[11:56] <kexman_> yeah that is what i want to to
[11:56] <Quinan> Is there any more update on a fix for using a USB headset with ubuntu?
[11:56] <nibbler> ah you did, good
[11:56] <kexman_> but i dont now if i need th f initrd or not
[11:56] <ikonia> kexman_: the initrd paramater should be set
[11:56] <woody86> can anyone help me figure out why I can connect to my WPA wireless with NM, but not WICD?
[11:56] <kexman_> ikonia: problem is that there was no initrd there
[11:56] <ikonia> kexman_: and you should have the initrd file in your /boot directory
[11:56] <kexman_> and i made one
[11:56] <kexman_> there wasnt any
[11:57] <ikonia> kexman_: if your missing files like that I would not trust the integrity of your machine
[11:57] <ikonia> kexman_: I would re-install
[11:57] <kexman_> hehehe :)
[11:57] <kexman_> ikonia: well i think its just that
[11:57] <kexman_> that gets made at compile time
[11:57] <kexman_> right ?
[11:57] <ikonia> kexman_: no
[11:57] <ikonia> kexman_: I think you should re-install your system
[11:57] <kexman_> ikonia: and i think not
[11:57] <kexman_> i am not fond of reinstallations
[11:57] <Fret18> lol
[11:57] <kexman_> and i used gentoo on many ocasions
[11:58] <nibbler> kexman_: if its a fresh install anyway, it might be easieset
[11:58] <kexman_> and i think this can be still fixed without reinstallations
[11:58] <kexman_> well if that file is static like the ubuntu kernel
[11:58] <kexman_> could anyone tell me where i could download it
[11:58] <ikonia> kexman_ if you are missing core files,I would not trust the integrity of yoru system, thats the reason I'm suggesting you re-install
[11:58] <kexman_> and try it
[11:58] <nibbler> kexman_: boot, chroot into it, reinstall latest kernel, should setup everything
[11:59] <kexman_> yeah nibbler that should work
[11:59] <kexman_> one more thing where should i install grub ? to hd0 or hd0,0 if my installation lies on a single /dev/sda1/
[11:59] <kexman_> nibbler: thnks i was thinking the same
[11:59] <ikonia> kexman_: on the boot sector of your boot disk
[11:59] <nibbler> kexman_: hd0, but doesnt matter
[12:00] <kexman_> okay
[12:00] <kexman_> i was just trying to minimazi problems :)
[12:00] <kexman_> man this ubuntu was a messed when i looked at it
[12:00] <kexman_> /etc/fstab had only #commented out lines in it :) hihihihi :))
[12:02] <ikonia> kexman_: thats why I suggest you re-install
[12:02] <kexman_> ikonia: cant you just give me the command to reinstall a working kernel ?
[12:02] <kexman_> i chrooted into the setup
[12:03] <ikonia> kexman_: of course, but it doesn't sound like thats the full situation
[12:03]  * A new e-mail message has just arrived. Press Alt-F4 to read it now.
[12:03] <kexman_> ikonia: let me just try that :)
[12:03] <ikonia> kexman_: it sounds like your machine is in a mass
[12:03] <kexman_> and hope meanwhile :)
[12:03] <ikonia> ardchoille: stop that please
[12:03] <bazhang> a dont do that
[12:03] <ikonia> MistDragn: please disable that script
[12:03] <woody86> Can anyone help me figure out why I can connect to my wireless with NM, but not WICD?
[12:03] <kexman_> ikonia: we could try that and if that doesnt work we go home :) its christmas :)
[12:03] <bazhang> MistDragn, dont do that
[12:03] <kexman_> ikonia: make me a presend :)
[12:03] <kexman_> send me a command :)
[12:03] <kexman_> please :)
[12:03] <kexman_> hehe
[12:03] <ikonia> kexman_ be quicker and easier to just re-install
[12:04] <Koordin> nibbler, i've deleted all the lines but the first two and this seems to work, but i don't know for how long
[12:04]  * Press Alt-F4 to increase your bandwidth now.
[12:04] <nibbler> kexman_: rtfm, rtfw, fgi
[12:04] <nibbler> Koordin: you deleted lines?? ummm yes, fingers crossed
[12:04] <ikonia> MistDragn: please don't do that again
[12:04] <kexman_> ooo maaan
[12:05] <MistDragn> sorry i didn't mean to do that.. this thing has all these options
[12:05] <MistDragn> i accidentally clicked the wrong thing
[12:05] <bazhang> MistDragn, disable them now
[12:05] <kexman_> please anyone give me a command to install the latest kernel (stable)
[12:05] <ikonia> !give ikonia a test
[12:05] <Koordin> yes nibbler in /etc/network/interfaces
[12:05] <ikonia> kexman_: apt-get install
[12:05] <MistDragn> they were never enabled, just a click to execute thing.. i'll avoid those menus
[12:05] <ikonia> kexman_: apt-cache search for tha package name
[12:05] <kexman_> Reading package lists... 1%
[12:06] <MistDragn> make install
[12:06] <kexman_> ikonia: what else should i reinstall ?
[12:06] <ikonia> kexman_: the whole system
[12:06] <kexman_> which are the core stuff that i would need ? :)
[12:06] <MistDragn> yeah you really need a full overhaul
[12:06] <nibbler> hehe
[12:06] <kexman_> ikonia: stop telling me that :P
[12:06] <ikonia> kexman_: then start listeing
[12:06] <nibbler> kexman_: aptitude install vim <-- 1st thing to do
[12:06] <kexman_> ikonia: i am not going to reinstall it
[12:06] <kexman_> if anyone then its that guy who messed up
[12:06] <ikonia> kexman_: ok, good luck thenm
[12:06] <kexman_> ill try fix this and if i cant in 10 - 15 minutes im going home :)
[12:06] <kexman_> simple :)
[12:07] <MistDragn> well everyone who's anyone knows that the first thing to do is aptitude install vim
[12:07] <ikonia> MistDragn: don't be silly
[12:07] <nibbler> kexman_: i advise you to go home now, save you the 15 mins
[12:07] <kexman_> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 194 not upgraded.
[12:07] <bazhang> MistDragn, stop please
[12:07] <MistDragn> there is one other thing you could try
[12:08] <kexman_> okay i did an apt-get install
[12:08] <kexman_> apt-get update
[12:08] <kexman_> apt-get upgrde :)

[12:11] <tuntun> Hi. How do I  install 8.10 onwith inode size of 128?
[12:11] <ikonia> tuntun: thats very specific
[12:12] <alec> so im trying to navigate to a file and change soemthing in it. how do i navgate to a file in command line. im really new to linux
[12:13] <bastid_raZor> !cli > alec
[12:14] <kexman_> im leaving the guy to reinstall it :)
[12:14] <kexman_> see ya next year :)
[12:14] <troythetechguy> Good morning.  I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 with the following separate partitions: /, /home.  I created another partition for a future distro when I originally set this machine up.  If I install ubuntu 8.10 64bit on the spare partition, will I be able to share the same /home directory without any issues?  I assume 8.10 will show up in grub and allow me to choose which OS to use (8.04 or 8.10)?  Anything else I should consider before s
[12:14] <troythetechguy> etting this up?
[12:14] <kexman_> merry christmas nibbler ikonia  :)
[12:14] <kexman_> all hail reisntall :)
[12:14] <kexman_> :P
[12:14] <kexman_> im going home
[12:15] <Lou_> Just in case anyone else is having problems with their file browser being unable to open their home directory, it is caused by a bug in this file: lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc-2.8.90.so   Restoring that file from a backup older than the recent update solved the problem for me.
[12:16] <nibbler_> Koordin: working?
[12:17] <alec> bastid_razor: i have a familiarity with terminal, i think there is jsut somethign oim not getting my moind around particularly with opening aand manipulating fiiles i can navigate the terminal comfortably but i dotn know how to make a file my working directory. does that make any sense
[12:17] <SoundGuyLptop> hello. can anyone help me with fixing a ubuntu 6.06 that won't boot up after a power failure?
[12:17] <nibbler_> SoundGuyLptop: what error?
[12:18] <bastid_raZor> alec; cd /path/to/file then you can edit the file with a text editor such as vim or nano
[12:18] <SoundGuyLptop> i'll ask, but what my dad (who's near the server) told me, that the kernel is stuck while loading
[12:18] <SoundGuyLptop> and then -
[12:18] <SoundGuyLptop> it goes to the minimal shell ting
[12:18] <SoundGuyLptop> thing
[12:19] <SoundGuyLptop> and when he did df it said that /dec/hdc1 had some trouble
[12:19] <alec> bastid_razor: when i do that i get "no such file or directory. what am i doing wrong?
[12:19] <SoundGuyLptop> i don't even konw what to do to begin diagnosing what's wrong
[12:20] <ardchoille> ikonia: stop what?
[12:20] <dremits> hey everyone! Just wanted to ask a question regarding the ubuntu article on connecting to the internet using speedtouch: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbAdslModem/SpeedTouch
[12:20] <dremits> The guide mentions extracting the firmware from the hardware but will these changes be then transferred back to the hardware or just stored on my hard drive. The point i'm asking is that if I set the speed touch modem up with Ubuntu, will the modem be affected in anyway when I use it with my other machine running Windows XP?
[12:20] <bastid_raZor> alec; you're either in the wrong directory or typing it wrong or it actually does not exist. where are you trying to get to? what are you typing?
[12:20] <ikonia> ardchoille: ?
[12:20] <bazhang> ardchoille, a mis-tab
[12:20] <ardchoille> ah
[12:20] <bazhang> ardchoille, the user's nick was 'A'

[12:31] <filthpig> Ohio. I'm having some trouble copying files from a Sandisk Extreme III SD card (2 gb) to ubuntu. I'm using a built-in SD card reader on my laptop.. It seems like the card disconnects and reconnects at random when copying files. F-spot complains about losing contact with d-bus.. I have taken screenshots and copied all the error output, can someone help me with this?
[12:32] <filthpig> Using ubuntu 8.04 btw
[12:36] <Slart> !anyone | gmachine_24
[12:39] <SoundGuyLptop> nibbler_: ALERT! /dev/hdc1 does not exists. dropping to a shell.
[12:39] <nibbler_> SoundGuyLptop: when grub shows, press e and edit the kernel line to have root=/dev/sda1
[12:39] <nibbler_> SoundGuyLptop: sdc1 sorry
[12:40] <KrossX> Hello
[12:40] <KrossX> Digo... buenas. XD
[12:40] <KrossX> Una pregunta, cómo hacer ALSA surround51 como predeterminado?
[12:40] <SoundGuyLptop> nibbler_ : but;s an IDE drive
[12:40] <nibbler_> SoundGuyLptop: alternatively your secondary master harddrive has disappered, damages, dead etc
[12:41] <ardchoille> !es | KrossX
[12:41] <dr_willis> IDE drves show up as /dev/sd## now a days
[12:41] <SoundGuyLptop> even in 6.06 ?
[12:41] <nibbler_> SoundGuyLptop: on the shell, type fdisk -l
[12:41] <KrossX> Oh, sorry. Thought this was spanish. XD
[12:41] <Slart> SoundGuyLptop: ouch.. why are you running 6.06?
[12:41] <nibbler_> KrossX: there is some #ubuntu-es for sure
[12:41] <dr_willis> No idea on that SoundGuyLptop   - i dont use  that old stuff
[12:41] <KrossX> Oh, there's no trouble.
[12:42] <SoundGuyLptop> Slack_ : because it worked. until today.
[12:42] <nibbler_> hehe
[12:42] <nibbler_> bbl good luck to you SoundGuyLptop
[12:42] <KrossX> Question, how to make surround51 device as default in ALSA?
[12:42] <KrossX> I can't seem to access the wiki for the asoundrc... and most I found are just upmix for stereo.
[12:43] <alec> can anyone tell me how to navigate to a file, rather than a directory?
[12:44] <dr_willis> alec,   clarify what you mean.
[12:44] <alec> im trying to navigate to /etc/hosts. and i either cant or dont know how
[12:45] <dr_willis> alec,  that makes little sence...   what do you mean by navigate?
[12:45] <fosco_> alec: i can't understand the meaning of "navigate to a file"
[12:45] <dr_willis> to OPEN a file    commane /path/to/file
[12:45] <dr_willis> gedit /path/to/whatever.txt
[12:45] <alec> ok
[12:45] <dr_willis> which makes MUCH more sence then navigate. :)
[12:46] <dr_willis> my Tom-Tom Navigates. :)
[12:46] <alec> dr_willis: well im jsut following the directions i found online, where they use navigate all the time
[12:48] <anold> Hey there am new just trying to learn java any 1 to help me?
[12:49] <Vinceman> does anybody know anything about the sound recorder?
[12:49] <AshTray-> anold: And what Java has to do with ubuntu ?
[12:49] <dr_willis> alec,  cant say taht ive ever seen that term to  open a file.. You navigate  - ie :  'move to' a directory then work on files in the dir...
[12:50] <Vinceman> When you use the sound recorder, how do you know that input 'capture' is good enough? My sound is not recorded strongly enough.. :(
[12:50] <moza> nibbler_, that upgrade didn't solve my proxy problem :( does anybody have an idea on how to get rid of a proxy under 8.04 ?
[12:51]  * dr_willis Navigates to Grandmaws house. but does not Navigate to the Apple Pie :) he opens it..
[12:51] <Vinceman> nobody records sound? that's impossible
[12:51] <Vinceman> there are over 1200 people here!
[12:51] <moza> Vinceman, i use audacity to record sound
[12:51] <filthpig> anold: I guess there are better channels than this to get help with programming. You can try in #java
[12:51] <Vinceman> moza so the standard sound recorder is no good then?
[12:52] <filthpig> Vinceman: although there are 1200 people listed here, it doesn't mean they're all in front of their computer all the time
[12:52] <moza> and i adjust the capture volume so that it is high enough AND not too high to make noise
[12:52] <jercos> yeah, most of us live somewhere you'd have to be insane to be awake at the current hour.
[12:52] <moza> Vinceman, i don't know what is the standard sound recorder
[12:52] <moza> and if i need another adjustment on the capture, i use alsamixer
[12:52] <alec> dr_willis: well i guess i just meant, how do i navigate to the apple pie
[12:53] <ardchoille> Vinceman: you also must consider that some of use don't even use sound, I'm not even sure if mine works
[12:53] <Vinceman> gnome-sound-recorder <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:53] <filthpig> btw Vinceman, if you right-click on the sound icon, select "open volume control" and go to file - change device and go to the capture device, you can adjust capture levels there
[12:53] <slacker_nl> i have a a file /path/to/b.sh and there is a symlink /another/path/to/c.sh, and b.sh uses dirname $0, but when executing c, the dirname is incorrect, what application/cmd can i use to get the correct dirname?
[12:54] <jercos> readlink?
[12:54] <dr_willis> alec,  that would be going to the directory/folder.. with the use of the 'cd' command.
[12:54] <dr_willis> cd /home/grandma/kitchen/fridge/
[12:54] <dr_willis> eat apple.pie
[12:54] <dr_willis> :)
[12:55] <ardchoille> slacker_nl: have you moved the file that /another/path/to/c.sh links to?
[12:55] <Vinceman> where's this sound icon?
[12:55] <Vinceman> filthpig?
[12:56] <moza> Vinceman, probably at the bottom right of your screen if you didn't move the toolbars
[12:56] <jimmy__> Mary X-mas everybody
[12:57] <alec> dr_willis: yes i see the difference, but you see what i meant. after all your a doctor. it was just an issue of semantics.
[12:57] <dr_willis> alec,  semantics kills :)
[12:57] <dr_willis> alec,  i still use the term 'directory' not folder.. also.. im old-skool
[12:57] <clamiax> hi
[12:57] <dr_willis> alec,  you were allready navigating to the file :) is what had us confused.
[12:58] <jercos> well, I mean, you don't cf to a folder, you cd to a directory...
[12:58] <slacker_nl> jercos: looks like i need that
[12:58] <slacker_nl> tyvm
[12:58] <jercos> slacker_nl: indeed. you are quite welcome :)
[12:59] <alec> dr_willis: yes, im new to command line, its what had me confused, i thought i could make the file my working directory jsut as i would /Desktop, for example.
[12:59] <slacker_nl> i knew there was a command that did it, but forgot the name :)
[12:59] <clamiax> I'm trying to get my mini DV videos out of my camera over Firewire/USB on Ubuntu 8.04. I tried to follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firewire#Method%205.%20%27GROUP=video%27 . Unlucky i didn't solved my problem and i get the following error "WARNING: raw1394 kernel module not loaded or failure to read/write /dev/raw1394!"
[12:59] <clamiax> I tried to run Kino as root but i get the same problem, i googled a lot (and i'm still googling) but without success
[12:59] <alec> dr_willis:but its in fact a different command to open the file. as i have now learned.
[12:59] <jercos> clamiax: sudo modprobe raw1394 would be my first instinct
[13:00] <clamiax> my camera is a Canon MV900, does anyone have an idea?
[13:00] <clamiax> jercos: already did, it was my first attempt.
[13:00] <jercos> okay, if you run "id" is "video" one of the groups you are in?
[13:00] <clamiax> jercos: i also loaded the dv1394 module
[13:00] <SoundGuyLptop> nibbler_: thanks.
[13:00] <clamiax> jercos: yes, i'm in the video group. I also tried to run Kino as root, btw.
[13:00] <SoundGuyLptop> nibbler_ : hdc1 was the cdrom, we edited in grub to be hda1
[13:01] <martintux1> cany anyone help me with mysql lamp?
[13:01] <jercos> how odd. and ls -lah /dev/raw1394?
[13:01] <robinpahwa>  My Vim has stopped displaying colors when i use to edit my dot c files or any other program file, it just shows me black text - any body has any idea ?
[13:02] <jercos> robinpahwa: does it start showing colors again if you do :syntax on?
[13:02] <clamiax> crw-rw---- 1 root disk 171, 0 2008-12-24 13:48 /dev/raw1394
[13:02] <clamiax> jercos: that's the output
[13:02] <Vinceman> moza the extra options are in open volume control but not in the sound recorder
[13:02] <robinpahwa> jercos: yes ... when i use :syn on
[13:02] <nibbler_> SoundGuyLptop: good, strange how it changed.....
[13:02] <pcmagas> hey guys
[13:03] <moza> Vinceman, then modify them in the volume control, it may help
[13:03] <ikonia> pcmagas: yes ?
[13:03] <clamiax> hey pcmagas
[13:03] <pcmagas> what yes?
[13:03] <dr_willis> alec,  more fun confusion at the 'lowest' levels of the OS.. even directories are files. :)
[13:03] <Vinceman> I tried, the recording volume is still very low
[13:03] <moza> (i'm definitely not an expert in sound
[13:03] <ikonia> pcmagas sorry, for some reason you got highlighted as if you where talking to me, my mistake, sorry
[13:03] <martintux1> anyone know how to completely reinstall mysql?
[13:03] <pcmagas> nm
[13:03] <martintux1> mysql server is totally screwed up
[13:03] <ikonia> martintux1: use the --reinstall package
[13:04] <ikonia> martintux1: --reinstall option sorry
[13:04] <ikonia> martintux1: define screwed
[13:04] <martintux1> but the sock and everything is missing, i have no idea
[13:04] <Mallen> ok, ive always wondered this, but do you have to have an anti-virus program (ie. kapersky, Trend) with linux?
[13:04] <robinpahwa> jercos: you there ?
[13:04] <slacker_nl> robinpahwa: http://pb.opperschaap.net/58
[13:04] <martintux1> will it help too?
[13:04] <ikonia> martintux1: nope
[13:04] <jercos> robinpahwa: yeah, add syntax on to ~/.vimrc?
[13:04] <ikonia> martintux1: still waiting for you to explain teh problem
[13:04] <slacker_nl> robinpahwa: put that in your vimrc, and you can enable syntax with the press of a button
[13:05] <jacko> Mallen: not unless you wanna scan for windows viruses
[13:05] <martintux1> ikonia, 1 sec
[13:05] <alec> dr_willis:well i probably have a while before i run into that problem
[13:05] <Mallen> jako, windows viruses? on my ubuntu box?
[13:05] <Ean> Hi all! And Meryr Christmas!
[13:05] <robinpahwa> jercos: i m unable to see a .vimrc file in my home directory
[13:06] <ardchoille> robinpahwa: you have to create that file
[13:06] <jacko> Mallen: that would be, if you run a mailserver and wanna scan for windows viruses through your mail server to protect your userbase
[13:06] <clamiax> jercos: maybe do i have to enable something into the camera? I can't see it from my laptop.
[13:06] <jercos> robinpahwa: then echo 'syntax on' > ~/.vimrc :-)
[13:06] <alec> dr_willis: actually, while were at it, how do i connect to a network (aka, the windows network at my apartment) in ubuntu. i can see the other connected computers but i cant access any files
[13:06] <ardchoille> robinpahwa: I created mine from /usr/share/vim/vimrc
[13:06] <slacker_nl> robinpahwa: http://pb.opperschaap.net/59
[13:06] <slacker_nl> that is what I have for syntax highlighting in vim
[13:07] <Ean> How can I make Compiz NOT to make a mini-thumb of the window when I alt tab? Just as when I have the extra bling-bling off? Because WoW seem sto crash when I have it on... :(
[13:07] <erle-> how can i configure details of localisation in gnome?
[13:07] <Mallen> jako: but as far as a personal computer, spyware and virus off the internet dont infect linux?
[13:07] <jercos> clamiax: it's possible. I'm by no means a 1394 expert, but I'm googling around trying to find something
[13:07] <b52> hey guys
[13:07] <martintux1> Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
[13:07] <b52> i wish you all merry christmas
[13:07] <clamiax> jercos: THX a lot for your help and time!
[13:07] <ikonia> martintux1 normally means mysql isn't running
[13:07] <jacko> Mallen: stop being paranoid
[13:07] <jacko> Mallen: it's ok to except that linux is pretty safe
[13:08] <Mallen> jako: lol ok
[13:08] <Mallen> ty
[13:08] <slacker_nl> Mallen: it can happen, but it is not very likely
[13:08] <davenchris> Good morning
[13:08] <clamiax> hey
[13:08] <jacko> Mallen: you'd have to be part of the problem for something like that to happen
[13:08] <slacker_nl> Mallen: and if it happens, it usually contained to tha user running the virus, not the whole system
[13:08] <Mallen> ah, ok
[13:08] <davenchris> First timer
[13:08] <robinpahwa> Thank you all .. i m trying to make my own .vimrc file
[13:08] <allsystemsarego> Hi. Question. Renaming xorg.conf to something else and rebooting will recreate that file from scratch?
[13:08] <Mallen> gotcha thanks guys
[13:08] <dr_willis> alec,  depends.. :) the 'new' way is use the gnome file manager and browse the network/acces the shares.. the  command line way is to mount the samba shares with smbmount or similer commands.  see the pacakge 'samba-doc' and the books in it.. for all the info you would EVER want on samba. :)
[13:08] <jercos> clamiax: sure thing. your ls -l indicated that raw1394 was actually owned by "disk" not "video", does it work after sudo chgrp video /dev/raw1394?
[13:08] <slacker_nl> allsystemsarego: noooo
[13:08] <ikonia> allsystemsarego: should do
[13:09] <ikonia> slacker_nl: ? I thought it created a stock one on restart ?
[13:09] <martintux1> ikonia, i think mysql is already started...
[13:09] <slacker_nl> ikonia: no
[13:09] <ikonia> martintux1 you need to check
[13:09] <dr_willis> alec,  also the gnome/file manager/browse method - is VERY flakey for me.. often i have to type in the full path to the  machine/sharename for it to pop up the username/password dialog to allow me to access the share
[13:09] <martintux1> how?
[13:09] <jacko> Mallen: for instance, you don;t wanna run sshd on port 22 without RSA authentication
[13:09] <slacker_nl> ikonia: you need to run dpkg-reconfigure x11-package for that
[13:09] <ikonia> martintux1 ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep myqsl
[13:09] <dr_willis> allsystemsarego,  no need to reboot,.,. just restart the X server.. its worked for me befor.
[13:09] <ikonia> slacker_nl interesting
[13:10] <jacko> Mallen: that is where people make mistakes, but as stated, you'd have to be part of the problem
[13:10] <bmeynell> how can I have a cool desktop? like a new live picture every X minutes from somewhere in the world or something else cool?
[13:10] <narita> hyyyyyyyyy?
[13:10] <martintux1> hhmmm, seems like nothing shows up
[13:10] <ikonia> martintux1 not started then
[13:10] <Analysto> how could i register my username?
[13:10] <martintux1> ikonia, then what can i do?
[13:10] <ikonia> Analysto: join #freenode
[13:10] <slacker_nl> ikonia: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[13:10] <ikonia> martintux1: start it "sudo mysql start"
[13:10] <slacker_nl> this is what you need to run to recreate the file
[13:10] <ardchoille> !register | Analysto
[13:10] <ikonia> martintux1: sorry, "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start"
[13:10] <Mallen> jako: thank you again, better safe than sorry
[13:11] <clamiax> jercos: not, same thing. I think the group no matter at all when i run Kino as root.
[13:11] <martintux1> ikonia, that's when it shows" ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock"
[13:11] <Ean> How can I make Compiz NOT to make a mini-thumb of the window when I alt tab? Just as when I have the extra bling-bling off? Because WoW seem sto crash when I have it on... :(
[13:11] <ikonia> martintux1: what command are you using
[13:11] <ikonia> martintux1: exactly what command
[13:12] <martintux1> sudo mysql start
[13:12] <dremits> hey everyone! Just wanted to ask a question regarding the ubuntu article on connecting to the internet using speedtouch: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbAdslModem/SpeedTouch
[13:12] <dremits> The guide mentions extracting the firmware from the hardware but will these changes be then transferred back to the hardware or just stored on my hard drive. The point i'm asking is that if I set the speed touch modem up with Ubuntu, will the modem be affected in anyway when I use it with my other machine running Windows XP?
[13:12] <ikonia> martintu "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start"
[13:12] <Dender> Hi guys, I need some help with a cool idea
[13:12] <dr_willis> bmeynell,  theres random/desktop/wallpaper changer tools out there..  check he package manager..
[13:12] <ikonia> martintux1: "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start"
[13:12] <Dender> also merry xmas ;)
[13:12] <slacker_nl> merry x-mas :)
[13:13] <bmeynell> dr_willis: not cool enough :P
[13:13] <martintux1> opps, failed
[13:13] <ikonia> martintux1 no you need to look at the syslog and the mysql server logs to find out why it's failing, they are in /var/log
[13:13] <jercos> Ean: install compiz config settings manager (ccsm) and you can use it to turn on or off individual features.
[13:13] <Dender> so, it goes like this. when i close my laptop i want ubuntu to start the screensaver
[13:13] <Dender> how do i do that?
[13:14] <Ean> jercos, Yeah, I have compiz-config installed. But I can't find a option for thumbs... :P
[13:14] <martintux1> mysql.log?
[13:15] <praet> dremits: it seems that you are creating a driver from the firmware, not modifying the modems
[13:15] <jercos> Ean: it should be there, give me a sec to start up gdm on my intrepid system :P
[13:15] <Ean> jercos, :D
[13:15] <robinpahwa> jercos: Can i use vim to complete my c++ syntaxes ???
[13:15] <martintux1> which file should contain the log of mysql?
[13:15] <ikonia> martintux1 I told you the mysql logs and the syslog in /var/log
[13:16] <dr_willis> bmeynell,  'eye candy causes ocular cavaties;
[13:16] <asdffdsa> Merry Xmas Eve pplz
[13:16] <jercos> robinpahwa: I'm not sure what you mean by that.
[13:16] <asdffdsa>  Brand new laptop, wiped XP, installed Ubuntu 8.10 32bit Desktop... has a strange atheros chipset that the pre-installed madwifi driver does not support...  disabled non-working driver... retrieved "special"/working driver package from madwifi, make install'd pkg.. modprobe ath_pci... and it worked... but every time I reboot I have to type "modprobe ath_pci" to get it to function...
[13:16] <martintux1> they're all plain blank
[13:16] <asdffdsa> The "support for atheros chipset wifi cards" in ubuntu's "hardware drivers" program states the built-in driver is disabled (i have rebooted several times)
[13:16] <bmeynell> dr_willis: haha 'eye candy keeps sanity'
[13:16] <alec> dr_willis: now using samba?
[13:16] <ikonia> martintux1: thee sylog is not blank
[13:17] <dr_willis> alec,  Huh?
[13:17] <asdffdsa> How can I get the new, special madwifi driver working on startup when I have to type modprobe ath_pci everytime to get it to work?
[13:17] <jercos> Ean: hmmm, it's changed a bit since hardy. my solution would be to turn off static application switcher and use application switcher instead, as it has an option to turn off icons.
[13:17] <Ean> asdffdsa, I guess you could add that line in sessions.
[13:18] <asdffdsa> ean : looking for a proper solution
[13:18] <martintux1> but how should i know which line is about mysql?
[13:18] <ikonia> !nickspam> Analysto
[13:18] <asdffdsa> shouldn't have to go to that point?
[13:18] <alec> dr_willis: i have samba. but i have no idea what to do with it, im reading something from a google search right now.
[13:18] <Ean> asdffdsa, Ok. :P
[13:18] <Ean> jercos, Ok, where? Because I can't find any option for that... -.-
[13:18] <martintux1> oh, i see
[13:18] <martintux1> Fatal error: Can't remove the pid file: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
[13:18] <dr_willis> alec,  tell the channel exactly what it is you are wanting to do. :) mounting samba shares via the command line - is documented all over the place..
[13:19] <dr_willis> !samba
[13:19] <jercos> Ean: hrm, never mind, it seem to not actualy disable icons when icons is unchecked. grrrr.
[13:19] <robinpahwa> please tell me is there any way i can complete my C syntaxes using vim ?
[13:20] <Ean> jercos, Yeah, noticed that. THought that that option were to enable just icons :P But it wasn't >.<
[13:20] <RFXCasey> I need some help straightening out my Grub menu
[13:20] <asdffdsa> robinpahwa, get a programmer's editor?
[13:20] <clamiax> jercos: my cable is dv->USB, not 1394
[13:20] <clamiax> -.-
[13:20] <asdffdsa> RFXCasey, best solved for googling "ubuntu grub"
[13:20] <dr_willis> robinpahwa,  vim has 1000000s of such features - i would say - check its docs...
[13:20] <AshTray-> SquirrelMail gives me this error: ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server. Dovecover is installed and runing. If I telnet 143 it's working. I've setup in squirrelmail-configure the IMAP port to 143...
[13:20] <asdffdsa> RFXCasey, you have a good bit of reading to do before attempting to edit your grub
[13:20] <clamiax> jercos: though i'm not able to make it work anyway.
[13:20] <Pici> asdffdsa: Thats not helpful, this is a support channel.
[13:20] <RFXCasey> But I have a specific question
[13:20] <Ean> jercos, The strange thing is that the mini-thumbs are gone when you turn off the visual effects... :P
[13:20] <asdffdsa> Pici, no sense in typing what's already written in a 20 page tutorial
[13:21] <martintux1> ok, i'm done with this thing
[13:21] <asdffdsa> If user *knows* they gotta edit grub, they need to read the whole thing, not have you type it line by line
[13:21] <asdffdsa> Any idea about my madwifi issue?
[13:21] <martintux1> any idea how to completely reinstall mysql?
[13:21] <RFXCasey> I have read it all
[13:21] <ikonia> martintux1: why do you want to re-install
[13:21] <ikonia> martintux1: find the problem
[13:21] <RFXCasey> It's not just a Grub issue
[13:21] <ikonia> martintux1: re-install rarley fixes the problem
[13:22] <martintux1> ikonia, you're right
[13:22] <jercos> Ean: well,
[13:22] <Pici> RFXCasey: Explain the problem and someone may be able to help you.
[13:22] <martintux1> but i can't really find the problem
[13:22] <robinpahwa> asdffdsa: Thanx but i was just giving a try here :) someone might have read one of those syntax i need to customize my vim
[13:22] <ikonia> martintux1: what's int he lgos ?
[13:22] <ikonia> martintux1: what's in the logs sorry
[13:22] <jercos> Ean: I believe selecting none actually switches over to metacity, not compiz.
[13:22] <Pici> robinpahwa: 1) make sure you've installed the vim-full package 2) #vim may be able to help you out further
[13:23] <RFXCasey> I need to know how to identify my partition and translate the sda1 type stuff to the HD0,0 stuff
[13:23] <asdffdsa> robinpahwa, there might be some addon u could use... but I've tried the *numerous* pre-made programming editors and they're *nice*... no sense in seraching so hard to modify vim
[13:23] <Ean> jercos, Oh, didn't think of that at all. :P
[13:23] <martintux1> ikonia,
[13:23] <martintux1> http://pastebin.com/m59a3eeb0
[13:23] <asdffdsa> RFXCasey, There's a tutorial on those... the numbers are called major/minor... I had to learn them about 3 weeks ago for an install... I'll find you a guide... brb
[13:23] <robinpahwa> Pici: I am also looking in #vim there i find :h ft-c-omni
[13:23] <alec> dr_willis: do you know if mount name is going to be the name of the computer, for example HTPC is the name?
[13:24] <robinpahwa> asdffdsa: I find this :h ft-c-omni
[13:24] <RFXCasey> I have several partitions and I am trying to identify the one with the windows boot files
[13:24] <ikonia> martintux1: put the output of "ps -ef | grep mysql" in a pastebin please
[13:24] <RFXCasey> when I installed windows it told me I had to make a partition on disk 1 for the windows boot files but the rest of windows is on disk 2
[13:25] <jercos> Ean: you could try the ring switcher, since it doesn't use thumbnails as such...
[13:25] <asdffdsa> RFXCasey, for windows to boot it has to be installed first, then linux afterwards
[13:25] <termos> hi. i'm running a different WM than gnome but i want gnome-setting-manager to run when i start so i get fonts set correctly. it doesn't seem to work to edit .xinitrc
[13:25] <Ean> jercos, Just one problem -> My ring-switcher does actually use thumbnails... >.<
[13:25] <asdffdsa> RFXCasey, Windows is picky and demands it be the first partition
[13:26] <asdffdsa> RFXCasey, while linux could care less which partition it's on
[13:26] <dr_willis> alec,  monting basics.. the mount POINT is a directory - that can be ANY name you want
[13:26] <martintux1> ikonia, http://pastebin.com/m2db88375
[13:26] <ikonia> martintux1 it's already running
[13:26] <ikonia> martintux1: thats good
[13:27] <jercos> Ean: :-\ well, I mean, it scales the window directly instead of generating a static thumbnail image... but yeah, the best idea is probably just to use metacity when playing WoW...
[13:27] <ikonia> martintux1: so ls -la martintux1
[13:27] <hpd> hello people
[13:27] <RFXCasey> Ok the whole story is I had Ubuntu on the first disk and I installed Windows on the second disk, I then resetup Grub and now I need Grub to tell windows to start
[13:27] <RFXCasey> It is possible to install Windows after Ubuntu
[13:27] <Arodon> I'm having DNS issues: for certain hosts (incl. *.ubuntu.com) wget always fails to resolve the hostname, but ping and dig still work, other hosts (google, yahoo, etc) work fine. What could cause this?
[13:28] <Ean> jercos, Aye, maybe. But thanks for the help anyway then. :) And Merry Christmas!
[13:28] <hpd> Merry C
[13:28] <dr_willis> RFXCasey,  theres a example entry in the menu.lst to boot windows off the first hd.. you may be able to set it to boot the 2nd.. use the bios features to boot the 2nd hd and bypass grub.. or install grub to the windows hd.. and swap them out.. so windows becomes the first hd..
[13:28] <ikonia> Arodon: check /etc/nsswitch.conf
[13:28] <asdffdsa> RFXCasey, sure, you can install, but good luck getting it to boot
[13:28] <dr_willis> RFXCasey,   Its very possible.. it alsy pays to understand how machines boot and grub works.. not too hard. if you learn  grub :)
[13:28] <asdffdsa> just as linux knows if the hd is primary or secondary, master or slave
[13:28] <asdffdsa> so does windows
[13:29] <dr_willis> The use of the UUID information in the ubuntu grub/fstab - makes ubuntu  more smarter about  when hds move around
[13:29] <asdffdsa> had many windows installs not boot from anything but primary master
[13:29] <RFXCasey> I think all I have to do at this point is tell Grub the correct partition containing the windows boot.ini
[13:29] <Acedip> how can i generate a cpu temerature log file with temperature entries in time lapes.. ??
[13:29] <Arodon> ikonia: I messed with stuff in that file earlier based on some google hits, but it qdidn't seem to make any difference. fwiw nslookup handles the *.ubuntu.com hosts just fine also
[13:30] <asdffdsa> RFXCasey, you don't need the root=hd(x,x) thing in the grub for windows, only for linux
[13:30] <ikonia> Arodon can you poaste it
[13:30] <ikonia> Arodon: nslookup is FORCED to use dns
[13:30] <ikonia> Arodon: can you pastebin your resolv.conf please
[13:30] <martintux1> ikonia, http://pastebin.com/d11bf8776
[13:30] <asdffdsa> RFXCasey, you can use /dev/blah in the grub for windows...
[13:30] <RFXCasey> tell me how
[13:30] <RFXCasey> what do you mean Blah
[13:30] <ikonia> martintux1 what command was that
[13:31] <bakarat_> i'm trying to use davfs2 to mount a webdav source, but i get this error:  Transport endpoint is not connected
[13:31] <martintux1> ikonia, ls -la
[13:31] <ikonia> martintux1: I meant ls -al /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock sorry
[13:31] <meermanr> How do I find what version of X I have installed and running? /var/log/xorg.0.log says the X server is 1.5.2, aptitude says 7.4 and nvidia's readme talks of X11R6.9.0 ...
[13:32] <martintux1> np, 1 sec
[13:32] <dr_willis> meermanr,  try X -version or X --version perhaps
[13:32] <meermanr> O, and X --version doesn't show anything helpful
[13:32] <martintux1> ls -al /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock :kionia
[13:32] <dr_willis> it may be 1 dash
[13:32] <meermanr> Ah, hold on.
[13:32] <Arodon> ikonia: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m49776096
[13:32] <ushimitsudoki> meermanr: head /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[13:32] <dr_willis> x dosent follow the --  vs - standards
[13:33] <termos> why doesn't ~/.xinitrc run when i start X
[13:33] <meermanr> dr_willis: Yes, it is. But it still seems way out from all other references
[13:33] <asdffdsa> RFXCasey, Read tutorials on GRUB : http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub.html
[13:33] <dr_willis> termos,  you mean when you use the 'startx' command? or login via gdm?
[13:33] <ikonia> Arodon try changing hosts to just "dns" see what it does
[13:33] <termos> dr_willis: login via gdm
[13:33] <meermanr> 1.5.2, is that new? I ask because the nVidia readme refers to 6.9.0 and newer, so it seems like a different numbering scheme entirely..
[13:33] <martintux1> ikonia, ls: cannot access /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock: No such file or directory
[13:34] <ikonia> martintux1 kerrking we have a winner
[13:34] <dr_willis> termos,  because gdm dosent use .xinitrc i think there may be a special gdm session that uses .xinitrc or .Xsession or was it .xsession  if you want a custome X session...
[13:34] <martintux1> eh?
[13:34] <ikonia> martintux1: first "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop" - then "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start" see if it re-creates that file
[13:34] <Arodon> ikonia: same thing. ping works, but wget fails to resolve archive.ubuntu.com
[13:35] <dr_willis> termos,  if you select gnome or other  desktiop in gdm.. .xinitrc is ignored. :) it uses the gnome.desktop  data to pick what to run
[13:35] <martintux1> damn, same thing.... start fail
[13:35] <asdffdsa>  Brand new laptop, wiped XP, installed Ubuntu 8.10 32bit Desktop... has a strange atheros chipset that the pre-installed madwifi driver does not support...  disabled non-working driver... retrieved "special"/working driver package from madwifi, make install'd pkg.. modprobe ath_pci... and it worked... but every time I reboot I have to type "modprobe ath_pci" to get it to function...
[13:35] <asdffdsa> The "support for atheros chipset wifi cards" in ubuntu's "hardware drivers" program states the built-in driver is disabled (i have rebooted several times)... how can I get the special madwifi working automatically?
[13:35] <ikonia> martintux1 is the start fail message the same?
[13:35] <RFXCasey> ok I have a partition just for the windows boot files on the first HD and the rest on windows is on the 2nd. Windows had me do this during install cause it detected Ubuntu was already installed.
[13:36] <martintux1>  * Starting MySQL database server mysqld                       [fail]
[13:36] <termos> dr_willis: ah okey thanks, i'm not running gnome. is there some gdm files that run whenever i start a wm?
[13:36] <ikonia> Arodon: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:36] <nibbler_> asdffdsa: put it into /etc/modules
[13:36] <ikonia> martintux1 check the logs - is it the same3
[13:36] <RFXCasey> I reinstalled Grub to the first hard drive again to the MBR
[13:36] <ikonia> martintux1 check the logs - is it the same
[13:36] <asdffdsa> nibbler_ : put what?  how?
[13:36] <dr_willis> termos,  each gdm session entry has its own matching whatever.desktop file that defines what gets ran
[13:36] <nibbler_> asdffdsa: echo ath_pci >> /etc/modules
[13:37] <asdffdsa> nibbler_ : ty, merry xmas :)
[13:37] <Arodon> ikonia: yes. ping seems to be working fine for everything
[13:37] <martintux1> ikonia, it's the same
[13:37] <dr_willis> termos,  if you see IceWM in the gdm menus. then thers some icewm.desktop file - that gdm is reading
[13:37] <nibbler_> asdffdsa: thanks, good luck
[13:37] <ikonia> martintux1 ok, then it looks like it didn't shut down properly
[13:37] <ikonia> martintux1: can you please show me the current output of "ps -ef | grep mysql"
[13:37] <martintux1> sure
[13:38] <ikonia> Arodon: what is the exact command your using
[13:38] <RFXCasey> Ubuntu boots fine now but it acts like it can't find the WIndows boot files, I think I've only got to identify the proper name to use (hd?,?)
[13:38] <OchenZloy> hello, is there any pro of router configuration under windows xp ? ;[
[13:38] <asdffdsa> nibbler : actually, the pc in question is completely frozen atm for some unknown reason... can't move mouse, can't ctrl+alt+f1, can't do sh*t... gonna have to force shut down on it
[13:38] <martintux1> ikonia, http://pastebin.com/m28927c49
[13:38] <OchenZloy> I've DI-524 D-Link router, and only my friend can't connect to me... all other people, can... and i am already the 3rd day searching for the solution, still can't find. so here i am to ask you about this...
[13:39] <Andr00> d-link HAHAHAHA what a joke
[13:39] <nibbler_> OchenZloy: you are all connected to the same router (switch in this case?) and he cant ping you?
[13:39] <RFXCasey> hey what did you mean by /dev/blah
[13:39] <OchenZloy> ping can
[13:39] <OchenZloy> but can't connect
[13:39] <asdffdsa> by /dev/blah I meant, read the entire tutorial
[13:39] <OchenZloy> to any port
[13:39] <nibbler_> OchenZloy: then routing works. wtf is "connecting"
[13:39] <termos> dr_willis: ah thanks found them, ill give it a try
[13:39] <OchenZloy> all tested.. web/vnc/r-admin no.. can't tcp/udb connect at all
[13:40] <nibbler_> OchenZloy: sounds more like a firewall issue then
[13:40] <OchenZloy> but can ping because ping don't use tcp/udp ports
[13:40] <asdffdsa> RFXCasey, again, it's --> http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub.html
[13:40] <ikonia> martintux1: "sudo kill -9 5071 5113 5114 14070 14111 14112 14252 14293 14295 15382"
[13:40] <OchenZloy> the firewall don't have his ip blocked
[13:40] <OchenZloy> all checked
[13:40] <asdffdsa> RFXCasey, by the time you finish reading that, I guarantee you will not longer have any questions.
[13:40] <nibbler_> OchenZloy: then use a real OS. but stop searching at your routing
[13:40] <Arodon> ikonia: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/mc8eeade
[13:40] <OchenZloy> i swithed off the firewall in windows
[13:40] <martintux1> ikonia, killed it.. should i restart it?
[13:41] <OchenZloy> and the windows is clear(just after formatting)
[13:41] <ehama> I think I have messed up with the graphics. Now I have 800x600 resolution on my notebook while I can have 1024x768. Any way to make all default? I don't even want 3d acceleration.
[13:41] <ikonia> Arodon I meant the wget command, the exact command
[13:41] <martintux1> forgot to mention it... basically i wanted to reset mysql root password
[13:41] <ikonia> martintux1: do a "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop" it should "fail
[13:41] <Pe3k> hello, does anybody use pyvnc2swf? I can't use it ... when I start tightvncserver and use xtightvncviewer localhost:1 there is not possible to start anything...it is window 1027x768 filled with gray color
[13:41] <purplerain> hello

[13:42] <Andy_> Hi, I used xubuntu and liked it, its way faster then windows and i love it, but i am not able to play sound on it and after searching for a long time I came to the solution that its not supported on my laptop, so now I want to completely remove xubuntu with its config files and all, I want no back or anything..just like a format..any idea how to do it?
[13:42] <nibbler_> OchenZloy: and the ports are reachable from other hosts? then tcpdump/ngrep/wireshark on both hosts and see what happens
[13:42] <ikonia> Arodon strace wget http//www.ubuntu.com
[13:42] <OchenZloy> i said, that this is windows xp no *nix :)
[13:42] <ikonia> Arodon: with the :
[13:42] <OchenZloy> yes
[13:42] <nibbler_> Andy_: whatever OS you plan installing will you assist on that
[13:42] <OchenZloy> any other can connect to me
[13:42] <OchenZloy> EVERYONE
[13:42] <OchenZloy> except the friend...
[13:42] <FloodBot3> OchenZloy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:42] <nibbler_> OchenZloy: so tcpdump/wireshark it
[13:42] <Andy_> nibbler_: uh..i already have winXP installed
[13:42] <OchenZloy> i didn't found the blacklist  on the router
[13:43] <nibbler_> Andy_: good then
[13:43] <nibbler_> OchenZloy: blacklist on the router?
[13:43] <martintux1> ikonia, thanks
[13:43] <OchenZloy> yes, i though it is...
[13:43] <OchenZloy> because only 1 ip can't connect to me
[13:43] <martintux1> but do u know how to reset mysql root password?
[13:43] <nibbler_> ...
[13:43] <ikonia> martintux1 working ?
[13:43] <Arodon> ikonia: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d15524141
[13:43] <ikonia> martintux1 the guys in #mysql will walk you through that
[13:43] <Quetschke> hi, is there any browser (beside firefox) that is able to use a third-party download-manager and supports separate proxy settings?
[13:43] <Andy_> nibbler_, but i want to remove xubuntu...and if atall i delete the aprtition i am sure the "Select OS" option will stay there forever, any way of UN installing it completely without problems?
[13:44] <martintux1> ikonia, thanks a bunch
[13:44] <ikonia> martintux1 no problem
[13:44] <OchenZloy> nibbler_ i'm confused, i already looked forward any settings, wherever i've added his ip to unblock, but no success, he still can't connect
[13:44] <nibbler_> andy_ ah the XP was there before?
[13:44] <Pe3k> Is needed to do some configuration when I use fluxbox and want to use vnc server ?
[13:44] <Andy_> nibbler_, yeah
[13:45] <nibbler_> andy_: then no way to get rid off grub i assume, maybe with bootfix etc of the xp cd, but thats not an linux issue anymore
[13:45] <Henti> hello :D
[13:45] <zhaozhou> Marry christmas : D
[13:45] <asdffdsa> that worked... thx nibbler.
[13:45] <Gr33n3gg> Its not Ymas, you insensitive clod!
[13:46] <ikonia> Arodon: can you show me if "ps -ef | grep nscd " shows any results ?
[13:46] <Henti> :D thz zhaozhou
[13:46] <Andy_> nibbler_, oh..WHAT!? i mean..like if i format the drives?Like..I mean i make them visble in XP right click and do the format or delete them...xubuntu will be gone right? but the "select OS"option at startup will that also remove xubuntu kernel select thingy?
[13:46] <mamilie> bonjour tout le monde
[13:46] <zhaozhou> :D
[13:46] <asdffdsa> one more question, nibbler... how to blacklist the pre-installed madwifi driver from updating itself and overwrting my custom settings
[13:46] <nibbler_> Andy_: removing the bootloader might end you up not being able to boot your xp
[13:46] <ehama> What should I do to use generic video driver? I'm having 800x600 resolution and want 1024x768. I couldn't install ati drivers for my mobility radeon9000.
[13:47] <Arodon> ikonia: no, it only lists the "grep nscd" process
[13:47] <nibbler_> Andy_: it all depends a lot on your configuration
[13:47] <ikonia> Arodon ok, so thats fine
[13:47] <asdffdsa> ehama : Try a program called "envy"
[13:47] <Andy_> nibbler_, just tell me what will happen if I just delete the partitions from the disk manager?
[13:47] <shahrooz> hi guys
[13:47] <ubuntunube> Hi, I'm having problems with my USB WLAN stick and 8.10.  wfconfig recognises the stick, and I can even ping ip's and DNS through it, but network manager won't recognise it.  Any ideas anybody?
[13:47] <ehama> asdffdsa, I tried. but didn't help. Thats when I got configuration issues and was set back to low resolution.
[13:47] <OchenZloy> any help to me ? or tell me, where shell i ask about router configuration ?
[13:47] <keystr0k> I'm looking for a way to burn a .img dvd backup. any suggestions?
[13:48] <bakarat_> i have webdav working in nautilus and it works great....unless the folder name has a space in it, how can i open a directory that has a space in its name?
[13:48] <nibbler_> Andy_: if this hosts any files needed by grub, maybe even only menu.list it might render your system useless if you dont know how to fix it
[13:48] <shahrooz> if i add a source url to source.list , i can use directly of the packages are in there ?
[13:48] <asdffdsa> ehama : I hear ya... I've got one laptop here with Radeon Xpress that freezes at random (one I'm using now) and is currently unresolved, using ATi driver w/fusion enabled
[13:48] <Andy_> nibble_, what did the first part of yoru sentence mean?
[13:48] <ikonia> Arodon: can you run a test with me please
[13:49] <shahrooz> hello ?
[13:49] <Andy_> nibbler_, XP and xubuntu are completely in different drive and i guess no way connected..
[13:49] <Henti> hello
[13:49] <ehama> asdffdsa, my card is a bit older. so I think I can't use binary drivers. I read the suggestion of using mesa drivers but don't know if it will help.
[13:49] <nibbler_> Andy_: if you are right about no connection, then its save to delete it.
[13:49] <shahrooz> somy body help please !
[13:49] <Arodon> ikonia: yea sure

[13:51] <Andy_> nibbler_, if ..it does show the select OS option..I AM DOOMED right? no way to ensure that it wont show up?
[13:51] <Arodon> ikonia: it prints out the "Server" and "Address" lines with the dns server we specified, then it gives the "Non-authoritative answer" with an address if <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:51] <shahrooz> ubottu: it's really a robot ! any body know my answer ?
[13:51] <ikonia> Arodon: ok, so your router is acting as a dns forwarder and working correctly, needed to establish that

[14:00] <AshTray-> OchenZloy connect to you wireless or wired ?
[14:00] <keystr0k> allsystemsarego, I definitely don't have a 'write to disc' option for that file.
[14:00] <OchenZloy> wired

[14:00] <OchenZloy> Jack_Sparrow.... all people can connect to me
[14:00] <OchenZloy> only 1 person cannot
[14:00] <AshTray-> OchenZloy does he selected dhcp on his box ?
[14:00] <Arodon> ikonia: quite. I spent a while in the wiki looking for clues, but found nothing to explain the different behavior between programs (*.ubuntu.com works fine in firefox also) I temporarily added an address for archive.ubuntu.com in /etc/hosts to carry out updates

[14:01] <JulioNeto> morning
[14:01] <keystr0k> fde, yes, thank you .
[14:02] <Vinceman> moza, what's are the differences between lossy and lossless sound recording?
[14:02] <AshTray-> Did you forwared apache corectly ?
[14:02] <Jack_Sparrow> OchenZloy if he can without your router in place and he cant withit in place. you only have one place to look
[14:02] <fde> Vinceman: Exactly as it sounds... lossy loses quality every time you copy it, lossless doesn't.
[14:02] <EADG> AshTray-: I get niether. Your doing it wrong. type   man telnet
[14:02] <keystr0k> fde, .img wasn't recognized as a valid image file type in Brasero... I chose the file anyway. We'll see what happens.
[14:03] <OchenZloy> Jack_Sparrow
[14:03] <OchenZloy> he can connect if i am not behind the router

[14:03] <Gr33n3gg> OchenZloy: Perhaps your computer is using too much of the bandwidth?
[14:03] <termos> fde: sure
[14:03] <Mageiriki-me-bas> i try to install a usb router (Zyxel p 630 s1) but my Ubuntu 8.10 doesnt seem to recognise it. And i can't find any drivers on the net.

[14:04] <EADG> termos: iwlist
[14:04] <Gr33n3gg> Whoops, wrong window.
[14:04] <debaser> hi
[14:04] <Vinceman> fde what's the advantage of lossy then?
[14:04] <fde> Vinceman: lower file sizes
[14:04] <Vinceman> much lower?
[14:05] <epifanio> from here : http://www.mactel-linux.org/wiki/HOWTO#Boot_Ubuntu_from_external_USB_drive_on_MacBook it explain a generic procedure (unluky there arne't detailed information)
[14:05] <epifanio> my situation is : i had until yestarday an internaldrive (160gb) on it i had osx(leopard)+ubuntu(8.10), now changed the internal hard drive using a new 320gb ... and i put the old drive in a usb 2.5 external box
[14:05] <debaser> is there a way to create a ubuntu live cd with the programs one chooses? Something just like the ubuntu live cd (which can be installed) but only with the things you choose...
[14:05] <fde> termos: I can't think of the tools name I'm thinking of... ugh... sorry
[14:05] <OchenZloy> all ports are forwarding correctly
[14:05] <Vinceman> could it be that you here interference when you record lossy?
[14:05] <fde> Vinceman: generally, yes
[14:05] <mwas> Vinceman: lowering the size some times loses information
[14:06] <Guest23981> How can I boot with only console from an Ubuntu LiveCD?
[14:06] <fde> Vinceman: No, it wouldn't result in interference, it would just be lower quality

[14:16] <Guest23981> I googled, but can't find the solution. How can I boot to command line from an Ubuntu LiveCD?
[14:16] <fde> tiyowan: not really, its currently in alpha, so that isn't entirely the truth
[14:17] <tiyowan> fde: I stand corrected. :)
[14:17] <ardchoille> kebomix: that menubar in the panel is GlobalMenu, the dock at the bottom is avant window navigator, and the gtk theme and icons are Mac4Lin
[14:17] <ardchoille> kebomix: may I pm you with some url's?
[14:17] <ardchoille> I'm not sure if it's ot here
[14:17] <saler> Guest2398,edit the command line from boot list menu and at the end of the line type single 1 and prees b
[14:18] <Guest23981> saler: Thanks a lot
[14:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Guest23981 Please tell us what you are tring to do so we can suggest the easiest way for you to do it

[14:19] <RoyK> hi. having upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 on this old laptop, I try to install some packages, but it seems there are broken dependencies around. how can I fix this? See http://pastebin.com/ddc859a3 for more info
[14:20] <tiyowan> EADG: I don't think so. But maybe you could pipe together two commands to get the desired results. :)
[14:20] <Jack_Sparrow> RoyK Sounds like you added unsupported repos to your sources.list..
[14:21] <EADG> tiyowan: I'll make an alias _if_ i can figure that out.
[14:21] <tiyowan> EADG: I'll look into it, too.
[14:21] <EADG> tiyowan: Sweet.
[14:22] <Am3ndment> Hello, i have problems with games. Earlier i was on 7.10, and every game worked just fine. Now im on 8.10 and i cant play anything because i have something like 1 frame / sec.
[14:22] <Am3ndment> I have intel 945GM :/
[14:22] <Mallen> Anyone no of a good File encryption (word files, pics,) for ubuntu
[14:23] <erUSUL> !gpg | Mallen
[14:23] <Zzeiss> Am3ndment: Well, I would still check the drivers....
[14:23] <RoyK> Jack_Sparrow: http://pastebin.ca/1293002
[14:23] <Zzeiss> Am3ndment:  what driver are you loading in /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[14:24] <Mallen> Thank You!
[14:25] <Am3ndment> Zzeiss: xorg.conf says that i have no driver installed
[14:25] <Am3ndment> yet i just installed i810
[14:25] <tiyowan> EADG: Hmm...difficult problem this.
[14:26] <EADG> tiyowan: Aye. it is.
[14:26] <Zzeiss> Am3ndment: OK, look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log.  See what driver you've got.  My bet is you have the VESA driver loaded, not "intel".
[14:26] <tiyowan> EADG: Just out of curiosity. Why do you want it that way? As in what data do you want to view?
[14:27] <Zzeiss> Am3ndment: The older Ubuntus let you pick the driver; 8.10 does not seem to.  What you want is probably the "intel" driver.  That's what I used to play Portal.  :)
[14:27] <Jack_Sparrow> RoyK Looks like some serious editing has gone on in there.  If you compile something yourself and add sources and install things it can often trash your dependencies... Which is what it seems to have done with your system
[14:28] <Zzeiss> Am3ndment: But I did note that if I didn't load the intel driver, I got nowhere.
[14:28] <Jack_Sparrow> RoyK you can sudo apt-get update but I doubt it will fix things
[14:28] <EADG> tiyowan: Superfilus & extenoius data I wish to filter out from my constant ls -l 's.
[14:29] <tiyowan> EADG: ls -a?
[14:29] <EADG> tiyowan: time stamps take up too much space.... 13 characters
[14:29] <sisif> Hello guys.  For some strange reason , I just can`t get it to work. I`ve read just about everything related to it from ubuntuforums.org. I`m using 8.10 with the latest updates. Thanks
[14:30] <Am3ndment> Zzeiss: hmh... cant find it.
[14:30] <keystr0k> fde, Thanks, the wodim --data xyz.img command worked to burn my .img file.
[14:30] <Am3ndment> How to fix?
[14:30] <Zzeiss> Can't find the log?
[14:30] <Am3ndment> i mean i cant find what driver it loads
[14:30] <Zzeiss> Am3ndment: OK, can you pastebin the /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
[14:31] <EADG> ti I like permissions, owner group & size. Just don't want date on the list.

[14:33] <Jack_Sparrow> RoyK did you also update through 8.04?
[14:33] <Zzeiss> joejc: try "glxgears", and see what the frame rate is back.
[14:34] <tiyowan> Am3ndment: Checking...yep, xorg won't configure it properly. Hang on.
[14:34] <RoyK> Jack_Sparrow: I only updated to 8.04 because of LTS

[14:34] <Mageiriki-me-bas> hi.
[14:34] <RoyK> 8.04
[14:34] <kdogg> Ok guys , i back with a new version of an old problem :) Last night I install ubuntu Intrepid on an hp a1010n, after rebooting and logging in, the screen went blank and the mouse was still there and moving but no other signs of life. (NumLock), SO today I tried to put the livecd in, (the one I used before to install), and it did the same thing. Windows seems to work fine though.. (rarely the case)
[14:34] <debaser> is there a way to create a ubuntu live cd with the programs one chooses? Something just like the ubuntu live cd (which can be installed) but only with the things you choose...
[14:35] <Zzeiss> Am3ndment: Nope, you have the "intel" driver loaded.  (see line 127 of your pastebin).  So... that's not it.  Hmmm.
[14:35] <joejc> zzeiss: 0.0, whats that mean?
[14:35] <joaopinto> !remaster
[14:35] <Jeruvy> debaser: see the alternate cd
[14:35] <kdogg> debaser, yes reconstructor but it is young
[14:35] <Mageiriki-me-bas> there's a problem here. I type "sudo ./scanmodem" in my terminal (in Ubuntu 8.10) and it asks for a password but I CANNOT WRITE ANY PASSWORDS.
[14:35] <Zzeiss> Am3ndment: try glxgears.  See what the frame rate is.
[14:35] <RoyK> arimakun: #ubuntu-es
[14:35] <kdogg> oh
[14:35] <Vinceman> lossy vs. lossles is a 1:10 factor difference in file size!!!
[14:35] <debaser> kdogg: thx
[14:35] <Jack_Sparrow> RoyK upgrading is when those things you added from outside supported repos will cause issues..  We dont have help for that situation
[14:35] <RoyK> Mageiriki-me-bas: 8.04 - any ideas how to fix it? I really on't want to reinstall from scratch
[14:35] <Pici> Mageiriki-me-bas: Why can't you write the password?
[14:36] <Zzeiss> Am3ndment, joejc: you have to let "glxgears: run for a while.  Ten or fifteen seconds at least.  Then it reports back a frame rate.
[14:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Mageiriki-me-bas you type but it does not show.. that is normal
[14:36] <RoyK> Jack_Sparrow: what is external repos in those?
[14:36] <miik> those assholes at Novell decided to put an EULA on openSUSE, i hope not Ubuntu does same
[14:36] <RoyK> Jack_Sparrow: s/is/are/
[14:36] <Mageiriki-me-bas> Jack, is it?

[14:36] <Zzeiss> Am3ndment: OK, 222 is pretty darn soggy.
[14:37] <Jack_Sparrow> RoyK just resetting your repo list and updating will not fix what was done earlier manually
[14:37] <Fenix|work> How does one exclude socket files from the 'tar' command?
[14:37] <miik> sry
[14:37] <RoyK> Jack_Sparrow: nope. this laptop was installed a year ago, and has been used by my mom. she doesn't know how to do that sort of thing
[14:37] <miik> ubuntu should adopt the DFSG
[14:37] <Zzeiss> Am3ndment: I get 250-275 frames/second with pure software rendering.  So, something is still quite wrong....
[14:37] <cdavis> how do I make sure dovecot starts at system boot?
[14:37] <guja_nebeska> Can someone tell me which is deb http:// for wxWidgets repo on Ubuntu 8.10? Thank You!
[14:37] <joejc> zzeiss: it only takes a second here eveything http://paste.ubuntu.com/92226/
[14:38] <Am3ndment> How can i change that it loads that intel driver?
[14:38] <RoyK> Jack_Sparrow: beleive me - there's nothing that's been there and taken away
[14:38] <Mageiriki-me-bas> oh! i see.. thanks!
[14:38] <joaopinto> miik, could you please stop here ? Do you have a support question ?
[14:38] <Jack_Sparrow> RoyK pastebin the full output of errors, but something is up...
[14:38] <rutski_> Is it possible to get the uncompiled sources to the files in /usr/share/terminfo?
[14:38] <RoyK> Jack_Sparrow: I just did
[14:38] <RoyK> Jack_Sparrow: first time I posted that
[14:38] <Zzeiss> If I recall correctly, the general rule is that software rendering will give you 500 or less on glxgears, and hardware will give you 2000 or more.
[14:38] <Slart> miik: I think there are a lot of flash users that don't quite agree with you.. but it's !ot for this channel
[14:39] <Zzeiss> joejc: Hmmm...you definitely don't have things set up right.  Way not right.
[14:39] <joaopinto> rutski_, I guess those are included on the source of the ncurses-base package
[14:39] <Fenix|work> guja_nebeska, Google says... apt.wxwidgets.com..... go here: http://www.google.ca/search?q=deb+repo+wxwidgets
[14:39] <Zzeiss> joejc: does X even _start_?
[14:39] <joejc> zzeiss, i think so
[14:39] <Fenix|work> err apt.wxwidgets.org
[14:40] <guja_nebeska> Fenix|work, thank You!
[14:40] <Jack_Sparrow> RoyK Looks like someone installed a printer driver manually to me
[14:40] <Jack_Sparrow> RoyK what type of printer is she using
[14:40] <Zzeiss> joejc: do you get multiple windows, and menu bars top and bottom?
[14:40] <sisif> Hello guys.  For some strange reason , I just can`t get it to work. I`ve read just about everything related to it from ubuntuforums.org. I`m using 8.10 with the latest updates. Thanks

[14:40] <joejc> yes
[14:40] <papa_> is there any way to configure a Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics ?
[14:41] <Jeruvy> sisif: can you reask with info about what you did and what is erroring?
[14:41] <Jack_Sparrow> RoyK I read that wrong..

[14:41] <joejc> Zzeiss: i lost compiz when i upgraded, yesterday i was in here and somone else tried to help me but said they couldnt
[14:41] <Fenix|work> papa_, configure it to do what?
[14:41] <RoyK> Jack_Sparrow: printer???
[14:41] <Jack_Sparrow> RoyK I read that wrong..
[14:41] <Pici> rutski_: apt-get source packagename   where packagename is one of the packages that provides files for that directory.  Its mostly ncurses-term
[14:41] <RoyK> Jack_Sparrow: afaik no printer is installed

[14:42] <epifanio> guys, have you any clue on how to boot my old os (ubuntu-8.10) installed on a external usb drive? googling give me : http://www.mactel-linux.org/wiki/HOWTO#Boot_Ubuntu_from_external_USB_drive_on_MacBook .  i already have on the internal drive : leopard+refit  on the external-drive(the old internal) leopard+ubuntu+refit ... so can i switch to step 5 directly ?
[14:42] <Amendment> So, what can i do?
[14:42] <guja_nebeska> Fenix|work, I know that. :o) But problem was this: this search u gave me says also this: deb http://apt.wxwidgets.org/ DIST-wx main, so add that to repo. I change DIST with intrepid, and when I do sudo apt-get update, it says it can't get tar.gz from that http.
[14:42] <EADG> Fenix|work: I got mine to make cinninon toast :)
[14:42] <Jack_Sparrow> RoyK looks more like power saving/stepping  not sure what al that broken file covers
[14:42] <sisif> Jeruvy: i put the firmware to /lib/firmware, then I install compat-wireless. I can see my wifi card in ifconfig an iwconfig, but iwlist scanning don`t get me any AP (and i have one just at my feet).
[14:42] <Zzeiss> joejc: hmmm... yeah.  That would happen if you don't have a hw graphics card.  For some (annoying and not justified IMHO opinion) it seems that compiz is not willing to use software rendering, and goes _outside_ of the standard OpenGL libraries to do it's magic.
[14:43] <papa_> Fenix|work: is the graphic card... i can't change the resolution and refresh rate...
[14:43] <Jeruvy> epifanio: I know there were bugs logged when 8.10 was released but I do not know there status.  Try searching on launchpad.net
[14:43] <joejc> hw?
[14:43] <Jack_Sparrow> !aptfix > RoyK
[14:43] <Zzeiss> joejc: yes, I've asked the compiz people to fix this, for those of us who do not have a supported graphics card.  Like me.  :(
[14:43] <Fenix|work> guja_nebeska, I believe in *BIG RED* letters on that page it says to <quote>Replace the "DIST" text with whatever is appropriate for your system. (See the table below for a list of supported distributions and architectures.)</quote>
[14:43] <RoyK> Jack_Sparrow: I've tried that
[14:44] <joejc> Zzeiss: it worked in hardy
[14:44] <Mageiriki-me-bas> I have this shell executable script which is /home/user/scanModem.2008110606 and i want to install this thing. What should i do?
[14:44] <RoyK> Jack_Sparrow: never mind - I found a workaround. I really don't want to reinstall this
[14:44] <sisif> Jeruvy: I`m not sure what si the correct module for my wifi card. I got the firmware from http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/
[14:44] <EADG> Night all.
[14:44] <guja_nebeska> Fenix|work, oh. Does that mean I can't get this wxWidgets on 8.10?
[14:44] <lawrence_> hello
[14:44] <Fenix|work> EADG__, Niiiice!  Cinnamon Toast
[14:44] <Jeruvy> sisif: did you confirm the card on ubuntuhcl.org?
[14:44] <Zzeiss> joejc: yes, same for me.  And in 8.04.  But i don't know how to fix it.
[14:45] <zhao> en
[14:45] <Fenix|work> guja_nebeska, it appears not... you 'could' try replacing DIST-wx with intrepid-wx and see what happens

[14:46] <sisif> Jeruvy: what do you mean by "confirm" ?
[14:46] <tiyowan> Is there a channel for people wanting to contribute programming assistance to ubuntu? As in wanting to work on open source?
[14:46] <Jeruvy> sisif: is it a confirmed working hardware for ubuntu?
[14:46] <guja_nebeska> Fenix|work, did that. Here's what happens. W: Failed to fetch http://apt.wxwidgets.org/dists/intrepid-wx/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  404 Not Found

[14:46] <sisif> Jeruvy: let me ckeck
[14:47] <quizme_> tiyowan: get rubygems to install properly
[14:47] <Fenix|work> guja_nebeska, then it doesn't exist...
[14:47] <Fenix|work> the hardy stuff might
[14:47] <Melanchol> raur...
[14:48] <Melanchol> Hmm, im going back to 7.10 :D
[14:48] <tiyowan> Thank you very much. :)
[14:48] <guja_nebeska> Fenix|work, yeah, seems like that. I'll try hardy maybe. Who knows, maybe it will work. :o) Thank You for Your time.
[14:48] <joejc> Zzeiss: when you upgraded did u get errors at start up?
[14:48] <Zzeiss> joejc: no, it just went directly into X.

[14:49] <captainm> Mageiriki-me-bas: sudo chmod +x [scriptname] && ./[scriptname]
[14:50] <joejc> Zzeiss:  think it'll work in jaunty?
[14:51] <sisif> Jeruvy: But for other users the card seem to work. So I guess this is a software related problem
[14:52] <Kartagis> nibbler_, what file do I have to edit?
[14:52] <Zzeiss> joejc: no idea.
[14:53] <robwilkerson> so...easy question that i've just never had reason to ask...
[14:53] <robwilkerson> how can i see how much memory is in my machine?
[14:53] <robwilkerson> i just upgraded and want to be sure ubuntu is picking it up properly.
[14:53] <Fenix|work> guja_nebeska, you're welcome
[14:54] <nibbler_> Kartagis: no idea. but this is the authentication system, called pam. read a bit about it and tell me which file you had to edit
[14:54] <joejc> i use sysinfo to see thins like that
[14:54] <Zzeiss> robwilkerson: do a sysinfo.  Or cat /proc/meminfo

[14:57] <joejc> how important is swap?
[14:57] <xnv> Is there something good for a simple reminders on the desktop?
[14:57] <Agent_Ubuntu> ok, thanks
[14:58] <Tetracomm> What is the environment variable for the selected file in Nautilus?
[14:58] <Zzeiss> Melanchol: with respect to what?  (sorry, got distracted)
[14:58] <adrian0071> !coc
[14:59] <Melanchol> Zzeiss, that intel driver and games :)
[14:59] <sisif> Jeruvy: Any suggestions on what to do next ?
[14:59] <captainm> joejc: you'll need swap to suspend, and you'll run into problems if you run out of ram
[14:59] <fde> xnv: In Gnome, it should tell you about events from you calendar automatically via Evolution Alarm Clock... In KDE, there is also KOrganizer that will do something similar
[15:00] <oma-opa> hi im using f-spot <IP_ADDRESS> on hardy to import movies and pictures from my camera, but f-spot sorts them by the day they have been taken, into a folder I can choose, what can I do to import all these files to a place without sorting?
[15:00] <Zzeiss> Melanchol: beyond installing it manually, and adding a line like     Driver "intel"     into the xorg.conf file device section, no.
[15:00] <Melanchol> Ok, thanks :)
[15:00] <captainm> joejc: but I don't have use swap with my eeepc and it works fine
[15:01] <rutski_> `man terminfo` uses a lot of escape sequences with the character '[', such as '\E[H\E[2J', I know the '\E' are ESC keys, but what are '[H' and '[2J'?
[15:01] <xnv> fde: Is the Alarm Clock independent of the e-mail client? I don't want to use that e-mail client.
[15:01] <joejc> captanm: would swap make my computer faster if i already have 2gb of ram?
[15:02] <fde> xnv: no its not
[15:02] <xnv> fde: Then it doesn't quite fit my needs.
[15:02] <bullgard4> There is a file /etc/mailcap. What does 'cap' stand for in it?
[15:02] <fde> xnv: I think something like tasque has notifications of events though, perhaps try that?
[15:03] <captainm> joejc: no, it wont make your computer faster, if you have the diskspace I'd use a swap partition.
[15:03] <rjune__> banshee?
[15:03] <loca|host> by default, ubuntu attach a BASH process to my /dev/ttyS0 (serial device), i need to change this behaviour and attach my own application to that device so when i connect via serial port, i get the output of my app and not a BASH session
[15:03] <fde> !who > rjune__
[15:03] <sheep> bullgard4: according to man mailcap, it's the metaMAIL CAPabilities file

[15:31] <bazhang> crow_, its not needed
[15:31] <crow_> bazhang, isn't that same as running as root all the time?
[15:31] <bazhang> crow_, no. sudo has a time limit

[15:36] <tiyowan> BCM43: Odd. I always had to install PDF creator over there. Thanks for the info.
[15:36] <crow_> www.ubuntuguide.org crashes Xorg when visited with firefox on gentoo. I'm not sure about other *nixes, but with gentoo/firefox it crashes X.
[15:37] <bazhang> crow_, ask in #gentoo
[15:37] <joaopinto> crow_, that is not a webmaster issue, it's an applicaton issue
[15:38] <crow_> bazhang, I already discussed on #gentoo about that, and more ppl checked it, and it crashes the X. I just need a way to contact the webmaster
[15:38] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot > crow_
[15:38] <crow_> ok
[15:38] <bazhang> crow_, it has nothing to do with ubuntu support
[15:38] <joaopinto> crow_, such bug did exist on ubuntu on a previous version, it was with xorg, and it was fixed
[15:39] <Minty1> hai haiz
[15:39] <Minty1> my Awn manager is artefacting
[15:39] <crow_> joaopinto, thanks. so it's a gentoo bug, or firefox?
[15:40] <joaopinto> crow_, most likely a xorg bug, for the gentoo version, that is why you should report the problem to gentoo, not here ;)
[15:40] <Steve132> I put a dvd in the drive on a new ubuntu 8.10 install
[15:40] <crow_> ok thanks.
[15:40] <Steve132> and totem came up, it searched for codecs, and I verified to install the restricted gstreamer codecs
[15:40] <Steve132> however, when the dvd menu came up
[15:41] <Steve132> I could not click on any of the buttons
[15:41] <Thornley> Steve132, what exactly are you trying to do?
[15:41] <Steve132> play a dvd
[15:41] <Roritharr> erm, where can i find the wireless networks in intrepid?
[15:42] <tiyowan> Roritharr: Top right. Network manager.
[15:42] <Roritharr> it just gives me the option to add another wireless network, but not to browse the ones
[15:42] <Thornley> Steve132, try using mplayer (it's better)
[15:42] <Steve132> I'm installing this for my dad, who is a total technoloy newb
[15:42] <Steve132> if the
[15:42] <Steve132> "play this dvd" pops up and offers to start totem when he clicks on it
[15:43] <Roritharr> tiyown, it just gives me the options "add new wirelessnetwork"  and "connect to a hidden wireless network"
[15:43] <Steve132> totem should do it
[15:43] <Roritharr> isn't there a browser?
[15:43] <bazhang> !dvd > Steve132
[15:43] <Steve132> thats the user experience I want
[15:43] <Roritharr> the button "Wirelessnetworks" above it is grey
[15:43] <Minty1> anyone know why my Awn manager is glitching and showing weird artifacting thingies?
[15:43] <n8tuser> Roritharr -> try  sudo network-manager
[15:43] <Steve132> bzhang, yeah, I've read of all of that
[15:44] <bazhang> Steve132, and you visited medibuntu?
[15:44] <c0de_sm1th_> is radeon 4850 working under ubuntu correctly? Are drivers ok? how many troubles will i buy with it?
[15:44] <Jack_Sparrow> Minty1 Are you running the real ubuntu or a minty one
[15:44] <Steve132> yes
[15:44] <Minty1> mint
[15:44] <Jack_Sparrow> !mint
[15:44] <Thornley> c0de_sm1th_,  more than you wish. Buy a nVidia card.
[15:44] <Minty1> im running mind captain
[15:44] <bazhang> Steve132, and you installed the necessary packages?
[15:44] <Roritharr> n8tuser: command not found
[15:44] <Minty1> mint*
[15:44] <bazhang> Minty1, its not supported here
[15:44] <Steve132> I believe so, yes...as described in the medibuntu guides
[15:44] <n8tuser> Roritharr -> try  sudo network-admin
[15:44] <bazhang> Steve132, which package or packages
[15:44] <Minty1> thanks anyway Cap'n
[15:45] <Roritharr> n8tuser: command not found
[15:45] <Jack_Sparrow> Minty1 And as the link says, we dont support mint or other peoples versions of ubuntu
[15:45] <n8tuser> Roritharr -> try  sudo NetworkManager
[15:45] <c0de_sm1th_> Thornley: thanks.
[15:45] <Minty1> you guys are just jealous of the distribution im using <.<
[15:46] <joaopinto> !ot | Minty1
[15:46] <Roritharr> intresting, this command does nothing
[15:46] <bazhang> Minty1, you are welcome to discuss that in #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:46] <bazhang> whoops
[15:46] <Steve132> bazhang: w32codecs, libdvdcss2, and, uh, what else,I snagged the dvd navigation ones as well
[15:46] <amanulla> h
[15:46] <amanulla> hi
[15:46] <bazhang> Steve132, and what other apps have you tried to play it
[15:46] <Roritharr> doesn't react to it n8tuser
[15:47] <amanulla> how can i remove temporary files in ubuntu while copying data to my usb my pc gonna very slow
[15:47] <on5sl> somebody an idea why compiz won't work on a geforche 2 with the estricted drivers installed? this is the output of compiz --replace => http://pastebin.com/d474f4fcf
[15:47] <amanulla> like %temp% in xp
[15:47] <n8tuser> Roritharr -> type   network  and press tab twice and select from those on the list
[15:47] <Steve132> bazhang:  its not a problem with dvd playback
[15:47] <joaopinto> amanulla, temporary files should not affect the transfer speed to your usb device
[15:47] <Steve132> I'm pretty sure I can play dvd's fine
[15:47] <bazhang> Steve132, then you have it solved?
[15:47] <Steve132> its that the dvd menu buttons don't work
[15:48] <Steve132> under totem-gstreamer
[15:48] <hyougin> Is there anyway to completely reinstall gnome-settings-daemon from terminal? I seem to have completely messed something up and now i cant even boot properly into ubuntu, right now im in the failsafe terminal session...
[15:48] <Roritharr> n8tuser, just gives of onboard beep
[15:48] <amanulla> if so is there wont be any temp files to be removed
[15:48] <amanulla> like %temp% in xp
[15:48] <Roritharr> there are only some with net
[15:48] <joaopinto> amanulla, /tmp is clean at each boot
[15:48] <Roritharr> net netcat netscsid netstat netbook-launcher netkit-ftp net-snmp-config
[15:49] <amanulla> ok now can i clean it
[15:49] <Steve132> bazhang: I know that totemgstreamer, in the past, did not HAVE dvd support
[15:49] <joaopinto> there are cache directories, if you need space you can clear those, but again, that will not affect your usb transfer speed in any way
[15:49] <Steve132> for dvd menus
[15:49] <mluser-work> anyone know what the status is on sun's 64 bit java-plugin for firefox on hardy?
[15:49] <Steve132> so, if I switch over to xine, thats fine, but I want that to be the "default" totem in that case
[15:49] <n8tuser> Roritharr -> i dont use gui much, so forgive me if i cant remember their names
[15:50] <Roritharr> hey, you try to help, thats more than i can hope for :)
[15:50] <Jack_Sparrow> !java64
[15:50] <n8tuser> Roritharr -> you can paste your /etc/network/interfaces ;  ifconfig;  iwconfig;  route -n   results
[15:51] <csst0111> hello...where is my trash folder? :s
[15:51] <Jack_Sparrow> !trash
[15:51] <hyougin> do i have to completely reinstall ubuntu? -_-
[15:52] <Steve132> so, my second question then is, is there a way for one to specifiy that, when a dvid is inserted, the appropriate media program asks to play it?
[15:52] <Steve132> such as totem-xine instead of totem?
[15:52] <lolsux> hello
[15:52] <Jack_Sparrow> hyougin there is a way to reset gnome settings
[15:52] <ikonia> !trash > csst0111
[15:53] <hyougin> how?
[15:53] <marsje> Hi. If you want to install Ubuntu from the live cd on a Vista system, can the Ubuntu installer do the partitioning for you? Especially shrinking the existing Vista partition?
[15:53] <sheep> hyougin: try sudo aptitude reinstall gnome-settings-daemon
[15:53] <Steve132> marsje: yes?
[15:53] <bysken> lol
[15:53] <Steve132> did you try it and it fails?
[15:53] <joaopinto> marsje, yes, but the installer does not run from "Vista," it runs from the live cd :P
[15:54] <hyougin> k ill try that.. hope it works ;/
[15:54] <chazco> Does anyone know how to make settings made in nvidia-settings (enabling tv-out via composite) remain after reboot?
[15:54] <Jack_Sparrow> hyougin there is a way to reset gnome settings  To Reset All of Gnome: http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/       In terminal type:         rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity
[15:54] <marsje> Steve132: I'm atthe point recommending a newbiee te install it on her Vista machine
[15:54] <marsje> Steve132: I don't want her to wipe out all of her stuff
[15:55] <marsje> joaopinto: I understand that :)
[15:55] <n8tuser> marsje -> may i suggest when you boot in the livecd, do a two step process,  resize ntfs first, then reboot again to make sure vista is still okay, then next boot to livecd, you can install
[15:55] <joaopinto> marsje, if it's a newbie, do not forget to recommend to backup the data
[15:55] <on5sl> somebody an idea why compiz won't work on a geforche 2 with the estricted drivers installed? this is the output of compiz --replace => http://pastebin.com/d474f4fcf
[15:55] <erz3364> marsje: she should make a backup of important data before
[15:55] <marsje> joaopinto: good idea
[15:56] <chazco> Also, anyone know how to enable lirc for a nova-t usb device? /dev/input/event* doesnt seem to work in 8.10
[15:56] <marsje> n8tuser: so it's technically possible to have the installer shrink a partition?
[15:56] <joaopinto> marsje, and make sure he/she does not select "use the entire disk"
[15:56] <rehpmag> sudo apt-get update
[15:56] <rehpmag> whoops
[15:56] <Jack_Sparrow> marsje No matter what os she has, she needs a backu of anything she cant afford to lose.  If you are looking for someone to guarantee that shrinking a partition will work.. It wont happen.
[15:56] <dr_willis> Hmm.. anyone have vlc installed? If so RUn it and see if the icon for the program has a little Xmas hat for you also? :)
[15:56] <rehpmag> lo siento :P
[15:56] <n8tuser> marsje -> it is not the installer, you have to run gparted first to resize it, and then reboot again..just to be safe
[15:56] <joaopinto> marsje, yes, the installer allows to shink an ntfs part
[15:56] <bazhang> dr_willis, yep
[15:56] <dr_willis> bazhang,  :) easter eggs.. heh heh
[15:56] <joaopinto> hum, doesn't the installer allow to resize ?
[15:56] <erz3364> marsje: yes, but the ntfs filesystem has to be "clean"
[15:57] <marsje> Jack_Sparrow: got it...
[15:57] <n8tuser> joaopinto -> its big risk, i would not do it again
[15:57] <Jack_Sparrow> marsje At the very least, defrag the windows partition.. twice
[15:57] <marsje> Jack_Sparrow: ok, we're going to try then
[15:58] <hahahhah> hello
[15:58] <Hugh> are the uk repositories down, or is it just my server?
[15:58] <hahahhah> what's up baby
[15:58] <joaopinto> n8tuser, backing up the data is always recommended, using the installer resizing is just as safer as using gparted, they use the same library to perform such operations...
[15:58] <n8tuser> joaopinto -> i learned to do things a step at a time when resizing and reformatting ntfs stuff, i've lost some beforehand

[16:01] <joaopinto> Numbers, the old kernel should still be available from the boot menu
[16:01] <joaopinto> Numbers, and you should file a bug report about it, that's the purpose of -proposed

[16:02] <Numbers> joaopinto, yep.. the old ones are still there but I want to remove them and go back to a stable kernel without having anything that's proposed. I'll file a bug for it, but is there a way I can go back permanently?
[16:02] <fresh_install> my problem is the graphic driver doesn't support
[16:02] <joaopinto> Numbers, you can disable the -proposed repository, boot form the old kernel, and then just remove the new version packages using the package manager
[16:03] <bluntz> Need help with xorg.conf plz
[16:03] <Numbers> joaopinto, excellent.. do I need to do anything with linux-generic like force version?
[16:03] <Red_Tide> noob hardware question why do we have video cards
[16:03] <rehpmag> Red_Tide: to display video
[16:04] <joaopinto> Numbers, no, you just need to disabled -proposed, and remove the newer kernel packages
[16:04] <Numbers> joaopinto, excellent. thanks
[16:04] <Red_Tide> do very old computers have them too?

[16:06] <FFighter> hello
[16:06] <Hugh> hi
[16:06] <bluntz> compiz wont work with gf2
[16:06] <FFighter> what is the DPI recommended for a 22 inch wide monitor?
[16:06] <FFighter> the default 96dpi seems too big
[16:06] <bluntz> beryl will tho
[16:07] <occy> Jack_Sparrow: hey and good morning.  I've checked the Uboto factoid...  on USB.  I'm curious, what I want to do is, install ubuntu from a USB to a hard drive.  Is that possible?
[16:07] <Jack_Sparrow> !beryl
[16:07] <Jack_Sparrow> !usb
[16:08] <Roritharr> erm, the network diag tool should be able to tell me the mac address of my wireless lan card without it needing to be connected somewhere, does it?
[16:08] <ardchoille> When I run the Report A Problem app, it results in a message: "This problem report is damaged and cannot be processed". Is this a known issue? Is this supposed to be a gui app?
[16:08] <occy> Jack_Sparrow: yeah, I checked out the factoid on that.  owondering what I need the USBstick or Persistent
[16:08] <occy> Jack_Sparrow: I want to install from USB to hard drive
[16:08] <Jack_Sparrow> occy persistent, means you run livecd and changes go to the stick.. not what you wanted
[16:09] <occy> Jack_Sparrow: thanks mate.
[16:09] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[16:09] <Pici> Is there an easy way to list the running X displays from a terminal?
[16:09] <bluntz> Any help with xorg.conf in here or do I go to #nvidia?
[16:10] <sheep> bluntz: be more specific. what kind of help?
[16:10] <bluntz> grabdisplay doesnt work
[16:10] <bluntz> overlay is fine

[16:12] <Roritharr> erm, the network diag tool should be able to tell me the mac address of my wireless lan card without it needing to be connected somewhere, does it?
[16:12] <sheep> Roritharr: I think so
[16:12] <bluntz> sheep: ?
[16:12] <tiyowan> Roritharr: Yes. The MAC address is hard-coded into your card.
[16:13] <Roritharr> so if it doesn't there is something wrong with the driver?
[16:13] <joaopinto> RoflCopter, ifconfig -a, should also display it
[16:13] <tiyowan> Roritharr: ifconfig should provide you with your mac address, among other details.
[16:13] <sheep> bluntz: I'm not sure what to do in this case, but the information that ubottu gave about hardware might be useful and the details you provided can help others help you solve your prolem
[16:13] <sheep> *problem
[16:14] <rCX> How do I switch between windows, like "Alt-Tab" in MS-Windows?
[16:14] <bluntz> hang out here for help?
[16:14] <Roritharr> would 00:22:69:35:88:59 be a regular mac address?
[16:14] <sheep> rCX: have you tried alt-tab?
[16:14] <solmakou> rCX by hitting alt+tab :|
[16:14] <sheep> Roritharr: looks like it
[16:14] <lyrae> christ im laughing
[16:14] <tiyowan> Roritharr: 48 bits. Correct.
[16:14] <rCX> oh! Thx :)
[16:15] <Roritharr> thx
[16:15] <solmakou> rCX thanks, that was my first laugh of the day :D
[16:15] <blueskiesokie> hello all
[16:15] <sheep> bluntz: you might need to restate everything (preferable in one line) regularly in case you don't get any responses
[16:15] <rCX> hehe... This is my first time in linux ;)
[16:15] <Roritharr> sudo iwlst wlan0 scan should give me all available wlan networks in my area, or am i wrong?
[16:15] <bluntz> thnx sheep
[16:15] <tiyowan> rCX: Welcome to freedom. :)
[16:15] <saler> any work with oracle
[16:16] <sheep> bluntz: a pastebin of your xorg.conf would definitely be useful
[16:16] <sheep> Roritharr: I think that's just ones that are broadcasting their SSID and aren't hidden
[16:16] <tiyowan> Roritharr: iwlist, not iwlst.

[16:16] <grobda24> Is there an alternative to the keyboard mouse ? I find it clunky and difficult to use.
[16:17] <tiyowan> bluntz: What seems to be the problem you're having? I missed it. Perhaps I could be of assistance.
[16:17] <Hugh> when I do sudo apt-get update, all the servers give a 101 server not found
[16:17] <Zzeiss> I've been wondering myself... what keys _are_ the "keyboard mouse"?
[16:17] <occy> Jack_Sparrow: sorry to bug you again, but is 8.10_Live considered the default Ubuntu cd?
[16:18] <tiyowan> Hugh: System -> Admin. -> Software Sources, try changing to a different server.
[16:18] <Hugh> on ubuntu server
[16:18] <Jack_Sparrow> occy yes.
[16:18] <occy> Jack_Sparrow: thanks bunches.  (this is Trae btw -- not sure if you remember me, but ;)
[16:18] <tiyowan> Hugh: Sometimes the servers go on the blink because of congestion.
[16:19] <zdog291>  this error comes up at boot [10.573548] PCI: device 0000:02:00.0 has unknown header type 08, ignoring. and my ethernet card (cnet pro 200) is not detected
[16:19] <solmakou> I have been trying to make my soundblaster my default sound card for a few man hours now and I have done sudo asoundconf set-default-$cardname and the instructions listed here http://tinyurl.com/5vsnjm however some programs are still trying to use the onboard sound, anyone have a good way of "disabling" the sound card for a nublet like me?
[16:19] <bluntz> ok xorg.conf is here... http://paste.ubuntu.com/92279/
[16:19] <tiyowan> !hcl > zdog291
[16:19] <bluntz> video capture doesnt work anymore
[16:19] <tiyowan> zdog291: Check whether you card is supported.
[16:19] <nobu> #ubuntu-games
[16:20] <tiyowan> solmakou: Do you mean the audio chip on your motherboard?
[16:20] <feklee> How do I disable the password prompt that is displayed when a laptop resumes from Suspend to RAM?
[16:20] <solmakou> tiyowan yes the onboard soundcard is driving me bonkers
[16:20] <tiyowan> solmakou: You should be able to do that from BIOS.
[16:20] <solmakou> it can not be disabled in the bios
[16:21] <tiyowan> solmakou: Really? How old is your BIOS?
[16:21] <nobu> #manaus
[16:22] <Jack_Sparrow> solmakou I have never seen one that could not be disabled by some means
[16:22] <solmakou> Jack_Sparrow / tiyowan yeah I'm looking further into it now
[16:22] <solmakou> I haven't seen it, it might be a jumper setting
[16:22] <Jack_Sparrow> solmakou what mb?
[16:22] <tiyowan> solmakou: Good point about the jumper setting.  You can snag the manual off the link I gave you. Should point you to the relevant jumper setting.
[16:25] <zdog291> tiyowan my netgear Netgear FA311 is in the supported section and has the same error:
[16:26] <zdog291> pci device 000:0200.0 has unknown header type 08, ignoring
[16:26] <tiyowan> zdog291: Is the light on at the back of your card?
[16:26] <zdog291> yes
[16:26] <solmakou> it's actually in the bios it appears, just listed as "HDA controller" which I wrongly assumed was a hard drive controller
[16:26] <solmakou> chaulk it up to sol stupidity :|
[16:27] <tiyowan> zdog291: Does this card work in windows?
[16:27] <solmakou> thank you for your help
[16:27] <zdog291> it worked in 98 which is the last version I had on that computer
[16:27] <tiyowan> solmakou: No worries, mate. :)
[16:28] <kitply> hello. I have a Samsung 2 GB Mp3 player ( model: YPU2J series) . But the samsung website doesnt seem to host linux drivers for that product, and my ubuntu doesnt recognise the player. Is there anyway that i can make ubuntu recognise my player..can anyone help?
[16:28] <tiyowan> zdog291: Google seems to return something about possible kernel issues. Do you have another kernel you could boot into?
[16:29] <zdog291> no
[16:29] <bullgard4> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode: "This mode just loads some basic services and drops you into command line mode." What basic services does it load and what services not?
[16:29] <solmakou> I read in a place or two that ATI is going to work on the "flickering" problem with the next driver, does anyone know if they have beta drivers for 4850's?
[16:30] <zdog291> well only recovery mode \
[16:30] <bluntz> hardy has been a nightmare to get video capture working
[16:30] <tiyowan> solmakou: I'm running a X1400 ATI Mobility. The flickering problem still hasn't been fixed with the latest release of the ATI drivers. The compiz guys blame ATI, and vice versa.
[16:31] <bluntz> wish I knew who was a good display man
[16:31] <solmakou> roger that tiyowan
[16:31] <tiyowan> zdog291: I'm out of suggestions. Perhaps someone else on here could provide you with more guidance. I'd recommend you search on google with your model plus the error mg.
[16:32] <bluntz> http://paste.ubuntu.com/92279/ for my xorg, any help would be nice

[16:32] <solmakou> thanks again tiyowan
[16:32] <bluntz> ty Jack
[16:32] <occy> Ok... that was kinda a fail. :/  I do have a USB floppy, I wonder if you can install Ubuntu from a floppy disk anymore.
[16:32] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[16:32] <tiyowan> solmakou: I don't how well they perform with the Radeons though...there's a recent thread on Ubuntu forums under Multimedia & Video where folks are relating their experiences. Perhaps you might want to look at it.
[16:34] <Jack_Sparrow> !install
[16:34] <solmakou> I've taken a few ganders at it I have discovered several workaround that work fine, are people usually this helpful in the channel?
[16:35] <z1gst3r> sup #ubuntu
[16:35] <bluntz> #compiz empty #nvidia empty
[16:35] <Jack_Sparrow> bluntz try patience
[16:36] <bazhang> bluntz, compiz channel is not empty; you need to ask a question there first
[16:36] <tiyowan> solmakou: I found this channel to be very helpful. As long as one is patient. It takes some time to migrate from Windows completely. Often times, I myself think in Winmode. :)
[16:37] <bluntz> I guess anybody here is nogood?

[16:39] <alexmax> i've been trying linux since redhat 5.2, only within the last couple of months have i been able to use it full time....only at work though, at home i still use vista
[16:40] <Dager> Дарова,а русские есть?
[16:40] <tiyowan> !ru
[16:42] <tiyowan> alexmax: Way off-topic. But I suspect an increasing number of users will switch to linux once win7 comes out. I haven't seen this much "glitter" in an OS since WinME.
[16:42] <mkeith> I am installing ubuntu intrepid on my dell laptop with an external vga hooked up will ubuntu configure it in xorg.conf
[16:42] <aat_><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[16:43] <Seveas> mkeith, probably not. Only in rare occasions where that is needed :)
[16:44] <scribawf> !3500
[16:44] <tiyowan> mkeith: I'd try installing with no external display first, then adding in the external display later.
[16:44] <mkeith> Seveas is it possible to run a external vga in ubuntu?
[16:46] <U236Willy> I just loaded the faq... looked up my pcmcia card and it states it works right out of the box. which it did--once, right after the fresh install of 8.10 and i went to apt-get update/upgrade to get all the recent packages.  now i can't seem to get it to work again. any ideas?
[16:46] <Seveas> mkeith, yes. What I meant is that configuring in xorg.conf is rarely needed
[16:47] <tiyowan> U236Willy: What error msgs do you get when you try the commands?
[16:47] <mkeith> Seveas so what you are saying I should be able to use it out of the box on install?
[16:47] <U236Willy> i don't get error messages
[16:47] <CallumEEEPC> Oh really?
[16:48] <CallumEEEPC> Hello!
[16:48] <U236Willy> but i notice it comes up twice when i use iwconfig
[16:48] <CallumEEEPC> Anyone know if WIFI will work on UBUNTU 8.10 on EEE PC? Please
[16:48] <U236Willy> as wifi0 and wlan0
[16:48] <CallumEEEPC> EEE PC ASUS 701SD Model 8GB
[16:48] <tiyowan> U236Willy: Oh. Don't worry about that. That is normal.
[16:48] <Svartalf> Yeah...  It should just work fine.
[16:48] <U236Willy> iwlist wlan0 scan sees the network.. but it never connects anymore
[16:49] <tiyowan> !eee
[16:49] <bazhang> CallumEEEPC, yes it works
[16:49] <Svartalf> I've a 701 4Gb model I've just migrated to eeebuntu 8.10 in the last couple of days and it seems to work fine.
[16:49] <CallumEEEPC> orlly?
[16:49] <CallumEEEPC> ::D
[16:49] <Svartalf> Yes...
[16:49] <CallumEEEPC> omg ty much
[16:49] <CallumEEEPC> so i should get ubuntu asap
[16:49] <tiyowan> U236Willy: Well. Could you pastebin your ifconfig?
[16:50] <U236Willy> what? ifconfig -a?
[16:50] <Svartalf> I would say so CallumEEEPC.
[16:50] <tiyowan> U236Willy: Yes, please.
[16:50] <CallumEEEPC> So if I do get Ubuntu it will work? :)
[16:50] <CallumEEEPC> I need WIFI it is a must. :P
[16:50] <U236Willy> hmmm
[16:50] <Svartalf> I had to go to something like that, the stock config from Asus won't work with my AP (doesn't grok spaces in the PSK...)
[16:50] <tiyowan> !eee > CallumEEEPC
[16:50] <CallumEEEPC> Merry Xmas to all!
[16:52] <tiyowan> CallumEEEPC: If you're very worried about your setup working correctly, then take some time to search on the ubuntu forums with the model of your machine. It will provide you with some reassurance and a list of the possible problems you might have to deal with. Preparation is key. And don't rush anything.
[16:52] <solmakou> it appears that Totem does not support 5.1 surround sound, is there a way of duplicating the channels *only for totem* or does anyone know of another workaround?
[16:52] <bullgard4> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode: "This mode just loads some basic services and drops you into command line mode." Welche 'basic services' lädt er und welche nicht?
[16:52] <U236Willy> that would be hard as this machine is windows based and i can't get the ubuntu laptop to connect to the wireless network.
[16:52] <tiyowan> !de
[16:53] <minus18_pundit> can anyone help me with my sis 771/671 display driver? i could not get it to work
[16:53] <sinbox> how would I go about instqalling xmms (not xmms2) on 8.04, will I need to build or?...
[16:53] <lyrae> Howcome some text editors have a vertical grey line across the text area?
[16:53] <tiyowan> U236Willy: Hmm. Can you connect to other wireless networks?
[16:53] <Halitech> U236Willy, run it this way then ifconfig -a > ifconfig.txt then copy that file in your home folder to a thumbdrive and copy it to your windows computer
[16:53] <U236Willy> that's an idea
[16:53] <tiyowan> sinbox: xmms is dead, I think.
[16:53] <CallumEEEPC> wow
[16:53] <Pici> sinbox: xmms is no longer being supported upstream so it is no longer in the repositories.  You'd need to build from source if you really want it.
[16:53] <CallumEEEPC> that looks hard
[16:54] <CallumEEEPC> and confuising
[16:54] <CallumEEEPC> Ill stick to the Linux i dont like code.
[16:54] <CallumEEEPC> LOL
[16:54] <sinbox> I now it's dead but I still have it on my old 7.10 box, maybe just dig the deb file and use that
[16:54] <Roritharr> mhum
[16:54] <Roritharr> i tried installing the madwifi driber
[16:54] <U236Willy> thanks Halitech.. doh.. good thinking.. i should've thought of that :3
[16:54] <tiyowan> sinbox | Pici
[16:54] <Roritharr> after make install
[16:54] <sinbox> or I'll go find the source, thanks Pici and tiyowan
[16:54] <Roritharr> it tdoesnt appear under Hardware-Driver
[16:55] <Roritharr> reboot doesn't change anything either
[16:55] <tiyowan> !madwifi
[16:55] <Halitech> U236Willy, no worries, been doing that a bit lately so I can read output easily instead of in the terminal :)
[16:55] <ushimitsudoki> solmakou: https://bugs.launchpad.net/totem/+bug/40732 Maybe it is a known bug?
[16:55] <CallumEEEPC> umm
[16:56] <bullgard4> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode: "This mode just loads some basic services and drops you into command line mode." What basic services does it load and what services not?
[16:56] <Jack_Sparrow> !eeepc > CallumEEEPC
[16:57] <mini-man> stupid question ahead
[16:57] <tiyowan> bullgard4: Maybe try booting into it and try running to "ps -ef" to see what's running?
[16:57] <solmakou> ushimitsudoki yes it's a known bug, but there are usually workarounds for bugs :D, one is duplicating the channels but I wouldn't want it to efect my other media players !
[16:58] <minus18_pundit> can anyone help me with my sis 771/671 display driver? i could not get it to work
[16:58] <mini-man> I'm trying to setup apache2, and I have an apache2 working install on my windows box with full configuration, so I'm migrating it to ubuntu, making changes where necessary, and I ran through a2enmod and enabled all the modules I need
[16:58] <tiyowan> !anyone
[16:58] <mini-man> so does that mean I don't need the LoadModule stanzas in my httpd.conf?
[16:58] <CallumEEEPC> is Svartalf here?
[16:58] <mini-man> because there are no *.so's afaics in /etc/apache2/*/
[16:58] <tiyowan> minus18_pundit: What seems to be problem you're having visually?
[16:59] <bazhang> CallumEEEPC, did you have an ubuntu support question?
[16:59] <CallumEEEPC> yes
[17:00] <bullgard4> tiyowan: I will try that.
[17:00] <CallumEEEPC> It is ok, Thanks Svartalf is helping me "Noob"
[17:00] <Svartalf> He was wanting to know if the WiFi on the eeePC (an atheros chip...) worked with 8.10.  You have to do some manual work with the distribution after install, or grab eeebuntu regular or netbook remix.
[17:00] <CallumEEEPC> I am a Noob.
[17:00] <Jack_Sparrow> CallumEEEPC there is a different release for eeepc's
[17:00] <minus18_pundit> tiyowan: i have vesa working fine. but that's 2d only. i can't compiz fusiion or any other desktop effects.
[17:01] <bazhang> CallumEEEPC, right, and it was answered, correct? do you have ubuntu on the eeepc or just want to chat about it?
[17:01] <jtaji> bullgard4: I think "loads basic services" is misleading, recovery mode is what is also referred to as single user mode aka run level 1, basically no services are loaded
[17:01] <bazhang> CallumEEEPC, if it is the latter then please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic thanks.
[17:01] <adrian0071> ls
[17:01] <CallumEEEPC> Ummm.
[17:01] <CallumEEEPC> No?
[17:02] <CallumEEEPC> Thanks for your Help.
[17:02] <tiyowan> minus18_pundit: Uh-oh. Can you please pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log please?
[17:02] <CallumEEEPC> I will Download the EEEBuntu now.

[17:04] <Be1> Hi Guys!
[17:05] <CallumEEEPC> Sorry I am very new, I got EEE PC for Xmas.
[17:05] <CallumEEEPC> The new 8GB SD 701SD Model, White
[17:05] <gmathews> Hi I am trying to run thge ALlDay Long wallpapeer which is an XML file - it works because it shows the picture but I havent seen it change. Would anyone be keen to help?
[17:05] <Be1> anyone know how to make ubuntu re scan hardware and get my new sound card working??
[17:05] <Roritharr> does eeebuntu work with other netbooks aswell?
[17:05] <Halitech> CallumEEEPC, have you installed or used any other version of linux before?
[17:05] <adrian0071> is it possible to reset the ubuntu desktop back to its 'factory' state?  I have added and removed a lot of panel items from the menu bars and would like to basically put everything back as it was
[17:05] <Jack_Sparrow> !eeepc > CallumEEEPC
[17:06] <CallumEEEPC> Yeah I have Used Ubuntu and YellowDog Linux.
[17:06] <CallumEEEPC> Yet have never changed a OS around or added app's
[17:06] <Pici> Jack_Sparrow: Hes gotten that factoid like 5 times now, I think thats enough.
[17:06] <CallumEEEPC> Like removed/added a OS to a PC.
[17:06] <Kavan> I am utilizing checkinstall to create DEB binary packages, but it is not replacing the kernel module during installation
[17:06] <Kavan> any suggestions?
[17:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Pici Now if he would actually READ it
[17:07] <Pici> CallumEEEPC: #ubuntu-offtopic is the channel for chat, please only stick to support questions in #ubuntu
[17:07] <minus18_pundit> tiyowan: what does pastebin mean? should i paste it here?
[17:07] <gmathews> The XML file can be found here -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/92299/
[17:07] <gmathews> Please take a look someone :) Thanks.
[17:07] <tiyowan> adrian0071: Well...if you're talking about the GUI; you could just purge and reinstall. But I haven't done that.
[17:07] <tiyowan> minus18_pundit: paste.ubuntu.com
[17:08] <Halitech> CallumEEEPC, don't mean to sound rude but if you don't know how to change an OS then maybe you should learn how to use Linpus that is installed so if you need assistance you can call the support line
