[15:07] <StrangeCharm> th0r: indeed, i have managed to get it installed on the livecd with which i am performing the recovery. however, it doesn't look like there was a passphrase at all
[15:07] <wessel> @Seveas: bl
[15:07] <wessel> Seveas: al
[15:07] <l3ttuc3> i get loads, and loads of them, and every now and then, usually, when im not at my pc, it will lock up, and last time it remounted its root filesystem as readonly.
[15:07] <Gpalco> ompaul, what wouild you do if "gnome-session" wasn't starting automatically?? Where automatically started progs are listed ??? It should be simmilar in Xfce
[15:07] <fragged> Where are ubuntu binaries kept on the local system after install etc?
[15:07] <StrangeCharm> th0r: according to this, there were just a bunch of keys for the various disks
[15:07] <l3ttuc3> Seveas i know, but why is is logging those?
[15:08] <Seveas> l3ttuc3, because you told it to :)
[15:08] <Seveas> l3ttuc3, iptables -L -n
[15:08] <erUSUL> l3ttuc3: some firewall script/program has enabled it
[15:08] <phenom> ompaul,  Out of curiosity, you really felt Metal-Maniac-Mat's concerns warranted a ban?
[15:08] <ompaul> Gpalco, sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm or (and I think xubuntu uses that also)
[15:08] <phenom> ompaul, I think you jumped the gun.
[15:08] <th0r> StrangeCharm right...forgot about that. You can create a keyfile for a volume instead of usng a passphrase...then you have to have that key to get in again.
[15:08] <l3ttuc3> Seveas i haven't messed with that. erUSUL i am using firestarter. hmm.
[15:08] <bazhang> offtopic phenom
[15:08] <unop> Seveas, bentob0x, erUSUL  -  DISPLAY=:0.0 zenity --info --text="Computer will shutdown in 5 minutes" && sudo shutdown -r +5m
[15:09] <erUSUL> l3ttuc3: maybe you can disable packet login in firestarter
[15:09] <phenom> I'll be sure to go right to #defocus
[15:09] <Seveas> phenom, please let the ops run this channel. We've done this rather succesful for several years
[15:09] <Gpalco> ompaul, thank you. that's a great idea. thank you
[15:09] <l3ttuc3> Seveas, erUSUL would that have anything to do with the lock-ups?
[15:09] <StrangeCharm> th0r: and it seems that the keys for the volumes were on this disk, but that this disk *itself* was encrypted with another key
[15:09] <Seveas> unop, won't work -- mismatching X cookies :)
[15:09] <l3ttuc3> i doubt it, but i cant see anything else out of place in the logs.
[15:09] <Seveas> l3ttuc3, neh, that shouldn't cause lockups
[15:09] <vkong> could  someone tell me how to copy and paste in the terminal as Ctrl+c & Ctrl +v
[15:10] <Seveas> vkong, <ctrl><shift>c and <ctrl><shift>v
[15:10] <bentob0x> it's shift + insert vkong
[15:10] <th0r> StrangeCharm gotcha...seems the only way is going to be to mount that card in the old way and copy the keyfiles off onto something not encrypted. Sometimes one can be too secure <smiel>
[15:10] <bentob0x> for pasting anyway
[15:10] <alsadk> where firefox put the files that has been downloded?
[15:10] <jetscreamer> there are multiple clipboards
[15:10] <fragged> Where are ubuntu binaries kept on the local system after install etc?
[15:10] <unop> Seveas, seems to work from a root shell
[15:10] <jetscreamer> where you told it to
 how long can ubuntu ru without the live cd??
[15:10] <erUSUL> alsadk: look into Preferences
[15:10] <phenom> Should we help him in #win?
[15:11] <patogen> Are there more cpu optimized like swiftweasel available?
[15:11] <StrangeCharm> th0r: but first i need to find the key that was used to ecrypt *it*
[15:11] <l3ttuc3> Seveas there does not appear to be any option inside firestarter's gui to disable logging.
[15:11] <Seveas> fragged, /usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/games
[15:11] <fragged> Seveas, I mean the .deb binaries, coming from a gentoo background ;)
[15:11] <th0r> StrangeCharm ouch
[15:11] <Seveas> l3ttuc3, I don't know how firestarter works, I always cook my own rules
[15:11] <alsadk> where firefox put the temp files?
[15:11] <Seveas> fragged, /var/cache/apt/archives
[15:11] <Seveas> alsadk, /tmp
[15:11] <fragged> cheers
[15:12] <StrangeCharm> th0r: more annoyingly, it seems to be referenced somewhere on the system disk where there *aren't* any directories
[15:12] <StrangeCharm> th0r: fail :(
[15:12] <vboxer> hi, anyone know why I get 2 mouse pointers when connecting to VirtualBox via VRDP with rdesktop? It shows both the host-OS pointer and the guest-OS
[15:12] <alsadk> but i can't find them there after download a file
[15:12] <alsadk> ?
[15:12] <Metal-Maniac-Mat> err i had problems with irtualbox
[15:12] <l3ttuc3> Seveas ok, im assuming if i purge 'firestarter' the rules will still be in place, and this behaviour will still go on, im thinking it's just a frontend for iptables? i also have two interfaces, ath0 and wifi0, both seem to receive and send packets, what's up with that?
[15:13] <Seveas> alsadk, it deletes them when you close firefox :)
[15:13] <Stephen-Mason> ive forwarded my ports but its still messed up, :@
[15:13] <Seveas> l3ttuc3, after a reboot (or iptables -F) the rules should be gone
[15:13] <th0r> StrangeCharm sounds like you are running out of options....sorry
[15:13] <Seveas> ath0/wifi0 is atheros' twisted way of doing advanced wifi tricks
[15:13] <gurpreet> synaptic is telling me that some packages are not authenticated. how can i fix this?
[15:13] <snikker> i've got some trouble to run vmware (libpng12 error) after the update of some packages, i'm under gutsy on amd64
[15:13] <StrangeCharm> th0r: no, i think i may just have missed another system disk in this pile
[15:13] <bazhang> Stephen-Mason: not really an ubuntu question; you may want to try transmission which obviates the need for port forwarding
[15:14] <Seveas> gurpreet, don't use 3rd party repos :)
[15:14] <Stephen-Mason> cool, no problem i think ive sorted it
[15:14] <Stephen-Mason> ma isp are bastards tho
[15:14] <Stephen-Mason> lol
[15:14] <bazhang> okay good
[15:14] <th0r> StrangeCharm sort of like a hunt for buried treasure...with the X
[15:14] <gurpreet> Seveas: i am not using any third party repos
[15:14] <th0r> StrangeCharm (withOUT the X)
[15:14] <Seveas> gurpreet, pastebin your complete sources.list
[15:14] <ompaul> Stephen-Mason, please check the messages from ubotu
[15:15] <StrangeCharm> th0r: well, that is why i play this game
[15:15] <l3ttuc3> Seveas ok, i'll purge and get rid of the rules. i dunno about twisted tricks, but i keep having a trickle in of packets about 800bytes/sec (gnome system monitor) that i cannot capture with iptraf. and wifi0 does not even come up in iptraf. is that normal behaviour?
[15:15] <Seveas> l3ttuc3, yes it is
[15:15] <th0r> StrangeCharm try 'give the parrot to the pirate'....can't hurt <smile>
[15:15] <piercle1> anyone succeeded in installing Barry (to sync Blackberry with evolution) on Ubuntu gutsy AMD 64 ?
[15:15] <l3ttuc3> Seveas ok thanks for your help.
[15:15] <IamReck> Hey All, the default network application that usually goes on the top panel... and handles wireless and wired network connection, how Do I get that back?
[15:16] <Seveas> l3ttuc3, iirc iptables -F isn't enough, You'll need to reset policies and delete chains
[15:16] <StrangeCharm> th0r: unlikely. it seems that there's another disk on here that isn't being mounted, but also isn't part of the array. i may cry
[15:16] <l3ttuc3> Seveas how do i do that?
[15:16] <Seveas> l3ttuc3, easiest solution is a reboot :)
[15:16] <baadnewz> i have a jmircon raid matrice already build on lspci i see the hdds on dmraid -r i get dev/sdb: nvidia, "nvidia_bbghcaca", stripe, ok, 312581806 sectors, data@ 0 now the problem is how can i use it

[15:18] <nerous> need some help with installing flash player in Firefox
[15:18] <alsadk> any one have a website address for a free ubuntu mag ?
[15:18] <IndyGunFreak> !flashissue | nerous
[15:18] <ubotu> nerous: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[15:18] <nerous> ok thanks
[15:18] <Seveas> alsadk, fridge.ubuntu.com
[15:18] <IndyGunFreak> nerous: but its a lot easier to just download the source from adobe.com
[15:18] <nerous> Oh yeah?
[15:19] <erUSUL> baadnewz: you can use it as a "disk" refering it as  /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca    ??
[15:19] <alsadk> thank u
[15:19] <chazco> hmm... they've still not fixed flash?
[15:19] <IndyGunFreak> nerous: i think so..
[15:19] <nerous> i have downloaded it, i tried to install it and i couldnt
[15:19] <Stephen-Mason> difference between rtm and tar?
[15:19] <MasterAslan> hello everyone,  question:  I can boot fine and my wireless works fine when I run in roaming mode with ndiswrapper (using gutsy).  However if I turn off roaming mode and set up a static IP I can still use the net until I reboot and then boot hangs on 'configuring network devices'  I want to use a static IP automatically on start.  Any ideas?
[15:19] <chazco> Pity, will need to manually install that then... thought it had worked
[15:19] <nerous> every time i install it thru firefox it tells me its installed, but it doesnt work
[15:19] <IndyGunFreak> nerous: ok, did you extract the tar file, so the linux_flash_player folder is on your desktop?
[15:19] <RantingHuman> Hmmm. I have an NTFS partition mounted in Ubuntu, and I want to change its permissions (allow read-only for "Others")... chmod and chown don't seem to work. Any ideas?
[15:19] <IndyGunFreak> nerous: yes, thats because the plugin installer is broken
[15:20] <piercle1> nerous: i did this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 and it worked perfectly
[15:20] <alsadk> any one have a website address for a free ubuntu wallpapers with  cc license ?
[15:20] <broken> omfg
[15:20] <broken> im changing my nick
[15:20] <th0r> RantingHuman I think you have to do that when you mount it...in the fstab options

[15:21] <baadnewz> erUSUL im a lillte noob how can i find that out
[15:21] <StrangeCharm> how do i search a directory including subdirectories?
[15:21] <Dante123> Hi all.  How do I create a launcher that switches to a directory and then runs a command?  Sorry to be such a noob on this...but I just cant seem to get the syntax right. Here is what I want to do...change to directory "cod" then run "wine cod"
[15:21] <piercle1> IndyGunFreak: good thing to know for next time i have a similar problem
[15:21] <chazco> I tried to explain that you can install from Adobe, but was told not to tell people to do it that way... there may be a reason, no idea
[15:21] <erUSUL> baadnewz: is the raid array partitioned or used in any way?
[15:21] <IndyGunFreak> piercle1: i never got the nba videos to work, strange, the advertisements played perfectly, just not the actual videos.
[15:21] <Dante123>  Here is what I want to do...change to directory "cod" then run "wine cod"
[15:21] <baadnewz> erUSUL,  yes the raid is used on windows]
[15:21] <kmg> why are all my sources timing out when i do apt-get update ?
[15:21] <baadnewz> has information already on it
[15:21] <RantingHuman> th0r, alright, could you tell me the exact umask for allowing "Others" access it while allowing rwx for User and Group?
[15:21] <baadnewz> root@b0x:/dev/mapper# ls
[15:21] <baadnewz> control  nvidia_bbghcaca
[15:21] <DuClare> Dante123, cd cod; wine cod
[15:21] <IndyGunFreak> piercle1: videos on MLB, espn, NFL.com, NHL, etc, all work fine, good thing i don't like the NBA>..lol
[15:22] <Seveas> Dante123, make it run this: sh -c "cd cod ; wine cod"
[15:22] <ompaul> Dante123, please don't repeat; and as DuClare said ;-)
[15:22] <piercle1> IndyGunFreak: it's really anoying, it used to work, do you recommend going back to 32bit?
[15:22] <gurpreet> Seveas, sorry, i am not using any 3rd party repos
[15:22] <Seveas> IndyGunFreak, :P
[15:22] <Dante123> DuClare do I simply put that command in the area under properties for the launcher to do that?
[15:22] <baadnewz> erUSUL, and yes is partition 1 partion ntfs
[15:22] <IndyGunFreak> Seveas: :)
[15:22] <erUSUL> baadnewz: in linux disks are accessed thrugh a special file under dev in your case the array should be accessibel throug "/dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca"
[15:22] <th0r> RantingHuman the mask (assuming e'x'exute as well...would be 774
[15:22] <Seveas> gurpreet, pastebin your complete sources.list
[15:22] <gurpreet> Seveas, roger that
[15:22] <th0r> RantingHuman would give read only to the world...but rwx to user and group
[15:23] <ompaul> gurpreet, post your /etc/sources.list in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[15:23] <DuClare> Dante123, Don't know your launhcer, try sh as Seveas said.  Do you have to cd?  I mean, couldn't you just wine cod/cod.exe?
[15:23] <erUSUL> baadnewz: check if the file exists... "ls -al /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca*" on a terminal
[15:23] <IndyGunFreak> piercle1: only you can decide that..., i didnt like jumping through the multimedia hoops of 64bit, so i went back to 32bit.
[15:23] <piercle1> IndyGunFreak: Seveas why am i not laughing ? :-D
[15:23] <ompaul> gurpreet, woops post your /etc/apt/sources.list in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[15:23] <Dante123> Seveas: what if the program is on a different drive sda2?
[15:23] <un0p> RantingHuman, ntfs (atleast via ntfs-3g) doesnt understand posix ownership and permissions
[15:23] <erUSUL> baadnewz: without the quotes
[15:23] <RantingHuman> th0r, thanks :) but, isn't umask usually a bit weird, for eg, 777 in umask is 000?
[15:23] <piercle1> IndyGunFreak: ok, sounds like the best sollution for me too
[15:23] <piercle1> IndyGunFreak: thanks a lot anyway
[15:23] <baadnewz> erUSUL,  root@b0x:/dev/mapper# ls -al /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca*
[15:23] <baadnewz> brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 0 2008-01-27 17:02 /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca
[15:23] <IndyGunFreak> np
[15:23] <DuClare> Dante123, Doesn't matter whereever the program is as long as you know where it is.  Just give the full path.
[15:23] <Seveas> Dante123, sh -c "cd /where/its/mounted/cod ; wine cod"
[15:24] <th0r> RantingHuman right...so 774 would be 003...but un0p says ntfs doesn't support permissions
[15:24] <wadafak> hi all, my gnome terminal is freezing
[15:24] <Seveas> wadafak, apt-get install antifreeze
[15:24] <wadafak> whenever I type anything, it doesn't respond to it..
[15:25] <un0p> th0r, setting mask options to mount is not the same as supporting permissions -- big difference
[15:25] <WorkingOnWise> I have an OS crisis. I need a decent 3d modeling app that is stable in linux. Something not too advanced. I have been using Google SketchUp, but in Linux it is just way to unstable. I could install WinXP and run it native, but I left MS totally 2 months ago now and soooo do not want to go back, for any reason. Any suggestions for a 3d modeling app, commercial or not?
[15:25] <baadnewz> erUSUL,  now i should mount it ?
[15:25] <Seveas> wadafak, did you by any chance hit <ctrl>+S ?
[15:25] <RantingHuman> th0r, un0p, but doesn't ntfs-3g accept permissions if you mount it with umask in fstab?
[15:25] <erUSUL> baadnewz: there you go the dev file is there... you want to mount it?
[15:25] <Seveas> if so, it'll freeze until you hit <ctrl>+Q
[15:25] <slain> hi all
[15:25] <wadafak> Seveas: ctrl + S means??
[15:25] <th0r> un0p ok....that's how I got intot his...said he needed to set them in fstab instead of chmod
[15:25] <baadnewz> erUSUL,  yes i want to mount it .. with ntfs-3g
[15:25] <DuClare> WorkingOnWise, blender is a great one, although I don't get your "not too advanced" point..
[15:25] <baadnewz> so i can write files on it
[15:25] <IndyGunFreak> wadafak: easiest thing to try, would be to try installing another terminal emulator, or reinstalling the one you have.
[15:25] <wadafak> Seveas: I am in console now
[15:26] <Dante123> Seveas so does this look right:  sh -c /media/sda1/cod ; wine cod.exe
[15:26] <erUSUL> baadnewz: «sudo fdisk -l /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca» and paste the output to paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[15:26] <DuClare> WorkingOnWise, If you're serious about modelling, you're better off learning to use a good application properly.
[15:26] <un0p> RantingHuman, yes, but they are only valid for the period of the mount (or as long as the same umask is withstanding) .. the minute that changes, your permissions are lost
[15:26] <wadafak> btw, what is causing the "freeze"??
[15:26] <DuClare> Dante123, quotes
[15:26] <th0r> RantingHuman that's what I thought...but i am always willing to entertain the idea I am mistaken. thought I was once...but I was wrong\
[15:26] <Seveas> Dante123, sh -c "/media/sda1/cod ; wine cod.exe" -- or probably even better: wine /media/sda1/cod/cod.exe
[15:26] <un0p> th0r, he does want mount options (via fstab) .. he cant do a chmod anyway
[15:26] <IndyGunFreak> wadafak: so can you not get to a GUI?
[15:26] <slain> I am creating a custom ubuntu alternate cd, how do I update the deb files of the custom alternate cd
[15:26] <slain> ?
[15:26] <DuClare> wadafak, xoff
[15:26] <th0r> un0p yup...that's what I thought <smile>
[15:27] <baadnewz> erUSUL,  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53694/
[15:27] <wadafak> did I missIndyGunFreak: I can, but it's just that gnome terminal doesn't work and I dont want to reboot my computer
[15:27] <baadnewz> erUSUL,  and if possible to add it in fstab
[15:27] <RantingHuman> th0r, un0p, that's fine, if it is valid as long as it's mounted..
[15:28] <MasterAslan>  I can boot fine and my wireless works fine when I run in roaming mode with ndiswrapper (using gutsy).  However if I turn off roaming mode and set up a static IP I can still use the net until I reboot and then boot hangs on 'configuring network devices'  I want to use a static IP automatically on start.  Any ideas?
[15:28] <wadafak> it's something that never happened before
[15:28] <un0p> RantingHuman, umask=774 should suffice
[15:28] <th0r> RantingHuman far as I know it will be
[15:28] <RantingHuman> un0p, not 003?
[15:28] <wadafak> btw, what is CTRL + S doing? To unfreeze the virtual terminal?
[15:29] <DuClare> wadafak, xon
[15:29] <un0p> errm, wait, i could have mask confused with umask -- let me verify RantingHuman
[15:29] <DuClare> wadafak, erm, xoff
[15:29] <DuClare> wadafak, ^q does xon
[15:29] <erUSUL> baadnewz: install ntfs-config and run it as «gksudo ntfs-config»
[15:29] <Seveas> wadafak, ctrl+s freezes it, ctrl+q thaws it
[15:29] <RantingHuman> un0p, ok, thanks :)
[15:29] <wadafak> Oh I see
[15:29] <IamReck> The default network application that appears when you first install ubuntu... how do I get that back?
[15:29] <Dante123> Seveas I went with your better version....works.  Thanks a million virtual dollars!:-*

[15:30] <slain> can any one help me
[15:30] <slain> ?
[15:30] <swiftman> could you please give me french chat
[15:30] <vkong> could some guy tell me how to install oracle 9i in the ubuntu 7.10
[15:30] <un0p> RantingHuman, umask=003 it is
[15:30] <th0r> RantingHuman umask=003 according to google <smile>
[15:30] <DuClare> swiftman, about ubuntu?  #ubuntu-fr

[15:30] <ubotu> swiftman: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[15:30] <RantingHuman> un0p, th0r :D Thanks a lot! Will try it out now
[15:31] <th0r> RantingHuman might want to set dmaks to 002 so the world can change directories
[15:31] <th0r> RantingHuman if you want to give them read permission to all of it that is
[15:31] <vkong> how to install oracle in the ubuntu???hey,pretty boys??
[15:31] <toxrn> one thing i hate from debian users is their arrogance
[15:31] <DuClare> vkong, Doesn't it have an installer?
[15:31] <RantingHuman> th0r, ok
[15:32] <Switch^> how do I mount my partition to /windows ? It won't mount
[15:32] <Seveas> vkong, ask in oracle support forums -- it's not included with ubuntu since it's non-free
[15:32] <DuClare> vkong, Use the installer if you can't find oracle in the repos.
[15:32] <kmg> can somebody pastebin their sources.list for me?? all my sources are timing out.  I have the most recent version of ubuntu.
[15:32] <wadafak> is there a "screensaver" for console??
[15:32] <nerous> Hey
[15:32] <th0r> Switch^ first check the 'mount' command to see if it is already mounted somewhere else
[15:32] <gurpreet> Seveas, http://rafb.net/p/hKM2mo81.html
[15:33] <nerous> flash plugin still not working
[15:33] <nerous> game me a few errors
[15:33] <erUSUL> baadnewz: maybe fdisk is confused becouse is a raid array. have you mounted it? what «df -hs» shows
[15:33] <toxrn> i asked for a problem i have whit nvidia drivers and they said like "go to ubuntu, this is to easy for us"
[15:33] <RantingHuman> th0r, what about gid? Does that require to be changed?
[15:33] <gurpreet> Seveas, http://rafb.net/p/hKM2mo81.html
[15:33] <bazhang> nerous: yes the topic tells us so as well
[15:33] <Switch^> th0r: it's not mounted; but it can only mount to /media/windows
[15:33] <Switch^> well actually, that's not bad
[15:33] <nerous> the topic
[15:33] <th0r> RantingHuman don't think so....you just want to deny write permission, right?
[15:33] <Switch^> so nevermind, th0
[15:33] <baadnewz> erUSUL,  root@b0x:/dev/mapper# df -hs
[15:33] <baadnewz> df: invalid option -- s
[15:33] <wadafak> nerous: flash plugin?
[15:34] <RantingHuman> th0r, right now, Others have no permissions at all, want to allow read-only
[15:34] <Seveas> gurpreet, that sources.list is rather broken...
[15:34] <toxrn> so, here i am, i ubuntu and hope anybody can helpme whith my problem
[15:34] <toxrn> please!
[15:34] <th0r> Switch^ check fstab and see if there is a line in that file for the windows parition. If so, it will force windows to mount to that
[15:34] <erUSUL> baadnewz: is "df -h" sorry
[15:34] <nerous> oh sorry, i am trying to install the flash player and i was following this troubleshooting page someone gave me
[15:34] <nerous> but it didnt work
[15:34] <gurpreet> Seveas, why?
[15:34] <Seveas> !nvidia | toxrn
[15:34] <ubotu> toxrn: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[15:34] <Seveas> gurpreet, you're missing essential things
[15:34] <wadafak> nerous: ubuntu 7.10?
[15:35] <gurpreet> Seveas, like?
[15:35] <toxrn> yeah
[15:35] <Seveas> gurpreet, and you're using gutsy-proposed, no cookie
[15:35] <toxrn> i know
[15:35] <baadnewz> erUSUL,  is not there the raid array .. only the hdd on which i have install windows and ubuntu
[15:35] <toxrn> but
[15:35] <th0r> RantingHuman right...then change dmask to 002 and umask to 003...should give read and 'cd' to everyone, write only to user and group
[15:35] <toxrn> the probles
[15:35] <toxrn> is
[15:35] <mynyml> my computer shuts down after less than 5 mins of use; right before that the fan starts runny like crazy. i checked the system monitor and it didnt indicate that something was using a lot of cpu power. any idea?
[15:35] <FloodBot2> toxrn: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:35] <toxrn> problem*
[15:35] <Seveas> and backports...
[15:35] <nerous> its xubuntu
[15:35] <kmg> can somebody pastebin their sources.list for me?? all my sources are timing out.  I have the most recent version of ubuntu.
[15:35] <Seveas> !enter | toxrn
[15:35] <ubotu> toxrn: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[15:35] <gurpreet> Seveas, what is cookie? i am new to ubuntu
[15:35] <toxrn> when i restart the pc
[15:35] <toxrn> the x cant run
[15:35] <erUSUL> baadnewz: so you did not mounted it yet have you used ntfs-config ??
[15:35] <nerous> 7.10
[15:35] <RantingHuman> th0r, alright... except, there exists no dmask atm... I guess I'll add that
[15:36] <baadnewz> erUSUL,  yes i did run ntfs-config like u've said, and ntfs cofig windows showed up and had 2 checkboxes.. id checked them both then ok
[15:36] <th0r> RantingHuman dmask applies only to directories...fmask only to regular files....umask to everything. I am assuming they are cooperative....so when you set dmask it overrides umask...but you will need to verify that
[15:36] <wadafak> nerous: some changes in the adobe flash player or something, I don't have the url with me right now but you can try flashplugin-nonfree
[15:36] <baadnewz> *ntfs-config window (sorry for typo and bad english)
[15:37] <erUSUL> baadnewz: can you check if the partition appears on your /etc/fstab?
[15:37] <wadafak> it should work
[15:37] <Seveas> gurpreet, someone who's new to ubuntu should stick to official repos. Not backports and definitely not -proposed
[15:37] <th0r> RantingHuman the world will need execute permission to change directories
[15:37] <RantingHuman> th0r, ohh... alright, will see what it does.. thanks :)
[15:37] <RantingHuman> th0r, oh!
[15:37] <th0r> RantingHuman can't 'cd' without 'x'....go figure <smile>
[15:37] <baadnewz> erUSUL,  no there is not in fstab .. only lines i have are for the nonraid hdd
[15:37] <gurpreet> Seveas, but i am not new to linux.
[15:37] <nerous> i found something
[15:38] <nerous> ill let you guys know
[15:38] <RantingHuman> th0r, so, umask 002 ?
[15:38] <gurpreet> Seveas, selecting proposed and backports shouldn't break my sources.list
[15:38] <mynyml> anyone knows why my box would decide to shut down within 5 minutes?
[15:38] <Seveas> gurpreet, but it will at some point break your system
[15:38] <baadnewz> erUSUL,  can u wait for 5 mins i must reboot i think i may know where the problem is
[15:38] <Seveas> mynyml, did you test the shutdown +5 command someone mentioned? :)
[15:39] <RantingHuman> th0r, er, no, umask 002 might cause problems; 'll try dmask 002 and umask 003
[15:39] <Seveas> mynyml, sudo shutdown -c should cancel that
[15:39] <th0r> RantingHuman exactly
[15:39] <gurpreet> Seveas, ok i will not use backports and proposed. will this correct my souces.list or is there some other prob too?
[15:39] <l3ttuc3> does anyone know of a decent gui frontend to iptables?
[15:39] <_moro_bana_> jack_Sparrow
[15:39] <Seveas> gurpreet, the installer commented out lots of entries, the in.archive mirror may be broken, try another one
[15:40] <mynyml> Seveas: nah i didnt test anything. its been doing this since yesterday night
[15:40] <gurpreet> Seveas, yes, many entries are commented out, i was also wondering abt it
[15:40] <emma> l3ttuc3,  I think firestarter  might be.
[15:40] <kmg> can somebody pastebin their sources.list for me?? all my sources are timing out.  I have the most recent version of ubuntu.
[15:40] <l3ttuc3> ubuntu comes with shoreline firewall, but that's terribly complicated too :(.
[15:40] <l3ttuc3> emma i was just having some problems with firestarter, and purged it.
[15:40] <emma> !firestarter
[15:40] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[15:40] <gurpreet> Seveas, this seems to be much more lines then used to be in source.list of etch
[15:40] <mynyml> Seveas: i'm in recovery mode right now, and its fine so i guess the hardware is fine.
[15:41] <Seveas> firestarter isn't what I call decent :)
[15:41] <phenom> Problems with Firestarter? Blasphemy. :)
[15:41] <Seveas> l3ttuc3, maybe guarddog is, I never used it though
[15:41] <l3ttuc3> emma uh, i purged firestarter.
[15:41] <phenom> Really Seveas?
[15:41] <Seveas> gurpreet, because of all the commented out stuff :)
[15:41] <phenom> I've had no problem with it, I think it is great for adding rules. :|
[15:41] <PaulEU> hello!
[15:41] <l3ttuc3> Seveas indeed, i wasn't quite happy with it. aren't there anything else? i've been out of the linux loop for too long (hiatus of about 8 years). sorry if my questions are a bit annoying.
[15:41] <Seveas> phenom, yeah, it tries to be too smart and adds too much crap to the rules
[15:42] <gurpreet> Seveas, may be because this time i selected india mirror
[15:42] <Seveas> l3ttuc3, I use iptables from the command line, works best :)
[15:42] <l3ttuc3> phenom how would u turn off logging with that?
[15:42] <MirJA> gurpreet, india mirror sux, use europe ones
[15:42] <Seveas> l3ttuc3, but I do have the iptables quick reference (small booklet) nearby at all times ;)
[15:42] <PaulEU> I have question: where should I raport bug in software Firefox v3 beta?
[15:42] <gurpreet> Seveas, changing sources.list using 'Software Sources'. i will show it to u in sometime
[15:42] <l3ttuc3> Seveas it's got a level of complexity im not in a position to get into at present unfortunately.
[15:43] <gurpreet> MirJA, i didnt knew abt it?but y?
[15:43] <Seveas> l3ttuc3, what kind of rules do you need, basic stuff is quickly explained
[15:43] <l3ttuc3> Seveas hmm... i'd rather start with something a little simpler. besides, if i had the time, i'd probably go raw, like you. i dont.
[15:43] <MirJA> gurpreet, i have no answer to why but unfortunately they do
[15:43] <erUSUL> l3ttuc3: firehol is easy enough unfortunetly has been broken on ubuntu for ages (there is a fixed package in updates or proposed iirc) that's what i use
[15:44] <gurpreet> MirJA, because they are slow? or not up to date?
[15:44] <l3ttuc3> Seveas well, basically, i want to enable things like port 80, irc, msn/jabber/yahoo. i also want to be able to drop incoming packets from sites such as pagead.google.com.
[15:44] <Seveas> l3ttuc3, by default all ports are open, so you don't need to enable things
[15:44] <emma> l3ttuc3,  you may find something here -- http://www.roseindia.net/linux/linux-firewall-gui.shtml
[15:44] <l3ttuc3> erUSUL hmm. need kinda something stable. already had issues with one, don't want problems with another firewall frontend.
[15:44] <baadnewz> erUSUL,  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53703/
[15:44] <phenom> l3ttuc3, I don't know, I don't leave it running, I had set firestarter to my rc.conf So that Firestarters rules stick at boot.
[15:44] <l3ttuc3> emma thanks, will look that up.
[15:45] <MirJA> gurpreet, i guess its because they are slow
[15:45] <Seveas> for dropping packets from a certain IP: iptables -A INPUT -s ip.address.here -j DROP
[15:45] <RantingHuman> th0r, un0p : Works like a charm :D Thank you!
[15:45] <emma> My opinion is that firestarter is more than decent however.
[15:45] <DuClare> Simply disabling ports doesn't do a thing.  It's the traffic that can be malicious, not a port...  And any traffic may go through any port.
[15:45] <th0r> RantingHuman great...glad to help
[15:45] <gurpreet> MirJA, choosing best server
[15:45] <MirJA> gurpreet, just choose mirror outside of asia (except china mirrors) and your problem may be solved
[15:46] <l3ttuc3> Seveas so i need to find out how to selectively close things down. i suspect i need a rule to disable all traffic, then one by one enable essentials. that was what i was saying was going to be tedious heh.
[15:46] <l3ttuc3> on a command line, that is.
[15:46] <MirJA> i'll be back
[15:46] <bazhang> taiwans are fast gurpreet
[15:46] <gurpreet> MirJA, there is an option to 'choose best server' using that
[15:46] <erUSUL> baadnewz: you have to use /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca1  note the final 1 as the partition identifier /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca means the whole disk and we mount partitions no whole disks
[15:46] <Seveas> l3ttuc3, you can change the policy to drop things and selectively allow
[15:46] <Stephen-Mason> is there a divx web player for ubuntu?
[15:46] <Seveas> l3ttuc3, hang on a bit and I'll pastebin you a simple ruleset for this
[15:46] <thomas> hello
[15:46] <phenom> Because if you all didn't know, unless Firestarter is "running" at boot, or Firestarter is properly set up in rc.conf, then your set FS rules are not active at boot.
[15:47] <baadnewz> erUSUL,  ok .. undersrood (kinda of) .. what do i have to do next?
[15:47] <bazhang> hi thomas
[15:47] <gurpreet> bazhang, but that may be because you may be near to taiwan. won't work same for me
[15:47] <DuClare> l3ttuc3, Add a default rule to drop all traffic.
[15:47] <DuClare> l3ttuc3, Then start adding expections for the traffic you want to allow.
[15:47] <erUSUL> Seveas: you should roll your own seveasfw_0.1-ubuntu.deb XD
[15:47] <erUSUL> baadnewz: have you mounted it manually?
[15:47] <gurpreet> ubuntu chose UK server for me
[15:47] <thomas> how to install javav6 from terminal?
[15:47] <DuClare> l3ttuc3, You'd want to allow all outgoing traffic and packets related to already established connections.
[15:47] <emma> Stephen-Mason,  I would check out VLC but I'm not sure.
[15:47] <erUSUL> !java > thomas
[15:48] <DuClare> l3ttuc3, Then punch in the holes to allow incoming traffic for servers if you run any.
[15:48] <emma> !VLC > Stephen-Mason
[15:48] <baadnewz> erUSUL,  nop i dont manage to mount it .. i dont know how to do that (sorry im new in linux world)
[15:48] <BusMaster> there is this guy in my corridor who uses his macbook to create a wireless network to which we can connect. Can I do the same with my laptop? I am using gutsy
[15:48] <totherabc> hi i`ve got a question, where are the programm files and directorys saved from programms like eclipse?
[15:48] <erUSUL> baadnewz: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca /media/raid/
[15:48] <erUSUL> baadnewz: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca1 /media/raid/
[15:48] <erUSUL> should work
[15:48] <Stephen-Mason> vlc will player stage 6 movies?
[15:49] <erUSUL> baadnewz: just to make a test later we can edit /etc/fstab to make it permanent
[15:49] <DuClare> totherabc, It depends, many programs have data in /usr/share
[15:49] <s0laris> hallo
[15:49] <phenom> Guys let me ask, do you have to reset your iptables rules at every boot, or do you set them in rc.conf as well?
[15:49] <lettuc3> sorry. got disconnected.
[15:49] <baadnewz> erUSUL,  root@b0x:/home/baadnewz# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca1 /media/raid/
[15:49] <baadnewz> Failed to access '/dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca1': No such file or directory
[15:49] <lettuc3> Seveas didn't see anything after you said pastebin, sorry.
[15:49] <erUSUL> Stephen-Mason: i use mozilla-mplayer
[15:50] <Seveas> lettuc3, I'm still working on it, hang on a bit more :)
[15:50] <totherabc> DuClare: isnt there a standart directory? i cant find my eclipse dir.
[15:50] <lettuc3> ah ok, no problems.
[15:50] <DuClare> totherabc, Just what are you exactly looking for in that dir?
[15:50] <erUSUL> baadnewz: run "sudo dmraid -r" and try again
[15:50] <DuClare> totherabc, Most of the time you shouldn't need to touch the files in those dirs..
[15:51] <gurpreet> Seveas, please have a look at http://rafb.net/p/klBZHV52.html. i have changed sources.list
[15:51] <DuClare> totherabc, But did you check /usr/share/ ?  Sometimes you can find things in /opt too, but that's pretty funny.
[15:51] <baadnewz> erUSUL,  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53705/
[15:52] <Seveas> lettuc3, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53704/ should give you a good starting point
[15:52] <totherabc> DuClare, I checked /usr/share ;  i wanna install the plugin VEP
[15:52] <lettuc3> thanks. i'll have a look.
[15:52] <gurpreet> totherabc, use 'find / -iname eclipse'
[15:52] <lettuc3> Seveas, thanks, i'll have a look.
[15:52] <DuClare> totherabc, You could try locate.
[15:52] <erUSUL> baadnewz: sudo fdisk -l /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca  ??
[15:53] <DuClare> totherabc, Do you need to install it in a system-wide location?  You could maybe just install it for your user...
[15:53] <lettuc3> damn that looks a little complicated.
[15:53] <totherabc> DuClare, only for one use ive got just a one user system
[15:53] <baadnewz> erUSUL, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53707/
[15:53] <emma> Stephen-Mason,  check this out -- http://bembelbee.wordpress.com/2007/06/19/watching-stage6-video-streams-without-divx-web-player-plugin-with-firefox/
[15:54] <DuClare> totherabc, Then install it in your home ...  Doesn't the eclipse plugin manager thing find it?
[15:54] <kna> i want to hide a bittorrent server in the internet, how can i do that best, if a set up a box mannually?
[15:55] <DuClare> kna, What do you mean by hiding?
[15:55] <phenom> "Hiding a tracker"
[15:55] <phenom> :P
[15:55] <erUSUL> baadnewz: so; why doesn't the dev file get created? ...
[15:55] <DuClare> phenom, Wasn't it a bittorrent server!
[15:55] <Seveas> gurpreet, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53708/
[15:55] <kna> how can i do it best? i dont know anything ... what are the steps after i have registered a domain?
[15:56] <baadnewz> erUSUL,  i dont know ..
[15:56] <DuClare> kna, What are you hiding / hiding from what?
[15:56] <totherabc> DuClare, I loaded it from the eclipse site directly
[15:56] <DuClare> totherabc, I'd usually try the installer inside eclipse before doing things manually.
[15:56] <erUSUL> baadnewz: the partition is there the dev file should have been created.... dunno why not is the case...
[15:56] <emma> kna -- You will want to find some one to host your website. You might have the same people you registered the domain host it, or you might shop around.
[15:56] <totherabc> DuClare, ok then I try to find the PlugIn manager
[15:57] <DuClare> totherabc, Not sure if it was in the help menu ...  In 3.2 ^^
[15:57] <baadnewz> erUSUL,  ok , any ideas what is left for me to do ?
[15:58] <erUSUL> Seveas: do you have any experience with dmraid ?? baadnewz partition nodes are not getting created ...
[15:58] <DuClare> kna, Freenet and tor are great places for hiding things.
[15:58] <DuClare> kna, "places" if you can call them that
[15:58] <emma> What does he mean by 'hiding' ?
[15:58] <phenom> This is a bad time to think of starting a torrent server.
[15:58] <DuClare> kna, But you never said what is this "bittorrent server"
[15:58] <Seveas> erUSUL, none whatsoever
[15:59] <kna> i want to give people a site where they can find bittorrent downloads ..
[15:59] <lashmoove|live> im looking for help on softraid, im using the howto
[15:59] <bazhang> kna that sounds questionable; this is not the best place to discuss that
[15:59] <kna> and i code a "move to next server" application, to forward my db and all the shit if i get caught
[15:59] <baadnewz> erUSUL,  ok so i must digg more for dmraid ?
[15:59] <lashmoove|live> i get an error on sudo fdisk /dev/mapper/via_hfciifae becuase i dont have /mapper via livecd
[15:59] <emma> So you want to be like piratebay.
[15:59] <bazhang> !piracy | kna
[15:59] <ubotu> kna: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o
[15:59] <DuClare> kna, If people can find that site, it's not hidden; if you want to hide you don't show it.  But tor would be pretty good at keeping the source host anonymized.
[15:59] <erUSUL> baadnewz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto take a look here
[15:59] <DuClare> kna, tor has hidden services.
[15:59] <DiceyDaysx> Can I use a vmware .vmdk file without converting it for virtualbox? Or do I need to convert it with a .vdi file?
[16:00] <bazhang> DiceyDaysx: no
[16:00] <totherabc> DuClare, thx I found now the dirs in /usr/lib
[16:00] <DuClare> kna, And btw, it's not a "bittorrent server" if it's just a web server serving out torrent files :p
[16:00] <erUSUL> baadnewz: sorry for not being of much help
[16:00] <DiceyDaysx> bazhang- So I need to convert it?
[16:00] <baadnewz> erUSUL,  dont worry i apreciate everything you did for me i will keep looking for answers , thanks
[16:00] <gurpreet> Seveas, checked mine with yours, expect difference of servers rest all is same
[16:00] <bazhang> DiceyDaysx: you need to start from scratch
[16:00] <gurpreet> Seveas, thanks
[16:01] <DuClare> kna, Anyway, tor and deep web are the answers.  Deep web basically means information which won't get indexed because it has limited access.
[16:01] <DiceyDaysx> bazhang- Because I am using this guide ( http://tinyurl.com/2v524g ) and I can't download the vdi tool correctly
[16:01] <kna> ok
[16:02] <kna> well ii thought i have to highjack my own dns entrys or what .. to get the webserver allways alive
[16:02] <gurpreet> how can i install flash for firefox? is it in repos?
[16:02] <phenom> Does any one belong to a real torrent server group? Where your ratio is actually monitored?
[16:02] <StrangeCharm_> i need some advice on setting up a new system. its main role will be as a fileserver, though i'll probably want it running as a proxy as well. the important thing is the hard drives. there are 3x300gb 1x320gb 1x160gb and 1x40gb. i really want to use the 300 & 320s for an encrypted raid to store data on, but then i'm not sure what to do with the leftover 20, the 40 and the 160 in terms of system disks, and actually making use of them
[16:02] <kidem> hey whats a good wireless manager for ubuntu?
[16:02] <CarlFK> can anyone recommend a cheap web cam?

This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads.

[16:04] <MrSte> afternoon guys, i´m trying to backup information from my windows install, i´m using ubuntu 7.10 live cd but when I plug in my western digital passport (external usb hdd) it doesn´t show up, any ideas?

[16:04] <ubuntu> hi, i have a pinnacle 110i but i dont get sound in ubuntu 7.10, someone help please

[16:06] <sam__> anyone have any idea how to be the root account on ubuntu
[16:06] <emma> sudo su
[16:06] <bazhang> sam__: bad idea though
[16:06] <IndyGunFreak> !root | sam__
[16:06] <ubotu> sam__: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[16:06] <IndyGunFreak> emma: thats pretty bad advice
[16:06] <emma> okay. sam, don't do sudo su
[16:07] <sam__> ok
[16:07] <sam__> how do I access the root folder via terminal
[16:07] <Seveas> cd /
[16:07] <sam__> instead of sam@laptop
[16:07] <IndyGunFreak> sam__: open a terminal, gksudo nautilus
[16:07] <Seveas> IndyGunFreak, that's also pretty bad advice :)
[16:07] <Seveas> sam__, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[16:07] <IndyGunFreak> well, it could be way worse..lol, he asked how to get int he root folder, i told him.
[16:07] <Seveas> you harldy ever need to do file manipulation as root
[16:08] <Seveas> (if at all)
[16:08] <IndyGunFreak> Seveas: this is true.
[16:08] <emma> I have had to do it in order to change permissions.
[16:08] <sam__> I need to configure my network devices
[16:09] <IndyGunFreak> you should usually be able to do that from commandline
[16:09] <Seveas> emma, you were probably thinking the wrong way -- you shouldn't have to change permissions anywhere :)
[16:09] <sam__> my computer knows the devices are there but wont configure them
[16:09] <sam__> as in, won't use them

[16:09] <emma> Suppose you want to do a fresh install but save your current home folder.  You might have the change permissions when you copy it over into the new home folder.
[16:10] <monstrfolk> why the kick?

[16:11] <Seveas> microphex, yes
[16:11] <vkong> 4Gb is too small i think
[16:11] <microphex> link?
[16:11] <Basem> i have windows at 8gb partion
[16:11] <IndyGunFreak> monstrfolk: pastebin it, looks like it got cut off when you got kicked.
[16:11] <Basem> and 4 gb is free
[16:12] <emma> Basem  -- My homefolder is 24.9 GB so you will probably get it working but feel cramped pretty soon.

[16:13] <monstrfolk> IndyGunFreak, I pastebined it...i do not know if i did it right

[16:15] <IndyGunFreak> monstrfolk: can't really explain it, are you able to open it from the System/Prefs menu?
[16:15] <monstrfolk> no
[16:15] <Seveas> monstrfolk, are you running it as your normal user on the local machine?
[16:15] <monstrfolk> yes
[16:16] <ali> sam go to system setings --users and groups. from the main menu in xubuntu anyhow -- click on user root --go to properties --set the password by hand. then type su at terminal with the root password you set.
[16:16] <Seveas> monstrfolk, do this: ifconfig -a

[16:24] <Freakingme> Seveas 'should' ;) They don't...
[16:24] <Seveas> monstrfolk, not really - you run as coorect user, on the local host and the loopback interface is up... so it should work

[16:26] <Wrathtide> ownge
[16:26] <Wrathtide> sorry, wrong window :P
[16:26] <Freakingme> millllmannnn isn't that a clientside problem?
[16:26] <Dante124> IndyGunFreak a terminal window comes up for a brief second then closes.....doesn't seem to be working.  Anyway to keep terminal window open?  Is the app really running?
[16:26] <IndyGunFreak> monstrfolk: w/ AMDs purchase of ATI though, and the fact they are going to release the driver to the open source community, ATI will probably surpass Nvidia in the near future
[16:26] <ilikebuntu000> i used loopback fo a datastream the other day for the first time yeserday! I was SO geekd WWWEEEEEeeeeee
[16:26] <LucidFox> listen, the missing keyboard problem is urgent
[16:26] <IndyGunFreak> Dante124: hmm, when i run an app in terminal like that, the terminal does stay open
[16:26] <monstrfolk> Indy....I really hope so
[16:26] <Seveas> sam__, I see 2 wireless network cards, is that correct?
[16:26] <LucidFox> I'm even lucky to have IRC right now
[16:27] <millllmannnn> freakingme: i dont believe so... i have read that its because ubuntu doesnt have a native guest account, but ive tried creating a passwordless guest account and it still doesnt work
[16:27] <sam__> seveas - should be i have a built in one and an external one, neither make anything show up
[16:28] <Seveas> sam__, the external one is having a driver problem. The internal one not, but its radio may be switched off, do you have a wireless-kill-switch?
[16:28] <DRebellion> Dante124: change your terminal profile so that the terminal stays open when the command exits
[16:28] <sam__> seveas, yes, its now turned on
[16:28] <Dante124> how do i do that?
[16:28] <Seveas> sam__, also run this command and pastebin the output: sudo iwlist scan
[16:28] <IndyGunFreak> Dante124: i just done it again, to make sure.. but my terminal stays open
[16:28] <Basem> guys i read the sites but it didnt help me
[16:28] <Dante124> DRebellion how do I change terminal profile
[16:29] <Dante124> when I open a terminal and issue the command it works.
[16:29] <DRebellion> Dante124: open the terminal app. right-click on the window and select "edit current profile"
[16:29] <ilikebuntu000> u can just do "iwconfig[options]... down" im pretty sure
[16:29] <Dante124> But when i run the launcher it opens for a sec then disappears
[16:29] <sam__> seveas http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53718/
[16:29] <ilikebuntu000> and that should turn your lights on your wifi device off if it has lights for that

[16:30] <Seveas> sam__, at least one of them is working :)
[16:30] <monstrfolk> Seveas...i just noticed I get that error when i open just about anything
[16:30] <Dante124> heres is the command I issue from launcher (maybe there is a problem there)  :  cd /home/mark/Desktop/CODserver ;  ./cod_lnxded +set dedicated 2 +exec dedicated.cfg &
[16:30] <monstrfolk> Seveas, could it be a permissions error
[16:30] <sam__> seveas but the LED doesn't turn on, I don't think it recognises it
[16:30] <Seveas> sam__, unplug the external one and run the last command again
[16:30] <Lunar_Lamp> I have a problem with rhythmbox - when searching for tracks within it, it freezes my entire computer for a minute or so whilst it is using 100% CPU.  Anyone know what's going on here?
[16:30] <ilikebuntu000> you should practice with an external card-slot based PCMCIA (?) card so you have the LED lights on the outside vsible onn a laptop when setting up WiFi with linux
[16:31] <roddersg> Can anyone tell me which package to install to show the "printers" in gnome-desktop (I'm trying to do a minimal install)
[16:31] <DRebellion> Dante124: go to applications > accessories > terminal. right-click on the terminal that opens up and select "edit current profile". set the behaviour to not close when a command exits.
[16:31] <Seveas> roddersg, system-config-printer
[16:31] <ilikebuntu000> so its good sounds like u have that kind sam
[16:31] <sam__> seveas says the first 3 the same, and then wlan0 Interface does not support scanning: Network is down
[16:31] <Seveas> sam__, and eth1 is gone missing?
[16:31] <roddersg> Hi Seveas - I thought that was for fedora only, let me try
[16:32] <sam__> seveas yes indeed
[16:32] <ilikebuntu000> when you installed ubuntu was the card In Place?
[16:32] <roddersg> BTW do I need to install lpr/lpd or can I just live with cups
[16:32] <Seveas> sam__, ok, so the *internal* one is having an issue and the external is ok
[16:32] <ilikebuntu000> hav u tried putting in the card, and then reboot from a CD sand see if the LiveCD can bring it up?
[16:32] <ilikebuntu000> you could then chek what IS running at that time
[16:32] <Seveas> sam__, could you pastebin the /etc/network/interfaces file?
[16:32] <sam__> seveas, I don't understand
[16:33] <ilikebuntu000> O
[16:33] <Seveas> sam__, there's a file on your system called /etc/network/interfaces -- put its contents on the pastebin
[16:33] <Dante124> DRebellion okay I set the default terminal profile and told it to hold it open.  However now it doesn't issue the command

[16:34] <Seveas> ilikebuntu000, it's an atheros, should work
[16:34] <LucidFox> I've determined that the keyboard lockup is caused by gnome-settings-daemon
[16:34] <LucidFox> What can I do about it?
[16:34] <DRebellion> Dennis_: just ask your question ;)
[16:34] <Dante124> I mean. I see nothing on the screen.  like the command didn't run.
[16:34] <LucidFox> I've had the problem before
[16:34] <ilikebuntu000> Seveas > the internal one is th Atheros based chipset? my atheros is pcmcia based i think
[16:34] <DRebellion> Dante124: maybe it only ran cd

[16:35] <sam__> seveas http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53721/
[16:35] <Seveas> ilikebuntu000, it's probably minipci, i've had one of those as well
[16:35] <Dante124> I'll try again
[16:35] <Seveas> sam__, ah you're doing manual config -- you shouldn't do that, just use network-manager
[16:35] <Dennis_> I'd like to know if there is another channel corresponding Xen under Ubuntu. Does anybody know?
[16:36] <DRebellion> Dante124: try deleting the space before the semicolon in your command
[16:36] <sam__> seveas network manager doesn't show up anything at all
[16:36] <Seveas> sam__, if you remove all the manual configuration from that file, leave the external wifi dongle unplugged and reboot, network-manager should pick up the internal one and work with it
[16:36] <DRebellion> Dante124: or put it in a script and run the script with the launcher
[16:36] <Seveas> sam__, n-m doesn't show anything *because* you made manual changes
[16:36] <sam__> seveas which bits should I delete
[16:37] <ilikebuntu000> heh, Nice, yes try get his Atheros running with madwifi.
[16:37] <Seveas> sam__, all the bits that start with wpa, just put a # in front
[16:37] <kitche> Dennis_: there is an url you can go to on ubuntu.com that might have your information your looking for
[16:37] <kitche> !xen > Dennis_
[16:37] <sam__> seveas no file write permissions
[16:38] <Seveas> sam__, sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[16:38] <Seveas> that opens the editor as root
[16:38] <DRebellion> Seveas: sam__: NO! its - gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[16:38] <alsadk> how can i verify my kernel ver?
[16:38] <Dante124>  DRebellion..sorry to be a noob.  How do I do that  (btw eliminating spaces didn't work)
[16:38] <DRebellion> alsadk: uname -a
[16:38] <Seveas> DRebellion, last time I checked gedit still had problems when run with gksudo :)
[16:39] <DRebellion> Seveas: surely its the other way round?
[16:39] <DRebellion> Seveas: no problems here ;)
[16:39] <sam__> seveas it worked fine
[16:39] <protcront> hello
[16:39] <syntaxerror55> Seveas: DRebellion: it works better wth gksudo
[16:39] <StrangeCharm_> what's the correct way to partition one's drives?
[16:39] <Seveas> DRebellion, well, last time I checked was about a year ago though :)
[16:39] <syntaxerror55> protcront: Hi.
[16:39] <protcront> how to remove all the games from the ubuntu
[16:39] <DRebellion> Seveas: syntaxerror55: sam__: I rest my case.
[16:39] <alsadk> how can i upgrade the kernel?
[16:39] <kitche> StrangeCharm_: there is no correct way really just depends on how the user wants it
[16:40] <sam__> dreblellion it worked fine for me
[16:40] <Dennis_> kitch_, I will look for it, thnk you.
[16:40] <StrangeCharm_> protcront: go to add/remove at the bottom of the applications menu
[16:40] <DRebellion> alsadk: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[16:40] <IndyGunFreak> alsadk: if you have to ask, probably not a task you should undertake w/o doing a lot of reading
[16:40] <jqk> StrangeCharm_: fstab, gparted etc.
[16:40] <Dante124> DRebellion ok.  I made a text file with the commands in it.  Assuming this is my script now what?
[16:41] <DRebellion> Dante124: can you pastebin your script?
[16:41] <alsadk> thx
[16:41] <DRebellion> !pastebin | Dante124
[16:41] <ubotu> Dante124: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[16:41] <StrangeCharm_> kitche: i have an ungodly set of disks to make into a fileserver and i want to know what i should be aiming for. should i just make / /home and swap? should i have separate partitions for every bit of the system? i have no diea
[16:41] <StrangeCharm_> jqk: i was enquiring about the scheme, not the technique, thanks
[16:41] <DRebellion> StrangeCharm_: what sort of file server? you may want /var on a seperate partition for serving the files?
[16:41] <kitche> StrangeCharm_: like I said depends on the user but most go with / /home and swap
[16:41] <Seveas> DRebellion, tsk tsk...
[16:41] <albech> anyone else experience random crashes when scrolling in firefox?
[16:41] <kmg> OK: I have an executable and I can't figure out why I can't run it.  It's definitely a linux executable.  I have execute permissions on it.  I do ./executablename and it says No such file or directory.  I am in the correct directory.  Now what do I do?
[16:42] <Seveas> served files should be in /srv :)
[16:42] <albech> and its a complete system crash
[16:42] <DRebellion> Seveas: bah... /var/www :P
[16:42] <Guits> Hi
[16:42] <kitche> kmg: do the full path to the executable
[16:42] <DRebellion> Seveas: at least that was how it was the last time i checked ;)
[16:42] <Seveas> DRebellion, not in the latest FHS :p
 in the admin section
[16:42] <Guits> CAnnot get better resolution than 800 600
[16:42] <Seveas> Guits, buy a better monitor :)
[16:42] <kmg> kitche: no such file or directory
 or somewhere else ?
[16:43] <kitche> kmg: are you sure the file is there?
[16:43] <Guits> no. had good before
[16:43] <kitche> DRebellion: FHS actually uses /srv now for files
[16:43] <Guits> changed ubuntu to ubuntu ultimate
[16:43] <kmg> kitche: positive, when I hit tab it even autocompletes to it
[16:43] <StrangeCharm_> DRebellion: a file server for my own use as some remote space
[16:44] <roddersg> Seveas; system-config-printer not available in 6.06, Do I need to install lpr/lpd first?
[16:44] <Dante124> DRebellion  http://paste.uni.cc/18206
[16:44] <StrangeCharm_> DRebellion: should i be putting the files in /var then ?
[16:44] <kitche> kmg: well your system is not seeing it
[16:44] <Seveas> roddersg, neh, just use 7.10 :)
[16:44] <kmg> kitche: apparently
[16:44] <StrangeCharm_> protcront: no, under games
[16:44] <DRebellion> StrangeCharm_: no
[16:44] <rbs-tito> StrangeCharm_: /var/www is Apache by default
[16:44] <roddersg> I know, but trying out a minimal Gnome
[16:44] <Seveas> roddersg, iirc the tool is named gnome-cups-$something
[16:44] <Guits> how can i make ubuntu rescan my config and find correct graphic drivers
[16:45] <roddersg> yeah, gnome-cups-manager but nothing comes up in the System>Administration menus
[16:45] <kmg> kitche: any other ideas?
[16:45] <kitche> kmg: nope if you used the full path like so sh <path> then it should have run
[16:46] <Seveas> bbl -- upgrading to hardy and it's almost time to reboot :)
[16:46] <alsadk> !logout
[16:46] <kmg> kitche: it's a binary executable
[16:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about logout - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[16:46] <sam__> seveas rebooted, left unplugged and nm still not showing anything
[16:46] <kitche> kmg: and your point being?
[16:46] <kmg> kitche: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
[16:46] <Dante124> DRebellion  http://paste.uni.cc/18206
[16:46] <roddersg> any points to setting up printing from scratch?
[16:46] <kmg> kitche: my point was that i wasn't using sh
[16:46] <kitche> kmg: well that's whow you run executables as well besides ./
[16:46] <kestir> Would someone please help me troubleshoot my sound?  it only comes through my center speaker and front right
[16:46] <kalpik> Guits, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[16:47] <DRebellion> Dante124: sorry, almost forgot :P
[16:47] <kmg> kitche: oh, I thought that was for shell scripts only
[16:47] <kitche> kmg: ./ is really just a shortcut way to say sh
[16:47] <rbs-tito> kitche: Only if you chmod + x
[16:48] <Guits> kalpik ....and then what_
[16:48] <rinaldi_> kestir: i take it its 5.1 surround?
[16:48] <kestir> rinaldi_: yes
[16:48] <kitche> rbs-tito: yes I know they alredy chmod +x
[16:48] <BernieSan> stranger
[16:48] <kitche> rbs-tito: please keep up with the conversation
[16:48] <kmg> kitche: k, well nothing is working here and I can't figure out why.  I can do file <name of executable> but I can't execute it
[16:48] <BernieSan> kitche
[16:48] <kalpik> Guits, ubuntu will then re-create the xorg file.. like it did at install time
[16:48] <BernieSan> what do you use? KDE or Gnome?
[16:48]  * white_eagle is away: white_eagle takes his gun and shoots himself
[16:48] <StrangeCharm_> DRebellion: where does the fileserver space go then?
[16:49] <sam__> seveas: I still have nothing showing in network manager
[16:49] <rinaldi_> kestir: have you cheked your sound preferences, the device track may have to be set to sound...
[16:49] <Guits> kalpik: nothing happens
[16:49] <BernieSan> how many people uses KDE or GNOME?
[16:49] <kestir> rinaldi_: alsamixer? everything is turned up
[16:49] <rinaldi_> kestir: *surround
[16:49] <kitche> BernieSan: myself neither but it's sort of a offtopic question
[16:49] <kalpik> Guits, u need to logout and log back in for changes to take place
[16:49] <eid> how can i make an image of my current Ubuntu to install on other machines  ?
[16:49] <Guits> ok thanx
[16:50] <DRebellion> Dante124: here i made some corrections, http://paste.uni.cc/18207
[16:50] <rinaldi_> kestir: go to system > preferences > sound and check the device track

[16:50] <kestir> rinaldi_: on all those boxes it says alsa
[16:51] <white_eagle> hello, my friend has  a partitioned drive and the one partition is 30GB and the other 120GB, in the 30 gigs one he has windows xp installed and I want to know is it possible to partition the other partition again?"
[16:51] <rinaldi_> kestir: if it's set to master front try selecting surround
[16:51] <Hoag> Greetings all. Can anyone tell me if there's a plugin for pidgin that allows you to send a message to everyone in a group?
[16:51] <DRebellion> white_eagle: of course
[16:51] <white_eagle> and he also asks if that is possible, can windows booting fail?
[16:52] <DRebellion> white_eagle: well, it is windows ;)
[16:52] <Dante124> DRebellion okay how do I create a launcher to start the script
[16:52] <rinaldi_> kestir: also what type of sound cable do you have?
[16:52] <Dante124> DRebellion sorry for the hand-holding through this...but I need it.:-D
[16:52] <white_eagle> DRebellion, so... if he partitions the 120gigs one, will windows be unharmed?
[16:53] <DRebellion> white_eagle: yes
[16:53] <white_eagle> ok
[16:53] <white_eagle> thanks
[16:53] <kestir> rinaldi_: sound cable?
[16:53] <sam__> seveas : nm has no option to manually choose my devices, so what do i do?
[16:53] <rinaldi_> kestir: what connects the computer to the speakers. is it just an ordinary 3.5mm jack?
[16:54] <kestir> rinaldi_: oh yes
[16:54] <DRebellion> Dante124: ok, now you need to make the script executable. open up a terminal and cd to the directory its in. then run,    chmod a+x <nameofscript>
[16:54] <rinaldi_> kestir: did you try selecting "surround"?
[16:54] <Lindemann> has anyone tried to compile any self-made application using iconv on ubuntu? if it was succesfull couldn't you show me some sources? :)
[16:54] <kestir> rinaldi_: in the box at the bottom? just highlight "surround"? that did nothing
[16:54] <internet____> hello, I cant mount my digital camera via usb :-(  dmesg say: http://pastebin.us/?show=m2557b1be can sb help me?
[16:55] <HardDisk> internet____, try sudo modprobe -r ehci_hcd
[16:55] <HardDisk> then once you're done do sudo modprobe ehci-hcd
[16:55] <HardDisk> note the difference between _ and -
[16:56] <Dante124> okay, did that DRebellion
[16:56] <root__> hi guys, i'm trying to get remote deskop working. it works actually but i need to be logged on and have the app started. how can i configure it so that i can logon remotely ?
[16:56] <rinaldi_> kestir: well it seems ok when i change it... sure its not a problem with your speakers? have you tried it with anything else?
[16:56] <kestir> rinaldi_: "Sound Preferences" down at the bottom "Default Mixer Tracks"
[16:57] <DRebellion> Dante124: ok, now give it a suitable name and move it to /usr/bin
[16:57] <kestir> rinaldi_: what's supposed to happen when you highlight something in that long list?
[16:57] <sam__> Seveas, you still around?
[16:57] <kestir> rinaldi_: no the speakers are fine, IWIW
[16:57] <_moro_bana_> i have installed ubuntu on usb but it runs like a live cd, is there a way to make an install like on a hdd
[16:58] <Dante124> i called it codserverscript  good enough?
[16:58] <El-Al> can anyone tell me whether the fglrx driver supports the ATi radeon 9500 series of video cards?
[16:58] <rinaldi_> kestir: well with me it changes the defoult output. did you try OSS just out of interest?
[16:58] <kestir> rinaldi_: in which option?
[16:58] <kestir> rinaldi_: there is no OSS in that long list
[16:59] <kestir> rinaldi_: and what is supposed to happen when you highlight something?
[16:59] <rinaldi_> kestir: where it says alsa, change it to OSS and see
[16:59] <nullie> hello.. I'm little puzzled - how can I install python-gps in ubuntu gutsy?
[16:59] <rinaldi_> kestir: well after i change it it changes output, but i have 2.1 surround so i wouldn't know it it changes anything with 5.1
[16:59] <kestir> rinaldi_: output where?
[17:00] <kestir> rinaldi_: the word output isn't on this window anywhere
[17:00] <Dante124> DRebellion okay I called it codserverscript and moved it into /usr/bin
[17:00] <Dante124> now what?
[17:00] <DRebellion> Dante124: now create a launcher and in the command box just put codserverscript
[17:01] <rinaldi_> kestir: well it changes for example i have a headphone jack on the front and that becomes the default output if i select "front" etc
[17:01] <rinaldi_> kestir: did you try changing to OSS mixer?
[17:01] <gnurph69> I've got Ubuntu up and running, with 2 NICs...and this strange virtual NIC called eth:avahi showed up.  What is this?
[17:01] <kestir> rinaldi_: yes, it does nothing whatsoever
[17:01] <FireHazrd> hi, i was trying  to install ebox on my ubuntu test machine and it messed up gnome and a bunch of other stuff... -> Is there a way to restore my ubuntu to default factory settings?
[17:01] <salah> Is there any channels where I can discuss GTK programming?
[17:02] <Dante124> DRebellion: did that and it does the same thing....terminal appears on the bottom app bar for a sec then disappears
[17:02] <Seveas> salah, #gtk on gimpnet :)
[17:02] <salah> Seveas, thanks a lot
[17:02] <Seveas> FireHazrd, yes, simply restore from your backup
[17:02] <rinaldi_> kestir: hmm, one sec
[17:02] <sam__> Seveas, any ideas on how to make it work now? I've done what you said to do
[17:02] <DRebellion> Dante124: :/ . You sure the command is right? Or it isn't started?
[17:03] <gnurph69> oops, I meant eth0:avahi
[17:03] <Seveas> sam__, try 'sudo iwlist scan' again -- if it says wlan0 is not up: sudo ifup wlan0 (then wait 10 seconds) sudo iwlist scan
[17:03] <protcront> i already have ubuntu and works perfectly fine but i want to try kubuntu, is there any way that i dont delete ubuntu and install kubuntu as well
[17:03] <rinaldi_> kestir: did you say it was only the front ones working?
[17:03] <FireHazrd> Seveas, does ubuntu take backups automatically or is this something i was to do manually?
[17:03] <Seveas> gnurph69, eth0:avahi can be ignored
[17:03] <kestir> rinaldi_: the center speaker and the front right
[17:03] <salah> Seveas, there was not to many people there.. the server is irc.us.gimp.org right?
[17:03] <Seveas> FireHazrd, the latter
[17:03] <gnurph69> Seveas:  thank you
[17:03] <DRebellion> protcront: you want kde? sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[17:04] <Seveas> salah, afaik that's correct
[17:04] <FireHazrd> Seveas, what is the easiest way to take my own backups?
[17:04] <Seveas> !backup | FireHazrd
[17:04] <ubotu> FireHazrd: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning
[17:04] <Dante124> DRebellion: if I open a terminal and issue the command it works fine.  But if I create a script or launcher the command does not work.  There is a default terminal profile and I created a second one called "Keep Open" if I use the default...then it terminal appears for a sec and disappears....If i use keep open....terminal opens but is empty blank and you can't type in it
[17:04] <FireHazrd> Seveas, thanks
[17:04] <protcront> DRebellion: okie then whats gonna happen with ubuntu ? and how will i able to acess kubuntu or ubuntu ?
[17:04] <sam__> seveas network is down again
[17:05] <Seveas> sam__, and ifup didn't help?
[17:05] <kestir> rinaldi_: oh wait
[17:05] <DRebellion> protcront: ok, if you install kubuntu-desktop then when you login you'll be able to choose between gnome or kde
[17:05] <kestir> rinaldi_: I installed GNOME ALSA Mixer...
[17:05] <roddersg> seavea:  install lpr and foomatic allowed me to bring up a printer menu
[17:05] <sam__> seveas, no not at all
[17:05] <protcront> DRebellion: any idea how much space its gonna take?
[17:06] <kestir> rinaldi_: 'SB Live Analog/Digital Output Jack' was checked...unchecking it engulfed me in lovely surround sound
[17:06] <DRebellion> protcront: nope sorry, if you run sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop it will tell you the size and ask ifyou want to install.
[17:06] <Seveas> sam__, and if you rightclick on the network-manager applet, is wireless enabled?
[17:06] <protcront> DRebellion: Does it gonna effect any ubuntu files which already installed !
[17:06] <rinaldi_> kestir: oh cool, where was that checkbox?
[17:06] <sam__> seveas, yes indeed
[17:06] <Kukus12> Elllo
[17:06] <Seveas> sam__, strangeness
[17:06] <DRebellion> protcront: you are still running ubuntu. you will have both gnome and kde.
[17:07] <Seveas> sam__, does the dmesg command give you errors about atheros?
[17:07] <kestir> rinaldi_: just down at the bottom...
[17:07] <ilikebuntu000> Hey- is there a way from within a USB-Flash-Drive installation of Ubuntu, that you could have Two GRUB menu entries- One for compizfusion boot with the full 9 yards, and another GRUB selection for just Normal, X-Server session with, say, just UniversalVGA X session????
[17:07] <DRebellion> protcront: the difference between ubuntu and kubuntu is that kubuntu uses kde and ubuntu uses gnome.
[17:07] <Dante124> DRebellion: if I open a terminal and issue the command it works fine.  But if I create a script or launcher the command does not work.  There is a default terminal profile and I created a second one called "Keep Open" if I use the default...then it terminal appears for a sec and disappears....If i use keep open....terminal opens but is empty blank and you can't type in it
[17:07] <internet____> HardDisk: root@kubuntu:/home/internet# modprobe -r ehci_hcd
[17:07] <internet____> root@kubuntu:/home/internet#
[17:07] <sam__> seveas, when i try ifup it says ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0
[17:07] <protcront> DRebellion: so basically no-point of installing it exactlly the same features !
[17:08] <DRebellion> Dante124: i really don't know why it would do that.
[17:08] <DRebellion> protcront: apart from the different desktop
[17:08] <rinaldi_> kestir: oh nice i never thought about that one. nice find
[17:08] <s0laris> hello; i've some problems with my webserver(apache2) on ubuntu; he faild to start; it get a error like: mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/run/apache2': Permission denied
[17:08] <DRebellion> protcront: its just a matter of preference
[17:08] <Seveas> sam__, ah, pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces again
[17:08] <whiter> i have ubuntu 7.10 installed but i cant figure out how to enable desktop icons like trash and such. anyone know how to do that?
[17:08] <DRebellion> s0laris: run the command with sudo
[17:08] <HardDisk> internet____, yea
[17:08] <protcront> DRebellion: which one  u using ?
[17:08] <HardDisk> now plug in your camera
[17:08] <sam__> seveas how do i open an editable document again?
[17:09] <HardDisk> sam__, gedit?
[17:09] <DRebellion> protcront: i am using neither. i am using xfce, a more lightweight desktop.
[17:09] <Seveas> sam__, gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[17:09] <HardDisk> sam__, nano?
[17:09] <WalloO> whiter: gtweakui
[17:09] <s0laris> yes then it works but after reboot apache2 dont run
[17:09] <HardDisk> take your pick.
[17:09] <MacQuassel> emacs!
[17:09] <DRebellion> what about vim?
[17:09] <HardDisk> is goot.
[17:09] <DRebellion> come on guys
[17:09] <HardDisk> ya

[17:09] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[17:10] <protcront> DRebellion: oh yes yes i heard of it, actually i used it long time ago. when why old laptop have 256ram basically i wana use eclipse
[17:10] <sam__> seveas http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53734/

[17:11] <vinolencia> howdy all; anyone here wanna take a stab at a 404 error i'm getting with the vlc web interface?
[17:11] <DRebellion> protcront: a bit, just starting out really.
[17:11] <sam__> seveas darn. no-one else I've spoken to has had half as much of an idea as you :(
[17:11] <AlohaTelefon> i feel that the sound quality is poorer in ubuntu than xp, i wonder if it's all in my mind
[17:11] <DRebellion> vinolencia: 404 is "page not found". its not a client problem.
[17:11] <protcront> DRebellion: any prefered language @ ?
[17:12] <vinolencia> yeah; im running vlc on a server comp and xsing it from a laptop
[17:12] <Seveas> sam__, sorry, you'll have to wait a bot
[17:12] <Seveas> bit*
[17:12] <DRebellion> protcront: english, why?
[17:12] <vinolencia> and the 404 arrived without any substantive changes done to the system
[17:12] <Dante124> DRebellion: Could there be something I need to check or uncheck under the Default terminal profile?
[17:13] <protcront> DRebellion: no no in programming! @ ?
[17:13] <DRebellion> Dante124: i doubt it
[17:13] <vinolencia> tried resettng prefs/cache and all, but still no luck, was wondering if someone had similar problems
[17:13] <DRebellion> protcront: C ;)
[17:13] <protcront> DRebellion: ah damn systems?
[17:13] <DRebellion> protcront: ???
[17:13] <Dante124> Right now...under command...the only thing ticked is Update login records when command is lauched  (Run command as login shell is unticked)
[17:14] <protcront> DRebellion: nothing just worked bit on system level so reminded me of that!
[17:14] <Dante124> DRebellion also default has when command exits:  exit the terminal
[17:15] <DRebellion> Dante124: i don't see how that would affect it, sorry.
[17:15] <lettuc3> is it natural for iptables -L to list entries about one each a second?
[17:16] <Dante124> hmmm...well thanks for trying.  I got the command to start call of duty under wine to work fine...but I guess I will just have to type in command from terminal each time to start server.  Was trying to make it easier for my kids
[17:16] <Dante124> DRebellion:  What about run command as a login shell...would that help?
[17:17] <Dante124> DRebellion: what does the -c do in "sh -c"

[17:19] <Basem> hi
[17:19] <Basem> i'm back
[17:19] <Basem> from the linux cd
[17:19] <Basem> so u can help me install it
[17:19] <Basem> now i'm at step 4 of 7
[17:20] <Basem> it's prepare disk space
[17:20] <HardDisk> yea
[17:20] <Basem> i have 2 options
[17:20] <HardDisk> Basem, you installing ubuntu eh?
[17:20] <monstrfolk> Seavas....i typed this into console     xhost +localhost
[17:20] <Basem> guided - use entire disk
[17:20] <Basem> and second one is manual
[17:20] <odysseas> !enter @ Basem
[17:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about enter @ basem - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[17:20] <monstrfolk> i then rebooted and now it works
[17:20] <odysseas> meh
[17:20] <monstrfolk> Seavas, no more error messages...thanks for your help
[17:20] <nickrud> !enter | Basem

[17:21] <HardDisk> Basem, are you installing on a HD or USB?
[17:21] <Basem> hd
[17:21] <Basem> but i want to install on windows pation that have 4 gb free
[17:21] <DIL> Basem, install windows first
[17:21] <HardDisk> Basem, well just use the resize too
[17:22] <pewpewpew> then the process will involve resizing
[17:22] <HardDisk> tool*
[17:22] <Basem> where can i find it?
[17:22] <HardDisk> during the installation.
[17:22] <Dante124> DRebellion thanks for help.  I type codserverscript from open terminal and it works....so while the launcher doesn't....we have saved the kiddies a few bit of typing.  Thanks for the help.
[17:22] <pewpewpew> if you plan on resizing you should defragment the partition in advance
[17:22] <pewpewpew> if the partition you want to resize is an active windows partition, that is
[17:22] <Basem> guys now i'm at step 4 and it give me 2 options use entire disk and manual
[17:22] <Basem> i dont see any resize tool
[17:23] <nickrud> Basem: the big issue is, defrag and maybe give yourself a little more space somehow, you'll need 4gb at the _very_ minimum for the install, plus some space for the swap partition
[17:23] <HardDisk> Basem, how is your windows setup?
[17:23] <Basem> what u mean how is my windos step up
[17:23] <DIL> Basem, is this a new drive
[17:23] <Basem> i have 2 partion in my computer one for the windows is 8 gb and have 4 gb
[17:24] <Basem> and the other one is for data like movies etc
[17:24] <internet____> HardDisk: Kyocera SL300R
[17:24] <lettuc3> aha. it was trying to resolve ips. thank you.
[17:24] <sam__> seveas give us a bell if you're free
[17:25] <HardDisk> Basem, ta3ala #ubuntu-eg
[17:25] <RequinB5> morningall
[17:26] <DIL> Basem, you dont want to do the whole disk then manual
[17:26] <Stephen-Mason> whats the command for installing something?
[17:26] <WalloO> apt-get install packageName
[17:26] <lettuc3> would it be possible to drop all packets going to pagead2.googlesyndication.com using the name rather than the IP? furthermore, would it be possible to block any packets where the url is something like http://*.com*/adverts/*?
[17:26] <nickrud> Stephen-Mason: sudo apt-get install <packagename>
[17:26] <DRebellion> Dante124: no problem. at least you learned a bit about shell scripts ;)
[17:27] <DIL> "./install"??
[17:27] <Stephen-Mason> cool
[17:27] <pewpewpew> lettuc3: Is your concern web browsing only?
[17:27] <RequinB5> which file in /bin is firefox executable?
[17:27] <lettuc3> pewpewpew at the moment it is. i'll read more of iptables when i have a chance.
[17:27] <Vala>  hi people. I have NVIDIA card with svideo. how do I use it? what should I install / enable?
[17:27] <WalloO> Refugee, : it'S not in /bin
[17:28] <WalloO> oups... not refugee... error... :)
[17:28] <xealot> Hello all, I have a question about wxGlade, im attempting to design a basic chat interface with one large multiline textbox and one small single line one, They reside in a 2 row Sizer, my problem is that the smaller single line box wont be anchored to the bottom of the frame
[17:28] <lettuc3> pewpewpew i want to drop those packets because i don't want ads to show up when i'm browsing.
[17:28] <RequinB5> Refugee?  um, i just want a desktop shortcut WalloO xD
[17:28] <xealot> so if i resize downwards, i will just get a large empty space of nothing instead of the controls auto resizing
[17:28] <pewpewpew> lettuc3: If that's your concern, then AdBlock maybe would be a better choice
[17:28] <jengle> hi all.
[17:29] <pewpewpew> Just because there are nifty lists already online, blocking pretty much everything ad-related
[17:29] <Stephen-Mason> HAHA!
[17:29] <RequinB5> hello jengle
[17:29] <lettuc3> pewpewpew i dont use firefox, but opera.
[17:29] <Nitin> Hey Jengle.
[17:29] <WalloO> RequinB5:  open a terminla en run "whereis firefox" to know where firefox is. then create your shortcut using the output
[17:29] <lettuc3> pewpewpew is iptables too low-level for that kind of filtering to work?
[17:30] <RequinB5> WalloO - thx, then i'd assume it would be the /usr/bin
[17:30] <WalloO> RequinB5, but since firefox is in your path, just type "firefox" has coimmand to run.
[17:30] <overridex> anyone have a tar of the WMD wiimote driver from forthewiin.org?  the site's been down for quite a while...
[17:30] <pewpewpew> I'm pretty sure it can be done via iptables. Can't really help you there though.
[17:30] <Vala>  hi people. I have NVIDIA card with svideo. how do I use it? what should I install / enable? (it's already connected to the TV)
[17:30] <Stephen-Mason> i think i need to install vmware-install.pl how do i do that?
[17:30] <phenom> lettuc3, http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm /may be of interest to you. This article is based on win, but the hosts file is relevant on linux as well.
[17:31] <lettuc3> phenom ok i
[17:31] <lettuc3> i'll have a look at that.
[17:31] <WalloO> Stephen-Mason, run ./vmware-install.pl or perl  vmware-install.pl

[17:35] <TheDarkKiller> Something weird happened today
[17:35] <HardDisk> AlohaTelefon, define better sound quality.
[17:35] <WalloO> I've a question: I want to setup a server which will be accessed with ssh from remote desktop, to allow users to run their own virtual machine with guest OS. What is the best solution for that? Vmware player, Workstation, or other linux opensource solutions?
[17:35] <DIL> what what
[17:36] <AlohaTelefon> it's like tinny in ubuntu

[17:36] <HardDisk> AlohaTelefon, you're not making sense.
[17:36] <pewpewpew> nelsonuwp: The problem is that vista overwrote ubuntus grub
[17:36] <TheDarkKiller> After being in Windows, I rebooted to my second partition with Ubuntu on it, and it had no sound!
[17:36] <WalloO> Stephen-Mason, do:  cd ..
[17:36] <christopher_> gracias a todos
[17:36] <TheDarkKiller> Since the installation, it had sound
[17:36] <RequinB5> christopher_:  Ud Use '/join #ubuntu-es'
[17:36] <TheDarkKiller> It mightve been the update I did
[17:36] <TheDarkKiller> It asked me to update
[17:36] <nelsonuwp> thanks guys
[17:36] <TheDarkKiller> So I did
[17:37] <TheDarkKiller> In XP, sound is working fine
[17:37] <TheDarkKiller> But not on Ubuntu

[17:38] <amitc> Hello, About Forecast 0.9.6 extension, Something on Ubuntu 7.10, Firefox <IP_ADDRESS> is breaking the tooltip customization, none of the options such as [t], [tmp][nl]Wind [windt], [winds], etc are available.
[17:38] <amitc> Any ideas?
[17:38] <nickrud> quaal: first thing I do is   alt-f2  killall nautilus
[17:39] <amitc> It works, if I install firefox directly from mozilla.com
[17:39] <quaal> nickrud, i already killed them all
[17:39] <quaal> dephora   3836  1.0  1.5<PHONE_NUMBER>6 ?        Sl   12:39   0:00 nautilus --sm-client-id 117f000001000120141573600000145440001 --screen 0
[17:39] <quaal> this one still persists
[17:39] <jw--> hi all. what's a good ipod program besides gtkpod?
[17:39] <TheDarkKiller> Try htop

[17:40] <Stephen-Mason> it says rerun this program as a super useR?
[17:40] <nickrud> quaal: sure is
[17:40] <amitc> jw, I use amarok
[17:40] <quaal> nickrud, this is windows shit
[17:40] <nickrud> quaal: no, no reboot
[17:41] <nickrud> quaal: although I agree it's a matter of degree
[17:41] <Stephen-Mason> how do i enable super user?
[17:41] <quaal> Stephen-Mason, google sudo
[17:41] <nickrud> Stephen-Mason:   use  sudo to get super user
[17:41] <RequinB5> !sudo
[17:41] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[17:41] <nickrud> !sudo | Stephen-Mason
[17:41] <ubotu> Stephen-Mason: please see above
[17:41] <WalloO> Stephen-Mason, sudo
[17:41] <DuClare> WorkingOnWise, Ah, I'm sorry then, blender is the only modelling application I'm familiar with it and I don't know google sketchup.  I could imagine there'd be a plugin for saving / exporting as dfx if it's popular enough, but honestly don't know.  I'm sorry.
[17:41] <Pi1> i installed time ago a program to autoset the drivers Nvidia...now something appen, i cant change drivers because program still manages it..i dont remember program name...how to solve? i0m in low graphig now and cant use computer...
[17:42] <WalloO> Stephen-Mason,    sudo bash for example, to run a root shell
[17:42] <jw--> amitc: thanks, i'll try that one
[17:42] <nickrud> WalloO: sudo -i is recommended rather than sudo bash
[17:43] <WalloO> nickrud, thank you, I didn't know.
[17:43] <Stephen-Mason> What is the directory that contains the init directories (rc0.d/ to rc6.d/)?  where are these files?
[17:43] <Starnestommy>  /etc?
[17:44] <Stephen-Mason> kk
[17:44] <nickrud> Stephen-Mason: those are the scripts that start up the subsystems that make up your operating environment, like networking, the display manger, automounting pluggable devices, etc.

[17:49] <AriesNoSion_Gold> hey guys
[17:49] <thiebaude> hi
[17:50] <AriesNoSion_Gold> I'm having trouble with 2 of my USB devices
[17:50] <lettuc3> phenom you mentioned the hosts file, how do i make linux update its cache and read from it again?
[17:50] <AriesNoSion_Gold> when I connect them and do "lsusb"
[17:50] <jengle> apt-get tells me that there are packages that packages "were automatically installed and are no longer required"... does this mean that there are no other packages that are dependent upon any of those listed?
[17:50] <AriesNoSion_Gold> it complains about a "device description read error"
[17:50] <AriesNoSion_Gold> any hints?
[17:50] <Stephen-Mason> god help me lol
[17:51] <nickrud> jengle: it means exactly that there are no packages depending on the ones listed
[17:51] <jengle> nickrud: is there a way to remove them all in one command?
[17:52] <lettuc3> how do i get linux to process the hosts file again?
[17:52] <nickrud> jengle:   sudo apt-get autoremove
[17:52] <phenom> lettuc3, /etc/rc.d/init.d/nscd restart /i believe will do the trick.
[17:53] <phenom> "/etc/rc.d/init.d/nscd restart"
[17:53] <luisbg> what's the ubuntu package to have gstreamer 0.10 oggdemux and mp3 support elements?

[17:53] <phenom> lettuc3, Reboot will for sure obviously.
[17:53] <nickrud> luisbg:  ubuntu-restricted-extras
[17:53] <Stephen-Mason> if i get vmware will i be able to run the windows xp i have on another partition?

[17:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dpkg nvidia - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[17:59] <Wanderer> anyone know the right package for putting the nvidia drivers on ubuntu 7.10?
[17:59] <RequinB5> tinman: system - administration - system moniter is what you need i think
[17:59] <eid> smultron , i want to keep my processes while i'm signing out of the PC , so i want to switch to another user from the terminal, i'm using a ssh to access the server ?
[17:59] <tinman> nickrud: okey, thanks you, but what I ment was i wanted to know about the process as in what exactly each one is doing
[17:59] <smultron> eid: you can use the "session" comman
[17:59] <Stephen-Mason> vmware player could not be installed on my computer
[17:59] <nickrud> tinman: you would have to look at the list, then investigate each process to understand what it does
[17:59] <DRebellion> erm, i just installed xubuntu-desktop with apt-get. i want to remove it but when i do sudo apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop, it only removes xubuntu-desktop and not the other 200MB worth of stuff that came with it !?
[18:00] <phenom> Stephen-Mason, Trust me,, go for "server". It is a lot more "mindless" to configure.
[18:00] <tinman> nickrud: ahh, okey, that was what i was about to do but thought there might be 1 place i could go to
[18:00] <tinman> thanks though :)
[18:00] <Aquahallic> folks... is there a MSN Messenger client I can use with ubuntu that will give me file xfer capabilities??
[18:00] <eid> smultron , session command is not found ?!!!
[18:01] <nickrud> tinman: nah, there's no single place describing what each process is about.  man <process> is a place to start
[18:01] <smultron> eid: sorry, that's the 'screen' comman
[18:01] <smultron> eid: info on how to use it here: http://debaday.debian.net/2007/02/14/screen-a-console-base-window-manager-on-steroids/
[18:01] <tinman> nickrud: sirsir 0/ :)
[18:01] <tinman> yessir*
[18:01] <phenom> Stephen-Mason, Especially if you intend on running multiple vm's which I know you will. :)
[18:02] <nickrud> tinman: and each package a process comes in ( dpkg - S /path/to/processname will tell you the package name)  has some docs, better or worse, at /usr/share/doc/<packagename>

[18:04] <rsk> maybe steam servers are slow?

[18:05] <phenom> lettuc3, It appears Ubuntu does not ship with the nscd daemon. :| In the lit I have read, you may have to install it. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-clearflush-dns-cache-in-ubuntu.html
[18:05] <DRebellion> nickrud: thanks
[18:05] <lettuc3> phenom it has to parse the hosts file somehow. something has to do that :(
[18:07] <bkar> DarK_MaN1-> what is the problem?
[18:07] <phenom> lettuc3, I would think :/ although, nscd is installed on Etch. I'm not quite sure if there is another way to be honest. But that is the recommended way to do it on Ubuntu and linux in general.
[18:07] <lettuc3> phenom if it aint running the cache, changes should be reflected live? does it even parse the file?
[18:08] <johnathon> y wont my amorak put music on my iPod?
[18:08] <DarK_MaN1> i want make internet sharing pc o wlanhotspot

[18:08] <DarK_MaN1> >:S
[18:08] <lettuc3> damn.
[18:08] <nickrud> lettuc3: try clearing your firefox cache
[18:08] <Apok>  Hot girl and sexy sixteen at http://www.aquabase.org/member/album/picture.php3?pic=89249
[18:08] <lettuc3> nickrud i don't use firefox, i use opera. but i get your point. lemme try that.
[18:08] <cyzie> is ubuntu has some online mirror like centos ?
[18:09] <nickrud> lettuc3: not saying that will work, but /etc/hosts seems to be processed immediately. I had a missing localhost ref once and when I added it it was recognized immediately
[18:09] <Apok>  http://www.aquabase.org/member/album/picture.php3?pic=89249
[18:09] <Apok>  http://www.aquabase.org/member/album/picture.php3?pic=89249
[18:09] <phenom> lettuc3, You may not have  to flush it "in theory". For hossts mods to take effect. I may be wrong.
[18:09] <Apok>  p
[18:09] <Apok>  http://www.aquabase.org/member/album/picture.php3?pic=89249
[18:09] <phenom> Lemme see
[18:09]  * Apok met une grooosse baffe à _dreams_ !
[18:09] <bkar> DarK_MaN1-> can please type the whole word so I can comprehend you? dont use shortcuts
[18:09] <lettuc3> phenom what you were saying was like i thought applicable for when the names are cached. that's what the service is for, so im assuming the changes have to be live, when it's not there.
[18:10] <johnathon> hello? why wont my amarok sync with my iPod?
[18:10] <lettuc3> but it does not seem like it's getting parsed.
[18:10] <lgolebio> Hi all, Is it possible to chcange CPU voltage in Ubuntu ?? I know how to change frequency but no idea how to change voltage...
[18:10] <lettuc3> i've got www.yahoo.com in hosts.deny, and its ip.
[18:10] <ZabZ> yeah
[18:10] <Stephen-Mason> i need some one to one help with installing vmware, it says theres a previous version there, and i dont know how to delete it if you have the time can you im me and help?
[18:11] <osotogari> just wondering could someone give me some help mounting my second hard drive?
[18:11] <javier_> vmware usually install an uninstaller
[18:11] <lettuc3> phenom from what i remember of debian sarge, editing hosts/hosts.deny used to be reflected immediately.
[18:11] <phenom> lettuc3, the changes are immediate..
[18:11] <Stephen-Mason> yer, but im a windows user just moved to linux so i dont know what im foing?
[18:12] <DRebellion> osotogari: just ask your question and i'm sure someone will help
[18:12] <phenom> I added a line "<IP_ADDRESS> www.google.com" , and my page pops up when I go to google. :)
[18:12] <bkar> Stephen-Mason-> look for a file called vmware-uninstall.pl
[18:12] <lettuc3> phenom how come i'm seeing none of it here?
[18:12] <MrObvious> lgolebio: How did you change frequency?
[18:12] <eid> i want to make an installable backup of Ubuntu partition ?
[18:12] <ikonia> lettuc3: are you running a web server on your machine listening on <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:13] <nickrud> !backup | eid (several methods shown here)
[18:13] <phenom> Try to add "<IP_ADDRESS> www.google.com" to hosts, and visit google.
[18:13] <ubotu> eid (several methods shown here): There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning
[18:13] <lettuc3> phenom still no luck. ikonia no web servers.
[18:13] <Stephen-Mason> cant find it?
[18:13] <ikonia> lettuc3: thats why it won't work
[18:13] <ikonia> lettuc3: if you want to do <IP_ADDRESS> you have to have a webserver running on localhost
[18:13] <mikebeecham> can anyone tell me where I can find the root folder of xchat-gnome?
[18:14] <cjones> why would opera just go way like poof its gon at randem times ?
[18:14] <ikonia> mikebeecham: what do you mean the root folder ?
[18:14] <lettuc3> ikonia if i don't have a webserver running, shouldn't the browser return with an error rather than point me to www.yahoo.com?
[18:14] <lgolebio> Mr0bvious: http://technowizah.com/2007/01/debian-how-to-cpu-frequency-management.html
[18:14] <ikonia> mikebeecham: the actual binary is in /usr/bin
[18:14] <ikonia> lettuc3: really, thats odd
[18:14] <osotogari> upon installing i mounted my second hard drive to /media, since then I have changed my fstab to mount the second HD to /mnt/data. However when I look in this directory I see the following directories cdrom, cdrom0, lost & found and data. Why is this? My second HD doesn't show up in the "Computer" tab in the Places menu. I'm pretty stumped here.
[18:14] <mikebeecham> ikonia: xchat has disappeared from my menu, despite still being installed (see, I'm using it!!!)  I was going to add it back into the menu manually
[18:14] <lettuc3> i've got <IP_ADDRESS> www.yahoo.com in hosts and got www.yahoo.com in hosts.deny.
[18:14] <bkar> Stephen-Mason-> I looked and vmware-uninstall.pl is linked to vmware-install.pl  effectively they are one and the same
[18:14] <MrObvious> lgolebio: Thanks.
[18:14] <lettuc3> and neither are getting parsed. because www.yahoo.com shows fine.
[18:14] <MrObvious> lgolebio: And It's an O not zero on the name.
[18:15] <lgolebio> sorry
[18:15] <lettuc3> clearing browser cache, quiting browser does not seem to help.
[18:15] <nickrud> osotogari: do you see your data at /mnt/data ?
[18:15] <Stephen-Mason> so whta does that mean?
[18:15] <silas428> !ubotu
[18:15] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[18:15] <cjones> why would opera just go way like poof its gon at randem times ?
[18:15] <bkar> Stephen-Mason-> same file with two different names
[18:15] <lettuc3> ok, now, for some reason, it's working as expected.
[18:15] <osotogari> @nickrud: The drive is empty I formatted it upon install
[18:15] <lettuc3> i haven't done anything new or changed anything.
[18:16] <nickrud> osotogari: you should see lost+found if you formatted it as ext3
[18:16] <Stephen-Mason> would it be in with the insilation files or will it be were the files were installed?
[18:16] <mikebeecham> ikonia: cheers mate...that worked
[18:16] <osotogari> @ nickrud: Yup, i formatted it as ext3
[18:16] <mikebeecham> next one will be to get my mic working in ubuntu ikonia, but I know thats a VERY steep hill to climb :D
[18:16] <bkar> !who | Stephen-Mason
[18:16] <ubotu> Stephen-Mason: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[18:16] <lettuc3> ok, so hosts now seems to work, but hosts.deny does not.
[18:16] <nickrud> osotogari: so, when you do  ls /mnt/data  do you see the lost+found directory?
[18:16] <Stephen-Mason> ok
[18:17] <ikonia> lettuc3: what do you have in hosts.deny
[18:17] <phenom> lettuc3, I tested it, and it will give a 503 error if no web server is installed.
[18:17] <osotogari> @ nickrud: Yes
[18:17] <lettuc3> ikonia i have www.yahoo.com and on another line <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:17] <ikonia> lettuc3: thats not how hosts.deny works
[18:17] <lettuc3> ikonia oh, sorry.
[18:17] <Stephen-Mason> bkr> would the uninstall file be with the files a used to install the program or with the files that the program installed?
[18:17] <ikonia> lettuc3: hosts.allow and hosts.deny are used by tcpd - which controls daemons
[18:18] <axelfr> Hi, anyone knows how i can access graphic drivers list thru command line in boot, pick one, and set it ?
[18:18] <lettuc3> phenom mine ended up working, but im not exactly sure why, all this time it wasn't.
[18:18] <nickrud> osotogari: then you are mounting the partition correctly. When you initially had it on /media/data you created the dir   /media/data so it still exists. And, nautilus only shows devices mounted in /media on the desktop
[18:18] <TheDarkKiller> Graaaargh
[18:18] <ikonia> axelfr:graphics drivers list ?
[18:18] <lettuc3> ikonia hmm... i had assumed it would just drop requests from hosts inside there. wrong, then.
[18:18] <TheDarkKiller> After I updated my 'software', sound is not working!
[18:18] <ikonia> lettuc3: thats for tcpd only
[18:18] <osotogari> @ nickrud: Ok, I now understand. What about the other folders I see, cdrom, cdrom0?
[18:19] <TheDarkKiller> Can someone help me here?
[18:19] <TheDarkKiller> Sound was working great before
[18:19] <ikonia> TheDarkKiller: you have to ask a question rather than just make noises like garrrrrr
[18:19] <phenom> lettuc3, I find it best to roll with the punches brother :P I wouldn't kill myself wondering why.
[18:19] <TheDarkKiller> Btw, the sound works on XP
[18:19] <axelfr> ikonia, yeah i change the driver for my graphic chipset (intel 945), but boot freezes i think the driver is set is wrong
[18:19] <TheDarkKiller> I know
[18:19] <nickrud> osotogari: cdrom0 is the place the cdrom gets mounted to; cdrom is a link to cdrom0 ls -l /media will show you that link
[18:19] <TheDarkKiller> It's just frustrating
[18:19] <Stephen-Mason> grrrrrrrrr :(
[18:19] <ikonia> axelfr: you can't access that at boot
[18:19] <lettuc3> phenom argh.
[18:20] <ikonia> TheDarkKiller: and ? the channel isn't frustrating so making random noises doesn't do anything to help you get help
[18:20] <axelfr> ikonia, can i reset it through the live cd ?
[18:20] <TheDarkKiller> I'm pretty aware of that, thank you.
[18:20] <shr1k3> @ferengi
[18:20] <ikonia> TheDarkKiller: if your aware of it - don't do it
[18:20] <ikonia> axelfr: you can boot "safe" or "recovery" mode from your grub boot lines and change it
[18:20] <osotogari> @nickrud: ok, but why is that link there in my /mnt/data directory?
[18:20] <TheDarkKiller> But really, I asked this question before. I got blindly ignored.
[18:21] <ikonia> TheDarkKiller: again - and ? why is that a reason to just make silly noises ?
[18:21] <TheDarkKiller> Well, it was pointless.
[18:21] <nickrud> osotogari: what link in /mnt/data ?  cdrom -> /media/cdrom0  ?
[18:21] <TheDarkKiller> But what am I supposed to do.
[18:21] <ikonia> TheDarkKiller: wait patiently
[18:21] <bkar> !patience  TheDarkKiller
[18:21] <axelfr> ikonia, ok right, whats the command i could use ?
[18:21] <ikonia> axelfr: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[18:22] <osotogari> @ nickrud: patrick@ubuntu:~$ ls /mnt/hd_2/
[18:22] <osotogari> cdrom  cdrom0  data  lost+found
[18:22] <axelfr> ikonia, ok thanks a lot
[18:22] <nickrud> TheDarkKiller: not ignored, just that sound is difficult to troubleshoot and no one here will take it on
[18:22] <TheDarkKiller> And look at the chat getting filled up (where my question gets lost in all the other questions)?
[18:22] <Stephen-Mason> im a total noob, can anyone tell me how to uninstall vmware because it wont allow me to install a new one untill i do so. please take into consideration that i an normaly a windows user and am unexperiaced with how linux works, i have no knowlage at all
[18:22] <nickrud> TheDarkKiller: *can* take it on, more accurately
[18:22] <ikonia> TheDarkKiller: thats right - yes
[18:22] <phenom> Stephen-Mason, Ok Synaptic package manager is your friend,
[18:22] <ikonia> nickrud: thats not true, people will trouble shoot, but some people are helping multiple people at once
[18:23] <Stephen-Mason> phenom, i didnt use synaptic package manager to install it?
[18:23] <nickrud> osotogari: if they are links, they probably got made at some time while it was mounted in media.  ls -l will tell you what they point at. Never seen that happen, though
[18:23] <phenom> Stephen-Mason, Until you become a bit more familiar using the terminal, then I'd suggest you to useit/live it/love it. Open Synaptic, and simply right click/uninstall.
[18:23] <johnathon> can any one tell me why my amarok is not syncing with my iPod
[18:24] <Stephen-Mason> it does have it in the list but it says that there are files from that instilation on my computer
[18:24] <nickrud> ikonia: you're welcome to sound, but it's generally true that most sound questions are quietly passed on :)
[18:24] <danand> Stephen-Mason - what did you use?
[18:24] <hermanthegerman> hi... does anybody know if it is possible to replace openoffice from ubuntu 6.06 AMD64 with an actual version?
[18:24] <phenom> Stephen-Mason, I'm not sure how you installed it, I assume either via apt-get/aptitude/or synaptic.
[18:24] <Debaser> !photorec
[18:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about photorec - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:24] <Stephen-Mason> phenom, command line
[18:24] <ikonia> nickrud: nah, always hit the factoid first as no-one ever does it, then progress to more useful debugging
[18:24] <TheDarkKiller> Well, all I can say is that the sound worked perfectly before (it still works fine under my second XP partition, though).
[18:25] <ikonia> TheDarkKiller: it's an intel card ?
[18:25] <phenom> Ok, I would still recommend you to uninstall it via synaptic.
[18:25] <Stephen-Mason> i cant find it in there?
[18:25] <lettuc3> how do i set up a webserver to listen to <IP_ADDRESS> only? :P
[18:25] <ikonia> lettuc3: httpd.conf - ServerName or Listen set it to localhost or <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:25] <osotogari> @nickrud: seems that cdrom -> cdrom0.... Hmmm how will I fix this..weird
[18:25] <danand> Stephen-Mason - agree with phenom - synaptics is just a gui for command line based apt-get
[18:25] <TheDarkKiller> Well, I doubt it us. Any command so I can look it up?
[18:25] <bkar> lettuc3-> which webserver? like netcat?
[18:26] <TheDarkKiller> *
[18:26] <TheDarkKiller> *is
[18:26] <ikonia> TheDarkKiller: what sound card is it ?
[18:26] <lettuc3> ikonia ok i'll look into it.
[18:26] <vboxer> anyone know of a java rdp-client (that can be run from a browser) that works with virtualbox vrdp? I've tried properjavardp and it sort of works but it has some graphical errors and I'm not sure it works as an applet, and I've tried HOBLink JWT but it gives an error when connecting. I'm running ubuntu server 7.10
[18:26] <danand> Stephen-Mason - use search tool in synaptic
[18:26] <TheDarkKiller> I'm not quite sure, how can I look it up?
[18:26] <TheDarkKiller> VIA 8235
[18:26] <ikonia> TheDarkKiller: what make of PC is it ?
[18:26] <phenom> Stephen-Mason, Yes, use search "vmware" or whatever you installed via comand line.
[18:26] <nickrud> lettuc3: add/modify the line  Listen <IP_ADDRESS>:80   to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
[18:26] <lettuc3> bkar well, the idea is, im getting some ad sites to resolve to <IP_ADDRESS> and i want a blank page to show up in my browser rather than the error message, which invovlves a timeout delat.
[18:26] <TheDarkKiller> (looking at the sound control)
[18:27] <TheDarkKiller> *volume
[18:27] <ikonia> TheDarkKiller: what make of PC is it ?
[18:27] <TheDarkKiller> MyCom
[18:27] <TheDarkKiller> Danish firm
[18:27] <lettuc3> ok.
[18:27] <DRebellion> lettuc3: or you could use adblockplus
[18:27] <ikonia> TheDarkKiller: can you please put the output of lspci in a pastebin please.
[18:27] <TheDarkKiller> So, I doubt you'll be able to look it up
[18:27] <TheDarkKiller> Yes
[18:27] <fiXXXerMet> I have a whole bunch of files named like '02_20-_20Till_20There_20Was_20You.mp3'  Is there a way that I can remove the '_20' from all of the files?
[18:27] <bkar> lettuc3-> ad sites? i didnt follow
[18:27] <Stephen-Mason> kk im gettin use to it, the way the files are confuse me at the moment
