[20:10] <void_pointer> pirx I use postfix myself
[20:10] <mostafa_> erUSUL: I can't do that can you help me with this http://paste.ubuntu.com/286441/
[20:10] <mintygood> yeah I know what wine is, I just don't want to pay 125 for the student license :)
[20:11] <pradeep> suspend and sleep functions no longer work in my laptop how to fix it?
[20:11] <Brandano> mintygood: well, you'd have to pay them on win32, why shouldn't you have to pay them on Ubuntu?
[20:11] <Jill> how can i open port in my ubuntu 8.04?
[20:11] <Brandano> mintygood: say you want an OSS alternative to Maple, whatever that is
[20:11] <rsk> Jill: not with ubuntu, that is done in your router/modem
[20:12] <mintygood> I don't want to pay them at all, I want an open source equivalent
[20:12] <void_pointer> pirx easy to config. I use it with courier-pop and courier-imap
[20:12] <gues2> Hi guys! I have a problem with a virus, can anyone help me?
[20:12] <King> Help. How can I create an ssh tunnel to share internet between computer A and B. Where Computer A has two nics, nic1 is connected to the internet, and nic2 is connected to a private net with machine B.
[20:12] <mintygood> and I did say that
[20:12] <mintygood> or clearly implied that at least
[20:12] <Jill> rsk: Interesting ports on localhost (<IP_ADDRESS>):
[20:12] <Jill> Not shown: 1699 closed ports
[20:12] <mintygood> if I wanted to pay I would have already paid lol
[20:12] <losha> pirx: the front end (the mail application the user sees, i.e. the client) and the back end (the part which takes mail and delivers it, i.e. the server) are usually two separate/independent pieces. Do you need a front end, a back end, or both?
[20:12] <Astray> Is anybody else having problems adding keys from the keyserver?  All my attempts to add a key have been timing out
[20:12] <txukie> hi
[20:12] <livingroom> using nvidia restricted drivers....where is config file...and its not "/etc/x11"  ???
[20:13] <txukie> is there a channel for karmic related issues?
[20:13] <Flannel> txukie: #ubuntu+1
[20:13] <Astray> livingroom: You have to capitalize the X in X11
[20:13] <txukie> thanks
[20:13] <void_pointer> Jill uh, ports are opened when you run a service that listens on the port. What exactly are you trying to do?
[20:14] <void_pointer> losha he said MTA to deliver, so I guess he wants an MTA .. like postfix
[20:14] <livingroom> using nvidia restricted drivers....where is config file...and its not "/etc/X11"  ???
[20:14] <Jill> void_pointer: i am trying to configure my transmission
[20:14] <losha> King: you need to run an ssh server on one machine and the ssh client on the other.
[20:14] <MrElendig> livingroom: creat it yourself
[20:14] <MrElendig> livingroom: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[20:14] <Scoup> how can i do to use /etc/init.d/networking restart on no root user access?
[20:14] <pirx> losha: back end, MTA
[20:14] <Jill> void_pointer: in options dialog it shows port status "closed"
[20:14] <void_pointer> Jill configure what transmission?
[20:14] <livingroom> there is one there but doesnt have resolution settings in it
[20:14] <losha> void_pointer: he also mentioned sending text, body & attachments, so I wasn't sure.
[20:14] <erUSUL> mostafa_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/286445/
[20:14] <void_pointer> pirx as I said, postfix is a good, easy one to set up
[20:15] <void_pointer> losha yeah, i was just reminding you :)
[20:15] <King> losha, i understand that. however, how do I bridge the ssh tunnel with the 2 nics??
[20:15] <Jill> void_pointer: software "transmission" =)
[20:15] <pradeep> suspend and sleep functions no longer work in my laptop how to fix it?
[20:15] <Jill> void_pointer: to fast download new linux distro from torrent
[20:15] <King> losha, will the tunnel automaticly tunnel itnernet traffic through the nic connected to the internet??
[20:15] <emre> I've successfully joined to an ads with likewise but I can't connect to internet?
[20:15] <void_pointer> Jill I don't know what you are talking about. So I'll give you an example. If you run a http server (like apache) on your machine, you will see port 80, and maybe port 443 openedup
[20:15] <emre> What should I do?
[20:16] <void_pointer> Jill well that doesn't involve you opening any ports
[20:16] <void_pointer> King you might have to statically route between the NICs
[20:16] <MrElendig> livingroom: that's normal
[20:17] <maestrojed> If I am looking at a piece of software that lists its OS compatibility with Debian, FreeBSD, REDHAT, Gentoo. How should I feel? Would you think it would run on Ubuntu? http://www.gplhost.com/software-dtc_4oscompatibility.html
[20:17] <void_pointer> Jill so forget about the idea of opening ports :)
[20:17] <pradeep> anyone know's the solution?
[20:17] <losha> King: it will only tunnel automatically if you've configured the 2-nic machine to do so. I think you're talking about internet connection sharing (ics). See below:
[20:17] <MrElendig> you can use nvidia-settigns to change the resolution, and save it to the config
[20:17] <losha> !irc
[20:17] <losha> !ics
[20:17] <MrElendig> or you can read `man xorg.conf` and add it by hand
[20:18] <losha> King: See the second msg from ubutto above...
[20:18] <Jill> void_pointer: sometimes its too hard to understand for me
[20:18] <thefirstdude> using eric4 ide how do I get rid of those blue boxes
[20:18] <livingroom> wont let me change the settings    only option is 1280x1024
[20:18] <MrElendig> livingroom: also see `man nvidia-settings`
[20:18] <losha> pirx: are you sorted re: an MTA now?
[20:19] <void_pointer> Jill ok. What exactly do you want to do?
[20:19] <daevski> Anyone know why my laptop is not seeing my desktop in network:/// (both ubuntu 9.04)
[20:19] <livingroom> thanks will try that
[20:19] <mostafa_> erUSUL: OK then how can I patch to the unmodified file? when I type patch -p1 < file.patch
[20:19] <gues2> Help! Im Sharing a folder with several windows user, is there a way to denny permision so the cannnot write .exe files on my share?
[20:19] <mostafa_> erUSUL: it  doesn't work
[20:19] <Jill> void_pointer: ill show you
[20:19] <daevski> I just created a shared folder but it's not seen :(
[20:19] <King> losha, thank you, so I tunnel into machine a, and bridge nic1 and nic2 and it should work?
[20:19] <erUSUL> mostafa_: you do not need the -p1 in this case
[20:19] <ifloresr01> ALGUIEN ESPAÑOL JEJJEJEJEE
[20:19] <frostburn> How does one quickly change konsole tabs? (alt 1 2 3 in gnome-term, firefox, etc)
[20:19] <erUSUL> !es | ifloresr01
[20:20] <mostafa_> erUSUL: what should I do then?
[20:20] <gues2> anyone!
[20:20] <erUSUL> mostafa_: patch < file.patch
[20:20] <losha> King: as I understand it, if you bridge nic1 & nic2, you can ssh directly from the client to anywhere on the internet...
[20:20] <void_pointer> King you will have to set up forwarding. I do it in an iptables script, but I'm sure there is an ubuntu, GUI way. If you want to know how to do it in iptables I'll pastebin my script
[20:20] <erUSUL> mostafa_: also the filenames of the files have to be the same i used here
[20:20] <King> losha, if I bridge the two nics will that provide internet access for all comps on the private net?? I only want to provide access for clients that tunnel into it.
[20:20] <erUSUL> mostafa_: i used 1.txt and 2.txt as you can see from the patch
[20:20] <King> void_pointer, I am familiar with bridgue_utils

[20:21] <mostafa_> erUSUL: K let me check
[20:21] <void_pointer> Jill if what you are going to show is a lot of lines, pastebin it
[20:21] <gues2> Is it possible to do it?

[20:21] <eddy_> whats a channel for web hosting ?  im having trouble with port forwarding
[20:21] <gues2> can anyone point me in the rigth direction?
[20:22] <diogo_79> guys
[20:22] <daevski> gues2: you can research windows shared folder permissions on google.com
[20:22] <ifloresr01> HOLAHOLAHOLAHELLOW
[20:22] <diogo_79> i am having some problem with my ubuntu 9.04 64 bits
[20:22] <LjL> ifloresr01: stop.
[20:22] <guntbert> ifloresr01: stop that please
[20:22] <daevski> gues2: it sounds like you want to lock down a windows folder, no?
[20:22] <diogo_79> some times it stops responding
[20:22] <losha> King: you can arrange it that only packets from selected clients can be bridged, but the config is cumbersome. Instead, how about forget about bridging, force clients to ssh into A and then let the ssh again from A to the internet. It's not a slick as bridging, but it's much easier to config...
[20:22] <diogo_79> i dont know why
[20:23] <diogo_79> can some one help me?
[20:23] <pirx> losha: googling to see what i need to conf in postfix:
[20:23] <pirx> :)
[20:23] <fwaokda> is it possible to disable word wrap in terminal?
[20:23] <ifloresr01> :d
[20:23] <gues2> thanks daevski but is a linux folder
[20:23] <ifloresr01> .D.S
[20:23] <void_pointer> Jill ah ok. I'm not familiar with exactly what you are doing, but it seems your firewall is blocking that port. Do you use firestarter or whatever it is?
[20:23] <fwaokda> temporarily
[20:23] <diogo_79> this some times happen when i use firefox and virtualbox
[20:23] <infexion> anyone know what program is being used to let you control your volume via your keyboard?
[20:23] <Sala> hey
[20:23] <Jill> void_pointer: how to know?
[20:23] <diogo_79> here can i find what is causing this instability?
[20:23] <ifloresr01> CHAO
[20:23] <void_pointer> King I'd take losha's advice on that
[20:23] <ifloresr01> chao
[20:23] <Sala> I have a wubi problem. Have run both 9.04 and 9
[20:23] <ifloresr01> xao
[20:24] <rsk> klao
[20:24] <ifloresr01> xao
[20:24] <King> losha, so. . . ssh into nic1 on the private side. then ssh a second time into nic2?? how would i do that??
[20:24] <ifloresr01> xao
[20:24] <ifloresr01> xaox

[20:24] <bp> to see apple quicktime trailers? should i use totem or vlc browser plugin?
[20:24] <losha> pirx: I have to go. If postfix doesn't suit you, there are some very simple MTAs like ssmtp that will just dump all your mail to a smart relay e.g. gmail and require almost no configuration to work...
[20:24] <bp> ?
[20:24] <daevski> gues2: should be able to set it up by right clicking the folder and going to Properties> Share and unchecking the box that allows users to write to tat dir
[20:24] <erUSUL> !ops | ifloresr01
[20:24] <pirx> losha: thanks!
[20:25] <fwaokda> is it possible to *temporarily disable word wrap in terminal?
[20:25] <mostafa_> erUSUL: very nice of you thnx then how do you make this file?
[20:25] <TheAshMan> i recently install the ATI proprietary drivers and they didnt work. How can i completely remove them and ati catalyst as reset my my original graphics
[20:25] <losha> King: no, client on B sshes into A via nic2, then from A he can ssh anywhere on the internet via nic1...
[20:25] <Sala> I have a wubi problem. Have run both 9.04 and 9.10 installations, both fail at the same part. Im missing menu.ltr file in boot folder. As result im not able to boot to ubuntu (i can see ubuntu in windows bootloader) as it stops either on grub (9.10) or on some other console (9-04). Any ideas? Running Windows 7, have tried Vista compactability mode.
[20:25] <daevski> gues2: you can also use "chown" and "chmod" to change the permissions in cli (command line)
[20:26] <erUSUL> mostafa_: diff -u 1.txt 2.txt > patch.file
[20:26] <erUSUL> mostafa_: i said that to you multiple times already
[20:26] <mostafa_> erUSUL: really excuse me but when I do this by myself i try this :

[20:27] <erUSUL> mostafa_: i do not see any error msg in what you wrotte... do not see any problem
[20:27] <erUSUL> ?
[20:28] <eddy_> Help w/ port forwarding please!  I login to router, & want to do forward 80 to anything else.  But all it says is ""start #" & "end #...   ?

[20:28] <King> eddy_, start port = "80" end port = "80" then forward to your ip
[20:29] <mostafa_> erUSUL: anyway thank you bro you are so patient to me
[20:29] <eddy_> oooh ok
[20:29] <eddy_> ty
[20:29] <erUSUL> mostafa_: no problem
[20:29] <mostafa_> erUSUL: ;)
[20:30] <Keiya> Has anyone gotten evolution-mapi to work?
[20:31] <Sala> as i dont have any clues left (i binged) and forums only seem to adress issuses with beta of windows 7 im kinda worried if wubi is working at all on x64 bit system. maybe someone can just share menu.lst file for 9.10 wubi installation of ubuntu?
[20:31] <DrOnline> Hi, is the netboot image considered to be just as 'official' as the other installation methods?  If I have a problem with it, should I file a bug or should I just try again with a 'better' way of doing things?

[20:43] <dariocaruso> hi!
[20:43] <trijntje> kraito, I dont know what your problem is. Please describe it in one reaction without any <enter>.
[20:44] <mikinanuq> Sala: hmm I don't have a dualboot but I can paste my default menu.lst to pastebin, that might help you.
[20:44] <dariocaruso> please i have a trouble with the resolution
[20:44] <dariocaruso> of my pc
[20:44] <trijntje> Hi dariocaruso
[20:44] <Ouvre_boite> #Venez_tous
[20:44] <trijntje> !enter | dariocaruso
[20:44] <dariocaruso> i want to put a resolution over 640x480
[20:44] <kraito> trijntje: what do you mean
[20:44] <mikinanuq> slyder: I have a sis chipset, you need to set it as your driver in xorg.conf.
[20:44] <durt> kraito, sounds like you have more than one instance of update manager/synaptic running stop one and try again
[20:44] <dariocaruso> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/286457/
[20:44] <trijntje> draito: repeat your question in one line plz
[20:44] <mikinanuq> slyder: I think the driver is installed by default.
[20:45] <kraito> durt: i haven't started any could their be something in the background or something?
[20:46] <durt> kraito, yes, or you have a stale lock file that needs to be removed.
[20:46] <Fenix|work> Greetings and salutations.
[20:46] <dariocaruso> ok. i have a resolution now of 640x480. I want to have a resolution of 1024x768. I use an old nvidia card and i have ever used the monitor with 1024x768
[20:46] <Fenix|work> How does one move /var into an LVM after the fact?
[20:47] <durt> !lvm | Fenix|work
[20:47] <kraito> durt: how do i do this?
[20:47] <wal3> does anyone know if USB headsets are supported by ubuntu? http://shop.skype.com/intl/de/headsets/iss-talk-5115-everyman-headset.html
[20:48] <Fenix|work> durt, I have no problem with creating the LVM.  I've already installed and want to move /var into the LVM.
[20:48] <durt> kraito, first run system manager or top in a terminal to see if update-manager or apt-check or something is currently running
[20:48] <Sala_> yes i can, as its wubi based installation, its just a folder on my c:/ drives
[20:48] <th0ger> Hi, could someone please try if they can see flash on this page: http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/e90b813d#/e90b813d/1 ... It tells me that my flash version is too old, and quickly displays a grey page.

[20:49] <th0ger> I have the newest flash player (adobe-flashplugin <IP_ADDRESS>-1jaunty1)
[20:50] <trijntje> dariocaruso, what happened when you could no longer use the high resolution?
[20:50] <jemark> th0ger, how did you get it?
[20:50] <dariocaruso> this is the pc of my neighbour
[20:50] <th0ger> jemark: aptitude
[20:50] <p1ckLe> what's a reason that ubuntu would freeze during installation?
[20:51] <kraito> durt, nothing was running
[20:51] <trijntje> !who | dariocaruso
[20:51] <guntbert> Fenix|work: I suggest you do it from a live CD
[20:51] <frostburn> p1ckLe, bad cd would do that
[20:51] <trijntje> dariocaruso, so you dont know what happened? what have you tried to get the resolution working again?
[20:51] <frostburn> p1ckLe, or if installing to flash, it may take longer
[20:52] <Jill> how to enable (open) ports?
[20:52] <Fenix|work> guntbert, k... will do
[20:52] <pradeep> ubottu:suspend and sleep functions no longer work in my laptop how to fix it?
[20:52] <dariocaruso> @ trijntje  this is not my pc. i have installed now ubuntu on another pc. with closed nvidia driver abilitated
[20:52] <p1ckLe> frostburn: i did the test cd for defects, and test memory, both passed with flying colors.
[20:52] <durt> kraito, try to do what you wish to, install or update again, then if you get the same error, remove the lock file.
[20:53] <slyder> sorry, can anyone help me? i'm noob in using ubuntu... i installed ubuntu 9.04.... i need driver for sis 671 chipset
[20:53] <trijntje> dariocaruso, you are confusing me.
[20:53] <frostburn> p1ckLe, let it sit for a while, i've 30meg isos take 40 minutes to install before, shrug
[20:53] <kraito> durt, how do i remove the lock file and what are the disadvantage
[20:53] <p1ckLe> frostburn: ill try that, ty
[20:54] <mikinanuq> Jill: you probably have a router to connect you to the internet. This router probably has a firewall integrated to it
[20:54] <dariocaruso> trijntje:  so scuse me for my english.. i tell you that i'm secure that the monitor can use higher resolution then 640x480, because i use ever it. But now, with another pc i have this problem
[20:54] <Welshy-Rob> hi i want to turn my pc into a web server for 1 web page and i need help :) im new to web server stuff but i currently a confidant user of ubuntu 8.10
[20:54] <kraito> durt, it said there was something else running. would that have something to do with the lock?
[20:55] <frostburn> p1ckLe, if it's a live cd, pop open a terminal and watch top and iostat to make sure stuff is being written
[20:55] <dariocaruso> trijntje: my xorg is this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/286457/
[20:55] <trijntje> dariocaruso, what country are you from? maybe there is a channel in your language where you can get help
[20:55] <durt> kraito, are you absolutely sure nothing is running?....yes that's the point of the lock file so two things can't update/install at the same time.
[20:55] <p1ckLe> frostburn: it freezes before i can do anything.
[20:55] <p1ckLe> frostburn: i cant even move the mouse.
[20:55] <p1ckLe> frostburn: or open the cd drive.. everything freezes.
[20:56] <shawn_> Hmm Im using the sleep(int) function from the GASP module but its only letting me use ints.. meaning no decimals is there any way to get around this and use decimals?
[20:56] <frostburn> p1ckLe, oh... hmm,, how much ram does the box have?
[20:56] <kraito> durt, i would know were to look but were you told me too already
[20:56] <p1ckLe> only 128.
[20:56] <p1ckLe> its a p3 900mhz 128mb
[20:56] <dariocaruso> trijntje: scuse me but in italian channel i often help other, but now i don't find anyone that help me
[20:57] <wyatt> holas....
[20:57] <frostburn> p1ckLe, yeah, i've had installs fail at 256mb, you might need to find an alternative means of installation... like popping the hdd into a device with more ram if possible then moving it back out again
[20:57] <wyatt> alguien esta programando en gambas???
[20:57] <kraito> durt, wait one i think it's working now
[20:58] <durt> kraito, if there was update running in the background be aware that the archives can be very slow due to the karmic beta release.
[20:58] <th0ger> Hi, could someone please try if they can see flash on this page: http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/e90b813d#/e90b813d/1 (in firefox) It says my flash version is too old. I have the newest flash player (adobe-flashplugin <IP_ADDRESS>-1jaunty1) installed with apt-get. about:plugins shows the libflashplayer.so (10.0 r32).
[20:59] <trijntje> dariocaruso, I see. What have you tried so far to get the resolution working?
[20:59] <subito> hi, whenever i want to launch Qsynth with alsa as an audio driver i get "failed to create the audio driver" and "failed to open the /dev/audio audio device"; i can only launch using jack as an audio driver
[20:59] <kraito> durt, yes it's working now thanks for the help. this community is really as good as they say.
[20:59] <durt> np
[20:59] <p1ckLe> frostburn: ahhh.. Makes sense. I only have a laptop available, is there a way to hook a hdd (if its an internal) to the laptop? or is that not possible?
[21:00] <guntbert> !es | wyatt
[21:00] <wyatt> thanks
[21:00] <Sala_> Help! I have problem with WUBI. Have tested both 9.04 and 9.10. Both fail at creating "menu.lst" file on boot folder (note that installation completes with no errors). As a result im unable to boot to ubuntu (however it does create ubuntu option on Windows bootloader) as it gets stuck on Grub. Im running Windows 7 RTM X64, EFI based system, ran installations both with and without Windows...
[21:00] <Sala_> ...Vista compactability mode. I have already binged for ansfers (but with no results as you can see).
[21:01] <frostburn> p1ckLe, yeah, you can get usb to laptop adapters off newegg or amazon for less than $10
[21:02] <switchgirl> anyone for a game of urban terror?
[21:02] <p1ckLe> frostburn: awesome.. thanks for ur help, i imagine thats what it is, not enough ram. i think i can get a stick of ram for that box for cheap as well. thanks again.
[21:02] <dariocaruso> trijntje:i have never tried with this pc!! this is not my pc, this is firt time that on this pc someone put ubuntu inside!
[21:03] <einstein1969> !it
[21:03] <trijntje> dariocaruso, go to system -> administration -> resolution
[21:04] <trijntje> dariocaruso, system -> preferences -> that should be

[21:05] <Tigernose> gd
[21:05] <Tigernose> ds
[21:06] <trijntje> mezquitale, have you checked if the port is reachable?
[21:06] <zvacet> panteley : did you tried under system<admin>hardware drivers
[21:06] <xtsuname> hi, is there any USB tv-tuners that works magically on Ubuntu?
[21:06] <xtsuname> just thought I ask in the case there is such a tool
[21:06] <xtsuname> hardware*
[21:06] <mezquitale> trijntje, at home I checked everything, the port was reachable but I still couldnt download and now I'm in the library and can't get a connection using Transmission client
[21:07] <forceflow> xtsuname: I've got a pinnacle dvb-t stick that works out of the box
[21:07] <Sala_> Help! I have problem with WUBI. Have tested both 9.04 and 9.10. Both fail at creating "menu.lst" file on boot folder (note that installation completes with no errors).

[21:07] <mezquitale> !mythbuntu
[21:07] <trijntje> mezquitale, I would guess that the library blocks almost all ports on their network
[21:07] <xtsuname> forceflow, pinnacle? is it USB?
[21:07] <einstein1969> hi
[21:07] <forceflow> yeah
[21:07] <xtsuname> I have pinnacle e800
[21:07] <trijntje> !wubi | Sala_
[21:08] <xtsuname> like when u say out of the box so plug and play works?
[21:08] <trijntje> mezquitale, how did you check if you port was reachable?
[21:08] <rob0917> I live in the United States and I just purchased the fluendo full playback pack in the ubuntu store ,but I  can't get quicktime files to play.Could someone help?
[21:08] <xtsuname> rob0917, try smplayer, mplayer, movieplayer and vlc
[21:08] <mezquitale> trijntje, i used utilities on the client to test for the port, all tests came ok yet i still couldnt connect using the bit torrent client
[21:09] <xtsuname> forceflow, did you have to install anything at all?
[21:09] <rob0917> ok
[21:09] <rob0917> thanks
[21:09] <xtsuname> oh rob0917 return ur product
[21:09] <xtsuname> u prob just got ripped off
[21:09] <forceflow> xtsuname: me-tv, that's a gnome dvb player
[21:09] <trijntje> mezquitale, transmission is working fine here. What client are you using?
[21:09] <rob0917> why
[21:09] <xtsuname> forceflow, not mythTV?
[21:09] <forceflow> that's a bit too full-blown for what I wanted to do with it
[21:09] <xtsuname> rob0917, cuz mplayer and vlc and totem play almost everything
[21:10] <rob0917> great
[21:10] <einstein1969> i have a problem with gparted and the partition table. I speek a very little english.
[21:10] <xtsuname> forceflow, are you able to check whether e800 works with it?
[21:10] <mezquitale> trijntje, im using Transmission, I will try from home then because I'm in the library right now and have no control of the port to use
[21:10] <TheVenerableZ> I have two 22" monitors, one VGA and one DVI. I'm looking to upgrade my video card. Which one should I get for compiz?
[21:10] <SteveHill> I was playing with the "Console display settings" app, and now can't seem to get it off my panels.  How to I kill the app.  Rebooting doesn't help.
[21:10] <Sala_> trijntje i am aware of what wubi is. im looking for support here for a simple menu.lst missing problem.
[21:10] <cq> hello, if I want to do a bash script with     cmd="echo blah >> file.txt"                            and then '$cmd' on the next line, which part of the echo command do I need to quote how? I keep getting script.sh: 12:blah: not found
[21:11] <trijntje> mezquitale, I think a public place is a bad location to test bittorrent programs
[21:11] <cq> on the line where I try to execute teh command
[21:11] <soreau> TheVenerableZ: New Radeon card should work nicely with the open drivers
[21:11] <mikinanuq> Sala_: there are plenty of sample menu.lst out on the net
[21:11] <TheVenerableZ> cq: why are you doing cmd=. why not just echo ...
[21:11] <mezquitale> trijntje, i already tried it at home, I can't figure out why it wont work at home
[21:12] <cq> TheVenerableZ: so I can do an error check easily with if ! `$cmd`; then echo "$cmd failed... exiting."; exit 1; fi
[21:12] <f00f> hey guys i had network-manager set up with ubuntu 9 but i needed iptables to run which ended up in a conflict. Now i'm trying to set up the /etc/network/interfaces with two static ip's and i'm having problems accessing the internet... Not i have 2 interfaces eth0 which is an internal LAN(having a 192.168 etc...) and eth1 which will have the inet and external static ip (you kno regular class c)... Can anyone help me in getting this
[21:13] <trijntje> Sala_: I understand that, I think the problem is that win7 is not supported
[21:13] <Sala_> mikinanuq, as its wubi, its virtual disk not real partition, making sample menu.lst useless. Fount one really old sample menu.lst but its not working. Anyone got working 9.10 wubi menu.lst?
[21:13] <TheVenerableZ> cp: did you try putting the blah in single quotes?
[21:13] <TheVenerableZ> cq: do you know which model that is?
[21:13] <Sala_> trijntje i dont see any fundamental shifts from vista +  i ran it on vista compactability mode. cant i just copy menu.lst?
[21:13] <TheVenerableZ> sorry, soreau: do you know which model that is?
[21:14] <trijntje> mezquitale, I understand that, I'm not sure what is causing your problems
[21:14] <Sala_> if i cloud get 9.10 wubi menu.lst config file i cloud maybe boot to ubuntu. its worth a try heh?
[21:14] <trijntje> Sala_, I think that what wubi does has little to do with vista compatibilty mode
[21:14] <mezquitale> trijntje, i changed the port to use a random port, restarted the client and voila!  I am downloading!!!  I'm going to check at home and see if I get the same result
[21:15] <cq> TheVenerableZ: same problem: cmd="echo 'cert $clientname.cert' >> $tmpdir/config/$clientname.ovpn"
[21:15] <mikinanuq> f00f: you may need to look into route tables to get it right
[21:15] <trijntje> mezquitale, nice. Maybe it was a tracker problem
[21:15] <einstein1969> i have a problem with gparted and the partition table. I speek a very little english. help me.
[21:15] <cq> foof: start with route -an and see if your routes are right for the two IPs ...
[21:16] <mikinanuq> f00f: so your route of last resort (<IP_ADDRESS>) points to your external card
[21:16] <elops> Where can i find the DNS SOA record file in ubuntu ?
[21:16] <ikonia> elops: are you running a dns server ?

[21:17] <elops> ikonia: yes

[21:17] <einstein1969> how to backup MBR (Partition table) and EBR (Logical partition)?

[21:19] <einstein1969> there is anyone for help me?
[21:19] <mikinanuq> einstein1969: you may need to look in to the "dd" command if you know what blocks you need that should get it for you
[21:19] <f00f> mikinanuq: http://pastie.org/642787
[21:20] <bucky> f00f, what's your nameserver?
[21:20] <SteveHill> I was playing with the "Console display settings" app, and now can't seem to get it off my panels. How to I kill the app. Rebooting doesn't help.
[21:21] <einstein1969> mikinanuq, there is a program for this. I have corrupt the partition table with fdisk (order command). The gparted is unusable...
[21:21] <f00f> bucky: no idea :)
[21:21] <HappyHobo> there are too many viewers
[21:21] <bucky> f00f, ping -c 3 <IP_ADDRESS>   does that drop the pings?
[21:21]  * ^Einstein chuckles at the unlikely ping
[21:21] <shawn_> In Ubuntu is there any way to have Evolution mail just minimize to the task bar but not close... Like Pidgin does?

[21:22] <f00f> hrmm
[21:22] <f00f> dan1: yur nub arent you ?
[21:22] <dan1> yup
[21:22] <dan1> I am
[21:22] <dan1> not here to date, have sex, or find out age sex and location
[21:23] <dan1> but would love to have some help
[21:23] <durt> dan1, just ask
[21:23] <dan1> thanks
[21:23] <f00f> ask away
[21:23] <dabukalam> I have a 64-bit server with 3 hard disks. Two are empty, and one is in use. I want to use JBOD RAID to merge the 3 hard disks and make one folder. How is this possible?
[21:23] <dan1> I have 2 systems using ubuntu jaunty
[21:23] <dabukalam> !ask | dan1
[21:23] <ikonia> dan1: instead of making pointless and slightly uncalled for speaches and sexual reference ask your technical question
[21:23] <dan1> suddenly both printers are printing with wrong colors
[21:23] <eziolana_> ciao a tutti
[21:23] <vox> dabukalam: with "mdadm"
[21:24] <SteveHill> Dan1: try to put your whole question in one transmission.
[21:24] <dan1> they worked fine before
[21:24] <vox> dabukalam: there's plenty of how-to's if you google it
[21:24] <durt> dan1, full question all at once, please.
[21:24] <ikonia> dabukalam: you need to have the disks you want to make raid with sepereate from the disks you want to make an array from
[21:24] <ikonia> dabukalam: what raid level do you want to create
[21:24] <dabukalam> vox: it's a GUI app?
[21:24] <vox> dabukalam: no
[21:24] <mgv1> how can i block a program from accessing the internet?
[21:24] <ikonia> mgv1: firewall
[21:24] <CaptainCanuck> if i have an external drive (ext3) and i want to mount it on another linux box where i dont have root access, what should i put into /etc/fstab?
[21:25] <dabukalam> vox: so it's CLI. but you're sure it supports JBOD?
[21:25] <CaptainCanuck> specifically the mount options
[21:25] <mgv1> ikonia, but how to set a program to be blocked?
[21:25] <bucky> f00f, i think it's trying to connect thru eth1 and the static settings aren't right like you can't have an ip addy like <IP_ADDRESS> with a network like <IP_ADDRESS> or something like that
[21:25] <ikonia> CaptainCanuck: you can't put it into /etc/fstab without root access
[21:25] <mikinanuq> f00f: not sure what that 169.254... is but probably shouldn't be there.
[21:25] <dan1> I have 2 systems on ubuntu with 2 printers, both printers worked fine until maybe a week ago, now both are printing off colors, and I can't see how to reset
[21:25] <CaptainCanuck> so i cant mount at all with out root?
[21:25] <ikonia> CaptainCanuck: no
[21:25] <CaptainCanuck> without fstab perhaps?
[21:25] <ikonia> CaptainCanuck: no
[21:25] <CaptainCanuck> fck
[21:25] <mgv1> anyone can tell me what can i do about ekiga that doesnt make sound when dialed to 'wcho test'?
[21:25] <ikonia> CaptainCanuck: that language is uncalled for
[21:25] <CaptainCanuck> sorry
[21:26] <f00f> bucky: i will remove the 169.254 then
[21:26] <vox> dabukalam: yes, mdadm supports jbod. however, anything you have on any of the drives will be wiped when you create the jbod
[21:26] <XGenster> hey all
[21:26] <dabukalam> !mdadm
[21:26] <julien__> bonsoir j'ai besoin d'aide
[21:26] <f00f> bucky: i am trying to connect to the inet through eth1... so all i have to do is change around some settings and see what works... ?
[21:26] <ikonia> dabukalam: what raid level do you want to use
[21:26] <CaptainCanuck> hmm palindrome
[21:26] <dabukalam> vox: on ANY of them?
[21:26] <xiong> dan1, Your problem may not be anywhere except in your ink cartridges: Is it possible that you've just run out of ink in one or two colors?
[21:26] <dabukalam> ikonia: JBOD
[21:26] <ikonia> dabukalam: that's not a raid level, 0,1,5 ?
[21:27] <XGenster> is it possible to network 2 machines using the SATA interface ?
[21:27] <f00f> bucky: also why doesnt my eth1 and eth0 come up as soon as i restart networking ?
[21:27] <vox> ikonia: it's a form of raid.
[21:27] <vox> dabukalam: yes
[21:27] <mgv1> i still cant have spell checker in english even when ive deleted the hebrew one
[21:27] <ikonia> XGenster: I don't think there is a network over sata interface
[21:27] <dabukalam> ikonia: yes it is.
[21:27] <dan1> it's unlikely I ran out of ink, new cartriges mostly
[21:27] <dan1> one printer black prints green
[21:27] <ikonia> vox: no it's not raid
[21:28]  * vox headdesk
[21:28] <ikonia> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_RAID_levels
[21:28] <dabukalam> vox: k, i'll look around, but i'll be back if i need some extra help. thanks!
[21:28] <XGenster> ikaros: so its not possible to connect 2 motherboards to eachother using a SATA cable, then run some sort of tcp/ip over that link ?
[21:28] <jhattara> does anyone have experience with various GUI mysql admin tools ?
[21:28] <ikonia> XGenster: I've never heard of tcp over sata
[21:28] <ikonia> jhattara: I've used mysql-admin
[21:28] <vox> ikonia: i didnt say it was a standard form of raid. learn to read.
[21:28] <mgv1> shouldnt i hear something when dialing ekiga conference room?
[21:29] <XGenster> kewlo, thanks for the help ikonia
[21:29] <elops> what is port 50,51 n 631 used for?
[21:29] <ikonia> elops: look in /etc/services
[21:29] <elops> ok
[21:30] <dan1> printers worked fine until about a week ago, on one black prints as green, are there driver problems anyone knows about, ubuntu jaunty
[21:30] <dabukalam> ikonia: learn your facts before preaching. JBOD is a form of raid. It just means all the disks grouped together.
[21:30] <ikonia> dabukalam: "just a bunch of disks"
[21:30] <ikonia> dabukalam: it's not raid
[21:30] <FFEMTcJ> how can i install java to where firefox recognizes it? I installed sun-java6-jre but that didnt work
[21:30] <mgv1> there is any chat that handle ekiga problems?
[21:31] <jhattara> ikonia, can you do every imaginable management task easily with mysql-admin? and it works well?
[21:31] <guntbert> !fr | julien__
[21:31] <bucky> mgv1, there are 5 users in #ekiga
[21:31] <ikonia> jhattara: I quite like it to be honest, it's been replaced with mysql administrator, which seems very good, but I've not used it as much as mysql-admin
[21:32] <dabukalam> ikonia: fine, i don't see how this is worth arguing over
[21:32] <ikonia> dabukalam: that's why I'm not arguing
[21:32] <dan1> can anyone tell me why I can't burn 64studio or ubuntu studio I tried cd's and dvd's
[21:33] <ikonia> dan1: bad images, but if you can't burn either, most likley a software or hardware problem
[21:33] <mgv1> bucky, really? still it is open source - what do you suggest?
[21:33] <mgv1> bucky, ohh i thought you saying 5 on the network
[21:33] <dan1> don't think it's a software or hardware problem as I tried on 2 different systems
[21:34] <ikonia> dan1: then most likley bad image downloads
[21:34] <ikonia> dan1: or bad media
[21:34] <jedi06> how come i lost the sound when it loads up
[21:34] <dan1> could I have had 4 bad image downloads? 2 on each machine?
[21:34] <ikonia> dan1: your isp is corrupting them ?
[21:34] <jerkman> when i had nvidia-settings installed, its max res was 1024x768, and grandr was 1680x10509(proper). I uninstalled nvidia-settins and now grandr only goes up to 1024x768
[21:34] <robsonpeixoto> hi
[21:34] <Keiya> Hopefully I can get sugar working now...
[21:35] <dan1> not sure what you mean by isp corrupting
[21:35] <ikonia> dan1: the server you get them from is bad ?
[21:35] <robsonpeixoto> i upgraded tu Ubuntu 9.10 and GDM doesn't work. What can i do ?
[21:35] <guntbert> dan1: please clarify: were you unable to start the burning? to complete the burning? to use a burnt cd?
[21:35] <bucky> mgv1, /join #ekiga
[21:35] <dan1> god knows, I'm not savy enough to know how to find out
[21:35] <ikonia> dan1: your ISP may have hardware that is damaging the image, it's rare, but if two machines and 4 images aren't working, got to look for common factos
[21:35] <ikonia> !9.10 > robsonpeixoto
[21:35] <guntbert> !md5sum | dan1
[21:36] <mgv1> bucky, yes thanks
[21:36] <vox> dabukalam: regardless, jbod /is/ a form of raid, and mdadm is what handles raidsets under linux. do a google for "ubuntu jbod how to" or similar
[21:36] <einstein1969> mikinanuq, there is a program for this? I have corrupt the partition table with fdisk (order command). The gparted is unusable...
[21:36] <jerkman> any idea about htis graphics issue?
[21:37] <th0ger> Hi, could someone please try if they can see flash on this page: http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/e90b813d#/e90b813d/1 (in firefox) It says my flash version is too old. But, I have the newest flash player (adobe-flashplugin <IP_ADDRESS>-1jaunty1) installed with apt-get. about:plugins shows the newest libflashplayer.so (10.0 r32).
[21:37] <bucky> mgv1, just ask your question someone in here might know the answer
[21:37] <mgv1> hi, ive a problem of not hearing in ekiga
[21:37] <MOUD> when will the final release of ubuntu 9.10 be available for download?
[21:37] <Berzerker> Oct 29th.
[21:38] <PMantis> Hello! What's the "correct" way to update the symlinks in /etc/rcS.d ? There's a command that looks at all the init scripts and dependencies and creates symlinks for upstart... forget what it is. :(
[21:38] <vox> PMantis: update-rc.d
[21:38] <th0ger> PMantis: I like sysv-rc-conf but there are others
[21:38] <MOUD> thanks Berzerker
[21:39] <Berzerker> MOUD, np

[21:39] <Keiya> holy... is that /downloading two packages at once/!?
[21:39] <Keiya> I've never seen apt do that before!
[21:39] <Berzerker> oh my god I konw!
[21:39] <PMantis> vox: That seems to only be for rc[0-6].d
[21:39] <Berzerker> know*
[21:39] <Berzerker> happy karmic
[21:39] <PMantis> th0ger: Ahh, I think that's it.
[21:39] <j0nr> evening all....having difficulties.  And yes I needed to use the spontanious elite-speak to express myself.
[21:40] <j0nr> tried a 8.04 cd and got a <initramfs> prompt?!
[21:40] <j0nr> my machine is well dodgey
[21:41] <checkthebean> ok I am a newb that is going to ask a stupid question and I need an detailed answer without getting made fun uf
[21:41] <checkthebean> of
[21:41] <th0ger> PMantis: try apt-cache search sysv for others
[21:41] <ikonia> checkthebean: as long as it's ubuntu related, no-one will make fun of you
[21:41] <ikonia> checkthebean: eveyone starts somewhere
[21:41] <guntbert> j0nr: slow down please - lets start with *one* issue - what about you browser? I didn't understand quite
[21:42] <checkthebean> I need to download the 2.6.30 kernel for ubuntu, and I went to mirrors.kernel.org and I just cannot find it, so can someone please help me
[21:42] <kraito> quick question to remove a external hhd do i have to go through a safety remove process like in windows or do i just remove it?
[21:42] <trism> kraito: unmount it first, to make sure all the files you copied over are written out
[21:42] <ikonia> checkthebean: custom kernel compiles are not supported, kernel.org has all the vanilla kernels, but not one for ubuntu
[21:42] <j0nr> guntbert: sorry, bit flustered.... well it seems to be related to the fact i cannot get apt-get update to complete. this is on a fresh install of a oldish 9.04 cd
[21:42] <ikonia> checkthebean: if you are a new user you should also not be compiling kernels, why do you need that specific kernel
[21:42] <AlDoug> kraito: in your file browser, you should be able to click the unmount button
[21:42] <kraito> trism: and then just remove correct
[21:43] <trism> kraito: correct
[21:43] <mikinanuq> einstein1969: I think fdisks can fix that.. hold a sec
[21:43] <kraito> trism: ubuntu is awsome
[21:43] <j0nr> guntbert: the browser may be related, as it seems to be network related, i can get google and perform a search but then go no further. i.e. if i click on a link it wont open.
[21:43] <guntbert> j0nr: I suppose you could have a networking issue - thats why I asked about the browser
[21:43] <guntbert> ah
[21:44] <Nomadluap> anyone here know anything about Banshee?
[21:44] <checkthebean> because I am installing ubuntu on my macpro and the only way that I can get it to recognize my ethernet card is with the fix included in kernel 2.6.30.  I got it to work with Fedora, but I really do not like fedora
[21:44] <kraito> thanks guys, now i know i can defiantly count on the ubuntu community
[21:44] <knowone> hi i am to new with ubuntu and was wondering if thear is an app i need to download to get my cd games to load i spent all yesterday looking.  the game i am trying to get to load is world of warcraft i am sure that some one els had to have ran into this problm as well.  and i am sorry i am sorry i am such a nube but i hope it is as simple as me not having an app.  needed to run the CD
[21:44] <ashtoash> hi
[21:44] <ikonia> checkthebean: I'd advise hanging on until ubuntu 9.10 is released in 24 days
[21:44] <checkthebean> what about trying the beta?
[21:44] <ikonia> checkthebean: that has a later kernel that should work and you won't have to do anything
[21:44] <Nomadluap> knowone: do you have WINE yet?
[21:44] <checkthebean> I love adventure
[21:44] <Geoffrey2> hey there, can someone here help me get a laptop with xubuntu on it connected to my wireless router?
[21:45] <jedi06> 9.10?
[21:45] <ikonia> checkthebean: you're welcome to try it, however advised it will probably break
[21:45] <ashtoash> Hi Everyone
[21:45] <mgv1> do you use ekiga?
[21:45] <guntbert> j0nr: lets test it: search with google for netzmafia please
[21:45] <buddy69> Hi guez, I need help installing ubuntu, is anyone free for a 121
[21:45] <checkthebean> it is not mission critical so I will just do that
[21:45] <j0nr> guntbert: i am currently at a netroot prompt
[21:45] <ikonia> checkthebean: go for it then
[21:45] <checkthebean> heck it is just for fun
[21:45] <Nomadluap> /w buddy 69
[21:45] <checkthebean> thanks guys,
[21:45] <ikonia> buddy69: just ask your question
[21:45] <guntbert> j0nr: at a *what*?
[21:46] <checkthebean> woohoo, here I go,
[21:46] <checkthebean> By the way did you know it is a lot more fun when you put your hand up!
[21:46] <j0nr> guntbert: i booted into recovery mode and chose netroot to get a root command prompt with networking
[21:46] <ikonia> checkthebean: we don't need a commentory or pointless comments, try to keep the channel free for support discussion, just like you benifited from

[21:47] <canthus13> Nomadluap: two forward slashes, maybe?
[21:47] <Nomadluap> augh, slash commands don't work1
[21:47] <durt> wierd
[21:47] <buddy69> I have an old pc that I am trying to install ubuntu on but is dosent have a cd drive, so i hooked in a usb one but I cant get it to boot with it., how do i install ubuntu without needing to reboot
[21:48] <Nomadluap> //nick test

[21:48] <cowgarden> buddy69, wubi, if windows is installed
[21:48] <knowone> is thear a application i have to down load to get ubuntu to load a game frome the CD rom, the game i am trying to get to instal is world of warcraft
[21:48] <cowgarden> buddy69, is windows installed on it?
[21:48] <genii> Nomadluap: Just a single /          not two //    or three ///
[21:48] <durt> buddy69, in other words bios does not but to usb?
[21:49] <durt> er, boot
[21:49] <Berzerker> I think it should but to USB :P
[21:49] <Nomadluap> knowone: go to add/remove, and look for WINE microsoft windows compatibility layer
[21:49] <ronnie1981> I am having a problem with my laptop, I install Ubuntu 9.04 64bit and 8.10 i386 and both are doing it I can't get my wireless to work, I had 8.10 on my laptop before and the wireless worked fine but now I can't get it to work. It is a Compaq V5000
[21:49] <ronnie1981> any ideas?

[21:50] <Nomadluap> join hello
[21:50] <Geoffrey2> I have a laptop that had ubuntu on it, and it connected to the network just fine....today I did a fresh install of xubuntu 9.04, installed the wireless drivers, the wireless card is up and running...I keep getting a request for the network WPA password, but it's never accepted, even though two other computers connect fine using the same password
[21:50] <gianpaolo> ciao
[21:50] <Nomadluap> no, i'm not getting anything from slash commands
[21:51] <guntbert> j0nr: are you behind a router?
[21:51] <j0nr> guntbert: yes
[21:51] <addisonj_> okay, trying to learn vimdiff, how do i copy a line from one window to the next?
[21:51] <j0nr> guntbert: never had a problem like this before
[21:51] <guntbert> j0nr: does ping guntbert.sytes.net work?
[21:51] <smc> I have a question about xfce language. I installed Ubuntu and Kubuntu on two twin boxes, using spanish from the get go, everything came out in spanish except, when I installed xubuntu-desktop. It's running in english. What package am I missing?
[21:51] <j0nr> guntbert: plus other machines work fine
[21:51] <cowgarden> buddy69, wubi is a program you can install under windows from your usb stick (comes with the ubuntu installation files) and it will help you reboot to install linux and whipe windows, yes
[21:52] <seth> When ubuntu starts up, it counts down from 10 before selecting the default boot setting.  How do I make it count down from zero instead?
[21:52] <j0nr> guntbert: yes ping works
[21:52] <guntbert> j0nr: I remember a case where my router would only allow icmp and udp, but no tcp
[21:52] <ikonia> seth: /boot/grub/menu.lst timeout=0
[21:53] <seth> Thanks ikonia
[21:53] <ronnie1981> `action I am not 100% sure what you mean but when I done that is showed that it was disabled, I was going through the Ubuntu manual and it said to make sure it was on, I did so the light for the wireless card is on
[21:53] <guntbert> j0nr: could it be a misconfigured local  firewall?
[21:53] <ronnie1981> Sorry I am still kinda new to Linux
[21:53] <stevej26uk> hello everyone
[21:53] <j0nr> guntbert: in the router?
[21:53] <j0nr> guntbert: the machine just goes wired into the router
[21:53] <ronnie1981> yeah it works fine wired
[21:54] <ronnie1981> oh sorry
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> ronnie1981: the light means nothing, its a light, whats happening in the OS that counts
[21:54] <ronnie1981> ok
[21:54] <guntbert> j0nr: as you said it work on other computers in your local net I was talking about a firewall on your ubuntu
[21:54] <ronnie1981> when I put the command into terminal it says that the wireless is disabled
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> ronnie1981: its a terminal command, run it, put the output in http://pastebin.com
[21:54] <j0nr> guntbert: this is a competely fresh install...i havent done anything to it yet
[21:55] <ronnie1981> I hit the physical wireless button and nothing happened..... so thats whre I am now
[21:55] <ronnie1981> ok
[21:55] <guntbert> j0nr: strange, are you talking on that machine right now?

[22:00] <guntbert> j0nr: because that sounds a bit like a web proxy doing crazy things
[22:00] <trijntje> where are the xscreensavers located in ubuntu? I want to manually start a specific screensaver with some extra flags
[22:01] <einstein1969> mikinanuq, ok
[22:01] <j0nr> guntbert: well, I am not sure...I have  not experienced anything like that before... things have always 'just worked'.... :(
[22:01] <meez> hello. i brought my laptop back from suspend once and now networking seems to refuse to work (it claims to be connected, and i have an ip, but i cannot ping anything internally or externally). any ideas on how i might start to fix this? a reboot did nothing ;-;
[22:02] <dragon> what's the simplest way of setting the default screen resolution? I want my HDMI and LVDS to stay at 1280x800, but it keeps resets to 1440x900 with every reboot.
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> trijntje: try /usr/lib/xscreensaver
[22:02] <trijntje> ActionParsnip, genuis, thanks!
[22:02] <guntbert> j0nr: I want to make sure: you have just now two computers "side by side" in the same network, one works normally, one doesn't  Do you have an ubuntu support question?
[22:03] <guntbert> j0nr: scratch the last sentence please :-)

[22:05] <soreau> Can someone tell me how to extract the contents of a deb package?
[22:05] <j0nr> guntbert: yup, I am on a laptop on the same network running ubuntu which works fine...the other computer (a desktop) same network, problems. It dual boots xp and that works ok... it did have jaunty on it before whichi recently wiped and that worked...
[22:05] <demon_> soreau dpkg --install deb file
[22:05] <soreau> demon_: install != extract

[22:06] <booboo> i've been using hal .fdi files in 9.04

[22:06] <Keiya_> i can't click in windows, it just tries to move them1

[22:07] <powerjuce> ActionParsnip, would u be to help me with my problem?
[22:07] <booboo> thank you friend
[22:07] <demon_> soreau srry :(
[22:07] <powerjuce> ActionParsnip, i followed http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/assign-custom-shortcut-keys-on-ubuntu-linux/ that guide to make a custom shortcut, but it does not work
[22:07] <seth> How can I add things under the "Places" menubar at the top of Ubuntu's screen?  I want it to, for example, have 'Public' in addition to 'Documents' &c.
[22:07] <seidos> good luck
[22:07] <soreau> demon_: No worries :)
[22:07] <demon_> I have many *.zip files in many directories how can I unzip them all and put them in 1 folder ...
[22:07] <guntbert> j0nr: ok, so the proxy idea is out too... - try sudo iptables -L (there should be nearly nothing except "acccept")
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> !shortcut | powerjuce
[22:08] <soreau> demon_: you could use a bit of bash/scripting magic
[22:08] <soreau> demon_: If you ask how to do that in #bash, they should give you a one-liner to do it
[22:08] <arcsky> how can i list all packages i installed with apt-get ?
[22:08] <demon_> soreau k ill do that
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> arcsky: history | grep apt
[22:09] <seth> Can anyone tell me how I can add things under the "Places" menubar at the top of Ubuntu's screen?  I want it to, for example, have 'Public' in addition to 'Documents' &c.
[22:09] <[Green]> приветы
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> arcsky: you can view ALL apps you have currently installed with: dpkg -l | less
[22:09] <dragon> what's the simplest way of setting the default screen resolution? I want my HDMI and LVDS to stay at 1280x800, but it keeps resets to 1440x900 with every reboot.
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> !ru | [Green]
[22:09] <guntbert> ActionParsnip: but only on a fairly new install - history is not usually that big :-)
[22:10] <Beardbar> I have a webserver i setup with ubuntu server, awsome, but when i ftp in to a  directory that contains 8k files i can only see 1998 fies, I remember once changing a configuration so that all files could be seen, anyone know what im talking about?
[22:10] <j0nr> meez: it connects 'a bit'  google home page works, can perform a search and get result, but nothing else
[22:10] <dragon> seth: create a bookmark and it should show up there.
[22:10] <ActionParsnip> guntbert: but apt-get is command line based so will be in the history ;)
[22:10] <dragon> !pm | seth
[22:10] <Berzerker> ActionParsnip, I find apt-get is so much easier to use than the add/remove programs app
[22:11] <seidos> Beardbar: never came across that problem.  don't use ftp
[22:11] <ActionParsnip> Berzerker: +1 dude
[22:11] <j0nr> guntbert: not sure what to expect in iptables but there doesnt seem to be anything there accept headings
[22:11] <ActionParsnip> Berzerker: apt-cache search  to find apps too
[22:11] <guntbert> ActionParsnip: yes, but the older commands will "fall out" as newer come in
[22:11] <PMantis> sysv commands aren't giving me what I want. I'm adding init.d scripts, carefully adjusting "Provides" and "Required-Start". Now, what command reads all of these and rearranges all the rc?.d files to start in the right order?
[22:11] <Berzerker> ActionParsnip, yeah
[22:11] <seth> !pm dragon How do I 'add a bookmark' for my Public directory?
[22:11] <ActionParsnip> guntbert: the default length of history is 1000 commands
[22:11] <N0LLY> poor ubottu XD
[22:12] <papito> my packages seem to be broken, this seems not to be working as expected, dependencies fail, broken, etc.. is there any magical command line solution to get everything fixed ?
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> papito: try: sudo apt-get -f install
[22:12] <Keiya_> Damnit
[22:12] <papito> I think eeveyrthing got messed up when I added a repo in the sources.list..
[22:12] <Keiya_> even logging out and back in didn;t fix it?
[22:12] <papito> let me check
[22:12] <eNons3nse> Hey guys.  I'm trying to install Ubuntu on an 80gb hard drive in my laptop, along side Vista.  It's not letting me resize my windows partition smaller than 33gb.  Why is this?  I won't be using windows very often so I'd like it more around 10gb.
[22:12] <Keiya_> How do I make it so I can click in windows again!?
[22:13] <dragon> eNons3nse: that's because vista is occupying that much space.
[22:13] <powerjuce> ActionParsnip, thanks that was perfect!
[22:13] <ActionParsnip> papito: can you use http://pastebin.com to provide the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[22:13] <guntbert> j0nr: so its no local firewall either - I'm at the end of my ideas - please ask the channel again - sorry
[22:13] <ronnie1981> ActionParsnip here is the action you ask for earlier http://pastebin.com/d124e9194 sorry for the delay pastebin was being very slow for me
[22:13] <seth> Can anyone tell me how I can add things under the "Places" menubar at the top of Ubuntu's screen?  I want it to, for example, have 'Public' in addition to 'Documents' &c.  I was told to 'bookmark' my Public folder.  How do I do this?
[22:13] <papito> ActionParsnip , let me do oit
[22:14] <j0nr> guntbert: ok thanks :)
[22:14] <eNons3nse> dragon: Vista is taking up 33GB?  Wat?  It's almost a fresh install.
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom | ronnie1981
[22:14] <Berzerker> yup it's vista
[22:14] <guntbert> j0nr: and Good luck :-)
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> eNons3nse: minimum install is 8Gb
[22:14] <Berzerker> eNons3nse, vista requires fresh install + 25GB
[22:14] <papito> its upgrading.. i think it will take some time..
[22:15] <rp2> hi world
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> eNons3nse: just for the desktop, then load 3 Gb for office and you are well on your way
[22:15] <rp2> any experts on using multiple monitors around?
[22:15] <Keiya_> WHAT THE HELL WHY CAN'T I CLICK ANYTHING!?
[22:15] <guntbert> PMantis: look at update-rc
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> Keiya_: disable compiz and try
[22:15] <Keiya_> Even logging out of gnome and logging back in didn't fix it!?
[22:15] <ronnie1981> ok
[22:16] <Keiya_> ActionParsnip: How would compiz cause my clicks to always move windows!?
[22:16] <mgv1> what does this message means? http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/1193/63473606.png
[22:16] <Keiya_> And if it's something like that, why can I click in the panel but not in windows!?
[22:16] <rp2> i'd like to know if i can do that with my Asus motherboard and a very cheap old extra graphics card
[22:16] <mgv1> hi, ive a problem of not hearing in ekiga - who can help?
[22:16]  * Keiya_ grumps
[22:16] <Keiya_> I'm gonna try restarting gdm...
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> Keiya_: it is the Window Manager, if its malfunctioning then it wont draw the windows
[22:16] <bucky> mgv1, turn up your head phones in alsamixer
[22:16] <seth> Can anyone tell me how I can add things under the "Places" menubar at the top of Ubuntu's screen?  I want it to, for example, have 'Public' in addition to 'Documents' &c.  I was told to 'bookmark' my Public folder.  Can anyone tell me how to do this?
[22:17] <PMantis> guntbert: update-rc only allow me to tell the scripts what number to S and K at. I want the script I used a few months ago that reads all the init scripts and re-orders and adjusts the symlinks for me to account for dependencies that I create.
[22:17] <Berzerker> seth, open a folder and drag the folder to the sidebar
[22:17] <carresmd> Hey guys, I'm looking for an alternative server for Ubuntu's keyserver.. (it doesn't respond.. again.......)
[22:17] <Berzerker> seth, under where Documents, etc. is
[22:17] <carresmd> I've heard it a few times here.. But I forgot :)
[22:18] <codeloco2> I'm currently runing jaunty, and it was updated from 8.10 and so on until 7.04. Now I want to update to karmic, but from a fresh install. How is the best way to do that preserving my /home, since all the tree is over the same partition?
[22:18] <guntbert> PMantis: now I know what you mean - but my brain fails too - sorry
[22:18] <ikonia> codeloco2: back up /home somewhere else
[22:19] <Keiya_> Damnit
[22:19] <Keiya_> Restarting GDM didn't fix it, even!?
[22:19] <carresmd> never mind, looks like it's responsive again
[22:19] <guntbert> carresmd: try http://pgp.mit.edu/
[22:19] <PMantis> guntbert: Yeah, it ticks me off. I used it to build a client system, and I can't remember what I did.  I even ssh'd in and looked at history on my customer's machine - too long ago. gone. :(
[22:19] <Keiya_> ActionParsnip: Um, what the hell are you talking about?
[22:19] <Keiya_> Windows are being drawn fine
[22:19] <Keiya_> Just
[22:19] <mahdi> can anyone tell me how to get the latest version of komodo for assembly coding install?
[22:19] <Keiya_> Whenever I try to CLICK in them
[22:20] <Keiya_> It MOVES instead of CLICKING
[22:20] <guntbert> !attitude | Keiya_
[22:20] <Keiya_> Hover stuff works, even
[22:20] <carresmd> guntbert: Thanks :)
[22:20] <guntbert> carresmd: you are welcome :-)
[22:20] <Keiya_> guntbert: just because you're a volunteer doesn't mean you should be able to get away with not reading what the problem is >_>
[22:20] <codeloco2> ikonia: hmm good. maybe using tar+gz, and after restore it. but, that way, when i restore it, the file's permissions will be there?
[22:21] <ikonia> codeloco2: tar can preserve permissions
[22:21] <joseph> Hello
[22:21] <joseph> new to Ubuntu
[22:21] <Berzerker> is there something like yakuake for gnome?
[22:21] <trijntje> is there a way to stop compiz using the root window?
[22:22] <f00f> FUCK
[22:22] <codeloco2> ikonia: thanks, i will try that
[22:22] <mikinanuq> Berzerker: tilda ...
[22:22] <f00f> how do i set routes ?
[22:22] <guntbert> Keiya_: I don't care for your problem at the moment - sorry
[22:22] <ikonia> f00f: please control your language
[22:22] <Keiya_> Grah, I'll just boot to Windows, I need to walk and Ubuntu's wifi sucks at that anyway...
[22:22] <f00f> ikonia: sorry
[22:22] <f00f> been trying to solve this server interface config all morning
[22:22] <f00f> cant get it to work
[22:22] <f00f> i wanna pull out my hair if i had some

[22:22] <ikonia> f00f: route add
[22:22] <f00f> lol
[22:22] <f00f> i know how to add
[22:22] <FloodBot1> f00f: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:23] <ikonia> f00f: so what's the problem ?
[22:23] <f00f> i dont know as far as adding which ones and how
[22:23] <f00f> RTNETLINK answers: No such process
[22:23] <f00f> SIOCDELRT: No such process
[22:23] <f00f> thats errors i get
[22:23] <f00f> i searched it says cus of routes
[22:23] <ikonia> f00f: check your ethernet card is up, then check the network gateways your adding
[22:23] <guntbert> f00f: sudo?
[22:24] <f00f> i have sudo... card is up... gateways are right... but how do i set em is there a standard ?
[22:24] <Berzerker> mikinanuq, ok installed it, how do I start it?
[22:24] <mikinanuq> Berzerker: alt+f2   tilda -C   to configure
[22:25] <ovaga> i am really having hard time with my Ubutun
[22:25] <Berzerker> mikinanuq, I set the key, but how do I start it so the key will drop the terminal down? pressing the key does nothing
[22:25] <Misantropo> a bridged adapter is not showing Down activity neither in conky nor netspeed_applet
[22:25] <btfx> I'm not running ubuntu, but BackTrack3, which is debian-based too... and you guys are better with newbies, so hopefully you can help me, anyway, I plugged in an external disk (ntfs) via USB, but it appears to be read-only. Can someone give me a link that will quickly explain how to unmount, and remount it in RW mode (my internal NTFS disk is RW), I just lost my Windows install and need to back up data fast...
[22:25] <_techie_> am i able to repair a corrupted fat partition from ubuntu?
[22:26] <Mike_lifeguard> Hi, I'm in a bunch of groups, and I don't know what they are for. Is there an explanation of what the 'adm' group lets me do, for example?
[22:26] <maco> !ntfs3g | btfx
[22:26] <zenergi> is there any consensus on the best tripwire type app for an Ubuntu server? ( AIDE, bsign, systraq, tripwire, etc. )?
[22:26] <Gnea> btfx: we only support Ubuntu in here, we're not a catch-all for debian-based distros. have you tried #backtrack?
[22:26] <ovaga> my ubuntu cant boot properly
[22:26] <Mike_lifeguard> btfx: sudo umount to unmount, then you'll need to mount using that info someone just sent you
[22:26] <ovaga> could any one help me please
[22:26] <ovaga> ?
[22:27] <zenergi> btfx: I believe the bt irc channel is remote-exploit
[22:27] <mikinanuq> Berzerker: so you went to the keybindings tab and set it?
[22:27] <Old_Spike0> Ha, ha. Incredible:      http://www.ubuntu-trading.com/our-fairtrade-cola
[22:27] <Berzerker> mikinanuq, yup
[22:27] <ovaga> could any one help me
[22:27] <btfx> maco, Gnea, Mike_lifeguard, zenergi, Thanks, BRB after I try that
[22:27] <trijntje> is there a way to stop compiz using the root window?
[22:27] <einstein1969> !it
[22:27] <Mike_lifeguard> trijntje: maybe - ask in #compiz
[22:28] <trijntje> Mike_LaMar, I always forget how many channels there are, thanks for the tip!
[22:28] <silentnights> I just installed ubuntu karmic beta but grub hangs. Does anyone know anything about this?
[22:28] <mikinanuq> Berzerker: hmm try alt+f2  killall tilda  then alt+f2 tilda . without the -C this time
[22:29] <Berzerker> mikinanuq, command went through, key does nothing
[22:29] <mikinanuq> Berzerker: I think the default keybinding is f2 so you may want to try that to see if the default is still in place
[22:29] <Fishscene> silentnights: Might want to try to beta channel. If it's open. I can't remember the name of the channel though.
[22:29] <trijntje> Mike_lifeguard, I always forget how many channels there are, thanks for the tip!
[22:29] <notlistening> anyone help me with tracking down why my init.d script is not starting, it is there i think i have added it all in okay and it runs from a root and user  terminal after logging in?
[22:29] <Berzerker> mikinanuq, neither do anything
[22:29] <Fishscene> silentnights: Try #ubuntu+1
[22:29] <silentnights> Fishscene: Thanks
[22:29] <einstein1969> mikinanuq, any news?
[22:30] <notlistening> it is the cannon printer driver ccpd that will not start
[22:30] <mikinanuq> einstein1969: oh yeah saw something about using dd to do it but you have to be careful.. check this out... http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/using-linuxs-fdisk-to-erase-or-fix-a-mbr-300256/
[22:31] <mikinanuq> Berzerker: when you started tilda again did you see it blink on the upper left as if it started and then hid?
[22:31] <Berzerker> no
[22:31] <Berzerker> brb
[22:31] <mikinanuq> Berzerker: it might not be starting up.. try it from a command prompt to see if it even starts up
[22:32] <mikinanuq> einstein1969: so this is it "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda/ bs=446 count=1"
[22:33] <Berzerker> mikinanuq, I have like 8 bash processes running, is that normal?
[22:34] <mikinanuq> Berzerker: don't think so.. do  ps aux|grep tilda
[22:34] <Berzerker> andrew   31891  0.0  0.0   3124   804 pts/8    S+   17:34   0:00 grep --color=auto tilda
[22:34] <btfx> maco, Gnea, Mike_lifeguard, zenergi, Thank you very much. The solution (in my case) was to "safely remove", reconnect, and run "mkdir /mnt/seagate; ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1/ /mnt/seagate" Now it's in RW mode!
[22:34] <btfx> Thankies!
[22:34] <daveycakes> hi there
[22:35] <bucky> hay hay
[22:35] <daveycakes> could someone please help me with my mobile broadband on ubuntu? i've posted the question here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1283567
[22:35] <mikinanuq> Berzerker: so it's still running, , sudo kill -9 31891  that should kill it
[22:36] <bucky> daveycakes, you forgot to use sudo... hence it could not write to /opt
[22:36] <Berzerker> got another resolut as process 1045
[22:36] <daveycakes> ok
[22:36] <mikinanuq> Berzerker: oh maybe that was the grep that it saw
[22:36] <Berzerker> mikinanuq, tried to kill it again, propped up as proces 1566
[22:36] <daveycakes> bucky: but i just right clicked the install.sh and said run from terminal
[22:36] <daveycakes> how could i do it with sudo?
[22:36] <Berzerker> mikinanuq, I think you had the wrong number..
[22:37] <kraito> how do i get the cool theme for the cube
[22:38] <bucky> daveycakes, click on Applications=>Accessories=>Terminal  and sudo ./install.sh  if it complains you'll have to make it executable with chmod +x install.sh
[22:38] <Zodling> anyone know mutch about ubuntu-server acting as an iscsi target?
[22:38] <mikinanuq> Berzerker: try  ps a|grep tilda  .. you should see 2 lines, 1 is the tilda process the other is the grep tilda
[22:38] <bucky> daveycakes, i hope you remember your password
[22:38] <kraito> i guess you call them skidome, were can i find this?
[22:39] <mikinanuq> Berzerker: kill -9 to the process number
[22:39] <daveycakes> bucky: sure do
[22:39] <joshua__> aww man i burnt my wiener...
[22:39] <daveycakes> bucky: it says command not found though
[22:39] <pitput> quick question- why doesn't ubuntu need to reboot after installing updates like Windows?
[22:39] <bucky> daveycakes, sudo not found?
[22:39] <joshua__> pitput, sometimes it does require a restart
[22:39] <Berzerker> mikinanuq, when I do that command, every time I do it, the number goes up, I think that's like an uptime monitor or something
[22:40] <bucky> daveycakes, which distro are you using?
[22:40] <pitput> josh__, 85% of the time no need to reboot. do you know why?
[22:40] <daveycakes> bucky: it said   sudo: ./install.sh: command not found
[22:40] <daveycakes> erm, does that mean ubuntu version?
[22:40] <daveycakes> 9.04 desktop
[22:40] <mikinanuq> Berzerker: nah, that should be fine. If you're only seeing one line then tilda is not running
[22:40] <Berzerker> mikinanuq, ok
[22:40] <joshua__> pitput, because it isn't windows?
[22:40] <mikinanuq> Berzerker: try alt+f2  tilda  again
[22:41] <bucky> daveycakes, type in pwd .. which working directory are you in and do you need to cd Desktop ?
[22:41] <Berzerker> mikinanuq, should I have like 8 bash processes running?
[22:41] <daveycakes> bucky: can we talk in pvt window?
[22:41] <mikinanuq> Berzerker: then run the  ps a|grep tilda   and you should see two lines now, if not it's crashing
[22:41] <bucky> daveycakes, no
[22:41] <daveycakes> lol
[22:41] <bucky> daveycakes, if you can't figure out the command line then you need to take dos 101
[22:42] <Berzerker> mikinanuq, only see 1 line
[22:42] <daveycakes> i've forgotten how to cd to directories
[22:42] <mikinanuq> Berzerker: not sure... I have 5 right now
[22:42] <bucky> daveycakes, cd Desktop  is too hard?
[22:42] <pitput> joshua__, you don't have an answer then
[22:42] <joshua__> bucky, they called that Intro to Microcomputing when i was in college
[22:42] <Hi> Hi! I've encrypted my filesystem through the installer thing. Just got a quick question. What do I do in case the OS fails regarding password to decrypt?
[22:43] <kraito> can anyone help me with the skydome?
[22:43] <mikinanuq> Berzerker: ok so it's not even coming up. open up a terminal and run tilda from there that might say why it's crashing
[22:43] <bucky> joshua__, good call
[22:44] <daveycakes> bucky: sorry im not too smart at this stuff. ok so now i need to put the folder on the desktop?
[22:44] <zenergi> btfx: glad to hear that you're up and running... best of luck with your conquests :)
[22:44] <mgv1> bucky, i dont use headphones right now how can i test ekiga?
[22:44] <mikinanuq> Berzerker: you may need to go back in to 'tilda -C' and mess around with the settings. turn off transparency, turn on double buffer etc..
[22:44] <prajjwal> is there a way to make my Vista partition mount ... mount and sudo mount on the dev/sda3 isnt working ... and its a fresh install so i dont know what its mount label is ....
[22:44] <Drop_tables> Is there a quick way to fix the firefox 3.5 branding?
[22:44] <prajjwal> sorry Drive label not mount label
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> !ntfs-3g | prajjwal
[22:44] <Berzerker> mikinanuq, tilda said segmentation fault, sudo tilda opened the settings
[22:45] <mikinanuq> Berzerker: unfortunately I have to admit it's not the best program. I have seen it bug out a few times and it doesn't like screen...
[22:45] <ActionParsnip> Berzerker: gksudo for gui apps dude
[22:45] <rdx-> Hi! I've encrypted my filesystem through the installer thing. Just got a quick question. What do I do in case the OS fails regarding password to decrypt?
[22:45] <zenergi> is there any consensus on the best tripwire type app for an Ubuntu server? ( AIDE, bsign, systraq, tripwire, etc. )?
[22:45] <Berzerker> ActionParsnip, it was run from the terminal
[22:45] <smc> Ok since nobody seems to able to answer my language question hows this, I installed kubuntu and Ubuntu, with Kubuntu I can double click on a ttf file and then install a font, with ubuntu I can't, which package am I'm I missing?
[22:45] <mgv1> bucky, i dont hear nothing in ekiga
[22:45] <ActionParsnip> Berzerker: still, gksudo for gui apps
[22:45] <Berzerker> evenso, gksudo tilda doesn't work from alt+f2
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> Berzerker: try: killall tilda; mv ~/.tilda ~/.tilda_old
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> Berzerker: then rerun tilda
[22:46] <bucky> daveycakes, it was probably downloaded to Desktop ..that's why it has a little icon for you to click on, cd Desktop then ls to see if it's there
[22:46] <ugliefrog> desktop cd the same as live cd?
[22:46] <mgv1> bucky, i also think that the microphone of the computer isnt working
[22:46] <Berzerker> how, running gksudo tilda?
[22:46] <Berzerker> or what
[22:46] <daveycakes> bucky: its there :)
[22:47] <einstein1969> mikinanuq, i have to backup EBR also.
[22:47] <einstein1969> !it
[22:47] <daveycakes> bucky: now do i type sudo ./install.sh
[22:47] <bucky> mgv1, there's a slider for that in alsamixer also a bug.. so google it some weird setting
[22:47] <ActionParsnip> Berzerker: i'd try renaming the profile to see if th eprofile is at fault
[22:47] <Berzerker> renaming what profile
[22:47] <mikinanuq> Berzerker: well you probably don't want to run it under sudo or gksudo.. that will change the settings for the root user. just plain tilda
[22:47] <bucky> daveycakes, in the terminal
[22:47] <papito> karmic is the latest ubuntu release right?
[22:47] <craigbass1976> since upgrading from hardy, my laptop doesn't get on the wireless network until I log in.  How do I change this so that it gets on regardless of whether anyone has logged in or not?
[22:48] <Berzerker> papito, not out yet, Oct 29th
[22:48] <ActionParsnip> Berzerker: the tilda profile. i gave you the exact command
[22:48] <Berzerker> ActionParsnip, oh, I did that, didn't do anything
[22:48] <ActionParsnip> papito: its the latest beta, jaunty is the latest stable
[22:48] <ActionParsnip> Berzerker: did you relaunch tilda?
[22:48] <blight_> hi, can someone recommend which VPN server to use on ubuntu for Windows XP clients?
[22:48] <papito> ooh ok, because there are karmic repos, i did apt-get upgrade and started donwloading from karmic repos
[22:48] <papito> ok
[22:48] <mikinanuq> blight_: ssh
[22:49] <Berzerker> ActionParsnip, yes
[22:49] <Berzerker> ActionParsnip, none of the keys work
[22:49] <daveycakes> bucky: it said LinuxUI: command not found
[22:49] <craigbass1976> I'm not even sure how to google for that...
[22:50] <ActionParsnip> Berzerker: has a new profile folder been created?
[22:50] <mgv1> bucky, the mic slider isnt helping and and sound of the speakes arent heard
[22:50] <Zappo> hi does anyone know how to get a mic working? mine doesnt seem to work.
[22:50] <bucky> daveycakes, try sh install.sh
[22:50] <Berzerker> ActionParsnip, yup
[22:50] <mikinanuq> blight_: ssh is installed by default on ubuntu, on winxp get putty put in the IP adress of your ubuntu pc and it will open up a terminal to the pc
[22:50] <bucky> daveycakes, try sudo sh install.sh
[22:50] <daveycakes> right
[22:50] <ash`> notte :)
[22:51] <daveycakes> bucky: it ran, but it said cannot access 'usr/bin/wvdial' no such file
[22:51] <ActionParsnip> Berzerker: then i suggest you try: sudo apt-get --purge remove tilda; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; rm -rf ~/.tild*; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install tilda
[22:51] <vge> Zappo: have you checked gnome-alsamixer?
[22:51] <craigbass1976> Anyone?  Is it something I have to change in /etc/network/interfaces?
[22:51] <techpros> Hey guys could you please help me with a ubuntu 9.04 networking issue?

[22:53] <bucky> daveycakes, it's the linux version of a virus

[22:56] <vge> aina: i haven't used internal speakers in years, whats your problem with it?
[22:56] <aina> well it's not working ... and i don't know why : everything seems installed, volume controle is okay
[22:57] <aina> and when im using headphones it's okay too
[22:57] <vge> aina: does it beep when your booting your computer?
[22:57] <daveycakes> bucky: ok i install wvdial. however when i run the install sh i now get. install.sh: line 191: udevcontrol: command not found and line 223: rpm: command not found
[22:58] <aina> vge, do you mean before the grub process ?
[22:58] <aina> or after...
[22:58] <vge> aina: well, usually internal speaker beeps when bios is done with checking
[22:58] <aina> cause if after then yes : im using headphones to listen to music and when it echoes the login screen, after logging in : i have the little music in the background
[22:59] <bucky> daveycakes, udevcontrol has been replaced by udevadm
[22:59] <vge> aina: so headphones work but internal wont?
[23:00] <daveycakes> bucky: so how can i get around that?
[23:00] <bucky> you might be able to edit the install.sh file and change udevcontrol to udevadm  ...maybe
[23:00] <mezquitale> !paste
[23:00] <_techie_> am i able to repair a corrupted fat partition from ubuntu?
[23:00] <bucky> daveycakes, gedit Desktop/install.sh
[23:00] <dartagnan_> is there a way to make vista load first in grub?
[23:01] <aina> vge, well that's what happening actually
[23:01] <daveycakes> daveycakes: gedit Desktop/LinuxUI/install.sh as its in a folder on the desktop called linuxui?
[23:01] <vge> aina: has the internal ever worked?
[23:01] <aina> i have the sound when using headphones but when trying to hear sound from the integrated speaker : it's not ok
[23:01] <aina> vge, yes before jackalop i had it working
[23:02] <aina> vge, i mean with older version of ubuntu
[23:02] <vge> dartagnan_: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[23:02] <vge> aina: so it got broken in the process when you were updating?
[23:02] <aina> vge, i have this pbm since i upgraded from this older version
[23:02] <dartagnan_> and?
[23:03] <aina> vge, that's right : after the upgrade it didn't work anymore ...
[23:03] <techpros123> hey guys can someone help me with a networking issue please?
[23:03] <prajjwal>  is there a way for me to change my partition type to primary from Logical???
[23:03] <dartagnan_> after what can I do? any idea?
[23:03] <Zappo> vge: ** (gnome-alsamixer:6393): WARNING **: gam_toggle_get_state (). No idea what to do for mixer element "Input Source"!
[23:03] <Zappo> bash: syntax error near unexpected token `gnome-alsamixer:6393'
[23:03] <vge> dartagnan_: in the end there is list of boot options, move the windows group up
[23:03] <Zappo> vge: that comes up wheni put it in
[23:04] <dartagnan_> cut and paste?
[23:04] <vge> dartagnan_: be prepared for world of hurt if you mess it wrong
[23:04] <dartagnan_> I know
[23:04] <Res2216firestar> irc://irc.gbatemp.net:5190
[23:04] <Berzerker> ActionParsnip, tried guake, works great, exactly like yakuake
[23:04] <Res2216firestar> whoops
[23:04] <dartagnan_> I dont wanna do thing s that are not sure
[23:04] <vge> dartagnan_: should be just the position in the file
[23:05] <Res2216firestar>  /server
[23:05] <Res2216firestar> gah
[23:05] <Res2216firestar> sticky enter key
[23:05] <kermit> why does sound-juicer not list mp3 as an option even though its active in the editable list?
[23:05] <vge> Zappo: so the program don't even start?
[23:05] <dartagnan_> nope
[23:05] <dartagnan_> I didnt see that anywhere
[23:05] <Zappo> vge: that comes up when i enter the command
[23:05] <losha> prajjwal: not if it has data on it. I think the best you can hope for is to create a new primary partition, copy the data from the logical partition, then delete the old partition...
[23:05] <Zappo> vge: odd
[23:05] <Mka> any GNOME based music player that supports MySQL?
[23:06] <dartagnan_> some suggest using neosmart technologie into vista loader
[23:06] <troublescoot> what's the latest version of php supported?
[23:06] <dartagnan_> sounds like a big root kit
[23:06] <aina> vge, what would you suggest me to do ?
[23:06] <prajjwal> thanks ....
[23:06] <Samus_Aran> can anyone tell me where or how I can get a secure version of the Sun Java VM integrated with the system (.deb or otherwise working for alternatives) ?
[23:07] <losha> !java
[23:07] <vge> aina: i don't know to be exact
[23:07] <joshua__> !java
[23:07] <heoa> How can I change base from DEC to BIN?
[23:07] <heoa> in octave
[23:07] <Samus_Aran> losha: I am not asking how to apt-get install java.  I am asking how to install a *secure* version
[23:07] <vge> Zappo: i suggest you reinstall your sound system
[23:07] <Samus_Aran> there have been three or four versions since Sun Java 1.6.0_10, which including fixing an exploit
[23:08] <joshua__> isn't the jre installed by default on ubuntu?
[23:08] <vge> Zappo: but i'm no alsa guru
[23:08] <Samus_Aran> joshua__: yes, an outdated and insecure version ...
[23:08] <joshua__> Samus_Aran, oh
[23:08] <Samus_Aran> if I just go and install the one from sun.com then the package manager won't know Java is installed, and will removed everything that needs Java
[23:09] <aina> vge, ;-) thanks it's okay
[23:09] <aina> vge, thanks a lot anyway ;)
[23:09] <daveycakes> bucky: i edited the install.sh thank you :) just one more question
[23:10] <Zappo> vge: i am going to mess around a little more before i do that
[23:10] <daveycakes> bucky: what does install.sh: line 223: rpm: command not find
[23:10] <joshua__> why do you need java anyways it is a washed up platform... nobody uses it
[23:10] <vge> aina: just check your volumes, it's allways volumes :)
[23:10] <daveycakes> bucky: what do i ahve to do to fix that
[23:10] <agliodbs> ok, ebox has gone from being a poor substitute for webmin to downright evil in my book
[23:10] <ActionParsnip> Berzerker: awesome
[23:10] <Zappo> im going to restart
[23:10] <bucky> daveycakes, run an rpm based distro
[23:10] <losha> Samus_Aran: Hmm. Tricky. I suppose you could install a version from the repository so that the package manager thinks you have java installed, and then overwrite it by installing a latest version from sun.com. But it's definitely a hack to do so...
[23:11] <troublescoot> what's the latest supported version of php?
[23:11] <daveycakes> i have no idea what you just said. please could you tell me what to do in real simple terms
[23:11] <troublescoot> on ubuntu, i mean
[23:11] <bucky> daveycakes, it's prolly wanting to install an rpm from the internet somewhere... you can apt-get install rpm but i doubt if it will work.. might be worth a try tho'
[23:11] <losha> agliodbs: most linux GUI config stuff seems to be a buggy mess. Not sure why...
[23:12] <Idhan> hi, according to this website http://go-oo.org/download/ I can install go-oo through the ubuntu repositories..  Can't you run dpkg --contents on the .deb file and then nuke every file it installed by hand?
[23:15] <agliodbs> losha: ebox modifies a lot of your config files in ways that are hard to track down
[23:15] <ActionParsnip> !ebox | joshua__
[23:15] <losha> joshua__: a 'configure your ubuntu box via the web' application
[23:15] <agliodbs> losha: for example, for some reason if ebox isn't running, the network can't be started in a normal mode
[23:15] <prajjwal> !grub
[23:15] <Zappo> back
[23:15] <agliodbs> even if you remove ebox entirely, this is still ture
[23:16] <losha> agliodbs: it doesn't keep a log, and it doesn't make backups? A princely piece of software indeed...
[23:16] <Zappo> >=D
[23:16] <troublescoot> okay, well at the very least, what is the best way (without yet having Ubuntu) to determine what the latest supported version of any software is?
[23:16] <Zappo> vge: it came up
[23:17] <ActionParsnip> agliodbs: sure you can remove it, just uninstall the packages
[23:17] <jmq> I have an ubuntu server, where all mail ends up in /var/mail/. Question: how can I bounce back mail which isn't one of the prescribed user names? (to prevent spam)
[23:18] <unkmar> when I mute through the keyboard shortcut. the sound isn't muted.
[23:18] <jmq> we only have like 2 users.
[23:18] <unkmar> suggestions?
[23:19] <jmq> but if we get an email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>it ends up as foo in /var/mail/
[23:19] <ax-ax>
[23:19] <ax-ax>
[23:19] <FloodBot1> ax-ax: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:20] <MacGyverNL> What could be wrong if, when booting Ubuntu 9.04 from USB or CD, the boot goes fine but the subsequent loading of X *sometimes* displays a borked screen with vertical greenish lines, but sometimes goes as it should?
[23:20] <agliodbs> ActionParsnip: yes, but I can't remove it and have my system behave the way it did before ebox was installed
[23:20] <MacGyverNL> The CD is fine, I checked that.
[23:20] <agliodbs> ActionParsnip: believe me, I tried
[23:20] <shaffy> can anyone tell me how to convert the ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix "img" to a bootable ".iso"?  or anyway at all to make just a regular bootable cd/dvd with the *.img file that is provided on the ubuntu website?
[23:20] <ActionParsnip> agliodbs: strange
[23:20] <ActionParsnip> agliodbs: you logged a bug?
[23:21] <agliodbs> ActionParsnip: for example, when ebox is uninstalled, my machine won't respond to NAT connections
[23:21] <agliodbs> ActionParsnip: so something's messed up in the networking profile
[23:21] <ActionParsnip> shaffy:  ccd2iso /path/to/example.img /path/to/example.iso
[23:22] <MacGyverNL> Oh, and if I indeed have that problem, when I drop to a normal terminal, the terminal on the main screen doesn't do display updates (I can see myself typing at first, but there's no scrolling and no output), but the tv hooked up to the gfx card displays it fine.
[23:22] <ActionParsnip> agliodbs: log a bug
[23:22] <agliodbs> ok
[23:22] <Griktar> how can I make it to where I don't have to enter my username/password when booting after its already set up to have me enter it upon boot?
[23:22] <mgv1> why i cant hear anything with ekiga even with the right settings in that mixer?
[23:22] <einstein1969> mikinanuq, thanks , i have to backup EBR also.
[23:23] <fccf> Griktar: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutoLogin should help you
[23:23] <sebsebseb> Griktar: normalley people say it's more secure to not do auto log in
[23:23] <dartagnan_>  /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-15-generic       /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic
[23:23] <unkmar> mgv1: ekiga using a proxy? NAT traversal problems? or, mixer still not set right.
[23:23] <shaffy> ActionParsnip: i've tried many windows apps (poweriso, magiciso, etc) to convert it to an ISO but it says the IMG file is not a valid image.  i've been really confused.  i've even tried to burn the IMG with nero (in windows) and the DVD just keeps showing up blank (ive done this several times)
[23:23] <losha> agliodbs: ActionParsnip: well, it *is* a configuration tool. If you install it, then misconfigure your system in some way, then remove it, it seems a lot to expect that it would automatically revert your config to it's previous state (though if *I* were writing a config tool, I think a 'revert' button would be a priority feature...). I guess now you know why configuration tools suck...
[23:23] <einstein1969> i have problem with gparted, there is a progam for backup/restore EBR?
[23:24] <dartagnan_> anybody knows why these two copies of ubuntu 9.04 are on my booting menu?
[23:24] <Griktar> sebsebseb: you can bypass a password easy when you are at the PC anyway, and its my own personal laptop :-)
[23:24] <sebsebseb> dartagnan_: two kernels you mean or?
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> shaffy: did yuo md5 check the img?
[23:24] <unkmar> dartagnan_: 2 different kernels?  kernel update?
[23:24] <_Tristan> $20 to the guy/girl who gets my sound working. ubuntu 9.04 dell studio xps 15
[23:24] <dartagnan_> what does it mean I have 4 entries for booting ubuntu?
[23:24] <daveycakes> bucky: installed all the necessary stuff. now i get  a huge list of this
[23:24] <dartagnan_> yes different kernels
[23:24] <sebsebseb> Griktar: ok
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> losha: i guess
[23:24] <mgv1> unkmar, no, i dont know what is the nat - mixer - i dont know - what can i do?
[23:25] <dartagnan_> installed the same day?
[23:25] <agliodbs> losha: right, but configure things in a way I can't *undo* by editing the configuration files?
[23:25] <dartagnan_> how could it happend?
[23:25] <losha> _Tristan: $20? I don't get out of bed for less than $200....
[23:25] <agliodbs> losha: for example, the networking behavior is just wierd
[23:25] <fccf> dartagnan_: those are 2 different kernels ... everytime you update and it loads new kernels  it adds those lines .. the newest being the top (default) one
[23:25] <ActionParsnip> agliodbs: you could use ssh to backup the configs first :)
[23:25] <dartagnan_> so I can erase the number 11
[23:25] <_Tristan> losha: yes, but this doesn't involve getting out of bed now does it?
[23:25] <daveycakes> bucky: error: failed depenencies
[23:25] <shaffy> ActionParsnip: i did not.  let me do that now.  will get right back to you.  thx.
[23:25] <agliodbs> ActionParsnip: too late ...
[23:25] <daveycakes> bucky:a whole loada stuff from rpm
[23:26] <ActionParsnip> _Tristan: run: sudo lshw -C sound     the product line will be useful in websearches
[23:26] <einstein1969> i have problem with gparted, there is a progam for backup/modify/restore EBR? thanks
[23:26] <dartagnan_> if i delete them in my booting meny are they deleted from my system, no i figure
[23:26] <nidelius> it's so wierd that drivers that worked perfect in an older kernel just stops working when you upgrade.. it's one of the few flaws with linux
[23:26] <dartagnan_> menu*
[23:26] <fccf> daveycakes: what are you installing?
[23:26] <magikid> Anyone have any experience with portknocking?
[23:27] <losha> agliodbs: dunno what to tell you. If it worked once, in theory it's fixable, though it may take a long time to find & fix...
[23:27] <_Tristan> ActionParsnip: forgot to mention that I've followed every tutorial in the universe
[23:27] <daveycakes> fccf: 3 mobile broadband dongle driver
[23:27] <nidelius> my sound just stopped working when I upgraded 9.04 to the latest kernel
[23:27] <ActionParsnip> shaffy: if you have the option. ALWAYS MD5 check ISO and IMG files
[23:27] <daveycakes> fccf: i've gone through so much crap to sort it, still not working
[23:27] <agliodbs> losha: yeah
[23:27] <Griktar> How do you md5 check?
[23:27] <Griktar> is there a command?
[23:27] <sebsebseb> !md5 |  Griktar
[23:27] <Griktar> Thanks
[23:27] <agliodbs> losha: overall, I've been very uninpressed by ebox, and think that Ubuntu chose the wrong tool ...
[23:28] <sebsebseb> Griktar: np also it's much easier to md5sum on Linu than it is on Windows
[23:28] <fccf> daveycakes: I wouldn't expect a rpm to work ... there is an easier way
[23:28] <losha> _Tristan: :-). 9.04 is *notorious* for hard-to-fix sound problems. Downgrade to 8.04. $20 please...
[23:28] <daveycakes> fccf: haha really? can i pvt with you to sort it?
[23:28] <sebsebseb> Griktar: Linux above
[23:28] <unkmar> mgv1: does the local echo test work?
[23:28] <fccf> !pm | daveycakes
[23:28] <_Tristan> losha: nosir
[23:28] <losha> agliodbs: my impression is that ebox isn't used much. Perhaps this is why...
[23:28] <daveycakes> oh i see
[23:28] <einstein1969> i have problem with gparted, there is a program for backup/modify/check/restore EBR? thanks
[23:28] <agliodbs> losha: yeah
[23:28] <daveycakes> fccf: ok so please help?
[23:28] <daveycakes> im lost at this point
[23:29] <sebsebseb> losha: well I guess 8.04 has been around for long enough now,  for  there to be quite a lot of people that know how to fix any pulseaudio issues in it
[23:29] <agliodbs> losha: unfortunately, someone here recommended it to me
[23:29] <losha> _Tristan: dang. Shoulda got the money upfront...
[23:29] <_Tristan> you can still get it if you fix my problem ;)
[23:29] <einstein1969> :(
[23:29] <losha> sebsebseb: I think that's an advantage of an LTS release anyway. Pretty much any problem you might encounter has been seen & fixed...
[23:30] <einstein1969> bye bye
[23:31] <losha> _Tristan: well, I wasn't kidding. Downgrading to 8.04 will probably fix most of your issues. Consider that a freebie...
[23:31] <_Tristan> see, but I like 9.04 a lot.
[23:31] <sebsebseb> _Tristan: Somtimes an older reason of  Ubuntu is actsauly better for someone, because of the hardware they have for example
[23:31] <sebsebseb> _Tristan: 9.10 is out on October 29th :)
[23:31] <_Tristan> sebsebseb: I got it working before
[23:31]  * sebsebseb wonders what issues that will fix other than the common 9.04 Intel issue
[23:32] <losha> _Tristan: get used to the quiet then....
[23:32] <_Tristan> for some reason I sudo apt-get remove'd pulseaudio
[23:32] <_Tristan> and now I can't remember how I made it work before
[23:32] <Griktar> I need that intel issue fixed because I have it now its terrible.
[23:32] <_Tristan> hey, this channel isn't logged is it?
[23:32] <sebsebseb> _Tristan: yes it is
[23:32] <_Tristan> sebsebseb: I don't suppose I could search the logs?
[23:32] <sebsebseb> !logs |  _Tristan
[23:32] <shaffy> ActionParsnip: the IMG passed the md5sum
[23:32] <unkmar> _Tristan: yes you can.
[23:33] <_Tristan> some guy told me how to fix it maybe a month ago...
[23:33] <dartagnan_> how come I cant simply write vista chainloader as 0 for default booting????
[23:33] <_Tristan> woo
[23:33] <dartagnan_> I dont see the point with grub
[23:33] <bucky> daveycakes, if that doesn't work just do this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mobile%20Broadband%20Internet%20USB%20Adapters
[23:33] <sebsebseb> _Tristan: it seems that they can't easilley be searched, and you might have your own IRC client log for that
[23:33] <dartagnan_> when i had ubuntu into windows xp windows was the first to boot by default
[23:33] <unkmar> I guess I will stick to turning the physical knob on my speakers for muting when a call comes in. :(
[23:33] <losha> _Tristan: if you find it, come back and tell us. It comes up fairly often...
[23:33] <_Tristan> sebsebseb: tried that
[23:34] <dartagnan_> thats not logical
[23:34] <sebsebseb> dartagnan_: the point of Grub is to allow another OS to boot up as well as Ubuntu,  or even  memtest or  recovery mode when it comes to Ubuntu
[23:34] <dartagnan_> how could grub be so complicated for nothing
[23:34] <unkmar> losha: he probably removed pulseaudio and started esd or something like that.
[23:34] <dartagnan_> I know
[23:34] <lobonegro_rlopez> Hello, I have a kinda big problem but this is the first time I've used IRC for help
[23:34] <sebsebseb> dartagnan_: I agree though it can be a bit complacted when it goes wrong
[23:34] <fifoo> hi! Is there any french people here?
[23:35] <dartagnan_> but why cant I choose vista as default for booting ?
[23:35] <sebsebseb> !fr |  fifoo
[23:35] <sebsebseb> dartagnan_: that's easy enough to change
[23:35] <dartagnan_> its not logical
[23:35] <sebsebseb> dartagnan_: ,but why would you want Vista to be the default boot?
[23:35] <fifoo> ok thank you!
[23:35] <sebsebseb> fifoo: np
[23:35]  * losha If it's important enough to log, you'd think it'd be important enough to make it searchable....
[23:35] <dartagnan_> because I have kids on the pc, would be simpler this way
[23:36] <_Tristan> anybody know where pidgin's log files are kept?
[23:36] <sebsebseb> dartagnan_: kids can use Ubuntu as well,  and there is a lot of educational software and such for them in the repo.   Ok you want to change things so Vista is default boot.  open the terminal and then  gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[23:36] <unkmar> dartagnan_: it is easy enough to make Vista the default boot.  Just change /boot/grub/menu.lst
[23:37] <sebsebseb> dartagnan_: put  the Vista entry before the Ubuntu  stuff, and it should boot up by default
[23:37] <Flannel> sebsebseb: This is support, please don't lecture about personal choice.
[23:37] <dartagnan_> I cange the + 1 of vista for 0???
[23:37] <ActionParsnip> _Tristan: ~/.purple/logs
[23:37] <sebsebseb> Flannel: whoops my bad, and ok no problem
[23:37] <ikonia> dartagnan_: can you see the line "Default" in /boot/grub/menu.lst ?
[23:37] <dartagnan_> nope it wont work
[23:37] <dartagnan_> stop to laugh at me
[23:38] <_Tristan> oh, pidgin DID log it.
[23:38] <shaffy> ActionParsnip: anymore ideas on creating a bootable cd/dvd from the IMG file?
[23:38] <lobonegro_rlopez> For the past month, Nautilus has been saying that my hard drive has less and less available space, but besides the usual updates I haven't downloaded anything big.
[23:38] <unkmar> dartagnan_: usually one of the first few lines.
[23:38] <dartagnan_> where the one in charge? you all laughing at me, where are you, in ottawa?
[23:38] <ikonia> dartagnan_: stop - no-one is laughing at you
[23:38] <ActionParsnip> shaffy: not sure, thats all i got
[23:38] <losha> sebsebseb: in the doghouse again...
[23:38] <ikonia> dartagnan_: can you see the line "default" in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[23:38] <dartagnan_> nope
[23:39] <ikonia> dartagnan_: can you pastebin /boot/grub/menu.lst please ?
[23:39] <ActionParsnip> shaffy: remember toALWAYS MD5 check before using ISO and IMG files
[23:39] <losha> _Tristan: tell us...
[23:39] <_Tristan> whoever wanted to know
[23:39] <dartagnan_> oh
[23:39] <lobonegro_rlopez> Now it says there are 0 bytes free after deleting several gb, and now the panels have reverted back to default
[23:39] <unkmar> dartagnan_: line 14 for me.  Might be a little sooner or later than that.
[23:39] <mgv1> unkmar, the echo test? no
[23:39] <_Tristan> dell studio xps 15 + options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m6 = profit
[23:39] <ActionParsnip> lobonegro_rlopez: sudo apt-get clean
[23:39] <shaffy> ActionParsnip: i can extract the entire IMG to a folder using poweriso -- but i don't know how to make the contents "bootable" when i burn it to a dvd
[23:39] <dartagnan_> could I simply set default as +1 ????
[23:39] <ikonia> dartagnan_: no
[23:39] <ActionParsnip> shaffy: that wont work
[23:40] <ikonia> dartagnan_: you need to count the menu items (just titles) until you get to vista, start at 0 and then count to your vista entry, that is the number you want
[23:40] <ikonia> dartagnan_: eg: if vista is the 4th title in the list, you want to set it to 3
[23:40] <ActionParsnip> shaffy: do you have a USB stick you can boot from, its faster than CD and a hell of a lot more reliable
[23:41] <losha> shaffy: making bootable dvds was complicated last time I looked. Where did your IMG file come from?
[23:41] <aj_444> I'm trying to install opera but it won't let me. help?
[23:41] <ActionParsnip> shaffy: burning a CD IMG to a DVD can get messy
[23:41] <ActionParsnip> !opera | aj_444
[23:42] <shaffy> ActionParsnip: that's just the problem -- i dont have a USB :(((
[23:42] <shaffy> losha: i dled it from the ubuntu site -- it's the ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix IMG
[23:42] <ActionParsnip> shaffy: or sd card?
[23:42] <dartagnan_> I want vista as 0 deafult booter
[23:42] <vge> sorry about my french, but k3b will burn image to dvd just fine
[23:43] <lobonegro_rlopez> that didn't work
[23:43] <dartagnan_> not 3
[23:43] <ikonia> dartagnan_: the number doesn't matter
[23:43] <ikonia> dartagnan_: it's just a menu list identifier
[23:43] <shaffy> ActionParsnip: will my computer boot from an SD card?
[23:43] <ikonia> dartagnan_: change the number to the menu list number of vista, eg: 4th entry, = change it to 3
[23:43] <lobonegro_rlopez> besides, I've used computer janitor and ubuntu tweaks package cleaning functions and still no room
[23:43] <dartagnan_> will wait to know more about it
[23:44] <ikonia> dartagnan_: pardon ?
[23:44] <ActionParsnip> shaffy: some can, some cant
[23:44] <shaffy> thx.  will try
[23:44] <losha> shaffy: sorry, I don't know much about the remix stuff...
[23:44] <shaffy> np. thx every1
[23:45] <lobonegro_rlopez> Can anyone help me
[23:45] <Griktar> I have a great question.. I installed ubuntu then another distro after that.... How come the new distro is the one that handles the GRUB issues now?
[23:45] <sebsebseb> lobonegro_rlopez: With what?
[23:45] <losha> lobonegro_rlopez: I can help, but you'll have to do some cli work, ok?
[23:46] <lobonegro_rlopez> I don't mind
[23:46] <Flannel> Griktar: because the new distro wrote it's grub to the MBR, so your computer boots to that one.
[23:46] <sebsebseb> Griktar: ,because that distro probably  put  on it's  own Grub
[23:46] <Griktar> ok, both distros have their /boot/grub/menu.lst
[23:46] <losha> lobonegro_rlopez: ok, please open a terminal, type sudo fdisk -l, and paste the output to paste.ubuntu.com
[23:46] <Griktar> How does that grub on the MBR know which to use?
[23:47] <Flannel> Griktar: right, GRUB is a two step process, the second step is the one that reads the menu.lst, the first step is the one that points to a second step (and sits on the MBR)
[23:47] <Flannel> Griktar: So, both second steps still exist, but the new distro wrote it's first one to the MBR, pointing to it's /boot/
[23:47] <lobonegro_rlopez> paste it where?
[23:47] <aj_444> ActionParsnip: I installed the .deb file for opera and tried installing it via the package manager and it didn't work for me.
[23:47] <Griktar> ok, so sense I have 2 partitions with 2 linux distros, they are basically like c:/ and d:/ if we were using windows?
[23:48] <Flannel> Griktar: Uh, not exactly, but that's close enough if you understand that.
[23:48] <Berzerker> what does "opera has no installation candidate" mean?
[23:48] <twobits> can any one recommened a really nice lightweight application launcher? Preferably something much more light weight than gnome do. I've looked around, but there are so many of them!
[23:48] <losha> lobonegro_rlopez: open a browser, go to http://paste.ubuntu.com, copy the output by cutting & pasting it into the browser window, press the button, and then tell us the url it gives you
[23:48] <Griktar> Flannel feel free to elaborate, i'm here to learn ';-)
[23:49] <twobits> so I thought I would see what other people are actually using
[23:49] <Flannel> Griktar: well, it's true that you have two separate installs, but linux doesn't deal with drive letters.  And I don't think windows can install to a D drive.  But yeah, that's close enough.
[23:50] <Griktar> I know it doesn't deal in drive letters but how does it know where to go?
[23:50] <Flannel> Griktar: Your bootloader (the part on the MBR) tells it which one to boot to.
[23:50] <Griktar> is that the UUID stuff?
[23:51] <BronzeAu> Morning / afternoon all:-D
[23:51] <Flannel> Griktar: No, this has nothing to do with your menu.lst, this is all stage1 stuff (menu.lst is stage2 stuff)
[23:51] <lobonegro_rlopez> http://paste.ubuntu.com/286578/
[23:51] <Griktar> Where can I find out how the stage 1 stuff works?
[23:51] <Flannel> Griktar: Think of stage2 as the grub program, it reads your menu.lst, and displays it, etc.  You have two different progrms (one for each distro), and at boot, your MBR runs one of them.
[23:52] <BronzeAu> Can someone tell me where I can get a good Karmic Koala Edubuntu Live CD image from? I got a stuffed Jaunty and a nother stuffed Karmic.
[23:52] <Flannel> BronzeAu: #ubuntu+1 for Karmic questions, thanks
[23:52] <BronzeAu> Ok cool. Thanks.
[23:52] <Flannel> Griktar: Are you looking to swap back? or just want general information? or what?
[23:53] <losha> lobonegro_rlopez: very good. I see a single 160G disk, about 150G of which is dedicated to Ubuntu i.e. all your files are in there.  Type 'df -h' and paste the output, just like last time...
[23:53] <Griktar> Im a tech nerd, so gen information... Can learn to use it later if I choose to :-)
[23:53] <Griktar> Im sure that when i installed 9.10 it will make my ubuntus the main MBR right? lol
[23:53] <passses> Can I change where LILO boots from to a partition contained within a LBA partition
[23:53] <HappyHobo> the Koala rules!
[23:54] <passses> and then use gparted live cd to switch the boot back to primary partition to get my old boot menu back
[23:54] <lobonegro_rlopez> http://paste.ubuntu.com/286580/
[23:54] <kermit> how does grub find menu.lst?
[23:54] <losha> Griktar: the gory details of grub booting are talked about in http://www.geocities.com/thestarman3/asm/mbr/GRUB.htm. Not for the faint of heart...
[23:54] <DaZ> koalas usually rule ;f
[23:54] <ikonia> kermit: it's written into the boot sector
[23:54] <Griktar> Thats losha
[23:54] <kermit> ikonia: but whenever i edit it i dont have to update anything
[23:54] <ikonia> kermit: the pointer is written into the boot sector I mean
[23:54] <passses> can LILO boot from OUTSIDE the boot sector
[23:54] <Flannel> Griktar: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html for general info, for redoing where the MBR stuff points, you can use this howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[23:55] <ikonia> passses: how can you boot something from outside the boot sector?
[23:55] <passses> yes, cos i noticed that I can change the boot flag
[23:56] <ikonia> passses: you can boot lilo from any thing that can be pointed at something to boot
[23:56] <passses> and so thought it would be useful if possible, just to write lilo to a different partition, and preserve my MBR just by switching the boot flag
[23:56] <losha> lobonegro_rlopez: ok, see line 2? It confirms that you're using about almost all your space.  Next, we're going to find out where all the space has gone. Please type the following: cd /; du -x | sort -rn > /tmp/du.out
[23:57] <passses> so I could switch the boot flag in gparted, write LILO and boot from there (outside first 1024 cylinders) and then switch back to my old boot menu MBR at a later point
[23:57] <losha> lobonegro_rlopez: it will take a few minutes to run, because it looks over the whole disk. Just be patient till it returns to the prompt, ok...
[23:57] <unkmar> mgv1: still looking for a solution?
[23:57] <mgv1> unkmar, yes
[23:57] <Serla> how to change the writing language in ubuntu
[23:58] <mgv1> with alt+shift by default
[23:58] <EricInBNE> hi playing a joke on a friend - need some help right away
[23:58] <unkmar> mgv1: I believe my isipphone # is<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[23:58] <EricInBNE> oh never mind. figured out how to make the change
[23:58] <ikonia> EricInBNE: this isn't a comedy channel
[23:58] <Serla> mgv1 but I havent chosen the second language
[23:58] <mgv1> serla- or add it to the panel
[23:58] <Serla> mgv1 how
[23:59] <mgv1> serla- i guess you will need to choose
[23:59] <Serla> mgv1 yes but where will I do that
[23:59] <passses> I've read online that LILO will only work from the first 1024 sectors of a disk
[23:59] <mgv1> serla- i dont know where
[23:59] <passses> does that mean I can set LILO to boot from a different partition
[23:59] <lobonegro_rlopez> ok, so every thing says "Permission Denied", should I have used sudo
