[06:44] <iSeriesSysAdm> just put in the CD and go for it
[06:44] <KNY> it's USB
[06:44] <KNY> but I'll poke around
[06:44] <PaulusVictor> KNY: I'll figure it out later, bed time for me. Thanks for the assist.
[06:44] <KNY> PaulusVictor, no problem
[06:44] <dick-richardson> yeah, disk is the most conspicuous term in the lines that specify what's mapped where
[06:44] <mneptok> bugeyes: get the alternate CD and format / when you install. if you don,t have a seperate partiton for /home, you'll lose all user data
[06:44] <dick-richardson> in the messages file, of course
[06:45] <markedwards> any grub experts here?
[06:45] <KNY> markedwards, /join #grub
[06:45] <avalon_> DM crypt is out for my encryption needs...
[06:45] <bugeyes> I don't mind loosing user data.  I am new to this and screwed everything up.  It is a new install anyway
[06:45] <markedwards> KNY: thanks
[06:45] <EnsignRedshirt> mneptok: I don't recall using either of the USB drives on the mac, but my memory ain't what it used to be, so I couldn't swear to it.  FWIW, one of the external drives is ntfs, and the other is ext3.
[06:45] <bugeyes> mneptok:  Thanks a bunch!!
[06:45] <KNY> markedwards, no problem
[06:46] <iSeriesSysAdm> bugeyes - do you have a cd for that version?
[06:46] <iSeriesSysAdm> ok
[06:46] <kortec> hey, i'm trying to install edgy on a laptop without a cd rom drive. is there a known way to put a cd image on to a usb stick to boot from it?
[06:46] <KNY> whoever was asking about azureus-gcj: http://www.google.com/search?q=define%3Agij
[06:46] <KNY> or: http://www.google.com/search?q=define%3Agcj
[06:47] <dick-richardson> kortec: easier to install over the network if the laptop has an ethernet jack
[06:47] <iSeriesSysAdm> yes you can use a USB key to boot from
[06:47] <KNY> theflyingfool, http://www.google.com/search?q=define%3Agcj http://www.google.com/search?q=define%3Agij
[06:47] <iSeriesSysAdm> i i would use the network
[06:47] <kortec> dick-richardson okay.. what boot medium? PXE boot? is there a link somewhere?
[06:48] <dick-richardson> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-28948.html
[06:50] <theflyingfool> KNY: thnx
[06:50] <KNY> theflyingfool, no problem
[06:50] <KNY> theflyingfool, to clarify: I believe that it compiles the Java into native bytecode, making it faster and have less overhead
[06:50] <KNY> so use the -gcj one
[06:50] <EnsignRedshirt> mneptok: It is something to do with the ntfs usb disk.  mount shows "/dev/sda on /media/untitled type hfsplus ..." and "/dev/sda1 n /media/usbdisk type ntfs ..."

[06:51] <KNY> theflyingfool, not a problem
[06:52] <redwyrm> what's the most supported/standard way of firewalling under Edgy?
[06:53] <lotacus> i would like to know as well. I gave up on snort
[06:53] <theflyingfool> without closing a prog is there a way to check if its not responding?
[06:53] <_3uG_> hi.. can someone recommend a really good, lightweight desktop manager that i can use with xfce in place of xfdesktop?
[06:55] <EnsignRedshirt> _3uG_: You could also try asking in #xubuntu
[06:55] <_3uG_> EnsignRedshirt, ah. good idea
[06:56] <lotacus> i really should go to bed, but I hate sleeping
[06:57] <doy> so, i tried to rerun the installer, and now i can't use lvm on my root drive, even if i manually use fdisk to remove the partitions and do 'cat /dev/zero > /dev/hdc'
[06:57] <snooplsm> where is the $PATH variable stored?  in what file?
[06:57] <cmt^^> does anyone have a couple of hours to spare? I need help installing and configuring apache 2 on ubuntu edgy
[06:57] <doy> because it says the physical device is already in use
[06:57] <doy> what else can i try?
[07:00] <EnsignRedshirt> snooplsm: I don't recall the order or logic in which these files are used but PATH might be defined in: /etc/profile, ~/.bash_profile and/or ~/.bashrc
[07:00] <cmt^^> I need some help setting up a mailserver on ubuntu linux, doesn anyone have a couple of hours to spare? :)
[07:00] <Flannel> doy: er, what?
[07:01] <riyonuk_> Help! I installed a black theme for mirranda and now all my themes are black, how do I get rid of this?
[07:01] <Flannel> doy: you don't need to do that (youd use dd anyway), just format hdc1 as lvm.  It's more robust that way too.
[07:01] <doy> Flannel: i've never used lvm before, so i was hoping to do it automatically(:
[07:01] <doy> but if that will work, okay
[07:02] <Flannel> doy: using a drive (as opposed to a partition on a drive) is safer against things that aren't lvm-aware, since they see "a partition" instead of a blank drive
[07:02] <Flannel> doy: it's fine ;)  I just setup a LVM too.  You have the alternate ISO/CD, right?
[07:02] <theflyingfool> I think my synaptic froze, if i kill it, will i trash my system
[07:02] <doy> so i can format /dev/hdc1 as lvm and then tell the installer to use it as the root drive?
[07:03] <markedwards> not getting response from #grub, anyone good at diagnosing Error 17 problems in grub?
[07:03] <Flannel> doy: you format it in the installer.  You'll also need a /boot partition
[07:03] <Flannel> doy: since grub can't boot to LVM yet.  So it's a lot easier to just setup a 200mb /boot partition or whatever
[07:03] <snooplsm> thanks
[07:03] <doy> what about swap?
[07:03] <Flannel> doy: so, hdc1 is 200mb /boot, then the rest is lvm.  Swap goes in lvm
[07:04] <doy> okay
[07:04] <Flannel> doy: then once you've set that up, you go to the top and "configure lvm"
[07:04] <newjs> Is there a way to use wildcard in /etc/hosts   to let *.com point to <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[07:04] <Flannel> doy: then thats how you'll setup all the volume groups, and logical volumes, in the lvm thing.
[07:05] <Flannel> doy: "once youve set that up" means, while still on the partitioner screen
[07:05] <doy> alright, thanks(:
[07:05] <doy> i'll see how that works
[07:06] <lotacus> ok good. the shift backspace problem I think is fixed for this session at least
[07:06] <lotacus> is there a way to make this change more permanent?
[07:06] <theflyingfool> how do i kill a program that wont close?
[07:07] <EnsignRedshirt> theflyingfool: You're trying to kill your zombied synaptic?
[07:07] <newjs> Is there a way to Use wildcard in /etc/hosts    to point *.local to <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:07] <lotacus> system>administration>System Monitor
[07:07] <lotacus> select the process that is hanging and right click and kill
[07:07] <theflyingfool> EnsignRedshirt: yup
[07:08] <nothlit> killall, kill -9
[07:08] <EnsignRedshirt> lotacus: Will that work if the program is running as root?
[07:08] <lotacus> oh probably not
[07:08] <lotacus> use the killall then
[07:08] <EnsignRedshirt> theflyingfool: Try this: sudo killall -9 synaptic
[07:08] <lotacus> sudo killall (process name)
[07:08] <lotacus> case sensitive of course
[07:09] <theflyingfool> EnsignRedshirt: worked thanks much

[07:24] <sayan_> hi pie-rate install flash plugins for your firefox
[07:24] <facugaich> Doesn't work for me either
[07:24] <nothlit> Pie-rate, the big black thing still is the flash banner lol
[07:24] <adamonline> Pie-rate: I have a similar issue with the music player on Myspace...
[07:24] <lotacus> WoW website looks fine fo rme
[07:24] <Pie-rate> nothlit, sayan_: i HAVE flash and it doesn't render improperly on windows.
[07:24] <ardchoille42> Pie-rate, Here's what I am seeing:  http://img226.imageshack.us/img226/7328/testdl8.jpg
[07:24] <ciscosurfer> Pie-rate: I think that has to with Flash (not whether it's installed -- I have it installed and it looks just like you said)...
[07:24] <krinns> my firfox is crashing
[07:25] <krinns> its falsh site prb i think
[07:25] <Pie-rate> ardchoille42: you don't have flash installed
[07:25] <krinns> what should i do
[07:25] <ardchoille42> Pie-rate, yes, I do
[07:25] <Pie-rate> ardchoille42: then you're blocking that somehow.
[07:25] <nothlit> Pie-rate, yes but the big black thing is flash over here
[07:26] <weiyan> anybody help ...,,boot stoped with this notice : can't access tty; job control turn off
[07:26] <Pie-rate> nothlit: any way to fix it? it doesn't have that problem on windows
[07:26] <ciscosurfer> Pie-rate: it's an issue with Flash on Ubuntu.  Period.
[07:26] <Pie-rate> nothlit: i have flash 9
[07:26] <ryancr> anyone know how to have small launcher icons on a large panel?
[07:26] <Pie-rate> ciscosurfer: why does it happen?
[07:26] <nothlit> Pie-rate, its probably a flash 9 beta issue
[07:26] <ardchoille42> Pie-rate, Ah, right you are, noscript was blocking JS
[07:26] <Pie-rate> nothlit: flash 9 isn't beta
[07:26] <adamonline> Does anyone know a way that I can send a command to a terminal window from another terminal window?
[07:26] <ciscosurfer> Pie-rate: probably has to with Flash being beta
[07:26] <nothlit> Flash 9 Update 2 issue*
[07:26] <nothlit> and yes it is
[07:26] <ryancr> like 2 rows of small launchers on a large panel
[07:27] <sayan_> pie-rate i think you are misleading with the black them of the site
[07:27] <Pie-rate> nothlit: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash
[07:27] <sayan_> wait a bit for downloading all pics
[07:27] <nothlit> ryancr, use xfce-panel
[07:27] <Pie-rate> nothlit: version: 9,0,31,0
[07:27] <sayan_> or install flash again
[07:27] <ardchoille42> Does Half Life have a Linux client?
[07:27] <Pie-rate> nothlit: not beta
[07:28] <weiyan> anybody any ideas ? boot stoped with : " can't access tty; job control turn off "
[07:28] <nothlit> eh, then its a flash 9 linux issue

[07:30] <adamonline> ardchoille42: If that's what you're looking for I know a great tutorial that got it installed for me flawlessly
[07:30] <ryancr> nothlit: yeah i was trying to avoid that
[07:30] <ardchoille42> ryancr, There are some other panel type apps in the repos
[07:30] <adamonline> ciscosurfer: Thank you, I'm looking now :)
[07:30] <ardchoille42> adamonline, I just want to play half life on my computer as the only player.
[07:30] <wnorrix> I am using a DLink DWL-G122. Just installed Edgy (fresh install) the Link LED lights up. When I do a iwlist scan it lists my access point (airport extreme base station), but for some reason it does not get a IP address which i set the essid in the network-manager. FYI I am not using any kind of security/passwords its a open network
[07:30] <ciscosurfer> adamonline: sure
[07:30] <ciscosurfer> adamonline: hope that helps
[07:32] <n2diy> wnorrix: sounds like a DHCP, or port forwarding issue?
[07:32] <qmf> hi there. my gl vendor used to show mesa. not it shows SGI and i've noticed a big hits on my fps in games. any idea how i can resolve this?
[07:32] <ryancr> ardchoille42: well i was hoping to use the gnome panel with some sort of cool "add to panel" app ;)
[07:32] <wnorrix> n2diy: well my mac seems to connect to the accesspoint just fine
[07:32] <Silv3rF0x> I have a question
[07:32] <wnorrix> and ubuntu draper seemed to also work fine (other than the wifi switching off ever 30-40 mins)
[07:33] <wnorrix> even if i set a static ip
[07:33] <weiyan> anybody give some ideas ...boot stoped with this notice : can't access tty; job control turn off
[07:33] <wnorrix> its dead..
[07:33] <AgentChem> I need some expert advice guys
[07:33] <n2diy> wnorrix: ok, just guessing, my network is working either, all I've managed to do is ping stuff.
[07:33] <Silv3rF0x> phpize install
[07:33] <Silv3rF0x> I normal ues FC and it is in a pack already
[07:33] <wnorrix> n2diy: you have a DWL-122 ?
[07:34] <nothlit> ryancr, sorry, its xfce4-panel rather than xfce-panel
[07:34] <AgentChemical> My 6.1 server cd wont boot
[07:34] <riyonuk_> I think Im doing something wrong, everytime I apply a theme, it never changes the task buttons, mine look like classic windows instead of that cool blueness http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/32765755/ how do I fix this? What am I doing wrong?
[07:34] <n2diy> wnorrix: no, a Linksys BEFWS
[07:34] <ryancr> nothlit: yeah found it...tho this may give me an excuse to learn how to right my own gnome panel applet ;)
[07:35] <AgentChemical> what would be causing this issue?
[07:35] <ardchoille42> ryancr, That's how some coders start out :)
[07:35] <adamonline> ciscosurfer: Are you still there? perhaps I meant to say 'send a command from one shell window to another'.  The link you sent me seems to refer to sending commands between terminals, as in workstations...
[07:36] <n2diy> AgentChemical: a bad burn on the CD, or a dirty cdrom drive?
[07:36] <ciscosurfer> adamonline: ah, sorry...
[07:36] <ciscosurfer> adamonline: i think I remember doing something like that via tty commands
[07:36] <AgentChemical> I have tried 3 sep cd's 3 sep apps
[07:37] <AgentChemical> burner works fine
[07:37] <nothlit> AgentChemical, its a 6.10 server cd btw, its not a traditional version number, thats 2006, October
[07:37] <Silv3rF0x> Anyone know what hold phpize so I can install it on this 6.06
[07:37] <ryancr> haha just released today: Quick Lounge Applet
[07:37] <nothlit> AgentChemical, did you md5hash the cd and the iso?
[07:37] <ryancr> does exactly what i want
[07:37] <AgentChemical> i know nothlit
[07:37] <AgentChemical> yes
[07:37] <adamonline> ciscosurfer: TTY commands, cool, I'll look into that... This whole time I thought TTY stuff was in regards to voice accessibility hearing-impaired...
[07:37] <AgentChemical> it checks out fine
[07:37] <Silv3rF0x> most case in FC it is in php-devel
[07:38] <adamonline> ciscosurfer: Guess that makes more sense... =)
[07:38] <ciscosurfer> adamonline: yeah, i don't remember the exact commands, but trying something with redirection, etc., and involving tty either as itself or as $TTY ....can't remember
[07:39] <AgentChemical> the iso has been md5 checked, burnt correctly 3 diff times with 3 diff apps, bios set to cd boot
[07:39] <Azimuth>
[07:39] <AgentChemical> but no boot
[07:39] <markedwards> can someone tell me if its safe to change a partition's id using fdisk's 't' command?  will it damage that partition?
[07:40] <adamonline> ciscosurfer: Alright, thank you =)
[07:40] <ciscosurfer> adamonline: Good Luck!!
[07:41] <AgentChemical> im at a lost with this thing
[07:41] <AgentChemical> *loss
[07:41] <Flannel> AgentChemical: did you burn at 4x?
[07:41] <AgentChemical> yep
[07:41] <ardchoille42> AgentChemical, probably a silly question, but did you burn it as an image?
[07:41] <nothlit> markedwards, no.. but do you have any data you need on that partition?
[07:42] <Flannel> wait, it won't boot at all?
[07:42] <AgentChemical> yes, it was burnt FROM the image
[07:42] <AgentChemical> its like my cdrom doesnt even see it at boot
[07:43] <markedwards> nothlit: yes
[07:43] <Flannel> AgentChemical: so, it doesn't boot at all?  is your BIOS setup correctly?
[07:43] <AgentChemical> flannel, yes
[07:43] <markedwards> nothlit: but its partition id is wrong
[07:43] <Flannel> AgentChemical: and, if you browse the CD, what do you see on it?
[07:43] <AgentChemical> dirs' and files
[07:44] <markedwards> nothlit: is there danger of data loss?
[07:44] <Flannel> AgentChemical: hmm.  that is very odd indeed.
[07:44] <AgentChemical> haha yah
[07:44] <nothlit> markedwards, i don't think it'll remove any data, but I would back up to be sure
[07:44] <Flannel> AgentChemical: try the 6.06 CD
[07:44] <Flannel> AgentChemical: see if it's jsut a fluke of the ISO, or... what.
[07:45] <AgentChemical> tell ya what, let me do a screen shot of the cd root dir and u can tell me if maybe the ISO is missing something ?!
[07:45] <ardchoille42> AgentChemical, Which ISO? Edgy?
[07:46] <AgentChemical> server 6.10
[07:46] <Flannel> AgentChemical: actually, you can check yourself.  Let me get you a manifest
[07:47] <AgentChemical> Flannel, yah thanks
[07:47] <theflyingfool> what do i need to read the kernal sourcecode?
[07:47] <funkmunky> what is a good video card for casual gaming for linux?
[07:48] <Flannel> AgentChemical: http://ftp.ucsb.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/ubuntu/edgy/ubuntu-6.10-server-i386.list
[07:49] <AgentChemical> thanks Flannel !!

[08:06] <deepbluegene> hi. ican fileneme.chm can be opened in ubuntu.please guide
[08:07] <deepbluegene> hi. can fileneme.chm can be opened in ubuntu.please guide
[08:07] <cas3> use vi deepbluegene, I guess
[08:08] <deepbluegene> cas3: ok
[08:09] <deepbluegene> cas3: no it is not working.
[08:09] <deepbluegene> is there any converter?
[08:10] <Rondom> deepbluegene: install gnochm
[08:10] <AgentChemical> if this doesnt work, then it has to be something with my cd's . eventhough the data is readable
[08:10] <deepbluegene> rondom:thanx.let me try
[08:11] <bulmer> AgentChemical: upon downloading the iso, you can mount it and then check to see if it is okay
[08:12] <cas3> what did it show deepblue?
[08:13] <Rondom> cas3: chms are binary files
[08:13] <EnsignRedshirt> AgentChemical: (Sorry if you already answered this...) What are you burning the disk with? K3B has the option of checking the md5sum of the disk itself after writing.  If that checks, the disk is good.
[08:13] <Rondom> cas3: they are windows-html-help-files
[08:13] <Rondom> cas3:  the successor of *.hlp
[08:13] <AgentChemical> EnsignRedshirt, I have used cd burner xp, nero and infra recorder
[08:13] <cas3> oh, then it'll be garbled, I dunno then
[08:14] <AgentChemical> I have used the md5sum app tp check the hash
[08:14] <AgentChemical> which has checked ouy
[08:14] <AgentChemical> *out
[08:14] <deepbluegene> cas3: it is not working as explained by Rondom
[08:14] <deepbluegene> Rondom:thanx with gnochm i can read chm.thanx for your help
[08:14] <deepbluegene> cas3:thanx to you also
[08:15] <AgentChemical> i dont mind waisting the cds...hell i get like 100 for 20 bucks, but its just time consuming trying to figure this out

[08:46] <lotacus> anyone know why running: java -cp swt.jar:Azureus2.jar -Djava.library.path=. org.gudy.azureus2.ui.swt.Main will throw an error but if I go into the working directory of azereus and run that exact command, it will work?
[08:46] <wilsoniya> maybe there's something wrong w/ your cp
[08:47] <wilsoniya> maybe you're missing something and it works correctly when you're in the dir because your pwd contains the needed classes
[08:48] <lotacus> well on the azureus site it says that if the files are extracted to another dir, to make that change in the path in the command, but I dnot know where that change should go
[08:49] <lotacus> for example, all required files are in /usr/share/azureus
[08:49] <wilsoniya> doesn't azureus simply ship with a bash script for launching the jvm/app?
[08:50] <AdamKili> someone please help me with fceu (NES Emulator) none of the arguements in the official documentation are working, i've been trying a ton of things, and now it stopped playing games completly it says the xscale is out of bounds

[08:58] <Joe_CoT> wilsoniya: all the javascript?
[08:59] <kronus_> i've installed 6.06 from a CD, and the network card doesn't show up in ifconfig
[08:59] <wilsoniya> hmm
[08:59] <kronus_> or the gui network configurator
[08:59] <kronus_> the card has worked with ubuntu before
[08:59] <wilsoniya> yeah, plus the pages tend to be huge w/ tons of graphics & css shiot
[09:00] <huck> kronus_: just taking a stab at it... but can you do a sudo ifconfig eth0 up  ???
[09:00] <kronus_> "no such device"
[09:00] <Byan> can someone help me get my screen resolution to the correct size?
[09:00] <Joe_CoT> kronus_ : dmesg | grep eth
[09:01] <wilsoniya> Byan: u using gnome?
[09:01] <incorrect> hello, i just installed inetd and its says its need --alow-root  i don't see any man pages and google doesn't return any results
[09:01] <Byan> wilsoniya: yes
[09:01] <Joe_CoT> kronus_ : do you get any errors? does it detect the card?
[09:01] <Byan> wilsoniya: it's a intel GMA900 chipset
[09:01] <kronus_> "Error: no handler or method for GPE[7] , disabling event"
[09:01] <Byan> and it's suppost to be at 1280x768
[09:01] <wilsoniya> Byan: that should'nt matter
[09:02] <wilsoniya> hmm
[09:02] <wilsoniya> do you have the correct res set in xorg.conf?
[09:02] <kronus_> it triggered on the 'eth' in method
[09:02] <kronus_> the card's LED's are lit up
[09:02] <Byan> wilsoniya: no idea..
[09:02] <Joe_CoT> kronus_: yeah, i see. that leads me to believe it isn't finding it at all. do lspci and see if it shows up in there
[09:02] <wilsoniya> ok, try this
[09:03] <Dame> Ive just installed Ubuntu for first time. Im wondering whats the default root password since I was no asked for any?
[09:03] <tonyyarusso> !root | Dame
[09:03] <ubotu> Dame: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:03] <kronus_> nnope, don't see it
[09:04] <wilsoniya> sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
[09:04] <kronus_> i'm thinking hardware problem, going to move the card to another slot
[09:04] <Joe_CoT> kronus_ then yeah, it's getting power and nothing else. if it doesn't show up in lspci, i'm not really sure what else there is you could do with it.
[09:04] <wilsoniya> then, sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:04] <Asturia> hi everyone

[09:06] <Joe_CoT> Byan: if the one you want is the first in the list for all the bit depths, and it's not being used, it could be moving down to another in the list, because your horizontal and vertical sync weren't detected correctly
[09:06] <wilsoniya> yup.. just like you see the others
[09:06] <wilsoniya> in the same format
[09:07] <wilsoniya> "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

[09:20] <nnn> but where is php CLI ? $ php4
[09:20] <nnn> bash: php4: command not found
[09:21] <Joe_CoT> damageDOne: phpmyadmin is to administer a mysql server O.o
[09:21] <damageDOne> Joe_CoT: What do I want that for?
[09:21] <Joe_CoT> damageDOne: ...and i'm an idiot. sorry ^_^
[09:21] <wilsoniya> nnn: try sudo apt-get install php4-mysql
[09:21] <zarul>  4089 codefrea  17   0  175m  38m  760 D  0.3 31.0   2:26.04 firefox-bin
[09:21] <nnn> it always installed
[09:21] <zarul> wtf?
[09:21] <wilsoniya> hmm
[09:21] <zarul> firefox is killing  me
[09:22] <zarul> lol
[09:22] <CyTG> looking for a sata controller (pci 32bit/33mhz) can you recommend something ?
[09:22] <Joe_CoT> nnn, tkae everything i just said to damageDOne, and pretend it was to you
[09:22] <damageDOne> Joe_CoT: Oh how do I get rid of mysql now?
[09:23] <OrTigaS> anyone?
[09:23] <damageDOne> Joe_CoT: Do I have to wait for it to finish installing
[09:24] <Joe_CoT> damageDOne: ^_^ sorry! ctrl+c it
[09:24] <Joe_CoT> if it didn't finish downloading, they weren't installed
[09:24] <damageDOne> Joe_CoT: How do I clean it up?
[09:24] <drumline_> Looking for a managed security switch like the Cisco Catalyst, but don't want to pay the huge sum of cash for a Cisco.  Anyone know of a nice switch like that?
[09:25] <Byan> alright
[09:25] <Joe_CoT> damageDOne did it actually start installing? mysql-server is like 25 mb
[09:25] <Byan> cool
[09:25] <Byan> resolution is fixed
[09:25] <wilsoniya> nice
[09:25] <damageDOne> I think it said it 85MB... but I want to get rid of the stuff that has downloaded.
[09:25] <zarul> anyone has experience with any lightweight browser that is  not so buggy?
[09:26] <Byan> why.. is my DNS failing at life
[09:26] <ardchoille42> damageDOne, You want to get rid of downloaded packages?
[09:26] <wilsoniya> byan: that resolution setting plagued me for quite a while.. glad i could save you a little sanity :)
[09:26] <Joe_CoT> damageDOne: sudo rm -f /var/cache/apt/archives/mysql*
[09:27] <Byan> wilsoniya: yeah, thank you
[09:27] <damageDOne> Joe_CoT: Thanks.
[09:27] <Wodger> lynx is stable ;-)
[09:27] <OrTigaS> where can i ping public IP? in xterm?
[09:27] <damageDOne> ardchoille42: Don't worry all sorted.
[09:27] <geoffthefish> does anybody else get an annoying 'your session has been saved' window when they shutdown?
[09:27] <geoffthefish> how do i stop it?
[09:28] <frogzoo> geoffthefish: session option - to save at shutdown
[09:28] <Joe_CoT> damageDOne : as for your actual problem, i don't really know. i also haven't gotten ipods to work in edgy, but i haven't tried very hard. sorry again
[09:28] <Joe_CoT> nnn: is your stuff resolved?
[09:28] <wilsoniya> OrTigas: open an xterm and do a ping <remote address>
[09:28] <nnn> ok I all do as in doc... but why  php4
[09:28] <nnn> bash: php4: command not found
[09:28] <OrTigaS> ok..lemme try
[09:28] <damageDOne> I've followed the howto but it hasn't worked.
[09:28] <rtsai1111> hi
[09:29] <damageDOne> I hate the idea of having to use windows just for an ipod.
[09:29] <zarul> Wodger, yeah lynx is cool
[09:29] <nnn> I get this error only in Zend now
[09:29] <rtsai1111> is there a debian-like "unstable" for ubuntu where I can get stuff newer than edgy?
[09:29] <wilsoniya> I like links2
[09:29] <nnn> maybe I must restart it
[09:29] <zarul> but  too bad I need something more than text-based  browser
[09:29] <nnn> ?
[09:29] <zarul> I have  modified firefox cache size
[09:29] <frogzoo> zarul: links2 is better
[09:29] <zarul> but still never make me  tha happy yet
[09:30] <geoffthefish> frogzoo:  sorry dont see that
[09:30] <OrTigaS> ok.. got it.... but its continues.. how if i just want it to ping 3 times?
[09:30] <geoffthefish> frogzoo:  is it 'ask on logout'?
[09:30] <Joe_CoT> damageDOne: none of the threads in the forums helped?
[09:30] <zarul> frogzoo, so  you tried it before?
[09:30] <wilsoniya> links2 is great for ascii pr0n!!!!!!
[09:30] <frogzoo> geoffthefish: sys -> prefs -> sessions -> session options -> auto save
[09:30] <zarul> lol
[09:31] <zarul> I never use links2 for gui
[09:31] <frogzoo> zarul: no, I just randomly recommend stuff for the fun of it
[09:31] <gnoodle1> Finally got a working system installed... Now new minor problem. I'm trying to mount my windows drives. The manual says to "Open  System->Administration->Disks". Unfortunately, no such entry exists, and I don't see anything similar. Do I need to install something extra?
[09:31] <zarul> lol
[09:31] <wilsoniya> lol
[09:31] <Joe_CoT> well, that sucked. later guys
[09:31] <wilsoniya> bye
[09:31] <geoffthefish> frogzoo:  ah i see, thanks
[09:31] <EnsignRedshirt>
[09:32] <Dame> I cant install some packages. Im trying toget mp3 support but some of the packages I need cant be found. I added the universe and multiverse repositories and everytime when I start Add/Remove it says that the package list is outdated, but I reload all the time. Im doing something wrong?
[09:32] <EnsignRedshirt> gnoodle1: Which version of Ubuntu?  That item exists in dapper (6.06).
[09:32] <zarul> firefox is getting heavier day  by day
[09:32] <Wodger> as are all browsers
[09:32] <gnoodle1> EnsignRedshirt: 6.1
[09:32] <Wodger> my normal computer is powerbook
[09:33] <Wodger> omniweb there can use massive amounts of ram etc
[09:33] <zarul> firefox used to be  the best browser on   this old machine
[09:33] <Wodger> get a older version?
[09:33] <zarul> but  now, it is getting worse...
[09:34] <zarul> Wodger, that's what I am  thinking
[09:34] <EnsignRedshirt> gnoodle1: What manual are you using? Is it for 6.06 or 6.10?
[09:34] <Wodger> features come at a cost
[09:34] <zarul> but maybe there is something new out  there which I missed...
[09:34] <gnoodle1> https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/ch10s02.html
[09:34] <evan_> jj
[09:34] <wilsoniya> zarul: they just gotta lay off the features for a while and concentrate on perf.
[09:34] <Dame> !repositories
[09:34] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[09:34] <wilsoniya> nobody wants to do that cuz its either too hard or not cool
[09:34] <zarul> wilsoniya, exactly
[09:35] <arpan> hi, i have a Microsoft font that I want to install on my system, how do I do it? its Consolas, and I have dloaded the setup.exe file
[09:35] <EnsignRedshirt> Anyone else running edgy? Does System->Admin->Disk exist?
[09:35] <zarul> for me performance is more important than having a cool  features
[09:35] <geo_> so, what mail client do you guys use?
[09:35] <zarul> I  think they should make 2  version  of firefox
[09:35] <frogzoo> EnsignRedshirt: nopers
[09:35] <zarul> one is for performance
[09:35] <wilsoniya> EnsignRedShirt: thats a negative
[09:35] <zarul> and the other with  mambo jumbo  features
[09:35] <wilsoniya> zarul: not a bad idea
[09:35] <EnsignRedshirt> gnoodle1: It looks like the web page is not up-to-date.
[09:36] <wilsoniya> I must admit, i kinda like the spell check of ff2, but it could be implemented as an extension
[09:36] <gnoodle1> Any idea what I need to do to access my files?
[09:36] <zarul> yeah...
[09:36] <frogzoo> gnoodle1: what's the problem?
[09:36] <zarul> they should let users choose whether  they want to add the extension  or otherwise
[09:36] <AgentChemical> well holly fn $hit !
[09:37] <AgentChemical> i can boot from a cd now !
[09:37] <wilsoniya> the only problem is that the en masse consumer can't handle adding stuff... so they'll be like "but ie7 has features xyz!!!!@L#Kj 123"
[09:37] <gandalfcome> I use fglrx on ubuntu edgy. I have my xorg configured for big desktop. The login screen is in big desktop mode but when gnome starts the external lcd goes to distorted clone(i have a laptop ati x700 card). thanks for help
[09:37] <EnsignRedshirt> gnoodle1: Look around in System -> Admin for something similar?  Or maybe a 6.10 user can see if the corresponding function has been moved to a different menu.
[09:37] <KorN[CM] > can someone please help me
[09:37] <KorN[CM] > ive installed xfce
[09:37] <KorN[CM] > not sure how to start it though
[09:37] <gnoodle1> Frogzoo: I'm trying to mount my Windows partitions, but "System->Administration->Disks" (as specified in the manual) doesn't exist
[09:37] <AgentChemical> my god it took me 6 hours to fix this piece of shit
[09:38] <gnoodle1> EnsignRedshirt: Nothing close.
[09:38] <altecmak> can somebody help me
[09:38] <EnsignRedshirt> gnoodle1: The is a command-line way, using the mount command, but I don't know the correct syntax off the top of my head.
[09:39] <frogzoo> !ntfs | gnoodle1
[09:39] <ubotu> gnoodle1: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions. For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[09:39] <AgentChemical> well, i dont know if anyone is registerd on the ubuntu forums cause im not, but i had an issue, that alot of ppl are having and i fixed it....dont know if anyone wants to post something about it
[09:39] <frogzoo> AgentChemical: get better hardware :p
[09:39] <altecmak> im in a lan and would like to communicate to other computers in the terminal (chat) but dont know how
[09:39] <wilsoniya> gnome/nautilus problem: navigating the fs using nautilus randomly pops up a bunch of windows of my home directory... wtf???
[09:40] <BlueDevil> is firefox2 in any dapper repos?
[09:40] <BlueDevil> !firefox2
[09:40] <frogzoo> AgentChemical: was it a kernel issue or an ubuntu issue?
[09:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about firefox2 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:40] <wilsoniya> gnoodle: the ubuntuguide has good methods for doing what you need as well
[09:40] <gnoodle1> Thanks Frogzoo, I'll check that out.
[09:40] <terapicodav1> altecmak: try gaim or xchat
[09:40] <AgentChemical> it was a install issue, cd wouldnt boot
[09:41] <frogzoo> AgentChemical: usually that's acpi problems, was this the case?
[09:41] <tonyyarusso> BlueDevil: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion if not
[09:41] <wilsoniya> anyone have ideas about my nautilus problem?
[09:41] <gnoodle1> ubuntuguide? The manual at has the wrong info.
[09:41] <AgentChemical> nope
[09:41] <gnoodle1> oops at https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/ch10s02.html
[09:41] <BlueDevil> tonyyarusso: yeah, been there, but can't find it in synaptic
[09:41] <OrTigaS> how can i make ping an IP with just only 3 times?
[09:41] <Asturia> can anyone help me in setting up my firewall (iptables), I'm not going to use firestarter for this since I'm setting a server
[09:41] <BlueDevil> i have backports enabled
[09:41] <wilsoniya> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy
[09:41] <frogzoo> OrTigaS: man ping
[09:41] <wilsoniya> search that page for ntfs mounting
[09:41] <tonyyarusso> BlueDevil: It probably isn't - see backporting policy.
[09:42] <gnoodle1> Thanks wilsoniya. Hadn't found that site yet.
[09:42] <AgentChemical> frog, no it wasnt....ill just do a small write up on it and post something
[09:42] <KorN[CM] > ive installed xfce
[09:42] <KorN[CM] > not sure how to start it though
[09:42] <BlueDevil> tonyyarusso: weird then; on the wiki page it says it's available in backports for dapper
[09:42] <wilsoniya> gnoodle1: probably the best resource for random ubuntu crap imo
[09:42] <OrTigaS> hmm man pin
[09:42] <tonyyarusso> BlueDevil: link?
[09:42] <KorN[CM] > can someone help me please?
[09:42] <frogzoo> AgentChemical: best sol'n is to post a bug on launchpad
[09:43] <BlueDevil> tonyyarusso: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy

[09:45] <wilsoniya> *sup
[09:45] <tonyyarusso> KorN[CM] : Did you install minimal originally?
[09:45] <KorN[CM] > yeah i installed server
[09:46] <tonyyarusso> BlueDevil: Hmmmm
[09:47] <tonyyarusso> KorN[CM] : 'sudo invoke-rc.d xdm start'
[09:47] <KorN[CM] > i booted into recovery console
[09:48] <wilsoniya> help w/ a Nautilus problem would be nice
[09:48] <KorN[CM] > doesnt work
[09:48] <KorN[CM] > unknown initscript
[09:48] <evan_>
[09:48] <tonyyarusso> BlueDevil: Seems we have a contradiction in docs, or something
[09:49] <tonyyarusso> KorN[CM] : Did you install xubuntu-desktop or just xfce?
[09:49] <BlueDevil> tonyyarusso: :(
[09:50] <KorN[CM] > im sure I did install xubuntu-desktop
[09:50] <tonyyarusso> BlueDevil: Looking into it with the authorities :)
[09:50] <wilsoniya> good news everybody, the vista boxshots are in... get ready to switch to windows!!!
[09:50] <BlueDevil> was hoping to have a packaged version of firefox2
[09:50] <wilsoniya> http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/46546198/
[09:50] <KorN[CM] > cause it was like 200mb for me to download
[09:50] <BlueDevil> tonyyarusso: thanks :)
[09:50] <KorN[CM] > windows vista sux
[09:50] <KorN[CM] > tried it, hate it
[09:50] <wilsoniya> lol
[09:50] <KorN[CM] > biggest rip off of mac osx EVER
[09:50] <KorN[CM] > tonyyarussoe any ideas??
[09:50] <wilsoniya> i havent tried vista... is it pretty bad?
[09:51] <om-> I'm having repeated blocks in firestarter from port 49152, is this something I should worry about?
[09:51] <KorN[CM] > yeah its all gui thats all
[09:51] <KorN[CM] > eye candy and lacking a lot
[09:51] <wilsoniya> is the search competent?
[09:51] <tonyyarusso> KorN[CM] : 'startxfce'?
[09:51] <frogzoo> wilsoniya: but vista play Halo :(((
[09:51] <maco> wilsoniya, its sort of a lot of hype over a bit of semi-transparency which requires WAY more system resources than something like that should
[09:52] <maco> like, it requires 128mb dedicated video memory
[09:52] <maco> but using beryl/compiz you can get that with 8mb shared
[09:52] <linux_user400354> help, i need to boot my ubuntu edgy computer into single user mode to fix a problem, but when i append "Single" to the boot parameters in grub, ubuntu still boots to gdm the normal way
[09:52] <KorN[CM] > unknown job xfce
[09:52] <wilsoniya> does the new graphics api (avalon?) map all windows over polygons (like osx)_ ?
[09:52] <frogzoo> linux_user400354: is that a capital S ?
[09:52] <maco> linux_user400354, is there an option is "settings" for "single user"?
[09:53] <linux_user400354> frogzoo: yes
[09:53] <frogzoo> linux_user400354: well...
[09:53] <om-> Is Mac OS even good? I just don't like apple because of their elitist commercials
[09:53] <linux_user400354> where are those settings? i dont think so
[09:53] <wilsoniya> om-: i like os x
[09:53] <wilsoniya> its all about what you like
[09:53] <wilsoniya> i just like it cuz its pretty, and you can use all kinds of linux/unix stuff
[09:54] <frogzoo> I like edgy - it's f'n great
[09:54] <maco> linux_user400354, on the login page there should be settings in the lower right corner.  maybe there's an option in there (im not sure what all the options are)
[09:54] <KorN[CM] > i hate osx
[09:54] <KorN[CM] > hey tony
[09:54] <wilsoniya> some of the software that comes w/ osx is amazing
[09:54] <KorN[CM] > i rebooted, it loads up the mouse image (showing status of loading)
[09:54] <KorN[CM] > then screen goes into "off" mode
[09:54] <tonyyarusso> KorN[CM] : ah, ok
[09:54] <KorN[CM] > orange light on monitor
[09:54] <KorN[CM] > and then, nothing
[09:54] <tonyyarusso> weird
[09:54] <Dame> I cant start exaile and this is the error message: http://pastebin.com/861094
[09:54] <wilsoniya> but, if you don't care about artsy fartsy crap then you're not missing much
[09:54] <tonyyarusso> KorN[CM] : Not sure what to do mate
[09:54] <linux_user400354> om-: frogzoo should it not be?
[09:54] <osfameron> I enjoy annoying mac fanboys by suggesting buying a macbook and installing ubuntu on it
[09:54] <frogzoo> linux_user400354: correct
[09:54] <KorN[CM] > hm there was an optioon before about choosing screen res
[09:55] <osfameron> they say things like "why buy champagne flutes to drink coke out of?!" which is always amusing
[09:55] <wilsoniya> osfameron: lol
[09:55] <om-> should what not be?
[09:55] <frogzoo> osfameron: the core 2 duo lappies look sweet
[09:55] <wilsoniya> i have a macbook
[09:55] <KorN[CM] > aggg
[09:55] <wilsoniya> its nice
[09:55] <osfameron> frogzoo: not sure about the keyboards though
[09:55] <lotacus> oh wow, this locale setting is pretty good
[09:56] <JoKoT3> hello, you people alive ? :p
[09:56] <wilsoniya> theres an os x app called MacSabre, which makes light sabre noises using the sudden motion sensor
[09:56] <frogzoo> osfameron: yeah, dunno, not in the market for a new lappie yet
[09:56] <JoKoT3> yeah !!
[09:56] <frogzoo> wilsoniya: clearly an essential desktop app
[09:56] <JoKoT3> #ubuntu-fr is sleeping :D
[09:56] <JoKoT3> the whole channel
[09:56] <wilsoniya> frogzoo: right on
[09:56] <osfameron> frogzoo: I would be except I just ordered a Nokia N800 tablet, and that ate into my gadget budget a bit
[09:57] <JoKoT3> I should ask my  question
[09:57] <hsm> yeah
[09:57] <n30n> wine client error:d: version mismatch 261/263.
[09:57] <n30n> Your wineserver binary was not upgraded correctly,
[09:57] <n30n> or you have an older one somewhere in your PATH.
[09:57] <n30n> Or maybe the wrong wineserver is still running?
[09:58] <frogzoo> n30n: did you delete your ~/.wine before upgrading wine ?
[09:58] <n30n> frogzoo: no sir
[09:58] <frogzoo> n30n: also, I recommend you get wine from the budgetdedicated repo, it's much more up to date
[09:58] <JoKoT3> Is anybody have already encounter problem while installing ubuntu (edgy, dapper) on a box with an AIC-7896 scsi controller ?
[09:59] <frogzoo> !wine | n30n
[09:59] <ubotu> n30n: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[09:59] <wilsoniya> anybody know of any linux FPS's like nexuiz ?
[09:59] <wilsoniya> or better?

[10:00] <mneptok> wilsoniya: Wolf:ET
[10:00] <wilsoniya> quake iii is classic
[10:00] <garryFre> I found a big horrible bug in Linux!!! ......
[10:00] <garryFre> Hhehe, Just joking!
[10:01] <wilsoniya> garryFre: it's written by commies trying to end capitalism and encourage pedophilia?!?!
[10:01] <mneptok> !offtopic
[10:01] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!

[10:01] <garryFre> heh
[10:02] <om-> can you just apt-get install quake3 and it works? or does it require tons of config
[10:02] <lotacus> how would I add refresh rates to the screen resolution?
[10:03] <n30n> My sources.list is already set to budgetdedicated
[10:03] <wilsoniya> all i see is quake 2 in the repo
[10:03] <n30n> for wine
[10:03] <mick666> How the ubuntu's developers use for this software? C,C++,Java, Assembler?
[10:03] <garryFre> Its pretty simple, I think the version I had dind't have the music but there are versions for wine and for just straight linux

[10:04] <rabidphage> greetings
[10:05] <rabidphage> what is the key combination to save in nano?
[10:05] <rabidphage> thanks in advance
[10:05] <garryFre> might be ctrl k s
[10:05] <garryFre> don't quote me on that tho
[10:05] <wilsoniya> ctrl w
[10:05] <wilsoniya> [writeout]
[10:06] <wilsoniya> sorry ctrl o
[10:06] <rabidphage> is that synonymous with save of save as?
[10:06] <rabidphage> ???
[10:06] <wilsoniya> it is more like save as
[10:06] <mneptok> rabidphage: sudo aptitude install ne
[10:06] <wilsoniya> you can always save under a diff name each time you do a ctrl o
[10:07] <mneptok> rabidphage: that editor will probably be more intuitive for a GUI person than is nano
[10:07] <tonyyarusso> rabidphage: Ctrl O, yes.
[10:07] <rabidphage> can't coz i'm ssh
[10:07] <gnoodle1> One more question, then bedtime... My mouse (Logitech mx610 USB) is very "twitchy". It doesn't want to move in a smooth way. I've tried adjusting the setting in the mouse control panel, but they don't seem make any difference to this (they do effect the speed, but not the "twitchiness"). Any suggestions to make the mouse smoother?
[10:07] <rabidphage> and head less
[10:07] <wilsoniya> nano is quite simple
[10:07] <wilsoniya> ne
[10:08] <mneptok> rabidphage: sudo aptitude install ne
[10:08] <garryFre> Is it a rollerball mouse?
[10:08] <mojojojo__> what can I do if the universal repo is buggy, i mean I'm trying to install a package but the dependency require are such that they need older version
[10:08] <mneptok> rabidphage: ^^^ this is a terminal command ^^ ;)
[10:08] <gnoodle1> Laser.
[10:08] <garryFre> Yep, pebkac error
[10:08] <snail> can anyone recommend any application in ubuntu that does grammar checking?
[10:08] <gnoodle1> The mouse works great under Windows.
[10:08] <rabidphage> ctrl o prompts for file name with a bunch of commands
[10:08] <snail> garryFre: have you checked that it's free of dust and gunk in the wheel?
[10:09] <garryFre> Yep, I had a laser mouse go defective, also salt and other crystaline stuff can cuse it to go nuts.
[10:09] <rabidphage> what do i do?
[10:09] <wilsoniya> rabidphage: you can just type in a name... or if you've already saved, just hit enter and it'll use the same name
[10:09] <gnoodle1> It's not bad, I can reboot to Windows and it works fine.
[10:09] <rabidphage> thanks
[10:09] <garryFre> snail my mouse is ok. now.
[10:10] <rabidphage> just to be sure coz i don't want to mess up my first lamp install.. he he he
[10:10] <terapicodav1> gnoodle1: are you running through a kvm switch?
[10:11] <rabidphage> see ya guys.. peace and love
[10:11] <gnoodle1> Nope. Just straight to the USB port.
[10:11] <oFF-beAt> need to configure a bluetooth connection,., my fone can detect my desktop pc.. need some help on pc side
[10:11] <garryFre> !bluetooth
[10:11] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[10:11] <terapicodav1> gnoodle1: does it skip around the screen or just act jerky/
[10:11] <oFF-beAt> thanx garryFre
[10:12] <gnoodle1> It does seem like it's under-sensitive, but I adjested the sensitivity setting all the way to the top.
[10:12] <gnoodle1> Jerky mostly.
[10:12] <garryFre> oFF-beAt welcome
[10:12] <wilsoniya> gnoodle1: what's your system load at when it gets jerkky?
[10:13] <gnoodle1> 0.10 load-- not much running and it's a brand new install
[10:13] <terapicodav1> i've noticed something similar when I have another usb device working hard
[10:13] <terapicodav1> but it's just freezy not jerky
[10:13] <wilsoniya> input device problems are a pita
[10:14] <gnoodle1> It's definitely not a load issue, and I have nothing else currently hooked up to USB
[10:15] <AnAnt> hello, I setup compiz on edgy and it is working
[10:15] <m1shawhan> I actually like ubuntu but I need to remove it from this hard drive...does anyone know of a quick easy way to do this without format?
[10:15] <gnoodle1> Even 'jerky' doesn't seem quite right. Twitchy seems better. It seems to be either over- or under-sensitive to the texture on my desk. Works fine in Windows, though.
[10:15] <AnAnt> except that I can't zoom & do desktop rotation , how to do that ?
[10:15] <gnoodle1> It's not a huge deal, just very annoying.
[10:16] <mneptok> gnoodle1: http://www.bjorn3d.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-11058.html
[10:16] <terapicodav1> wonder if there's some sort of usbspy
[10:16] <qt> can some one show me the proper syntax for tar --exclude?
[10:16] <wilsoniya> gnoodle1: i can't help a whole lot.. but i remember the xorg setup utility asking questions about mouse types, etc... you might google abou tit
[10:16] <mneptok> gnoodle1: looks like lag issues are not confined to Linux.
[10:17] <steelb> is it feasible to run games through VMWare... i need a way to run some of my favorite games that don't work with Wine (Rise of Nations)
[10:18] <wilsoniya> steelb: i do not believe vmware provides 3d accelleration
[10:18] <steelb> ouch
[10:18] <wilsoniya> steelb: google that though
[10:19] <steelb> yea... its not really useful for games... any way to run those games though?
[10:19] <gnoodle1> Thanks mneptok, but that doesn't seem to apply. I've had the mouse for a year or so and it's been trouble free. It's not  a reception issue. Like I said, it's not really lag, just seems under-sensitive.
[10:19] <aalhamad> hi ..
[10:19] <frogzoo> steelb: action games in vmware is a non starter
[10:19] <enaut> i tried to recover my partitiontable therefore i used gpart and i sucessfull recovered 2 out of 3 partitions since there were only 3 and the space was fully used i thought that the rest of the space must be the third so i made a partition in the empty space (with QTparted) but when loked wether it worked on the new partition were all datas of the NTFS partition whereas the NTFS partition is completely empty exept for an empty folder lost an
[10:19] <enaut> d found :( qtparted couldn't have moved all the Data because it finished it's actions i some seconds. I really don't know what  happened.
[10:19] <aalhamad> how can i install kunbuntu desktop .. with all it packages?
[10:19] <terapicodav1> gnoodle1: i've had to hit reconnect sometimes with mine and other times had to move the power cable and what not...wireless is still iffy for me
[10:20] <aalhamad> how can i install kunbuntu desktop .. with all it packages?
[10:21] <wilsoniya> g'night everyone. good luck w/ all your probs, and happy ubuntuing
[10:21] <enaut> alhamad apt-get install kubuntu-desktop should work
[10:22] <aalhamad> usually do people use both or only one?
[10:22] <m1shawhan> anyone know of an easy way to remove ubuntu?
[10:22] <aalhamad> is it recommended to use both?
[10:22] <wilsoniya> aalhamad: use whichever you're most comfortable with
[10:22] <wilsoniya> or both
[10:23] <aalhamad> is it recommended to use both (for some packages integration)?
[10:23] <enaut> anyone there who knows what happened with my partitions?
[10:24] <wilsoniya> well, you can run both gnome and kde apps on both desktops... the package management allows you to pretty much do whatever you want
[10:24] <frogzoo> how come azureus on edgy is still broken?
[10:24] <wilsoniya> i run kde apps from gnome all the time
[10:24] <wilsoniya> frogzoo: whats broken about it?
[10:24] <oFF-beAt> blue tooth file sharing.. does not respond.. searching for devices in commands line with "sudo hidd --search"  return nothing
[10:24] <frogzoo> wilsoniya: it starts up & craps out
[10:24] <wilsoniya> I have problems with it, but not that
[10:24] <aalhamad> thanks :)
[10:24] <EnsignRedshirt> frogzoo: If it is not a security issue, it may never get fixed.
[10:24] <wilsoniya> np
[10:25] <aalhamad> whats the size of the desktop?
[10:25] <frogzoo> EnsignRedshirt: oh noes..
[10:25] <wilsoniya> aalhamad: like in MB?
[10:25] <aalhamad> yeah?
[10:25] <wilsoniya> i don't know.. i think synaptic could tell you that
[10:25] <wilsoniya> but...
[10:25] <frogzoo> EnsignRedshirt: k, I may buckle & install from source
[10:25] <wilsoniya> installing kde will entail install many many packages
[10:25] <aalhamad> around 40 MB?
[10:26] <gnoodle1> m1shawhan: Just format the partition
[10:26] <wilsoniya> allhamad: that could be right.. probably less than 100
[10:26] <AzMoo> Hey, I'm trying to upgrade to feisty, but every time I try it tells me "Authentication failed". Any ideas how to fix that?
[10:26] <aalhamad> ok thanks :)
[10:26] <m1shawhan> through dos? no way to just put in there an uninstall command or other?
[10:26] <wilsoniya> just install another OS over ubuntu
[10:26] <frogzoo> AzMoo: feist is NOT an upgrade - feisty is horribly alpha & will break
[10:26] <wilsoniya> the OS's installer will give you a chance to repartition
[10:27] <m1shawhan> :(thats what I'm trying to avoid
[10:27] <gnoodle1> You can't just uninstall, since Windows won't recognize the Linux partition.
[10:27] <enyc> somebody please remoind me what package i need to regonfigure for setting the console keyboard-layout ;-)
[10:27] <frogzoo> AzMoo: but if you still wish to persist -> #ubuntu+1
[10:27] <m1shawhan> thats what I was afraid of...thanks!
[10:28] <AzMoo> frogzoo, Oh, I see. Lots of people seem to be playing with it. I just wanted to try beryl.
[10:28] <gnoodle1> np
[10:28] <m1shawhan> lol..wish me luck
[10:28] <frogzoo> AzMoo: beryl is doable on edgy
[10:28] <frogzoo> !beryl
[10:28] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl
[10:28] <enaut> i had it working on edgy
[10:28] <wilsoniya> gnoodle1: you can actually read ext3 from windoze w/ some upgrades
[10:29] <AzMoo> frogzoo, nice one, thankyou :)
[10:29] <mneptok> wilsoniya: rw
[10:29] <wilsoniya> ... not sure off the top of my head
[10:29] <wilsoniya> i think both
[10:29] <enaut> still nobody Knows what problem is in my partition table?
[10:29] <mneptok> wilsoniya: i'm sure. it's rw. :)
[10:30] <wilsoniya> http://www.fs-driver.org/ for anyone who's interested
[10:30] <oFF-beAt> :D thanx ubuntu is grea.,. it works
[10:31] <enyc> i have this bivarre problem in ubuntu-edgy packaging having now upgraded to edgy...
[10:31] <enyc> "belocs-locales-bin: Conflicts: base-config but 2.76 is to be installed" "locales: Conflicts: base-config but 2.76 is to be installed"
[10:32] <wilsoniya> i'm like 99% sure i know this: is there any way to play encrypted aac in lin ?
[10:32] <gnoodle1> Wilsoniya: I was assuming that wasn't what he wanted
[10:32] <enyc> wilsoniya: I think that can be done with vlc
[10:32] <gnoodle1> Frogzoo: Beryl looks cool. How stable is it?
[10:32] <wilsoniya> enyc: to clarify, i mean itunes encrypted aac files
[10:32] <enyc> wilsoniya: but you generally best to use qtfairuse6 not-in-linux to decrypt the files ;-)
[10:32] <enaut> not too much
[10:33] <enyc> wilsoniya: you have to do something to get the keys into a .vlc something file which can then be used to decrypt the files when playing... or you can use qtfairuse6 to decrypt all the files so there is no problem
[10:33] <frogzoo> gnoodle1: dunno, wobbly windows are overrated :D
[10:34] <enaut> gnoodlel not too stable but its doing its job
[10:34] <wilsoniya> frogzoo: agreed. cool for 2 hrs after you show your friends..
[10:34] <enaut> ok i'll go off now doing real world stuff cu
[10:34] <gnoodle1> Sounds about right.
[10:34] <concept10> gnoodle1, ive never seen beryl crash, its stable enough
[10:35] <wilsoniya> peace out yall... keep on truckin
[10:35] <mneptok> personally, i don't use or recommend compositing, ATM.
[10:36] <aalhamad> how can i set a diffrent theme in my desktops
[10:36] <aalhamad> every desktop has a diffrent them?
[10:36] <aalhamad> every desktop has a diffrent theme?
[10:36] <mneptok> aalhamad: System -> Prefs -> Theme
[10:36] <aalhamad> yeah but if i change that all my desktops shall have the same theme.
[10:37] <aalhamad> i want all my desktop to have diffrent themes?
[10:37] <concept10> aalhamad, you cant do that unless you do some hacking
[10:37] <aalhamad> how?
[10:38] <aalhamad> no .. hacking might  cause damage to my kernel..
[10:38] <aalhamad> i guess ill add a user ..
[10:39] <aalhamad> and change it theme
[10:39] <concept10> aalhamad, if you have to ask, you will not be able to get it done.  A GNOME theme changes controls etc, are you saying you want different controls for every _virtual_desktop? or different background
[10:39] <aalhamad> all of them..
[10:40] <bayziders> in amarok when i click on a .mp3 song( I have the plug in installed) the song will not start. What is wrong?
[10:40] <Flannel> bayziders: have you installed mp3 codecs?
[10:40] <hd420> where's the python-curses deb file?
[10:41] <bayziders> Flannel: how do i do that
[10:41] <emxsi> whats the size of the 6.06 repository excluding the security?
[10:41] <bayziders>  libxine-extracodecs ?
[10:41] <Flannel> bayziders: correct
[10:41] <linux_user400354> frogzoo: i got into single user mode. i was reading a redhat webpage about booting to single user mode and it was wrong. it said to use a capital S.
[10:42] <AzMoo> haha, this looks awesome.
[10:42] <AzMoo> frogzoo, cheers
[10:42] <Flannel> linux_user400354: single user mode for ubuntu is available at the grub prompt (recovery kernel)
[10:42] <Asturia> I have a firewall script that needs to be started as boot. How do I do that?
[10:43] <Jimmey> I've got two hard drives separate to the one that Ubuntu's installed on, and they're both mounted to the desktop. I can't rename them to make the name tags go away (I'd prefer to rename them), but I want them to be removed from the desktop - How can I do that?
[10:44] <smejky> Asturia: add path to /etc/rc.local before exit 0
[10:45] <bayziders> yay it worker, k now im happy.
[10:46] <Jimmey> Sorry, they're not mounted on the desktop - They're mounted in /media/, but there are icons on the desktop
[10:46] <Asturia> smejky: I understand that, but it's not really a script, more of a config file with all the settings for the firewall.
[10:46] <oFF-beAt> ok, i can recieve files from my fone to pc fine.. now how do i send to fone from pc?
[10:48] <Arcad3> whats new in Ubuntu world?..
[10:48] <bayziders> How do i change grubs gui to something not so basic
[10:48] <Jimmey> bayziders, you can change the colours - That's it
[10:49] <Arcad3> i saw a gui in SuSe
[10:49] <Arcad3> something like that can be done in Ubunu?
[10:49] <oFF-beAt> i need to get obexserver right?
[10:50] <bayziders> jimmey ; k how
[10:51] <Jimmey> bayziders, "gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" in a terminal, read what it says about the colours first
[10:52] <hassel> anyone who can help a first time ubuntu user??
[10:52] <bezibaerchen> anyone around who's firm with the xen-bug?
[10:53] <pty> hassel: whats the problem?
[10:53] <erUSUL> Asturia: copy the script to /etc/init.d/ make it executable and use update-rc.d to add it to the init system
[10:54] <erUSUL> Asturia: btw i recomend you to use something like firehol or shorewall instead of a hand crafted firewall. they are easy to set up and more powerfull
[10:54] <linux_user400354> Flannel: okay thanks. ill remember that next time.
[10:54] <erUSUL> Asturia: se here for example http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/firehol.htm
[10:54] <hassel> Pty, ok, i think ive solved the problem, thanks anyway
[11:00] <theosk> Hi people! Let's see if someone may help me :P
[11:01] <theosk> I made a shell script, chmod it so it can run (it does run in terminal) but it doesn't do anything when I double clic it in nautilus, it just opens an empty terminal
[11:01] <linux_user400354> does john crack faster if it is launched with nice -n -20 john passfile?
[11:02] <mneptok> theosk: first line of the script?
[11:02] <theosk> !#/bin/bash
[11:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bin/bash - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:03] <beginn3r> how come #xubuntu is so quiet?
[11:03] <mneptok> beginn3r: uses fewer resources that way.
[11:03] <grub_booter> theosk: #!/usr/bin/env bash might be better?
[11:03] <mneptok> *rimshot*
[11:04] <bluefox83> anyone know why an nfs server would refuse connection to the ip that is set to connect to it?
[11:05] <bluefox83> ie <IP_ADDRESS> is suppose to connect to <IP_ADDRESS> but when *.100 tries connecting..it refuses the connection...
[11:06] <ddwagnz> gekki
[11:06] <ddwagnz> hello*
[11:06] <theosk>  #!/usr/bin/env doesn't work for me even in terminal :P
[11:06] <oFF-beAt> where do i put a bunch of commands to automatically execute when the pc starts?
[11:06] <AzMoo> So in the beryl options, for key settings it's got a "super" option, along with "ctrl" "alt" "shift" etc. Wtf is the super button?
[11:06] <andcor> oFF-beAt: /etc/init.d/rc.ocal
[11:07] <ddwagnz> i have a question about using the live cd, is it possiable to run linux based app's from somewhere on a harddrive that has windows on it?
[11:07] <andcor> oFF-beAt: or in the session management in gnome
[11:07] <grub_booter> theosk: #!/usr/bin/env bash
[11:08] <andcor> ddwagnz: it should be
[11:08] <ddwagnz> so really browsing the hdd,,,,,,,
[11:08] <ddwagnz> as i have been trying this afternoon but so far unsuccessful
[11:08] <grub_booter> theosk: env will locate the real location of bash rather than assuming it...
[11:08] <ddwagnz> its more like  a access problem really "dont have permission to view blah blah blah"
[11:08] <mneptok> ddwagnz: the lack of NTFS write will be an issue
[11:09] <theosk> the location of bash is right, the script runs at prompt but not by double clicking on it
[11:09] <ddwagnz> hmmmm
[11:09] <ddwagnz> is there a way to overcome it?
[11:09] <andcor> NTFS can be writable, but it is unsafe
[11:10] <ddwagnz> hmmm
[11:10] <bornholme> andcor, in which way unsafe?
[11:10] <m0ns00n> Hey!
[11:10] <m0ns00n> I just installed an app, but it doesn't install in /usr/bin
[11:10] <m0ns00n> Is there a way to find where this app has gone?
[11:10] <bayziders> what would you guys recommend for a free website hosting service with free webspace that would let people download my files from links?
[11:10] <m0ns00n> a dpkg-somethingsomething command or something like that
[11:10] <incorrect> im trying to backport subversion,  for some reason it tells me that building as root is not supported
[11:10] <andcor> can't  you use partition magic to reformat the partition to fat ?
[11:10] <beginn3r> anyone knows any fix around for this issue
[11:10] <beginn3r> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/66860
[11:11] <bluefox83> !nfs
[11:11] <ubotu> nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[11:11] <ddwagnz> i would really like to format the hdd but its a family computer and i might get into shit with fam lol
[11:11] <incorrect> very strange i can't compile subversion as root
[11:11] <frogzoo> incorrect: look into fakeroot
[11:11] <incorrect> frogzoo: already using that
[11:12] <andcor> bornholme: there are no real support and garanty on it
[11:12] <sorush20> hi
[11:12] <andcor> bornholme: Haven't tried it, so i don't know how it works
[11:13] <TooR4u> is there any free linux server accounts?
[11:13] <incorrect> is there a guide to backporting?
[11:13] <McMadd> Is it possible to "launch" a (console) application on the actual display through SSH? (Launch it remotely, have the output on the actual display)
[11:13] <sorush20> I'm using kubuntu right now and I want to just install the gnome desktop environment nothing more.. I don't want extra packages.. like abiword am epiphany, eog, or ekiga or these othere application..
[11:13] <sorush20> is there any way that I could do this ?
[11:13] <bornholme> andcor, yea okay.. im using ntfs-3g since 2 days now, on an external usb disc for storage. So I might see if its stable the hard way real soon :p
[11:13] <ddwagnz> bbl
[11:14] <andcor> bornholme: ok, make sure that you have taken backup of the disc before you try
[11:14] <TooR4u> is there any free linux server accounts?
[11:14] <andcor> TooR4u: What do you meen ?
[11:15] <andcor> which type of server do du need ?
[11:15] <andcor> do you need
[11:15] <theosk> well, my problem solved itself alone xDDD
[11:15] <McMadd> Is it possible to "launch" a (console) application on the actual display through SSH? (Launch it remotely, have the output on the actual display)
[11:15] <McMadd> Or take over a screen (non-X)
[11:16] <andcor> McMadd: yes
[11:16] <mdeboer> McMadd sure. ssh -X
[11:17] <andcor> McMadd: and in windows you can installl cygwin and enable X11 forwarding in putty
[11:17] <mdeboer> McMadd: you will need "X11Forwarding yes
[11:17] <mdeboer> " in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[11:17] <PhibreOptix> Can anybody here help me with a WINE performance problem?
[11:17] <TooR4u> andcor, i want some server account that should be free .....(because my friend wants to send some data to me ..)
[11:17] <McMadd> But it's non X?
[11:17] <McMadd> Hold on, I try to explain
[11:17] <andcor> Which type of server +
[11:17] <oFF-beAt> can i install MSI StarCam 370i on ubuntu ?
[11:17] <mdeboer> McMadd: no, it's X
[11:18] <McMadd> But I need it non X, I'll explain:...
[11:18] <bornholme> andcor: Second thoughts, I think id better format it to ext3 before I get too much valuable data on the disc.. would hate too loose it all.
[11:18] <bayziders> on amaork when i go to add lyrics it tells me that kfmclien can not be found how do i fix this
[11:18] <bluefox83> what package do i need to do a dns lookup?
[11:18] <andcor> bornholme: Jeg forstr dig helt sikkert ;-)
[11:18] <bornholme> :p
[11:19] <andcor> TooR4u: Just some server to make sure you can send data ?
[11:19] <oFF-beAt> lol, i pug in my cam.. and all the usb removable storage devices vanished
[11:19] <oFF-beAt> *plug
[11:19] <TooR4u> yssss
[11:19] <McMadd> I've got several machines running without keyboard/mouse. I need the output of a console app on the actual display. So we're not talking about X or any desktop environment. Just the plain "terminal/console"
[11:19] <TooR4u> andcor, i think some advantage ... if i have some server account
[11:19] <andcor> TooR4u: Well, then just about any free internet site with ftp should work
[11:20] <TooR4u> andcor, yah... i google it .....
[11:20] <mdeboer> McMadd: text you mean?
[11:20] <TooR4u> But i am not able to find that
[11:20] <McMadd> yep
[11:20] <andcor> I know that there are an danish service called frac.dk
[11:21] <mdeboer> McMadd: so, just ssh  to that machine, and run the application should work
[11:21] <andcor> where there are free webhosting
[11:21] <andcor> and ftp
[11:21] <TooR4u> ohh 1min .. lemme see
[11:21] <McMadd> But I need another person to see the output on location. (I'm loggin in remotely)
[11:22] <mdeboer> McMadd: you want to see the same application on 2 screens?
[11:22] <bluefox83> i need the dns of a computer on my network..how do i get it?
[11:22] <mdeboer> bluefox83: are you sure you mean dns?
[11:23] <tonyyarusso> McMadd: 'screen' is the most awesome thing you'll hear about today :)
[11:23] <McMadd> I know it sounds strange but it's a touchscreen and I need to launch the calibration app.
[11:23] <sorush20> can I rung kubuntu apps in gnome desktop?
[11:23] <tonyyarusso> McMadd: You can easily see it both places with that app
[11:23] <tonyyarusso> sorush20: yes
[11:23] <bluefox83> i think so..i gotta add something to a file so nfs will allow the other computer to connect
[11:24] <McMadd> tonyyarusso: Hmm... I've been using screen on another location but isn't that more like virtual consoles?
[11:25] <[ubuntu] biz__>
[11:25] <TooR4u> andcor, But the language is not english ... i cant understand it .. :(
[11:25] <tonyyarusso> McMadd: It had many uses.  'screen -x' lets you connect to the same session from multiple places.
[11:25] <andcor> I know, but I don't know any english sites, sorry
[11:26] <agabus> where should i set the install path for Flash 9 for linux? what directory is firefox installed in? i.e - /usr/lib/mozilla ?
[11:26] <TooR4u> agabus, no ... /home/.../.mozilla
[11:26] <andcor> have my own server now, but haven't got any upload
[11:26] <TooR4u> andcor, ohh ... did u pay the money?
[11:27] <agabus> TooR4u - k, thanks
[11:27] <TooR4u> for hosting
[11:27] <TooR4u> ?
[11:27] <andcor> the money ?
[11:27] <andcor> no, I have build my own
[11:27] <McMadd> tonyyarusso: Ok, so I start up the machine which automatically logs in and sits there waiting with an active prompt on tty1. Now I can SSH into that machine (remotely) and connect to that session using screen?
[11:27] <TooR4u> andcor, ohhh
[11:28] <tonyyarusso> McMadd: You have to start a screen session initially on the first login, but then yes.
[11:28] <andcor> gotta go
[11:28] <capiira> hi all, anyone know if there is a way to let ubuntu 6.10 shutdown quicker?
[11:28] <andcor> see ya
[11:28] <TooR4u> ok
[11:28] <TooR4u> byee
[11:28] <ciscosurfer> capiira: how long does it take you?
[11:28] <McMadd> Ah, I get it.. and then I can "hijack" that screen session on my SSH connection
[11:28] <Mez> does anyone here have experience with writing udev rules?
[11:29] <agabus> TooR4u - the Flash 9 installer says, /home/matthew/.mozilla is not a valid installation path?
[11:29] <capiira> after the loadbar animnation gets empty it takes 45 sec
[11:29] <TooR4u> agabus, u have to put the plugin in plugin folder
[11:29] <smartman> guys how i can mount fat32 partion plase ?
[11:29] <agabus> TooR4u - which is located where?
[11:29] <capiira> so together around 1,30 min or so
[11:29] <tonyyarusso> !fat32 | smartman
[11:29] <ubotu> smartman: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[11:29] <ciscosurfer> capiira: interesting...
[11:29] <smartman> ya tonyyarusso>
[11:29] <TooR4u> ~/.mozilla/plugins
[11:30] <capiira> yeah
[11:30] <TooR4u> agabus,
[11:30] <ciscosurfer> capiira: no idea, sorry :-(
[11:30] <[ubuntu] biz__> hidden folder
[11:30] <capiira> i found something about teardown but i dont really understand this
[11:30] <smartman> ok ubotu thanks for help
[11:30] <[ubuntu] biz__> ctrl-H
[11:30] <agabus> TooR4u - within .mozilla/ there is only the directory firefox, which has no plugin folder?
[11:30] <TooR4u> agabus, if u dont have that folder then create that folder
[11:30] <smartman> i'll try and come agien
[11:30] <gandalfcome> I use fglrx on ubuntu edgy. I have my xorg configured for big desktop. The login screen is in big desktop mode but when gnome starts the external lcd goes to distorted clone(i have a laptop ati x700 card). thanks for help
[11:30] <geokok> What does "nvidia-xconfig -no composite" do (installation of drivers from ubuntu repos)? Will it be a problem if I try to install beryl with latest drivers?
[11:31] <agabus> TooR4u - but i already have a version of Flash installed and working, where would that be installed?
[11:31] <TooR4u> 1m
[11:31] <capiira> see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Teardown
[11:31] <incorrect> is there a guide to setting up your own private repository?
[11:32] <capiira> but i down really understand what they mean with teardown
[11:32] <tonyyarusso> incorrect: I'm sure there is, but I don't have a link.  However, a couple of folks around here have done so.
[11:32] <TooR4u> agabus, i have my plugin in ~/.mozilla/plugin folder
[11:32] <incorrect> i just want to have an easy way to deploy my private compiles
[11:33] <agabus> TooR4u - interesting
[11:33] <concept10> incorrect, lookup falcon
[11:33] <tonyyarusso> incorrect: Seveas put together a tool called falcon
[11:33] <McMadd> Here's another one! There are two displays attached to these machines (dual screen works perfect in X) but when i'm not in X (console) only one screen works (normal behaviour). Is there a way to use the second display to? I'm thinking about something like "clone"
[11:33] <incorrect> thank you
[11:34] <[ubuntu] biz__> cd .mozilla/firefox
[11:34] <concept10> incorrect, its in the repos
[11:34] <incorrect> cool searching for it now
[11:34] <concept10> !falcon
[11:34] <ubotu> falcon: Falcon repository creator. In component extras, is optional. Version 1.5.4-0ubuntu2 (edgy-seveas), package size 175 kB, installed size 508 kB

[11:37] <Atom-> is there a command to use to find out how much space is taken up on a HDD through console/ssh
[11:37] <mdeboer> ciscosurfer: settings / advances / URL handlers

[11:38] <[ubuntu] biz__> df -h
[11:38] <hotti> atom-: you mean df -h?

[11:38] <Atom-> ty too hotti
[11:41] <agabus> TooR4u - turns out its actually /usr/lib/firefox i read that on a digg.com comment
[11:41] <McMadd> There are two displays attached to a machine (dual screen works perfect in X) but when i'm not in X (console) only one screen works (normal behaviour). Is there a way to use the second display to? I'm thinking about something like "clone"

[12:17] <jzitt> Hi, all. I just upgraded from Dapper to Edgy on a Compaq Presario M2000, and X no longer works. Any clues/suggestions?
[12:18] <sapage> what is the startup script in ubuntu?
[12:19] <SzArAk> there is no one central script
[12:19] <SzArAk> tthere is a set of it
[12:19] <Vuen> hi, how do i make the ls command show only directories? i want a list of all the directories in the current directory, but no files
[12:19] <SzArAk> check /etc/init.d/ and /etc/rc*
[12:19] <sapage> yep ta
[12:20] <sapage> i want to load  a script when the computer starts that is all
[12:20] <AnAnt> I am trying to mount an NFS partition, but I get this error: "mount: RPC: Timed out"
[12:21] <SzArAk> sapage: make s script, put it in /etc/init.d/ directory
[12:21] <SzArAk> sapage: and then do: update-rc.d name_of_script defaults
[12:21] <sapage> ok
[12:21] <SzArAk> if any problems check man update-rc.d
[12:22] <Serap1> Hi, does anyone know some command to get root rights in scratchbox?
[12:24] <EnsignRedshirt> Vuen: Here's one way: ls -p | grep "/$"
[12:24] <jzitt> I've read several web pages on things that are supposed to work to support X for the M2000, but they seem contradictory, and it's wierd that it broke when I updated to Edgy.
[12:25] <WebMaven_> OK< so the answer is gparted. Thanks.
[12:30] <Serap1>  what exactly means :"must be setuid root"?
[12:32] <jzitt> If I can't get X to work in Edgy, would there be a way to drop back to Dapper?
[12:32] <ikonia> no
[12:34] <jzitt> Hrmm. I may have to find tools to do the project in Windows, then, since I seem to be hosed Linux-wise.
[12:34] <ikonia> ok
[12:35] <frogzoo_> jzitt: what project?
[12:36] <MarcN> jzitt: what is the video card?
[12:36] <jzitt> Well, I'm working on a music project that I'd been intending to do in Rosegarden -- but when I updated my Presario M2000 from Dapper to Edgy, X died
[12:36] <ikonia> jzitt try fixing X or re-installing dapper
[12:36] <mneptok> jzitt: have you run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[12:36] <EnsignRedshirt> jzitt: Any chance that you have a copy of the X config file from your dapper install?
[12:38] <fly_80> hello all
[12:38] <sorush20> hi
[12:38] <sorush20> I keep getting this error people could someone help please?
[12:39] <ikonia> tell us the error
[12:39] <ikonia> how can we help if you just tell us your having "an error"
[12:39] <jzitt> I don't think I have the config file from the dapper, unless it was automagically saved someplace.
[12:39] <ikonia> jzitt nope
[12:39] <mneptok> jzitt: have you run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? (x2) :)
[12:39] <fly_80> i have a problem with setting key after the installation of wusb54g driver
[12:39] <fly_80> with ndiswrapper
[12:40] <fly_80> I get this: Error for wireless Request "Set Encode" (8B2A): Set failed on eth2; Unknown error 524
[12:40] <sorush20> http://pastebin.com/861171
[12:40] <ikonia> sorry I can't read URL's from my current location
[12:41] <jzitt> mneptok: no, I haven't. I just wrote that down. I'm booted into windows now, but will reboot into ubuntu and try it.
[12:41] <mneptok> jzitt: you'lll want to use sudo. you, too sorush20.
[12:41] <erUSUL> Serap1: exactly that the file nust be setuid root (hint: man chmod). Beware that setuiding involves a security risk
[12:42] <jzitt> Right. Thanks, mneptok, et al. I'll be back with word on if it worked.
[12:42] <sapage> how can i see the iptables is working? it is a file in /var/log/right?
[12:42] <twb> Howdy.  I'm trying to get antialiased kana in galeon.  Compare: http://twb.ath.cx/tmp/ja.png and http://twb.ath.cx/tmp/ko.png.  I am running Ubuntu Edgy, I have language-support-ko and language-support-ja installed.
[12:42] <frogzoo_> sapage: 'sudo iptables -L -v'
[12:43] <sapage>  /var/log/syslog will show the same?
[12:44] <frogzoo_> sapage: iptables only logs what it's configured to log, nothing more
[12:44] <sapage> ok
[12:44] <AnAnt> I am trying to mount an NFS partition, but I get this error: "mount: RPC: Timed out"
[12:45] <fly_80> nobody can help me?
[12:45] <ddwagnz> hi again
[12:46] <ikonia> AnAnt rpc is not communicating properly, look for rpc on both client and server and check for firewalls
[12:47] <OrTigaS> how to upgrade my firefox into the latest version?
[12:47] <dequeued> fly_80
[12:47] <ikonia> OrTigaS use the versions in the repo
[12:47] <dequeued> Just install the portmap service and start it
[12:48] <dequeued> then you can mount nfs volumes
[12:48] <dequeued> Sorry no one here was able to give you a helpful answer
[12:48] <sapage> !postmap
[12:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about postmap - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:48] <OrTigaS> i'm noob how do i do that?
[12:48] <sapage> !portmap
[12:48] <ubotu> portmap: The RPC portmapper. In component main, is optional. Version 5-20ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 31 kB, installed size 148 kB
[12:48] <AnAnt> ikonia: how ?
[12:48] <fly_80> dequeued: what?
[12:49] <AnAnt> ikonia: the server is working because other clients can connect
[12:49] <dequeued> fly_80, nfs needs portmap
[12:49] <sorush20> mneptok: are you talking to me ?
[12:49] <dequeued> apt-get install portmap
[12:49] <fly_80> nfs??
[12:49] <sorush20> mneptok: I have used the sudo
[12:49] <dequeued> /etc/init.d/portmap start
[12:49] <ddwagnz> i now assume its not possible to use a current windows harddrive (NTFS) to surf and try linux apps from a live cd?
[12:49] <fly_80> wrong people
[12:49] <ikonia> AnAnt then either a firewall is stopping your clients sending rpc - or you don't have the NFS client which includes portmap installed and running on your client
[12:49] <erUSUL> OrTigaS: you can not, during a release there are no new versions of programs only security updates
[12:49] <dequeued> ack, sorry, AnAnt
[12:49] <ben_> Hi! When I try to install lprng, it conflicts with xubuntu-desktop. I guess it's a metapackage and remove it but at next upgrade, aptitude wants to remove xfce package too... Is there a way to force lprng install plz?
[12:49] <dequeued> AnAnt,  just install portmap
[12:49] <ikonia> ddwagnz live cd doesn't run from disk
[12:50] <OrTigaS> so how to upgrade my firefox?
[12:50] <ddwagnz> !!!
[12:50] <ikonia> OrTigaS you can't
[12:50] <ikonia> OrTigaS only the versions in the repo's will be supported
[12:50] <dequeued> and ikonia, I am sure he figured that out already, the error message said that
[12:50] <twb> OrTigaS: why do you want to upgrade firefox?
[12:50] <ikonia> dequeued said what
[12:50] <dequeued> he wanted to know *why* he was getting that error message
[12:50] <PhibreOptix> Does anybody here know why performance is so slow through WINE when trying to run a projector created be Macromedia Director?
[12:50] <ikonia> PhibreOptix join #wine
[12:51] <ddwagnz> ikonia, like just access the hdd from the live cd without formatting seem i wont be allowed (family comp :/)
[12:51] <PhibreOptix> Tried there, and nobody even responds to anything I ask at all >.<
[12:51] <twb> PhibreOptix: be patient
[12:51] <ikonia> dequeued as I said a firewall or the nfs client package is not installed and running - this includes portmap
[12:51] <ikonia> ddwagnz you will be fine
[12:51] <EnsignRedshirt> OrTigaS: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion
[12:51] <dequeued> 98% of the time, that error message is because portmap is not installed and running
[12:51] <dequeued> just say install and start portmap, that is what he wants to know
[12:51] <OrTigaS> twb: someone is using version 2.0, my problem is i want my firefox to open what is the site i open it.... like the opera
[12:51] <ikonia> dequeued but portmap is a dependency on the nfs-client package
[12:52] <ikonia> hence why I didn't just say "start portmap" as its possible he doesn't have the nfs client package installed
[12:52] <ikonia> or portmap would be in place to start up at boot
[12:52] <dequeued> back when I was learning linux, I hated it when people would give overly complex and useless answers to my questions...
[12:52] <twb> OrTigaS: I'm sorry, I don't understand.
[12:52] <ikonia> dequeued telling him the reason and the package doesn't seem over complex to me ?
[12:52] <dv_> dequeued, yeah
[12:52] <ddwagnz> hmmm i'm just wanting to push ubuntu just on a simple live cd using Blender which i have a copy for lin but just trying to actually trying to get on the hdd seems inpossible without doing something
[12:53] <ddwagnz> to stuff up the computer itself
[12:53] <ikonia> ddwagnz your not really meant to install packages on the livecd - however you can do an apt-get and install blender into the livecd memeory
[12:53] <sorush20> guys I have a bug I don't know how to check it, its for the gnome-control centre any ideas?
[12:54] <ikonia> sorush20 check launchpad
[12:54] <ikonia> !launchpad > sorush20
[12:54] <dv_> dequeued, as in "I want to access my usb camera. can I do this in linux?" "sure! you just have to look up in dmesg if the device was recognized, find the device node, if not recompile the kernel with the right driver, mount the usb cam, but with the correct rights!....." etc. etc.
[12:54] <OrTigaS> you know Opera? when i open like this day go to sites(whatever is it) the i close shutdown. then after a day i want to open the firefox which is where i close the other day
[12:54] <Turgon> Is there a way to configure Ubuntu so a chosen video is displayed instead of one of the available screensavers? I want to do so to try to fix a lazy pixel in a lcd monitor. Thanks for your time.
[12:54] <ddwagnz> ikonia, its like a downloaded RC one (no install neeeded)
[12:54] <dv_> fortunately, distros like ubuntu exist..
[12:54] <ikonia> ddwagnz I wouldn't do it
[12:54] <OrTigaS> hmmm confusing
[12:54] <OrTigaS> sorry
[12:54] <ddwagnz> hmmm
[12:54] <twb> OrTigaS: oh, you want the "session management" feature new in Firefox 2.0?
[12:55] <OrTigaS> i want when firefox start it will show what is the site i open before
[12:56] <twb> OrTigaS: that is called "session management", if I understand you correctly.
[12:56] <erUSUL> OrTigaS: upgrade to edgy and you will get firefox 2 and session mangment. another posibility is just install the sesion managment extension for firefox 1.5.x
[12:56] <xplorer> in firefox when i click on link it open in new window instead of new tab.i have setup to open in tab only and not in new window.
[12:56] <twb> OrTigaS: what release of Ubuntu are you running?
[12:56] <OrTigaS> 6.06
[12:57] <twb> Firefox 2.0 is included in Ubuntu Edgy 6.10.  If you upgrade to Edgy, you will get Firefox 2.0.
[12:57] <dequeued> dv_, well, it is clear that he understood the basic concept of nfs and had read the man pages, and he already knew that the proper traffic was going through, I didn't see any reason to insult his inteligence by telling him to check a firewall
[12:57] <dequeued> lets leave it at that
[12:57] <OrTigaS> i tried to upgrade the other day, but my video resolution not working properly so i go back to 6.06
[12:58] <twb> OrTigaS: perhaps a better idea would be to try to fix the resolution problem.
[12:59] <erUSUL> OrTigaS: hablas espaol?
[12:59] <OrTigaS> okay.... so you gonna help me along the way to fix the resolution of may desktop

[01:00] <twb> ubotu: thank you

[01:01] <twb> sorush20: brazil
[01:01] <OrTigaS> i guess
[01:02] <jzitt> mneptok: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg told me that xserver-org was broken or improperly installed. An apt-get on it fixed things, and I'm now on via Edgy!
[01:02] <twb> OrTigaS: probably.  That is called "dist-upgrading"

[01:03] <Serap1> how do I get root in scratchbox?
[01:03] <sorush20> I can't see any keyboard preveiws any idea how I can get to see them in gnome?
[01:04] <erUSUL> Serap1: what is a scratchbox?
[01:04] <aefkei> Hey'a.
[01:05] <Serap1> its some cross-compilation toolkit
[01:05] <PhibreOptix> Can anybody shed some light on this? My ubuntu keeps freezing when I leave it idle
[01:06] <mneptok> jzitt: splendid! :)
[01:07] <jzitt> mneptok: it also died reading the DVD when I tried it this time, so I wiped off the disc and tried it again, successfully.
[01:08] <jzitt> So the whole thing seems to have boiled down to a smudge on the media.
[01:08] <erUSUL> Serap1: why would you need to get root in a scratchbox ??
[01:09] <erUSUL> Serap1: maybe is this what you are looking for http://www.scratchbox.org/documentation/user/scratchbox-1.0/html/fakeroot.html ??
[01:10] <OrTigaS> i think i have unfinish work here, because i cant dist-upgrade. it shows the "pmount"
[01:10] <OrTigaS> The following packages have been kept back:
[01:10] <OrTigaS>   pmount
[01:10] <sorush20> is there anything like klipper in gnome ?
[01:11] <sorush20> !klipper
[01:11] <ubotu> klipper: clipboard utility for KDE. In component main, is optional. Version 4:3.5.5-0ubuntu3.2 (edgy), package size 271 kB, installed size 940 kB
[01:12] <frogzoo_> a lot of kde apps run in gnome, worth a try
[01:12] <Serap1> sorry I was away erUSUl..I need to become root to make a filesystem for my nokia 770, I can only do this when I am root in scratchbox
[01:13] <incorrect> is it standard practise to debootstrap and then chroot in to create backports for different revisions
[01:16] <OrTigaS> what is this "pmount"?
[01:16] <kucinglaper> i have problem with USB hub, anyone has problem with USB hub?
[01:16] <OrTigaS> i cant upgrade
[01:17] <twb> pmount is a program that allows users to mount removable media.
[01:17] <qmf> can anyone help me with this?

[01:23] <axa-axa> Hi. Is it possible to make Nautilus to hide remain lines of file/directory name, if name is, for example, longer that two lines, like it is in Konqueror and Windows?
[01:23] <dequeued> I thought I uncommented the required lines in sources.list and ran apt-get update, but I still don't have access
[01:23] <mooey> brussel, i think community given documentation should go in /community, it allows others to edit it so i dont think it should be telling you the opposite :-)

[01:25] <frogzoo_> qmf: if you can't install fglrx from the repos, something is badly wrong
[01:25] <brussel> mooey, i'm confused, the wiki is where everybody can update it and is where it is currently. /community is where they are telling me to put it and that seems to be static.
[01:26] <Prometheum> Hello, I appear to have killed my taskbar. I can only view launchers and applets, and non of my other programs can use the taskbar. I accidentaly removed the barrier between the left side with the menus on it and the right side with the time and whatnot. How would I be able to fix it?
[01:26] <PhibreOptix> Prometheum: try pressing CTRL+ALT+Backspace
[01:26] <mooey> brussel, are you logged in? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ -> this isn't static
[01:27] <Prometheum> PhibreOptix: its stayed with me for a few boots, restarting X doesn't do anything.
[01:27] <brussel> hmmm, ok, i'll check it out.
[01:27] <PhibreOptix> Prometheum: Ah ok then, well that about limits my knowledge xD
[01:27] <qmf> frogzoo_: i wanted the latest. but the repo ones give me the same(ish) problems
[01:27] <mooey> brussel, i hope you can sort it. thanks for contributing :-)
[01:27] <Prometheum> Would there be any way to bring it back to the defaults?
[01:28] <axa-axa> Hi. Is it possible to make Nautilus to hide remain lines of file/directory name, if name is, for example, longer that two lines, like it is in Konqueror and Windows?
[01:28] <brussel> mooey, why would they want to take it away from the obvious place, the wiki, where everybody instinctively knows they can change it?
[01:29] <brussel> i go to community and it looks like a mess and it's not even obvious i can sign in
[01:30] <mooey> brussel, i'm not sure. i can edit pages on wiki.ubuntu.com. i've got a suspicion it has something todo with signing the ubuntu code of conduct but i could be wrong?
[01:32] <brussel> mooey, again i'm confused. wiki.ubuntu.com is fine and is where i am writing the documentation and is the natural place in my mind to add user supplied documentation.
[01:33] <brussel> mooey, they however say: This document should be moved to the documentation wiki at https://help.ubuntu.com/community
[01:33] <mooey> brussel, i'm confuzzled to. what page are you editing?
[01:33] <Jowi> Prometheum, I would guess you cat get the defaults back by deleting /home/user/.gnome2/panel2.d (just a hunch)
[01:34] <brussel> mooey, reading the paste just now i see my error, there is some wiki somewhere else besides https://wiki.ubuntu.com/...
[01:35] <brussel> mooey, i'll poke around at https://help.ubuntu.com/community until i find a wiki there...
[01:35] <mooey> brussel, help.ubuntu.com/community is a wiki o_O
[01:36] <brussel> mooey, oh, silly me, didn't see wiki in it's url so assumed it was static.
[01:36] <frogzoo_> Prometheum: why not delete the taskbar & create a new one?
[01:36] <Dozornij> hi
[01:36] <mooey> brussel, ah :-)
[01:36] <Prometheum> frogzoo_: good idea, I'll try that now
[01:37] <Prometheum> and now I have no panals at all.
[01:37] <opetznick> how i can use mcrypt to encrypt a string?
[01:37] <Prometheum> new problem: I have no taskbars at all. How do I get them back?
[01:40] <emuFarmer> i've got a quick question, does anyone know if there are any compatibility problems with linux and trackball mice?
[01:41] <cyphase> anyone else tried VirtualBox? how is it?
[01:41] <Optimus> hey all
[01:43] <Optimus> Anyone talkin'?
[01:43] <nikin> hey Optimus
[01:43] <cyberix> What do I need to get a working Ubuntu system? ubuntu-minimal, linux-image-generic and their dependencies. Something else?
[01:43] <Jowi> Optimus, everyone is busy. all 917 of us :)
[01:44] <nikin> Jowi : and what are we doing?
[01:44] <Optimus> Cyberix, the LiveCD is all you need
[01:44] <cyberix> Optimus: Lol
[01:44] <Jowi> cyberix, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems is about the minimal for ubuntu running Xorg
[01:44] <cyberix> Optimus: I'm trying to bootstrap Ubuntu from a minimal Debian system.
[01:44] <nikin> cyberix: for what?
[01:45] <Prometheum> How can I restore my default menubar and taskbar?
[01:45] <cyberix> I'm doing this because Ubuntu doesn't support floppy installation.
[01:45] <frogzoo_> Prometheum: tried 'gnome-panel' from terminal?
[01:45] <Jowi> Prometheum, did you try to remove ~/.gnome2/panel2.d ?
[01:45] <Asturia> can anyone help me in setting up dansguardian?
[01:46] <Optimus> cyberix, do you have a CD drive and the bios simply won't allow bootup?
[01:46] <Prometheum> frogzoo_: no, I haven't and Jowi, what exactly would that do?
[01:46] <cyberix> Optimus: No. I don't have a cd-drive.
[01:46] <shodanjr_gr> hey guys, i wana set up my VSFTPD server to be able to ftp to my /var/www directory. Any ideas???
[01:46] <Jowi> Prometheum, delete the panel settings hopefully so you will get the default panel(s) back. havent tried it so not sure if it works
[01:47] <Jowi> Prometheum, unfortunatley gnome has got gconf-editor (bleurgh)
[01:47] <Prometheum> so can I get to the defaults?
[01:47] <cyberix> Optimus: I have a pcmcia-cd-drive that often fails reading. I can't boot from it, but reading failures during installation are unacceptable so I see no reason in working towards that.
[01:47] <Jowi> Prometheum, hopefully. try it.
[01:48] <Optimus> Cyberix, I agree
[01:48] <Optimus> Cyberix, gimme a sec, I think I may have found a site with the howtos of bootstrapping ubuntu
[01:49] <guerrillawon> How would I find the location of a connected fat32 slave harddrive and mount it?
[01:49] <guerrillawon> I'm guessing in dev but not sure where in it.
[01:49] <Prometheum> Jowi: where would I find the right settings in gconf-editor?
[01:50] <Optimus> Gah -- I am supposedly on 3Mbps DSL and I am getting about 1.6kpbs downstream!
[01:50] <Jowi> Prometheum, no idea. apps\panel maybe. but that is hard to edit yourself. better see if removing ~/.gnome2/panel2.d works
[01:51] <Optimus> Cyberix, you are using edgy, correct?
[01:51] <cyberix> Sarge -> Edgy
[01:52] <Prometheum> thats a directory, do it anyway?
[01:53] <Prometheum> okay just did it, now what?
[01:53] <Optimus> Well I found several threads on ubuntuforums, but it looks like almost everyone ends up with an error 127
[01:53] <Jowi> Prometheum, yep. or simply move it "mv panel2.d panel2.bak"
[01:53] <Jowi> Prometheum, restart gnome
[01:53] <Optimus> Cyberix --> http://ubuntuforums.org/tags/index.php/bootstrap/
[01:53] <cyberix> Thanks
[01:53] <Prometheum> okay
[01:54] <Optimus> Cyberix, this may also give you an idea --https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation/FromKnoppix
[01:54] <Optimus> Though that is from Knoppix, ergo a CD
[01:55] <Prometheum> nothing still
[01:55] <Optimus> Cyberix, does the laptop have a floppy drive?
[01:56] <cyberix> Optimus: Yes. Thats how I installed Sarge.
[01:56] <qmf> is there a way to sort of 'cleanse' my ubuntu install without reinstalling it all? like, remove everything i've installed/changed
[01:56] <xopher> How can I switch from the totem firefox plugin to mozilla-mplayer? When I try to remove the totem one, synaptic wants to remove ubuntu-desktop also..
[01:56] <Optimus> Hrmmm, you might be able to use a floppy dist ( i.e. an entire distro on a single floppy) and debootstrap ubuntu from that using the instructions from Knoppix
[01:56] <higiraven> my repos dont work
[01:57] <timo> what you mean
[01:57] <Jowi> Prometheum, how about starting a new panel "gnome-panel" and rightclick and add what you need?
[01:57] <johns^> qmf: xopher ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage
[01:57] <cyberix> Optimus: I'm currently trying http://linux.simple.be/debian/floppy && http://ruinst.net.ru/ner/debian2ubuntu.html
[01:57] <johns^> you can remove that without a problem
[01:58] <xopher> johns^, oh yeah.. sorry  and thanks
[01:58] <Prometheum> Jowi: that doesn't return it to the defaults. THere are alot of differences, including no system tray for programs to live in.
[01:58] <johns^> xopher: doesn't matter, i took a deep breath before I removed ubuntu-desktop the first time :)
[01:58] <Jowi> Prometheum, add a tray :)
[01:59] <Prometheum> how?
[02:00] <Jowi> Prometheum, rightclick on the panel -> add to panel -> drag notification area to the panel
[02:00] <guerrillawon> Can anyone help me mount an ntfs harddrive?
[02:00] <DShepherd> guerrillawon, sure..
