[17:02] <Raverix> Hello, I'm trying to connect to Ubuntu Server (8.04) from Mac. I have CotVNC as my client, and vnc4server xinetd (as my server) I can succesffully connect, but when I do, all I get is a gray screen, with a small terminal console in the top left corner, and a cursor. I have installed the ubuntu desktop already... suggestions?
[17:03] <JerrY_> irc://chat.freenode.net/postgis
[17:05] <mre1f> hey guys
[17:05] <Justin_`> Ok, I have booted in KonBoot and I have a white screen with a logo
[17:05] <mre1f> anyone here have a dual display?  I'm having some issues with full screen flash
[17:05] <Justin_`> Do I have to do anything else or what
[17:05] <panfist_> i initiated a command yesterday, and when i came back to my machine, it had powered off, i dont know why (power failure?) is there a way to tell if the command completed successfully?
[17:06] <hiexpo> what was the command
[17:06] <panfist_> dd
[17:06] <panfist_> dd of=/dev/zero if=/dev/sd*
[17:07] <afink> panfist_: are you trying the usb-creator workaround?
[17:07] <hiexpo> does the drive look right
[17:07] <panfist_> i have no idea what the usb-creator workaround is
[17:07] <panfist_> im trying to zero these drives because theyre going to go into a raid array
[17:08] <panfist_> and this way i can assume-clean on the array instead of resyncing when it's first started
[17:08] <darkmaster977> hi, i have a problem with my microphone in ubuntu
[17:08] <darkmaster977> is very quiet
[17:09] <darkmaster977> but all slider in alsamixer is on 100%
[17:09] <sayanriju> panfist_, looks like you just wiped your hard disk(s) clean!
[17:09] <panfist_> that was the goal
[17:09] <Emanon> looking for suggestions on usenet clients, prefer ones with good gnome integration
[17:09] <panfist_> i want to know if it finished
[17:09] <nici> !de
[17:09] <Justin_`> What is the default 'root' password
[17:09] <Slart> !root | Justin_`
[17:10] <Justin_`> I can't login to Ubuntu tho
[17:10] <Justin_`> Its on the login screen
[17:10] <sayanriju> panfist_, try booting it first
[17:10] <Justin_`> I can't remeber the password i set for my account
[17:10] <Slart> Justin_`: try starting the recovery mode
[17:10] <Justin_`> And how would I go about doing that
[17:10] <mre1f> Justin_`, you should have created a user account during the installation
[17:10] <panfist_> try booting what first?
[17:10] <sayanriju> panfist_, also you should try such stuff from a live environment, hope you did that
[17:10] <Emanon> yea go recovery then "sudo passwd your_user"
[17:10] <Justin_`> How do I get into recovery?
[17:10] <Slart> Justin_`: that is from the Grub menu.. there's is one normal kernel mode.. then there is the recovery mode.. from there you can do all kinds of things
[17:11] <Emanon> reboot and select it in the boot options
[17:11] <Xserver> is there a tool or software which can generate macs based on the OUI ?
[17:11] <Justin_`> ... Confused. I don't have any options...
[17:11] <Slart> Justin_`: you might have to press a key at startup if the grub menu doesn't show up.. don't remember which one it is though
[17:11] <panfist_> the actual command i did was specific to the raid drives, i just threw the wild card up because it was shorter than typing in the actual command, on 6 drives. i did not wipe my boot partition
[17:11] <mre1f> Justin_`, during boot before ubuntu starts to load you should see the grub loader
[17:11] <Xserver> F8 ?
[17:11] <yeason> I'm wondering if anyone has gotten windows 7 to read ext4 with one of the many drivers out there... I have one that 'works' in that it will mount the drive and I can see the root folders but they're all empty... any ideas?
[17:11] <panfist_> why cant you guys just answer the bleepin' question, how do i know if the command completed?
[17:12] <mre1f> Justin_`, it will count down for a few seconds before loading.. you should see a few options there.. use your cursor keys to select ubuntu xx recovery mode and press enter
[17:12] <Slart> panfist_: if there was an easy answer we would have told you
[17:12] <panfist_> or is it impossible to know
[17:12] <ymioll> how do i show the list of users connected in my .login script?
[17:12]  * panfist_ frowns
[17:12] <Justin_`> Dont see it :(
[17:12] <Slart> Justin_`: hang on.. let me get the info for you
[17:12] <mre1f> http://yogieza.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/grub-boot-loader.jpg <- should look like this
[17:13] <Slart> Justin_`: reboot and hold SHIFT
[17:13] <mogsog> Hello was wondering if the was a w32 program I could use to connect to my ubuntu machine
[17:13] <bastid_raZor> after running an aptitude safe-upgrade and all updates fine, what does this [-17] mean on this final line?  Current status: 0 updates [-17].
[17:13] <Justin_`> nope
[17:13] <mre1f> mogsog, putty for ssh access and tightvnc for a "remote desktop"
[17:13] <Justin_`> Ok, I got into a balck screen, (like command prompt)
[17:14] <Justin_`> What was that sudo command?
[17:14] <regergeg> do u know something like rapache but with bind configuration?
[17:14] <Emanon> Justin_`:  "sudo passwd your_user"
[17:14] <Slart> Justin_`: it should get you a menu that looks something like this http://www.pendrivelinux.com/wp-content/uploads/WUBI-Grub2.png
[17:14] <steffan> !sudo | Justin_`
[17:14] <Klear> when i run a script (./my_script), I get "Unable to execute, no such file or directory" -- but the file is right there
[17:14] <mogsog> mre1f: is tight vnc on linux or do I just use the client to connect to the built in linux remote desktop?
[17:14] <Klear> what could be the problem?
[17:14] <Justin_`> Authentication token manipulation error - password not changed
[17:15] <friday> does anyone know if theres another video player besides totem that has a "repeat mode"?
[17:15] <Myrtti> Justin_`: what are you trying to do?
[17:15] <Myrtti> Justin_`: change your own password?
[17:15] <Slart> friday: vlc
[17:15] <Justin_`> Yes
[17:15] <Justin_`> sudo passwd justin
[17:15] <Myrtti> Justin_`: you don't need sudo for that
[17:15] <friday> Slart: where?
[17:15] <Myrtti> Justin_`: just passwd justin
[17:15] <Slart> Justin_`: just    passwd <yourusername>    should do it.. you're already root when you boot like this
[17:15] <Emanon> oh yea cause recovery is root by default huh?
[17:15] <Emanon> sorry im a tard
[17:16] <Justin_`> still get the error
[17:16] <mogsog> got it thanks mre1f!
[17:16] <x7m> Is a new computer with windows 7 worth a $400.00 sale?
[17:16] <mre1f> :)
[17:16] <Emanon> friday: vlc is in your repository
[17:17] <friday> where in vlc is the repeat mode
[17:17] <Emanon> friday: in the playlist
[17:17] <Slart> x7m: is a car worth $50.000? depends on the car, right?
[17:17] <Emanon> x7m:  no computer with windows is worth $400
[17:17] <x7m> okay thanks.
[17:18] <Emanon> hehe
[17:18] <Justin_`> None of this is working
[17:18] <Emanon> sorry you forgot your password Justin_`
[17:18] <Slart> Justin_`: what isn't working? what kind of error do you get?
[17:18] <Justin_`> Ok this is what happned
[17:19] <pat|nG> where can i open iptables?
[17:19] <Justin_`> I was installing ubuntu, it asked for a username and password (user - justin) (pass - dont remeber). I am trying to reset/set a new password for the account - justin
[17:19] <friday> Emanon or slart is there another player that has repeat mode?
[17:19] <pat|nG> !iptable
[17:19] <Slart> friday: vlc
[17:19] <x7m> my OS is 8.4, How do I get the DVD player to work?
[17:19] <pat|nG> !iptables
[17:19] <friday> Slart: besides vlc
[17:19] <Slart> friday: or totem.. I suppose mplayer has it too.. it's a very common option
[17:20] <warriorforgod> Justin_`: You should be able to reboot into recovery mode, and then use passwd justin
[17:20] <Emanon> friday: vlc, totem, mplayer, dragon player
[17:20] <Justin_`> ill try rebooting, hangon
[17:20] <Justin_`> holding down shift yeah?
[17:20] <Slart> Justin_`: yes
[17:20] <Emanon> friday and about 50k more
[17:20] <Emanon> just go into synaptic and type "movie player"
[17:21] <Emanon> find one that you like
[17:21] <ymioll> why doesnt this work? echo "Current users on: `who -s`"
[17:21] <arghh2d2> i had windows working on virtualbox earlier today and it didnt take me long to ask myself "wtf am i doing?"  it's been so long without windows i forgot how ridiculous the whole experience is.  Thank GNU/Linux!! :)
[17:21] <happyface0> anyone here use irssi?
[17:21] <panfist_> yes
[17:21] <Myrtti> happyface0: plenty of people
[17:21] <warriorforgod> ymioll: Are you using this in a script?
[17:21] <warriorforgod> happyface0: yes
[17:21] <arghh2d2> happyface0: yeah
[17:21] <bastid_raZor> happyface0: there is an #irssi channel
[17:21] <gino>  milan90
[17:21] <happyface0> haha ok
[17:22] <ymioll> warriorforgod, yea
[17:22] <arghh2d2> irssi ftw
[17:22] <gino> lista!
[17:22] <warriorforgod> ymioll: Try asking your question in #bash
[17:22] <happyface0> well a quick question - how do I view events (like when my nick is shown) awhile after they happen?
[17:22] <happyface0> is there a way
[17:22] <panfist_> pg up
[17:22] <gino> ciao a tutti
[17:22] <Justin_`> Ok, I got into the boot menu but I am unable to use my keyboard to arrows down
[17:22] <gino> !lista
[17:22] <hajmola> sensors says "Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.", any ideas?
[17:22] <Slart> happyface0: try writing   /lastlog <something_to_search_for>
[17:23] <punto> how do I find out what's using my memory? I just killed everything, and top says there's like 700mb in use (plus 200 swapped)
[17:23] <Slart> happyface0: in this case...    /lastlog happyface    would show all lines with your nick in it
[17:23] <bahamas> guys, is there something i have to set/change in ubuntu, to be able to see my linux partitions from windows?
[17:23] <Oasa> bahamas : Lool
[17:23] <happyface0> thanks Slart that will be useful
[17:23] <macman_> anyone had luck ripping Gi_joe_rise of cobra
[17:23] <Slart> Justin_`: hmm.. do you have a weird keyboard of some kind ? wireless?
[17:23] <scott_ino2> hello, does anyone know how i can mount a hard drive pulled from a recent ubuntu machine (it normally mounts it automatically, however I'm having problems I think because of the encryption)
[17:23] <bahamas> Oasa: hi :)
[17:23] <Emanon> bahamas: by default windows can't see ext filesystems
[17:23] <Myrtti> !ext3 | bahamas
[17:23] <Justin_`> Belkin, Wired, connected via a USB
[17:23] <Slart> happyface0: you can type   /lastlog -clear    to remove the search results
[17:24] <Emanon> isnt ext4 default on karmic?
[17:24] <scott_ino2> Emanon, yes
[17:24] <Slart> Emanon: I think so
[17:24] <Justin_`> I can get a adapter to change it to the circle port (don't know name)
[17:24] <Oasa> bahamas ; you can use it to write also. SO please dont use that.
[17:25] <Slart> Justin_`: that shouldn't be necessary... so arrow keys doesn't work.. hang on.. you're running the latest ubuntu, right? 9.10?
[17:25] <Emanon> Justin_`: the round keyboard and mouse plugs are Ps/2
[17:25] <warriorforgod> Justin_`: The cirle port is called a PS2 port, or if it is older style it is DIN.
[17:25] <Justin_`> Yes 9.10
[17:25] <Slart> Justin_`: the first line is selected, right?
[17:25] <Justin_`> Yes
[17:26] <Slart> Justin_`: what happens if you press 'E'
[17:26] <Justin_`> Nothing
[17:26] <Slart> !pm | happyface0
[17:26] <hajmola> sensors says "No sensors found! Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need." Anyone know how I get the kernel drivers I need?
[17:27] <Slart> Justin_`: <enter> doesn't work either?
[17:27] <scott_ino2> hajmola, run "sensors-detect"
[17:27] <hajmola> scott_ino2, I did
[17:27] <Justin_`> No.
[17:27] <Justin_`> Nothing works
[17:27] <happyface0> Slart: to block chanserv windows telling me that I've logged in, which autocreate do I set?
[17:27] <Slart> happyface0: I have no idea
[17:27] <bahamas> Myrtti: i have ext2 1.11a installed on my system, but i still can't enter my linux partitions. i get a prompt saying that the disk is not formatted
[17:28] <scott_ino2> hajmola, certain types of sensors aren't supported yet, you sure you'rs is? I have this problem now where i have a newer k9n board and they haven't written drivers for them
[17:29] <Myrtti> bahamas: is the filesystem in your linux ext4 or ext3?
[17:29] <Justin_`> Slart, I connected it via a PS2 port and I can now select
[17:29] <hajmola> scott_ino2, It worked back on Intrepid. Sensors-detect says coretemp
[17:29] <Justin_`> Ok, its booting in recovery mode
[17:29] <bahamas> Myrtti: ext3
[17:29] <Slart> Justin_`: oh.. great!  I was googling and I think I found some other ways.. but nevermind
[17:29] <Justin_`> Now i have a Recovery menu.
[17:29] <Slart> Justin_`: you should end up at a menu with some options
[17:30] <Slart> Justin_`: pick the one that is marked "Drop to root shell prompt"
[17:30] <Justin_`> Done, Now I have a black line at the bottom of my screen
[17:30] <Justin_`> root@justin-desktop:~#
[17:30] <Slart> Justin_`: ok.. what is your username on this machine?
[17:30] <Justin_`> justin
[17:31] <Slart> Justin_`: then you write      passwd justin
[17:31] <Justin_`> Woo, Password updated
[17:31] <Justin_`> Now just powerdown at the button?
[17:31] <scott_ino2> hajmola, hmm odd, sorry i can't be of more help
[17:31] <Slart> Justin_`: ok.. then type    reboot
[17:31] <Justin_`> or that
[17:32] <DuCkNeT> grr....
[17:32] <DuCkNeT> compiz not working
[17:33] <Slart> Justin_`: apparently your keyboard might work better if you find and enable an option called  "Legacy USB support" in your BIOS
[17:33] <hajmola> scott_ino2, thanks anyways
[17:33] <Justin_`> Slart, Now that boot menu is up, (I didn't push anything)
[17:33] <w3l54666> how do i ping an ip???
[17:33] <Slart> Justin_`: just select the top choice
[17:34] <Slart> w3l54666: ping 111.222.333.444
[17:34] <bahamas> Myrtti: i found my explanation: The volume has an Ext2/Ext3 file system, but the Ext2 IFS 1.11 software did not
[17:34] <bahamas> mount it because the file system has an inode size unequal to 128 bytes (inode
[17:34] <bahamas> size: 256 bytes).
[17:34] <bahamas> The only way to solve it is to back up the volume's files and format the file
[17:34] <bahamas> system: give the mkfs.ext3 utility the -I 128 switch. Finally, restore all
[17:34] <FloodBot2> bahamas: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:34] <bahamas> backed-up files.
[17:34] <Justin_`> Slart, I will have a look at it next reboot
[17:34] <w3l54666> Slart: ok ty
[17:34] <Slart> Justin_`: you're welcome
[17:34] <rek> hi mys usb disk is too slow and unusable there are some problems....can i run fdisk?what can i do?

[17:34] <Myrtti> agroker: picture viewer?
[17:35] <Slart> Justin_`: great! now remember that password ;)
[17:35] <Myrtti> agroker: it might be there, but with a different name
[17:35] <Justin_`> Hah I will :)
[17:35] <callum_> hi im loving ubuntu 9.10 Netbook Remix thanks to all the developers that have put in the effort
[17:35] <callum_> works great on eee pc 701sd
[17:35] <scott_ino2> agroker, run "alacarte" in terminal
[17:35] <callum_> I have a question - what can i use to download music?
[17:35] <Justin_`> I find the support for Ubuntu is outstanding
[17:35] <callum_> does limewire work on ubuntu remix 9.10
[17:35] <Slart> Klear: did you spell it properly? linux is cAsE seNSiTivE
[17:36] <blakkheim> callum_: wget
[17:36] <boscop> hi. please can anyone tell me where I can insert a simple text field in openoffice writer? I am searching this always and I can't find it.
[17:36] <scott_ino2> callum_, yes frostwire/limewire work but we can't really talk about such things here. make sure you're not doing anything illegal
[17:36] <rek> anyone help
[17:36] <agroker> Myrtti, yes, eog
[17:36] <callum_> oh ok thanks scott
[17:36] <callum_> i ordered a cd of ubuntu will it come?
[17:36] <scott_ino2> callum_, not that i mind but you know ;)
[17:37] <scott_ino2> callum_, you can download the .deb from their respected websites
[17:37] <agroker> scott_ino2, that worked, thanks
[17:37] <Slart> rek: I had that problem before.. not sure if it disappeared when I updated to a new version of ubuntu or if I bought a new USB hub.. I don't know of a fix
[17:37] <scott_ino2> agroker, np
[17:37] <callum_> Thanks scott!
[17:37] <callum_> <3
[17:37] <arand> callum_: That normally takes fairly long (if it's the free shipit CD)
[17:37] <cinex> will ubuntu provide a better performance or xubuntu even
[17:37] <cinex> i have a pc with 860mhz cpu and 360 mb of ram. it has xp pro service pack 3 (and runs suprisingly). its a comunial pc used for people in the community to read email, write cvs etc.
[17:37] <Klear> Slart, yes I am copy/pasting the file name
[17:37] <PDG1> trying to create a share between my living room comp and my room comp but now when i select Network out of the menu it shows Windows Network but then says "Unable to mount. Failed to retrieve share list from server" any ideas?
[17:37] <rek> fdisk maybe
[17:38] <Klear> does Ubuntu use a different way to run programs than other Linux distros?
[17:38] <Slart> cinex: xubuntu is a little bit lighter.. so it might leave more processing power/memory to your apps
[17:38] <Justin_`> How come my Wireless internet wont connect?
[17:38] <Slart> Klear: nope.. is the file marked as executable?
[17:38] <Klear> Slart, yes, it is chmoded to 755
[17:38] <scott_ino2> cinex, I would suggest trying xubuntu, definitely not ubuntu gnome/kde, otherwise look into a different "unsupported" ubuntu based distro such as crunchbang
[17:38] <blakkheim> xubuntu is still very bloated
[17:38] <scott_ino2> crunchbang works wel
[17:38] <blakkheim> i would recommend not using xubuntu or crunchbang, but using a lighter distro with a minimal cli install
[17:38] <Klear> am I using the right syntax?
[17:39] <Justin_`> How come my Wireless internet wont connect?
[17:39] <Slart> Klear: what is the first line in your script?
[17:39] <GeminiDomino> Ubuntu 8.04 Server:   After installing postgresql (8.3), the database server will not start. No log file is created and apparently /etc/postgresql was not created on installation. I removed all postgresql* packages and reinstalled, but the problem persists. Any ideas?
[17:39] <cinex> scott_ino2: ill look up scrunchbag now
[17:39] <Klear> Slart, seems to be encoded
[17:39] <blakkheim> cinex: see my previous message
[17:39] <blakkheim> Justin_`: what wireless card is it
[17:39] <PDG1> Justin_`: wont connect... like wont connect at all
[17:39] <Justin_`> Netgear
[17:39] <Slart> Klear: og.. it isn't a script? it's a binary?
[17:40] <Justin_`> It wont connect at all
[17:40] <cinex> blakkheim: ya, erm.
[17:40] <scott_ino2> Cinex, I use it for all of the old machines I give away 633mhz or less and it runs nicely.
[17:40] <Justin_`> I am broadcasting my SSID - 'FML'
[17:40] <Klear> Slart, seems like it... how would I run that?
[17:40] <cinex> It needs to be easily used by not so smart people, the hamilton library (ontario) has linux installed, its nice but i dont know what version
[17:40] <wildc4rd> evening all
[17:40] <Justin_`> I have added it into the Network connections under Wireless internet
[17:40] <Myrtti> please bear in mind that Crunchbang is not supported on this channel at all.
[17:40] <blakkheim> cinex: so you can set it up
[17:40] <happyface0> Justin_`: one of my SSIDs is Porkchop Sandwiches
[17:40] <Myrtti> so if you end up using it, the support isn't here
[17:41] <Slart> Klear: hmm.. can you do a ls -l in the folder where this file is located and pastebin the results?
[17:41] <actionparsnip> Yo yo yo
[17:41] <Slart> Klear: also the output from       file <yourfilename>
[17:41] <Slart> !pastebin | Klear
[17:43] <cinex> blakkheim: I can set up linux in my sleep :P
[17:43] <Justin_`> Any help about my wireless internet?
[17:44] <blakkheim> cinex: ok
[17:44] <actionparsnip> Justin_`: wassup?
[17:44] <Myrtti> cinex: if you feel comfortable with the old ncursesbased debinstaller, I'd get the mini.iso and build the os from the netinstall
[17:44] <Myrtti> cinex: if you really want to decide app by app what goes in and to gauge the speed of them
[17:45] <Justin_`> Ok, I have a Netgear wg111v2 wireless network card installed in my desktop
[17:45] <Justin_`> But i am unable to get it to work :S
[17:45] <earthen> cinex since you can setup linux in your sleep maybe you can help me out?
[17:45] <cinex> Myrtti: I have the problem of them being to impatiant for me to exeriment on their machine. which is Why I thought ubuntu would be good. its done in like 1 hour
[17:45] <actionparsnip> Justin_`: the make and model is fairly moot. Run: sudo lshw -C network
[17:46] <Justin_`> Ok actionparsnip
[17:46] <actionparsnip> Justin_`: you will see the chip it uses. Netgear don't make chips so knowing your brand gets you nothing
[17:47] <actionparsnip> Justin_`: read the product line and use it in websearches to find guides
[17:47] <Justin_`> actionparsnip, What did you need to know about that 'sudo lshw -C network'?
[17:48] <Myrtti> Justin_`: if you know how to use pastebins, you can put it there
[17:48] <Myrtti> !pastebin | Justin_`
[17:48] <oldmes> hi all
[17:48] <actionparsnip> Justin_`: none. Its for you. Use the product line in the wireless section and you will find guides
[17:48] <Justin_`> How can I use pastebin if I dont have internet access on it
[17:48] <oldmes> i need some help
[17:49] <Myrtti> Justin_`: oh, right... too late for my brain ;-)
[17:49] <Justin_`> actionparsnip, There is no 'product line'
[17:49] <actionparsnip> Justin_`: websearch on an internet accessing system
[17:49] <Justin_`> I see it nvm
[17:49] <hwilde> actionparsnip, it's a realtek chipset fyi
[17:49] <hwilde> RTL8187B
[17:50] <earthen> can anyone help me with a wireless problem I'm have after doing the latest updates
[17:50] <actionparsnip> Justin_`: sudo lshw -C network | grep -i product
[17:50] <DAMEXICO_> l
[17:50] <capon> hi all, how do I connect 2 ubuntu computers using ethernet cable?
[17:50] <apparle> Why is the package 'eagle' in the repositories not the latest version
[17:50] <actionparsnip> Justin_`: the line will say realtek then, websearch for that
[17:50] <oldmes> How i can provide IP addresses in dotted decimal or host/network names ?
[17:50] <apparle> !eagle
[17:50] <actionparsnip> Capon: you need a crossover cable
[17:50] <apparle> !info eagle
[17:51] <cinex> apparle: probably something to do with gcc or the kernel or some dependacie
[17:51] <actionparsnip> Capon: and you will need to define IP addresses manually
[17:51] <hwilde> Justin_`, the netgear wg111 uses the realtek rtl8187b chipset.  there are plenty of online guides to get it working https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/NetgearWG111

[17:51] <hwilde> oldmes, ifconfig
[17:51] <cognitiaclaeves> Trying to install the latest version of rapidsvn ( in order to solve an issue with it not being able to check out a path with windows-encoded characters in it -- or something like that ) -- makes, makes installs, and then when run: rapidsvn: error while loading shared libraries: libsvncpp.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory .. hoping someone knows about this.. can't find anything on it.
[17:51] <actionparsnip> Justin_`: there you go. Find that
[17:51] <apparle> cinex: the current verision is 5.7 but repos have 5.4.............and the site provides binaries in the form of run files
[17:51] <capon> actionparsnip, istn't is possible to connect them with a normal ethernet cable?
[17:52] <alabd> what's the problem  http://pastebin.com/m7c286d3f ? after using this script https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/trunk/scripts/ipkg-make-index.sh
[17:52] <hwilde> apparle, the repos usually ahve the last stable version.  it might be a little behind
[17:52] <actionparsnip> Capon: it won't work with a patch cable as the transmittor will be connected to the transmittor of the other
[17:52] <cinex> apparle: so install the .deb
[17:52] <Justin_`> Ill install it tomorrow, don't have the CD with me and it is almost 5am
[17:52] <actionparsnip> Capon: which is why its called a crossover
[17:52] <capon> actionparsnip, thanks ;)
[17:53] <apparle> hwilde: the one I am talking about is stable and has been released in july 2009
[17:53] <actionparsnip> Capon: a 'normal' cable doesn't exist
[17:53] <Justin_`> Thanks for your help
[17:53] <PDG1> Still lost on why it says I cant mount a windows sahre
[17:53] <actionparsnip> Capon: there are 2 types, patch and crossover
[17:53] <apparle> cinex: they provide run file and not the deb file...
[17:53] <oldmes> How i can provide IP addresses in dotted decimal or host/network names ?still having problems
[17:53] <capon> actionparsnip, how do i know that mine is a patch or crossover cable?
[17:53] <actionparsnip> Capon: some NICs can autonegotiate but most don't
[17:54] <hwilde> oldmes, what do you mean provide?  what language do you speak
[17:54] <PDG1> anyone well informed with Samba?
[17:54] <cognitiaclaeves> Does libsvncpp.so.3 even exist for Ubuntu?
[17:54] <hwilde> capon, you can do adhoc wireless maybe
[17:54] <hwilde> cognitiaclaeves, apt-file search libsvncpp.so
[17:54] <actionparsnip> Capon: look at the little wires in the head. If they are identical its patch and won't work in a p2p lan. If they are different its a crossover
[17:54] <tham1> What is the key combination in ubuntu that corresponds with the Ctrl+Alt+Del in windows?
[17:54] <Oasa> can some one here please tell me how to connect via VPN :S ?
[17:55] <maco> !sysrq | tham1
[17:55] <cognitiaclaeves> hwilde: Thanks... I was trying to remember that command...
[17:55] <actionparsnip> Tham: to bring up task manager etc?
[17:55] <capon> actionparsnip, they are identical XD
[17:55] <pawel__> What is the package name for cpan?
[17:55] <cinex> tham1: cntrl+alt+del during text mode/boot and cntrl+alt+backspace will kill the Xserver
[17:55] <maco> printscreen?? what??
[17:55] <capon> hwilde, what do you mean?
[17:55] <hwilde> capon, to connect the two computers without a cable, if they both have wifi
[17:55] <danbhfive> maco: for many people, sysrq = printscreen I think
[17:56] <actionparsnip> Capon: won't work in a p2p then. That is used to connect a system to an interconnection device like a switch
[17:56] <tham1> maco: it brings up the Save Screenshot dialog
[17:56] <hwilde> pawel__, aptitude search cpan
[17:56] <maco> tham1: because the factoid is wrong. its alt+sysrq
[17:56] <slartsa> Hello, could someone help me out with wlan issue? I'm having Telewell TW-WLAN USB receiver (with RT2870 chip) and Ubuntu 8.04 which cannot find any wireless networks
[17:56] <maco> danbhfive: sysrq is on del for me
[17:56] <capon> hwilde, can you explain plz
[17:56] <maco> tham1: you may need to hold Fn if it's a laptop
[17:56] <tham1> ubottu: thanks!
[17:56] <hwilde> capon, do the two computers you are trying to connect both have wireless?
[17:56] <capon> hwilde, yes
[17:56] <danbhfive> maco: hmm, yeah that should probably be changed
[17:56] <actionparsnip> Slartsa: have you tried the realtek site for drivers or search for guides on the chip?
[17:57] <tham1> cinex: ctrl+alt+backspace does nothing
[17:57] <hwilde> capon, ok so you can create an "adhoc" network between the two over wireless.  try this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/creating-an-adhoc-host-with-ubuntu.html
[17:57] <slartsa> actionparsnip:  I couldn't find any guides from the manual
[17:57] <capon> hwilde, thanks
[17:57] <hwilde> tham1, ctrl+alt+delete man
[17:58] <tham1> maco: yeah, i did, may be some fault with the keyboard :S
[17:58] <pawel__> hwilde,  I don't see it.
[17:58] <maco> tham1: yeah ctrl+alt+backspace is disabled by default for 2 releases now
[17:58] <tham1> hwilde: okay, thanks!
[17:58] <actionparsnip> Slartsa: try online: http://www.apfelkraut.org/2009/02/howto-wlan-ralink-rt2870-usb-stick-kubuntu-810/
[17:58] <hwilde> pawel__, libcpan... look
[17:58] <actionparsnip> Slartsa: will work on any release as you are compiling the driver
[17:59] <actionparsnip> Slartsa: you will need to compile the driver again if you change to a new kernel.
[17:59] <Raverix> Hello, I'm trying to connect to Ubuntu Server (8.04) from Mac. I have CotVNC as my client, and vnc4server xinetd (as my server) I can succesffully connect, but when I do, all I get is a gray screen, with a small terminal console in the top left corner, and a cursor. I have installed the ubuntu desktop already... suggestions?
[17:59] <cognitiaclaeves> hwilde: There is no libsvncpp.so.3. ... So how do I get it installed?
[17:59] <ZykoticK9> tham1, if your using 9.10 (karmic) then ctrl+alt+backspace has been replaced with alt+sysrq+k to kill Xorg
[17:59] <pawel__> hwilde, hwilde: libcpan-plus-perl?
[18:00] <slartsa> err.. I've never compiled anything... :/
[18:00] <tham1> got it! thanks!
[18:00] <hwilde> pawel__, you're asking me what you are looking for ?
[18:00] <pawel__> hwilde, I want to update cpan shell, not cpan library
[18:01] <hwilde> pawel__,  http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/HowToInstallCpanModules
[18:01] <PDG1> is smb.conf the only configuration file needed for Samba? I'm going to try and start over but i want to know if smb.conf is the only thing I need to replace with originals
[18:01] <slartsa> actionparsnip:  I've tried some directions that told me to add my chip to a blacklist, I've tried that

[18:04] <kernel_geek> HEllo get this error when running apt-get - apt-get: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32
[18:05] <cognitiaclaeves> hwilde: Ok.  It's not there.  Am I just sol with being able to install the latest rapidsvn?  What working SVN GUI does Jaunty have?
[18:06] <skot> I'm looking for a little help with a failed soft-raid array (ubuntu-9.10 -2.6.31-17 kernel- raid5 5-disks). I got a replacement drive but on adding the new one, another drive is failing during the sync. It only gets about 55% done, and then fails.
[18:07] <kristi> hi
[18:08] <Oasa> !ask | kristi
[18:08] <hwilde> cognitiaclaeves, nah just symbolic link the one you get to .so.3

[18:08] <_empty> Anybody uses Vaio P notebook? Iam trying to get the graphic to work, intel GMA 500.. any suggestions? I have tried ./poulsbo.sh script, without result. :(
[18:09] <arand> Oasa: preemptive, borderline rude :/
[18:09] <cognitiaclaeves> hwilde: Ok.  Looks like it opens now.  ( Here's hoping the problem wasn't solved in .so.3 )
[18:10] <Oasa> arand : what ?
[18:12] <friday> could anyone tell me how to use xine as a stand alone player?
[18:14] <arand> Oasa: The !ask factoid may be interpreted as "ask or get out" especiall is it's the first thing one hears after joining and saying "hi", just mentioning that it may be interpreted as rude.
[18:14] <phox_> Hi! I want my comp to, at boot, performs to command. First the unmount an external harddrive, then mount it in a special way. How can i add this to autostart? I alreave the commands. In startup applications, can i just add two differents command following themself?

[18:24] <ghabit> friday: Why?

[18:24] <actionparsnip> Friday: try both for a week. You will have a good chance to evaluate both then
[18:25] <Link_> a ti no te han dado???
[18:25] <ghabit> actionparsnip: I think he means default application for viewing.
[18:25] <friday> friday: yes but how do i choose one for the system to use to play a file in movieplayer?
[18:25] <Link_> eooooooooooooooooo
[18:25] <actionparsnip> Friday: ah you mean set the default player
[18:26] <Link_> me escuchas???
[18:26] <friday> actionparsnip: yes
[18:26] <actionparsnip> Friday: under preferences there are some default apps there
[18:27] <ghabit> friday: context menu of video file - you will find options there.
[18:27] <GG19> is there anyway to change your screen resolution ?
[18:27] <actionparsnip> Friday: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=844654
[18:27] <friday> actionparsnip: that only has movieplayer, not xine or totem
[18:27] <actionparsnip> Battery is low so if I drop then I'm not being ignorant
[18:28] <theadmin> GG19: Eh. System - Preferences - Display
[18:28] <GG19> theadmin, thanks :)
[18:29] <friday> ghabit: what is "the context menu"?
[18:29] <DAMEXICO__> The right click menu
[18:29] <actionparsnip> Friday: there's a text file you can edit in your /etc/gnome/defaults.list which the guide I gave outlines
[18:29] <ghabit> friday: right click on video file.
[18:29] <BigDaddyCool> Hello, I have an EeePC 1101HA. The keys for LCD brightness are not working. Brightness adjustment via gnome applet works. Is there an easy way to add it via System->Preferences->Keyboard?
[18:30] <actionparsnip> Friday: if you replace the entries you see to the player you desire it will work (backup the original first)
[18:30] <friday> ghabit: where is "video file"?
[18:30] <charlie__> can someone give me the method for installing in terminal ive downloaded several things from synaptic and they are lost in space

[18:31] <Pavagar> irc.rizon.net
[18:31] <ghabit> friday: You are asking stupid insane question by the way, like 'how do I use my mouse'?

[18:32] <jpds> DAMEXICO__: No.
[18:32] <ghabit> dcver: Well, first you need to plug it into your pc.
[18:32] <ghabit> X)
[18:32] <Pici> wii DAMEXICO__
[18:33] <DAMEXICO__> or you could plug the mouse to your TV antenna port
[18:33] <Tatsuya6400> ubuntu!!!
[18:33] <DAMEXICO__> and y ou will be able to use the mouse to swith channels
[18:33] <theadmin> Tatsuya6400: Yes, Ubuntu. What are you talking about? o_O
[18:33] <Tatsuya6400> there is no trash on my desktop, how can i get it there?
[18:34] <actionparsnip> !trash
[18:34] <theadmin> Tatsuya6400: Trash? It should be in the bottom panel.
[18:34] <paulus68> what is the lightest version of ubuntu that excists?
[18:34] <Trek> Tatsuya6400: if you're running GNOME, check the bottom right icon there
[18:34] <dcver> choppy video in Karmic .... any workarounds yet ?
[18:34] <DAMEXICO__> ubuntu_XFCE
[18:34] <Tatsuya6400> i know but id rather have it on the desktop if its possible
[18:34] <theadmin> paulus68: Xubuntu
[18:34] <charlie__> if you cheat definately dont tell.....ive beenpaying forit daily
[18:34] <danbhfive> paulus68: lubuntu
[18:34] <Trek> Tatsuya6400: you mean like Windows has?
[18:35] <theadmin> danbhfive: This is not ready yet.
[18:35] <DAMEXICO__> ubuntu_XFCE A.K.A XUBNUTU
[18:35] <Tatsuya6400> yes
[18:35] <actionparsnip> Dcver: installed and configured video drivers? Installed ububtu-restricted-extras
[18:35] <mlhoss> ahhh.... probably having Windows flashbacks
[18:35] <phox_> Hi! I want my comp to, at boot, performs to command. First unmount an external harddrive, then mount it in a special way. How can i add this to autostart? In startup applications, can i just add two differents command following themself? I alreave know both the commands.
[18:35] <Trek> *shivers*  Tatsuya6400: why do you want ANYTHING remotely like Windows...
[18:35] <renfox> i think that crunchbang (which is based on debian => ubuntu) is pretty lightweight.
[18:35] <lavin> how do i move round my system in terminal can some one give me a few commands to try please
[18:35] <actionparsnip> Phox_: add a line in /etc/fstab to mount it properly first time
[18:36] <theadmin> renfix: He's asking for a VERSION of Ubuntu, not some Ubuntu respin
[18:36] <Welshy-Rob> Tatsuya6400,  I have a little button at the bottom right of my screen, you can add it by right clicking on your panel and selecting "add to panel"  then select trash = )
[18:36] <Tatsuya6400> cuz its harder to drag stuff to the little trash on the bar
[18:36] <cyqotiq> Tatsuya6400: You can either create a link to ~/.local/share/Trash or there's a nifty piece of software called UbuntuTweak that will add it for you (along with other things to help mess up your system).
[18:36] <lavin> i want to get in downloads
[18:36] <Oasa> lavin: what do you actually want to do ?
[18:36] <grawity> lavin: 'cd somedirectory' to go to somedirectory. 'ls' and 'ls -l' to list files. ('ls -a' and 'ls -la' show hidden ones too.)
[18:36] <Tatsuya6400> thx
[18:36] <paulus68> theadmin: the reason I ask is because the current ubuntu version on my laptop tents to make my cpu fan go grazy. so in your opinion xubuntu is better to avoid heavy cpu usage?
[18:36] <phox_> actionparsnip: Okey! It is a NTFS drive..
[18:36] <theadmin> paulus68: Yeah, Xubuntu is lighter
[18:37] <theadmin> Any difference between "ls" and "dir" at all?
[18:37] <actionparsnip> Lavin: use 'cd' to enter a directory. And 'cd ..' to move up a directory
[18:37] <Welshy-Rob> theadmin,  ls shows executables in colour and dir simply list folders
[18:38] <Welshy-Rob> files *
[18:38] <actionparsnip> Lavin: then type cd $HOME/Downloads
[18:38] <grawity> Welshy-Rob: dir supports colours t oo.
[18:38] <cyqotiq> theadmin: and 'dir' is 1 letter longer than 'ls'
[18:38] <cyqotiq> :)
[18:38] <actionparsnip> Phox_: doesn't matter. And its an ntfs partition
[18:38] <theadmin> actionparsnip: What's that "$HOME"? Isn't it "~"?
[18:38] <grawity> theadmin: 'dir' is equivalent to 'ls -Cb'
[18:38] <actionparsnip> Theadmin: same thing
[18:38] <Tatsuya6400> the link to trash doesnt work like actually dragging something to trash, and yes, im a 3 day old convert to linux from windows :P
[18:38] <Oasa> yah ~ is home directory
[18:39] <mlhoss> can i network my pc to my wireless laptop to have total laptop control from the pc?
[18:39] <actionparsnip> Theadmin: this keyboard doesn't have a tilde key
[18:39] <grawity> theadmin: Almost all the time, the shell expands both ~ and $HOME to the same home directory.
[18:39] <lavin> i try that and it says no file or directory i go and try again
[18:39] <Tatsuya6400> meh, im just gonna get used to where the trash is on the title bar
[18:39] <grawity> (The differences are that $HOME is a shell variable, changeable, and value of ~ is taken from /etc/passwd, same for ~anyuser)
[18:39] <phox_> actionparsnip: will this work after i reboot or directly?
[18:39] <actionparsnip> Mlhoss: sure, just enable the sharing of the desktop. Most apps have webuis now which are much sleeker
[18:40] <mlhoss> right click... move to trash... in kubuntu, anyway
[18:40] <theadmin> mlhoss: Same in Ubuntu.
[18:40] <cyqotiq> Tatsuya6400: Don't worry about the "Windows flashback" thing.  You're going to get hazed from both camps from time to time.  Water off a duck's back.  You can use UbuntuTweak to show desktop icons for Trash, Documents, and even a "My Computer" type icon that launches nautilus.
[18:40] <actionparsnip> Phox_: you can unmount it then run: sudo mount -a
[18:40] <lavin> actionparsnip: i type cd /home that works
[18:40] <lavin> actionparsnip:  cd /Downloads from there no such F/D
[18:40] <actionparsnip> Lavin: yes now you need to cd to your username where the downloads folder is, use tab to autocomplete
[18:41] <Tatsuya6400> im having trouble syncing 3rd generation ipod nano's, is there anything i can do?
[18:41] <grawity> lavin: First, $HOME is not /home. It is /home/lavin. (Assuming your Ubuntu username is 'lavin'.)
[18:41] <actionparsnip> Lavin: cd /home/$USER/Downloads
[18:41] <Pici> !case
[18:41] <actionparsnip> !ipod | Tatsuya6400
[18:42] <cyqotiq> !RockBox
[18:42] <syockit> lavin: from /home, you have to cd Downloads . if you put in the leading /, it'll start from top again
[18:42] <phox_> actionparsnip: didnt work, got an error. Bad line. Here is what i wrote in fstab: "mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /home/johan/Desktop/NTFS -o uid=johan,gid=users,umask=0000"
[18:42] <lavin> actionparsnip:  i got it thanks now if i want to get into a file i go cd / file name?
[18:42] <Oasa> !case
[18:42] <Speed9> hay i had tryd to instal Ubuntu and XUbuntu but i have Error 5 In/ex-put
[18:43] <actionparsnip> Phox_: you need to rearrange the command to fit fstab, look at the other lines and online guides

[18:48] <haseebh2O> any idea how to fix it ?
[18:48] <yaaar> theadmin: ok, that worked. but now the account in empathy just doesn't work...just says "network error" and prompts me to edit the account and put the password back in. used to be (with pidgin) it would just ask for the password when i opened it, which is what i want
[18:48] <Welshy-Rob> lavin,  i was the same , but you pick it up quickly , its much easier to learn than windows in my opinion and there is a great community xD
[18:48] <theadmin> Sometimes after I log in, my desktop is all orange and is unclickable, has no icons too. What can be the problem?
[18:48] <haseebh2O> same here
[18:49] <haseebh2O> its clickable
[18:49] <haseebh2O> but no icons
[18:49] <haseebh2O> only the taskbar
[18:49] <FloodBot2> haseebh2O: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:49] <theadmin> yaaar: Well, you probably should switch back to Pidgin, it's actually better.
[18:49] <Welshy-Rob> haseebh2O,  have you checked that "visual effects" are enabled?
[18:49] <haseebh2O> i cant
[18:49] <haseebh2O> no icons Welshy-Rob
[18:49] <hiexpo> yes pidgin is the best
[18:49] <haseebh2O> im new to this Welshy-Rob ,sorry :(
[18:49] <Oasa> pidgin rocks :D
[18:49] <yaaar> theadmin: so if pidgin is better why did ubuntu switch to empathy?
[18:50] <hiexpo> i have all my messnagers on it
[18:50] <Oasa> yaar : to support video
[18:50] <Oasa> I know 2.6.4 have video
[18:50] <haseebh2O> Welshy-Rob:  i have just managed to open firefox somehow inorder to come to irc and fix the problem
[18:50] <Welshy-Rob> haseebh2O,  no worries
[18:50] <theadmin> yaaar: Empathy is based on telepathy backend, it's quite awesome. But empathy GUI is just... bleh
[18:50] <Oasa> but when karmic was created it dint have video support
[18:50] <DAMEXICO__> So i guess that rules out pidgin as the best then
[18:50] <DAMEXICO__> maybe you just got used to pidgin
[18:50] <Welshy-Rob> haseebh2O, are you admin?
[18:50] <haseebh2O> Welshy-Rob:  graphics card 9600m GT i update to my knowledge 185.xx

[19:01] <Welshy-Rob> haseebh2O,  oh , everything still not right?
[19:01] <hiexpo> PDG1, well is it already updated when i do a system update ?
[19:01] <rexha> hiexepo the latetes version of pidgin is 2.6.5 but in ubuntu respos is 2.6.2 so it's better to use ubuntu's one or www.pidgin.im
[19:01] <haseebh2O> Welshy-Rob:  nope
[19:01] <Tatsuya6400> Can i get a working link to quirk checker script please?
[19:02] <Welshy-Rob> haseebh2O, humm i dont know sorry = ( im not that experienced my self sorry for wasting your time
[19:02] <haseebh2O> Welshy-Rob:  same thing just the panel,this all happened after the update or anything that was marked in the synaptic manager
[19:02] <haseebh2O> Welshy-Rob:  no problem
[19:02] <Pici> Tatsuya6400: No one knows what that is.  If you explain perhaps someone can answer you.
[19:02] <PDG1> hiexpo: well it's part of the repository... so I'd say so. When you update the system it updates all the packages
[19:02] <mlhoss> 2nd question.. with kubuntu karmic on the pc, and ubuntu on the laptop, i could still have network control over the laptop?
[19:03] <Welshy-Rob> haseebh2O,  you could try uninstalling the package ?
[19:03] <hiexpo> ok got it had to use my noddle a bit lol pidgin -v
[19:03] <Tatsuya6400> i have trouble recovering my laptop from suspend, the help and support says to try quirk script checker, but the internet link is broken, i was wondering if any1 knew what to do?
[19:03] <yaaar> wow. so there you have it...empathy just straight-up won't let you create an account without storing the password. and it's been a known bug for like 2.5 years. and yet they still made it the default IM for Karmic. that's so insane i can't get my head around it. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/118800
[19:04] <rexha> Tatsuya6400: go to www.ubuntuforums.org and ask that question, they will answer more correctly than in this mess

[19:27] <wash> Uh, so, I just re-installed Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop on my Macbook 5-1 (aluminum unibody). For some reason, https://help.ubuntu.com/community <- this page is showing up in spanish. I've tried restarting my computer, clearing the cache, uninstalling firefox,
[19:27] <hwilde> wash, edit, preferences, content, languages
[19:27] <saraqual> Just a quick question if you please, I am an avid gamer, but the rest of my gaming horde uses Ventrilo, any substitute on ubuntu, or will I have to build up something from scratch?
[19:27] <wash> It's -really- annoying. I've not seen any similiar results when I googled it. Anyone have any idea how I can fix this? It's just this one page
[19:28] <wash> Tried that hwilde.
[19:28] <Oasa> llutz : There is no documentation available :(
[19:28] <nathan7> ^icy-ice^: ooh, cool

[19:28] <nathan7> ^icy-ice^: but I can listen to it without using the OS =p
[19:28] <Welshy-Rob> saraqual, look at wine
[19:28] <wash> every other page is in english
[19:28] <hwilde> wash, you just reinstalled?  try making a new user and see if they are spanish too

[19:29] <^icy-ice^> nathan7: right, so check the OpenBSD 4.6 song, dude.
[19:29] <hwilde> it was edited today and turned into spanish
[19:29] <wash> that's pretty funny.
[19:29] <saraqual> Rob, well, I am looking at moving everything on the gaming side over to the ubuntu side, I've used wine in the past (3 - 4 years ago) but it was sluggish for the gaming, is there some other emulator which I can use that would take care of Vent and the gaming requirements?
[19:29] <hwilde> the previous diff is english
[19:29] <Welshy-Rob> saraqual, see this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=41737
[19:29] <wash> *nods*
[19:30] <wash> That would explain things
[19:30] <hwilde> you should login and revert it to english tbh
[19:30] <Pici> hwilde: I'll poke someone about it.
[19:30] <saraqual> Lemme check quickly :)
[19:30] <Welshy-Rob> saraqual, i am not sure sorry
[19:30] <wash> I think I can edit it
[19:30] <wash> I have a launchpad account
[19:30] <llutz> Oasa: you don't really ask _me_ to read _your_ documentation, don't you?
[19:31] <hwilde> wash, well you can just view the previous page for now
[19:31] <Oasa> llutz : I dont have a documentation and there is no documentation
[19:31] <Oasa> llutz : I installed vpnc
[19:31] <Oasa> llutz : its asking me IPsec gateway. Whats it?
[19:31] <saraqual> Ah, no worries Rob :) B.t.w, I am applying for a new job, they want me to configure and run digital pabx's like asterix ... would it better to get the asterix destro for that, or would it be better to grab ubuntu and load asterix on it?
[19:31] <saraqual> Just an opinion poll of sorts :P
[19:31] <bcj> Under which package do I submit CD/DVD drive issues?
[19:31] <wash> Well, shouldn't I change it back?
[19:32] <nathan7> kernel?
[19:32] <hwilde> saraqual, you better get ubuntu server and tons of ram
[19:32] <bcj> nathan7: That was my first thought, but I don't want to bother those guys if there is a specific owner.
[19:33] <saraqual> Yeah? Shyte... I thought I could build a test rig at home, but the dammed hardware here is expensive, so I might have to hold up on that one

[19:39] <Guest86127> i am wondering ohw can i see my network with ubuntu
[19:40] <Trek> Guest86127, define "see your network"
[19:40] <Guest86127> i have a gentoo box. both ubuntu and gentoo are connected to my AP (wifi)
[19:40] <kothog> i am following some dependencies for a project i'm building from souce and i keep running into lib not found.  libSM not found. libxrandr not found.. etc. Is there a way, on a normal system, to find meta-packages that *provide* a single one of these libraries, and thus potentially locate a one-liner apt-get i can use to try and get everything i need?
[19:40] <HTbeeJay> hey guys, anyone here has ubuntu running on lenovos latest t410?
[19:40] <Guest86127> Trek: i d like to be able to see the other coputer and drag and drop files, or connect through them with an export display, etc
[19:41] <fromWinToLin> Guest82857, the non-traditional way is to browse the network share with Nautilus (which will mount it as readable only to Nautilus or Nautlis-aware applications).
[19:41] <Guest86127> anything graphical to copy and paste files, etc. The other problem i have is when i try to set my DLNA certified TV: not able to see my omputers
[19:41] <kothog> i've tried apt-cache rdepends.. but that doesn't do it.
[19:41] <fromWinToLin> That was meant for Guest86127.
[19:41] <Trek> Guest86127, sorry, had to switch off of the web-FTP-access
[19:42] <Guest86127> Trek fromWinToLin it s ok
[19:42] <Trek> Guest86127, you can easily achieve FTP with SFTP/SSH
[19:42] <Trek> Guest86127, you can easily achieve Fdrag-and-drop with SFTP/SSH*
[19:42] <fromWinToLin> Guest86127, open up Nautilus (the file browser for GNOME), and then type in something like this: smb://<IP_ADDRESS>/myshare
[19:42] <Seveas> fromWinToLin, err, that's not entirely true. What nautilus accesses can be found in ~/.gvfs/ for non-file-url aware applications
[19:43] <fromWinToLin> Guest86127, of course, replace the IP address with the actual computer's IP address, and replace "myshare" with the actual share name.
[19:43] <fromWinToLin> Seveas, did not know that. That can come in handy, definitely.
[19:44] <male_renamon> my software downloads are very slow and i have a great connection. wats the problem here?
[19:44] <fromWinToLin> Seveas, but for shares I need available 24/7, I just mount them with autofs somewhere in /mnt/.
[19:44] <Seveas> fromWinToLin, and nautilus can be taught to pass the names in ~/.gvfs when opening such applications :)
[19:44] <Andria> when i use the Shortcuts to mount an NTFS, which command is use ? Thanks :)
[19:44] <Guest86127> well ok then so i don t know which is the IP of the other box
[19:44] <AndyB> Hello, world
[19:44] <Andria> male_renamon, maybe the server is busy :)
[19:45] <fromWinToLin> Guest86127, on the other box, type: ifconfig
[19:45] <fromWinToLin> Guest82857, this should show you the IP address for the active network adapter.
[19:45] <male_renamon> hmm maybe im trying to get frets on fire
[19:45] <jeffjeffdejeff> hi all. looking for advice on how to add another hdd to my setup.  have managed to format the disk which shows up when i do fdisk -l as sdb1.  but when i try to mount using "sudo mount /dev/sdb1" i get "can't find /dev/sdb1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab"  can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong please?
[19:46] <AndyB> Dear channel .. does anybody in here successfully operates an USB Hub at 2.0 speed with Linux?
[19:46] <male_renamon> are there any known problems with that programs?
[19:46] <fromWinToLin> jeffjeffdejeff, not enough arguments. You need to specify where you want to mount it (location in the file system tree.) For example: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/newhdd
[19:47] <fromWinToLin> jeffjeffdejeff, it's recommended you create an empty directory where you want to mount it to.
[19:47] <Guest86127> fromWinToLin: i am on it thanks
[19:47] <male_renamon> are there any known problems with the program frets on fire?

[19:48] <BigDaddyCool> Hello, I have an EeePC 1101HA. The keys for LCD brightness are not working. Brightness adjustment via gnome applet works. Is there an easy way to add it via System->Preferences->Keyboard?
[19:48] <fromWinToLin> jeffjeffdejeff, after that, you can access the new drive under /mnt/newhdd (and even create shortcuts to it, etc.) If you want this to be done on boot up, add an entry in /etc/fstab
[19:48] <Guest86127> fromWinToLin: ok so i can ping my other box
[19:48] <nathan7> Okay, wtf.
[19:48] <AndyB> My USB Hub disconnects after some time with heavy load, leaving "Cannot enable port 2.  Maybe the USB cable is bad?" in the dmesg log. I googled for hours, there's more than 500.000 hits and there's a almost three years old bug filed for Ubuntu aswell. I can't believe it's such a mess to use USB2.0 with Linux.

[19:48] <mEck0> Hi! I have problems with connecting to a hidden WLAN with WPA2 encryption from a ASUS EEE901. I have broadcast ssid disabled and when I add the hidden wlan, it can't be found, hence not connected to. If I remember right, this eee has a Racom 2860 network card
[19:48] <fromWinToLin> jeffjeffdejeff, create a new directory somewhere. Preferreably within the /mnt/ directory.  I have java runtime installed, but java applets don't work in chrome or firefox. can anyone help me?
[19:49] <fromWinToLin> jeffjeffdejeff, then mount the newly formatted partition in that location: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/newhdd
[19:49] <Guest86127> Trek, i haven t. i d like to see the other computer, in anyway.
[19:49] <AndyB> KaiForce: I've read that a hundred times today. But: Windows works fine. Actually, I have tried 3 HUBs already. Can't believe they are all crap.
[19:49] <Guest86127> i can SFTP from one to another, but port 22 refused the connection
[19:49] <Sargun> A) How do I get more virtual desktops in gnome?
[19:49] <Guest86127> is that going to be really hard°
[19:49] <Guest86127> ?
[19:49] <Trek> Guest86127, you need to open port 22 then through the firewall
[19:49] <fromWinToLin> jeffjeffdejeff, and to access the drive, nagivate to /mnt/newdhh (or even create a shortcut to it for more convenience.)
[19:49] <fromWinToLin> *navigate
[19:49] <KaiForce> AndyB: what controllers are they?
[19:49] <AndyB> Even if they are crap, why do they work with Windows, and they don't work with Linux
[19:49] <acicula> Sargun: err via preferences
[19:49] <fromWinToLin> *newhdd
[19:50] <Trek> Guest86127, I don't like setting up VNC, so I just SSH into my computers;
[19:50] <Guest86127> i don t mind the way it could be done, really. i just want the easiest way.
[19:50] <CAPcap> sargun right click and select preferences then chan # of rows/columns
[19:50] <Guest86127> Trek: ok so i have to open port. A GUI in ubuntu?

[19:50] <CAPcap> sargun no problem

[19:50] <Sargun> B) Network manager doesn't support vlans, yet my ethernet interface is trunked. I can't use stuff like empathy unless NM says the connection is up. Any ideas?
[19:50] <Trek> Guest86127, Firestarter or gufw will do the trick, and auto-config your iptables which will open the port
[19:50] <AndyB> I have the same USB trouble with my SheevaPlug
[19:50] <Trek> Guest86127, wait, thats ubuntu
[19:51] <Guest42361> can anyone here help my with setting my remote up
[19:51] <fromWinToLin> jeffjeffdejeff, take a look at the file /etc/fstab  (this file contains a list of mounts to be mounted upon booting up the system, automatically.) You can edit it with root privileges (example sudo gedit /etc/fstab) and add your own custom entries, such as this one you just made.
[19:51] <acicula> nm doesnt support vlans?
[19:51] <jeffjeffdejeff> fromwintolin: oooh you're good
[19:51] <Trek> Guest86127, you'll have to configure the firewall on the other box to accept on port 22
[19:51] <Trek> thats all
[19:51] <Trek> i'm of
[19:51] <acicula> acura: i havent had problems with vlans and ubuntu, can you rephrase your problem?
[19:51] <jeffjeffdejeff> fromwintolin: ok, what would i need to put in fstab to now make it mounted at boot?
[19:51] <CAPcap> I have a saitek p880 dual analog usb controller. i cant find anything but windows drivers. any suggestions?
[19:51] <acicula> s/acura/ Sargun
[19:51] <nightfrog> gksudo gedit /etc/fstab would be better
[19:52] <fromWinToLin> jeffjeffdejeff, here's a good article on it: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html
[19:52] <Wanderer> Anyone have dhcpd working with ipv6?
[19:52] <acicula> Wanderer: its on by default
[19:52] <fromWinToLin> jeffjeffdejeff, I can give you a basic example, but change it to your liking.
[19:52] <lory80> I have to reactivate the CUPS server to get the active printer at every boot. with the command sudo etc / init.d / cups restart. there 'way to make permanent the start the start the CUPS server?
[19:52] <acicula> Wanderer: or is this about assigning ips?

[19:53] <Flamey> fromWinToLin: Isn't he better to use sudo -e such as not to give his editor root privileges?
[19:53] <sergio> ola
[19:53] <sergio> ola
[19:53] <fromWinToLin> jeffjeffdejeff, here is an example of a line you can add: /dev/sdb1     /mnt/newhdd     ext3     defaults     0     0

[19:53] <spiderman> ñ,,kkkk
[19:53] <jeffjeffdejeff> fromwintolin:  that's great so far, thanks.  possible silly question, but when it's mounted, i take it all folders/subdirectories within that point are accessible?  do i need a uuid to put in fstab?
[19:53] <Guest86127> guys so no one of you see his other boxes out of the box?
[19:54] <fromWinToLin> jeffjeffdejeff, it's better if you use the uuid or partition ID instead of the dynamic link. Example: Use /dev/disk/by-id/blahblahlbah-part1   instead of   /dev/sdb1
[19:55] <fromWinToLin> jeffjeffdejeff, yes, when you mount it, it gives you access to the entire file system (ext2, ext 3, ext4, whatever) that you created earlier. It's like plugging in a USB drive and having access to everything within the USB drive.
[19:55] <CAPcap> I have a saitek p880 dual analog usb gamepad. i cant find anything but windows drivers. any suggestions?
[19:56] <fromWinToLin> jeffjeffdejeff, I have to run, seriously! I might be late. Hopefully others here (and I'm sure) will be able to help you more.
[19:56] <Scunizi> Is there anything in the repos for an admin to initiate a remote desktop connection to a user that may or may not be behind a firewall?
[19:56] <jeffjeffdejeff> fromwintolin - sorry - didnt realise you needed to dash.  thanks ever so much!
[19:56] <arghh2d2> i just got a new harddrive, i want it to mount up at boot but i want  regular users (or at least one reguser) to have full +rwx permissions...would the options  auto,user in fstab be sufficient? cuz auto by itself doesnt include +x  but auto seems to be necesary for boot mounting
[19:57] <CAPcap> I have a saitek p880 dual analog usb gamepad. i cant find anything but windows drivers. any suggestions?
[19:58] <Guest86127> ok i solved it!

[19:59] <jexmex> anybody else heard of problems with ubuntu 9.10 acting funny after waking up, or not waking up at all (after it goes into suspend mode)
[19:59] <lory80> I have to reactivate the CUPS server to get the active printer at every boot. with the command sudo etc / init.d / cups restart. there 'way to make permanent the start the start the CUPS server?
[19:59] <wash> Jexmex, yah
[19:59] <wash> I have the same issues
[19:59] <VCoolio> jeffjeffdejeff: sorry, just looked into the channel; if you want write access to the partitions you're automounting I think you need "user,defaults" (no spaces) instead of just defaults
[19:59] <wash> But it's probably cause efi hates me on my end
[20:00] <Scunizi> Sargun: if your machine is part of one vlan then the ip and netmask should be set to what is required of that vlan
[20:00] <hajmola> how come my external harddrive suddenly got named "4947-234F"? Is there a way I can change that?
[20:00] <bastid_raZor> GrandPixel: sudo chmod o+rx  folder   ..that will allow everyone not in the group or owner to get into that directory
[20:00] <GrandPixel> ok thanks bastid_raZor
[20:00] <jexmex> I installed it on two older computers we are going to use for data entry, the laptop acts funny after it wakes up (the mouse acts like the computer is lagging bad and trying to lock up), the other one will not wake up, its in a comma, lol
[20:00] <Scunizi> Sargun: #networking might be a better channel for that type of question..
[20:00] <dskippy> I am having a problem upgrading an old machine that was on gutsy gibbon. I ran "sudo do-release-upgrade" it upgraded to hardy heron fine. I tried running that command after the upgrade and now it does not find a new version. I want to get to karmic-koala.
[20:01] <bastid_raZor> GrandPixel: you'll also need to add w if you're wanting to be able to write to it..  but that defeats the purpose of changing owner/group.
[20:01] <hajmola> dskippy, best idea is to do a clean install
[20:01] <dskippy> I tried to copy a karmic koala sources.list and run apt-get dist-upgrade but that gives lots of errors.
[20:01] <DAMEXICO_> o
[20:01] <dskippy> hajmola: Problem there is I am not physically at the machine.
[20:02] <guntbert> !upgrade | dskippy
[20:02] <GrandPixel> are the terms "user" and "owner" synonomous in linux?
[20:02] <dskippy> guntbert: Thanks. Reading.
[20:03] <Guest86127> OK SO THIS WORK IF i start the sshd daemon in the other box: but the other way is not available, cause i need to satrt the ssh server on my ubuntu as well
[20:03] <Guest86127> how can i do this?
[20:03] <kothog> GrandPixel: no.
[20:03] <bastid_raZor> Guest86127: install openssh-server on both boxes
[20:03] <guntbert> GrandPixel: yes and no, the owner is the user that owns the file, but in the permission he is called "user" :)
[20:04] <Guest86127> bastid_raZor: one of the boxes is ok. i just need to run the ssh daemon every boot
[20:04] <Guest86127> onthe other box
[20:04] <Guest86127> how can i start this on ubuntu?
[20:04] <bastid_raZor> Guest86127: openssh-server being installed it will do it itself..
[20:04] <guntbert> dskippy: and see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades

[20:16] <mobi-sheep> station: There are no ideal way but there are many ways. For starters, you could take a look in ubuntu-desktop metapackage and determine what packages are installed; then remove those.

[20:26] <rychu> chyba
[20:26] <darkmaster977> on the motherboard
[20:26] <mobi-sheep> miranda_82: Use a terminal instead of TTY? ;\  I would think HDMI is something related to Xorg.

[20:26] <noise_> what is aircrack,?
[20:26] <cbx33> oooooooh
[20:27] <darkmaster977> aircrack is a program
[20:27] <darkmaster977> xd
[20:27] <noise_> wow
[20:27] <Pici> darkmaster977: When helping, be helpful.
[20:27] <noise_> really?
[20:27] <Trek> noise_ its software to crack wifi systems, but you shouldn't hack :P
[20:27] <darkmaster977> to chacking wifi networks with wep and wpa
[20:27] <pfifo> aircrack is used to hack WEP and other wireless security.
[20:27] <noise_> so i can find the password ?
[20:27] <Trek> which is illegal, noise_
[20:27] <noise_> ok
[20:27] <darkmaster977> yes
[20:27] <noise_> where can i find a tutorial?
[20:28] <darkmaster977> on yt
[20:28] <noise_> is easy to learn
[20:28] <MTecknology> !grub2
[20:28] <pfifo> no its not illegal, its illegal to steal bandwidth, finding the security key is ok
[20:28] <MTecknology> !restoregrub
[20:28] <miranda_82> mobi-sheep, so HDMI depends on X Window?
[20:28] <station> mobi-sheep, I don't want kde
[20:28] <station> it removes everything related to it
[20:28] <Trek> can you stop talking about illegally hacking security and what not?  it's making me want to get the international governments involved
[20:28] <station> including the mouse driver and stuff
[20:28] <J0NnYe> what language used in TRIN00 who knows?
[20:28] <guntbert> !ot | darkmaster977, noise_
[20:28] <Pici> noise_: We don't provide support for it in this channel, you'll have to look elsewhere.
[20:28] <noise_> ok
[20:28] <Pici> guntbert: We don't support aircrack in -offtopic either.
[20:29] <miranda_82> noise_, i missed your question, what was it?
[20:29] <mobi-sheep> miranda_82: You could try #xorg or #nvidia
[20:29] <Trek> Pici, what's the ! tag that states stuff regarding legal/ people-uncomfortable-with-illegal-activities thing?
[20:29] <cbx33> noise_, goto remote-exploit.org
[20:29] <cbx33> sorry
[20:29] <cbx33> .com
[20:29] <guntbert> Pici: sorry, you are right - you found the better words anyway :)
[20:29] <miranda_82> mobi-sheep, do you think there is a change to get grub on the HDMI?
[20:29] <guntbert> Trek: piracy
[20:29] <Pici> Trek: !illegal
[20:29] <noise_> thank you
[20:30] <miranda_82> aircrack is not piracy at all guys..
[20:30] <noise_> i have wifi around my house but they have pass,so can i use them ?
[20:30] <mobi-sheep> station: That command should remove (all or most of) Ubuntu-Gnome packages. Don't have to install KDE.
[20:30] <CAPcap> I have a saitek p880 dual analog usb gamepad. i cant find anything but windows drivers. any suggestions?
[20:30] <Pici> miranda_82: The !piracy and !illegal factoids point to the same block of text, thats all,.
[20:30] <miranda_82> noise_, if it does not belong to you, or you are not authorized, its illegal
[20:30] <station> i understand, I tried it yesterday
[20:30] <miranda_82> Pici, no worries
[20:30] <station> it won't recognize the mouse attached, even though the optical light is on
[20:30] <cbx33> who's this saying aircrack is illegal :)
[20:30] <noise_> i my country its not a problem ! :P
[20:30] <pfifo> noise_, ask them, they might let you, specially if you offer to pay a portion of the bill
[20:31] <station> it won't display anything in the LXDE session
[20:31] <miranda_82> noise_, even in some countries, its illegal to connect to someones wifi even if they are not protected
[20:31] <cbx33> miranda_82, such as the UK
[20:31] <noise_> i am from albania!
[20:31] <Pici> !offtopic
[20:31] <miranda_82> cbx33, good point :)
[20:32] <cbx33> but, there is nothing wrong with testing the strength of your own wireless
[20:32] <station> mobi-sheep, another thing is that this machine uses a wireless crad
[20:32] <mobi-sheep> station: You could try reinstalling lubuntu-desktop packages. Some packages are overlaying with others.
[20:32] <miranda_82> cbx33, exactly, you are absolutely wright
[20:32] <station> thus there is no utility to configrure it
[20:32] <cbx33> noise_, I wouldn't like to comment on your laws there, but I certainly wouldn't advocate using other peoples wireless without their permission
[20:32] <miranda_82> *right
[20:32] <noise_> okok
[20:33] <pfifo> I am looking to remove gnome-panel from my install but I need something to replace it with, dose anyone know of a different taskbar/panel solution?
[20:33] <lieuwe> probably the wrong place to ask, but are there any multiplayer games that you can play on both ubuntu and windowze?
[20:33] <cbx33> lieuwe, sure there are
[20:33] <cbx33> Tremulous
[20:33] <cbx33> armagettron
[20:33] <lieuwe> cbx33: where could i find those :-p?
[20:33] <pfifo> secondlife
[20:33] <cbx33> google :p
[20:34] <Slart> !games | lieuwe
[20:34] <lieuwe> ubottu: thanks
[20:34] <Slart> lieuwe: there's also another site.. that I keep forgetting the name of.. happypenguin.org
[20:34] <CAPcap> I have a saitek p880 dual analog usb gamepad. i cant find anything but windows drivers. any suggestions?
[20:35] <cbx33> CAPcap, hmmm
[20:35] <J0NnYe> who knows about PHp
[20:35] <J0NnYe> ?
[20:35] <cbx33> J0NnYe, what ya wanna know
[20:35] <Slart> lieuwe: most of Id softwares stuff is available on linux as well.. quake wars, enemy territory and so on
[20:35] <pfifo> CAPcap, I have a p2500, it just works
[20:35] <cbx33> CAPcap, is it detected as a USB device?
[20:36] <CAPcap> cbx33, idk um how would i check?
[20:36] <lieuwe> the problem isn finding linux games, the problem is running them on windowze
[20:36] <J0NnYe> cbx33 php injection..do u know?
[20:36] <cbx33> CAPcap, load up terminal
[20:36] <pfifo> J0NnYe, php, go...
[20:36] <cbx33> and type dmesg
[20:37] <cbx33> J0NnYe, what type of php injection
[20:37] <cbx33> and for what reasons
[20:37] <CAPcap> ok well i see my controller listed in the mile of stuff that showed up
[20:37] <J0NnYe> cbx33 i dont know how i can get a shell
[20:37] <Slart> lieuwe: enemy territory, doom and so on might just be available on windows.. I'm not sure if any of the games in the Doom series was ever considered a hit on windows.. but I understand they might be more popular on linux.. ;)  <-- major sarcasm smiley here
[20:37] <J0NnYe> cbx33 or a good shell
[20:38] <cbx33> J0NnYe, you're not being very clear,
[20:38] <cbx33> plus this topic is probably best discussed in a php channel
[20:39] <brandonban6> Anyone here use Autokey in Ubuntu; if so I have a scripting question.
[20:39] <J0NnYe> cbx33 sure
[20:39] <Slart> lieuwe: this page actually has a pretty nice list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_gaming#id_Software
[20:39] <lieuwe> Slart: iḿ really looking for games i can multiplay with someone on a windows pc...
[20:39] <guntbert> J0NnYe: ask in ##php
[20:40] <cbx33> guntbert, beat me to it
[20:40] <cbx33> J0NnYe, ^^
[20:40] <guntbert> cbx33: :)
[20:40] <Ose> so, my computer crashed while I was working in this program called RedNotebook, and now it doesn't start up properly
[20:40] <Ose> it goes straight to the gray unresponsive screen
[20:40] <Ose> help?
[20:41] <Slart> lieuwe: yes? all the games I've mentioned have native clients on both windows and linux
[20:41] <Ose> it as in the program I mean
[20:41] <CAPcap> cbx33, its working fine i guess the game i was setting it up for before just didnt like it
[20:41] <Slart> lieuwe: many of the games on the webpage I linked you too also have clients for more than one OS..
[20:41] <CAPcap> thanks
[20:41] <lieuwe> Slart: rly? all the sites pointed to mention nothing out windows/ports
[20:41] <cbx33> np
[20:43] <cbx33> right now back to ASM and NASM!
[20:43] <Slart> lieuwe: Enemy territory.... Quake Wars ... Doom 3...
[20:44] <miranda_82> i LOOOOOOOVe enemy territory
[20:44] <pfifo> ET was alot of fun
[20:44] <Trek> !ot | miranda_82, pfifo
[20:44] <miranda_82> oh cmon
[20:44] <miranda_82> what an ass
[20:44] <miranda_82> cant make a comment?

[20:44] <Trek> !language | miranda_82
[20:45] <knightrage> so im thinking of installing ubuntu on a small thumbdrive for occasional use (using a public windows laptop, and i would like to have complete access). is that a good idea? if so, what would be the best version to download (desktop or netbook remix)?
[20:45] <w3b4> KK
[20:45] <guntbert> !attitude | miranda_82
[20:45] <miranda_82> pffffffff
[20:46] <miranda_82> so, what are we allowed to talk here?
[20:46] <guntbert> miranda_82: ubuntu support
[20:46] <miranda_82> If I say that GNOME is good, is that offtopic as well?
[20:46] <guntbert> miranda_82: yes
[20:46] <Trek> miranda_82: anything else can be talked about in #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:46] <Pici> miranda_82: This is a support channel, so if you're asking or answering questions or watching, thats fine.  Discusssion is in #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:47] <miranda_82> so the php injection conversation was fine,
[20:47] <miranda_82> but saying that ET is fun is offtopic
[20:47] <miranda_82> excellent
[20:47] <jonaskoelker> Hi all.  I've noticed that wpa supplicant (in roaming mode) doesn't appear to reliably execute my "down" commands when I leave certain access points.  How come?
[20:48] <jonaskoelker> I just pick up my laptop and leave the radio coverage area.  Is that related?
[20:48] <bitzy> hello, I am a new ubuntu user... can I use Yahoo messenger on this SO?
[20:48] <miranda_82> you guys should  definitely calm down a litte bit and take it easy
[20:48] <Trek> bitzy, not really.  you can use Pidgin though to use the IM feature of Yahoo though
[20:48] <Slart> bitzy: yes.. you can either use empathy, that might already be installed, or try pidgin
[20:48] <Slart> !im
[20:48] <wash> I'm having some problems with apt-get on my server. Just installed server 9.10 + LAMP + OpenSSH. SItting on a VLAN behind a NAT w/ static outward facing IP. I'm able to SSH in from within the network, and apache/mysql seem to be running fine, but whenever I apt-get anything, I'm being told it can't be found
[20:48] <brandonban6> bitzy, you can also try www.meebo.com
[20:49] <e-DIO-t> and I mean: WHY canonical started supporting empathy?! :°°°
[20:49] <wash> Can't do sudo apt-get update either
[20:49] <bitzy> thank you!
[20:49] <sheepherd> yo all... im new to ubuntu and running this automatic update thing right now... and now it asks me: "what would you like to do about grub?" what shall i do?
[20:49] <jonaskoelker> sheepherd: what are your options?
[20:49] <bitzy> I was more interested in the file sharing competences of the original Y! messenger...
[20:49] <guntbert> e-DIO-t: this channel is for support - discussions in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[20:49] <Slart> e-DIO-t: wasn't it Gnome that started having empathy as some kind of default?
[20:49] <bitzy> :D
[20:49] <sheepherd> keep the local version currently installed <- selected by default
[20:50] <jonaskoelker> bitzy: you can try running it under wine
[20:50] <sheepherd> install the package maintainer's version
[20:50] <sheepherd> show the differences between the versions
[20:50] <toto> hi!
[20:50] <sheepherd> show a side-by-side difference between the versions
[20:50] <jonaskoelker> sheepherd: have you edited /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[20:50] <miranda_82> it was about the fact that empathy had already video chat support and gnome did not have it at the time the decision was taken
[20:50] <bitzy> oooo
[20:50] <guntbert> !enter | sheepherd
[20:50] <e-DIO-t> [dunno: tought it was canonical. END of the OT]
[20:50] <sheepherd> oh sry :)
[20:50] <Slart> bitzy: usually the text message stuff works nicely.. but things like video, file sharing and other special things might not work reliably on linux
[20:50] <sheepherd> jonaskoelker no i havent
[20:50] <Guest34964> i have a question: i connected my PC to my plasma TV through HDMI. but the sound doesn t go out from the TV speakers. how can i do this?
[20:50] <jonaskoelker> sheepherd: then it should be safe to go with the package maintainer's version
[20:51] <jonaskoelker> sheepherd: to to be certain, pastebin the differences
[20:51] <pfifo> wher can I find a list of ! commands?
[20:51] <jonaskoelker> sheepherd: (and tell me the url)
[20:51] <Slart> !bot | pfifo
[20:51] <miranda_82> Guest34964, are you using the pusleaudio applet?
[20:51] <Guest34964> miranda_82: no and i don t know what it is :(
[20:52] <sheepherd> jonaskoelker: ya of course :P im new to ubuntu not to pc's
[20:52] <Guest34964> i thought the sound would go naturrally and simply through the HDMI plug
[20:52] <miranda_82> Guest34964, system, preferences, sound
[20:52] <Guest34964> then i could redirect it to my hifi amp
[20:52] <winr4r> so has anyone here got WPA authentication to work with ubuntu + ath5k
[20:52] <bitzy> and one more thing... where can I find desktop themes? I think this OS looks great... but I would like some preinstaled themes can you help me please?
[20:52] <jonaskoelker> sheepherd: ah ok :)  some people need the extra hand holding...
[20:52] <winr4r> because i can't :< works with WEP and open networks
[20:52] <Slart> bitzy: have a look at gnome-look.org
[20:53] <Guest34964> miranda_82: ok but what is it for? what do i have to change there?
[20:53] <miranda_82> Guest34964, then go to Hardware, and under profile
[20:53] <winr4r> i get "deauthenticated (reason 15)" in my dmesh
[20:53] <sheepherd> jonaskoelker: here you go: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/171195/
[20:53] <winr4r> dmesg*
[20:53] <miranda_82> Guest34964 and then choose something like Digital Strereo
[20:53] <miranda_82> Guest34964 if you dont have that option, you will possibly need to edit your alsa-base.conf file
[20:53] <ardchoille> !themes | bitzy
[20:54] <Guest34964> miranda_82: nice tip. i ll have a look then
[20:54] <Trek> winr4r, its possible that whatever system you're connecting to is automatically unauthorizing you
[20:54] <jonaskoelker> sheepherd: make a backup copy of /boot/grub/menu.lst, then go with the package maintainer's version
[20:54] <winr4r> trek, why would it do that?
[20:54] <bitzy> thank you verry much!
[20:54] <miranda_82> Guest34964 no problem! ITs quite confusing to find
[20:54] <Guest34964> but will it still sound through the PC speakers? (they re not as bad, and using the 4 of them could be sweet)
[20:54] <miranda_82> no
[20:54] <jonaskoelker> sheepherd: then reboot.  If linux comes up alright, you (probably) don't need the backup
[20:54] <miranda_82> you get both options under the profile settings
[20:54] <jonaskoelker> sheepherd: and if not, have fun with live CDs and such :)
[20:54] <winr4r> trek, i'm like 100% positive that i'm using the right WPA key
[20:55] <Trek> winr4r, could be anything from issues with the access points, to a config issue in ubuntu
[20:55] <Guest34964> oh ok so it is for GOOD file then :)
[20:55] <Ziber> I've run into this problem before, and dont remember how to fix it. Seems there's a bug in "command-not-found". http://zpaste.org/8414
[20:55] <Guest34964> i ll have a look
[20:55] <sheepherd> jonaskoelker: k thx... hope it works out flawlessly
[20:55] <winr4r> Trek: other laptops in the same building connect just fine
[20:55] <miranda_82> kan somebody kick me from this channel please?
[20:55] <winr4r> so i suspect a driver issue
[20:55] <jonaskoelker> sheepherd: it should
[20:55] <Trek> winr4r, are they running *nix as well?
[20:55] <winr4r> the problem is i have no idea what it could be
[20:55] <winr4r> Trek: no micros~1
[20:55] <miranda_82> !kick miranda_82
[20:55] <miranda_82> balls
[20:56] <Guest34964> miranda_82: why?
[20:56] <Trek> miranda_82, go to the ops and ask
[20:56] <e-DIO-t> or flood a bit!
[20:56] <e-DIO-t> ;)
[20:56] <guntbert> miranda_82: just /part #ubuntu
[20:56] <Trek> winr4r, its possible the accesspoint and your operating system are not compatible
[20:56] <Ziber> Why do I get a python error ("import site failed...") when I try a command that doesnt exist on ubuntu 9.04?
[20:56] <Trek> winr4r, thats an issue I deal with and I have an INtel card
[20:56] <miranda_82> or talk about something off topic, and they will flood you with stupid premade messages thinking they are the sheriff
[20:57] <winr4r> winr4r: oh :<
[20:57] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: my guess is the command that gets run when the command you typed wasn't found is written in python, and there's a config problem
[20:57] <winr4r> well if an AP doesn't work with an operating system, that still sounds like a driver bug
[20:57] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: try creating an empty ~/site.py
[20:57] <reisio> guys for the 9.10 install cd, is there a framebuffer installation option in the GRUB menu?
[20:57] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: if that works it's probably a _bad_ band-aid...
[20:58] <magnus> guys i did read about how to install libmimic. but it sed i neded to start it in terminal. how do i fo that?

[21:05] <datz> itamarjp: so "sudo apt-get install....
[21:05] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: i have site.py in /usr/lib/python/2.5/
[21:05] <Scunizi> itamarjp: why did you put the -y at the end of the install line?
[21:05] <itamarjp> I am running as root
[21:05] <datz> itamarjp: ok
[21:05] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: yeah, but your python version isn't 2.5, it's 2.6 (more specifically, 2.6.2)
[21:05] <stronze> i need help fixing my sound.i cant figure out whats wrong and cant locate anything via google/ubuntu forums
[21:05] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: is python2.6-minimal installed?  If not, try installing it
[21:05]  * Ziber blinks
[21:06] <noise_> Thanks for the help!
[21:06]  * Ziber tries
[21:06] <Scunizi> itamarjp: simply.. sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin  ... with no -y at the end
[21:06] <grubnoob> I just reinstalled Grub, so Ubuntu seems to boot properly, but the GUI (Alt+F7) can't seem to see the mouse or keyboard.  How do I fix this?
[21:06] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: yes, it is.
[21:06] <datz> Hi, in the conneciton manager I see an profile under the wired connections "ifupdown (eth0)" I can't edit or delete this connection, and it says it was never active. How can I delete it? I am using ubuntu server with gnome.
[21:06] <itamarjp> makes no difference for me with -y or without it
[21:06] <grubnoob> The keyboard still works in the other screens.
[21:07] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: /usr/lib/python2.6/site.py <-- its there too. python2.6/
[21:07] <pfifo> grubnoob, check to see if your input devices are listed in xorg.conf
[21:07] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: hmm...
[21:07] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: try python /usr/lib/command-not-found -- "foobar"
[21:07] <grubnoob> Where is xorg.conf?
[21:07] <Scunizi> pfifo: that doesn't work.. have you looked at a xorg.conf in 9.10 ??  it's basically empty
[21:07] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
[21:07] <sena--> itamarjp: you can try to purge phpmyadmin with dpkg first then install it with apt-get
[21:07] <grubnoob> I'm using 8.10
[21:08] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: try python -v /usr/lib/command-not-found -- "foobar"
[21:08] <stronze> anyone good on solving sound issues?
[21:08] <itamarjp> sena: how to do this ?
[21:08] <itamarjp> sena: rm -rf  /var/lib/dpkg/info/phpmyadmin.*
[21:08] <isolat3dsh33p> grubnoob, /etc/X11/xconf.org

[21:08] <itamarjp> sena-- how to purge phpmyadmin with dpkg ?
[21:09] <isolat3dsh33p> grubnoob, */xorg.conf ^.^;
[21:09] <krlrthr> hi guys
[21:09] <sena--> itamarjp: there may be some other libraries (not only in this dir)
[21:09] <sena--> itamarjp: first see your package name dpkg -l | grep phpmy
[21:09] <krlrthr> I have a problem with desktop icons running dual monitors in 9.10
[21:09] <grubnoob> Found it!
[21:10] <itamarjp> sena--: yes it in the list
[21:10] <krlrthr> basically they don't show up, or disappear again
[21:10] <sena--> itamarjp: then see the man page of dpkg i think it was just dpkg purge (or --purge) thepackagename
[21:10] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: http://zpaste.org/8415
[21:10] <grubnoob> What do I look for?
[21:10] <sena--> itamarjp: i have no baterry i am out
[21:10] <sena--> itamarjp: good luck
[21:11] <itamarjp> sena--: thanks alot
[21:11] <stronze> btw has 9.10 become laptops table or is there still issues? i tried to upgrade before i deployed to iraq and it went to hell in a hand basket with the graphics or not loading the desk top side
[21:11] <pfifo> grubnoob, a section called inputdevice
[21:11] <Odanas> Hey everybody, I've been trying all day to make a rootfs.image bootable on ubuntu 9.10 but I can't seem to do it.
[21:11] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: pastebin your sitecustomize.py
[21:12] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: k
[21:12] <Scunizi> pfifo: did you install the binary driver for your nvidia?  there is a "write to xorg" option at the end of the install... when that happens xorg overrides xrandr and "other" stuff.
[21:12] <darkmaster977> kut eniłan ken bann mi
[21:12] <grubnoob> This is the Xorg.conf file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/364794/http://paste.ubuntu.com/364794/
[21:13] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: http://zpaste.org/8416
[21:13] <pfifo> Scunizi, yes Im using the latest binary. I used nvidia-settings to make my xorg.conf, and had to go in and edit a few things by hand to get dual head working.
[21:14] <Odanas> I tried making an entry in grub but I don't think I did it right. Has anyone ever tried booting an image. I found how it's done in windows so it's only logical that one should be able to do it in linux as well.
[21:14] <guntbert> darkmaster977: wrong window? :)
[21:14] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: as root, on the last line of sitecustomize.py, remove all of the leading spaces, except four
[21:14] <pfifo> grubnoob, yeah there is your problem, no input devices listed
[21:14] <trism> if you're going to remove spaces, you need to remove them all
[21:15] <grubnoob> pfifo: How do I fix that?
[21:15] <saraqual> Ola again
[21:15] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: uh, okay
[21:15] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: done
[21:15] <stronze> ima  deployed soldier in iraq need help with sound isses cuz im trying to use skype

[21:15] <sheepherd> which one of the 3 flash players i can choose from through firefox is the right one? (Adobe Flash Player, Swfdec SWF player, Gnash SWF Player)
[21:15] <niko-mojo> Hi all, Anyone know how to get the right mouse button to paste text in a gnome terminal ? Its functionality that exists in putty ? I know you can use the centre roller ball but don't like that :-)
[21:16] <Carlis> Hi
[21:16] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: I tried a command I know doesnt exist: "'import site' failed; use -v for traceback"
[21:16] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: what the f
[21:16] <pfifo> grubnoob, http://paste.ubuntu.com/364797/ lines 4, 5 and 8-24
[21:16] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: paste a new traceback
[21:16] <trism> jonaskoelker: import sys is not the start of a new block, you would need to remove all the spaces on the last line to remove the indentation error
[21:16] <treble54> question: when my screen is locked, and I input the wrong password on the first attempt, and the correct password on the second attempt, the screen goes blank and the only way to recover is to either put my computer to sleep then wake it back up, or just hit Ctrl + Alt + Backspace
[21:16] <jonaskoelker> trism: duh, thanks
[21:16] <treble54> anyone know a solution?
[21:16] <Carlis> Who can explain me the installation of system32 in Ubuntu ?
[21:17] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: did you read trism's point?  Remove the last four spaces too
[21:17] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: and skip the new traceback
[21:17] <Python> Good evening
[21:17] <resno> Carlis: system32? thats widnows.
[21:17]  * jonaskoelker ar dum
[21:17] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: http://zpaste.org/8417
[21:17] <Carlis> yes, It´s windows
[21:17] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: at the end of the line?
[21:17] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: no, beginning of line
[21:17] <resno> Carlis: install wine?
[21:17] <stronze> anyone?
[21:18] <Carlis> yes
[21:18] <jonaskoelker> stronze: you might have better luck if you describe your problem
[21:18] <resno> !wine | Carlis
[21:18] <grubnoob> pfifo: Does it matter where I paste them within the file?
[21:18] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: uh, okay. and there are a lot of copies of sitecustomize.py. how do i know if im editing the right one? http://zpaste.org/8418
[21:19] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: see http://zpaste.org/8417 line 40
[21:19] <pfifo> the inputdevice sections can be put at the end of the file, but liens 4 and 5 need to be in the serverlayout section
[21:19] <stronze> jonaskoelke - sound plays static.only good sound is move player if i try youtube type videos, sound crashes and reboot is required.after reboot skye just playys static.
[21:19] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: okay
[21:19] <Zeek_> I know in 9.10 there is a way to set up remote access to the desktop...is there an easy way to set up access to a second desktop instead of the default?  I wanted to have a second persistent workspace  accessible remotely (guessing VNC)
[21:19] <pfifo> grubnoob, you may need to modify some of the options to suit your setup
[21:20] <treble54> question: anyone know why (or the solution) for my screen locking up after using the wrong password on the first attempt of unlocking my computer, and the correct password on the second or later attempts?
[21:20] <resno> Zeek_: vnc is a good solution
[21:20] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: removing all the leading spaces fixed it. thanks :)
[21:20] <jonaskoelker> stronze: address the whole channel, not just me; I'm a bit busy.  Also, I'd love to help, but I'm no sound expert nor a skype expert.
[21:20] <treble54> my only solutions so far are Ctrl + Alt + Backspace, or sleep/wake
[21:20] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: yw :)
[21:20] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: now, your sitecustomize.py was different from mine.  Which ubuntu are you running?  Karmic?
[21:20] <Zeek_> resno: like vncserver?  I was not sure if it would get mad with whatever Remote Desktop uses...
[21:20] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: I'm thinking it might be a bug
[21:20] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: 9.04
[21:20] <stronze> jonaskolke roger
[21:21] <resno> Zeek_: i use tightvnc. but i dont think it would have any issues.
[21:21] <Ziber> ubuntu 9.04 server, at that
[21:21] <stronze> jonaskoelke - sorry tired and grumpy.gotta stay up to get good connection
[21:21] <Zeek_> resno: cool, I will give that a shot.
[21:21] <jolaren> Is there anyway to see if I have functional drivers on a hardware that is listed in "sudo lshw"?
[21:21] <grubnoob> pfifo: There is no ServerLayout section in my xorg.conf file.  Should I paste the whole section?
[21:21] <brontosaurusrex> what is remote desktop client built into ubuntu? is that sort of a vnc-compatible server or?
[21:21] <grubnoob> pfifo: Which options do I need to modify?
[21:22] <andy> ssh
[21:22] <phong_> is ubuntu a good system to use?
[21:22] <stronze> sound plays static.only good sound is move player if i try youtube type videos, sound crashes and reboot is required.after reboot skpye just playys static. since im deployed to ira i need ths problem solver to call home
[21:22] <resno> phong_: why would you ask that here?
[21:22] <jonaskoelker> stronze: no harm no foul :)
[21:22] <wash> phong_: depends on your intended use
[21:22] <pfifo> grubnoob, try running xorg-config that may be easier for you
[21:22] <trippss> why does jaunty now do the windows thing and popup an update manager dialog box everytime I'm logged in? That's irritating as hell! Can we go back to the notification bar method and not the intrusive method please?
[21:22] <grubnoob> phong_: Highly recommended if you are new to Linux.
[21:22] <guntbert> brontosaurusrex: no, its for rdp (like windows terminal server)
[21:22] <Guest10038> can anyone give me some help with ssh?
[21:22] <phong_> okay
[21:23] <resno> Guest10038: whats the issue?
[21:23] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: consider extracting the sitecustomize.py from the package.  If it looks like the one you had before editing, file a bug
[21:23] <Ose> alright, so what do I use to run install.sh?
[21:23] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: alright
[21:23] <grubnoob> pfifo: I'm currently running from Live CD.  Do I need to do anything differently?
[21:23] <stronze> jonaskoelker - thanks for reminding me of the etiquite tho
[21:23] <brontosaurusrex> guntbert: ok, so if my remote box is ubuntu and my client would be osx, how to ?
[21:24] <wash> If you're going to be doing any type of application development/web development, or if you're on a small budget, or if you need reliable and specific free applications, yah go ubuntu
[21:24] <jonaskoelker> stronze: you're welcome :)
[21:24] <pfifo> grubnoob, im not sure about that. LiveCD didnt detect your keyboard and mouse?
[21:24] <stronze> sound plays static.only good sound is move player if i try youtube type videos, sound crashes and reboot is required.after reboot skpye just playys static. since im deployed to ira i need ths problem solver to call home
[21:24] <grubnoob> pfifo: Yes it did.
[21:24] <guntbert> brontosaurusrex: how about ssh (with X forwarding)?
[21:24] <grubnoob> pfifo: I'm using Live CD because it didn't work from my hard drive.
[21:25] <Guest10038> where should i go if i need help with ssh?
[21:25] <wash> @ phong_ Ubuntu's probably the best method of accessing free software on the internetz
[21:25] <pfifo> grubnoob, live cd's keyboard and mouse work, but hard disk install's keyboard and mouse do not?
[21:25] <jolaren> So there's no way to see if the driver is in use? Or if there's a driver IN USE? terminal
[21:25] <jonaskoelker> Guest10038: #ssh ?
[21:25] <grubnoob> pfifo: My question had more to do with the need to specify the path of a filename so that it would edit the file on my hard drive.
[21:25] <Guest10038> yea no one is in there
[21:25] <Guest10038> is there another channel maybe?
[21:26] <resno> Guest10038: whats your question?
[21:26] <Guest10038> so im trying to set up a vnc right now
[21:26] <pfifo> grubnoob,  it will ask you where to save it, save it somewhere and then copy it over
[21:26] <Guest10038> and i installed ssh
[21:26] <brontosaurusrex> guntbert: ok, any how-tos?
[21:26] <resno> Guest10038: can you speak on one line? that would be nice
[21:26] <Guest10038> and followed the steps and im running into this problem
[21:26] <grubnoob> pfifo: That's correct.  Everything seems to work EXCEPT for input.  However, I can still press Alt+F6 and get a terminal screen and type in that.
[21:27] <Guest10038> oh sorry bad habbit
[21:27] <Guest10038> let me get the message i get when i try to connect to my desktop

[21:29] <niko-mojo> Any idea on my question  ?
[21:29] <SpaceGhostC2C> sabgenton: I mean, what issue do you have that you need help with?
[21:29] <pfifo> grubnoob, try copying the livecd's xorg.conf to your harddrive install
[21:29] <resno> Guest10038: is ssh installed? on the server machine?
[21:29] <Guest10038> its is on both machines
[21:30] <sabgenton> sorry buddy, /etc/init.d/scriptabc  start gives me a fail where can I find the error report
[21:30] <SpaceGhostC2C> Guest10038: openssh-server? Ports are forwarded and everything?
[21:30] <Guest10038> how do i forwarded them?
[21:30] <SpaceGhostC2C> sabgenton: does the script generate a report?
[21:30] <Guest10038> im really new to this sorry
[21:30] <resno> Guest10038: is this internal network?
[21:30] <sabgenton> no
[21:30] <Guest10038> yea
[21:30] <sabgenton> (other than fail)
[21:31] <SpaceGhostC2C> sabgenton: a good chance is that you won't get one then :)
[21:31] <resno> Guest10038: are you tpying ssh ipaddress?
[21:31]  * stronze pounds head into computer
[21:31] <sabgenton> oh yay
[21:31] <grubnoob> pfifo: Apparently, that's where it got the bad xorg.conf file!
[21:31] <piero> Which property I must change in glade-3 to: a) align the caption in a GtkEntry at center b) hide data in a GtkEntry used in a password question ? Thanks!
[21:31] <grubnoob> It's identical!
[21:31] <Guest10038> let me try that
[21:32] <pfifo> grubnoob, ok then reboot to your hard drive and run xorg-config
[21:32] <stronze> sound plays static.only good sound is move player if i try youtube type videos, sound crashes and reboot is required.after reboot skype just plays static. since im deployed to iraq i need ths problem solved to call home
[21:32] <resno> Guest10038: ip address is the ipaddress of the machine you are connecting to
[21:32] <SpaceGhostC2C> piero: this might not be the best place to ask. Maybe ask in a channel dedicated to glade?
[21:32] <_atomic> Hi
[21:32] <piero> SpaceGhostC2C, I can't find one.. Can you tell me?
[21:32] <grubnoob> pfifo: How do I do that?
[21:32] <SpaceGhostC2C> !hi | _atomic
[21:32] <Guest10038> do i type ifconfig for that?
[21:32] <SpaceGhostC2C> piero: I don't know of one either.
[21:32] <grubnoob> pfifo: I mean the xorg part.
[21:32] <Guest10038> im a former windows user

[21:32] <resno> Guest10038: for ip address its ifconfig
[21:32] <pfifo> its a command, you type it in on the shell
[21:33] <piero> thanks Slart

[21:33] <fruitty> khoubi pershian007
[21:33] <sabgenton> :)
[21:33] <grubnoob> pfifo: What is the command that gets typed?
[21:33] <Slart> piero: not sure how to do it in glade though.. but it might be easier to find if you know what you're looking for
[21:33] <pfifo> 'xorg-config'
[21:34] <grubnoob> command not found
[21:34] <stronze> hey fruitty - does yours plays static by any chance?
[21:34] <fruitty> um sorry i don't know what static means?
[21:34] <pfifo> maybe its 'xorg-configure'
[21:34] <SpaceGhostC2C> fruitty: the sound of static. like a radio.
[21:34] <grubnoob> man Xorg
