[15:22] <LjL> al1_: try #winehq, as Wine-specific problems are usually pretty, well, specific. they might ask you to install the latest version of Wine (type /msg ubottu wine to find out how, it can be installed from a decent repository)
[15:22] <jamiejackson> when i shutdown these days, i have a bunch of cifs errors from network mounts, and during mounting, i get warnings. this style of mounting in fstab used to be error free. i think i need to modify it for newer kernels/hardy. could you tell me what the modern version of the following is?
 : logout is fine its only the reboot I don't know why, I will try it with a different user pls wait.
[15:22] <xomp> IdleOne, when you connect to the internet using AOL, you aren't connecting to the internet. You are connecting to AOL lol. I'm pretty sure this is why it is required to have the AOL software installed on windows systems :/

[15:24] <webfarmer> I type x and then I get this screen with the X as my cursor right. but when I try and start up ubuntu what happens before I even get to the login screen is it keeps looping back to the starting point. I can hear the login announcing audio play. - so that audio keeps looping as the login starts looping. I have no idea what to do - I've pressed control alt and f11 and tried to backup my xconfig / or move it as such but it still doesn't work
[15:24] <phdmybest> how could i test the speed of a tmpfs ramdisk? anybody could help?

[15:25] <Brucee> how do i run xchat on ubuntu hardy 8.04?
[15:26] <Brucee> never mind
[15:26] <webfarmer> sudo apt-get install xchat
[15:26] <jamix> sudo apt-get install xchat
[15:26] <xomp> IdleOne, ok, thanks, I'll give it the old college try :)
[15:26] <xomp> Brucee, Applications > Internet > XChat
[15:26] <bazhang> webfarmer, you on live cd now?
[15:27] <Brucee> i dont see it there thoe
[15:27] <webfarmer> bazhang no
[15:27] <webfarmer> I've had ubuntu running for 3 months already
[15:27] <xomp> Brucee, then you should have asked how to install XChat on ubuntu :P
[15:27] <bazhang> webfarmer, did you remove splash and quiet from kernel you are booting from?
[15:27] <webfarmer> Brucee sudo apt-cache search xchat
[15:27] <xomp> Brucee, in terminal "sudo apt-get install xchat" should install it for you, then just locate it in Applications > Internet > Xchat after
[15:27] <Brucee> altho i can run when i open it in alt+f2 then i type xchat , and it runs
[15:28] <webfarmer> how do I deactivate anything to do with compiz
[15:28] <Brucee> but i want a link where i can just click on it
[15:28] <Jason2gs`School> Hi guys =] I was hoping someone could help me get a webcam working. This page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCamerasLogitech Says that the Logitech QuickCam Chat works OOTB on Ubuntu 7.10. What exactly does that mean?
[15:28] <webfarmer> what?
[15:28] <webfarmer> bazhang what? how do I do that
[15:28] <bazhang> set effects to none webfarmer in appearances
[15:28] <Al1_> #WineHQ is empty :(
[15:28] <xomp> Brucee, right click on "Applications" then choose "Edit Menu"
[15:28] <LjL> is there any program specifically for scanning film, aside from VueScan? (i guess there is none in the repositories, but at this point, even tarball would be fine). possibly with remote SANE support...
[15:28] <Jason2gs`School> Now, I can open up the /dev/video0 stream in VLC, and it works, but the video picture is about the size of the tip of your thumb, and of very poor quality.
[15:28] <webfarmer> Brucee - use terminal and get used to it - it's far easier to work with - however why don't you just click on the little start icon and click add remove application - then search for xchat
[15:29] <LjL> Al1_: no, there's 175 people in there
 : the new user restarts fine
[15:29] <JohnMccayne> can't find my s-ata disk(samsung HD501LJ) while trying to install ubuntu 8.04, got jmicron on MSI P965 NEO-F, anyone got a solution? i get Revalidation failed (errno=-5) while it's loading too
[15:29] <Archon> would it be safe to set my hardy sources to intrepid in order to download tomcat6 (only available after intrepid)?
[15:29] <ikonia> Archon: no
[15:29] <webfarmer> bazhang - dude I don't know if you even bothered reading my message -but I CAN'T GET INTO MY DESKTOP EVEN!
[15:29] <xomp> Brucee, then click on "Internet" in the left-pane and click "New Item"
[15:29] <ikonia> Archon: that would be very bad
[15:29] <bazhang> webfarmer, when you boot you get the grub countdown right?
[15:30] <webfarmer> yea
[15:30] <bazhang> webfarmer, you need to esc and get into the grub menu, then hit 'e' to edit the kernel (parameter) you are booting
[15:30] <LjL> Archon: try requesting a backport instead
[15:30] <LjL> !backports  Archon
[15:30] <xomp> Brucee, in "Name" type "XChat" and in "Command" type "xchat" then hit "OK", close out and then look in your "Applications" > "Internet" > "Xchat" should be there
[15:30] <LjL> !backports > Archon    (Archon, see the private message from Ubotu)
[15:30] <webfarmer> grub menu?
[15:30] <bazhang> webfarmer, at the end of the list should be quiet and splash.
[15:30] <spiritssight> My flash drive is in read only mode how do I change this
[15:30] <webfarmer> I press escape and boot from recovery
[15:30] <webfarmer> I then go to root
[15:31] <LjL> spiritssight: sudo mount /mount/point -o remount,rw
[15:31] <bazhang> remove them, then boot off that kernel webfarmer and read what errors there are as it boots
[15:31] <jamix> ok?
 : the new user restarts fine
[15:32] <churnd> abe3k: ok so it's specific to your profile
[15:32] <webfarmer> bazhang... I reboot - press escape... boot from recovery...
[15:32] <webfarmer> get a blue, grey, red screen right
[15:32] <webfarmer> go to boot from root?
 : yes
[15:32] <bazhang> webfarmer, if you boot the regular kernel you can read the error messages then we will know what is up (ie not in recovery mode)
[15:33] <churnd> abe3k: how big of a deal would it be to reset your profile?
[15:33] <spiritssight> LjL: will this be like that now on or do I have to change it every time
[15:33] <abe3k> churnd: Big
[15:33] <abe3k> churnd : xD
[15:33] <LjL> spiritssight: will probably have to change it every time. i don't know why it's happening in the first place. but did it work, for a start?
[15:34] <spiritssight> LjL: yes it worked, I will know for sure in one sec
[15:34] <Adam434> Hello , i got new laptop "Gigabyte w566n" & i installed Ubuntu 8.04 hardy (64 bit) , it seems that Ubuntu not recognize my wireless card ?
[15:34] <churnd> abe3k: i'm afraid i don't know where exactly to look
[15:34] <abe3k> churnd: yeah me too :/
[15:34] <JohnMccayne> can't find my s-ata disk(samsung HD501LJ) while trying to install ubuntu 8.04, got jmicron on MSI P965 NEO-F, anyone got a solution? i get Revalidation failed (errno=-5) while it's loading too
[15:35] <jamiejackson> how do i add mounts to windows shares in fstab? things seemed to have changed between gutsy and hardy, and now the same fstab entries give errors

[15:35] <eaxexex> Hi :) I just upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04 from 7.04. But now I've got no wired or wireless internet :S It's an Acer TravelMate 4310.. Any help?
[15:35] <soundray> webfarmer: back.
[15:35] <churnd> abe3k: you know in your home directory, there's a bunch of hidden folders like .nautilus, .gtk*, .gnome, .gnome2, right?
[15:35] <soundray> webfarmer: have you got anywhere yet?
 : yes
[15:35] <iplaythisgame> webfarmer, take alook here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=681048
[15:35] <churnd> abe3k:  i know the setting is in one of those somewhere
 : settings for what ?
[15:36] <spiritssight> LjL: when I try to copy file it says its read-only
[15:36] <emica> quelqu'un en francais?
[15:36] <Ooble> 'Lo all.
[15:36] <LjL> !fr | emica
[15:36] <churnd> abe3k:  for how the restart button behaves
[15:36] <bazhang> emica, /join #ubuntu-fr
 : aha
[15:36] <LjL> spiritssight: did you mount it manually, or did you let Ubuntu mount it for you?
[15:36] <soundray> webfarmer: your problem is not compiz
[15:36] <emica> thanx mec
[15:36] <iplaythisgame> webfarmer, sorry wrong one  try here http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=3599

 thanks for the hint :)
[15:36] <webfarmer> soundray you back?
[15:37] <eaxexex> Hi :) I just upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04 from 7.04. But now I've got no wired or wireless internet :S It's an Acer TravelMate 4310.. Any help? The cable is plugged In but I haven't got an IP nor am I able to ping anything.. I can see it's connected though..
[15:37] <soundray> webfarmer: apparently
[15:37] <Ooble> Is there any way to find out what package a file/directory came from?
[15:37] <Archon> thanks LjL
[15:37] <lucax> where can i find some good wiki on what i need to start on boot and what dont have to, i want to accelerate boot times...
[15:37] <webfarmer> soundray nice
[15:37] <churnd> abe3k:  basically, the entire look and feel of your desktop environment is contained throughout those folders
[15:37] <soundray> Ooble: dpkg -S filename
[15:37] <bazhang> eaxexex, how many entries when you type ifconfig in terminal
[15:37] <Ooble> That was easy - thanks soundray.
[15:37] <eaxexex> bazhang: 5?
 cool
[15:37] <bazhang> eaxexex, is eth0 one of them
[15:38] <eaxexex> bazhang: Yes
 I'll do a text search for restart and reboot in those hidden folders
[15:38] <churnd> abe3k:  so my feeling is either a program specific to your session is hanging or there's a messed up setting
[15:38] <soundray> bazhang: what kernel option did you want webfarmer to try?
[15:38] <bazhang> eaxexex, directly to dsl modem or to a router
[15:38] <spiritssight> LjL: I let Ubuntu mount it
[15:38] <eaxexex> bazhang: Through a router
[15:38] <bastid_raZor> abe3k; possibly look around in gconf-editor
[15:38] <bazhang> soundray, thought he should remove quiet and splash
[15:38] <comicinker> lucax: how would a wiki know what someone needs or not?
[15:38] <LjL> spiritssight: can you copy files to it if you do it from root (i.e. "sudo cp ...")
 yeah forgot about that
[15:38] <churnd> bastid_raZor: that's a good idea
[15:39] <bazhang> eaxexex, what does sudo dhclient eth0 return (-->paste.ubuntu.com)
[15:39] <soundray> bazhang: I think it's a gdm problem...
[15:39] <bazhang> soundray, aha
[15:39] <soundray> webfarmer: could you just try a 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install gdm'
[15:39] <eaxexex> bazhang: I can't paste it :S But: sp,e errors about interface flags ..
 I'm getting things like restore restrain but no restart ><
[15:40] <lucax> comicinker: easy, telling what every thing do
[15:40] <churnd> abe3k: how are you searching?
[15:40] <eaxexex> bazhang: Just the "No such device" 5 times..
 ctrl+f
[15:40] <bazhang> eaxexex, please pastebin ifconfig out put to paste.ubuntu.com and give us the url
[15:40] <webfarmer> soundray why is did this mess out?
[15:41] <churnd> abe3k: try gconf-editor (run from terminal or "Run Command"
[15:41] <eaxexex> bazhang: It's gonna take about 5 minutes but okay, thanks :)
 I'm already in it
 I did the searching from there
[15:42] <soundray> webfarmer: pardon?
[15:42] <Hrvatski1> how can i convert FLAC to Mp3?
[15:42] <spiritssight> LjL: it says read-only file system when I try to copy using sudo cp ...
 I'll have to logout now sorry :(, but thanks for your interest :)
[15:43] <soundray> Hrvatski1: convert to .wav first, then encode with lame or any other encoder
[15:43] <LjL> Hrvatski1: well, i'd suggest you convert to Ogg Vorbis instead... but anyway, "flac -d input.flac - | your-mp3-or-vorbis-encoder"
[15:43] <LjL> soundray: no need to convert to .wav
[15:43] <soundray> Hrvatski1: LjL is right, sry
[15:43] <Hrvatski1> what encoder should i use?
[15:43] <soundray> Hrvatski1: lame
[15:44] <comicinker> lucax: I've uninstalled gdm, bluetooth stuff, and other things which were shown up in some logs. however, these actions can (will) destroy your working system and configs. Maybe you should look at your logs and read about every element which is loaded during the boot progress
[15:44] <Hrvatski1> can i get it in the package manager?
[15:44] <LjL> Hrvatski1: i'd use "oggenc" and save to Vorbis.
[15:44] <Hrvatski1> ok, can i get those in teh package manager?
[15:44] <LjL> Hrvatski1: yes, of course.
[15:44] <Ooble> OK, another question. possibly even simpler: is there any way to resolve all symlinks in a path so I get the real path?
[15:44] <soundray> Hrvatski1: again, LjL is right -- just make sure your target player understands ogg vorbis
[15:44] <LjL> !info lame > Hrvatski1
[15:44] <spiritssight> LjL: did you get my response
[15:45] <urthmover> Hrvatski is a badass....I will always love the track Gotham
[15:45] <webfarmer> soundray before I hit install was I supposed to stop the gnome engine
[15:45] <soundray> webfarmer: no
[15:45] <Hrvatski1> thanks guys
[15:45] <LjL> spiritssight: no, i had missed it, but i don't really know what the issue might be... stupid question perhaps, but if it's an SD card, perhaps it's actually physically *set* to read-only...?
[15:45] <webfarmer> I pressed X and it took me to a screen  that what black and white, and had a X as a cursor but that's all
[15:45] <DrBytes> Hi, I'm on my developement machine and I want to run the latest iberia relaease, can someone point me to the web/wiki uri explaining how to get there by apt-getting?
[15:46] <soundray> webfarmer: hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace on that.
[15:46] <soundray> webfarmer: then run the reinstall command I gave you above
[15:46] <webfarmer> okay I tried to do that install for gdm and I still get the same problem
[15:46] <spiritssight> LjL: its a flash drive (thumb drive), the system says when I do sudo cp.. its a read-only file system
[15:46] <psilo> hello ^^

[15:47] <DrBytes> no-one?

[15:47] <DrBytes> Is there a way to apt-get from 8.04 to the latest 8.10 relerase?
[15:47] <webfarmer> okay I press control alt and backspace and start typing, but it keeps reloading the login screen
[15:47] <kriel> I just recently installed (x)ubuntu on this laptop. It's relatively new (though it's a refurb) and has c2duo 1.86GHz; 3G RAM. However, programs are randomly hanging and music files can take as long as 10-20s to load. Any suggestions for where I might start troubleshooting?
[15:47] <webfarmer> so I pressed control alt and f1
[15:47] <webfarmer> and typed it in
[15:47] <webfarmer> it reboots the screen
[15:47] <webfarmer> but it keeps looping
[15:48] <LjL> !upgrade > DrBytes    (DrBytes, see the private message from Ubotu)
[15:48] <carandraug> DrBytes, you mean you want to update to Intrepid? "sudo aptitude-manager -d" I believe
[15:48] <LjL> !intrepid > DrBytes    (DrBytes, see the private message from Ubotu)
[15:48] <soundray> webfarmer: use my nick please. Run 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop' to stop it looping
[15:49] <soundray> webfarmer: have you done that?
[15:49] <DrBytes> cheers carandraug and LjL
[15:49] <webfarmer> soundray yea - but it just stop everything

[15:50] <webfarmer> soundray: now I'm back to square one
[15:50] <webfarmer> soundray yes I see the enter command
[15:50] <soundray> webfarmer: that's where you want to be. Now do a 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install gdm'
[15:50] <webfarmer> I did that
[15:50] <kriel> ... are the FloodBot's fighting for control of the channel?
[15:51] <soundray> webfarmer: okay
[15:51] <LjL> no, they aren't.
[15:51] <soundray> webfarmer: do a 'df -h' and see if any of your filesystems are full
[15:51] <webfarmer> invoke-rc.d:initscript gdm, action reload
[15:51] <soundray> webfarmer: no, you don't want to do that
[15:51] <webfarmer> invoke-rc.d:initscript gdm, action "reload
[15:51] <webfarmer> invoke-rc.d:initscript gdm, action "reload" failed
[15:51] <webfarmer> sorry

[15:52] <carandraug> Debolaz, tried rtorrent?
[15:53] <eaxexex> bazhang: Okay, gonna take a while to though :/
[15:53] <soundray> webfarmer: I said "see if any of your filesystems are full". Not "paste the results"
[15:53] <march> LjL wrong window
[15:53] <iandaletter> people, how can i save as much as possible from my evolution - how can i backup both messages and contacts?
[15:53] <webfarmer> yea but it being 80% is that a potential problem
[15:53] <soundray> webfarmer: no
[15:53] <webfarmer> soundray none of them are full then
[15:53] <Juje007> Where can I download a .ko file (for the kernel)
[15:54] <LjL> Juje007: downloding a kernel module from some random place seems suicidal.
[15:54] <webfarmer> soundray - thanks for helping me hey
[15:54] <LjL> Juje007: what do you want to achieve?
[15:54] <crushy> hi,  my ubuntu stopped working suddenly
[15:54] <soundray> webfarmer: I haven't helped you yet, but still trying
[15:54] <crushy> its stops on black screen saying not found not found 4-5 times
[15:54] <simNIX> Im seting up preseed automated instalation; when I auto instal a destop there's no prob - When I preseed a lamp server and boot using console-setup/layoutcode=en_US I get after install that whatever key I press I get a litle square not the key ...
[15:54] <Juje007> I want to install a network card and he need eg1032v3.ko at /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-server/kernel/drivers/net/
[15:54] <LjL> crushy: it doesn't say *what's* not found?
[15:55] <crushy> yes it does,
[15:55] <comicinker> iandaletter: I have a script for evolution back up. this also respects your gpg stuff
[15:55] <crushy> colors directory not found etc
[15:55] <simNIX> ... if I dont do console-setup/layoutcode=en_US but do the test for keyboeard layout it does work as expected
[15:55] <webfarmer> soundray :) no, you're definately helping... however this challenge is getting veeeery frustrating
[15:55] <crushy> and it doesnt go to gdm at all, is it possible to reinstall only desktop package, not the all, and is it possible just to repair the installation
[15:55] <simNIX> Is this a bug I need to report somewhere ?
[15:55] <LjL> Juje007: uhm, how do you know it needs that module? which card is it?
[15:56] <webfarmer> soundray so what do we do next... I'm obviously no help here.
[15:56] <Juje007> Linksys EG1032
[15:56] <comicinker> iandaletter: can you familiar to bash scripts?

[15:58] <eaxexex> bazhang: I took eth0?  I wrote: sudo dhclient eth0. That was the output..
[15:58] <crushy> @ juje type this at terminal ---> sudo apt-get install build-essential
[15:58] <bazhang> eaxexex, that was looking for wifi0

[15:59] <crushy> can u paste the comolete error ? not just the last line
[16:00] <webfarmer> soundray none of that makes sense
[16:00] <bazhang> eaxexex, well you may have mistyped; try again carefully this time
[16:00] <eaxexex> bazhang: Okay
[16:00] <SlipperyChicken> sup
[16:00] <eaxexex> bazhang: For some reason it says the exact same thing as last time :S

[16:00] <soundray> webfarmer: please put it on a pastebin. 'sudo apt-get install pastebinit ; cat '/var/log/gdm/:0.log' | pastebinit'
[16:00] <webfarmer> soundray the first line says (EE) open /dev/fb0: no such file or directory
[16:01] <iandaletter> thaks, comicinker.
[16:01] <bazhang> eaxexex, did you boot with the ethernet cable attached?
[16:01] <eaxexex> bazhang: No.. Trying that now
[16:01] <huitang> Is there anybody who know well compiz function? I had a problem.
[16:01] <soundray> webfarmer: if you run the above command and give me the URL that it issues, I can look at the whole log file.
[16:01] <rich_> how are UIF files played ??
[16:02] <rich_> anyone?

[16:03] <Juje007> Done crushy
[16:04] <crushy> check if it gives same error , try to install now
[16:04] <CVirus> How can I give a my normal sudo user the same access as root when it comes to network configuration .. I mean I want the user to be able run dhclient and ifconfig without the need of sudo
[16:04] <Juje007> It gives the same error :(
[16:05] <Jork> I love you guys
[16:05] <eaxexex> bazhang: I booted with the cable pluged.. It still says the thing about wifi0
[16:05] <LjL> CVirus: why? does typing "sudo" take up so much time?
[16:05] <crushy> can you tell me the model number of ur card?
[16:05] <CVirus> LjL, no, actually it's more complicated than that

[16:06] <bazhang> eaxexex, yes
[16:06] <crushy> and ur ubuntu version?
[16:06] <LjL> CVirus: no, aside from suggestions that are way too dangerous to give. if you say it's more complicated, can you explain better? perhaps there's a different solution from the specific question you asked

[16:08] <bazhang> eaxexex, no reason to give wifi0 if you are typing sudo dhclient eth0
[16:09] <eaxexex> bazhang: What do you mean?
[16:10] <webfarmer> hey soundray. I installed pastebinit... I then wrote "cat '/var/log/gdm/:0.log' | pastebin "
[16:10] <eaxexex> bazhang: I really can't explain why it says wifi0 :S
[16:10] <soundray> webfarmer: it should be "cat '/var/log/gdm/:0.log' | pastebinit "
[16:10] <bazhang> eaxexex, me neither
[16:10] <webfarmer> okay wait - I wrote pastebinit instead and it gave me http://pastebin.com/f7dc49007

[16:12] <liza0> hello
[16:12] <LjL> CVirus: well, i think you can do it by making your application *use* sudo, but also editing /etc/sudoers so that your user isn't asked for a password when using "sudo ipconfig" or "sudo dhclient"
[16:12] <liza0> can a service (a dademon)  be run  on start up in linux that consmes files from a nfs mount  or does the app require the user to login and the nfs mount be available ?
[16:12] <shingalated> Does anyone know how to disable CPU frequency scaling?
[16:12] <LjL> CVirus: the "NOPASSWD" tag should do that, refer to "man sudoers2
[16:12] <StFS> hello... is there a way for me to see from what repository a package came?
[16:13] <CVirus> LjL, but yet I'll have to use sudo ... right ?
[16:13] <LjL> StFS: apt-cache policy packagename
[16:13] <webfarmer> using svn yes StFS
[16:13] <webfarmer> commit a folder... then when you are in that folder you can run svn ls
[16:13] <LjL> CVirus: yes (well, the app you're writing will have to use it), but no password will be requested
[16:13] <CVirus> LjL, thanks
[16:14] <StFS> webfarmer: svn??? are you sure you're in the right channel?
[16:14] <soundray> webfarmer: it doesn't really explain the problem
[16:14] <StFS> webfarmer: oh... sorry... that probably wasn't related to your answer to me
[16:15] <webfarmer> yea probably - I don't know - tiz was a stupid answer
[16:16] <webfarmer> soundray? so got any ideas? or you over this?
[16:16] <CVirus> LjL, have you got any other suggestions that would allow the user to run the command without typing sudo ?
[16:16] <soundray> webfarmer: can you run a 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start ; sleep 10 ; cat /var/log/syslog | pastebinit'
[16:16] <soundray> webfarmer: actually, that'll be way too much
[16:17] <LjL> CVirus, no. but i don't understand what the problem is: the user *will not* have to *type* sudo, if you're writing an *application* that uses the ifconfig and dhclient commands
[16:17] <soundray> webfarmer: let's just try this instead:
[16:17] <soundray> webfarmer: 'tail -n 200 /var/log/syslog | pastebinit'
[16:18] <webfarmer> invoke-rc.d: syntax error: missing required parameter

[16:18] <StFS> LjL: hmm... "apt-cache policy libqtcore4" tells me the package version... but not the actual repository it came from (http://rafb.net/p/yHNdwa13.html)
[16:19] <perlmonkey> ive foolishly forgotten my username and password and need to do some maintenance on my server...is there a way to gain entry and reset them?
[16:19] <webfarmer> http://pastebin.com/f2c9fffbd
[16:19] <dark_> wassup!
[16:20] <perlmonkey> dark_ im locked out
[16:20] <StFS> LjL: What's bugging me is that I believe I've removed all the non-standard repositories from sources.list but this package (libqtcore4) is still under "installed packages" and not "obsolete and locally inserted"
[16:20] <LjL> StFS: no, you're right, it doesn't. i don't believe anything does, apt-cache just comes close, by giving you a list of repositories the package is found in (in this case, it isn't even telling you the repository, probably because the package isn't there anymore)

[16:20] <h00k> perlmonkey, do you have physical access?
[16:20] <LjL> StFS, all odds are that that package comes from the KDE4 PPA repository

[16:21] <LjL> perlmonkey: err no, this isn't what i wanted to give you...

[16:21] <[TiZ]> Hi. I'm trying to install a lower version of openjdk in synaptic, but it keeps trying to bump itself up to the current version. What do I do?
[16:21] <LjL> perlmonkey: reboot and boot into recovery mode, by selecting it from the GRUB menu
[16:21] <perlmonkey> LjL phew many thanks
[16:21] <LjL> StFS: i'm afraid you'll have to do them manually
[16:21] <StFS> LjL: ok... well I had that repo... but I've commented it out, updated and it's still in "installed" as opposed to "obsolete and locally installed"
[16:21] <LjL> StFS: well, it's not obsolete
[16:22] <dark_> Who was that guy asking about the libqt thingy?
[16:22] <LjL> dark_: stfs

[16:22] <dauab> #twisted
[16:22] <dark_> thanks.
[16:22] <dark_> stfs?
[16:22] <LjL> StFS: you can install a specific version of a package with sudo apt-get install packagename=version
[16:22] <StFS> LjL: ahhhh... a package goes to obsolete only if it's not found in any other repo

[16:23] <StFS> LjL: right... I'll try that but I'm just a little worried about dependency problems when going that way

[16:25] <dark_> KristanDK, can't you just set it manually?  What happens when you try it in the standard system-config-display thingy?  I think it will let you set it manually, yes?

[16:27] <Some_Person> indian_munnda: Do you have Ubuntu 32-bit or Ubuntu 64-bit?
[16:27] <dark_> be careful though, if it dosen't have the power, it can hang or fuck up your display.
[16:27] <LjL> Some_Person: using the 64bit version will result in some (mostly proprietary) software failing to work or being difficult to install

[16:33] <Some_Person> indian_munnda: A long time ago
[16:33] <Some_Person> indian_munnda: Before I started using free tools
[16:33] <webfarmer> dark_ do you know anything about gdm?
[16:33] <Some_Person> indian_munnda: Nero for Linux is a waste of money IMHO
[16:33] <dark_> gnome display manager?
[16:33] <perlmonkey> damn im locked out of my system
[16:34] <webfarmer> yea - it keeps restarting - I can't even get to my login screen.
[16:34] <indian_munnda> Some_Person: i m downloading a trail version right now, is it available free also in any repository?
[16:34] <dark_> Pretty much the X front end for gnome's working with the system.
[16:34] <comicinker> Some_Person: nero for linux is at least relyable
[16:34] <Some_Person> indian_munnda: Nero is commercial proprietary software.
[16:34] <joaopinto> indian_munnda, there are plenty of open source cd burning apps on the official repositories
[16:34] <Some_Person> indian_munnda: It is not available for free (except with the trial version)
[16:35] <PerfectExodus> What does "C compiler can not create executables" mean? (besides the obvious)
[16:35] <Some_Person> indian_munnda: GnomeBaker and that other thing that comes with Ubuntu are free and IMHO just as good
[16:35] <LjL> PerfectExodus: probably that you don't have the "build-essential" package installed
[16:35] <indian_munnda> joaopinto: i was just asking for the knowledge man.
[16:35] <perlmonkey> ive got a system which is running Ubuntu Feisty 7.04 and the MythTV packages, it's booting straight into MythTV..the problem is I have forgot my username and password and cannot login to X, when i start X (even in recovery mode) it automatically starts X using mythtv user... how to get back into the X desktop to reset my username/password?
[16:35] <joaopinto> PerfectExodus, it means the C compiler is not available :)
[16:35] <dark_> Basically, it starts the low-level ops required and then starts using GTK+, which is a library dealing directly with gnome applications.
[16:35] <dark_> Whadda ya wanna know?
[16:35] <webfarmer> _dark: it keeps restarting before I even hit the login point - it endlessly loops, playing the start login audio file - got any ideas how I can fix this?
[16:35] <PerfectExodus> LjL:  Ah... prolly should fix that....
[16:36] <indian_munnda> Some_Person: according to u which is the most user friendly one for burning files?

[16:36] <Some_Person> indian_munnda: they
[16:36] <Some_Person> indian_munnda: they're not really that much different
[16:37] <dark_> Sorry, repeat.  I just saw the message and thought it was from somebody else.

[16:38] <xnv> perlmonkey: Do you have a root account/password set up?
[16:38] <dark_> Apparently, there's a bug in your GDM config (I think)
[16:38] <comicinker> perlmonkey: you can log in a konsole by hitting ctrl alt f1, change back to X by ctrl alt f7
[16:38] <perlmonkey> xnv: im not sure
[16:38] <dark_> Here's what you gotta do.
[16:39] <perlmonkey> comicinker: thanks! I will give that a try

[16:40] <perlmonkey> comicinker: that doesnt solve the problem tho, i dont have a username/password to login
[16:40] <comicinker> perlmonkey: but if you have forgotten the username and password, the easiest way is to reinstall ubuntu.
[16:40] <dark_> Webfarmer, First, get a single user mode (root) shell.
[16:40] <perlmonkey> damn ok
[16:41] <AngelwingedDevil> !paste
[16:41] <perlmonkey> thats gonna be a real pain as this system has no cdrom drive
[16:41] <comicinker> perlmonkey: if you have chosen a unsecure password, you can try to recover it
[16:41] <indian_munnda> mohkohn: but its in kde i think. right?
[16:41] <atlef> perlmonkey: install from usb stick or drive
[16:41] <dark_> Normally, you go into grub and add "single" to the line starting with linux.
[16:41] <webfarmer> yea I'm there dark_
[16:41] <atlef> !install | perlmonkey:
[16:42] <perlmonkey> :-/
[16:42] <dark_> hold on...
[16:42] <webfarmer> grub?
[16:42] <webfarmer> I'm at the root of my machine
[16:42] <mohkohn> indian_munnda, yes it is a kde program and it will download a bunch of kde stuff to your hard drive.
[16:42] <indian_munnda> Some_Person: to which repository IMHO belongs ??
[16:42] <dark_> all right.
[16:42] <perlmonkey> silly of me not to write down the username and password somewhere safe
[16:42] <webfarmer> dark_ tell me what to do from a fresh restart
[16:42] <perlmonkey> i wrote it on a scrap of paper and its now lost
[16:43] <llisys> whats a good client for web/ftp/general server bouncing?
[16:43] <indian_munnda> mohkohn: but i don't want to install kde environment thatswhy i m just looking for the gnome programs.
[16:43] <dark_> Hold on, I gotta check on the steps with my shell.
[16:43] <atlef> indian_munnda: gnomebaker or brasero
[16:43] <perlmonkey> ok
[16:43] <comicinker> perlmonkey: anotherway could be the use of a live cd and john. http://openwall.com/john/doc/
[16:43] <mohkohn> but it works..in IMHO better than proprietary cdburning
[16:44] <mohkohn> I
[16:44] <comicinker> perlmonkey: but only if you know that the password was insecure
[16:44] <atlef> indian_munnda: oh, and k3b does not install that many dependecies
[16:44] <mohkohn> Is ta
[16:44] <AngelwingedDevil> http://paste.ubuntu.com/50530/
[16:44] <indian_munnda> atlef: but what is IMHO?
[16:44] <dark_> can you access internet with your present shell?
[16:44] <mohkohn> oops Is that because of disk space indian_munnda
[16:45] <atlef> indian_munnda: in my honest opinion
[16:45] <indian_munnda> mohkohn: yeah man exactly.
[16:45] <dark_> brb.
[16:45] <perlmonkey> i got root access!!!!!1
[16:45] <perlmonkey> woohooo
[16:45] <indian_munnda> atlef: oops, i was thinking its package name.  :)
[16:45] <AngelwingedDevil> can anyone help me please?
[16:45] <atlef> indian_munnda: :-)
[16:45] <NauarchLysander> I have a problem. I've just installed Fedora on an already existing Windows Vista/Ubuntu PC. As Fedora overwrites the existing Ubuntu GRUB it's no longer possible to load Ubuntu. I suppose I have to edit something in GRUB, but what exactly?
[16:46] <office_> #spip
[16:46] <perlmonkey> screw that
[16:46] <office_> join #spip-fr
[16:46] <perlmonkey> stop spamming
[16:46] <AngelwingedDevil> http://paste.ubuntu.com/50533/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/50530/
[16:46] <webfarmer> _dark yes I can
[16:46] <rebelThor> hey, can anyone tell me how do you use the "gfxboot" package ?
[16:46] <LjL> office_: /join #spip-fr
[16:46] <perlmonkey> thanks for your help guys, much appreciated!
[16:46] <mohkohn> cdrecord -v -eject speed=4 /dev/cdrom {nameofiso}.iso indian_munnda
[16:46] <FisHHeizer> this channel is a mess
[16:46] <FisHHeizer> really
[16:47] <indian_munnda> Some_Person: atlef: mohkohn: thanks for your kind suggestions
[16:47] <mohkohn> least diskspace
[16:47] <indian_munnda> mohkohn: i am installing brasero
[16:47] <webfarmer> WHAT IS GRUB
[16:47] <LjL> FisHHeizer: people saying random, unrelated things like "this channel is a mess" doesn't help keeping it tidy, either :)
[16:47] <LjL> webfarmer: the bootloader that loads your operating system when your computer powers on
[16:47] <NauarchLysander> webfarmer: it's the GRand Unified Bootloader
[16:47] <xnv> webfarmer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_GRUB
[16:47] <FisHHeizer> sorry
[16:47] <mohkohn> webfarmer, grand unified boot manager
[16:47] <NauarchLysander> I have a problem. I've just installed Fedora on an already existing Windows Vista/Ubuntu PC. As Fedora overwrites the existing Ubuntu GRUB it's no longer possible to load Ubuntu. I suppose I have to edit something in GRUB, but what exactly?
[16:48] <mohkohn> xnv's will be the best
[16:48] <atlef> !grub | NauarchLysander:
[16:48] <NauarchLysander> ubottu: well, I actually didn't really lose it. It was overwritten by the Fedora installation.
[16:49] <pihhan> NauarchLysander: you have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst in fedora, and add there boot entries for ubuntu also
[16:50] <llisys> whats a good server bouncing client?
[16:50] <RickZilla> Hi gang, on this page http://www.edubuntu.org/GettingStarted I see the line "Besides the standard software available on the Edubuntu CD, you will also find a world of software in the Edubuntu Universe, an on-line repository containing more than 10GB of community contributed software." But I don't see a link to it anywhere. Can somebody point me in the right direction?
[16:50] <LjL> llisys: a what?
[16:50] <pihhan> NauarchLysander: you might use chainloader +1 like windows use to execute original ubuntu autoupdated grub, if it is in its own partition
[16:50] <thiebaude> rickzilla:synaptic
[16:50] <xnv> RickZilla: A link to the "Edubuntu Universe"?
[16:51] <dark_> Try "init 3" then "startx"
[16:51] <RickZilla> xnv:  Yes
[16:51] <atlef> !synaptic | RickZilla:
[16:51] <dark_> webfarmer?
[16:51] <pihhan> RickZilla: Universe is repository of all programs available in ubuntu
[16:51] <thiebaude> rickzilla:all your software is available through synaptic
[16:51] <NauarchLysander> pihhan: i already thought of this. I tried to edit the lines for Ubuntu in GRUB when it starts. But once I figured out which where the right entries for kernel and initrd it still didn't work.
[16:51] <webfarmer> dark_ yea
[16:51] <xnv> RickZilla: System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager ... You may need to go to Settings > Repositories and enable the "universe"
[16:51] <llisys> LjL: vnc or whatever :)
[16:52] <dark_> did you get a Graphical interface?
[16:52] <RickZilla> xnv:  So all of that is already on the cd when I install ubuntu/edubuntu?
[16:52] <RickZilla> I just have to install it?
[16:52] <xnv> RickZilla: No.
[16:52] <RickZilla> Ok...so synaptic goes out and gets it for me
[16:52] <xnv> RickZilla: So I can make a comparison... Have you used Windows?
[16:52] <atlef> yes
[16:52] <webfarmer> dark_ I've got ubuntu 8.4 installed - with all it's default cactus on it - gnome is not working though
[16:52] <webfarmer> dark_ it was
[16:52] <NauarchLysander> is it possible that the fedora installation (perhaps the participating of my disk?) destroyed something in the Ubuntu partition?
[16:52] <RickZilla> Sorry...somewhat of an ubuntu newbie, so I should probably research a little more before I come in here asking questions like that :-)
[16:52] <mohkohn> I have drunk 10 Ankghor Beer <largebottle> while listening to Moterhead. Howcan I type?
[16:53] <mohkohn> goodnight
[16:53] <webfarmer> dark_ now it's not.... I have no idea what to do - and I've spent the entire day trying to get this to run
[16:53] <xnv> RickZilla: Synaptic is like an advanced Add/Remove Programs, but you just search for the programs you want, select which ones to install, and Synaptic downloads and installs them for you.
[16:53] <dark_> That might be the problem.
[16:53] <pihhan> NauarchLysander: you have to change root for loading ubuntu kernel, because you have propably different partition. You can partially fix this by having commong /boot partition with both ubuntu and fedora kernels, but you have to edit it manually anyway
[16:53] <RickZilla> xnv:  Thanks!  That information saves me a lot of headaches
[16:53] <thiebaude> rickzilla:most software you need is in synaptic
[16:53] <webfarmer> dark_ what? that I don't know what I'm doing?
[16:53] <dark_> Gnome probably dosen't exist anymore (for some reason) but gdm conf file refers to it, resulting in endless loop.
[16:54] <danbh_intrepid> RickZilla: try looking under your menus, there may be a link regarding Add/Remove Programs.   Thats a better place to start than synaptic
[16:54] <webfarmer> dark_ so what do I do - apt-get install gnome
[16:54] <NauarchLysander> pihhan: What do you mean with "change root"? I mean, my GRUB is written in the MBR of my disk. It should be possible to load all three OS from there.
[16:54] <pihhan> RickZilla: there is no web, where you can search available packages, because they are changed frequently, and number of packages is huge. You can visit http://packages.ubuntu.com for more info
[16:55] <thiebaude> rickzilla:there is also a site called getdeb that has some software in .deb form
[16:55] <danbh_intrepid> webfarmer: how did this breakage happen
[16:55] <pihhan> NauarchLysander: menu.lst has somewhere line "root (hd0,1)" or such. this does select partition where grub does work
[16:55] <dark_> probably, but I would recommend looking in /usr/bin and looking for any remnant-appearing file of Gnome, and that might prove that it once existed.
[16:55] <webfarmer> _dark I did that and FINALLY it gave me a responce that I think may help all of us
[16:55] <danbh_intrepid> thiebaude: RickZilla If you are new to this, dont use the getdeb website
[16:56] <dark_> go on...
[16:56] <webfarmer> _dark I typed in sudo apt-get install gnome
[16:56] <dark_> what happened?
[16:56] <RickZilla> Thanks, I'll learn my way around Synaptic first
[16:56] <eugman> I have a broken flash drive that I was hoping ubuntu would see see since windows could not. The light comes on when I plug it in but it the drive does't show up on ubutu. Is there any way to tell if ubuntu sees it at all?
[16:57] <dark_> webfarmer, did it work?
[16:57] <pihhan> NauarchLysander: it should be enough copy entries from ubuntu's menu.lst to end of fedora menu.lst. it has root clausule in it, which should work
[16:57] <thiebaude> danbh_intrepid:i didn't know anything was wrong with that site
[16:57] <webfarmer> no
[16:57] <dark_> what was this "response"?
[16:58] <NauarchLysander> pihhan: yes, that is part of the Ubuntu entry in GRUB. I expandized the entry by 'kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic' and 'initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-16-generic', but it still didn't work. I'm not sure if it would work if I would type this in the menu.lst
[16:58] <IntuitiveNipple> eugman: Try running this command and then plug the device in: sudo udevmonitor --environment
[16:59] <therproject> #asterisk
[16:59] <pulsewave> I setup a mail server, what ports do i need to open up on my firewall to receive email from the outside world?
[16:59] <webfarmer> dark_ okay when I hit apt-get install gnome - it told me this:
[16:59] <IntuitiveNipple> pulsewave: 25 TCP
[16:59] <dark_> go on...
[16:59] <greencookie> kind of offtopic, but if I want to sync my ipod shuffle, what program would be best? I tried rhythmbox but it crashes when I want to load songs onto it.
[17:00] <pulsewave> I have 25 open and emails aren't showing up...?
[17:00] <pihhan> NauarchLysander: you have to grab each complete entry from "title" to "initrd"
[17:00] <danbh_intrepid> thiebaude: well, he is completely new, with no idea what he is doing.  I think he should stick to the official repositories   (he didn't even know that those repos existed)   Since you cant just install any deb, you have to get one that works for your system, I figured he should stay away from that website.   Anyway...
[17:00] <webfarmer> Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of incoming
[17:00] <eugman> IntuitiveNipple: Ok. I did, I assume something should have show up it it was working?
[17:00] <IntuitiveNipple> pulsewave: Have you done a manual telnet connection test to it, from a system located outside your network
[17:01] <dark_> What version do you have?
[17:01] <webfarmer> Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed.
[17:01] <eugman> gah, sorry for typos
[17:01] <danbh_intrepid> webfarmer: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit
[17:01] <webfarmer> The following information may help to resolve the situation. _dark - then it gives me the gnome dependancy
[17:01] <IntuitiveNipple> eugman: You should see the events the kernel sends to userspace when the insertion occurs, yes
[17:01] <soundray> webfarmer: I told you not to paste stuff here
[17:01] <webfarmer> dark_ what version of what
[17:01] <IntuitiveNipple> eugman: Also, with the device plugged in, see if it is listed by lsub
[17:02] <webfarmer> I can't paste soundray - I typed all that
[17:02] <soundray> danbh_intrepid: he has pastebinit installed already
[17:02] <dark_> webfarmer: ubuntu.
[17:02] <NauarchLysander> pihhan: I wrote that in the Ubuntu entry. In the last post I forgot to mention that after the kernel... I put 'root=/dev/sda1' (this is the Ubuntu partition) in it. But, as I said, it did not work, what could be the reason?
[17:02] <webfarmer> and I tried to use pastebinit - but it gave me sand
[17:02] <soundray> webfarmer: well, use the pastebin instead
[17:02] <danbh_intrepid> soundray: ok, well, I just want to see his sources.list
[17:02] <webfarmer> 8.04 hardy heron
[17:03] <soundray> webfarmer: you've used pastebinit before, so if it didn't work now, you've been using it wrong
[17:03] <dark_> wait, i think that's what I got.
[17:03] <IntuitiveNipple> eugman: and also, run this command then re-insert the device and check to see what the kernel logs: tail -f /var/log/kern.log
[17:03] <eugman> IntuitiveNipple: it says bash: lsub: command not found.
[17:03] <IntuitiveNipple> eugman: lol... typo lsusb
[17:03] <webfarmer> soundray how do i pastebin the responce of an apt-get install responce
[17:04] <dark_> webfarmer, see if you can get the RPM itself and install.  (for gnome)
[17:04] <danbh_intrepid> RPM?
[17:04] <dark_> something may be wrong with your apt.
[17:04] <Scunizi> I just installed Ubuntu on a friends HP that has a Savage video card.. the drivers are installed but I don't think the install picked them up and are using them. How can I verify?
[17:04] <soundray> dark_: please, you're putting webfarmer on the wrong track with RPM stuff
[17:04] <bazhang> dark_, dont recommend rpm
[17:05] <aline> hi
[17:05] <dark_> soundray: does ubuntu not use rpm?
[17:05] <bazhang> dark_, no
[17:05] <danbh_intrepid> Scunizi: how about a 3d video game?/
[17:05] <dark_> oh, Sorry, don't.
[17:05] <aline> .____________.
[17:05] <soundray> webfarmer: don't apt-get install gnome, that makes no sense
[17:05] <Scunizi> danbh_intrepid: well. I"m stuck at 640x480 which typically means I'm in vesa
[17:05] <mmcji> howdee
[17:06] <danbh_intrepid> Scunizi: have you tried to change the resolution?
[17:06] <dark_> I'm just getting used to ubuntu, I normally use fedora.
[17:06] <eugman> IntuitiveNipple: ok, this is weird, lsusb just stalls with the broken thumb drive...
[17:06] <Scunizi> danbh_intrepid: no other resolutions are available
[17:06] <eugman> it works with a normal drive or with none
[17:06] <IntuitiveNipple> eugman: Sounds like the device is fubar
[17:06] <Scunizi> danbh_intrepid: also tried bumping the "effects" up to normal from none.. and it wouldn't do it.
[17:06] <danbh_intrepid> Scunizi: yeah, sounds like its not working...   but this is out of my knowledge
[17:07] <mmcji> updatedb is not indexing everything so if I do a locate *.iso, I am not finding files on a mounted hard drive I have
[17:07] <dark_> I'm actually under the impression usually that linux distros are all the same, guess not.
[17:07] <Scunizi> danbh_intrepid: k
[17:07] <jones-> Hi. My X server is segfaulting each time I get a beep (eg. bash autocompletion, firefox search). What's going on?
[17:07] <danbh_intrepid> Scunizi: yeah, that happens if it isnt working.  Did you use jockey to install the driver?
[17:07] <jones-> (Ubuntu 8.04)
[17:07] <soundray> danbh_intrepid: you think he might have mixed repositories?
[17:07] <Scunizi> danbh_intrepid: no.. the driver is part of the install.. on the live cd..
[17:07] <webfarmer> ok so no one has a clue on how to fix this issue
[17:07] <dark_> WAIT!  Webfarmer, maybe you can install yum with apt.  Then yum "should" do it for you.
[17:07] <huitang> why is  my 3D desktop  slower than before since I reinstall the xorg driver?
[17:07] <ReloadRepeat> hey there, I need help adding a swap disk to my ubuntu installation
[17:08] <soundray> webfarmer: don't be so impatient
[17:08] <danbh_intrepid> soundray: I dont know, but seeing the sources.list would tell me, in addition to what version of ubuntu he is running
[17:08] <jones-> like, if I open a terminal and type "ls <TAB><TAB>" I get a X segfault 100% of the times.
[17:08] <webfarmer> soundray: bud I've go so much to get done
[17:08] <dark_> soundray: do you think installing yum with apt will do it?
[17:08] <bazhang> dark_, no
[17:09] <soundray> webfarmer: as if annoying those who try to help will get more done
[17:09] <eugman> IntuitiveNipple: Yeah, looks like. It seems to see the device ad then gets a big read error or something. I'm going to assume it's definitely fubar
[17:09] <webfarmer> soundray: my apologies if I get a bit impatient - but I am on a deadline that is scaring the crap out of me
[17:09] <soundray> dark_: forget it. Yum on Ubuntu is a big nono
[17:09] <bazhang> webfarmer, lets see your sources.list
[17:09] <danbh_intrepid> soundray: I would have webfarmer do a tasksel install of ubuntu-desktop if his sources check out
[17:09] <dark_> soundray: why?
[17:09] <webfarmer> soundtray - if I annoy please forgive me. I really don't mean to come across offensive or demanding in any way
[17:09] <mmcji> webfarmer: what is the issue?
[17:09] <soundray> webfarmer: please do a 'cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit' and let us have the URL
[17:10] <bazhang> dark_, yum is for rpm based distros not ubuntu
[17:10] <soundray> dark_: it is designed around apt
[17:10] <soundray> !apt > dark_
[17:10] <bazhang> dark_, please dont suggest things if you have no idea
[17:10] <soundray> danbh_intrepid: is tasksel going to do anything other than apt-get install ubuntu-desktop?
[17:11] <jones-> I'm getting something similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnash/+bug/140554/comments/53
[17:11] <dark_> ubottu: so, if you use yum, which is mainly for redhat, it will screw up ubuntu?
[17:11] <webfarmer> mmcji: my gdm is not loading correctly and for some reason it keeps restarting - I get to my login window - for a split second, it plays the user indicator sound file and then restart again... so the effect is the endless loop of the login window trying to load up...
[17:12] <soundray> dark_: not necessarily, but it requires that you know what you are doing, which is something you cannot assume of people who ask for help in this channel.
[17:12] <mmcji> webfarmer: ok thanks
[17:12] <dark_> oohh.
[17:12] <danbh_intrepid> soundray: yes.  I believe the difference is that apt-get will only to check to make sure the top level dependencies are filled.  A tasksel will install the default dependencies
[17:12] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: From a virtual console have you tried creating a new user, and then logging in as that user to gdm? That would tell you if the problem is specific to the profile or system-wide
[17:13] <soundray> danbh_intrepid: he's done an otherwise successful gutsy-hardy upgrade, and apt-get -f install checks out okay...
[17:13] <soundray> webfarmer: where is that URL I asked you for?
[17:13] <linduxed> is it a big deal to have to go 64-bit gnu/linux?
[17:13] <dark_> soundray: so, I guess I've gotten out of touch with noobs?
[17:14] <atlef> linduxed: no, but you need to reinstall
[17:14] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple - so would I load up ubuntu, by pass that by pressing control alt f1 and then typing in an alternative user that I created before, using adduser?
[17:14] <mmcji> I run headless systems mostly and do not use gdm, so I will not be much help, BUT if you are under a deadline, then why not backup your data and just reload your os.  and Install + apt-get update +apt-get upgrade would prob take about 40 minutes total, This is just a suggestion.  I find that sometimes it is just faster to start fresh than to fix odd errors.
[17:14] <soundray> dark_: it's more that you're not in touch with Ubuntu
[17:15] <dark_> soundray: that too.
[17:15] <linduxed> atlef: i know that but i meant if the fact that its 64 bit is a prob....heard something about that
[17:15] <dasdajs> Hi, how do I unpack .tar.bz2? I tried bunzip2 the file and then tar xjf but that doesn't work? :S
[17:15] <snova> dasdajs: use 'tar xjf'
[17:15] <webfarmer> which url soundray - sorry I'm on mirc, it doesn't highlight when you call me so I tend to miss some of the lines you write to me
[17:15] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: Yes, user Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to VT1 (virtual terminal 1), log-in, do "sudo adduser <newuser>" and set the password. Then restart gnome "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" and try logging in as the new user
[17:15] <soundray> dasdajs: use tar xf on the .tar
[17:15] <snova> dasdajs: the 'j' part does bzip2 automatically for you
[17:15] <webfarmer> it's very FRUSTRING
[17:15] <atlef> linduxed: have been running it since hardy was released, and no big problems so far
[17:15] <soundray> dasdajs: or tar xjf on the .tar.bz2
[17:15] <dasdajs> snova thanks
[17:15] <MarquisDeSade> hello all...
[17:15] <soundray> webfarmer: please do a 'cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit' and let us have the URL
[17:16] <MarquisDeSade> need help pls...
[17:16] <snova> dasdajs: it also does .gz with 'z'
[17:16] <MarquisDeSade> anyone?
[17:16] <snova> MarquisDeSade: what's the problem?
[17:16] <soundray> IntuitiveNipple: that's not going to help if the login screen is never accessible
[17:16] <dark_> Gotta eat supper.  You guys would probably do better explaining than me anyway.  gutentag!
[17:16] <[T]ank> can anyone guide me to find out if my laptop has bluetooth? my admin tells me it does, but i dont see anything in any of the searches I have tried... is there a no questions asked way to look it up and know for sure? rather than me running a bunch of commands I think will show me, but dont.
[17:16] <webfarmer> mmcji - I can't just start over - there's all sorts of setups on this that would take 2 days to setup

[17:16] <soundray> IntuitiveNipple: have you seen the webfarmer's syslog? http://pastebin.com/f2c9fffbd
[17:17] <jim_p> MarquisDeSade: what gpu are you on?
[17:17] <linduxed> atlef: oh i c
[17:17] <MarquisDeSade> Intel 945GME
[17:17] <mmcji> ok
[17:17] <MarquisDeSade> HP530 laptop
[17:17] <snova> i have three kernels installed. is it safe to remove the older two?
[17:17] <jeroen-> does anyone know how to be able to connect to a kde remote desktop (krdc) with Ubuntu?
[17:17] <webfarmer> soundray. http://pastebin.com/f200a6b03
[17:17] <atlef> snova: if you do not have any problems with the new, then yes
[17:17] <jeroen-> it gives a password, but doesnt want to login with vinagre
[17:18] <jeroen-> krdc uses vnc right?
[17:18] <soundray> snova: yes, once you've verified that the latest one works. I keep one older one around, though, out of habit
[17:18] <snova> that's what somebody else suggested after upgrades left me with two.
[17:18] <MarquisDeSade> how do i enable direct rendering with mesa drivers?
[17:18] <jim_p> MarquisDeSade: do you have "intel" set as your driver inside xorg.conf?
[17:18] <soundray> webfarmer: go with danbh_intrepid's suggestion
[17:19] <snova> i guess it's not bothering me, but it makes it confusing when kernel modules come into play.
[17:19] <IntuitiveNipple> soundray: Oh, is that all? width=0 - what is happening to cause that is a theme icon or image is corrupted
[17:19] <vitanovus> i love ubuntu :)
[17:19] <danbh_intrepid> webfarmer: well, if you want to go with my suggestion, let me know, and I will give the exact command
[17:19] <MarquisDeSade> jim_p, no i just have "Configured video device"
[17:19] <soundray> IntuitiveNipple: ah
[17:19] <IntuitiveNipple> soundray: one thing I detest about gtk/gdk, the log messages very often don't tell us *which* file they have a problem with!
[17:20]  * IntuitiveNipple stamps
[17:20] <snova> MarquisDeSade: perhaps you should copy xorg.conf to the pastebin for us to take a better look
[17:20] <CalvinDK> Does anyone have a ubuntu driver to this Winfast USB TV - http://www.gruntville.com/reviews/misc/leadtek_winfast_tv_usb/page2.php
[17:20] <soundray> webfarmer: I take it back -- let's listen to IntuitiveNipple first
[17:20] <IntuitiveNipple> nnoooooooooo
[17:20]  * IntuitiveNipple runs and hides
[17:20] <MarquisDeSade> pastebin? what's that? sorry, first time here
[17:20] <IntuitiveNipple> I'll just poke me nose in if I see something I can contribute - you are welcome to it :)
[17:20] <xomp> !pastebin | MarquisDeSade
[17:21] <vitanovus> pastebin is an online copy and paste
[17:21] <webfarmer> danbh_intrepid: what command is this - what does it do - sorry I missed what you wrote
[17:21] <MarquisDeSade> oh, ql thnx guys...i'll do that in a sec :)
[17:21] <IntuitiveNipple> soundray: If the new user profile can log-in okay I'd suggest it is caused by a customised / faulty update to a theme
[17:21] <[Solars]> question about VM type application from windoes to use ubuntu... first of there is 'virtial install" right? but I also use it say if I have a second hdd and running windows on the first to access ubuntu on the second w
[17:21] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple; I don't even get to the login screen though
[17:22] <soundray> IntuitiveNipple: the problem, though, is that absolutely no-one can log in at present
[17:22] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: okay... that's progress! It means there's less to check to fix it!
[17:22] <soundray> webfarmer: can you run 'startx'?
[17:22] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: Did I read correctly that you've just done a dist-upgrade to hardy?
[17:22] <danbh_intrepid> webfarmer: Ill give the command once you are done with the other guy's suggestions
[17:22] <webfarmer> yea
[17:23] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: From gutsy?
[17:23] <MarquisDeSade> here you go, http://paste.ubuntu.com/50548/
[17:23] <soundray> danbh_intrepid: thanks for your patience :)
[17:23] <webfarmer> after a while it loads my desktop fine
[17:23] <webfarmer> AAAAAAAAAAHHH
[17:23] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: so you can log-in but it takes forever?
[17:24] <webfarmer> no not at all
[17:24] <snova> MarquisDeSade: it doesn't look like you have any driver specified
[17:24] <soundray> webfarmer: is that after startx? ( IntuitiveNipple)
[17:24] <webfarmer> it loads
[17:24] <snova> MarquisDeSade: i don't know how good x is at autodetection
[17:24] <MarquisDeSade> glxinfo? paste that?
[17:24] <IntuitiveNipple> haha... over to you soundray
[17:24] <webfarmer> I pressed control alt f1 and pressed control C
[17:24] <snova> MarquisDeSade: yeah, that might be handy
[17:24] <webfarmer> I then ran startx again
[17:24] <CalvinDK> Do anyone know where to find ubuntu drivers
[17:24] <MarquisDeSade> snova, just a sec
[17:24] <webfarmer> it tries to load the window
[17:24] <webfarmer> but then it just freezes
[17:25] <jim_p> CalvinDK: drivers for what?
[17:25] <soundray> webfarmer: keep  it on one line please
[17:25] <webfarmer> no preezes just does nothing

[17:26] <jim_p> CalvinDK: you have a pm
[17:26] <soundray> CalvinDK: find out the USB ID with lsusb and do a web search on it.
[17:26] <indian_munnda> atlef: i have downloaded isomaster-1.3.3.tar.bz2 but don't know how to install it, can you help me??
[17:26] <jim_p> indian_munnda: delete it, open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get install isomaster"
[17:26] <snova> MarquisDeSade: alright, you definitely aren't using any special drivers. this is just the generic mesa one
[17:27] <atlef> indian_munnda: sorry, all i know is you need to read the readme
[17:27] <CalvinDK> I have look but I can not finde an ubuntu driver
[17:27] <snova> MarquisDeSade: did you say you have an intel chip?
[17:27] <CalvinDK> ...lokked on the internet
[17:27] <MarquisDeSade> yes Intel 945GME
[17:27] <indian_munnda> atlef: ok thanks and jim_p u too.
[17:27] <soundray> webfarmer: I think the upgrade failed for some reason. If it was my system, I'd backup and reinstall.
[17:27] <soundray> CalvinDK: what's the USB ID?
[17:28] <RickZilla> For right now, anyway, it looks like there isn't a Linux version of Evernote http://www.evernote.com/
[17:28] <jim_p> CalvinDK: you have a pm from me! check your tabs
[17:28] <CalvinDK> I don konw the USB ID - how to finde that ?
[17:28] <soundray> jim_p: please keep it in the channel if you can
[17:28] <carsten1> hi... i recently switched to intrepid and now direct rendering stopped working. i have radeon 9600 and i'm using the radeon driver. glxinfo says "extension glx missing" and segfaults. logfile says (WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled and (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) can anybody help me? :)
[17:28] <soundray> CalvinDK: I told you how. Use lsusb
[17:28] <snova> MarquisDeSade: is that synonomous with 'i945'? because there's a video driver that says it supports that series
[17:28] <webfarmer> sorry soundray - very bad habbit - okay rebooted and then reran startx
[17:29] <soundray> !intrepid > carsten1
[17:29] <soundray> webfarmer: I think the upgrade failed for some reason. If it was my system, I'd backup and reinstall.
[17:29] <jim_p> soundray: i cant, there is too much to be done. from lsudb to the right module to installing it... long way
[17:29] <MarquisDeSade> snova, i had a diferent glxinfo before i instaled glx...
[17:29] <CalvinDK> Soundray: Sorry am newbie - how to use lsusb
[17:29] <soundray> jim_p: then see if #ubuntu-classroom is free and do it there
[17:29] <mmcji> webfarmer: yes i agree with soundray, i know it is a pain, but it might be less painful in the end
[17:30] <jim_p> CalvinDK: open a terminal and type lsusb
[17:30] <genii> CalvinDK: Open application called Terminal    and type it in there
[17:30] <soundray> CalvinDK: open a terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal) and enter lsusb
[17:30] <MarquisDeSade> snova, in that one, it exactly said the name of my gpu...i guess it is synonimous with 945i
[17:30] <snova> MarquisDeSade: i don't know anything about intel cards, and i have to go for a few minutes- somebody else will have to help (sorry)
[17:30] <jim_p> soundray: was that a joke??!?!
[17:30] <danbh_intrepid> webfarmer: we can try the tasksel command at this point (before you reinstall).  Its not that powerful, but its a good check.
[17:30] <CalvinDK> one moment
[17:30] <keystr0k> Have any of you used a Thinkpad T400 with Ubuntu? I may be purchasing one... thought I'd ask...
[17:30] <genii> jim_p: Heh :)
[17:30] <webfarmer> it loading up my desktop... wait for it... okay now it loads up the window of a message box... the top title had dissapeared now, the message has dissapeared and it loading up a explorer window closing it, opening it... does this three or so times and then... nothing - all I can see is my dekstop background image and my mouse cursor which moves...
[17:30] <soundray> jim_p: no
[17:30] <Henning_> hello
[17:30] <piero-la-lune> hello, I have a problem. I done : sudo echo "id:6:initdefault:">/etc/inittab and now impossible to start. So y removed the file inittab but now I can't connect me. Can you help me please? (I do not speak English very well)
[17:30] <snova> MarquisDeSade: ask how to specify the intel driver
[17:30] <webfarmer> soundray: and yes this is when I do startx
[17:30] <MarquisDeSade> ok snova, thnx anyway
[17:30] <Henning_> Is there a specific IRC channel for Macintosh/Boot Camp users?
[17:30] <jim_p> hi genii
[17:30] <IntuitiveNipple> soundray webfarmer I'm going to guess that the gdmgreeter splash image has not upgraded/configured correctly. Try "sudo apt-get --reinstall install gdm"
[17:31] <soundray> webfarmer: your upgrade failed
[17:31] <atlef> keystr0k: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[17:31] <soundray> IntuitiveNipple: tried that ( webfarmer)
[17:31] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple we've done that fifteen times
[17:31] <jim_p> soundray: i leave it to you.
[17:31] <keystr0k> atlef, thanks!
[17:31] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: Have you checked the free space on all disks using "df"
[17:31] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: okay, sorry
[17:31] <webfarmer> yes
[17:31] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: I wasn't following your progress earlier, so don't worry.
[17:32] <webfarmer> okay yea
[17:32] <soundray> jim_p: why? Your help is more than welcome. It's just in everybody's interest to keep it public.
[17:32] <atlef> keystr0k: you can also see here : http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/
[17:32] <snova> MarquisDeSade: i'm back, but i still don't know how to tell x to use the intel driver
[17:32] <Henning_> Can anyone point me into the direction of Boot Camp support?
[17:32] <IntuitiveNipple> right, so we've narrowed it down to about 3 files that can be fault... the ones gdmgreeter loads
[17:32] <IntuitiveNipple> give me a moment to figure out what they are from the source code
[17:32] <webfarmer> yea
[17:32] <Gnea> !pm | jim_p
[17:32] <soundray> Henning_: if you have a problem installing Ubuntu with Boot Camp, ask your question here.
[17:32] <MarquisDeSade> ok, snova, i found something on the net, you were helpfull :) http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/download.html
[17:33] <keystr0k> atlef: thanks again!
[17:33] <jim_p> soundray: i want to keep it public too. but what happens if the procesude is long? i cant distinguish his messages among others!
[17:33] <Henning_> Soundray: It's not so much a problem, I'm just wondering where to find general instructions, such as at what point I can just put the CD in and reboot
[17:33] <soundray> jim_p: that's why I suggest going to #ubuntu-classroom
[17:33] <Henning_> I've set up boot camp and created the partition, can I just reformat that into reiserFS with the LiveCD?
[17:34] <CalvinDK> I have run lsusb and the winfast usb tv is on the bus 6 device 7
[17:34] <soundray> Henning_: you can format it with the live CD, but it's best to use ext3 rather than reiser
[17:34] <jim_p> soundray: what difference does it make to change to some other channel?
[17:34] <snova> MarquisDeSade: you shouldn't have to download another driver. it's probably already installed, just not being activated.
[17:35] <jim_p> CalvinDK: paste here the entire line that shows where that device is
[17:35] <Henning_> soundray: I was told reiser was "the shiznit", is that true? ext3 is so... default :)
[17:35] <soundray> jim_p: go to #ubuntu-classroom and you will understand why
[17:35] <CalvinDK> ok monemt
[17:35] <MarquisDeSade> snova, you i guess you're right...i'll just google it, somethin' will turn up
[17:35] <jim_p> total silence in #ubuntu-classroom
[17:35] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: I'm reading the source-code now
[17:35] <soundray> Henning_: it's default for a reason.

[17:36] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple: My source code?
[17:36] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple: from where
[17:36] <soundray> CalvinDK: do not paste stuff here
[17:36] <soundray> !pastebin > CalvinDK
[17:36] <piero-la-lune> hello, I have a problem. I done : sudo echo "id:6:initdefault:">/etc/inittab. So I removed the file inittab but now I can't connect me. Can you help me please ?
[17:36] <Henning_> soundray: Okay, I'll use that then. So if I format the drive to ext3 and install Ubuntu, will it be available at startup as a boot option?
[17:36] <Zta> I'm trying to re-configure apache after I upgraded from 2.0 to 2.2.  My ServerName definition was removed from apache2.conf.  Where is it supposed to be defined?
[17:36] <snova> MarquisDeSade: i think you just change some particular field somewhere concerning drivers.
[17:36] <indian_munnda> can anyone tell me if there is any option for command $ mv which can avoid moving a particular file. Actually i want to move all files from a folder excluding 2 files.?????
[17:36] <bijoy> how do i mount my NTFS drive on startup...i have to goto places and mount it everytime
[17:36] <jim_p> CalvinDK: only that line that says about your adapter

[17:36] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple be back in 5
[17:36] <soundray> Henning_: if you've done everything right, then yes. Is it a Macbook?
[17:37] <bastid_raZor> bijoy; add it to your /etc/fstab
[17:37] <Henning_> Soundray: No, this one is one of the recent iMacs. I suppose they're at least partially similar?
[17:37] <bijoy> how../
[17:37] <bijoy> ?
[17:37] <snova> MarquisDeSade: we already know that, i think. x is using the generic software driver. the question that i can't answer is how to make it use a different one.
[17:38] <snova> MarquisDeSade: i'm almost certain it isn't a major change.
[17:38] <mmcji> anyone know how to include a mounted harddrive in locatedb?
[17:38] <MarquisDeSade> snova, i think it has some command like, xorg reconfigure or so...
[17:38] <bastid_raZor> bijoy; get the UUID of the drive with sudo blkid
[17:38] <soundray> Henning_: probably. I installed Ubuntu on a Mac Pro and found the Gentoo wiki very helpful for the Boot Camp aspects of that project.
[17:38] <CalvinDK> http://paste.ubuntu.com/50554/
[17:38] <danbh_intrepid> mmcji: find might be a better tool
[17:38] <snova> MarquisDeSade: i know that 'dexconf' is the program to reconfigure x. but it might not give great results.
[17:38] <mmcji> i like find, it just takes so much longer
[17:39] <Nece228> gta san andreas lags with wine, i disabled pixel shade but the problem didnt gone, my video card is radeon 9600 pro 256 im using fglrx. in windows everythinks fine
[17:39] <soundray> Henning_: point is, have a look for installation reports on the web and pick-and-mix
[17:39] <Henning_> Soundray: Great! I'll try installing right now. Thanks for your help!
[17:39] <jim_p> CalvinDK: is it that Leadtek thing i see first?
[17:39] <mmcji> i used find for years before i learned about locate...hmmm nm on the locate, good idea i will just use find...thanks
[17:39] <MarquisDeSade> snova, my results are allready ungreat my friend :)
[17:40] <ja1> Hi! Question: Whenever I sudo a command from the terminal and want it run as a separate process, say "sudo gvim textfile.txt &", the program doesnt start up properly. I get it in the processes list (ps ax), marked with a T. I suspect that the terminal is waiting for me to enter the password for sudo'ing. Now, how should I avoid that, except by removing the & ?
[17:40] <bijoy> wats the command to see partitions?
[17:40] <snova> MarquisDeSade: good point. at least fglrx comes with tools to reconfigure it automatically, but i don't know if there are similar utilities for intel chips.
[17:40] <bastid_raZor> bijoy; and at the bottom the list in your /etc/fstab add it something similiar to this :: UUID=11cb5055-6fbb-48f9-98dd-ef04dab51d1b /mountpoint     NTFS    errors=remount-ro   0   2
[17:40] <comicinker> ja1: gksu command
[17:40] <bastid_raZor> bijoy; sudo fdisk -l
[17:40] <MarquisDeSade> snova, i'll just give it a shot
[17:40] <comicinker> maybe
[17:41] <IntuitiveNipple> soundray webfarmer The failure occurs in gui/greeter/greeter_parser.c line 1108 where it follows "if (info->data.pixmap.files[i] != NULL)" and tries to load a pixmap... so we nave to figure out where/how greeter gets its list of image files to load... one of them will likely be the culprit
[17:41] <indian_munnda> can anyone tell me if there is any option for command $ mv which can avoid moving a particular file. Actually i want to move all files from a folder excluding 2 files.?????
[17:41] <ja1> comicinker: Ok, thanks.
[17:41] <Henning_> Be right back, I'm installing Ubuntu!

[17:43] <snova> comicinker: with the 'env' command
[17:43] <bastid_raZor> bijoy; sudo blkid will give it to you for /dev/sdb1 .. i forget what the command is to look at just one partition

[17:47] <Skyrail> For some reason when I have Firefox open (or a program using audio for that matter, e.g. Rythmbox) it locks other programs out of using the audio software (ALSA, OSS) for example when I have Firefox open and a run Sauerbraten I get no sound through the game, same with a test with Eve Online (when I use a system tests app through Eve it fails OSS and ALSA when Rythmbox/Firefox are open, however when the latter are closed they pass). I've no idea what to do :/

[17:50] <bastid_raZor> impulsebsd; tranmission is vastly different than uTorrent.. kTorrent resembles it a bit. in order to use kTorrent you'll have to snag about 80Meg of kde libraries
[17:50] <[Solars]> atlef thanks
[17:50] <snova> lirui0073: after you install it, run 'dpkg -L lzma | grep bin' and look for programs with 'un' in the name. that should do it.
[17:50] <atlef> [Solars]: kubuntu kde
[17:50] <Ahmuck> !mp3 player
[17:50] <obf213> hey does anyone kow why flash player is causing firefox to seg fault so much?
[17:51] <obf213> its really a nuisance
[17:51] <[Solars]> does ubuntu have tools for managing overclocked machines and monitoring heat and such
[17:51] <snova> obf213: try using a different player. i have no idea why, though.
[17:51] <snova> [Solars]: yes. i think the package might be called 'cpufrequtils' or something with 'freq' in the name.
[17:51] <obf213> snova, what do you use? I have tried unistalling firefox and flashplugin-nonfree many times
[17:52] <obf213> but it always seems to crash firefox a lot.
[17:52] <[Solars]> snova thanks
[17:52] <snova> obf213: reinstalling won't help much on ubuntu. i only just got a working internet connection, so i have no idea.
[17:52] <bastid_raZor> [Solars]; and hwmon will monitor temps.. you could use lm-sensors in conky .. ksensors xsensors.. many ways to monitor heat/temps
[17:52] <obf213> oh.
[17:52] <lirui0073> snova: thx
[17:52] <snova> obf213: you could always try a different browser, i guess.
[17:52] <sobersabre> hi is it complicated to install ARM toolchain for ubuntu 8.04 ?
[17:52] <tpg> flash player?
[17:53] <obf213> naw firefox has too many neccessary plugins
[17:53] <obf213> i think this a problem with flash and not firefox
[17:53] <tpg> i just installed it, with synaptic though, yesterday i did it on the flash player website but it crashed on youtube
[17:53] <sobersabre> are there ready to use .debs ?
[17:53] <tpg> now it works fine, with Sound unlike yesterday
[17:53] <jim_p> sobersabre: yes
[17:53] <[Solars]> bastid_raZor kewl beans... question is can you make it part of the "background/wallpaper" :) so i don't ahve to keep loading up apps to monitor
[17:53] <Ahmuck> what is the default mp3 player in *untu?
[17:53] <sobersabre> jim_p: yes what ?
[17:53] <jim_p> sobersabre: my mistake, i didnt see your previous question
[17:53] <[Solars]> suppose i could just use applets
[17:54] <carandraug> Ahmuck, I think it's rhytmbox
[17:54] <snova> sobersabre: i don't think so. at least, i can't see any. i'm not even 100% sure ubuntu runs on arm.
[17:54] <indian_munnda> can anyone tell me how to install *.bin files??
[17:54] <snova> sobersabre: if all else fails, you might have to build a cross-compiler yourself.
[17:54] <bastid_raZor> [Solars]; conky is perfect for that then. you can add it to the widget layer. i use conky with hwmon to do just that.
[17:55] <snova> indian_munnda: it's probably a shell script.
[17:55] <tyberion> hey
[17:55] <indian_munnda> atlef: can you tell me how to install .bin files
[17:55] <snova> indian_munnda: or a self-extracting archive.
[17:55] <tyberion> how can I search for binary files? .. e.g. where fluxbox binaries are located?
[17:55] <snova> indian_munnda: you probably just run it.
[17:55] <[Solars]> last question for awhile ... Does ubuntu adjust for the amount ram available or do you have to pass that infomation on?
[17:55] <atlef> indian_munnda: nope, sorry
[17:55] <snova> tyberion: binaries are located in /usr/bin
[17:55] <indian_munnda> snova: you mean i just need to do $ sh *.bin
[17:55] <bastid_raZor> tyberion; which filename   .. more than likely in /usr/bin/ or /usr/local/bin
[17:55] <[Solars]> bastid_raZor awsome deal, might bug you a bit more once i get my system installed :P
[17:55] <carandraug> tyberion, run "whereis binaty_name" in the terminal
[17:56] <snova> indian_munnda: don't do that, it might not be a shell script. just make sure that it's executable and run it.
[17:56] <bastid_raZor> [Solars]; sure, conky is fairly easy to work with once you figure out all that you want it to display
[17:56] <indian_munnda> snova: shall i do $ ./*.bin
[17:56] <snova> indian_munnda: that should do it.
[17:56] <indian_munnda> snova: ok doing that now
[17:57] <sobersabre> snova: I didn't want ubuntu to run on ARM, I want to be able to build ARM execs and libs on ubuntu machine.
[17:57] <bastid_raZor> [Solars]; i'm in and out all day long. #conky is very helpful too. they are a bit slow to answer but they have never failed to give me correct answers
[17:57] <sobersabre> is there a crosscompiling related channel on freenode ?
[17:57] <snova> sobersabre: you need a cross compiler. i don't see any packages for them, so you might end up building one.
[17:58] <[Solars]> bastid_raZor erm besides temps, thinking possbility disk space infomation used/avail, uptime, various stuff as long as it doens't take too much resources
[17:58] <jittopjose> hello friends
[17:58] <snova> sobersabre: just google it- i don't think gcc is really difficult to build like that, though it takes a long time.
[17:58] <jittopjose> my microphone is not working
[17:58] <bastid_raZor> [Solars]; all those are very simple and easy. i have all of those in my current conkyrc
[17:58] <sobersabre> I am more concerned about all the libs, stuff line libstdc++, etc.
[17:59] <Ghost21> I'm trying to install vmware but it keeps saying "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.3" is less then your compiled version of 4.3.1 ?
[17:59] <tpg> hello, anyone has any experience regarding Wine 1.0?
[17:59] <jittopjose> am using gigabite M60 mother board
[17:59] <jittopjose> plz help me
[17:59] <bastid_raZor> [Solars]; once you start getting into cpu graphs you tend to eat more resources
[17:59] <snova> sobersabre: some libraries are part of gcc and g++, but the c library is separate.
[17:59] <indian_munnda> snova: that is not working
[17:59] <snova> indian_munnda: what's the error message?
[17:59] <snova> sobersabre: some libraries are part of gcc and g++, but the c library is separate.
[18:00] <jittopjose> this microphone works perfectly in windows

[18:01] <bastid_raZor> [Solars]; it is best to do windows install first then ubuntu.
[18:01] <[Solars]> tried installing ubuntu first .. seems i messed soemthing up (i want it on last disk but without writing to boot partition)

[18:01] <snova> indian_munnda: what are you doing? i don't know how tar is getting mixed up in this. it's just a program- you run it and it installs itself, or it should.
[18:02] <jittopjose> any idea about mic problem in hardy
[18:02] <jittopjose> in gigabyte M60
[18:02] <babaklinux> how can I kill a process?
[18:02] <bastid_raZor> iso; you could just move the file once it is installed
[18:02] <snova> babaklinux: 'killall process-name'
[18:02] <jittopjose> plz help...
[18:02] <snova> babaklinux: or 'kill process-id'
[18:02] <Stopped> italian??
[18:02] <IntuitiveNipple> comicinker: Try export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8

[18:03] <snova> babaklinux: 'pidof process-name'
[18:03] <Skiessi> Stopped, #ubuntu-it
[18:03] <snova> babaklinux: but it's easier to use 'killall program-name'
[18:04] <mozzyb> Does anyone know why my emacs won't read the .pl file unless i byte-compile-load it?
[18:04] <iso> bastid_raZor: it drops an /etc/ folder in /local as well. just seems like there has to be a better way
[18:04] <snova> babaklinux: if it doesn't work, add -KILL to the arguments. processes can't ignore that no matter what.
[18:04] <indian_munnda> snova: did u saw that?
[18:04] <snova> indian_munnda: oh! i know! it's probably because of the space in the directory name. sometimes that screws things up.
[18:04] <[Solars]> bastid_raZor just installing windows has been a problem for me, have to slipstream drivers and the activiation key I had written down as back was copied incorrectly :/

[18:05] <lirui0073> snova: sorry i want to extract texlive
[18:05] <bastid_raZor> iso; there is, let me find the info you need.
[18:05] <tyberion> hmm, what package do I need to install for getting imlib2 stuff to get compiled?
[18:05] <lirui0073> snova: sorry i want to extract texlive.iso.lzma
[18:05] <bastid_raZor> [Solars]; best of luck with windows and WGA :\
[18:05] <ra21vi> I have a ubuntu server, which has direct Internet connextion. Other systems are under ISA, so i want my this ubuntu as proxy for another Ubuntu pcs, how is it possible? is there any proxy server which I can install, config
[18:05] <snova> lirui0073: how big is it?
[18:05] <indian_munnda> snova: it is a 7 mb bin file and directory is having 860 mb of free space.
[18:05] <[Solars]> bastid_raZor WGA?
[18:06] <snova> lirui0073: ok, just checking. because iso files are usually cd images.
[18:06] <lirui0073> i already install 7zip
[18:06] <snova> lirui0073: run 'unlzma texlive.iso.lzma' to decompress it
[18:06] <bastid_raZor> [Solars]; Windows Genuine Authentication
[18:06] <lirui0073> but dont work
[18:06] <snova> lirui0073: 7zip is not lzma
[18:06] <vito56> !list
[18:06] <[Solars]> bastid_raZor ahh that, yea no idea if I am going to get winxp64pro installed or not
[18:06] <snova> lirui0073: 7zip uses lzma as it's primary compression algorithm, but it's not the same.
[18:07] <snova> lirui0073: you need to install the 'lzma' package if it isn't already.
[18:07] <lirui0073> o
[18:07] <indian_munnda> snova: any ideas?
[18:07] <lirui0073> i try
[18:07] <soundray> IntuitiveNipple: no I don't -- was afk for a while
[18:08] <ra21vi> indian_munnda: aman?
[18:08] <snova> lirui0073: indian_munnda: sorry if i don't make sense, i'm getting confused by helping two people at once.
[18:08] <jareth_>  /exit
[18:08] <jareth_> exit
[18:08] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple ok back
[18:08] <snova> indian_munnda: i'm 99% certain the problem is that the directory you are running it in has a space in the name. move it to somewhere that doesn't, and try again from there.
[18:09] <webfarmer> u there
[18:09] <Skyrail> I want multiple applications to be able to output audio (say Rythmbox and a game) at the same time. At the moment only one works and the other doesn't. I've no idea what is using what, whether it be ALSA, OSS or Pulseaudio (wherever that comes into the equation) so any help would be appreciated (I've checked the sound troubleshooting page...and to be honest it's rather useless)
[18:09] <soundray> CalvinDK: how are you getting on?
[18:09] <snova> lirui0073: to decompress .lzma files, you need the 'lzma' package, which contains 'unlzma' inside of it, the decompression program.
[18:09] <icedwater> Speaking of which: why are all three in use, and do I need three of them?
[18:10] <Roconda> hi, I reinstallerd nautilus by synpatic and now isn't my left mouse button working very well

[18:11] <ra21vi> indian_munnda: good, whats the problem/
[18:11] <danbh_intrepid> Skyrail: try opening gstreamer-properties and switching to alsa
[18:11] <jim_p> Roconda: why reinstall nautilus? the mouse not working issue may be related to xorg?

[18:11] <danbh_intrepid> zigzags: I think the router has to allow it too...
[18:12] <MOzartstaedter> hi
[18:12] <zigzags> do you think maybe i connect to a certain port, and have the router forward that port to the internal IP
[18:12] <pavani> ./join #forit lahari

[18:13] <Skyrail> Thanks IntuitiveNipple and danbh_intrepid, I'll be sure to check it out :)
[18:13] <Roconda> snova: but howto reconfigure my mouse ?
[18:13] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: ignore that pastebin, I discovered more since I suggested that
[18:13] <snova> lirui0073: chances are, this is a cd image. you need to mount it as if it were a normal cd drive to access the files in it (after decompression)
[18:14] <snova> Roconda: i have no idea.
[18:14] <bastid_raZor> iso; i'm fairly sure you'll need to put this when you run the configure --libexecdir=/usr/bin/
[18:14] <snova> lirui0073: create a directory to mount it on, via 'mkdir texlive'
[18:14] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple okay. so whats my action list look like? what do I do :)
[18:14] <lirui0073> ok  it works
[18:14] <zigzags> IntuitiveNipple: ok thanks I willbe able to do it once I get home im pretty sure i can figure out the port forwarding stuff ive had to do somethin similar to get torrent programs and /ctcp to work
[18:14] <lirui0073> thx  snova
[18:14] <snova> lirui0073: then run 'sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 texlive.iso texlive' and you should be able to see the files in 'texlive'
[18:14] <ra21vi> indian_munnda: ok,  download the rpm version, sudo apt-get install alien and use alien to conver the rpm into deb, then using dpkg install the deb
[18:14] <TopBunny88> For som reason Rythmbox doesnt seem to work properly (I,E, I launch it and then it autommatically quits.
[18:15]  * [Solars] sighs
[18:15] <[Solars]> it takes too long to format 1TB
[18:15] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: From the source code of greeter, what is happening is that greeter reads an XML file that defines, amongst other things, the image filenames used in the greeter. It then tries to load those images into memory. The fault you're getting is caused because one of those files is somehow corrupted, and has a zero width. I *think* it is one of the files in the package human-theme
[18:15] <ra21vi> indian_munnda: else, if you try with sudo,  you will most probably get the mozilla recognized. also, try $ file ./filename.tar to know about the file. maybe it is dowbloaded corrupt
[18:16] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: So, have you tried sudo apt-get --reinstall human-theme
[18:16] <webfarmer> no
[18:16] <ra21vi> TopBunny88: ok, in terminal window, gnome-terminal, exec rythembox and hunt the error
[18:16] <indian_munnda> ra21vi: i have also dwnloaded another format which i unable to setup it is .tar.gz format

[18:18] <sysdoc> formode: did you set up the email account in evolution first? Then you can export the contacts to a file then import into evolution
[18:18] <ra21vi> indian_munnda: one more thing. I hope that  is not the problem though, the dir name is "Mozilla Downloads", just get the bin file in Desktop
[18:19] <MOzartstaedter> do i need any special version of ubuntu for an amd quad core??? a 64 bit version or something like that?
[18:19] <ra21vi> I mean to say in dir without spaces in filename

[18:19] <indian_munnda> ra21vi: i have deleted the file
[18:19] <snova> indian_munnda: i'm almost certain that it's the space. not all programs handle it correctly.
[18:19] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple nope
[18:19] <atlef> MOzartstaedter: you do not need 64, but if you have 4gb or more of ram i would suggest it
[18:19] <snova> do kde4 packages still install into /usr/lib/kde4? does anybody know?
[18:20] <ra21vi> TopBunny88: uhh, no just in shell, type rhythmbox
[18:20] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: ok... it was an easy test... let me check something else

[18:20] <MOzartstaedter> atlef: yes, its a new pc with 8gb ram ...
[18:20] <formode> topbunny88, You spelled Rthythmbox wrong. :)
[18:20] <atlef> MOzartstaedter: then get 64bit
[18:20] <snova> oh, never mind. packages.ubuntu.com can show file lists.
[18:20] <formode> topbunny88, So did it. :-P
[18:20] <MOzartstaedter> atlef: ook =)
[18:20] <MOzartstaedter> thx
[18:20] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: okay, we're going back to my pastebin request:
[18:21] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: please see this pastebin entry and repeat the command on the problem system, and compare the md5sum hashs - yours should be identical to these: http://pastebin.com/d716ec893
[18:21] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple ok so where do I get those files from?
[18:21] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: run the command on line 1 of the pastebin
[18:22] <Skyrail> IntuitiveNipple: many thanks, it works now :D thank you!
[18:22] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple what do I just copy and paste each line into the terminal? I don't know what you mean?
[18:22] <IntuitiveNipple> Skyrail: great!
[18:22] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: no, just the first line. The other lines are the results you should see.
[18:22] <ra21vi> indian_munnda: realplayer insataller is working fine on my Ubuntu, It installed without any problem. I think your download was corrupt
[18:22] <webfarmer> for file in $(ls -1 /usr/share/gdm/themes/happygnome-list/);?
[18:23] <indian_munnda> ra21vi: where i can get rpm packages
[18:23] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: The hash values generated by md5sum should be identical to those listed in the pastebin, so compare your results with those
[18:23] <indian_munnda> ra21vi: may be
[18:23] <atlef> !rpm | indian_munnda:
[18:23] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: ALL of line 1
[18:23] <ra21vi> indian_munnda: check it http://paste.ubuntu.com/50565/
[18:23] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple: sorry bud I don't know what you mean?
[18:24] <IntuitiveNipple> Copy all of line 1 in the pastebin and paste it into a terminal, and run it
[18:24] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple: so this line for file in $(ls -1 /usr/share/gdm/themes/happygnome-list/); do md5sum /usr/share/gdm/themes/happygnome-list/$file; done
[18:24] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: yes
[18:24] <indian_munnda> ra21vi: yup u were right
[18:25] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: The results you get on your system should be *identical* to what is in the pastebin - the hash-values are unique based on the contents of each file

[18:25] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: so if those files on your system differ from the files on mine, the hash-values will be different
[18:25] <emorris> hi, how do i disable the root account?
[18:26] <unop> webfarmer, it's not a good idea to use ls like that
[18:26] <indian_munnda> ra21vi: where to get a rpm package
[18:26] <TopBunny88> ra21vi:  Still no go even after removing an reinstall the package for rythm box
[18:26] <TopBunny88> rhythmbox
[18:26] <TopBunny88> rhythmbox
[18:26] <unop>  for file in /usr/share/gdm/themes/happygnome-list/*; do md5sum /usr/share/gdm/themes/happygnome-list/"$file"; done
[18:26] <unop> webfarmer, ^^
[18:27] <IntuitiveNipple> unop: It works, and gets the results we need.
[18:27] <snova> emorris: i think it's disabled by default.
[18:27] <indian_munnda> ra21vi: i have installed alien
[18:27] <emorris> snova: it is, but i enabled it
[18:27] <snova> emorris: the passwd command does it, i think.
[18:27] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple they are the same
[18:27] <unop> IntuitiveNipple, it's not safe - and isn't guaranteed to work 100% of the time.
[18:28] <snova> emorris: i did the same thing you did once, but have forgotten the details.
[18:28] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple different file names same hash
[18:28] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: okay, thats good in one way, but doesn't help us figure out which image is faulty!
[18:28] <IntuitiveNipple> different file names?
[18:28] <webfarmer> how do I output this result to pastebin
[18:28] <emorris> snova: you just do sudo passwd
[18:28] <Babbleback> how do i turn off the sound that plays after the usplash and just as the login screen appears
[18:28] <ra21vi> indian_munnda: alien -dv ./realplayerpackagename.rpm
[18:28] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: are you using pastebinit ?
[18:28] <unop> webfarmer, you can use pastebinit.
[18:29] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple I have it installed?
[18:29] <snova> emorris: i think it's an option. check the manpage, i guess.
[18:29] <emorris> snova: got it https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#root%20account
[18:29] <TalioGladius> anyone have a download link for intrepid ibex?  ISO links are bad here: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/alpha1
[18:29] <GeForce88> what is the abi codec for 8.04 ?
[18:29] <snova> emorris: i just found out too: passwd --lock
[18:30] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: I think you were using pastebinit earlier, weren't you?
[18:30] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple yea
[18:30] <TopBunny88> ra21vi: No matter how  hard or what ever I try i can't seem to get rythmbox to work
[18:30] <star-affinity> on a HPG300 laptop, if i have problems with waking from sleep mode, what can be done? i get to the dialog that prompts for password and the cureor is blinking, but i can
[18:30] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: In that case just add to the end of that command-line this:  | pastebinit
[18:30] <GeForce88> !avi | GeForce88
[18:31] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple I was, so would I put after done | pastebinit? or something- I've been using ubuntu for 2 months... I donno what all this is
[18:31] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: you got it :)
[18:31] <star-affinity> can't move the mouse or type anything (sorry, i pressed enter prematurely)
[18:31] <blinkiz_home> I need help configurating dynamic dns. I cant get it to work. Am following this guide and get stuck when testing with nsupdate. I get SERVFAIL every time. http://www.chrissearle.org/blog/technical/converting_existing_bind9_and_dhcpd_dynamic_dns
[18:31] <webfarmer> ok http://pastebin.com/f53955db5
[18:31] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: that 'pipes' the output of the commands via standard output (stdout) to pastebinit's standard input (stdin)
[18:31] <tpg> Could anyone help with a problem with Wine?
[18:32] <webfarmer> dude pastebin rocks
[18:32] <jordo2323> How do I find where a symbolic link points to?
[18:32] <madmartian> click on it?
[18:32] <outstanding> :P
[18:32] <madmartian> or ls -l
[18:32] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple ok so now you understand what it looks like
[18:32] <Alexia_Death> Hello. Im running intrepid and since the latest firefox update I no longer get sound from FF
[18:32] <atlef> tpg: have you tried in #wine?
[18:32] <tpg> no
[18:32] <comicinker> jordo2323: in the file properties or in the terminal by ls -l
[18:33] <Alexia_Death> Any suggestions?
[18:33] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: Those filenames are identical, and the hash values are good too
[18:33] <atlef> tpg: well, this is the ubuntu channel, but you can always ask
[18:33] <dragon33> greetings, can someone recommend a good ftp client?  something similar to cuteftp, and has a gui? thanks
[18:33] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: So, we need to figure out how to get gdmgreeter to give us a clue as to what image file it is that is giving it the problem
[18:33] <comicinker> Alexia_Death: no support for intrepid here
[18:33] <tpg> ok, i guess ill go to the #wine channel, thanks ;)
[18:33] <snova> dragon33: if you're using kde, konqueror can browse them as if they were local directories.
[18:33] <Alexia_Death> comicinker: where then?
[18:34] <bastid_raZor> !intrpid
[18:34] <bastid_raZor> !intrepid
[18:34] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple okay captain so what do I do?
[18:34] <Alexia_Death> thanks
[18:34] <indian_munnda> ra21vi: i did that wat you gave me but it just created a deb file
[18:34] <dragon33> snova, i'm using plain jane vanilla ubuntu.. hehe
[18:34] <snova> dragon33: oh well. search the package manager, i guess.
[18:35] <dragon33> ok, thx
[18:35] <indian_munnda> ra21vi: shall i do $ dpkg -i realplayer.deb ????
[18:35] <ra21vi> yup
[18:35] <ra21vi> indian_munnda: use Sudo
[18:35] <indian_munnda> ok
[18:35] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple why can't we just overwrite those files with a fresh copy?
[18:36] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: I'm leaning towards wanting to monitor the files the process opens. There are three ways to do that. The thing is, they'll generate a *lot* of output, more than pastebinit might handle. If the output is written to a file, can you copy that file from the problem system to the one you're on now, and then attach it to a post in ubuntu forums?
[18:36] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: Those files are fine; we have still got to locate  the problem file(s)
[18:37] <webfarmer> ok so tell me what to do in the terminal
[18:37] <webfarmer> does this kernel pickup the network?
[18:37] <IntuitiveNipple> is it on a wired or wireless connection?
[18:37] <webfarmer> can't I just output the file to a different machine all together?
[18:37] <TopBunny88>   Can i download a amd64bit kernel and custom coml;pileit?
[18:37] <webfarmer> wired
[18:37] <webfarmer> direct wire
[18:38] <IntuitiveNipple> okay, so you can log-in to it remotely (from another PC) ?
[18:38] <webfarmer> all the other machines are windows based - can't I just access them smb://?
[18:38] <webfarmer> something like that
[18:38] <indian_munnda> ra21vi: it has setted up realplayer but not running it on typing realplayer on the terminal and even there is no icon for it anywhere
[18:39] <snova> indian_munnda: are you installing it from a .deb package?
[18:39] <blinkiz_home> I need help configuring Dynamic DNS updates. Here is my named.conf.local: http://blinkiz.pastebin.com/d88a995e . I have restarted bind9 and now trying to make an update with nsupdate. But it don't work: http://blinkiz.pastebin.com/d25b7a2c6 . Anyone here know how bind9 works? Maybe help me? :)
[18:39] <Fazer2> how can I properly create a news user with separete folder in /home ?
[18:39] <Fazer2> new user
[18:40] <indian_munnda> snova: i have converted a rpm package into debian package using alien and then installed
[18:40] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple: all of the other computers are windows, is it still possible to access them through linus?
[18:40] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple: all of the other computers are windows, is it still possible to access them through linux?
[18:40] <snova> indian_munnda: run 'dpkg -L realplayer | grep bin', assuming the package was called 'realplayer'. if there was a number attached to the end, modify it appropriately.
[18:40] <simNIX> one paste would help ;)
[18:40] <snova> indian_munnda: that'll tell you where the binaries are.
[18:41] <jordo2323> If I want to remove a cron job from cron.daily do I just delete the file in the directory or is there something else that I have to do?
[18:41] <crushy> is there any way to forward port from host to guest pc
[18:41] <snova> Fazer2: either use a graphical user manager, or the 'passwd' command. i don't know exactly how either way, though.
[18:41] <indian_munnda> snova: ra21vi: see this is the message http://paste.ubuntu.com/50571/
[18:42] <babaklinux> snova: I want kill this error FD 9: fd_dvr DEMUX DEVICE: : Device or resource busy
[18:42] <simNIX> Fazer2, is useradd what you are looking for ?
[18:42] <snova> indian_munnda: allright. run 'dpkg -L realplayer | grep bin' to find out where it put the program.
[18:42] <Fazer2> snova: I created a user with gui, created a new folder "test" in /home, then I tried to log in and instantly I was logged off
[18:43] <crushy> how to forward port from pc to virtual machine in ubuntu
[18:43] <crushy> :(
[18:43] <indian_munnda> snova: its showing this path /opt/real/RealPlayer/realplay.bin
[18:43] <snova> Fazer2: i have no idea why, but somebody else will know more than me.
[18:43] <Fazer2> there was an error "your session was shorter than 100 seconds"
[18:43] <Fazer2> "10 seconds", not 100
[18:44] <snova> indian_munnda: ok, then that's where the program is. run it as that, /opt/real/RealPlayer/realplay.bin
[18:44] <Fazer2> simNIX: I used useradd earlier
[18:44] <indian_munnda> snova: its running
[18:44] <blue-frog> Fazer2: did you give the user a home folder?
[18:44] <simNIX> Fazer2, then pls elaberate what goes wrong
[18:44] <snova> indian_munnda: great! you might have to add shortcuts and things manually.
[18:44] <indian_munnda> snova: thanks
[18:45] <indian_munnda> snova: i'll do that
[18:45] <dergringo> Hi. is ther a gnome 2.24 repo for hardy?
[18:45] <crushy> anyway to forward port from host to guest pc :-/
[18:45] <snova> dergringo: search for gnome in the package manager, and look at the version numbers.
[18:45] <indian_munnda> snova: thank thank you very much and ra21vi you too
[18:45] <crushy> anybody? or no one want to help ?
[18:45] <Fazer2> blue-frog: I created a folder "test" in /home, do I have to do something more?
[18:45] <node357> !iptables | crushy
[18:45] <blue-frog> Fazer2: what is the name of your user?
[18:45] <simNIX> Fazer2, did you cat /etc/passwd|grep thatusersname to see if home is set correct and did you ls -l /home|grep thatuser to see if user owns the home dir
[18:46] <snova> Fazer2: i think useradd is supposed to create that folder automatically for you.
[18:46] <dergringo> snova, it's in the stable? cool.
[18:46] <node357> you need iptables crushy, but unfortunately I don't know how to use it
[18:46] <blue-frog> snova: no, you need to give -m for the home to be created
[18:47] <DM|> Anyone know a solution to long boot times (complains of ATA:1 and stuff )
[18:47] <atlef> Fazer2: have you tried to use the Users And Groups in the menu?
[18:47] <Fazer2> arkadiusz@arkadiusz-hardy:~ -> cat /etc/passwd|grep test
[18:47] <Fazer2> test:x:1001:1001:test,,,,:/home/test:/bin/sh
[18:47] <simNIX> Fazer2, also I wonder if you set a shell for that user - should be visible in the cat /etc/passwd
[18:47] <simNIX> /etc/passwd looks ok
[18:47] <simNIX> what did ls -l gave on the home dir ?
[18:48] <blue-frog> Fazer2: that leaves the owner of /home/test
[18:48] <Fazer2> arkadiusz@arkadiusz-hardy:~ -> ls -l /home|grep test
[18:48] <Fazer2> drwxr-xr-x  2 root      root      4096 2008-09-25 19:36 test
[18:48] <bytor4232> ive always edited /etc/passwd and changed sh to bash
[18:48] <snova> DM|: i think there are several tips around, try googling for them.
[18:48] <simNIX> do a chown test /home/test
[18:48] <simNIX> and retry login
[18:48] <Fazer2> ok
[18:48] <blue-frog> bytor4232: if you use GUI or adduser, it will be bash by defalt
[18:48] <simNIX> maybe also do a chmod 700 on the dir to close it down but it should work without
[18:49] <bytor4232> blue-frog:  that would explain it.  ive always used useradd
[18:49] <node357> gah, I had no idea that article on iptables was so confusing
[18:49] <blue-frog> bytor4232: then you need to tweak useradd to put bash by default
[18:50] <bastid_raZor> iso; i was wrong.. you need to do --prefix=/usr/bin on the configure
[18:50] <Scitz0> compiling a new kernel, what processor family should i choose for a phenom cpu?
[18:50] <crushy> any way to forward port from host to guest pc in ubuntu

[18:50] <crushy> hmm
[18:50] <bastid_raZor> iso; i found this info by doing ./configure --help | less
[18:50] <node357> maybe google for forwarding with iptables
[18:50] <crushy> its ok node:(
[18:51] <snova> DM|: what, ATA problems? i thought you were trying to speed up boot time.
[18:51] <snova> DM|: in the case of hd troubles, i have no clue what to do.
[18:51] <creeed> hello, I'm a newbie, I wanna upgrade from Gutsy to Hordy without changing device settings!

[18:55] <bastid_raZor> !usplash > Hydromethod
[18:55] <blue-frog> Fazer2: use the users and groups GUI and give your user the same rights
[18:55] <Hydromethod> thanks
