[12:04] <AmaroqWolf> Unless... what does it say in that now? Does it have what you put in there before, or is it back to the way it was?
[12:04] <AmaroqWolf> his nameserver is his router's IP address.
[12:04] <MarcoPau> a program installer asks for where the kernel headers are. I have both linux-headers-2.6.20-6/ and linux-headers-2.6.20-6-generic/. Which one am I supposed to pick?
[12:04] <AzMoo> That's not necessarily a problem.
[12:04] <Baoss> CAN ANYBODY TELL ME DOES XFMEDIA PROGRAM RUN m2v format?? please
[12:04] <AmaroqWolf> It isn't? I have three nameservers, and none of them are my router's IP.
[12:05] <felixhummel> !console
[12:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about console - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:05] <Bogaurd> !linux-k7
[12:05] <ubotu> linux-k7: Obsoleted by: linux-generic. In component restricted, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS> (edgy), package size 23 kB, installed size 52 kB
[12:05] <AzMoo> AmaroqWolf, It depends entirely on your network setup. Many routers will forward dns requests to the nameservers defined, or work as caching name servers.
[12:05] <Bogaurd> :(
[12:05] <Bogaurd> Obsoleted by linux-generic
[12:05] <AmaroqWolf> Ah
[12:05] <Bogaurd> what the hell does that mean?!

[12:06] <AmaroqWolf> dezinezan, what do you see in the window?
[12:07] <lowfi> felixhummel, did you see my answer?
[12:07] <AzMoo> Bogaurd, it means that the package you're looking for (linux-k7) is obsolete and has been replaced with linux-generic
[12:07] <felixhummel> lowfi, yes. I just needed to enable universe ;)
[12:08] <felixhummel> lowfi, "gpm has no installation candidate" - universe and multiverse enabled
[12:11] <felixhummel> that's weird... gpm should be in universe (http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/edgy/misc/gpm), but i can't install it (enabled universe and multiverse, did sudo apt-get update). can someone test that please?
[12:11] <dezinezan> kk
[12:12] <livingdaylight> is #ubuntu back to normal?
[12:13] <lowfi> felixhummel, it's in universe here, but i'm on feisty.
[12:13] <metamoss> felixhummel: I'm showing gpm in universe as well (also on feisty)
[12:14] <dezinezan> okie

[12:18] <livingdaylight> ok, i gotz a question: I've installed two apps. Azureus and Nicotineplus from sourcforge. I.e download tarball, extract and execute as you all know. My problem is i want to create a launcher from Applications Menu and i don't want to have these folders in my home directory where i downloaded the tarballs. How can i move it to /usr/local or soemehwer appropriate? please?
[12:18] <AmaroqWolf> sounds about right.
[12:19] <felixhummel> how do I disable beeps on console (tty01, NOT xterm/gnome-terminal)?
[12:19] <KuHlii> mistform, because im trying to setup my wireless intel 3945abg, and i keep getting errors in system log saying ieee80211 saying unknown symbol... and i have asked in here and under #linux and no one seems to be able to help, and someone said install ndiswrapper.
[12:19] <MarcoPau> AzMoo: yessir
[12:19] <KuHlii> so i am?
[12:19] <AmaroqWolf> cancel out of that
[12:19] <KuHlii> is that not correct?
[12:19] <AzMoo> dezinezan, go to applications, accessories and terminal and type in "ifconfig". What does the inet addr say?
[12:19] <dezinezan> ok
[12:19] <AzMoo> MarcoPau, #ubuntu+1
[12:19] <KuHlii> i have install network manager and it detects my wireless network, however just does not connect
[12:20] <AmaroqWolf> go to the hosts tab
[12:20] <mistform> KuHlii, I have a bcm43xx chipset and I found another way to get it to work
[12:20] <felixhummel> livingdaylight, to move it, just type sudo mv yourfolder /usr/local
[12:20] <KuHlii> really?
[12:20] <KuHlii> how was that?
[12:20] <MarcoPau> AzMoo: ok
[12:20] <livingdaylight> felixhummel, ok, thanks
[12:20] <mistform> but right now, for some reason, my device disables itself every time I try to connect with wifi-radar
[12:20] <dezinezan> ifconfig..  im sure i already tryed that
[12:20] <livingdaylight> felixhummel, so to move the whole folder like that is correct?
[12:21] <dezinezan> where is hosts tab?
[12:21] <KuHlii> oh ok
[12:21] <felixhummel> livingdaylight, yep. I think so. ;)
[12:21] <aalhamad> gkrellm is great.. but is there a clock theme i can enable it on gnome...
[12:21] <AmaroqWolf> dezinezan, in the Network Settings window. If you closed that properties of eth0 one.
[12:21] <felixhummel> a man gotta eat.
[12:21] <VoX> how do i stop udev/hal from automounting a/any usb device?
[12:21] <dezinezan> oh
[12:21] <dezinezan> ok
[12:21] <livingdaylight> felixhummel, how do i then make laucnher from applications menu.? menu edit and browse and point path to usr/loca/folder/...?
[12:21] <dezinezan> ok host is up
[12:22] <blahish> ok folks, off to try the cd! [seemed to burn fine?]
[12:22] <miles_> Hey guys, what should I do when thunderbird is frozen and I'd want to restore the mail I was typing?
[12:22] <AmaroqWolf> is there one that says 192.168.0.something
[12:22] <dezinezan> nope, not at all
[12:22] <dezinezan> add?
[12:22] <dezinezan> O_O
[12:22] <AmaroqWolf> any that start with 192 at all?
[12:23] <dezinezan> nope
[12:23] <KuHlii> mistform, so how did u get it to work?
[12:23] <dezinezan> 127..
[12:23] <AmaroqWolf> what does the second line say?
[12:23] <AmaroqWolf> it probably has a 127
[12:23] <dezinezan> <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:23] <dezinezan> Kepnuk
[12:23] <AmaroqWolf> actually you probably have two 127's
[12:23] <livingdaylight> felixhummel, and put sudo because /usr/local is not home directory and requres root priviledges, right?
[12:23] <AmaroqWolf> I had the same problem.
[12:23] <miles_> f*cking unreliable email client
[12:23] <dezinezan> that looks like something i have seen before, like using  whois programs, for a default ip or something
[12:24] <dezinezan> yewa
[12:24] <AmaroqWolf> There should be two <IP_ADDRESS>'s, one with your computer name, and another with localhost and your computer name
[12:24] <dezinezan> it says 127 stuff
[12:24] <dezinezan> yea
[12:24] <AmaroqWolf> click the one that says your computer name, without the localhost
[12:24] <dezinezan> thats there
[12:24] <AmaroqWolf> then click properties
[12:24] <dezinezan> ok clicked..?
[12:24] <dezinezan> kk
[12:25] <AmaroqWolf> in your terminal, do ifconfig again to see what your IP address is.
[12:25] <mistform> KuHlii, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1071920&mode=linear

[12:25] <dezinezan> <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:26] <dezinezan> put a diff name or anything?
[12:26] <dezinezan> or just change the ip
[12:26] <AmaroqWolf> okay, you have that little window that says IP Address: <IP_ADDRESS>, Alia your computer name?
[12:26] <dezinezan> change ip, and click ok?
[12:26] <dezinezan> Aliases: Kepnuk
[12:26] <AmaroqWolf> yes, change IP to <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:26] <dezinezan> yep, changed
[12:26] <AmaroqWolf> the same as your IP
[12:26] <AmaroqWolf> then click okay
[12:26] <dezinezan> dont touch the aliases?
[12:26] <dezinezan> right
[12:26] <AmaroqWolf> and then click okay again.

[12:39] <dezinezan> yea AzMoo
[12:39] <livingdaylight> pbureau, yes, and when i do the test i pass withe flying colors! :)
[12:39] <AzMoo> dezinezan, ok, try: traceroute <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:39] <livingdaylight> pbureau, you know the test whether the port is open
[12:40] <dezinezan> it says Command Not found..
[12:40] <AmaroqWolf> same for me
[12:40] <livingdaylight> pbureau, i put 45491 in the port column my internal ip tick enable and saved settings, and it told me it was fine, so i don't understand the error
[12:40] <AzMoo> Ah, you'll need to install it. sudo apt-get install traceroute
[12:41] <IdleOne> what is the command to install a .deb package I have downloaded to my desktop

[12:42] <AmaroqWolf> it's installing traceroute
[12:42] <AzMoo> dezinezan, yeah, it's just installing the traceroute program. This will show us where the issue is.

[12:43] <AzMoo> Off the CD?
[12:43] <AmaroqWolf> oh
[12:43] <pbureau> livingdaylight, let me check something
[12:43] <dezinezan> Temporary failure resolving 'us archive.ubuntu.com'
[12:43] <livingdaylight> lowfi, are you suggesting i need to change something in the script?
[12:43] <livingdaylight> pbureau, ok
[12:44] <dezinezan> brb
[12:44] <lowfi> livingdaylight, yes that's ok and the link is a desktop entry file to get azureus in the menu.
[12:44] <AmaroqWolf> dezinezan, I think you can put your ubuntu CD in the drive and try that command again.
[12:45] <lowfi> livingdaylight, put a file in called azureus.desktop in /usr/share/applications
[12:45] <livingdaylight> lowfi, i did it through Menu Editor. I added and browsed to /usr/local/azureus/launcher
[12:45] <zathras> can anyone help me with grub?
[12:45] <dezinezan> we never got that CD
[12:45] <lowfi> livingdaylight, ah ok.
[12:45] <viperxxl> !networking
[12:45] <dezinezan> we bought this computer and it came like this

[12:45] <pbureau> livingdaylight, and trying to get Azureus to run right ?
[12:45] <livingdaylight> lowfi, what file? and what how will that resolve the error message i'm getting?
[12:46] <AzMoo> dezinezan, damn. Hrm.
[12:46] <dezinezan> i was under the impression it was windows type
[12:46] <dezinezan> turned it on and was diff
[12:46] <AmaroqWolf> Did you get it cheap? lol
[12:46] <livingdaylight> pbureau, indeed. I don't like to see an error message telling my about ports which i know have been correctly set up
[12:46] <dezinezan> $250
[12:46] <pbureau> livingdaylight,  check this out. _ linksys/azuerus setup: http://ryanslife.net/2006/07/24/bittorrent-port-forwarding-with-a-linksys-wrt54g-router-and-azureus/
[12:46] <AmaroqWolf> ah. I was gonna suggest maybe it's previous owner broke the net, and dumped it on you. xD
[12:47] <lowfi> livingdaylight, not at all, i was referin to "felixhummel, how do i then make laucnher from applications menu.? menu edit and browse and point path to usr/loca/folder/...?" :)
[12:47] <dezinezan> in July im picking up new computers, 2 computers and 1 laptop, the computers made and upgraded by him, and
[12:47] <dezinezan> the laptop just upgraded..
[12:47] <dezinezan> but thats long away
[12:47] <dezinezan> and we needed something that had net
[12:47] <AzMoo> dezinezan, ok, might be able to get around it.
[12:47] <livingdaylight> lowfi, ok, thx. I've managed that part now :) Just trying to resolve the error message i get
[12:47] <dezinezan> but the guy was the type to come out and see whats wrong with the comp
[12:48] <AzMoo> dezinezan, click on your system menu>Administration>Network tools
[12:48] <dezinezan> if we called him, he probably come out and look at comp
[12:48] <dezinezan> ok
[12:48] <livingdaylight> lowfi, When i open Azureus i get an X Error: UpnP: Mapping 'Incoming Peer Data Port (UDP/45491)' faile
[12:49] <BalchD> Hi. Does an Ubuntu system have a list of currently installed packages that could be read when re-installing?
[12:49] <AzMoo> dezinezan, then click on the traceroute tab, put <IP_ADDRESS> into the text box, and hit the trace button.
[12:50] <dezinezan> ok
[12:50] <AzMoo> dezinezan, what do the first couple of rows say?
[12:50] <livingdaylight> pbureau, thx for digging that up. I've saved it and will go through it properly later, as i gotta go soon
[12:51] <livingdaylight> hopefully it'll fix it
[12:52] <dezinezan> one sec
[12:52] <DocTomoe> I have a problem with cryptsetup, which throws "Aufruf fehlgeschlagen: Incompatible libdevmapper 1.02.07 (2006-05-11)(compat) and kernel driver" at me... Googleing resulted in the wisdom to sudo cryptsetup, what I did in the first place ... any ideas on this one? (this is an Edgy)
[12:52] <pbureau> livingdaylight, your welcome..
[12:52] <livingdaylight> just finally and quickly: how do i remove kde desktop? i run gnome in ubuntu and added apt-get install kde-desktop i think but don't seem to be able to remove it
[12:52] <dezinezan> kepnuk   <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:53] <dezinezan> <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:54] <AzMoo> dezinezan, any more?
[12:54] <dezinezan> there is also dslrouters too
[12:54] <pbureau> DocTomoe, the only thing that comes to mind is that it is looking for a version of libdevmapper, now you may want to check with the INSTALL/READ documents of your application to see what dependencies are needed and use apt-get install to download packages or if you prefer gui (gnome) system-admin-synaptic and try to update (with a search) your libdevmapper file to perhaps a more recent one available
[12:54] <AzMoo> dezinezan,  dslrouters <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[12:55] <dezinezan> <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:55] <pbureau> !libdevmapper
[12:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about libdevmapper - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:55] <localverb> Hi guy's ..... I extremely like ubuntu but there is one thing that makes me very unsure about its future....many of you claim that free and open source software are much better in quality than others....but this is not the case with games........why??? aren't they software ? why all GNU/Linux games so poor? Please answer my question
[12:55] <AzMoo> dezinezan, are you running internet connection sharing on your windows pc?
[12:56] <dezinezan> yes the first computer is running windows
[12:56] <AzMoo> dezinezan, is it running internet connection sharing?
[12:56] <livingdaylight> adding kde-desktop has messed up and cluttered my gnome desktop with a busy Applications menu. How do i remove it?
[12:56] <adam_> localverb, games take a long time to create and most of the game developers were rather get paid to make those games.. im guessing? not 100% sure
[12:56] <pbureau> localverb, its realy not the forum to debate open source software quality. this is a help channel run by volunteers trying to give back and help others with their problem.. look for a debate channel
[12:57] <Daverocks> localverb: games are different to other types of software in that you need to pay lots of people to design graphics models, maps, etc. the big game companies don't build their games to run on linux because it doesn't have much market share
[12:57] <dezinezan> what do mean
[12:58] <AzMoo> damn, I don't have a windows pc here.
[12:58] <dezinezan> THIS computer is running windows.. the other we thought was windows when we saw it for sale.. but it turned out to be Ubuntu, which i have never heard of because i dont usally use mac's
[12:58] <localverb> I see thanks for your clarifying this to me
[12:58] <AmaroqWolf> Has your windows computer been set up to share it's internet connection with other computers?
[12:58] <Toma-> actually, its not that hard to port games to linux
[12:58] <dezinezan> theres gotta be a way to "share" the internet connection through windows?
[12:58] <AzMoo> dezinezan, I think there may be a conflict between your windows computer and your router.
[12:59] <dezinezan> im not sure..
[12:59] <dezinezan> and im not sure
[12:59] <Toma-> i mean, look what icculus.org does
[12:59] <AzMoo> dezinezan, yeah, I'm just trying to remember exactly what you need to do to check. Give me a minute.
[12:59] <localverb> I think porting games will not solve the problem
[12:59] <Daverocks> i _love_ how i can play unreal tournament natively on linux... epic games people are awesome for doing that
[12:59] <AmaroqWolf> There's one way he could test that. Unplug the windows comp from the router. That would disconnect though.
[01:00] <dezinezan> ok
[01:00] <adam_> are there linux drivers or anything like ndswrapper for Linksys Wireless USB Network Adapter?
[01:00] <dezinezan> i went to this..
[01:00] <dezinezan> went to the connection i use to connect to the net.. on the windows computer..
[01:00] <dezinezan> went to propertys..
[01:00] <dezinezan> went to advanced..
[01:00] <AmaroqWolf> adam_, there's a room. #ndswrapper I believe.
[01:00] <Daverocks> localverb: if linux had a lot of market share, the "good games" problem would be solved pretty much instantly. i don't know how many good FOSS games we'd see though.
[01:01] <dezinezan> Allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection (was unchecked)
[01:01] <dezinezan> is that important or what i needed?
[01:01] <dezinezan> Home Networking Connection..
[01:01] <dezinezan> Local Area COnnection
[01:01] <dezinezan> Local Area Connection 2
[01:01] <frogzoo> dezinezan: dude, for windows support -> #windows
[01:01] <Toma-> Daverocks: its more a point of lazy game develoment houses.
[01:01] <dezinezan> frogzoo i KNOW that
[01:01] <AzMoo> frogzoo, not windows support.
[01:02] <adam_> AmaroqWolf, I understand that - I'm trying to figure out if there are drivers for my USB Adapter
[01:02] <dezinezan> im only answering questions they asked
[01:02] <AmaroqWolf> We're trying to figure out if his windows computer is conflicting with his ubuntu one on the wired network
[01:02] <intelikey> what am i missing here ?
[01:02] <intelikey> (synaptic:5229): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
[01:02] <AmaroqWolf> adam_, oh okay.
[01:02] <Daverocks> Toma-: hmm.
[01:02] <new> hey
[01:02] <AzMoo> dezinezan, that "Allow other network users ..." is unchecked ?
[01:02] <dezinezan> it WAS
[01:03] <dezinezan> i checked it now..
[01:03] <dezinezan> but
[01:03] <Toma-> Daverocks: i mean, it would only take 1 email to Icculus to get a port for whatever to linux :) check this out... http://icculus.org/~icculus/resume.txt
[01:03] <dezinezan> it says to select ..
[01:03] <AmaroqWolf> I think you want it to stay unchecked.
[01:03] <dezinezan> Local Area Connection
[01:03] <new> im new to linux, but i was wondering if i could have both ubuntu and windows xp on my computer at the same time?
[01:03] <dezinezan> Local Area Connection 2
[01:03] <intelikey> i'm running gksudo synaptic in a terminal and tetting that error message   "(synaptic:5229): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:"   ?
[01:03] <Kunalagon> does somebody maybe know why when I restart comp. volumes disapperad on my desktop and nautilus, but I have hald and dbus succesfuly started on boot, and I have mounted volumes in my mount point ?
[01:03] <dezinezan> stay unchecked..
[01:03] <pbureau> DocTomoe, dunno if you checked but in synaptic with repos all turned on I get aq libdevmapper-dev file 1.02 did you install that ?
[01:03] <dezinezan> okie, its unchecked again
[01:03] <AzMoo> dezinezan, don't check it.
[01:03] <AmaroqWolf> check all of the network connections
[01:03] <Daverocks> Toma-: wow, he did _everything_
[01:03] <AmaroqWolf> and make sure they're all unchecked.
[01:03] <Toma-> yeh :D
[01:03] <verb_> Thanks to all those responded to my question ......
[01:04] <Daverocks> somebody should give that guy a medal
[01:04] <new> im new to linux, but i was wondering if i could have both ubuntu and windows xp on my computer at the same time?
[01:04] <AmaroqWolf> new, yes you can
[01:04] <Toma-> new: you sure can
[01:04] <dezinezan> ahmm

[01:05] <new> sweet, so i dont have to lose all my current media files etc ?
[01:05] <dezinezan> AmaroqWolf	check all of the network connections
[01:05] <dezinezan> AmaroqWolf	and make sure they're all unchecked.
[01:05] <dezinezan> meaning..?
[01:05] <dezinezan> O_O
[01:05] <AmaroqWolf> the share internet checkbox
[01:05] <AmaroqWolf> make sure they're unchecked in all of the networks
[01:06] <AzMoo> dezinezan, what's the name of the computer you're on now?
[01:06] <dezinezan> not sure
[01:06] <dezinezan> on the com name
[01:07] <AzMoo> dezinezan,  right-click on My Computer, click on the computer name tab.
[01:07] <AzMoo> er, my computer>properties
[01:07] <AzMoo> then computer name
[01:09] <new> is ubuntu more safe from spyware/adware etc compared to windows?
[01:09] <AzMoo> new, yes.
[01:09] <Daverocks> new: yes
[01:09] <Toma-> new no spyware+adware exists for ubuntu
[01:09] <new> sweet
[01:09] <dezinezan> Full Computer Name: home-htcrahb9l1
[01:09] <Toma-> also, you can really shell up by editing your /etc/hosts file and add all the adservers
[01:09] <Daverocks> no spyware exists as linux binaries, heh
[01:09] <Toma-> completely remove ads from websites :)
[01:10] <rpv> hi all
[01:10] <new> i just got my copy of ubuntu in the mail today, about to install it
[01:10] <AzMoo> dezinezan, ok. Here's the problem. You've got two different networks at your house. One of them is <IP_ADDRESS> and the other is <IP_ADDRESS>. How do you have your router set up?
[01:11] <dezinezan> im not sure
[01:11] <DexterF> hi
[01:11] <dezinezan> i just put the cords together how the guide said.. but when i tryed running the install router..
[01:11] <AzMoo> dezinezan, physically I mean. What plugs into it, what does it plug into?
[01:11] <DexterF> anyone here using midnight commander regularly with german i18n?
[01:11] <dezinezan> cords..?
[01:11] <AzMoo> dezinezan, also, what brand and model number is it?
[01:12] <AzMoo> dezinezan, no, what computers is it plugged into, and is it plugged into any other devices?
[01:12] <dezinezan> D-Link: Model: DIR-625
[01:12] <dezinezan> no.. a subwoofer..
[01:12] <dezinezan> speakers..
[01:12] <dezinezan> oh
[01:13] <dezinezan> INTO the router.?
[01:13] <dezinezan> JUST the 2 computers
[01:13] <nurdyx> it is possible to have vlc in destop
[01:13] <assasukasse> hi everyone, if i click on properties on a video file, open then choose which player it should be opened by default, i have two VLC voices there, how can i get rid of one?
[01:14] <AzMoo> dezinezan, and the router plugs directly into your phone line? Or are you using cable?
[01:14] <DYnamo_> Question: Anyone has any experience in dealign with or any links that deals with Global Load Balancing? We wanted to implemente it but it's hard to fine resources that deal with it. Any ideas?
[01:14] <MonkeyINAbaG> heyas... i just cloned an edgy box, and the clone gets past grub and perpetually reboots, and i cant figure out why....
[01:15] <dezinezan> phone
[01:15] <dezinezan> phone line
[01:15] <dondanielo> nurdyx : what do you mean by that?
[01:15] <dezinezan> which is plugged into the original modem still, it never told me to plug it in anywere else
[01:15] <new> is there any additional drivers/files i need to get before i install ubuntu?
[01:15] <AzMoo> dezinezan, what's the brand and model of the original?
[01:16] <dezinezan> ahm
[01:16] <twisties> !gnome dock
[01:16] <ubotu> gnome: The GNOME Desktop Environment, with extra components. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:<IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 12 kB, installed size 44 kB
[01:16] <DYnamo_> We were looking to implement something like this
[01:16] <DYnamo_> http://www.peer1.net/en/global.asp
[01:16] <dezinezan> LOL. as soon as i put them back on top of each other nice and neat i get asked to look at them again
[01:16] <dezinezan> one sec.. ill look
[01:16] <twisties> !gnome-dock
[01:16] <ubotu> gnome-dock is a MacOS X -like dock for the gnome desktop, see www.gnome-dock.org
[01:16] <twisties> hmmm.
[01:16] <twisties> Anyone else here using gnome-dock with beryl?
[01:16] <kuma> hi, i'm having problems mounting a DVD-RW to burn, can somebody jelp me?
[01:17] <nurdyx> dondanielo  i woud like to have  a movie  in full screen to  my destok
[01:17] <kuma> *help
[01:17] <dezinezan> Westell  DSL2 + Router
[01:17] <MonkeyINAbaG> twisties) nope, but i have a beryl box here, want me to test it
[01:17] <dezinezan> oh model..
[01:17] <AzMoo> dezinezan, ok, there's the problem.
[01:17] <dezinezan> -_-
[01:17] <AzMoo> dezinezan, you've got 2 routers on the same network.
[01:17] <dezinezan> ok
[01:17] <twisties> MonkeyINAbaG: I've installed the dock and it seems to work fine except the only Icon that displays is DC++.
[01:17] <dezinezan> can i make it so its just the new one working so its 1 router?
[01:18] <kuma> how can i mount a device with all the permisions?
[01:18] <MonkeyINAbaG> well, thats not fine :)
[01:18] <soundray> MonkeyINAbaG: does the same thing happen when you boot in recovery mode?
[01:18] <MonkeyINAbaG> soundray)
[01:18] <AzMoo> dezinezan, that's what you want to do.
[01:18] <MonkeyINAbaG> yes
[01:18] <dezinezan> where did the other guy go?
[01:18] <twisties> rofl. no i guess its not "fine"
[01:18] <Jowi> twisties, if i remember correctly you set up the icon paths in the source code and recompile
[01:18] <dezinezan> oh ok
[01:18] <dezinezan> thats what i WANTED TO DO
[01:18] <dezinezan> but when i went through the guide it SAID to do it like THIS
[01:18] <MonkeyINAbaG> soundray) i changed the uuid stuff in fstab and menu.lst back to the good ol /dev nodes
[01:19] <AmaroqWolf> I'm gonna go to sleep. If you need him to modify router settings AzMoo, here's a list I found. http://www.phenoelit.de/dpl/dpl.html
[01:19] <AzMoo> dezinezan, whatever guide you're using is wrong.
[01:19] <dezinezan> WHAT THE FREAK
[01:19] <frogzoo> MonkeyINAbaG: sudo update-grub won't be happy
[01:19] <dezinezan> it came with the new router
[01:19] <dezinezan> !
[01:19] <dezinezan> -_
[01:19] <MonkeyINAbaG> soundray) i just see 'starting up' on the screen for a split second, then it reboots without warning
[01:20] <soundray> MonkeyINAbaG: oh, so it reboots quite early in the process
[01:20] <MonkeyINAbaG> yes
[01:20] <dezinezan> i know how these bots work, if i said any curse words, it would ban me, then wheres my help..?
[01:20] <dezinezan> ok 1 problem..
[01:20] <MonkeyINAbaG> doesnt even load the kernel i suspect
[01:20] <MonkeyINAbaG> no errors :)
[01:20] <DexterF> is midnight commander utf-8 capable?
[01:20] <lucio> I compiled a 2.6.20 kernel on a ubuntu dapper and I got this error at boot: udevplug make-queue unable to create /dev/.udev/queue :-(
[01:21] <soundray> MonkeyINAbaG: can you boot that machine from a CD?
[01:21] <dezinezan> the USB that is on the OLD dsl+router thing is got 1 end like a firewire, and the other USB, im not sure i could use that cord on the new router as it has NO firewire
[01:21] <MonkeyINAbaG> yes
[01:21] <IdleOne> dezinezan: the bot wouldnt ban you but chances are you would be warned about your language i.e !language or !ohmy and then if you did it again you would see !ops ( /msg ubotu ops ) then you would be banned :)
[01:21] <frogzoo> lucio: dunno if you'll get 2.6.20 to work with dapper
[01:21] <dezinezan> if you have msn or something.. i can take pics of what i DO have and how its up, and show you
[01:21] <AmaroqWolf> dezinezan, is your USB and your ethernet connected at the same time?
[01:21] <dezinezan> is it NOT supposed to be...? it never told me NOT to?
[01:22] <MonkeyINAbaG> wtf is a ?
[01:22] <AmaroqWolf> It's only supposed to be one. The ethernet is recommended.
[01:22] <dezinezan> i feel so stupid.. i was just following what it told me to do
[01:22] <frogzoo> MonkeyINAbaG: it's a battle squid
[01:22] <AmaroqWolf> The USB is only for computers that don't have ethernet.
[01:22] <dezinezan> *sigh
[01:22] <IdleOne> MonkeyINAbaG: looks like the Ebola Virus hehe
[01:22] <soundray> MonkeyINAbaG: perhaps you can chroot your root partition from the live CD and reinstall the kernel
[01:22] <dezinezan> let me see if i can hook it up
[01:22] <dezinezan> do you have msn?
[01:23] <AzMoo> dezinezan, wait. If you start playing with the modem now it'll disconnect you.
[01:23] <AmaroqWolf> I'm using a linux messenger
[01:23] <dezinezan> yea i know that
[01:23] <MonkeyINAbaG> soundray) i can def chroot from the boot or install cd, you think reinstalling the kernel will work?
[01:23] <dezinezan> i wasnt going to RIGHT NOW
[01:23] <dezinezan> i wanted to make a plan or something
[01:23] <AzMoo> ok, good :)
[01:23] <dezinezan> like if you have msn
[01:23] <MonkeyINAbaG> soundray) its something i havent tried
[01:23] <cbx33> hey guys
[01:23] <dezinezan> i can contact you back easyly without having to open browzer
[01:23] <MonkeyINAbaG> i will let you know if it works :)
[01:23] <AmaroqWolf> oh okay
[01:23] <AzMoo> dezinezan, I've pm'd you.
[01:23] <cbx33> I have an lvm partition that I'm trying to add the fstab
[01:23] <dezinezan> im not sure how to get to THIS with mIRC
[01:23] <cbx33> it works but it's only read only
[01:23] <soundray> MonkeyINAbaG: I'm not sure if it will, but I think it's worth a try
[01:23] <cbx33> how do i get it writeable?
[01:24] <cbx33> is the line i have
[01:24] <lucio> frogzoo: ... you mean that is a coimmon problem in ubuntu dapper?
[01:24] <cbx33>  /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 /old_drive               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
[01:24] <cbx33> is the line i have
[01:25] <frogzoo> lucio: udev is going through major rework between versions atm, & tracks new kernels, so I'm not that surprised it hasn't worked
[01:25] <Heroin> how do i ban an IP from my server, like 100% so he cant even fucking attempt to login ;X
[01:25] <IdleOne> !ohmy
[01:25] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[01:25] <perplexity> use iptables and drop all traffic from that IP on the floor
[01:26] <Heroin> perplexity how do i do that?
[01:26] <MonkeyINAbaG> soundray) :) anything else you can think of doing before i reboot?
[01:26] <frogzoo> Heroin: you can install fscking xhosts
[01:26] <Heroin> freaking hack monkeys
[01:26] <user___> hey i tried rebooting my pc with the ubuntu cd in the drive, but it wont start ubuntu, instead windows loads?, how do i get ubuntu to run at reboot?
[01:26] <Heroin> frogzoo whats xhosts?
[01:26] <frogzoo> Heroin: best soln for you might be iptables
[01:26] <IdleOne> user___: set your bios to boot cdrom first
[01:26] <soundray> user___: you need to change the boot sequence in the BIOS setup
[01:27] <Heroin> frogzoo yah so how do i enter <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS> as banned?
[01:27] <perplexity> Heroin: iptables -A INPUT -s (ip address here) -p tcp -j DROP
[01:27] <frogzoo> Heroin: sudo iptables -A INPUT  -s a.b.cd -j DROP
[01:27] <perplexity> oh yeah, forgot you can leave the proto out
[01:27] <user___> can i only change the bios setup when i reboot? or can i do it in windows?
[01:27] <Heroin> 2 difrent entries
[01:28] <Heroin> frogzoo is corret?
[01:28] <perplexity> yup, 2 different entries
[01:28] <IdleOne> user___: when rebooting it tells you to probably hit esc to enter setup
[01:28] <user___> okie, brb
[01:28] <perplexity> Heroin: frogzoo is correct.. better than mine
[01:28] <Heroin> perplexity which one would more effecient?
[01:28] <Heroin> perplexity thanks mate
[01:28] <Heroin> frogzoo thanks aswell
[01:28] <frogzoo> Heroin: both will work - but you need to tinker to make those rules start up after a reboot - best bet in 2nd thoughts might be install firestarter
[01:29] <nox-Hand_> Hey'
[01:29] <perplexity> Heroin: either or.. you won't notice a difference
[01:29] <nox-Hand_> Straight after installing Ubuntu on a Dell M65, my friends PC would not play no music/go on wireless internet in Windows XP. Is there an explaination? o_o
[01:29] <PhilippeDR> damn, that's a lot of users :)
[01:29] <A[D] minS> !voice chat
[01:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about voice chat - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:30] <IdleOne> !sound | nox-Hand_
[01:30] <ubotu> nox-Hand_: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[01:30] <nox-Hand_> IdleOne: No, not in Ubuntu, in XP o_O
[01:30] <PhilippeDR> ok, i have a problem: had a breezy install, updated to dapper and then to edgy (2 days ago). The upgrade didn't install a new kernel, i did (from the repo), but now my xserver keeps on crashing
[01:30] <frogzoo> nox-Hand_: as linux doesn't touch anything in firmware, that's a pretty long stretch that linux broke anything - turn the power off at the wall for 30secs & see
[01:30] <nox-Hand_> IdleOne: I am wondering whether Ubuntu install did it. After installing Ubuntu it died in XP
[01:30] <PhilippeDR> doesn't crash with the old kernel though
[01:30] <IdleOne> nox-Hand_: try ##windows for help with XP sorry I dont use it
[01:31] <nox-Hand_> frogzoo: laptop though, but yeah
[01:31] <IdleOne> nox-Hand_: I would be surprised if ubuntu had anything to do with it
[01:32] <DYnamo_> what if we do something like this: DNS with short TTLs, using status info for the servers to pick the IP to return to the dns query
[01:32] <nox-Hand_> IdleOne: Same here. Also, I assured him it was safe :P This is his school PC, so he is in trouble now for not having it for school ^^
[01:32] <IdleOne> nox-Hand_: he installed ubuntu on a pc that he doesnt own?
[01:33] <frogzoo> IdleOne: people will play...
[01:33] <CheshireViking> nox-Hand: was the installation on a pre-existing partition, or did the Ubuntu installer repartition the drive?
[01:33] <IdleOne> frogzoo: yeah ... but I dont play with other ppl's money :/
[01:33] <nox-Hand_> IdleOne: He owns it, yeah. As such. He has bought it and will completely own it in two years. If he drops out of school, he must return it.
[01:34] <nox-Hand_> CheshireViking: We partitioned before. Layout has a FAT drive for DellUtilities, an NTFS for WIndows, 1gb swap and 7gb EXT3 for Ubuntu
[01:35] <IdleOne> nox-Hand_: well if the only problem is no sound it really isnt a big deal but again I seriously doubt ubuntu had anything to do with it and as for the wireless connection ubuntu probably didnt affect that either. unfortunate coincidence I would say. ##windows can probably help you
[01:36] <nox-Hand_> IdleOne: Right, I am sure Ubunt uis innocent. I believe in  Linux being God ;) Asking in ##windows :)
[01:36] <chplanet> hi
[01:36] <frogzoo> nox-Hand_: does this laptop use an external cd drive?
[01:36] <LifeguardBob> Hi fellows, completely new to ubuntu or linux for that matter, just finished installing the OS and was wondering if anyone knows of a good begginer's site
[01:37] <chplanet> I would like to know if automatix is safe?
[01:37] <IdleOne> LifeguardBob: wiki,ubuntu.com
[01:37] <frogzoo> chplanet: ask in #automatix...
[01:37] <IdleOne> chplanet: NO IT ISNT
[01:37] <CheshireViking> nox-Hand: when i repartitioned a drive similar to the allocation you've mentioned, windows worked ok, but one application had to be reinstalled because the partitioning broke something, maybe some of the drivers have gotten corrupted during the partitioning - I had a problem even though the drive had been fully defrag'd and free space consolidated
[01:37] <LifeguardBob> thanks IdleOne
[01:38] <nox-Hand_> CheshireViking: Right, thanks :()

[01:38] <Igor_V2> hey....is possible to i upgrade my ubuntu to the new version int the apt??
[01:38] <IdleOne> !upgrade
[01:38] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[01:38] <frogzoo> IdleOne: I don't get the hostility to automatix hate, they're just another bunch of people doing foss, but let them support it if it breaks sure
[01:39] <Daverocks> hey, how do i get gdm to start when i connect to my ubuntu box via vnc?
[01:39] <Daverocks> at the moment i'm just getting an X root screen
[01:39] <chplanet> IdleOne: why is it not safe & how?
[01:40] <IdleOne> frogzoo: I have nothing against it . I have used it myself 1 time it worked fine and another time it broke my install and I had to do a full clean install. reason whyI say it isnt safe is because I would hate to see a newbie give up on Ubuntu just because some third party app broke theyre system
[01:40] <IdleOne> !automatix | chplanet
[01:40] <ubotu> chplanet: automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe

[01:52] <hackjack82> hi, i'm tring to monitor a eth interface with bwm-ng
[01:52] <hackjack82> but even if I set the refresh interval to 10 msec
[01:52] <hackjack82> I get only one real result each second followed by many 0 kb/sec results!
[01:53] <hackjack82> why? it seems to monitor only once a second!
[01:56] <idefix> why is it that on some webpages you see a flash of a site and then you're relinked and you cannot see the old site? what is that for? Is it a bug?
[01:56] <rage_> IdleOne: Yes you can find lots of pam packages. pam_abl is not included.
[01:57] <frogzoo> hackjack82: you might be able to get a better res'n through /proc
[01:59] <hackjack82> frogzoo: also bwm-ng can use /proc, but I still have the same problem
[02:00] <new> hey there, just installed ubuntu

[02:06] <johan_> hi
[02:07] <RonnieUK> I jst installed ubuntu and it wont accept my username and password, any ideas what I can do?
[02:07] <johan_> try booting in recovery mode
[02:07] <johan_> and then change password or add users
[02:07] <RonnieUK> how do I do that?
[02:08] <yommb> in what config file do I set my display manager ?  ( xdm , kdm ,gdm...)
[02:09] <johan_> RonnieUK, right before ubuntu starts to boot, you can hit ESC to bring up a boot menu
[02:10] <RonnieUK> ah ok, Ill try that thanks
[02:11] <bauer77> hey when I just booted Ubuntu it says it hasnt checked hda2 to for  a certain amount of days (I am assuming it was checking the file system). Any ideas what would bring that on? maybe if I shut down wrong?

[02:12] <rage_> bauer77: It is an option
[02:12] <rage_> bauer77: default is check after 30 days.
[02:12] <bauer77> thanks rage
[02:12] <mcphail> bauer77: switch it off. it isn't needed
[02:12] <rage_> bauer77: nothing is wrong, just leave it to it.
[02:13] <bauer77> I thought so just wanted to make sure
[02:13] <jussi01> is there a command i have to run?
[02:13] <rage_> Better that windows that doesn't check untill something goes wrong and then finds that it has been messing up for years. :)
[02:13] <bauer77> I hear you there
[02:14] <meteor> ubuntu
[02:14] <jussi01> iwconfig only gives me lo, irda0 and sit0
[02:14] <mcphail> the check is a hangover from ext2. it isn't needed
[02:14] <bauer77> I was running a vista cd right before i happened on another another boot on this computer so I was curious if had done something since I hadnt seen it before

[02:16] <seravitae> but http i get "The connection was reset" constantly
[02:16] <seravitae> like i have to visit a page 10 times to actually get one that works. any ideas wtf is going on
[02:17] <bauer77> did you go into your wireless connection and see if its listed there?
[02:17] <jussi01> yeah...
[02:17] <frogzoo> hackjack82: what are you like with kernel internals? you help to enable CONFIG_FAST_TIMER - dunno
[02:17] <felixhummel_> is there an enhanced version of mc (midnight commander) or do I have to hack the source if I want some shortcuts?

[02:20] <jussi01> I thought about trying it with ndiswrapper, but the windows driver i found is a installing exe... with a whole program etc
[02:22] <seravitae> frogzoo: my net isn't slow
[02:22] <seravitae> i get 'connection was reset' instantly
[02:22] <seravitae> i just checked and restarted local dns caching, it's still doing it.

[02:23] <frogzoo> seravitae: wireshark
[02:23] <seravitae> installing
[02:26] <infornography> I have an intel centrino dual core processor. Will ubuntu detect and use both cores out of the box?
[02:26] <seravitae> infornography: yes but you must force the -generic kernel
[02:26] <seravitae> the -386 standard kernel will not
[02:26] <infornography> oh ok
[02:27] <seravitae> frogzoo: wireshark installed
[02:27] <infornography> Do I need the alternate install CD to do that?
[02:27] <seravitae> wireshark doesnt see any of my interfaces
[02:27] <seravitae> ahh, had to be in root.
[02:27] <frogzoo> seravitae: yep
[02:28] <seravitae> okay so what should i do
[02:28] <seravitae> capture eth0
[02:29] <DYnamo_> Here is what we are thinking of, We haev a DNS Server, in New York Location. We have 2 content servers, one in California and one in Germany. When a request comes in to NewYork, the DNS server looks at it (I guess using goip), is the requester closer to Cali or Germany? Ok he is in Japan, ok send him to Germany server. We need something like that.

[02:34] <oxygen> help me pls
[02:34] <frogzoo> seravitae: but ftp etc are full speed?
[02:34] <IdleOne> oxygen: with?
[02:34] <oxygen> how can I make it show how much time is left when doing a cp
[02:35] <frogzoo> seravitae: incorrect checksums are usually because you have got your ethernet duplex setting wrong
[02:35] <kristofer> I found this howto.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixCompleteVirtualMailSystemHowto, but it's not complete. any ideas where I could find something similar, but finished?
[02:35] <seravitae> frogzoo: okay, i think mines on auto detect
[02:35] <IdleOne> oxygen: try cp -v ( verbose )
[02:35] <seravitae> i have a 100mbps switch
[02:36] <seravitae> everything's autosensing.
[02:36] <IdleOne> not sure if that will give you time remaining though
[02:36] <oxygen> IdleOne: i try it ..
[02:36] <seravitae> frogzoo: today i was getting max speed off torrents, browsing the net fine
[02:36] <seravitae> later today, a simply http request errors immediately
[02:36] <seravitae> and if i hit refresh about 50 times, eventually one gets thru, the rest just die straigth away
[02:37] <seravitae> Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.google.com.au.
[02:37] <seravitae> ^^ it's that bad.

[02:39] <Tomib> hello
[02:39] <Rafa_Viva_Rev_> my questions is... it is working only one cpu? if not... what can i do to shows me the twos cpus?
[02:39] <frogzoo> Rafa_Viva_Rev_: you running dapper?
[02:40] <ctkroeker> Rafa_Viva_Rev_: a dual core is actually 1 cpu, as I understand it, it won't show up as 2. I thinkl
[02:40] <sjoerd> ctkroeker: it's 2 cpu's on one chip
[02:40] <Rafa_Viva_Rev_> but in the past i have ubuntu dapper 64 bits and it shows me the monitor of two cpus
[02:41] <ctkroeker> Rafa_Viva_Rev_:  especially since your running 32-bit, you probably won't be able too utilize all that power and features
[02:41] <frogzoo> Rafa_Viva_Rev_: if you're running dapper, install the 686 kernel image
[02:41] <Rafa_Viva_Rev_> but exist a kernel k7 with smp
[02:41] <Rafa_Viva_Rev_> edgy
[02:41] <Rafa_Viva_Rev_> 686?
[02:41] <Rafa_Viva_Rev_> thanks.. i will try
[02:41] <frogzoo> Rafa_Viva_Rev_: if you're running edgy, both cores are running
[02:41] <oxygen> it s not work
[02:41] <Tomib> is it possible to play bf 2142 with linux??
[02:41] <Rafa_Viva_Rev_> and k7 with smp dont?
[02:42] <Rafa_Viva_Rev_> oks.. thanx
[02:42] <oxygen> IdleOne: cp -v does not show time
[02:43] <IdleOne> oxygen: sorry I dont know how to show the time remaining
[02:43] <oxygen> ok
[02:43] <seravitae> hm
[02:44] <seravitae> is 64 bit worth it
[02:44] <Rafa_Viva_Rev_> another question... i installed beryl and xgl.. but beryl only runs with Gnome Session.. some tip?
[02:45] <frogzoo> seravitae: on desktop, no - for servers, sure
[02:47] <seravitae> mm
[02:47] <seravitae> i run a pretty beasty desktop though
[02:48] <Lunar_Lamp> seravitae, I installed 64 desktop about 9months ago (so development will have happened), and it was frustrating the number of things I had to chroot into a 32bit environment.
[02:48] <Lunar_Lamp> The hassle wasn't worth it in the end.
[02:48] <seravitae> cool, i wont touch it then
[02:48] <frogzoo> seravitae: beasty desktops probly want/need flash & vmware, so no dice
[02:48] <Lunar_Lamp> Ofc, there may well be more 64-bit packages around now.
[02:48] <ctkroeker> seravitae: I had the 64-bit version for a while and it's a pain to setup codecs, flash, dvd viewing, skype, etc.
[02:48] <seravitae> ah yeah.
[02:48] <seravitae> im happy with my setup right now.
[02:48] <seravitae> dont really feel like messing with it unless the gain is huge.
[02:49] <yommb> ctkroeker : agreed : everything ( well , a lot .. ) is a pain to install on 64bit

[02:58] <soundray> dm: does the printbox have an IP?
[02:58] <dm> good question i cant find one
[02:59] <soundray> dm: does your network have a DHCP server?
[02:59] <dm> aye
[02:59] <dm> anyway to find it via terminal?
[02:59] <dajoru> dm: what the printer configuration page say?
[02:59] <soundray> dm: go to your DHCP server and check its status pages to see whether it has assigned an IP to your printbox
[03:00] <hitammanis> guess not, thnaks
[03:00] <dm> soundray ok maybe i was mistaken , no DHCP server, just a router and automatic DHCP
[03:00] <soundray> hitammanis: this is a support channel. If you have a support question, ask.
[03:01] <soundray> dm: the router probably runs the DHCP server. Check its status pages
[03:01] <pisi> Hi. If running 6.10 is there an easy way to get a newer kernel than 2.6.17 ?
[03:01] <soundray> pisi: yes, you can compile one, but it's not recommended. Why do you want a newer kernel?
[03:01] <HymnToLife> pisi, compile it yourself, it's the only way
[03:02] <dm> soundray aye im at the status page.
[03:02] <pisi> so no aptgettable kernel ?
[03:02] <HymnToLife> no
[03:02] <HymnToLife> unless you upgrade to feisty, which is not stable yet
[03:02] <soundray> dm: can you tell whether it has assigned an IP to your printbox?
[03:02] <Pici> pisi: not unless you want to upgrade to unstable feisty
[03:02] <medfly> i need to have glib to compile something, what do i need to install from the package system?
[03:02] <pisi> I'm debugging a strange problem that might come from the kernel and i hoped there is a lazy way.
[03:02] <HymnToLife> !find glib
[03:02] <ubotu> Found: glibc-doc-reference, libarts1-mpeglib, libdbus-glib-1-2, libdbus-glib-1-dev, libglib-perl (and 35 others)
[03:03] <dm> soundray there are no labels, i have 6 diff IPs, ( 5 computers )
[03:03] <HymnToLife> medfly, install libglib-dev, or something like that
[03:03] <medfly> ok, thanks
[03:04] <donovan-> quick question ya'll, can anyone think of any reason why using a router to connect to a cable modem and then connecting the comp to the router would make the comp's connection uber-slow?
[03:04] <donovan-> it's a wireless router
[03:04] <soundray> dm: you could load all the IPs in firefox in turn. Maybe the printbox will tell you that it is the printbox that way.
[03:04] <Pici> medfly: its libglib1.2-dev or libglib2.0-dev depending on what version you need
[03:04] <hitammanis> soundary: I'm using windows and qemu to boot ubuntu from a usb pen drive, but during the boot up process (Mounting root file system) it stop and give an error message something like "/bin/sh: could not load tty". What am I doing wrong?
[03:05] <dajoru> dm: I you see nothing on the config page you better read the manual of your printer
[03:05] <dajoru> dm: and activate the god interface
[03:05] <medfly> thanks! :-) yeah, i think i needed 2.0
[03:05] <dajoru> *good
[03:05] <dm> dajoru god interface?
[03:06] <catalina> hola todos
[03:06] <dm> dajoru good interface ? lol
[03:07] <dajoru> dm: what about your printer?
[03:07] <dm> what do you mean
[03:07] <soundray> hitammanis: does ubuntu load via grub within your virtual machine?
[03:08] <hitammanis> soundray: yes
[03:09] <hitammanis> soundray: here is my syntax  for qemu: qemu -L . -hda //./PhysicalDrive1
[03:10] <soundray> hitammanis: you could edit the grub kernel line (hit 'e' when you get to the boot menu) and remove 'quiet splash'. This should tell you more about what's going on. Also, make sure there is a 'root=' kernel option that points to whatever your vm provides as the root partition.
[03:11] <hitammanis> soundray: here is my errr msg: /bin/sh: can't access tty : job control off
[03:12] <hitammanis> soundray: here is my grub command:  /casper/vmlinuz boot=casper persistent ramdisk_size=1048576 root=/dev/ram rw splash--
[03:12] <soundray> hitammanis: I'm not sure that root=/dev/ram is right. -- Have you seen this page: http://homepage.sunrise.ch/mysunrise/ekeller00/EricKellerUbuntuPage.html
[03:13] <Lunar_Lamp> Aren't you missing the kernel option?
[03:14] <Lunar_Lamp> Shouldn't it be "kernel=/casper/vmlinuz"?
[03:14] <Lunar_Lamp> (I don't know much about grub and this is just from memory - so feel free to ignore me)
[03:14] <swiitch> guys ive been using cat to append/copy mulitiple files i was wondering what the sytax is for cp. like in xp copy file+file newfile
[03:15] <hitammanis> this is how is looks:  kernel		/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper persistent ramdisk_size=1048576 root=/dev/ram rw splash--
[03:15] <Lunar_Lamp> swiitch, cp /File/i/want/to/copy /place/i/want/to/copy/it/to
[03:15] <LjL> swiitch: uhm, i'm not sure there *is* such syntax... that's why we have cat in the first place
[03:15] <soundray> swiitch: stick with cat for concatenating multiple files
[03:15] <quaal> how do i make a shortcut to a program, like azureus for example is in /home/username/.azureus and i have to run ./azureus from terminal to open it
[03:15] <quaal> is it just like ./home/username/.azureus/azureus ?
[03:15] <swiitch> ok somone asked me why i just didnt use cp. i thought i was missing something
[03:15] <hitammanis> is that line in my menu.lst wrong?
[03:15] <swiitch> thx
[03:16] <Kian> k
[03:16] <Jowi> swiitch, cp does not have a function like that
[03:17] <Lunar_Lamp> hitammanis, you might be better asking in #qemu
[03:17] <hitammanis> Lunar_Lamp: Tried yesterday, try told me to come here.
[03:17] <Lunar_Lamp> Lol, ok.

[03:19] <Lunar_Lamp> That's all I can think of to help :-/
[03:19] <Lunar_Lamp> Sorry.
[03:19] <soundray> hitammanis: did you get my link?
[03:19] <bulmer> quaal: append the current dir "." on the environment variable PATH
[03:20] <soundray> dm: how are you getting on?
[03:20] <hitammanis> soundray:Yes,  See problems is that I'm strap for space so I can't create an image or iso file
[03:20] <soundray> bulmer: that's a security risk
[03:20] <Spaghetti_Knife> Hi, I have a question. I xkilled my firefox, and now it won't open. A window opens that says that it's already running but not responding. How do I kill the firefox job for real?
[03:20] <bulmer> soundray: what are you talking about? if you are not root..you follow?
[03:21] <Pici> Spaghetti_Knife: try killall firefox in the terminal
[03:21] <bulmer> soundray: can you elaborate on this risk you speak of? we'd like to learn
[03:21] <Spaghetti_Knife> Pici: "firefox: no process killed"
[03:21] <Jowi> swiitch, you can use "cat file1 file2 > newfile"
[03:22] <soundray> bulmer: is this really necessary? This risk is extremely well known.
[03:22] <hitammanis> soundray:That why I'm trying to boot from my usb pen drive that already has ubuntu install on it inside of windows
[03:22] <Pici> Spaghetti_Knife: try ps aux | grep firefox and see if its known by another name, like mozilla-firefox or similar
[03:22] <bulmer> soundray: yes it is necessary, elaborate on your understanding of the so called risk please
[03:22] <soundray> bulmer: I don't like your tone. If you want something from me, you will have to ask nicely.
[03:23] <Lunar_Lamp> soundray, could you tell me please then? I don't know of the security implications.
[03:23] <bulmer> soundray  im merely disputing your so-called risk..you are not telling the whole story
[03:24] <esaym> where do I go for info on how to make ubuntu packages
[03:24] <Spaghetti_Knife> Pici: Thank you very much. It was called "firefox-bin."
[03:24] <soundray> Lunar_Lamp: $PWD in the path can be used by an attacker to trick you into running an executable you didn't intend to run.
[03:24] <Gurpartap> is the an application to manage to-do/tasks, etc? :)
[03:24] <Pici> Spaghetti_Knife: Sure thing
[03:24] <Gurpartap> s/the/there
[03:24] <devilsadvocate> esaym,  #ubuntu-motu
[03:24] <devilsadvocate> i believe
[03:24] <Gurpartap> free one generally :)
[03:24] <soundray> Lunar_Lamp: they could plant a malicious program by the name of 'ls' in /tmp for example.
[03:25] <Lunar_Lamp> SoundGuy, that makes obvious sense.
[03:25] <esaym> well I was looking for a how to but I will ask there
[03:25] <Lunar_Lamp> er, soundray even.
[03:25] <esaym> thanks
[03:25] <Gurpartap> devilsadvocate: hey, what's going on?
[03:25] <soundray> Lunar_Lamp: if you happen to do a 'cd /tmp ; ls' you will run a program that you didn't intend to.
[03:25] <bulmer> soundtay: so what..if you are not root, you expect the program to execute with higher privilege?
[03:25] <Lunar_Lamp> SoundGuy, I mis-interpreted where they said to put "." in $PATH
[03:26] <Lunar_Lamp> bulmer, no, but what if the program was "rm -rf ~"
[03:26] <devilsadvocate> hello Gurpartap . midsems just got over :D
[03:26] <Lunar_Lamp> It would be very frustrating
[03:26] <krampo> Hello, does anyone knows where to get planet.ubuntu.com template ?
[03:26] <soundray> bulmer: doing damage to a system doesn't always require root rights.
[03:26] <bulmer> lol..you expect to run to execute a program in a directory you are not normally even able to get into?
[03:27] <saispo> anyone have a good docs about metapackage with dh_make ?
[03:27] <soundray> bulmer: test this: 'echo 'rm -rf $HOME' >/tmp/ls ; cd /tmp ; ls' (I mean, don't)
[03:27] <Gurpartap> devilsadvocate: aha, great ;-)

[04:04] <scratchme> Or also workable, how do you reset the kernel compile back to freshly downloaded source?
[04:05] <cappiz> mount -t ntfs -o uid=1000,gid=1000
[04:05] <m4ytt> do i jus type that name into the box on the disk screen
[04:05] <cappiz> freezey. access the ftp?
[04:05] <cappiz> m4ytt, ah, i use commands to mount disk/partitions
[04:05] <m4ytt> cappiz do i type that in the terminal box
[04:05] <cappiz> from the terminal.
[04:06] <bluefox83> i'm having issues downloading security updates in edgy O.o
[04:06] <cappiz> m4ytt, yeah. Do you have ntfs write support installed?
[04:06] <hitammanis> If my machine can't boot from a usb drive is there a way to boot from a cd and then continue to boot from the usb drive?
[04:06] <m4ytt> dont know what that is cappiz
[04:06] <bluefox83> hitammanis, probably, but it's probably rather complicated...
[04:07] <cappiz> m4ytt, usualy you can only read from the ntfs disk. not write to it. Like creating new files/folders.
[04:07] <Slart> bluefox83, hitammanis: that answer works for many thing where linux is involved ;)
[04:07] <hitammanis> :)
[04:07] <Spaghetti_Knife> Hi. Where is the wifi-radar help channel? I checked #wifi-radar and #wifiradar, and they're both empty.
[04:08] <bluefox83> Slart, yes, but some things are more complicated than others
[04:08] <knoppix> I am having trouble booting ubuntu from a live cd.  It hangs up at the part I would think it is detecting my display

[04:08] <cappiz> hitammanis, did you try to install ubuntu on a usb-drive?
[04:08] <m4ytt> cappiz do i need to do that on my ubuntu hard disk or on the xp os
[04:08] <cappiz> in you ubuntu system

[04:09] <farski> how do I know if something (like dhcp3-sever) will run on startup?
[04:09] <syzygyBSD> are there any hints for debugging the ubuntu disk during bootup
[04:09] <syzygyBSD> bluefox83: thanks, I will double check those
[04:09] <Spaghetti_Knife> PriceChild: Okay. My problem is that when I use wifi-radar, it takes, like, 5 tries to find the IP address. When I'm using Windows and the company-distributed driver, it doesn't have this problem.
[04:09] <Spaghetti_Knife> PriceChild: How do I fix this problem?
[04:09] <cappiz> farski, see if its in the /etc/init.d/ dir and look for a file in /etc/defaults/
[04:09] <PriceChild> Spaghetti_Knife, I personally don't know much about it... I've always found gnome-network-manager to work brilliantly
[04:10] <Spaghetti_Knife> PriceChild: Hmmm.... i'll try that.
[04:10] <bluefox83> syzygyBSD, during bootup it has an option to check the disk for damage, select that
[04:10] <cappiz> hitammanis, did you work it out?
[04:11] <PriceChild> Spaghetti_Knife, you'll have to log out and in to get it to appear in the notificatino area

[04:14] <zoli2k> but dist-upgrade does not suggest the replacement of sysvinit
[04:14] <frogzoo> lawli56: you'd do better with 6.10 I'd suggest
[04:14] <unop> zoli2k,  upstart is standard on feisty
[04:14] <syzygyBSD> is there anyway to put ubuntu into text mode for bootup, so I see more than just the loading screen?
[04:14] <Spaghetti_Knife> PriceChild: How do I open network-manager-gnome now?
[04:14] <bluefox83> syzygyBSD, my girlfriend's crappy computer was not letting her use her nvidia card because the bios was not giving an option to ignore the onboard video card
[04:14] <cappiz> farski the one you got present, im not at my linux syste,
[04:14] <cappiz> system*
[04:14] <hitammanis> cappiz: have you tried that before?
[04:14] <zoli2k> unop, I upgraded to feisty, but upstart was not default.
[04:14] <PriceChild> Spaghetti_Knife, either run nm-applet in a terminal or log out and in
[04:14] <cappiz> ok hitammanis
[04:14] <farski> cappiz: k thanks, looks like it's all set
[04:14] <unop> syzygyBSD,  edit grub's menu.lst and remove the splash keyword from the kernel entry you boot into
[04:15] <cappiz> farski, good :)
[04:15] <bluefox83> syzygyBSD, and as a result it kept stalling where it was detecting devices on the installer
[04:15] <lawli56> frogzoo: i thought 6.06 was the supported distro?
[04:15] <frogzoo> syzygyBSD: remove the "quiet" flag from kopt in /boot/grub/menu.lst & then 'sudo update-grub'
[04:15] <hitammanis> cappiz: huh, I don't get your answer
[04:15] <frogzoo> lawli56: 6.10 is latest supported - edgy
[04:15] <syzygyBSD> sorry all, I meant when booting from the live cd
[04:15] <unop> zoli2k,  ahh if you upgrade then the upgrade tries to keep what you already had -- so yes, it'll continue using sysvinit instead
[04:15] <lawli56> ok
[04:15] <frogzoo> !edgy | lawli56
[04:15] <ubotwo> lawli56: Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) is the latest version of Ubuntu. Upgrading to Edgy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades - Downloading: http://www.ubuntu.com/download - Release Notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseNotes
[04:15] <Spaghetti_Knife> PriceChild: Okay, I tried typing "nm-applet" in my command line, and it froze my terminal. I'll try logging out and in.
[04:16] <Spaghetti_Knife> PriceChild: Do you mean it'll show up in my start menu when I log back in?
[04:16] <cappiz> hitammanis, ok. i though you couldt boot the device from your computer. But you said you manage to do that now.
[04:16] <bluefox83> syzygyBSD, yeah, i was talking about that ;)
[04:16] <Skew-> what is the difference between root terminal and terminal?
[04:16] <Slasher> anyone here who can walk me through setting up ndiswrapper on ubuntu 6.06 please?
[04:16] <frogzoo> lawli56: how well power mgt is supported depends on hardware
[04:16] <PriceChild> Spaghetti_Knife, nope... top right where icons like gaim appear when you run them
[04:16] <syzygyBSD> bluefox83: :) ok, I am checking everything mentioned so far
[04:16] <Slasher> tried a guide i found online yesterday and messed everything up lol
[04:16] <bluefox83> Skew-, root terminal uses root access by default, regular terminal uses regular user permissions..
[04:16] <unop> Skew-,  one logs you in as root, another doesnt :)

[04:16] <ubotwo> Slasher: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:17] <Slasher> ooo
[04:17] <Slasher> thanks
[04:17] <GoopyMonkey> can someone help me withrecuding partition side?
[04:17] <bluefox83> syzygyBSD, would the machine in question be a compaq by any chance?
[04:17] <Skew-> aahh
[04:17] <zoli2k> unop: this is my problem. How can I be sure, that my system upgraded  Hoary -> Dapper -> Edgy -> Feisty contains the packages recommended by the ubuntu default installations.
[04:17] <GoopyMonkey> * with reducing
[04:17] <Slasher> mines a compaq :@
[04:17] <Pres-Gas> Hey all, I would like to use wyrd, but it is not showing up like my other ncurses apps (centericq, pine).  How should I start troubleshooting this?  The "windows" show up as strange characters instead of ascii lines.
[04:17] <Spaghetti_Knife> PriceChild: Okay, I'll log out and back in. Thanks. :D
[04:17] <frogzoo> GoopyMonkey: run gparted from a live disk
[04:17] <hitammanis> cappiz: ok, have you tried that before, booting ubuntu in qemu from a usb drive?
[04:18] <frogzoo> GoopyMonkey: that works for all partitions but ntfs
[04:18] <GoopyMonkey> hold on, I'll check my partition type
[04:18] <bulmer> Pres-Gas: can you try launching it from a console..you know ctrl-alt+f1 and see if it you can launch it from there?
[04:18] <Pres-Gas> bulmer, I am ssh-ed into it now...no physical access at this time
[04:19] <unop> zoli2k,  errm, afaik there are no recommended defaults -- and the only major change from dapper upwards has been upstart, which you can manually install yourself
[04:19] <Pres-Gas> I am using screen as well from the ssh session.
[04:19] <GoopyMonkey> frogzoo: uh-oh, I have an NTFS drive
[04:19] <bulmer> Pres-Gas: how did you ssh in?  which option you have used?
[04:19] <Spaghetti_Knife> PriceChild: Okay, I logged out and logged back in. Where do I find network-manager-gnome in the GUI?
[04:19] <frogzoo> GoopyMonkey: then it's imperative you backup before proceeding
[04:20] <PriceChild> Spaghetti_Knife, jsut to the left of the clock and the volume thing on the top right panel
[04:20] <crazy_penguin> Hello all!
[04:20] <Pres-Gas> bulmer, I am using cygwin and an xterm from that, bulmer.  I echo $TERM and it says screen.
[04:20] <zoli2k> unop: but for example a festy upgraded from edgy will be different as a fresh installation of feisty.
[04:20] <bluefox83> is there an apt-spy for ubuntu?
[04:20] <GoopyMonkey> frogzoo: my guess is that I need to reformat my hard drive to FAT?
[04:20] <bluefox83> in debian you use apt-spy to create a list of the fastest downloads in your area
[04:20] <Spaghetti_Knife> PriceChild: Okay... now what do I do with it? I'll disconnect with wifi-radar and see what to do.
[04:20] <Spaghetti_Knife> PriceChild: What do I do?
[04:21] <Zdra> hi, I compiled metacity with compositor enabled in feisty. It links on libcm.... but when I start it I see no 3d effects...
[04:21] <PriceChild> Spaghetti_Knife, left click it and the networks availiable should be listed...
[04:21] <Zdra> how do I activate the compositor ?
[04:21] <Zdra> using compiz it works
[04:21] <frogzoo> GoopyMonkey: tbh ntfs is a better file system than fat, only gparted 1.0 is bugged. if you can find a bootable cd with gparted 2.0 use that
[04:21] <Slart> Zdra: I don't think the compositor makes 3d by itself.. something else has to do that.. but that "something else" probably needs the compositor to do that
[04:22] <server3> Hi all
[04:22] <e\ectro_> what is the package name for kerne-source ?
[04:22] <e\ectro_> I need 2.6.17
[04:22] <bluefox83> Zdra, you might want to try beryl, it has excellent eye candy :)
[04:22] <cappiz> never tried qemu hitammanis
[04:22] <cappiz> i only boot it from my usb-thumbdrive
[04:22] <hitammanis> cappiz: kewl, thanks
[04:22] <GoopyMonkey> frogzoo: So I can reduce partition size from a LiveCD as long as it has gparted 2.0?
[04:22] <Zdra> bluefox83: I know, but I want something very basic
[04:23] <unop> zoli2k,  quite naturally, because you will have made significant changes to the system that the upgrade just cannot possibly handle (considering how many people make changes to their systems) .. what you are expecting is that all these changes be undone -- but it's nothing serious tho -- if you want the settings of a fesity fresh-install, all you need to do is backup your home folder, install and import it once done
[04:23] <Zdra> and I want to give a try to metacity
[04:23] <lawli56> frogzoo and ubotwo thanks for the info... ooh i hate how long this takes to download.
[04:23] <Zdra> compiz and beryl are nice for demonstrations but are purely unusable
[04:23] <AzMoo> Beryl is so not unusable.
[04:23] <bluefox83> Zdra, beryl is pretty basic...and if you want you can add scripts
[04:23] <geo-> wtf lol
[04:24] <syzygyLap> during bootup from a live disk, after "starting Kernel Logs" it goes to a screen with a cursor blinking for a couple seconds, then goes to an all black screen
[04:24] <server3> I installed exim4 by package manager, but I can't tune it for work with mysql
[04:24] <Pres-Gas> bulmer, any ideas?
[04:24] <frogzoo> GoopyMonkey: my bad - gparted 0.2 - but ubuntu uses 0.1 so you'll need something else
[04:24] <bulmer> Pres-Gas: that seems okay..i cant think of anything that ssh will not pass through
[04:24] <syzygyLap> none of the escape keys I know of work
[04:24] <calvarez> beryl is totally useful
[04:24] <geo-> Zdra you have a slow system or something?
[04:24] <geo-> like really slow
[04:24] <Zdra> geo-: not at all
[04:24] <Pres-Gas> bulmer, I am guessing term or termcap is my issue, but am not sure of the ideal solution.
[04:24] <bulmer> Pres-Gas: if server uses X, maybe you can try ssh -X  to bring over the X..
[04:24] <AzMoo> Zdra, then why do you find it unusable?
[04:24] <Zdra> but I'm sick with too many effects
[04:24] <calvarez> not the wobbly windows, but the scaled windows are useful when getting stuff done
[04:24] <frogzoo> GoopyMonkey: it sounds clumsy, but you might have better luck with an ubuntu cd, and the latest gparted on usb, that might be possible
[04:25] <bluefox83> Zdra, just turn the ones you don't want, off
[04:25] <Pres-Gas> bulmer, too slow for now.
[04:25] <hitammanis> brb
[04:25] <calvarez> Zdra, I found that scaling (pressing F8) is pretty nice and useful. Other features may not be, but that one is
[04:25] <Zdra> bluefox83: yes but for example it change de desktop switch behavious
[04:25] <Pres-Gas> I would actually love to bring a ton of X stuff over, but the connection is slower than I'd like
[04:25] <syzygyLap> is it possible to upgrade from a debian build to ubuntu without an ubuntu CD?
[04:25] <GoopyMonkey> frogzoo: But what's the difference between a liveCD and a Ubuntu CD?
[04:25] <Spaghetti_Knife> Pricechild: Ummm... is the network-manager-gnome application the two-screens icon?
[04:26] <PriceChild> Spaghetti_Knife, yes
[04:26] <Zdra> I can't have 7 desktops without that stupid slow effects with the cube
[04:26] <Spaghetti_Knife> PriceChild: Because when I click that, no list of networks comes up.
[04:26] <server3> Anywhere in manuals adviced only handmake build it from Makefile and there written how to configure Makefile
[04:26] <AzMoo> Zdra, turn off the cube.
[04:26] <bulmer> Pres-Gas: i think you are right, the termcap may not be set right
[04:26] <frogzoo> GoopyMonkey: some ubuntu cds will run ubuntu when they're booted
[04:26] <bluefox83> Zdra, you can turn it off if ou want..make it do things the way you want
[04:26] <PriceChild> Spaghetti_Knife, right click it and ensure wireless is enabled
[04:26] <unop> syzygyLap,  well, that could leave you with serious problems -- if you are brave enough, it's definitely possible
[04:26] <server3>  I installed exim4 by package manager, but I can't tune it for work with mysql
[04:26] <server3> Help. I installed exim4 by package manager, but I can't tune it for work with mysql
[04:26] <m4ytt> capp
[04:27] <bluefox83> server3, i don't think anyone here knows how to help..sorry
[04:27] <syzygyLap> unop: I would feel comfortable debugging it if I had some tips
[04:27] <Zdra> hm... in the it's not my question, I want to make metacity work, that's all :)
[04:27] <AzMoo> Zdra, metacity doesn't have any effects that a compositor will help with.
[04:27] <GoopyMonkey> frogzoo: So, from what I've gathered, I need to put gparted 0.2 onto a USB flash drive, then boot Ubuntu using a Ubuntu CD, not a liveCD. Right?
[04:27] <bulmer> server3 whats exim4 is supposed to do?
[04:27] <Zdra> AzMoo: I don't want effets, I just need a compositor running
[04:27] <server3> Because it is possible only manually
[04:27] <bluefox83> Zdra, did you compile metacity? it's in the repos you know O.o
[04:27] <unop> syzygyLap, errm, be warned that if you do attempt that and you run into problems -- most people here will be hesitant in helping
[04:27] <m4ytt> cappiz thanks for your help with ntfs read\write just while im here could you tell me how to put your name before my writing
[04:28] <frogzoo> GoopyMonkey: the edgy cd will work as a live cd
[04:28] <Zdra> and compiling metacity with compositor enabled seems to not be enough
[04:28] <syzygyLap> unop: meh I just need some pointers, not expecting anyone here to do it for me
[04:28] <unop> syzygyLap,  and why would you want to "upgrade" from debian to ubuntu -- why not just stay with debian?
[04:28] <cappiz> m4ytt, which IRC client do you use?
[04:28] <m4ytt> xchat
[04:28] <cappiz> should work with the tab
[04:28] <GoopyMonkey> frogzoo: ah, thanks. So gparted .02 on flash drive, boot ubuntu from edgy cd then reduce partition size?
[04:28] <syzygyLap> unop: well, I want to try ubuntu, but the install CD isn't working for me
[04:29] <cappiz> TAB, tabulator
[04:29] <Zdra> bluefox83: yes of courses I compiled it with compositor enabled, and it now link on libcm so I guess it should be ok
[04:29] <bluefox83> Zdra, install metacity from the repos, install beryl..it gives you the option to use beryl or metacity inside the settings manager on your taskbar
[04:29] <cappiz> just type my first letters, and complete it with TAB
[04:29] <GoopyMonkey> frogzoo: oops, 0.2
[04:29] <server3> I suppose to use exim4 as mail-server for internet
[04:29] <frogzoo> GoopyMonkey: that's safest, but if you value your data, you'll backup first
[04:29] <zoli2k> unop: I installed ubuntu on  many computers, mostly for  non-experienced linux users. They love the ubuntu graphical upgrade system, but probably they are not able to handle a crash from X to terminal. Do you think is upgrading ubuntu  safe? I always had the development version installed, so I am not surprised if something falls.
[04:29] <m4ytt> capwheres tab
[04:29] <GoopyMonkey> ok, if I take that road instead of a new hard drive, I will backup. :D
[04:29] <bluefox83> Zdra, why are you compiling instead of installing from the repos?
[04:30] <Zdra> bluefox83: because in the repos metacity doesn't have the compositor enabled
[04:30] <bulmer> server3: is the problem  interfacing with mysql or just to get exim4 running?
[04:30] <unop> syzygyLap,  well, the way to go is edit the /etc/apt/sources.list and add in the ubuntu repositories -- then use apt-get to dist-upgrade .. and then spend quite sometime stablisizing the system afterwards:)
[04:30] <cappiz> m4ytt, TAP is the button right above "Caps Lock"
[04:30] <cappiz> TAB*
[04:30] <syzygyLap> huh... in safe graphics mode it doesn't have output on either of my monitors
[04:30] <bluefox83> zoli2k, once in a while, packages get stuck when upgraded, but for the most part it's pretty safe
[04:31] <bluefox83> Zdra, you don't need it...
[04:31] <usuario> guarra
[04:31] <frogzoo> zoli2k: so far only fairly basic setups have been able to upgrade without any problems
[04:31] <Spaghetti_Knife> PriceChild: Heya, it's me. I logged in and out like you said, and is the icon for the gnome network manager the two-screens thing that I see at the right?
[04:31] <usuario> hello
[04:31] <Spaghetti_Knife> PriceChild: Because I bring it up, and I don't see a list of available networks.
[04:31] <freezey> cappiz: yeah i want to see my FTP the folders that i have inside of their
[04:31] <usuario> guarra
[04:31] <heatman> what are the pc requirements for ubuntu 6.10 and also, what could cause the pc to freeze everytime i use apt-get/synaptic or other updating tools?
[04:31] <PriceChild> Spaghetti_Knife, on the right click menu is wireless enabled?
[04:31] <unop> zoli2k,  well, thats the thing with upgrading anything -- you cannot guarantee everything is going to work as in a fresh install -- there will always be small nagging problems .. in ubuntu, most of them are definitely rectifiable -- but to answer your question -- it's definitely better to upgrade than do a fresh install
[04:32] <cappiz> freezey, are you able to login to the server?
[04:32] <frogzoo> heatman: minimum I think is 5gig + 1gig cpu
[04:32] <freezey> cappiz: na thats what i am sayin how do i even hit that?>

[04:39] <zoli2k> frogzoo: bluefox83, unop:  I think users with "sophisticated" ubuntu installations are able   to solve problems with upgrades. I only want to be sure, that users with "I able to click on firefox logo" knowledge will happy with ubuntu. Thank you for sharing your experience.
[04:39] <fromvega> Is there a way to use only one user account with all the server services like mail, ftp, apache, ssh? Because I'm a little confused about all the user that I need to create and configure for all the services. Which is the best way to manage and organize user accounts?
[04:39] <freezey> cappiz: what dir does it look in?
[04:39] <edit_21> need support for 965 intel chipset
[04:39] <PriceChild> Spaghetti_Knife, I don't know really... if you're not getting a right click menu then I haven't got a clue how to fix that
[04:39] <freezey> cappiz: and say i wanted to add another user... so they can sign in from outside my machine
[04:39] <hellmet> !realtek
[04:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about realtek - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:39] <m4ytt> RAW
[04:40] <Spaghetti_Knife> PriceChild: Thanks.
[04:40] <freezey> cappiz: lol sorry and say i wanna take it off of localhost
[04:40] <Spaghetti_Knife> PriceChild: How do I terminal access this app?
[04:40] <PriceChild> Spaghetti_Knife, its not a terminal app
[04:40] <cappiz> freezey, find you external IP, if you are behind a firewall you need to forwar port 21, and the passive port range.
[04:41] <Slasher> WOOOOOOOHOOO thanks everyone for the help! its working now :D
[04:41] <unop> zoli2k,  thats a tough question to answer -- for the most part, i'll say yes -- but there might be instances for e.g. that firefox or one of it's plugins will have failed to work after the upgrade .. so, then you do need to troubleshoot small issues afterwards -- but the same thing happens when you upgrade windows even, small issues persist afterwards
[04:41] <Jeeva> i installed samba & created a user, but when i go to the pc path \\<IP_ADDRESS>, it says, network path not found
[04:41] <ste> iopiop
[04:42] <muuhDBX> Slasher: you will be eternaly idebt
[04:42] <muuhDBX> Slasher: you will be eternaly indebt
[04:42] <Spaghetti_Knife> PriceChild: Thanks.
[04:42] <andy> anyone knows a good php editor for gnome?
[04:42] <Slasher> muuhDBX: ???? lol
[04:42] <ste> ooops, isnot the communauty french
[04:42] <bluefox83> Jeeva, did you create a mount point, and mount the share?
[04:42] <ste> bye !
[04:42] <unop> Jeeva, <IP_ADDRESS> is the samba machine ? try accessing a share  \\<IP_ADDRESS>\sharename
[04:42] <zoli2k> unop: but this firefox thing is nothing serios. ;)
[04:42] <frogzoo> andy: emacs?
[04:42] <devilsadvocate> what are seveas's repositories?
[04:43] <freezey> cappiz: ok i am just going to NAT the box out... because i am behind a firewall.. so basically once i have that port natted out it should be cool?
[04:43] <andy> frogzoo, how's the learning curve?
[04:43] <PriceChild> !Seveas | freebsd_fan
[04:43] <ubotu> freebsd_fan: Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages. More info (and mirrors) on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[04:43] <PriceChild> argh
[04:43] <PriceChild> freezey, ^^^
[04:43] <unop> zoli2k,  to you the firefox thing is not serious -- but to someone who just "points, clicks and hopes to get by" it sure is :)
[04:43] <frogzoo> andy: I don't think anyone knows all of emacs
[04:43] <freezey> Pricechild: what are you trying to tell me?
[04:44] <andy> frogzoo, but is it hard to learn?
[04:44] <unop> RMS might know all of emacs ... even his beard tells emacs tales :)
[04:44] <andy> lol
[04:44] <PriceChild> freezey, whoops... not you either... I meant devilsadvocate..... sorry I'm being poor today :)
[04:44] <jaycie> i would like to know if ubuntu networking networkign is easier to get to work than xp.. so i can throw xp where it belongs.. in the gargabe
[04:44] <freezey> Pricechild: its alright haha
[04:44] <frogzoo> andy: there's cheat sheets for the basic commands, then enable php mode & figure out tags & you're in business
[04:45] <andy> frogzoo, alright ;)
[04:45] <unop> andy,  its considerably easier than vi/vim to learn .. but much harder than the average-joe editors .. so it's somewhere inbetween
[04:45] <zoli2k> unop: Nothing serios from my viewpoint. I mean, in such a case I am able to login via SSH  and solve the problem without physical access.
[04:45] <andy> unop, should be perfect for me then
[04:46] <GoopyMonkey> frogzoo: OK, thanks, I'e had a look around at things, but will I need to boot ubuntu from the CD to actually use gparted?
[04:46] <freezey> cappiz: how do i enable it to prompt you to sign in?
[04:46] <Alucart> gooood morning vietnam ^^
[04:46] <GoopyMonkey> frogzoo: sorry, *I've
[04:46] <Alucart> hello
[04:46] <unop> zoli2k,  ok, i'll make it easier on you -- over time, the ubuntu upgrades have become much more consistent and successful .. does that make you feel happy now? :)
[04:46] <Jeeva> unop: where can i see my samba users
[04:46] <bluefox83> jaycie, in my oppinion ubuntu networking is infinantly easier than windows cus when stuff breaks you can actually fix it, and not hope windows can do it right
[04:46] <frogzoo> GoopyMonkey: that sounds like a good approach, but still backup any data you can't replace
[04:46] <Slasher> right well thats ndiswrapper fixed, now to go break something else
[04:47] <freezey> unop: do u know how i would make this prompt you to sign into the machine?
[04:47] <cappiz> freezey, try ftp://user:pass@localhost first
[04:47] <GoopyMonkey> frogzoo: OK, I'll back up my sisters MP3's and my flash 8 things :)
[04:47] <Alucart> is eanybody able to explaine me how i activate the fullduplex off my soundcard?
[04:47] <freezey> well i just want it to prompt you to sign into the FTP
[04:47] <freezey> i think i have anon access setup tho
[04:48] <freezey> cappiz: i think i have anon access setup tho so i am guessing if i take that off it will prompt me
[04:48] <bluefox83> Alucart, fullduplex?
[04:48] <jaycie> bluefox83 ok do u network and can share printer? if theres a web site i will look
[04:48] <zoli2k> unop: I am allways happy ubuntu user :) I jumped over Mandrake, Red Hat, Gentoo, Suse, Debian, and Ubuntu is my favorite. So forgive me my critical eye :)
[04:49] <hellmet>  yep, Ubuntu rules
[04:49] <Alucart> every new soundcard is able to use fullduplex thats mean you can talk on teamspeak with some guys and to listen music
[04:49] <unop> freezey,  what prompt is that -- ftp?
[04:49] <unop> Jeeva,  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=23616
[04:49] <bluefox83> jaycie, when my girlfriend ran xp i used to share files with her back and forth easily, she uses ubuntu now though and it's as easy as moving a file into a folder now :). as for printer sharing, i knwo there's oodles of tools out there for it, i just don't have a printer to try them on >.>
[04:49] <habeeb>  Hello I want to allow a user to read/write two certain directories, in which right now he doesnt have even read access. How can I do that?
[04:49] <jaycie> thank u bluefox83
[04:50] <jaycie> ah ok
[04:50] <bluefox83> jaycie, no problem :)
[04:50] <jaycie> well xp works only if it wants to
[04:50] <freezey> unop: well what i am sayin is that... when people from the outside goto hit my ftp service i want them to use the credentials i gave them
[04:50] <unop> habeeb,  chmod u+rw dir1 dir2
[04:50] <jaycie> bluefox83 u use ubuntu 6.10 edgy?
[04:50] <Alucart> jaycie: but you can use dna-driver for ati graphiccards ^^
[04:50] <freezey> unop: and another thing is say i have videos on this FTP service... how do i make it so they stream the video instead of having to download it?
[04:50] <unop> habeeb,  thats for when the user is the owner of the two directories there
[04:51] <bluefox83> jaycie, yes, and she uses breezy
[04:51] <jaycie> Alucart i'm NEW so alot is greek to me
[04:51] <jaycie> breezy is which?
[04:51] <MsgToThePpl> anyone can help me with a usb card reader ?
[04:51] <cappiz> freezey, yeah.
[04:51] <andy> frogzoo, I installed emacs snapshot with gtk support, is that enough?
[04:52] <unop> freezey,  to answer the first question -- just as long as you have disabled anonymous login, the users _must_ use credentials you give them .. the second one depends on the browsers that the users use -- some browsers "stream" multimedia content, some dont
[04:52] <andy> because I can't see emacs in my applications menu
[04:52] <bluefox83> jaycie, breezy is 6.06 but i would suggest edgy as it's got newer software available ;)
[04:52] <Alucart> jaycie: i use debian etch or other distris but not since 1990 ^^ i dont know everything, too
[04:52] <habeeb> He is not unop
[04:52] <jaycie> ok blue thanks.. rite
[04:52] <jaycie> ok Alam_Ubuntu
[04:52] <jaycie> Alucart i meant
[04:52] <frogzoo> andy: I guess you'll want to install 'php-mode' as well
[04:52] <Alucart> jaycie: to install the system and all drivers bring up to work is a war for me ^^
[04:53] <jaycie> i have an old laptop and a new one i can't get printer to share anymore and i'm tired of the xp mess
[04:53] <bluefox83> Alucart, whats the matter?
[04:53] <yommb> what  good lightweight file managers are out there for ubuntu ?
[04:53] <jaycie> Alucart war as in pain?
[04:54] <jaycie> in a min gonna try to find some online help for sharing on ubuntu then thanks
[04:54] <jaycie> ops
[04:54] <unop> yommb,  rox-filer and gnome-commander are two i like
[04:54] <jaycie> i am gonna
[04:54] <jaycie> thanks .. have a great day.. bye
[04:55] <Alucart> jaicie: yeah it is what i mean
[04:55] <Alucart> ^^
[04:55] <bluefox83> you too jaycie
[04:55] <jaycie> won't be good for me then Alucart i bet
[04:55] <jaycie> bye
[04:55] <bluefox83> >.>
[04:56] <bluefox83> what the hell
[04:56] <Alucart> bluefox83: i am not able to hear music an play or talk in teamspeak
[04:56] <MedivhX> ahoy!
[04:56] <bluefox83> you shouldn't tell people it's hard to do stuff just cus you can't get it working...other people can and by saying it's hard you discourage users from trying ubuntu >.>
[04:56] <pirx> hey! isnt it a bit crappy that the default media player (totem) cant play a single f***ing video file out there? :)
[04:57] <bluefox83> Alucart, what kind of headset are you using?
[04:57] <santa> hi all
[04:57] <Alucart> bluefox83: it is a standard headdy
[04:57] <bauer77> pirx do you have the codecs to play the files installed?
[04:57] <santa> are the repositories a little bit messed up today ?
[04:57] <Slackwise> pirx: That's Gstreamer's fault for not having the right codecs :P
[04:57] <unop> pirx,  please mind the language ... and have you got some codecs installed?
[04:57] <bluefox83> Alucart, and your speakers and headset don't plug into the same hole?
[04:58] <Alucart> bluefox: no ^^
[04:58] <Alucart> bluefox: do you use windows as a second system?
[04:58] <bluefox83> Alucart, i doubt it's a problem of drivers, i believe you have a seperate sound device for each output
[04:58] <bluefox83> Alucart, i only use ubuntu ;)
[04:59] <Alucart> bluefox: there you can listen to musik and watch films with sounds too
[04:59] <freezey> unop: do u know of any apps where i can setup a streaming server?
[04:59] <bluefox83> Alucart, yeah, i can do that now O.o
[04:59] <santa> arrrggghhh
[04:59] <andy> when I try to remove vmware-player, I get an error message and so now everytime I install a package, the same error occurs, is there a way how I can fix that?
[04:59] <santa> could someone paste me a sources.list
[04:59] <bluefox83> Alucart, fullduplex probably creates a second sound device listing
[04:59] <Alucart> bluefox, this means that i must recompile the drivers of alsa and if that dont works the kernel?
[04:59] <unop> freezey,  apache can do it -- but i think you need to have the multimedia in a set format
[05:00] <bauer77> VLC you can Freezey
[05:00] <freezey> unop: know of any documentation?
[05:00] <bluefox83> Alucart, no
[05:00] <freezey> bauer77: yeah but i ahve an entire directory of files that needed to be streamed not just 1
[05:00] <bluefox83> Alucart, it means you need to find out what all of your audio output /dev listings are, and then make sure teamspeak and your music player are pointing to different ones ;)
[05:01] <unop> santa,  http://pastebin.ca/343378
[05:01] <santa> thank you
[05:01] <Alucart> bluefox, how can i do this?
[05:01] <bauer77> ah ok
[05:01] <bauer77> when you find the answer let me know...hehe
[05:01] <bluefox83> Alucart, poke around man..that's how you learn...
[05:01] <freezey> bauer77: haha u talkin to me?
[05:02] <bauer77> yeah..lol
[05:02] <pirx> Slackwise: yeah, at least some files should be playable:) do you know which package to install to get more codecs?
[05:02] <gpled> trying to understand why ubuntu updates are so slow?  only getting 19kB/s .  Is their mirrors i should be using, that are faster?
[05:02] <roadton> hi there
[05:02] <bluefox83> Alucart, i would try something like skype first, to check out your audio input/output stuff, while playing music in something like amarok or xmms ;)
[05:02] <Alucart> bluefox, then i must read a lot x-D i hate it to read ^^ i like to listen but festival can help
[05:03] <HymnToLife> gpled, in which part of the world do you live ?
[05:03] <bluefox83> gpled, hey i had that issue..sept i was getting speeds of less than 1k
[05:03] <Alucart> bluefox, thats my prob i cant do that
[05:03] <bluefox83> Alucart, it's not hard, just try different listings till something works
[05:03] <bluefox83> Alucart, why not?
[05:04] <Vuen> hi, how can i check in a bash script whether a file exists?
[05:04] <roadton> I've tried a lot but I can't get my AccessRunner DSL to work on ubuntu
[05:04] <Alucart> bluefox, for example when i had open for example totem and whant to hear music in beep then i get a meassage that the is sounddevice is in use
[05:05] <AVN`> I can't get Last.fm and festival to work at the same time
[05:05] <bluefox83> O.o
[05:05] <bluefox83> i don't get that issue to my knowledge..
[05:05] <onats> hi, what program controls the physical volume control?
[05:05] <bluefox83> onats, gnome volume control
[05:05] <gpled> HymnToLife: in the <IP_ADDRESS> part
[05:06] <Vuen> anyone? i need to check via the command line whether a file exists
[05:06] <hbaigu> roadton, do you have the cxacru-fw.bin
[05:07] <onats> bluefox83, so how do i change which slider the physical volume control changes when i adjust the volume?
[05:07] <AVN`> I can't get Last.fm and festival to work at the same time, any suggestions? Festival says it can't access /dev/dsp
[05:07] <rapid> Vuen, type ls, if you see it it probably exists.
[05:07] <Vuen> rapid: i need to check this in a script. nevermind i found it, it's if [-e <file>]
[05:07] <unop> Vuen,  if [ -e file ] ; then echo exits; fi
[05:07] <Jeeva> where does windows /hosts sits again
[05:08] <andy> can I somehow force to delete a package?
[05:08] <bluefox83> onats, it's usually master control/ master output  or pcm, try it and find out
[05:08] <unop> Jeeva,  %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
[05:08] <Jeeva> tar
[05:08] <guest_uris> Hi everyone, has anyone had any luck installing Ubuntu on a western digital 1600 sata hard drive?
[05:08] <roadton> hbaigu: yes, I've already extracted the firmware
[05:08] <unop> andy,  usually - sudo dpkg --purge package  does it
[05:09] <andy> unop, it gives me an error
[05:09] <unop> andy,  i'd be interested in that if you're interested in me giving you an interesting suggestion :)
[05:09] <hbaigu> roadton, and what is in the output of dmesg
[05:09] <scratchme> When building a kernel, how do you create an install from the kernel package (.deb file) to be placed on a new install?  Like if I wanted a small ubuntu distro.
[05:10] <andy> the problem is the error is in german so I don't think it will be a big of a help but let me check real quick
[05:10] <scratchme> Rather than only updating your current install/boot kernel.
[05:10] <soundray> andy: plenty of German language competence here
[05:10] <andy> alright, I gonna post it on a paste service(anyone knows one by heart? :D)
