to windows and IIS  *shudders*
[16:36] <meganox> L0neWolf: fair use, i getcha ;)
[16:36] <ne2k__> L0neWolf: I don't really know what the advantages and disadvantages of each are, I'm afraid.
[16:36] <reqqit> why is nautilus so slow? it takes almost half a second to show ANY folder. /home for instance contains two users, it takes about 700ms to show the two folders, why?
[16:36] <mphill> ne2k__, L0neWolf also look at cherokee, I saw that on the the web yesterday.  Even have a mac like web gui for adminstration.
[16:36] <c0d3dm1nd> SlimeyPete: Do you know if I can find any documentation about the type of requests I can make to a http/UDP tracker?
[16:36] <L0neWolf> meganox, not quite  :P  but close enough.
[16:37] <L0neWolf> mphill, ok will do, thank you  :)
[16:37] <reqqit> Does anyone else see a delay in showing files in every nautilus folder? even those with zero or one files?
[16:37] <reqqit> *&$*&$*& it, thunar doesn't have this problem
[16:37] <SlimeyPete> c0d3dm1nd: not off the top of my head, no, sorry
[16:37] <nil> hi!
[16:38] <zleap> hi
[16:38] <reqqit> I am using thunar - everyone see if there is a tiny delay in files appearing when you show folders, it became maddening.
[16:38] <pLr> how can i get the mirror list from synaptic through the command line?
[16:38] <guest6294> meganox: followed the instruction, does not work
[16:38] <SlimeyPete> pLr: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:38] <ne2k__> L0neWolf: cherokee sounds reasonable too. I'd start with fnord and see how you go.
[16:38] <nil> my keyboard is layout is broken by intrepid, cf bug 255008
[16:38] <pronoy> how do i download gnome 2.4 on kubuntu 8.10 and ultimately remove kde ?
[16:38] <SlimeyPete> pLr: oh, you mean available mirrors? I'm not sure of that
[16:38] <nil> i try sudo setxkbmap -model evdev -layout jp -variant 106
[16:39] <DRebellion> pronoy, sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[16:39] <nil> but there still are some bad keys
[16:39] <pLr> SlimeyPete: this does not have all mirrors, it only contains the ones already selected
[16:39] <DRebellion> pronoy, make sure stuff works, then, sudo aptitude purge kubuntu-desktop
[16:39] <ne2k__> pronoy: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop; apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop
[16:39] <nil> anyone there using a japanese keyboard?
[16:39] <L0neWolf> ne2k__, yeah I'm gonna take a look at cherokee and fnord then work up  :)
[16:39] <pLr> nil: #ubuntu-jp
[16:39] <ne2k__> pronoy: be warned, it will take quite a while
[16:39] <root2> exit
[16:39] <nil> pLr: in english?
[16:40] <orochi_> hello :> i first tried intrepid when it came out but there were a number of show-stopper bugs in the final release (one was that you couldn't eject a cd/dvd without the drive closing itself up again :<) Have any of these more serious problems been resolved yet?
[16:40] <nil> pLr: (my japanese encoding stuff is also broken)
[16:40] <orochi_> i'd like to be able to use ubuntu as my primary desktop os again :>
[16:40] <ne2k__> nil: 私は日本語を話すことができない。
[16:40] <pLr> nil: Join the #ubuntu-jp channel they are more likely to be of help
[16:40] <pLr> how can i get the mirror list from synaptic through the command line?
[16:40] <mphill> L0neWolf: i've never used cherokee, bit it looked really interesting.  make sure you have php5-cgi installed if you plan to use php since there is no php mod (everyone use uses cgi or fastcgi)
[16:41] <nil> ne2k__: ne2k__ I can't type in japanese (i I don't speak japanese se well, also)
[16:41] <nil> well, let's try -jp; thanks
[16:41] <[c0re]> can anyone tell me where to get emerald theme repo?
[16:41] <L0neWolf> mphill, I don't think I'll need that, it's just to host an ISO for a non-tech friend who wouldn't understand FTP
[16:42] <mphill> L0neWolf: you are set then, just copy the file to /var/www/ and removed the index.html that is the simplest thing you can do.
[16:42] <pLr> how can i get the mirror list from synaptic through the command line?
[16:42] <Dist-> my ubuntu desktop has 2 screens which i can change between, is there any way i can set up an independant wallpaper for each one? or preferably have a single wallpaper that goes across from one to the other?
[16:43] <bor1> When running 'apt-get dist-upgrade -s' (hardy -> intrepid), I get the error "E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on libsasl2-2". Ideas?
[16:43] <pLr> bor1: try upgrading from the add/remove programs tool
[16:43] <zlodei> как запустить убунту под рутом
[16:43] <L0neWolf> mphill, yeah  :)  thanks for the suggestion, cherokee does look interesting too
[16:43] <zlodei> ?
[16:43] <zlodei> подскажите пли
[16:43] <zlodei> з
[16:43] <FloodBot2> zlodei: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:43] <LjL> !ru | zlodei
[16:44] <bor1> pLr: I did, it stopped in the middle of trying to upgrade; I'm assuming for the same reason
[16:44] <NicEXE> ubuntu can't download a file with a link similar to that --> http://rapidshare.com..... unless I modify the link to http://www.rapidshare.com...... How can I fix it? it's really annoying trying to download around 50 files at the time using windows on Virtual Box...
[16:45] <meganox> orochi_: is Hardy no good for you?
[16:45] <pLr> NicEXE: just add it to your /etc/hosts file
[16:45] <pLr> how can i get the mirror list from synaptic through the command line?
[16:45] <pronoy> DRebellion: is it possible stuff won't work ?!?!
[16:45] <pronoy> ne2k_:gotcha
[16:45] <NicEXE> pLr: how to do that?
[16:45] <pronoy> D
[16:45] <mchelen> NicEXE, try drop.io or some other site
[16:46] <pronoy> DRebellion: and is kde better or gnome ?
[16:46] <nil> ne2k__: you have a jp keyboard? os just a classic us version?
[16:46] <j2daosh> ok, where do i need to go to get my atheros working? i already have the drivers downloaded, made, and installed... but i still cant connect to wireless networks
[16:46] <DRebellion> pronoy, i personally use gnome, but this is a matter of opinion
[16:46] <pLr> NicEXE: echo "www.rapidshare.com     rapidshare.com" >> /etc/hosts
[16:46] <ne2k__> nil: I have a GB keyboard
[16:46] <apelW> how do I use a public key to login to a server? do I need to add command line parametres to ssh?
[16:47] <pronoy> DRebellion: also...when they say intrepid is not a long terms support version...what do they mean ?
[16:47] <kpuljek> i need help disabling the screensaver in ubuntu. i disabled it in screensaver settings, xscreensaver settings, i disabled it in the gconf-editor, i prevented it's processes to start, i checked the box in all of my players to disable the screensaver, and it still goes blank after 10 minutes :|
[16:47] <pLr> NicEXE: then repeat your test
[16:47] <pLr> pronoy: ubuntu has LTS and non LTS, go to ubuntu.com to read about LTS
[16:47] <zleap> kpuljek: that could be a power saving thing for the monitor
[16:47] <apelW> how do I use a public key to login to a server? do I need to add command line parametres to ssh?
[16:47] <DRebellion> pronoy, long term support (LTS) releases are officially supported with security/bug fixes for much longer than non-LTS releases
[16:47] <nil> ne2k__: yep, US/GB, OK
[16:47] <NicEXE> pLr: type that to my terminal?
[16:47] <pLr> NicEXE: yes
[16:47] <kpuljek> zleap: it's not. that i disabled and it didn't do any more problems, this is a screensaver
[16:47] <rootrot> gvfsd-burn keeps crashing when i use it,could someone suggest another method for buring an iso to cd?
[16:48] <meganox> pronoy: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
[16:48] <shiMMer> i set wallpaper on my fluxbox but it not work after i restart.
[16:48] <zleap> ok
[16:48] <mphill> apelW: ssh-keygen -b 2048 -t rsa
[16:48] <kek> what's the proper way to prevent a module from being loaded (or remove it) at startup?
[16:48] <zleap> hmm
[16:48] <kek> kernel module
[16:48] <apelW> mphill:  I know. I mean when I want to connect with that
[16:48] <mphill> apelW: then copy .ssh/id_rsa.pub to the host's .ssh/authorized_keys
[16:48] <pLr> how can i get the mirror list from synaptic through the command line?
[16:48] <pronoy> DRebellion: so would it be advisable to install intrepid ?
[16:48] <NicEXE> pLr: permission denied
[16:48] <DRebellion> pronoy, i would recommend intrepid
[16:48] <pLr> NicEXE: add sudo before the command
[16:49] <mphill> apelW: then you will be in ssh key bliss
[16:49] <NicEXE> pLr: i did
[16:49] <Neaai> pLr: of what's available or what you are using currently ?
[16:49] <Pici> pLr, NicEXE: You can't use IO redirection with sudo directly, so do something like: echo "text" | sudo tee -a /path/to/file   instead
[16:49] <pLr> Neaai: available
[16:49] <pronoy> DRebellion: but it won't be supported for long ?!
[16:50] <guest6294> what's the "Default" wireless connection always appearing in ubuntu? For some strange reason, although I broadcast my network name, it is not see, any other network in the neighborhood is seen
[16:50] <DarkKnight> ratpoison; its not working that way...
[16:50] <pLr> Pici: yes im aware thx
[16:50] <DRebellion> pronoy, not as long as the LTS releases, but then you can just update to 9.04 (jaunty) when it comes out! ;)
[16:51] <pronoy> DRebellion: yeah...i guess....thanks for support
[16:51] <PeskyJ> I've installed mplayer and ubuntu-restricted-extras but still can't play DVDs - mplayer just goes black and unresponsive - is there another package to install?
[16:51] <pLr> NicEXE: here it is : sudo echo "www.rapidshare.com    rapidshare.com" | tee -a /etc/hosts
[16:51] <Neaai> pLr: I doubt there's such a thing. Mirror lists can change everyday so your best bet is to check the webpage, or some convention as in:   deb http://XX.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
[16:51] <pLr> NicEXE: here it is : sudo echo "www.rapidshare.com    rapidshare.com" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts
[16:51] <DarkKnight> mphill; its not working that way
[16:52] <Neaai> pLr: where XX are the country codes of the mirror: it, de, au, etc.
[16:52] <mphill> what is the error, msg me
[16:52] <pLr> Neaai: when using synaptic under repositories you can choose a list of mirrors, i want to find the file that contains this list
[16:52] <bor1> (hardy -> intrepid upgrade) When running 'apt-get dist-upgrade -s' (hardy -> intrepid), I get the error "E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on libsasl2-2". The update-manager graphical tool doesn't work either, possibly for the same reason. apt-get install libsasl2-2 fails with the same error. Ideas?
[16:53] <rootrot> how do i run a .sh file?
[16:54] <meganox> rootrot: chmod a+x script.sh
[16:54] <kebomix> hello , i have boot sector virus and i cant install even Ubuntu and Windows Xp , any Solutions  that ?
[16:54] <meganox> rootrot: to mark it executable
[16:55] <DarkKnight> hey how can we forcefully mount a drive
[16:55] <pLr> bor1: apt-get remove libsasl2; apt-get install libsasl2   .. then retest
[16:55] <meganox> rootrot: then run it by name
[16:55] <meganox> rootrot: e.g. /path/to/script.sh
[16:55] <mphill> rootrot: or sh script_name.sh
[16:55] <pLr> when using synaptic under repositories you can choose a list of mirrors, where is the file that contains this list???
[16:55] <mphill> rootrot: or sh ./script_name.sh rather
[16:55] <rootrot> meganox: david@IceWeasel:~/Desktop$ chmod a+x URT41.sh
[16:55] <rootrot> david@IceWeasel:~/Desktop$ URT41.sh
[16:55] <rootrot> bash: URT41.sh: command not found
[16:55] <rootrot>
[16:55] <cutterjohn> LjL:  well I wrote a script to drag out all that had been removed, then compared it with partial packages and manually looked over it for other missing items instead of completely re-installing
[16:55] <FloodBot2> rootrot: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:55] <bor1> pLr: I thought of that; apt depends on libsasl2, though, so it's not the best solution :)
[16:56] <rootrot> nm i gots it
[16:56] <Neaai> pLr: I can't find anything about that. I know what you mean, i just don't know where that list is stored.
[16:56] <Maizcul> Hey hey
[16:56] <apelW> mphill:  ok. then what do I do? ssh -Y "hostname" ?
[16:56] <LjL> cutterjohn: good idea
[16:56] <cutterjohn> LjL: all seems to be goodish again... but ... er.. unclean... but I guess it was a couple days after install anyways
[16:56] <pLr> Neaai: yeah I think i need a developer
[16:57] <cutterjohn> LjL: also saw the weirdest CPU scaling behavior, manually look at procinfo, the 2 CPUs were listed at running at different speeds... I didn't know that, that was even possible
[16:57] <xteejx> ! lunt | DarkKnight
[16:57] <xteejx> !mount | DarkKnight
[16:57] <LjL> cutterjohn: i think it is, i've seen evidence of that happening on my eeepc
[16:57] <mphill> apelW: no need for -Y should just be automatic
[16:57] <Maizcul> Anyone help me out with keyboard issues?
[16:57] <xteejx> maybe not
[16:57] <Jack_Sparrow> pLr do you mean /etc/apt/sources.list   ?
[16:58] <cutterjohn> LjL: the N10j or the original Eee?
[16:58] <LjL> cutterjohn: an EeePC 901
[16:58] <cutterjohn> LjL: SSD?
[16:58] <pLr> when using synaptic under repositories you can choose a list of all mirrors, where is the file that contains this list???
[16:58] <LjL> cutterjohn: yes, with Atom processor
[16:58] <Jack_Sparrow> pLr do you mean /etc/apt/sources.list   ?
[16:58] <pLr> Jack_Sparrow:not sources.list
[16:58] <cutterjohn> LjL: yeah, the N270, they all pretty much come withthat now
[16:58] <apelW> mphill:  ok. ssh hostname.domainname didn't work from the linux computer. but it still works from the windows computer.
[16:58] <pLr> Jack_Sparrow: it does not contain all ubuntu mirrors
[16:58] <LjL> cutterjohn: well, the 900 is still sold with a Celeron
[16:58] <Maizcul> I'm on a Sony Vaio PCG-K195BP laptop from 2004, trying to get the "fn" key working so I can do things like "fn"+"F4" for volume up.
