[03:40] <rancato> sorry
[03:40] <zigzags> the_lost_one: audacious is great!! its just like winamp, and not as crap as xmms
[03:40] <hitman1985> Digital7:  im tryin to have it easiely compatible to most pcs, because if i use linux i cant just give my friend a hdd of the hot swap cage and put it in his pc since the formats are totally different ?
[03:40] <jclbrt> nothing happens the_lost_one
[03:40] <the_lost_one> zigzags: no prob mate, and i used xmms in the past for years :)

[03:44] <jclbrt> yoodles we heard u
[03:44] <rooly|away> does anyone have any ideas to possible causes for an unstable system?
[03:44] <yoodles> ok
[03:44] <Zappp> ok ill do that
[03:44] <Orbixx> He was just doing the same thing in ##linux
[03:44] <interflop> The Ubuntu 8.10 beta doesn't seem to work with my bcm4318 card.  The driver manager says it's activated but I don't see any wireless networks.
[03:44] <yoodles> im waiting for someone to help. thanks
[03:44] <Orbixx> yoodles: Do not repeat yourself.
[03:45] <the_lost_one> rooly|away: what you understand for unstable system?
[03:45] <yoodles> ok
[03:45] <jclbrt> try going to the compiz fusion channel
[03:45] <yoodles> orbixx im just trying to find some help
[03:45] <Orbixx> This is the reason why you were banned from ##linux
[03:45] <yoodles> relax orbixx
[03:45] <Orbixx> I'm telling you for your own good.
[03:45] <jclbrt> or rather #compiz
[03:45] <yoodles> okay
[03:45] <Orbixx> If you wish to receive help, it is best not to get banned, yes?
[03:45] <yoodles> right
[03:45] <jclbrt> just chill out
[03:45] <rooly|away> the_lost_one: as in freezes and crashes often
[03:45] <yoodles> but after while no one heard me..so?
[03:45] <Don> i cannot get help either
[03:46] <rooly|away> it only started recently, however...within a week
[03:46] <interflop> The Ubuntu 8.10 beta doesn't seem to work with my bcm4318 card.  The driver manager says it's activated but I don't see any wireless networks.  Is there any known issue with the bcm43xx driver?
[03:46] <jclbrt> it's ok to post occassionally
[03:46] <rooly|away> i figure it may be a motherboard or memory problem, i just haven't had time to run a memtest yet
[03:46] <jclbrt> but one after the other is annoying
[03:46] <tickleme_eddie> hello
[03:46] <progekm> I have trouble hearing sound while playing .3g2 video files. VLC shows the video, but spits out this error in terminal:  main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `mp4a'
[03:46] <munchingfoo> hello tickleme_eddie
[03:46] <the_lost_one> rooly|away: you checked all hardware?
[03:46] <Digital7> hitman1985: still looking
[03:46] <rooly|away> the_lost_one: it's a laptop so...
[03:46] <yoodles> ok im just posting occasionally now..
[03:46] <tickleme_eddie> does anyone know someone with windows can talk with "konversation
[03:46] <yoodles> hey guys, i just installed ubuntu 8.04 and i am trying to customize my desktop through compiz fusion, and emerald manager. but when i try to change the effect in the desktop background, i get a message saying "desktop effect could not be enable". i do not know what to do for god's sake!! :(
[03:47] <Orbixx> Troll.
[03:47] <rooly|away> yoodles: what's your video card
[03:47] <Don> I had the simplest of ? here, but noone knows answer
[03:47] <interflop> yoodles: did you install your video driver?
[03:47] <Orbixx> Ignore him, he's trolling.
[03:47] <progekm> yoodles, do you have your drivers installed?
[03:47] <rooly|away> ahh, okay
[03:47] <yoodles> im running on dell 4300
[03:47] <yoodles> i have windows xp before
[03:47] <progekm> glxinfo | grep rendering
[03:47] <rooly|away> that's not a video card
[03:47] <After_Math> what is the super button?
[03:47] <yoodles> i know that know
[03:47] <Orbixx> After_Math: The windows key.
[03:47] <interflop> After_Math: your windows key
[03:47] <progekm> yoodles type glxinfo | grep rendering
[03:47] <yoodles> but i dunno the video card name
[03:47] <yoodles> ..
[03:47] <yoodles> ok
[03:48] <yoodles> wait
[03:48] <FloodBot2> yoodles: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:48] <progekm> what does it say?
[03:48] <After_Math> Orbixx, interflop thanks
[03:48] <the_lost_one> rooly|away: you tryed leaving the laptop with a livecd and see what happens?
[03:48] <Orbixx> After_Math: Confused me too, at first.
[03:48] <Zappp> jclbrt: if use gparted will my windows installation be ok?
[03:48] <rogan_> After_Math: its the windows jey
[03:48] <yoodles> it says
[03:48] <yoodles> direct rendering yes
[03:48] <progekm> ok
[03:48] <jclbrt> yes Zappp i
[03:48] <rooly|away> the_lost_one: nah. i hadn't considered the harddrive since i get no mount errors
[03:48] <hitman1985> Digital7: its all good, im still workin on the ts server, had to redo everything :(
[03:48] <ink-> hello, would anyone point me to a guide with COM port i/o under c++ with linux?
[03:49] <jclbrt> Zappp:  just select the partition and resize it... gparted does not delete information
[03:49] <jclbrt> unless u want it to
[03:49] <Orbixx> jclbrt: Resizing windows partition?
[03:49] <tickleme_eddie> can anyone one tell me where i can find "konversation" that will run on windows
[03:49] <interflop> The Ubuntu 8.10 beta doesn't seem to work with my bcm4318 card.  The driver manager says it's activated but I don't see any wireless networks.  Is there any known issue with the bcm43xx driver?  It worked fine in 8.04
[03:49] <tickleme_eddie> ?
[03:49] <yoodles> ?
[03:49] <jclbrt> Orbixx: any partition
[03:49] <yoodles> progekm?
[03:49] <nevermind> 7list
[03:49] <Orbixx> I had a bad experience with resizing an NTFS partition with gparted.
[03:49] <Digital7> hitman1985: i believe http://sourceforge.net/projects/backuppc/ /may/ be the one i was thinking of
[03:49] <Orbixx> Specifically, it crashed and my NTFS partition was shot.
[03:49] <Zappp> jclbrt: thats good too know because i lost my windows XP install disk long ago ._.
[03:50] <jclbrt> Orbixx: I've never had a problem
[03:50] <jclbrt> except once i lost my boot record
[03:50] <Orbixx> jclbrt: Could've just been me - I just assumed it must happen often.
[03:50] <jclbrt> but i was able to get that back
[03:50] <Orbixx> It was the first time I used gparted to resize anything.
[03:50] <the_lost_one> rooly|away: it happens at any time, or when the laptop stays some time running?
[03:50] <jclbrt> as long as he does not delete his partition he should be fine
[03:50] <Digital7> hitman1985: there's some tutorials out there as well, such as this one http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_backuppc
[03:51] <tickleme_eddie> Is it possible to run Konversation on Windows XP
[03:51] <Orbixx> jclbrt: I got my partition back too by recovering the raw data and using software to recognise the data and split them into files appropriately.
[03:51] <tickleme_eddie> ?
[03:51] <Aeonis> Anyone have "VirtualBox"?
[03:51] <Orbixx> A long, drawn out task...
[03:51] <Digital7> hitman1985: it supports both linux and windows, and supports far more than 5 PCs
[03:51] <Digital7> Aeonis: yes
[03:51] <jclbrt> Aeonis: I do
[03:51] <Orbixx> !anyone | Aeonis
[03:51] <Don> where can I get /etc/resolv.conf, so I can get kppp working in 8.04?
[03:51] <Orbixx> Don: kppp?
[03:51] <Eida> hi..how to merge /dev/sda7             4.9G  4.9G     0 100% /
[03:52] <Eida> no space left
[03:52] <Orbixx> Merge... With what?
[03:52] <l3d> here is a thought I was wondering if it would be possible to change the volume display icon thingy?
[03:52] <Orbixx> Eida: Find things to delete before you try messing with partitions.
[03:52] <hitman1985> Digital7: thank you very much, ill do my best reading up on it, and hit u back up mid next week probably ok ?
[03:52] <Aeonis> Okay.  For those of you with VirtualBox - I see that there are 2 editions.  Is it the "Open Source Edition" that is free?
[03:52] <Don> orbix, yes dialup in kde on ununtu 8.04
[03:52] <the_lost_one> l3d: haha
[03:52] <Zappp> downloading gparted...
[03:52] <Orbixx> Aeonis: Likely.
[03:52] <Eida> how to clean un used file in root?
[03:53] <Orbixx> Don: Why would resolv.conf have anything to do with dialup software?
[03:53] <Digital7> hitman1985: you'll have to catch me on MSN, i'm not often here
[03:53] <Orbixx> Eida: Depends on your partition structure.
[03:53] <Zappp> while i wait for gparted to down, jclbrt should i backup any peticular system files just in case you think?
[03:53] <Orbixx> Eida: Do you have just /home and / ?
[03:53] <Eida> i use ext3
[03:53] <Digital7> hitman1985: but i've never used it myself, just was something i had planned on doing
[03:53] <tickleme_eddie> digital7 do you know how to run konversation on windows xp
[03:53] <Don> orbixx, because that error i get when trying to dial
[03:53] <tritium> Orbixx: because it defines DNS servers, which would be provided by a dial-up ISP, for example.
[03:53] <Don> it telling me it missing
[03:54] <Digital7> tickleme_eddie: sorry, I don't -- but if it's possible -- someone here likely will
[03:54] <nevermind> !broadcom
[03:54] <Eida> nop...when i try to save any file..it said no space left..
[03:54] <hitman1985> Digital7: mymsn is<EMAIL_ADDRESS>:)
[03:54] <Aeonis> What's wrong with this line in installing the VirtualBox?  "sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose virtualbox-ose-modules-`uname -r`"  When I try to run it, it just goes to another line with a ">" and nothing else.
[03:54] <Orbixx> Ah right, it refuses to dial without any DNS servers specified.
[03:54] <tickleme_eddie> digital7 tks
[03:54] <hitman1985> lmk when u got some time
[03:54] <Orbixx> Eida: What partitions do you have? (Not filesystems)
[03:54] <the_lost_one> tickleme_eddie: there are some how-to to build kde on windows, but hey, that sounds enougth hard :-)
[03:54] <Eida> Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
[03:54] <Eida> tmpfs                1006M     0 1006M   0% /dev/shm
[03:54] <tritium> Orbixx: the DNS servers would be provided one the dialup connection is established, actually.
[03:55] <Orbixx> Aeonis: It's missing a closing quote.
[03:55] <Eida> Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
[03:55] <Eida> tmpfs                1006M     0 1006M   0% /dev/shm
[03:55] <Don> Dunno why you ask about dns servers
[03:55] <Orbixx> tritium: Odd, then. It seems strange that the program would require resolv.conf at all then.
[03:55] <Don> nothing to do with dial up on kppp
[03:55] <tickleme_eddie> digital7 cool ill take a look
[03:55] <hitman1985> Digital7:  hope that worked :) im not too sure how pidgin handels stuff
[03:55] <drandoss> Help, Thundar Mass removal "search and replace"  Any way too remove the ;;;;;;;  key?
[03:55] <Orbixx> Don: Resolv.conf has stuff to do with dns servers.
[03:55] <Aeonis> where orbixxx?  I see 'uname -r'  but didn't see another one.
[03:55] <jclbrt> Zappp No....
[03:56] <interflop> The Ubuntu 8.10 beta doesn't seem to work with my bcm4318 card.  The driver manager says it's activated but I don't see any wireless networks.  Is there any known issue with the bcm43xx driver?  It worked fine in 8.04.
[03:56] <jclbrt> do you have access to another computer Zappp
[03:56] <Aeonis> ahhh
[03:56] <jclbrt> that way i can talk you through gparted
[03:56] <progek> Has anyone ever gotten sound to play on .3g2 video files? They are videos taken from a phone
[03:56] <njdoyle_> is there a way to get rid of the default "ubuntu" user? Or specifically, how can I get the system to not log in to the 6 VTs automagically?
[03:56] <Aeonis> I did it again and it is working now...  Beginner here.
[03:56] <Don> orbixx, I use kppp on many distros, this 8.04 has /etc/resolv.conf missing
[03:56] <tickleme_eddie> i would really lik to know how i could run konversation on Windows XP
[03:56] <tickleme_eddie> ?
[03:56] <tickleme_eddie> ?
[03:56] <Orbixx> Aeonis: Best thing to do if you don't see it is to run "uname -r" and paste it to where it should be located in your line.
[03:56] <FloodBot2> tickleme_eddie: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:56] <Zappp> jclbrt: ya this one im on right now is anonther one comp and i got an external if any backing up is needed
[03:56] <Aeonis> !uname -r
[03:56] <Orbixx> tickleme_eddie: Try another question mark. Someone might answer.
[03:57] <Aeonis> !uname
[03:57] <the_lost_one> Don: if you miss that file, then just create it
[03:57] <Aeonis> Orbixx:  What is "!uname -r"?
[03:57] <Orbixx> I didn't say !uname -r
[03:57] <Don> the lost one, tried many times
[03:57] <Orbixx> I said uname -r
[03:57] <Orbixx> In your terminal.
[03:57] <Orbixx> Don: Just create /etc/resolv.conf then
[03:57] <Orbixx> It's format is as such:
[03:58] <Orbixx> nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:58] <Don> tried many times
[03:58] <Orbixx> nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:58] <tritium> !enter | Orbixx
[03:58] <Orbixx> And so forth.
[03:58] <the_lost_one> Don: and what happens? is there some aplication removing it all times or?
[03:58] <Don> the lost one it not there and I cannot create
[03:58] <Eida> Orbixx: look at this --> http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/51/spacedr2.th.png
[03:58] <[BMBU]> Anyone know how to get certified in ubuntu?
[03:59] <zigzags> don: 'gksu nautilus' to give you root abilities to be able to create files in that location
[03:59] <R_YoYo_R> [BMBU], www.ubuntu.com has links
[03:59] <drandoss> Trying too get rid of a ;1 after every file in a ISO...   Setup.exe;1   too many files too manualy change every file,,, there must be a way
[03:59] <[BMBU]> thx
[03:59] <progek> I have gstreamer* installed. Is there a way to get audio with 3g2 files?
[03:59] <the_lost_one> Don: what happens when you open a terminal and tipe sudo touch /etc/resolv.cof ?
[03:59] <Don> zigzags, kde
[03:59] <progek> I've tried mplayer and vlc
[04:00] <Don> the lost one, nothing
[04:00] <Eida> anyone?
[04:00] <nellery> drandoss: try doing it from terminal using *;1
[04:00] <the_lost_one> Don: thatś good
[04:00] <Orbixx> Eida: Do you have access to a GUI, or are you connecting through SSH?
[04:00] <Orbixx> I'm guessing you're using putty.
[04:01] <Eida> i'm using ssh only..this server to far from me
[04:01] <Orbixx> Eida: Use the "du" command to get total sizes of directories and to work out what you can delete.
[04:01] <dime> does anyone know why my onboard nic would suddenly drop every other hour or so?
[04:01] <Zappp> jclbrt you said i have to burn the gparted image (.iso) to a CD right?
[04:02] <Orbixx> Eida: For your information, the root partition (/) contains everything that isn't specified as a partition elsewhere, so try not accidentally deleting something that does not require to be deleted that is on a different partition to the root partition.
[04:02] <jclbrt> yea
[04:02] <Zappp> k just checkin
[04:02] <jclbrt> zappp: yes u do
[04:02] <jclbrt> in theory you can run it from linux, but i dnt ever do that
[04:02] <jclbrt> i dnt trust that feature
[04:02] <Orbixx> Eida: Does that help?
[04:02] <lu6cifer> how do I get four desktops in ubuntu 8.04?
[04:03] <Eida> Orbixx: how to check size using "du" command? i'm newbie only
[04:03] <dime> in v/l/m, it shows Link speed = undefined!, then Link speed = 100Mbps.
[04:03] <R_YoYo_R> lu6cifer, lower right hand corner
[04:03] <Orbixx> Eida: Try changing directory to root, and typing "du -h".
[04:03] <Aeonis> lu6cifer:  I've seen that before.  I'd like to do the same
[04:03] <lu6cifer> yea, but there's only two desktops
[04:03] <R_YoYo_R> lu6cifer, right click it
[04:04] <R_YoYo_R> lu6cifer, preferences
[04:04] <lu6cifer> I see
[04:04] <lu6cifer> thanks
[04:04] <the_lost_one> Don: so, you have now created a resolv.conf empty file, maybe you must add some dns servers, or maybe kppp should complete the work
[04:04] <nellery> !pm | drandoss
[04:04] <nellery> drandoss, using mv *;1 new_filename
[04:04] <Don> the lost one, I give up, sticking with Vista thanks
[04:05] <kuthux> hi, can i login via ssh using the username "apache" while the system is running the apache service ?
[04:05] <drandoss> sorry am new

[04:05] <drandoss> bash: 1: command not found
[04:05] <the_lost_one> Don: cool mate :-)
[04:05] <Aeonis> Is there a way to switch between the desktops in Ubuntu?  Like a hot key like "Alt + Tab"?
[04:05] <drandoss> so wait I have too do that a single file at a time?
[04:05] <izinucs> ctrl+alt+arrow keys
[04:05] <tritium> Aeonis: Ctrl-Alt-<arrow keys>
[04:06] <luckyone> I installed a lot of packages, some of those should let me display the temp of my proc on the panel
[04:06] <Aeonis> flippin a that is awesome tritium

[04:06] <TheZealot> hey folks, I am having a problem with ftp permissions using vsftpd. I want all the files I upload to have the permissions 755, and I have set the file_open_mode=0755 and local_umask=0755, but neither are functioning properly
[04:06] <TheZealot> any clues?
[04:07] <nellery> drandoss: looks like it.  However, using tab completion in a terminal will make the job a lot easier
[04:07] <Orbixx> TheZealot: Restarted the ftpd?
[04:07] <Zappp> jclbrt: im burning it to a CD now
[04:07] <TheZealot> Orbixx: yes, after every change I restar and reload
[04:07] <Orbixx> Heh, just checking ;)
[04:07] <Orbixx> Easy to forget.
[04:07] <TheZealot> np
[04:07] <drandoss> ah yea that doesnt help me, and how is your chat red too me nellery?
[04:08] <drandoss> this is unreal tournament every single file has a ;1
[04:08] <Orbixx> drandoss: Because he highlighted your nick.
[04:08] <Orbixx> Just like I did above.
[04:08] <Orbixx> When someone mentions your name, it colour codes it.
[04:08] <drandoss> orbixx oh thats awsome
[04:08] <Zappp> jclbrt ok its done burning
[04:08] <Rideh> i really wish ldap used an xml structure
[04:09] <aaronorosen> Hey some how i don't have any files in /boot is there anyway to restore my MBR now?
[04:09] <Orbixx> drandoss: That's why you see a lot of sentences in these places start with people's names. It's to get their attention and stop people from missing things - especially in a big room like this.
[04:09] <aaronorosen> with out reinstall ubuntu
[04:09] <Orbixx> aaronorosen: Reinstall your bootloader (probably grub)
[04:10] <aaronorosen> Orbixx: I can run the grub command when i chroot to that partition off of a live cd.
[04:11] <aaronorosen> Orbixx: when i run root (hd0,0) i get an error 21 saying selected disk does not exist
[04:11] <aaronorosen> Also i have no tab completion there.
[04:11] <nick__> two questions: how can i increase the number of virtual desktops i have (i deleted the switcher on my panel and adding a new one doens't work)
[04:11] <Orbixx> aaronorosen: Check which disks exist then - the contents of /dev/ will likely be different on a livecd.
[04:11] <nick__> and my system under the new kernel is bricked upon instillation of a wireless card driver
[04:11] <izinucs> aaronorosen, is it a sata drive?
[04:11]  * Zappp pokes jclbrt
[04:12] <nick__> how can i get rid of the new kernel or fix it?
[04:12] <aaronorosen> yes it is sata
[04:12] <izinucs> nick__, boot to the old one.
[04:12] <deathcat> join #228
[04:12] <izinucs> aaronorosen, just guessing but if it is plugged into the secondary port for sata the system might read it as hd1,0
[04:12] <jclbrt> yea wats up Zappp sorry
[04:13] <jclbrt> i have 9 ppl asking for help
[04:13] <woli> want to have 10?
[04:13] <woli> i have a script at init.d that won't run at startup
[04:13] <Zappp> jclbrt oh ya do? and i got gparted burned to a CD so whats next?
[04:13] <nick__> sorry about that
[04:14] <jclbrt> Zappp boot from it
[04:14] <aaronorosen> before i chroot how can i mount my /devs because from the chroot isn't seeing those
[04:14] <Zappp> jclbrt from the gparted disk?
[04:15] <kuthux> sorry, repost. can i login via ssh using the username "apache" while the system is running the apache service ?
[04:15] <the_lost_one> aaronorosen: mount -o bind maybe ?
[04:15] <aaronorosen> the_lost_one: where do i want to mount it thouhg.
[04:15] <drandoss> Omg I think im going too have too write something in python too get ;1 off all these files
[04:15] <aaronorosen> I have the partition mounted to /test
[04:16] <the_lost_one> aaronorosen: then you must create /dev
[04:16] <aaronorosen> and i can run chroot /test and i have all my files but for some reason /dev isn't completely coming along.
[04:16] <aaronorosen> so create a /dev/ in /test?
[04:16] <the_lost_one> /test/dev
[04:16] <After_Math> what would stop an Emerald theme from taking affect?
[04:16] <woli> i have a bash at init.d but it won't execute. Could somebody please help me?
[04:16] <After_Math> I loaded a theme, and clicked on it, but no change
[04:16] <woli> bash script
[04:16] <Zappp> jclbrt ok i got gparted booted up, next step?
[04:17] <After_Math> woli, is the srcipt executable
[04:17] <the_lost_one> aaronorosen: and maybe proc too
[04:17] <woli> yes...
[04:17] <woli> i can run it via sudo
[04:17] <aaronorosen> the_lost_one: i'm sorry i'm  little confussed here.
[04:17] <After_Math> woli, then how do you know its not
[04:17] <aaronorosen> so i have a dir /test and then /test/dev
[04:18] <woli> because i have a tablet that requires that script to run.
[04:18] <After_Math> what does the script do
[04:18] <woli> but since a couple of days the tablet stoped working. and i have to manually run it for it to work
[04:18] <woli> it activates the drivers
[04:18] <woli> i have not changed the script
[04:18] <After_Math> woli, you have to uodate-rc
[04:18] <jclbrt> Zappp: go to gparted website
[04:18] <After_Math> update-rc
[04:19] <jclbrt> i dnt have gparted started up right now
[04:19] <jclbrt> i am on IRC
[04:19] <Zappp> k
[04:19] <woli> command not found
[04:19] <After_Math> woli, have to update-rc with some commands for that file
[04:19] <After_Math> woli, one sec
[04:19] <woli> there is update-rc.d though
[04:19] <sleepyh> hi, i was wondering if someone could give me a example of a useful applicaiton they would like but do not have.
[04:19] <B1BLancer1> Hi folks.  I'm very new to Ubuntu.    Ubuntu has asked me a couple of times to enter my default keyring password.  I have no idea what it would be.  Help?
[04:20] <sleepyh> which can be put into simple words
[04:20] <izinucs> B1BLancer1, not sure but have you tried your normal password?
[04:20] <R_YoYo_R> B1BLancer1, its the same password you use to log in
[04:20] <woli> open System > Preferences > Encryption and keyrings
[04:20] <the_lost_one> aaronorosen: for the proc, you must type mount -t proc none /test/proc
[04:21] <After_Math> woli, in terminal do "update-rc.d 'scriptname' defaults"
[04:21] <Nillerz> http://pastebin.ca/1231511
[04:21] <Nillerz> I'll just leave this here...
[04:21] <After_Math> woli, let me know if that fixes the problem
[04:22] <woli> ok
[04:22] <woli> going to restart to see if it helped...
[04:22] <B1BLancer1> R_YoYo_R: Tried that.  It didn't work
[04:22] <smm289> I have a remote PC, WAN, what would be the best method to access a drive on the remote system, similiar to as if it was a LAN network drive
[04:22] <anewson> hi all
[04:22] <After_Math> heya
[04:23] <Zappp> jclbrt it wont let me make it smaller D: only bigger
[04:23] <the_lost_one> smm289: maybe a ftp server?
[04:23] <jclbrt> well... no... it wont make it smaller as the info may not fit
[04:23] <graeme> anyone know of good data recovery software
[04:23] <jclbrt> you may need to delete it
[04:23] <drandoss> nellery thanks for the help, I did figure out a way too remove huge chunks of characters GPRename is the program thunar works too but not for the odd characters
[04:23] <jclbrt> then recreate it
[04:23] <smm289> the_lost_one: Ya I thought about that, just wondering what my other options might be
[04:24] <jclbrt> but if you delete it u will lose info
[04:24] <After_Math> graeme, off a drive or cd?
[04:24] <Zappp> jclbrt i deleted 50% of the HDD space though
[04:24] <nellery> drandoss: great!
[04:24] <graeme> drive would be prefered I need to recovery a partition
[04:24] <Isilion> help with ATI radeon 9800 pro. installed ATI propietary drivers (catalyst 8.10) because i need 3d acceleration. Its properly installed, fglrxinfo shows ati, xorg.conf shows ati, gears work. but display freezes at launching openarena or compiz in example, and is needed a hard-reboot. details and more info at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766699&page=5
[04:24] <jclbrt> are you trying to delete the partition completely?
[04:24] <jclbrt> and make it one big partition?
[04:24] <After_Math> graeme, you could easily use Ubuntus livecd
[04:25] <the_lost_one> smm289: samba over openvpn?
[04:25] <graeme> what is the software called
[04:25] <After_Math> graeme, mount the partitions and transfer what you want into a usb or ecternal
[04:25] <After_Math> graeme, just ubuntus livecd
[04:25] <Zappp> no i want to divde the one largest partition into 2-3 so i can install ubuntu as a dual boot
[04:25] <graeme> well i fomated it when I installed ubuntu
[04:25] <woli> After_Math: it worked! thanks..
[04:25] <After_Math> woli, sweet np :)
[04:26] <After_Math> graeme, your out of luck my friend :)
[04:26] <anewson> hey all having a problem with my new hardy install... i upgraded from 7.10, the did a fresh install of 8.04 when the upgrade didn't work... basically i think the problem is that hardy is seeing my IDE hard drives as scsi or something
[04:26] <B1BLancer1> Can anybody tell me what the default keyring password is supposed to be?  I tried my login password.  Apparently, that's not it.
[04:26] <anewson> i'm a little new so i'm not sure that's right
[04:26] <After_Math> graeme, I dought youll be able to get any information off a drive thats been formated and have a OS installed on
[04:26] <anewson> but cfdisk shows my partitions as sdx instead of hdx
[04:26] <Zappp> @ jclbrt no i want to divde the one largest partition into 2-3 so i can install ubuntu as a dual boot
[04:26] <izinucs> anewson, hardy labels all drives as sdXX
[04:27] <pajamian> anewson: that's normal for hardy
[04:27] <anewson> ah yeah?
[04:27] <After_Math> anewson, and Intrepid
[04:27] <anewson> i'd love to get the exact part the boot dies on
[04:27] <anewson> but i can't seem to mount the sdxs
[04:27] <pajamian> anewson: yep, it does the same for my drive which is ATA
[04:27] <anewson> ubuntu@ubuntu:/$ sudo mount -t auto /dev/sda2 /mount
[04:27] <anewson> mount: special device /dev/sda2 does not exist
[04:28] <anewson> sda2 is taken from cfdisk
[04:28] <anewson> it should be there
[04:28] <anewson> if i can get my hard drive mounted i'll pastebin the dmesg
[04:28] <After_Math> anewson, maybe you have to be specific with the type
[04:28] <tritium> !enter | anewson
[04:28] <anewson> cheers trit
[04:28] <izinucs> anewson, try sudo fdisk -l to locate it
[04:28] <anewson> k
[04:28] <fiber> hi, anyone know of a project like imposter that is recent... i need a standalone player for impress that can also hopefully play inbeded media (export to swf/pdf doesn't do that)
[04:29] <pajamian> anewson: what version of ubuntu are you using to try to mount the drives, and what version of ubuntu is the cfdisk taken from?
[04:29] <Isilion> !ati | Isilion
[04:29] <anewson> i'm on the 8.04 live cd atm
[04:29] <pajamian> anewson: and the cfdisk?
[04:29] <anewson> ditto, i'm using cfdisk here on the live cd
[04:29] <pajamian> anewson: ok, just checking.
[04:30] <karex> HI, anyone could help me with axxio zetta issue?
[04:30] <anewson> specifying the boot type doesn't seem to be working either

[04:30] <TheZealot> hey folks, I am having a problem with ftp permissions using vsftpd. I want all the files I upload to have the permissions 755, and I have set the file_open_mode=0755 and local_umask=0755, but neither are functioning properly--I have restarted the daemon
[04:31] <After_Math> TheZealot, you might want to try FileZilla :)
[04:31] <pajamian> TheZealot: umask should be the opposite, 022 I think.
[04:31] <TheZealot> oh really? ok let me give that a try
[04:32] <anewson> anyone else with ideas on why mount can't see my filesystems?
[04:32] <memeemeee> someone tell me how to load the power applet in x?
[04:32] <After_Math> hmmmwhat!
[04:32] <After_Math> o_0
[04:32] <OSX> http://tinyurl.com/OSXMINI
[04:32] <jclbrt> then make a new partition out of the larger one what are you trying to shrink ???
[04:32] <B1BLancer1> Can anybody help me with a keyring password issue?
[04:32] <After_Math> ban OSX
[04:32] <Orbixx> !ops OSX, posting inappropriate links
[04:32] <pajamian> anewson: can you see sda2 in your /dev directory?
[04:33] <Rideh> easiest way to append the output of a command to the end of a file?
[04:33] <After_Math> !ops | OSX
[04:33] <OSX> thanks
[04:33] <tritium> After_Math: yes?
[04:33] <After_Math> take a look at the link OSX gave
[04:33] <Zappp> jclbrt it wont let me >_> also says there is a bad sector. if i delete it and try making a new one would i have to reinstall windows?
[04:33] <anewson> pajamian: hmm actually no
[04:33] <izinucs> TheZealot, hve you seen http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-Vsftpd-in-Ubuntu-45753.shtml
[04:33] <anewson> pajamian: sda is the only one there
[04:33] <nalioth> tritium: taken care of
[04:33] <After_Math> tritium, inappropriate
[04:33] <pajamian> anewson: that would be your problem, then.
[04:33] <anewson> lol guess that explains it. but why aren't the devices there?
[04:34] <pajamian> anewson: what about hda*?
[04:34] <TheZealot> pajamian: it worked! Thank you! Why does it have to be set at 022. That doesn't make sense to me...
[04:34] <memeemeee> someone tell me how to load the power applet in x?
[04:34] <tritium> nalioth: ;)
[04:34] <anewson> pajamian: no /dev/hdx
[04:34] <pajamian> TheZealot: umask specifies the bits that will not be set for file permissions, so it is the opposite of the permission bits.
[04:34] <karex> HI, is it necessary to defragment the disk in ubuntu?
[04:34] <mikmorg> I'm trying to run Flash/Firefox audio through a second sound device, but all of the tips i've read (such as using `aoss`, or linking /tmp/.esd-1000) aren't working; sound is always being directed to the on-board sound device. Can anyone help?
[04:35] <pajamian> anewson: probably something to do with udev not seeing the partitions, then.
[04:35] <Isilion> anyone has an ati radeon working in his pc? with 3d accel?
[04:35] <TheZealot> pajamian: well, that's interesting =) I'm very appreciative of that advice, I would never have figured that out on my own.
[04:35] <anewson> pajamian: which is also probably why ubuntu won't boot, yeah?
[04:35] <mikmorg> side note: rhythmbox is correctly being redirected to the second device after i changed the seetings in System->prefs->sound
[04:36] <pajamian> anewson: and I wish I could say that I'm an expert on udev, but I'm not, but at least now you know a bit more about where to look.  Maybe you can find some info from googling, now.
[04:36] <Zappp> jclbrt it wont let me >_> also says there is a bad sector. if i delete it and try making a new one would i have to reinstall windows?
[04:36] <anewson> yea hold that thought, i'll take a look- thanks for the help sofar pajamian
[04:36] <pajamian> anewson: yw
[04:36] <jclbrt> yes Zappp you would
[04:37] <jclbrt> you should repair the disk first
[04:37] <Zappp> how do i do that?
[04:37] <pajamian> TheZealot: yeah, it is confusing.
[04:37] <jclbrt> with like fdisk or something like that
[04:37] <jclbrt> i just use Apple's Disk utility normally
[04:37] <jclbrt> but ur on PC i dunno how on that
[04:38] <ajhtiredwolf> Something got seriously messed up, my screen resolution will not go to anythinb but 640x480 now, I tried doing sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but that has only made things worse
[04:38] <After_Math> Zappp, reformat it with fdisk or cfdisk
[04:39] <Zappp> im fine with reformatting as long as it doesnt require a reinstall of windows XP wich i cant do
[04:39] <tgraupmann> Is there a mac emulator that works on Ubuntu? I wanted to run a dmg package
[04:39] <jclbrt> Zappp reformatting would require a reinstall of XP
[04:39] <Zappp> urg
[04:39] <After_Math> Zappp, sorry I misunderstood
[04:39] <B1BLancer1> Can anybody help me with a default keyring password issue?
[04:41] <LV_Home> I have a T20, and was trying to debug sound-after-resume, and now I have no sound at all... I'm a linux expert but a desktop noob... how do I get sound wokrrking agian?
[04:41] <tgraupmann> Actually it's an emulator for mpkg
[04:41] <After_Math> B1BLancer1, for your network?
[04:42] <izinucs> B1BLancer1, did you happen to change your primary password prior to this keyrinig problem?
[04:43] <B1BLancer1> After_Math : I was trying to get evolution mail set up, and in the set up process it said I needed to enter the password to unlock the default keyring.
[04:43] <Zappp> ok i got an idea how i can do this but i need to know if/how to convert a .rar to a .iso
[04:44] <After_Math> B1BLancer1, i see
[04:44] <liza0> hello
[04:44] <liza0> can games like WoW be played on ubuntu ?
[04:44] <ghotimaster> if you have a super fast computer
[04:44] <izinucs> liza0, yes via "wine"
[04:44] <ghotimaster> and wine
[04:44] <B1BLancer1> izinucs : I don't think so.  I wouldn't know how to do that.
[04:44] <nellery> liza0: WoW is compatible with Wine
[04:44] <nellery> !wine
[04:44] <liza0> nice
[04:45] <ghotimaster> you got wine liza0?
[04:45] <liza0> no
[04:45] <coil> !gparted
[04:45] <liza0> i will install it
[04:45] <ghotimaster> cool
[04:45] <pajamian> Zappp: that depends on what is in the .rar
[04:45] <After_Math> B1BLancer1, maybe this? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-813201.html
[04:45] <venger> ubottu should mention the #winehq channel for the !wine factoid
[04:46] <nellery> yes he should..
[04:46] <the_lost_one> haha
[04:46] <Zappp> pajamian: its got a .ccd, .img and a .sub in it
[04:46] <pajamian> Zappp: the .img is probably the same as a .iso
[04:47] <Zappp> but do i need the other two files also?
[04:47] <After_Math> B1BLancer1, also maybe this System->Preferences->Encyption and Keyrings then
[04:47] <After_Math> highlight the password keyring "login" then click Remove Keyring then reboot.
[04:47] <After_Math> sorry for double post
[04:48] <pajamian> Zappp: what is it for?
[04:48] <memeemeee> someone tell me how to load the power applet in x?

[04:49] <Zappp> pajamian: its a .rar called windows XP pro SP2 image and it has image.ccd , image.img and image.sub in it
[04:49] <After_Math> B1BLancer1, np
[04:49] <the_lost_one> Zappp: command file will say what kind of file is, just a tip that sometimes help when dealing with that :) and you only need the img file
[04:50] <liza0> would there anything extra that  would need to do if running wine on 64 bit Ubuntu ?
[04:50] <pajamian> Zappp: right you only need the img file, the other files are probably text files and may contain helpful info, so read them with a text editor (or less)
[04:51] <kuthux> how to show available usernames on a system ?
[04:51] <After_Math> How do you enable emerald themes?
[04:51] <pajamian> kuthux: I usually just: cat /etc/passwd
[04:51] <maddash> kuthux: users
[04:52] <maddash> kuthux: less typing with mine. cleaner, simpler, more efficient. releases less greenhouse gases too
[04:52] <Zappp> i opened one with a text editer and its just gibberish
[04:52] <kuthux> pajamian: there is a long list of users
[04:53] <izinucs> maddash, why when typing "users" I get my user name listed 3 times?
[04:53] <kuthux> maddash: root isn't displayed. is it alright ?
[04:53] <maddash> kuthux: i think root is ALWAYS there.
[04:53] <maddash> kuthux: hence the name, "root"
[04:53] <izinucs> maddash, root didn't show up for me either.
[04:54] <pajamian> kuthux: users won't display all users, just the normal ones.
[04:54] <kuthux> maddash: ok then. thx
[04:55] <bpat1434> I'm having an issue with xorg, for whatever reason if the screensaver goes active, x seems to shut down even though I have it set up not to
[04:55] <pajamian> kuthux: actually users does something entirely different
[04:55] <the_lost_one> thats why i always cat passwd :)
[04:55] <pajamian> kuthux: users displays a list of *logged in* users
[04:55] <kuthux> maddash: users - print the user names of users currently logged in to the current host
[04:55] <izinucs> pajamian, why would users list my username 3 times?
[04:56] <pajamian> izinucs: because the system sees you as logged in 3 times

[04:58] <Kr0ntab> izinucs: users shows you how many user sessions are active.  each terminal and various applications create their own session.
[04:58] <Isilion> ajhtiredwolf at least nvidia drivers are good, propietaryes and opensourced. ATI drivers just sux. cant install by themselves and doest work at all...
[04:58] <the_lost_one> kuthux: pay atention to the shell they have /bin/nologin or /bin/false
[04:58] <kunwon1> kuthux, some are, usually just standard users and root, also depending on your ssh configuration
[04:58] <izinucs> Kr0ntab, that makes sense
[04:58] <Kr0ntab> one is typically your desktop session... the second is your terminal...  open another terminal and you'll see the third
[04:58] <After_Math> is there some app out there that is better then the original system manager. Something like super task manager for windows?
[04:58] <izinucs> Kr0ntab, yep I've got 2 terminal open..
[04:59] <ajhtiredwolf> Isilion, ive had problems with both :(, people hardly respond to question about nvidia or ati in here htough, I think because they are usually hard to answer
[04:59] <izinucs> verified.. thank Kr0ntab
[04:59] <pajamian> kuthux: what the_lost_one just said about shell, also if the user_id (third column) is 1000 or greater then chances are it's a normal user and you can log into it via ssh.
[04:59] <Kr0ntab> izinucs: np  :-)
[05:00] <goldie> Hello, I want to install windows xp but its not installing it goes straight to linux even if I make boot 1st cd rom.
[05:00] <Isilion> ajhtiredwolf not so usually. this is the first time that noone answer me for hours. last time it took 5 mins
[05:00] <the_lost_one> izinucs: about pts, easy, http://linux.die.net/man/4/pts
[05:00] <ajhtiredwolf> Isilion, ive only been able to get help with a display problem in here once :-P. The solution was to reinstall though unfortunately hah
[05:00] <kuthux> the_lost_one n pajamian thx, i'll try.
[05:01] <izinucs> the_lost_one, thanks for the link.  interesting
[05:01] <the_lost_one> izinucs: yeah, linux power :)
[05:01] <Zappp> urg i tried booting from the .img disk but it didnt work
[05:01] <henson> ok, this is going to sound idiotic: Is there anything like msconfig in Ubuntu that I could use to disable unnecessary startup items & services?
[05:02] <kuthux> the_lost_one n pajamian, users that i can use to login have "/bin/bash" right ?
[05:02] <venger> ajhtiredwolf, what card model and what driver version?
[05:02] <pajamian> kuthux: yes, usually
[05:02] <the_lost_one> kuthux: rigth
[05:03] <kuthux> the_lost_one & pajamian thx@lot guys!
[05:03] <Isilion> ajhtiredwolf that doesnt bother me. i have a clean xubuntu install with ati propietary drivers properly installed (fglrx shows ati, xorg.conf sows ati, ati is everywhere in every command that can list it; and gears work. but for some reason, openarena, compiz, whatever3d hagns computer and i need to harreboot.) waiting for someone who tells me whats wrong
[05:03] <the_lost_one> kuthux: np :)
[05:03] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, the 8800gt, im trying to use the latest nvidia driver. But it doesnt work without it either, vesa doesnt recognize it.
[05:04] <goldie> Hello, I want to install windows xp but its not installing it goes straight to linux even if I make boot 1st cd rom.
[05:04] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, when starting I have to select it manually, nvidia, 8 series, then it will boot in this super low resolution, right now I dont have the nvidia hardware acceleration driver enabled.
[05:04] <Isilion> i sent tickets to ati support to, and they only do automated replys till the moment. now 2 complains are in the Work-in-progress state. in One i suggest them to fix the driver, in the other i tell them that the driver doesnt work at all
[05:04] <izinucs> goldie, it's a conspiracy.. perhaps ##windows can answer that question
[05:04] <the_lost_one> goldie: your computer dosnt want windows again :)
[05:04] <venger> ajhtiredwolf, what method are you using to install?
[05:05] <smil3y> goldie>  apt-get downgrade-windows  or join a windows channel
[05:05] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, the nvidia driver? that is already been installed. It has been working for quite a while, what happened was it crashed while loading a program that had a different resolution ( a virtual desktop )
[05:05] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, so what i did was sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, that made things worse
[05:05] <anewson> goldie: you just walked into a ferrari dealership and asked for help parking your civic
[05:06] <abstractEntity> hi i need some help to install jboss seam
[05:06] <goldie> i wanted to have both windows and linux. so I installed linux first.
[05:06] <kunwon1> ajhtiredwolf, have you tried nvidia-settings?
[05:07] <ajhtiredwolf> kunwon1, i havnet, i dont currently have that installed
[05:07] <kunwon1> should be able to redo your xorg.conf properly for your card
[05:07] <smil3y> goldie>  do you have a partition thats empty on your drive?
[05:07] <abstractEntity> i downloaded a tar.gz file
[05:07] <beebird> oh,if you installed linux first, maybe it is hard to install windows.
[05:07] <pajamian> goldie: you need to change the boot order in your BIOS configuration.
[05:07] <smil3y> goldie>  large enough for it?
[05:07] <ajhtiredwolf> kunwon1, let me try and install that and see if it can do anything
[05:08] <venger> ajhtiredwolf, again, what method did you use to install? envy? binary installer?
[05:08] <abstractEntity> who can help me?
[05:08] <goldie> i put hdd1 for linux to take all 40 gb
[05:08] <lliw00> is there a way to use both a wired and a wireless connection at the same time on hardy/
[05:09] <the_lost_one> abstractEntity: whats up
[05:09] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, to install the nvidia driver? The update manager downloaded it automatically. to install it, i just uded the "Hardware Drivers" program
[05:09] <abstractEntity> hi the_lost_one
[05:09] <goldie> ok i am going to reinstall linux and put 20 gb only
[05:09] <abstractEntity> how can i install jboss seam in ubuntu?
[05:09] <anewson> hey all an update on my problem... although the livecd cfdisk sees my sda1-4 partitions, they don't appear in /dev/... however, my second hardrive which is NTFS, shows up as /dev/sdb1 and mounts fine
[05:09] <venger> ajhtiredwolf, dmesg | grep -i nvidia plz
[05:09] <predator363> all: i am having display issues with ubuntu i am fairly new to linux and dont know what to do (more details apon response)
[05:09] <goldie> ill be back in a hour if i need more help
[05:09] <smil3y> goldie>  well you need to partition the drive and take maybe 10 gig for windows
[05:09] <ajhtiredwolf> [   34.346790] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
[05:09] <ajhtiredwolf> [   34.598795] NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module  169.12  Thu Feb 14 17:51:09 PST 2008
[05:10] <anewson> seems like the problem is just for that drive... does that mean it's any more or less likely it's udev? is there some way to try and detect sda again, and log the output?
[05:10] <abstractEntity> the_lost_one i have a tar.gz file
[05:10] <the_lost_one> abstractEntity: you checked first with apt-get?
[05:10] <predator363> all: i am having display issues with ubuntu i am fairly new to linux and dont know what to do (more details apon response)
[05:11] <goldie> smil3y is there a way to do it without reinstalling ubuntu
[05:11] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, do you think I should try running nvidia-xconfig?
[05:11] <venger> ajhtiredwolf,  you should try to reinstall the restricted drivers or personally i would removed it and get on a newer version using the binary installer
[05:11] <abstractEntity> no
[05:11] <izinucs> predator363, what kind of vid card?
[05:11] <predator363> nvidia 8200m
[05:11] <the_lost_one> abstractEntity: then you migth find it in a easy way
[05:11] <venger> ajhtiredwolf, the dpkg-reconfigure should have simplied the xorg, did you ever put nvidia under the driver section back in?
[05:11] <kavon> so i've got a 1.5 terabyte transfer a month, 150gb web server sitting around not being used like at all... can i become a mirror for ubuntu?
[05:11] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, well first it needs to be able to detect my card correctly and create a valid xorg.conf is that correct?
[05:11] <predator363> izinucs: sorry forgot to put your name infont
[05:12] <anewson> abstractEntity: if you want to use the tar.gz you have to extract it, then compile the program yourself... type "man tar" in a terminal
[05:12] <anewson> abstractEntity: like the_lost_one says though, it will be much easier if you find it in a repository
[05:12] <izinucs> predator363, check under system/admin/hardware drivers and see if there is a restricted driver there that needs to be activated
[05:12] <tasd> "partial" install problem with wubi.  advise would be appreciated
[05:12] <abstractEntity> ok thank you
[05:12] <venger> ajhtiredwolf, off the top of my head  Driver "nvidia" under device i believe
[05:12] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, I think it does when you enable the driver, right now my xorg is the false safe one generated from selecting the card manually
[05:12] <predator363> izinucs: it wont let me past the warning! running in low graphics mode screen
[05:13] <proqesi> the fstab format has changed.  could someone explain how I would modify the hard drive device when it isn't displayed in human readable text? (like /dev/hdb1 instead of /dev/hda1)
[05:13] <izinucs> predator363, what warning?
[05:13] <predator363> izinucs: i am currently in vista
[05:13] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, want me to rundpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and hten add it?
[05:13] <venger> ajhtiredwolf, pastebin your xorg.conf
[05:13] <tr-ee> I am trying to get iptables to allow incoming connections on port 80 and forward them to an internal apache server. I can not get it to work. Could someone look at my iptables rules and tell me if there is something wrong?
[05:14] <izinucs> proqesi, use blkid to identify the uuid of drives/partitions
[05:14] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, http://pastebin.com/m1eb4a7a4
[05:14] <pajamian> proqesi: just put /dev/hdb1, it should work just as well.
[05:14] <Decepticon> is ubuntu smart enough that i can turn it off, add a new wifi card and a pvr150 tv tuner card, and reboot, that it'll recognize the stuff and use it
[05:14] <the_lost_one> tr-ee: use pastebin, and will see
[05:14] <predator363> izinucs: when i boot into ubuntu it loads the x server and then pops up a little window telling me to choos the options of troubleshooting (which does nothing) or configureing displaydrivers (which iv tinkered with and havent chaged anything cos i can figure it out)
[05:14] <h1k0> is there somebody that well know about ubuntu security? i need somebody to help me to check my server vulnerabilities
[05:14] <tr-ee> the_lost_one, is it ok if I link you to my forum post?
[05:15] <pajamian> Decepticon: yes
[05:15] <tasd> "partial" install problem with wubi. Able to get to heron background, but then the 'format space for partition never loads.  any thoughts?
[05:15] <the_lost_one> tr-ee: no prob
[05:15] <tr-ee> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=953256
[05:16] <venger> ajhtiredwolf, you have a modeline for 640x480 and you are also telling it to use it with the modes entry...are you working with a tv or a monitor?
[05:16] <anewson> hey all what's this "Hardware Testing" on the livecd? it wants me to submit a report to launchpad.. i just want to see the diagnostic- it's not going to make a new question on launchpad is it?
[05:16] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, with a tv
[05:16] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, sorry with a monitor*
[05:16] <predator363> izinuc: ?
[05:16] <After_Math> lol
[05:17] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, flat screen 22in, wanting the resolution 1680x1050
[05:17] <jim_p> !debports
[05:17] <kulfi> looking for some advice on which Ubuntu to install (desktop or server)
[05:17] <izinucs> predator363, well ya gotta get your feet wet sometime.. go with the configuring display drivers and see what you can do.. it's much easier to help when you're actually in the system.  Google "irssi" for a command line irc client in linux.. it's actually easy.. ctrl+alt+F2 will get you to a text screen to install and load irssi.. ctrl+alt+f7 get's you to the gui.. by bouncing back and forth you can fix the system.
[05:18] <kulfi> i'm looking to set up a sandbox web dev environment (Apache, mySql) and would also like samba + remote desktop
[05:18] <Decepticon> how do i get to the terminal
[05:18] <Decepticon> with virtual consoles
[05:18] <kulfi> should i install server or desktop editions for that?
[05:19] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, when it doesnt recognize the card, a widnows comes up asking me to select the card manually, i do so, i tell it nvidia, and then select 8 series, and it creates that xog.conf
[05:19] <predator363> izinuc: yea i know how to get into command line how would i install the command line irc from say a thumb drive?
[05:19] <memeemeee> anyone know how to load battery applet in X11?
[05:20] <venger> ajhtiredwolf, the nv driver probably can't handle a 8800gt.   remove the restricted driver package, download the latest nvidia binary for your arch, switch to vt and stop gdm, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, sh  NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-177.80-pkg2.run and let it update the canned xorg.conf
[05:20] <izinucs> kulfi, server and if you need a gui at some point you can install it on top
[05:20] <lliw00> how do i change the port that ssh operates on?
[05:20] <kulfi> so server comes w/o gui?
[05:20] <tasd> wubi load problem.  'format space ofr partition ubuntu/disk/...' never loads.  (stuck at 0%) any ideas?
[05:20] <kulfi> @izinucs, server doesn't have a windowing system?
[05:20] <Phulion> http://www.sexy-lena.com/en/?uid=29846
[05:20] <scott> Correct
[05:20] <predator363> izinuc: also im on a wireless connection its all i can get for now
[05:20] <anewson> ok new info all.... gparted says of my sda partitions (which it sees): WARNING - the device /dev/sda1 doesn't exist. Probably /etc/mtab is missing
[05:21] <izinucs> predator363, not sure.. but if you're at the command line then "sudo apt-get install irssi"  ... then irssi to start.. then "/server irc.freenode.net"  .. then /join #ubuntu
[05:21] <tr-ee> the_lost_one, are you lookin at my post?
[05:21] <anewson> what's /etc/mtab, and could it have anything to do with this?
[05:21] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, sorry I dont mean to be a pain but how do you remove the restricted driver package, where can I find the binary driver for my arch and what is vt, how do i stop gdm?
[05:21] <Decepticon> pajamian what do toyu mean by yes
[05:21] <Decepticon> pajamian or is it better to do a reinstall with the hardware in place
[05:21] <izinucs> kulfi, server is text based only.. to install a gui on top you can sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop
[05:22] <predator363> Izinuc: how would i configure a wireless connection in command line?
[05:22] <the_lost_one> tr-ee: yeah, im looking at my rules
[05:22] <kulfi> thanks izinucs!
[05:22] <jacosta> if i unstall the ubuntu 8.10 beta, ill I be able to upgrade it after the official launch
[05:22] <izinucs> predator363, that I don't have the answer to .. sorry
[05:22] <predator363> dang
[05:22] <venger> ajhtiredwolf, you should be able to just use the driver manager icon and remove it since you installed it via the same icon, no?
[05:22] <scott> I would sudo aptitude rather than apt-get for installing a gui (in case you want to return to remove the package later)
[05:22] <paul68> !8.10 |jacosta
[05:22] <Azlx> hello everyone.
[05:22] <izinucs> kulfi, np :)
[05:23] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, nahh there is just an option to enable disable it there, is that what you meant? just disable it?
[05:23] <mooeee> hm weird
[05:23] <mooeee> my web browsers arestuck as if the net's dead
[05:23] <mooeee> but im obviously connected
[05:23] <predator363> im gunna go to ubuntu+1 cos intrepid is all i can get runnign at all on my machine
[05:23] <venger> ajhtiredwolf, ya disable it -- i think it uninstalls the package, but don't quote me on that since i haven't used that method in ages
[05:23] <jacosta> !8.10
[05:24] <Azlx> ok, here latly my dtpc is running ubuntu, and its running pretty much everything SLOW, to the point of me concidering switching back to windows xp, I NEED HELP, save my soul from windows!!!
[05:24] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, is there a different mehtod, because for some reason it is saying it is enabled ( even though it isnt and the box next to enable isnt checked )
[05:24] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, but understatus it says that it is " in use"
[05:24] <anewson> is there some way to manually run udev detection?
[05:25] <henson> alright.. thunar or rox?
[05:25] <anewson> rox!
[05:25] <anewson> only problem with rox is there's no shortcut to rename files
[05:25] <venger> ajhtiredwolf, lets check pkgs first, pastebin the following:  dpkg -l "nvidia*"; dpkg -l "*restricted*"
[05:25] <anewson> other than that it's far sexier
[05:26] <henson> anewson: The whole, "an application is a directory" thing sort of scares me
[05:26] <henson> I'm afraid it'll just leave junk everywhere (somehow)

[05:28] <anewson> is there some way to manually run udev detection?
[05:28] <venger> ajhtiredwolf, sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx-new nvidia-settings
[05:28] <the_lost_one> tr-ee: of course, but first i open the port with another rule
[05:28] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, done
[05:29] <anewson> henson: application dirs? isn't that only for the rox desktop?
[05:29] <goldie> Is there a way to format my hdd and wont load gurb.
[05:29] <tr-ee> the_lost_one, well, when I do that for mine it does not show port 80 being open
[05:29] <venger> ajhtiredwolf, go to nvidia.com and download the binary driver 177.80 -- are you on 64 or 32bit?
[05:29] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, 64

[05:30] <izinucs> sd32, if the isle of man is located in south africa

[05:30] <anewson> henson: not for the file manager
[05:30] <sd32> izinucs: that is the origin  of ubuntu in distrowatch
[05:30] <the_lost_one> tr-ee: that opens the port for me
[05:31] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, lol im really sorry to ask this, but can you link me to it, the resolution is so small i cant dispaly the page properly
[05:31] <Nytelord> help please.
[05:31] <anewson> rox is a little less familiar than thunar, but it's really far sleeker once you get the swing of it, imo
[05:31] <anewson> though like i said, the lack of a rename shortcut is a real pain
[05:32] <tr-ee> the_lost_one, i'll try it

[05:33] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, and stop gdm*
[05:33] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, gotcha

[05:50] <Spudz> ubuntu__: what do you get?  You get a login prompt?
[05:50] <DorothyJean> support please.
[05:50] <Q_Continuum> Okay, this bug is getting annoying.  After my laptop's been on for 8+ hours, apps will hang on launch, and despite me killing the process, never launch again until I reboot.  Also, all the gnome bars (top and bottom) on the desktop are 'hung' as well.  Restarting X doesn't work, I have to drop to one of the other terminals to force a reboot.

[05:52] <DorothyJean> four options... for ubuntu and two for windows... they both load but I'd like to just stick with two.

[05:53] <venger> ajhtiredwolf1, the driver is pretty smart at auto detecting things, i go with that first until it fails

[05:53] <ajhtiredwolf1> venger or just parts?
[05:53] <venger> ajhtiredwolf1, ya use it it will rely on dpms to get data
[05:54] <losher> WIGGMPk: I've never used it myself, which is why I redirected you to google
[05:54] <anewson> ubuntu__: sounds like the X server is crashing, and it's restarting GDM.. could be a lot of reasons. take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[05:54] <Spudz> can anyone prime me on the basics: how to make my ubuntubox share its interenet via wireless card?
[05:54] <complexity> anyone know what this means missing x11-dev-stuff, install it.
[05:54] <anewson> did you try updating your video drivers last time you were on?
[05:55] <Spudz> I don't know where to start
[05:55] <venger> ajhtiredwolf1, you can dump Option "DynamicTwinView" "False" if you want i use that to make a wine app happy
[05:55] <ubuntu__> what should that tell me? if it's crashing?
[05:55] <anewson> ubuntu__: exactly, and hopefully why

[05:56] <complexity> anyone know what this means missing x11-dev-stuff, install it.
[05:57] <anewson> ubuntu__: come to think of it, i'm not sure i'm on the right track... if GDM is booting, then your X server can't be that wanked
[05:57] <tukanglas> katrok
[05:57] <ubuntu__> what if it updated my video drivers, and that was it?
[05:57] <anewson> yea i don't think it would just update those without asking, though i don't really know
[05:57] <the_dude> whats the command line to search for the name of the app. like search firefox, and then it appears the name to install or remove, like fire3_0
[05:57] <ajhtiredwolf1> venger sighhh still only one res for me to choose from
[05:57] <anewson> also like i said, if you see GDM, it can't be that messed up... maybe try another session? like xfce instead of gnome, or kde or something?

[05:58] <ubuntu__> i can log in w/ the command prompt after pushing control + alt + f2

[05:58] <ubuntu__> and in the graphical mode, i can restart x server w/ ease
[05:59] <venger> ajhtiredwolf1, i'd stop using that setup, that is what's dumping those config options in there... did you do that again after you put in my conf?

[05:59] <benzss> i just removed something accidentally from 'startup programs' in sessions and want to put it back, only i don't fully remember its name... it was something like 'gshare daemon'. does anyone know the full name?

[06:00] <anewson> ubuntu__: ok. did you check out that log?
[06:00] <the_dude> whats the command line to search for the name of the app. like search firefox, and then it appears the name to install or remove, like fire3_0

[06:00] <ubuntu__> no. i'll have to reboot and reinstall this program again to get back w/ u after i check that out
[06:00] <ubuntu__> (i'm on the live cd)
[06:01] <anewson> the_dude: not sure if this is what you're looking for, but you could just do a 'locate'
[06:01] <ajhtiredwolf1> venger it looks to be yes
[06:01] <venger> ajhtiredwolf1, to next step is to pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[06:01] <ubuntu__> what if i uninstalled my video drivers?
[06:01] <anewson> ubuntu__: ok..which program?

[06:07] <predator363> hey ubuntu+1 is dead so can someone here help me. before i rebooted and tryed what he said someon in there told me sudo mv/etc/x11/xorg.conf /etc/x11/xorg.conf~ would solve my video problem but when i typed it in command it said no such file or directory so what should i do or what am i doing wrong?
[06:07] <ajhtiredwolf1> venger if that helps
[06:07] <lliw00> anyone know how to get ssh working on a different port otehr than 22?
[06:07] <anewson> DorothyJean: there should be comments in the actual file
[06:08] <ajhtiredwolf1> lliw00 did you try changing the port in the sshconfig ?
[06:08] <venger> ajhtiredwolf1, with no edid you could end up having to list modes, modelines as well
[06:08] <l1208> i need upgrading from ubuntu 5.10 to 8.04
[06:08] <anewson> DorothyJean: the comments should walk you though what to do
[06:08] <ubuntu__> it says only root can do that
[06:08] <ajhtiredwolf1> lliw00 or are people just not being able to connect to it on that port?
[06:08] <ajhtiredwolf1> DorothyJean the operating systems listed in theer are the ones that you can choose from, move the one you want as default to be  the first one listed in that file
[06:08] <anewson> hey ubuntu__- talking to me? still trying to mount that root filesystem?
[06:09] <wartalker> network manager does not have wireless network, why
[06:09] <ubuntu__> yes
[06:09] <ajhtiredwolf1> DorothyJean make sure that you make a backup of that file first
[06:09] <DorothyJean> um... i 'm not sure.
[06:09] <predator363> hey ubuntu+1 is dead so can someone here help me. before i rebooted and tryed what he said someon in there told me sudo mv/etc/x11/xorg.conf /etc/x11/xorg.conf~ would solve my video problem but when i typed it in command it said no such file or directory so what should i do or what am i doing wrong?
[06:09] <kunwon1> predator363, mv is a command, needs a space after it, and I believe the directory is named X11 not x11, case matters
[06:09] <anewson> ubuntu__: you need to type "sudo" in front of the mount command
[06:09] <ubuntu__> ah.
[06:09] <predator363> OH!! yea im so stupid i dident cap
[06:09] <lliw00> ajhtiredwolf1: i changed the port in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and when i entered the command sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart, it said unknown option -t
[06:09] <predator363> gonna try again
[06:10] <predator363> so what is the exact command i should type so i make sure to get it right
[06:10] <anewson> does anyone know if i can run /sbin/hotplug to create some missing /dev/ entries? or am i barking up the wrong tree
[06:10] <ajhtiredwolf1> lliw00 try stop then start
[06:10] <DorothyJean> help. how does it change the boot?
[06:10] <lliw00> ajhtiredwolf1, im doing this over ssh, so if i stop it, i cant restart it
[06:10] <DorothyJean> :-/
[06:10] <ajhtiredwolf1> lliw00 good point
[06:11] <ajhtiredwolf1> lliw00 I think i remember that happening to me too
[06:11] <anewson> DorothyJean: find the part in the menu.lst file where all the different operating systems are listed, then move your windows one to the top, like ajh said
[06:11] <ajhtiredwolf1> lliw00 make sure that the file is syntatically correct
[06:11] <EdUdE> Running intrepid ibex and my screen goes black when i try to resize a movie anyone else expireincing this?
[06:11] <venger> ajhtiredwolf1, http://www.taet.com.au/mb.nsf/d6plinks/WEBB-79HERK
[06:11] <HoNgOuRu> how can I install flashplugin with swiftfox and intel x86_64 ?
[06:11] <lliw00> ajhtiredwolf1, /etc/ssh/ssh_config, or /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[06:12] <lliw00> because as far as i can tell, both are correct
[06:12] <ajhtiredwolf1> lliw00 hang on oen sec, brb
[06:12] <lliw00> ok
[06:12] <DorothyJean> did i mention that I have a partitan? I don't see the vista operating system.
[06:12] <l1208> is it possible to upgrande from 5.10 to 8.04 just by typing sudo aptitude upgrade
[06:12] <DorothyJean> what's its code.
[06:13] <kunwon1> l1208, no
[06:13] <l1208> i need you help if you dont mind
[06:13] <ajhtiredwolf1> venger alrighty so put that line under screen in xorg.conf?
[06:13] <tritium> !upgrade | l1208
[06:13] <kunwon1> l1208, you'll have to upgrade to each individual release between 5.10 and 8.04, it will take many hours
[06:13] <venger> ajhtiredwolf1, no he basically resorted to a custom EDID bin file which doesn't seem to be available on that site
[06:13] <ubuntu__> hello?
[06:14] <kunwon1> l1208, easier to reinstall if that's at all possible
[06:14] <l1208> thanks
[06:14] <ubuntu__> i says it's mounted. nothing happened though. just siad i'm out of disk space
[06:14] <ajhtiredwolf1> venger crap
[06:14] <l1208> but i dont have all the cds
[06:15] <venger> ajhtiredwolf1, that would be ideal, your other option is to use custom modelines or you may need to rollback before 169.12 on the drivers
[06:15] <ajhtiredwolf1> venger Let's try modelines how would I do that?
[06:15] <kunwon1> l1208, you're looking at about two to three hours per upgrade probably, and five of them to do I think.. it would probably be much less time consuming to download the cd images, burn them, and install them
[06:16] <HoNgOuRu> how can I install flashplugin with swiftfox
[06:16] <HoNgOuRu> how can I install flashplugin with swiftfox and intel x86_64 ?
[06:16] <venger> ajhtiredwolf1, search that panel make model + xorg.conf, look for those who have a solution, you dont want to reinvent the wheel on this, much time to be spent mucking with modelines
[06:16] <aflack> the audio coming from my speakers is staticy and echos while any sound tries to play through it, anyone help?
[06:17] <ubuntu__> what do i do w/ my partition now that it's on /mnt???
[06:17] <ubuntu__> :(
[06:17] <ajhtiredwolf1> venger crap, so after all this time it is just the monitor?
[06:17] <aflack> lol ^ ^ ^
[06:17] <venger> ajhtiredwolf1, ya in conjuction with code changes since 169.12 i do believe
[06:17] <aflack>  the audio coming from my speakers is staticy and echos while any sound tries to play through it, anyone help? :)
[06:18] <ajhtiredwolf1> venger how irritating, the monitor being one of the most pricey parts to replace heh
[06:18] <anewson> hey all, my problem in a nutshell: although my hard drive shows up in lshw, it doesn't show up in /dev/. cfdisk also sees the partitions, but without the /dev/ entries, i can't mount them... how do i get /dev/ entries for them?
[06:18] <aflack>  the audio coming from my speakers is staticy and echos while any sound tries to play through it, anyone help? please :)
[06:19] <ajhtiredwolf1> vengerhmm i see a post saying that a guy just inserted the resolution manually into his xorg, how would i do that?
[06:19] <ajhtiredwolf1> venger unfortunately some times people forgot to say specifically what they did, instead of what worked
[06:19] <anewson> ajhtiredwolf1: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:20] <ajhtiredwolf1> anewson I know but i dont know how to insert custom resolutions
[06:20] <anewson> right at the bottom where the other resolutions are, just add your own
[06:20] <aflack>  the audio coming from my speakers is staticy and echos while any sound tries to play through it, anyone help?
[06:20] <histo> Alright wierd problem with tab completion. I can use tab completion on the first command ex: sud<tab> would type in sudo but I can't do sudo apti<tab> it won't complete.  or screen irss<tab> etc....
[06:20] <anewson> with the refresh rates, etc
[06:20] <anewson> and make sure it's on the top so it loads by default... however if the system doesn't think you can support that resolution, it will skip to the next one
[06:21] <aflack>  the audio coming from my speakers is staticy and echos while any sound tries to play through it, anyone help??
[06:21] <l1208> y is it when i type a command and i put my password in it tell me couldnt find package
[06:21] <ajhtiredwolf1> anewson there are nno resolutions in my xorg.conf or refresh rates
[06:21] <aaron__> hi, I'm trying to get wacom tablet working on my toshiba tecra M4, I've messed with fdi wacdump and others, it's on /dev/ttyS0 , /dev/input/wacom
[06:22] <anewson> ajhtiredwolf1: are you using hardy? think that's a hardy thing
[06:22] <ajhtiredwolf1> anewson yes I am
[06:22] <Spudz> Is this the right chan for a wireless networking question?
[06:22] <aflack>  the audio coming from my speakers is staticy and echos while any sound tries to play through it, anyone help? please help... =[
[06:22] <anewson> ajhtiredwolf1: can't help you any further.. sorry =/
[06:23] <ajhtiredwolf1> anewson s'ok
[06:23] <jim_p> !apt
[06:23] <raytruz> if i have a script running on cron, how can i redirect it to a certain ssh session?
[06:23] <raytruz> redirect the output that is
[06:23] <predator363> ok i moved xorg.conf but i am still having the same problem as i was before. ubuntu boots up and displays a screen saying im running in low graphics mode and then pulls up and option box and wont let me past it
[06:23] <aflack>  the audio coming from my speakers is staticy and echos while any sound tries to play through it, anyone help???
[06:23] <anewson> Spudz: i don't think there are any gurus on
[06:23] <aaron__> predator363: that happened to me before after I botched the xorg.conf config.
[06:23] <jim_p> what is that command that apt uses to grab packages from deb-src repos?
[06:23] <Spudz> anewson: prolly too early in the morning for em ;p
[06:24] <anewson> seems like it's nubs helping nubs at this point
[06:24] <predator363> aaron: what did you do to fix it?
[06:24] <aflack> nubs lmao?
[06:24] <aflack> not to be mean but are you like 12?
[06:24] <aaron__> predator363: so, what you need to do (or what worked for me) is run the instructions in the xorg.conf file that say how to reconfigure it automatically...
[06:24] <Spudz> anewson: owell it is a good way to learn
[06:24] <anewson> aflack: 11, actually
[06:24] <l1208> y is it when i type a command and i put my password in it tell me couldnt find package
[06:24] <aflack> wow no wonder
[06:24] <predator363> aaron: how do i do that?
[06:24] <aaron__> predator363: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[06:25] <hiptobecubic> anyone tried using any dj software in linux?
[06:25] <SuperTim> np,yw
[06:25] <predator363> and what will that do?
[06:25] <anewson> aflack: tbh i'm amazed you can do more than spam
[06:25] <aaron__> predator363: if you want to be reminded of how to do it: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf and the command is right up there ... This should work if you tweaked it yourself poorly.
[06:26] <aaron__> predator363: and it was working before...
[06:26] <aflack> anewson: i'm amazed you call that spamming, im asking a question and no one answers so i ask again. and im amazed people still use the word nub.
[06:26] <kunwon1> aaron_, he's on intrepid
[06:26] <predator363> i dident do any tweaking it did all this on a fresh install
[06:26] <MrDarkUser> whoami
[06:27] <aflack>  the audio coming from my speakers is staticy and echos while any sound tries to play through it, anyone help?
[06:27] <anewson> aflack: right, but there comes a point when even an 11 year old knows when to shut up and stop spamming his question, and maybe wait a while
[06:27] <MrDarkUser> kunwon1: I am too... Intrepid kubuntu makes me happy for the most part but my wacom tablet doesn't work.
[06:27] <anewson> no one knew 40 seconds ago, no one knows now, chill for a bit
[06:27] <kunwon1> aflack, when you ask the question often enough that it's on my screen three times, it's spamming :D
[06:28] <predator363> aaron: its a fresh install and it did this someone told me to remove xorg.conf and it would solve all my troubles but it dident change anything
[06:28] <kunwon1> MrDarkUser, fair enough :D
[06:28] <aflack> well then bye i guess ill never be able to listen to music on ubuntu
[06:28] <MrDarkUser> predator363: have you looked at your /var/log/ xorg stuff?
[06:28] <scort> /usr
[06:29] <predator363> mrdarkuser: you wouldent beleave how new i am to linux
[06:29] <Lion-O> Hi
[06:29] <predator363> mrdarkuser: i have no idea what you just said
[06:29] <anewson> anyway, on that note, anyone know anything about how /dev/ works and why my hard drive isn't showing up there, please check my q: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/48507
[06:30] <cmyk> anewson: you need udev running, the disk driver loaded too.
[06:30] <MrDarkUser> predator363: ... I can believe it.    in your file browser, go to /var/log and start looking at those files.
[06:30] <jim_p> what will this do        sudo apt-get source packagename             ?
[06:30] <Lion-O> you tell me ;)
[06:31] <cmyk> jim_p: download source?
[06:31] <Ayabara> are there any good p2p-clients for linux. I've used amule until now, but I hope there is something else out there :-)
[06:31] <cmyk> Ayabara: aria2c I like.
[06:31] <anewson> cmyk: ps aux tells me udev is running, and what driver would that be?
[06:31] <MrDarkUser> predator363: ibex isn't for the brandnew, btw what kind of computer / display and video card?
[06:31] <cmyk> anewson: lsmod | grep ata
[06:31] <anewson> it's an IDE drive, but now they're all considered scsi right?
[06:31] <predator363> mrdarkuser: im in vista right now so i will need step by step instructions on how to possibly fix this so i can write them down lol
[06:31] <cmyk> anewson: there should be one for your HW. For example, ata_piix for Intel PIIX chipsets.
[06:31] <jim_p> cmyk: thats what i want. it wont make / make install anything, right ?
[06:31] <cmyk> jim_p: right
[06:31] <MrDarkUser> predator363: get vmware and poke with it in there
[06:32] <cmyk> jim_p: it grabs the dsc, .tar.gz and patches IIRC
[06:32] <SuperTM> np,yw
[06:32] <anewson> cmyk: hmm... there are a bunch loaded, not sure if the one i need is there. can i figure out which i need from lshw?
[06:32] <MrDarkUser> predator363: you can also get cygwin from cygwin.com and play with linux type stuff
[06:32] <jim_p> cmyk: AND patches. omg! this is it!
[06:32] <histo> Alright wierd problem with tab completion. I can use tab completion on the first command ex: sud<tab> would type in sudo but I can't do sudo apti<tab> it won't complete.  or screen irss<tab> etc.... ?????
[06:32] <predator363> mrdarkuser: nvidia 8200m and laptop screen. also i tryed vmware and everything worked amazingly and i loved it but not in actual install
[06:32] <cmyk> anewson: lshw I dunno, but from lspci it's usually clear
[06:32] <Ayabara> cmeme, which networks does that one connect to? I see it says http/ftp/bittorrent.
[06:33] <blak> Has anyone had success with ekiga 3.0 working on ubuntu?
[06:33] <SuperTM> I can't seem to be able to get the Ubuntu disk to load and bring up normal install.  I however, can install from within windows with Wubi, and use "Start installer with ACPI workarounds".  I do not see such an option for the normal installing of Ubuntu, would I need the alternative CD to do such?
[06:33] <SuperTM> Without having to install within windows (Wubi) ?
[06:33] <jim_p> cmyk: i owe you big time
[06:33] <neil_d> I am using the command "fax2ps ... | lpr " to print faxes :-) but lpr is cutting of the the very bottom of the fax :-(  I have confirmed that the fax2ps is doing the right thing.   what can I do to fix this ?
[06:33] <anewson> cmyk: it will show up in lspci? even though it's an ide drive? i don't see it in lspci
[06:33] <jim_p> SuperTM: what mobo are you on?
[06:34] <SuperTM> jim_p: whatever comes with Dell Inspiron 530
[06:34] <blak> I only have 2.0 available as latest in synaptics package manager, not 3.0 for ekiga... so i was wondering if 3.0 will work.. or how you could tell synaptics package manager to look for it and install it?
[06:34] <MrDarkUser> predator363: ... I can't help you with the exact syntax because I don't know gnome
[06:34] <jim_p> SuperTM: linux kernel has ahci mode drivers ready inside
[06:34] <predator363> ...crud
[06:34] <jim_p> SuperTM: can you do an lspci now?
[06:34] <MrDarkUser> predator363: have you found a good tutorial site?
[06:34] <predator363> no...
[06:34] <SuperTM> jim_p: I have no idea what you are talking about.  I am still within windows
[06:35] <Decepticon> how do i check what hard drives are connected to my machine and how do i mount a newly inserted hdd to a /place/on/filesystem ?
[06:35] <predator363> over the last week iv learned alot tho like 5 days ago thee was no way i could even get ubuntu installed
[06:35] <jim_p> blak: are you sure ekiga 3 is out? you may have to wait for 8.10 that has gnome 2.24
[06:35] <anewson> cmyk: here's my lsmod|grep ata: http://pastebin.com/d16786a19
[06:35] <SuperTM> jim_p: I want to be able to install Ubuntu normally, and get rid of windows.  However that's the only possible way I have seen to get inside of the Ubuntu disk or installer.
[06:35] <jim_p> SuperTM: cant you boot from the bootable disk?
[06:35] <SuperTM> jim_p: Is though Wubi , and the "Start installer with ACPI workarounds"
[06:35] <cmyk> mm
[06:35] <SuperTM> jim_p: no
[06:36] <blak> jim_p: there is an ekiga 3.0 but synaptics package manager for ubuntu 8.04 hardy heron does not show there is a latest version of 3.0
[06:36] <jim_p> super_absorbant: why?
[06:36] <cmyk> anewson: pata_amd
[06:36] <SuperTM> jim_p: I do not see the same option on the bootable disk to "start with ACPI work arounds"
[06:36] <SuperTM> jim_p: As with Wubi
[06:36] <cmyk> anewson: there should be something like "IDE controller: AMD ..." in lspci output
[06:36] <Spudz> anewson: I'm n00b, but if it helps:  When Linux detects plugged-in-h/w, it looks thru /etc/udev/rules.d
[06:36] <Dekkzter> I need help with grub/lilo.. when i boot my computer ut only says GRUB on the entire screen.... anyone able to help me please?
[06:36] <Decepticon> how do i check what hard drives are connected to my machine and how do i mount a newly inserted hdd to a /place/on/filesystem ?
[06:37] <anewson> cmyk: no, but there's an IDE nvidia ATA controller
[06:37] <SuperTM> jim_p: just for the record this happens with all versions of Ubuntu
[06:37] <cmyk> anewson: ah ok
[06:37] <jim_p> SuperTM: noacpi i think. (i messed up acpi and ahci !!!)
[06:37] <Spudz> anewson: so if someone said u havea udev prob, they mean that there is no code in that folder that mounts the hdd when it's detected
[06:37] <cmyk> anewson: sata_nv is likely taking care of that already (some sata modules implicitly do pata too, it's not always obvious)
[06:37] <predator363> ahh screw it im gonna just forget ubuntu and go back to vista im so tired of things not working......vista actualy runs great for me so ...
[06:37] <cmyk> ata_piix for example does both sata/pata
[06:37] <jim_p> SuperTM: you put it in the line of custom boot options
[06:37] <Dekkzter> I need help with grub/lilo.. when i boot my computer ut only says GRUB on the entire screen.... anyone able to help me please?
[06:37] <SuperTM> jim_p: OK, so I need to select the "other options" and add noacpi ?
[06:38] <aflack> predator
[06:38] <fortes> i have a problem on screen resolution, can someone help me?
[06:38] <cmyk> anewson: there once was a tool called udevmonitor, but it's kinda gone in the newest releases. maybe you have it?
[06:38] <SuperTM> jim_p: to the little line
[06:38] <kunwon1> predator363, try hardy, it's a stable release, unlike the current version of intrepid
[06:38] <anewson> cmyk: no, unfortunately
[06:38] <blak> jim_p: you have any idea on that last thing i said?
[06:38] <jim_p> SuperTM: yes. i dont have a live cd handy yo put in vbox
[06:38] <predator363> hardy will not even install it is not in anyway compatable with my video or wireless card
[06:38] <anewson> cmyk: think i should try and find and get it?
[06:38] <SuperTM> jim_p: do I need to do it like -noapi, or any special things?
[06:38] <jim_p> blak: if ekiga3 is part of gnome 2.24, you have to wait for 8.10
[06:39] <Dekkzter> ja bryr mig inte om de är lilo eller grub... bara ja kan välja windows eller ubuntu så e ja nöjd
[06:39] <Dekkzter> I need help with grub/lilo.. when i boot my computer ut only says GRUB on the entire screen.... anyone able to help me please?
[06:39] <blak> jim_p: oh ok, thanks
[06:39] <predator363> i got hardy running after a while but could not make it detect wireless networks or run the proper display drivers
[06:39] <jim_p> SuperTM: no. and no dashes. in case this does not work, try acpi=off
[06:39] <Spudz> Dekkzter: look at /boot/grub/menu.lst (thats an ell not a one)
[06:40] <SuperTM> jim_p: I suppose I shall reboot and try?
[06:40] <cmyk> anewson: does sda show up after running udevtrigger?
[06:40] <predator363> i guss atleast it booted at all is a good start
[06:40] <jim_p> SuperTM: yes
[06:40] <predator363> i'll just go back to windows and try intrepid when its a full release
[06:40] <Dekkzter> Spudz: well.. i cant boot in to mu ubuntu installation... i am on the live cd now
[06:40] <anewson> cmyk: can't find udev moniter
[06:40] <predator363> now to go fix my mbr and destroy my linux partition
[06:40] <Spudz> anewson: My guess would be: First try to mount the hdd manually.  then when u have that sussed, fiddle with udev
[06:41] <anewson> manually?
[06:41] <cmyk> predator363: vista beta2 was not ready either :)
[06:41] <anewson> how can i mount it without a /dev/ entry?
[06:41] <Sa[i]nT> predator363: I would'nt lose hope in the failure of Intrepid -beta-.
[06:41] <cmyk> anewson: create the dev entry manually... for the time being
[06:41] <cmyk> cmyk: will only last until reboot though
[06:41] <predator363> im not losing hope im just hoping the final release will work
[06:41] <anewson> ah yea but don't i need the UUID for that?
[06:41] <cmyk> predator363: other distros also work - right now :)
[06:41] <histo> Figured it out no .bashrc file
[06:41] <cmyk> anewson: no?
[06:41] <predator363> ill get it in about a month when its been out a while and all the kinks are worked out
[06:42] <anewson> cmyk: lol k, how?
[06:42] <cmyk> anewson: the uuid is something that's, ahem, stored on sda2. You can't get there without sda2 :p
[06:42] <Spudz> predator363: Suggest u dualboot linux n vista
[06:42] <cmyk> mknod /dev/sdb2 b 8 $[16+2]
[06:42] <cmyk> I think...
[06:42] <predator363> i cant get any other distros to work on my pc tho hardy is the only one that worked and i could never get my vid or wifi fully operational
[06:42] <anewson> yea that's what i thought.. nevermind i was confusing making symlinks with what you're talking about
[06:43] <anewson> thanks, i'll check out the man page
[06:43] <predator363> and i am duel booting vista and ubuntu
[06:43] <cmyk> b 8 18
[06:43] <cmyk> well 16+2 is 18 :d
[06:43] <wartalker> network manager does not have the wireless network, i post the log, but i do not know why?
[06:43] <wartalker>  NetworkManager: <WARN>  nm_dbus_get_networks_cb(): error received: org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo.NoNetworks - There are no wireless networks stored..
[06:44] <jim_p> wartalker: disable the network manager
[06:44] <wartalker> jim_p:why?
[06:44] <jim_p> because it is responsible for a lot of inconveniences like yours
[06:45] <wartalker> jim_p: i have to use it?
[06:45] <Toipilas> What is good WHM?
[06:45] <anewson> cmyk: mount: /dev/sdb2 is not a valid block device
[06:45] <rogan_> will adobe air run on wine?
[06:45] <anewson> that's to you too Spudz
[06:45] <predator363> i geuss ill put 8,04 back on since it at least worked and i start learning more
[06:45] <histo> rogan_: check wine's appdb
[06:45] <jim_p> wartalker: do you use some wep key yo connect to your wireless network?
[06:45] <cmyk> anewson: hm, cat /proc/partitions?
[06:46] <rogan_> histo: ty
[06:46] <anewson> sda, sdb, sdb1
[06:46] <cmyk> so don't try to use sdb2 :p
[06:46] <anewson> but there's 4 partitions on sda, i can see them in cfdisk
[06:46] <cmyk> hm
[06:46] <wartalker> jim_p: yesterday, i have used wireless network, but now is wired.
[06:46] <anewson> oops
[06:46] <cmyk> anewson: if they're not in /proc/partitions, it's not a udv issue
[06:46] <anewson> thought i did sda
[06:46] <omfgitsashark> hey can anybody help me... i am trying to install fluxbuntu on my older laptop... i mounted the standard pc iso... but when i hit install it get this "your cpu does not support long mode. Use a 32bit distibution"
[06:46] <cmyk> anewson: maybe you forgot to reload the partition table?
[06:46] <anewson> oh no? so what is it =/
[06:47] <anewson> cmyk: reload the partition table? in cfdisk?
[06:47] <jim_p> wartalker: let me think of a network manager alternative
[06:47] <cmyk> well usually my fdisk (not cfdisk) automatically does it... but you can also trigger it on the shell
[06:47] <anewson> cmyk: nah i know they're there
[06:47] <cmyk> well the kernel thinks otherwise
[06:47] <anewson> cmyk: i could mount them fine using 7.10
[06:47] <jim_p> wartalker: do you see the wireless network when you double click the networks icon on the tray?
[06:48] <enzotib> omfgitsashark, are you using a 64bit distro?
[06:48] <cmyk> anewson: is any of sda or sdb mounted right now?
[06:48] <tengulre> anybody here from china?
[06:48] <wartalker> jim_p: my problem is that, it has not the wireless network
[06:48] <anewson> cmyk: yeah, i mounted sdb1
[06:48] <anewson> cmyk: it's NTFS, it mounts fine... just none of the sda partitions show up
[06:48] <anewson> but they do in lshw
[06:48] <omfgitsashark> i just went back and looked i accidently downloaded the amd64 instead of the i386
[06:49] <omfgitsashark> next time i need to red the link a little better
[06:49] <cmyk> anewson: blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sda
[06:49] <cmyk> try that
[06:49] <wartalker> jim_p: only have wired network, iwlist wlan0 scanning can find the wireless AP
[06:49] <twfxfnxfnf> what's the command that changes the "last modified" data of a file to a specified date
[06:49] <omfgitsashark> hha
[06:49] <omfgitsashark> talk about a waste of a c
[06:49] <omfgitsashark> cd
[06:49] <enzotib> twfxfnxfnf, touch
[06:49]  * twfxfnxfnf thought it was "finger" for a minute :(
[06:49] <anewson> woa hang on... all the sda1-4 just showed up in dev... let me see if they mount
[06:50] <jim_p_busy> what happened?
[06:50] <cmyk> jim_p_busy: someone set you up the bomb
[06:50] <anewson> cmyk: weird... they all show up, but they don't mount - "not a block device"
[06:50] <jim_p> cmyk: lol. shall i call the isp now?
[06:51] <cmyk> jim_p: hehe
[06:51] <cmyk> anewson: odd!
[06:51] <jim_p> does anybody know a nice gui for configuring wireless?
[06:51] <anewson> cmyk: i think the blockdev worked
[06:51] <jim_p> wartalker: do you see the wireless network when you double click the networks icon on the tray?
[06:51] <neil_d> I have a pdf, can I get lpr to scale the pdf to fit on the page ?
[06:51] <anewson> cmyk: you're a mad genius, it worked
[06:52] <iNutshell> jim_p: what about wicd ?
[06:52] <jim_p> iNutshell: let me look it up
[06:52] <wartalker> jim_p:only have the wired network, and i am sure my wireless is OK.
[06:52] <jim_p> iNutshell: perfect. does it need network manager too?
[06:53] <cmyk> anewson: had you perhaps partitioned it just before?
[06:53] <cHiOs> can anyone explain how is it possible that X messes up my netconnection?
[06:53] <iNutshell> jim_p: i don't know :P
[06:53] <anewson> cmyk: no, it hasn't been partitioned in a while
[06:53] <anewson> cmyk: so how/why would this be stopping me from booting?
[06:54] <wartalker> im_p:my log:
[06:54] <wartalker> NetworkManager: <info>  Updating allowed wireless network lists.
[06:54] <wartalker> NetworkManager: <WARN>  nm_dbus_get_networks_cb(): error received: org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo.NoNetworks - There are no wireless networks stored..

[06:54] <FloodBot2> wartalker: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:54] <cmyk> anewson: did it?
[06:54] <anewson> cmyk: yes, i can't boot into hardy
[06:54] <wartalker> FloodBot2:i am sorry
[06:54] <anewson> cmyk: and i think it's the same problem.... it doesn't read my hard drive correctly
[06:54] <cmyk> anewson: well where does it fail
[06:54] <jim_p> wartalker: did you disable network manager altogether? have a look here for wicd http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php
[06:55] <anewson> cmyk: says some stuff about scsi drives.... i'm looking through the logs on the partition i just mounted
[06:55] <cmyk> anewson: if it does not boot, what are you on right now?
[06:55] <anewson> cmyk: hardy livecd
[06:55] <jim_p> iNutshell: dude that app seems awesome!
[06:55] <cmyk> wut, and hardy livecd works neither? lol :p
[06:55] <wartalker> jim_p: thanks, i have tried it, it works. i only want to repair the network manager.
[06:56] <anewson> nah livecd works fine
[06:56] <[ipc]-michael> anyone messing with goog widgets?
[06:56] <anewson> it just doesn't read /dev/sda on the first go... i think that's the same problem that's stopping me from booting
[06:56] <jim_p> wartalker: network manager is a piece of crap software. seriously, remove it and dont rely on it
[06:57] <wartalker> jim_p: thanks, OK.
[06:57] <jim_p> wartalker: a friend of mine connected ONCE to another wireless network, other than his home one, and ever since network manager was trying to connect there!! he removed network manager 2 days later
[06:58] <wartalker> jim_p: i am installing the wicd now.
[06:59] <jim_p> wartalker: ok
[06:59] <wartalker> jim_p: thanks.
[07:00] <anewson> cmyk: strange... nothing is logged to the log files since i installed hardy, nothing from my attempts to boot
[07:00] <anewson> cmyk: actually i guess that makes sense, because it can't mount the hd
[07:02] <Spudz> jim_p, wartalker: I need to create a wireless network to distribute internet to other pcs in the house... Any chance you guys could help me get started?
[07:02] <tonyyarusso> jim_p: Your friend realizes that he could just remove the other network from his list, right?
[07:02] <Spudz> (or anyone else...)
[07:03] <jim_p> tonyyarusso: the network was not on the list :p
[07:03] <tyberion_> hm, guys, whats easiest way to install Java Virtual Machine to ubuntu?
[07:03] <anewson> sorry spudz, no wireless networking know-how
[07:03] <tyberion_> e.g. what package?
[07:03] <ziroday> !java > anewson
[07:03] <anewson> not me ziroday
[07:03] <tyberion_> meeeeee
[07:03] <tyberion_> !java > tyler_d
[07:03] <tyberion_> arg
[07:03] <wartalker> Spudz: sorry, i am new to wireless.
[07:03] <anewson> lol
[07:03] <tyberion_> !java > tyberion_
[07:03] <ziroday> anewson: oh woops, sorry
[07:03] <anewson> lol np
[07:04] <deftone> I have a dual boot system with vista and fedora 9...wanna blow away fedora and install kubuntu. what's the safest way to do that?
[07:04] <jim_p> Spudz: do the other pcs use static ips?
[07:05] <anewson> deftone: pop in the kubuntu CD
[07:05] <deftone> anewson: that's all?
[07:05] <T-Hawk> is there a max limit for the GID when creating a group? have a vista box connected over NFS, and it seems to access with the user and group no:<PHONE_NUMBER>
[07:05] <ziroday> deftone: run the kubuntu livecd and just overwrite the partitions where you have fedora installed. Also kubuntu questions should be in #kubuntu :)
[07:05] <cmyk> ubottu:no way
[07:05] <alexanderc> hey could someone open gconf and tell me what the type is for /apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options/active_plugins ?
[07:05] <anewson> deftone: yea you just want to format fedora right? just go through the regular install of kubuntu, you'll be given a chance to format your fedora partition
[07:06] <alexanderc> I am kind of terminal jockeying this here and I don't want to fuck it up - I just need to disable a compiz plugin from the terminal
[07:06] <alexanderc> oh sorry about the language
[07:06] <ziroday> alexanderc: the type is list
[07:06] <alexanderc> thanks
[07:07] <Spudz> jim_p: They are macbooks.  So I guess they can be configured to use static ips or dhcp...(?)
[07:07] <ziroday> alexanderc: you can also ask in #compiz-fusion for more compiz help
[07:07] <jim_p> Spudz: yes. so you need to make the pc act as a wireless router?
[07:07] <dekushrub> i tried to plug in an external hard drive and i was told it could not be mounted because it needed to be safely removed in windows, anyone know anything about this
[07:08] <ziroday> dekushrub: yes you need to mount if with the -o force option, it should tell you about that in the error message
[07:08] <Spudz> jim_p: Yes!  How do I start?
[07:08] <tyberion_> hum ziroday Ive got teh sun-java6-jre installed still If I try to insatll a certain application it tells  me I need to install the JAVA VIRTUAL MACHINE... hm..
[07:08] <dekushrub> ziroday, how do i do that?
[07:09] <ziroday> dekushrub: if you read the error message it will give you the command you need, unfortunatly I can't remember it
[07:09] <Decepticon> theres no way for my pc to live a normal ubuntu life if i use a unsupported card like nvidia geforce 5200 or 5500?
[07:09] <jim_p> Spudz: look at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc
[07:09] <ziroday> tyberion_: what application?
[07:10] <ziroday> Decepticon: what do you mean by "normal life"?
[07:10] <tyberion_> ziroday: some tool I need for college, www.verifun.org :<
[07:11] <alexanderc> phew so glad that worked
[07:11] <tyberion_> java -server -version also gives me that java se runtime environment 1.6.0_07 is installeed
[07:11] <alexanderc> man never turn on the reflect plugin with the reflect windows option
[07:11] <ziroday> tyberion_: ah, I recommend you send an email to the developers reporting your issue
[07:14] <hookman> 大家好
[07:14] <tyberion_> ziroday:  ok :(
[07:14] <Decepticon> ziroday, will the desktop that i eventually put on the pc with such a videocard, will it be different from that of a pc with a videocard thats supported straight out of the box
[07:14] <iNutshell> hookman: english here
[07:14] <ziroday> !zh | hookman
[07:14] <hookman> 怎样把xchat搞成窗口模式？
[07:14] <hookman> 我把整个屏幕沾满了
[07:14] <hookman> 阿
[07:14] <hookman> sorry
[07:14] <Decepticon> wo shi zhongguo ren
[07:15] <anewson> cmyk: still around? any idea how i can get hardy to see my sda when i boot?
[07:15] <Indoctrine> !ch | hookman
[07:15] <Indoctrine> Bah
[07:15] <Indoctrine> Stupid bot
[07:15] <anewson> lol
[07:15] <iNutshell> Decepticon: me too
[07:15] <Decepticon> iNutshell not really, thats all the chinese i remember how to say
[07:15] <Decepticon> kinda heard to learn that language.
[07:16] <ziroday> Decepticon: you will need to download restricted drivers, a wizard will guide you through that procedure. There are opensource nvidia drivers which also support those cards
[07:16] <ziroday> !nvidia | Decepticon this is the procedure to install the drivers
[07:16] <iNutshell> Decepticon: :)
[07:16] <anewson> cmyk: it's something to do with the partition table right? hardy got installed on an old partition table? how do i 'refresh' it?
[07:18] <Decepticon> ziroday well okay, so ill have to do this via ssh, but once i do install the correct drivers, will the desktop that appears, will it be much different from a desktop that wouldve resulted from a install with a supported video card
[07:18] <Decepticon> and out of the box
[07:19] <Decepticon> is there any first time hardware recognizing or configuring done on the first appearance of the desktop? by gnome or otherwise?
[07:19] <hansoffate> hi, i got a problem with apache2.  I'm getting a 403 Forbidden error when trying to access a newly made cgi-bin folder (just trying out some perl cgi).    Anyone got any ideas?
[07:19] <hansoffate> btw, i made a forum thread here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=953206
[07:20] <william56> hey, i've got an "ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia" sound card, and it worked immediately after a fresh install, but the sound is barely above a whisper with my media player and system's volume controls maxed out
[07:20] <ziroday> Decepticon: it would be the same. and yes there is a little balloon pops up informing you that you need to install drivers
[07:20] <kingsofleon> long time since i used apache but edit httpd.conf
[07:20] <kingsofleon> and setup permissions in there
[07:20] <mc_art> www.google
[07:20] <Decepticon> ziroday, and that wouldve happen with either my situation or a straight out of the box supported videocard
[07:20] <william56> anyone know anything that might help me?
[07:20] <kingsofleon> ati isn't that good with ubuntu man
[07:21] <ziroday> Decepticon: the popup only appears if there is restricted drivers needed
[07:21] <deathdotcom> hey can anybody tell me how to get the view where i can see the cube not just rotate it
[07:21] <mc_art> www.google
[07:21] <ziroday> mc_art: please stop.
[07:21] <hansoffate> kingsofleon: thanks for the help.  i'll check it out.
[07:21] <MHz128> Can anyone recommend any fun multiplayer games that anren't very graphics intensive?
[07:22] <Indoctrine> MHz128: FPS?
[07:22] <mc_art> www.dot frenster
[07:22] <Decepticon> ziroday, how do i see the desktop so that this popup can come up and inform me to install drivers seeing that i have a unsupported video card
[07:22] <MHz128> Indoctrine, anything, as long as it will play with onboard video
[07:22] <Decepticon> do i switch to vesa in some xorg.config
[07:22] <ziroday> MHz128: strategy game, or shooting game?
[07:22] <MHz128> ziroday, either! i only have a Celeron 2ghz 512mb ram
[07:23] <Indoctrine> MHz128: I play UrbanTerror occasionally on onboard graphics (laptop)
[07:23] <ziroday> Decepticon: no, you can take a look at the wizard, its in System > Administrator > Hardware Drivers
[07:23] <Decepticon> i dont have a gui ziroday
[07:23] <kingsofleon> does anyone here use virtualbox?
[07:23] <Decepticon> im trying to get a gui
[07:23] <MHz128> Indoctrine, cool, is there a buntu package for UrbanTerror?
[07:23] <ziroday> Decepticon: so you are trying to get a gui, and your card is?
[07:23] <Irreducibilis_> MHz128: Quake III Arena
[07:23] <kingsofleon> you can play quake 3 arena on linux??
[07:24] <Irreducibilis_> I am pretty sure it runs in wine
[07:24] <Indoctrine> MHz128: No, their site gives info on adding the program to your repos though
[07:24] <rogan> mc_art: stop with the links
[07:24] <rli> register rli
[07:24] <MHz128> Indoctrine, cool ill check it out
[07:25] <Decepticon> ziroday yes im tryin to get a gui, my videocard is geforce fx 5200 via svideo
[07:25] <Indoctrine> !games | MHz128
[07:25] <Decepticon> im looking at the console via my tv via svideo out on the fx 5200
[07:25] <Decepticon> ziroday ^^
[07:25] <ziroday> Decepticon: did you follow the instructions I have you?
[07:26] <ziroday> !nvidia | Decepticon
[07:26] <deathdotcom_> does anyone know how to get the cube out away from the screen so you can see the skydome mine just rotates up close and its kinda annoying
[07:26] <Decepticon> ziroday, that guide assumes i have a gui
[07:26] <Decepticon> "The easiest way to install binary drivers is to use the built in Hardware Drivers manager in Ubuntu. In Hardy and newer, this is found under System->Administration->Hardware Drivers. In older supported versions (Feisty and Gutsy) it is called Restricted Driver Manager and is found at System->Administration->Restricted Driver Manager. "
[07:27] <Decepticon> i dont have no gui to go to the Hardware Drivers manger
[07:27] <ziroday> deathdotcom_: you can edit the zoom setting in the cube settings area
[07:27] <kingsofleon> deception.... are you at a command prompt trying to configure xorg to recognize your fx5200 card?
[07:27] <deathdotcom_> where is the cube settings area
[07:27] <deathdotcom_> ?
[07:27] <rli> where i can get some help on mutt in emacs?
[07:28] <ziroday> !ccsm | deathdotcom_
[07:28] <Azhi_Dahaka> hmm... I want this process to be killed in 4 hours, is there a way to do from the cli?
[07:28] <kingsofleon> deception.... have you tried 'dpkg -reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg'?
[07:29] <jim_p> Azhi_Dahaka: at 11.30 killall firefox
[07:29] <bastid_raZor> Decepticon; http://pastebin.com/ff745021    .. i have the same card and i use svideo .. check my xorg out. it should help
[07:29] <Decepticon> kingsofleon ill try it
[07:29] <Decepticon> bastid_raZor, do you use your tv as a monitor?
[07:29] <jim_p> Azhi_Dahaka: i am not sure about the 100% correct of the syntax
[07:29] <tyberion_> Please define INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME to point to a suitable JVM.
[07:29] <tyberion_> You can also try to delete the JVM cache file /home/syntax/.install4j
[07:29] <bastid_raZor> Decepticon; yes
[07:29] <Decepticon> i have no internal graphics so all i have is this fx 5200 and a tv
[07:29] <Decepticon> bastid_raZor cool thanks, ill try it out
[07:29] <tyberion_> hm how do  I do this..? to find out where my JVM is located?
[07:33] <Azhi_Dahaka> are you sure, jim_p?
[07:33] <Azhi_Dahaka> the man page doesn't seem to help a lot
[07:33] <hateball> Hmm, is the PPA for Openoffice 3 supposed to be working? Because for me it doesnt seem to be
[07:34] <Kartagis> hi
[07:34] <jim_p> Azhi_Dahaka: i am not sure about the syntax:(
[07:34] <Decepticon> kingsofleon typing 'dpkg -reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' gives a error: dpkg: conflicting actions -e (--control) and -r (--removee)
[07:34] <Decepticon> kingsofleon is that the correct command?
[07:34] <coil> dpkg-reconfigure
[07:34] <Decepticon> dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[07:34] <kingsofleon> ah sorry yeah no space :)
[07:34] <Decepticon> thats how?
