[05:39] <doojin> arrenlex : thanks
[05:40] <pilgrim> cafuego_: that's what I used
[05:40] <Comrade-Sergei> YES IM UP TO EDGY NOW!
[05:40] <TheFettMan> gverig: just search for sound on the page and look at all of the things and try ones that seem appropriate
[05:40] <Comrade-Sergei> hehe
[05:40] <pilgrim> cafuego_: I was just goofing around and looking for service I don't use....didn't know acpid was needed
[05:40] <imbecile_> hey i'm installing kdm when i reboot i should be able to pick desktops correct?
[05:40] <tonyyarusso> !netinstall | hak0
[05:40] <ubotu> hak0: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[05:40] <cafuego_> pilgrim: It's not strictly needed
[05:40] <tonyyarusso> imbecile_: yes
[05:40] <gverig> TheFettMan: k, thanks
[05:41] <S0nyX> hello, i'm having probles running the ./configuration command... i get the following error: checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables can anyone help me?
[05:41] <opshds> bauer77 the primary drive is NTFS with nrldr as the boot loader the second drive is, fat32
[05:41] <cafuego_> pilgrim: But if you like cpu speed scaling, system suspend and system status monitoring it's kinda handy.
[05:41] <kitche> S0nyX: did you install build-essential?
[05:41] <imbecile_> ok i'll bbiam im gonna try out kde
[05:41] <opshds> bauer77 and clean
[05:41] <imbecile_> *poof*
[05:41] <TheFettMan> gverig: check back and see if any of those things work
[05:41] <pilgrim> cafuego_: but anyway...ubuntu-destkop depends on it....so when trying to "fix" it I completely removed everything that depended on it and itself (apcid) now can't get it to install again coz it fails at config.
[05:41] <S0nyX> how do i check if it
[05:42] <S0nyX> if it is installed*
[05:42] <cafuego_> S0nyX: It's not.
[05:42] <cafuego_> S0nyX: (dpkg -l build-erssential)
[05:42] <TheFettMan> S0nyX: just do sudo aptitude install build-essential
[05:42] <cafuego_> Also, use --prefix=/usr/local
[05:42] <skyfish> Hi all, when I type beryl into the terminal, it says detected xserver AIGLX; is it possible to change it to XGL?
[05:43] <cafuego_> or a packaged version of what you're building
[05:43] <kitche> skyfish: yes install XGL
[05:43] <S0nyX> ok so i just write dpkg -l build-erssential on the terminal?
[05:43] <pilgrim> cafuego_: so the question becomes how do I resolve this issue: invoke-rc.d: initscript acpid, action "start" failed.
[05:43] <cafuego_> skyfish: I'm 99% sure you don't want XGL over AIGLX.
[05:43] <skyfish> kitche: I think I've done that through synaptic
[05:43] <gverig> TheFettMan: alsa-utils restart helped :-\ last time I had sh*t like that it was due to multiple engines trying to access DSP
[05:43] <skyfish> kitche: so I'm not sure why it's still detecting AIGLX
[05:44] <kitche> skyfish: probably because when you log in your not using xgl your just use xserver-xorg
[05:44] <skyfish> cafuego: I'm using fglrx so I can't use AIGLX
[05:44] <cafuego_> Ah, heh. ATI. I'll shut up then.
[05:44] <TheFettMan> gverig: so sound is working?
[05:44] <cafuego_> pilgrim: It might depend on something else, dunno.
[05:44] <TheFettMan> gverig: could you clue me in I am not familiar with with DSP
[05:44] <S0nyX> No packages found matching build-essential.
[05:45] <skyfish> kitche: yup~ I tried logging in with an xgl session and it gave me a white screen and I read one of the solutions would be to manually launch beryl through a normal Gnome session
[05:45] <skyfish> cafuego_: hehe, np xD
[05:45] <TheFettMan> S0nyX: just download build-essential from the internet and sudo dpkg -i the package
[05:45] <tonyyarusso> skyfish: FYI, my card recently started working for AIGLX under the free driver in Feisty.
[05:45] <opshds> bauer77 Another problem I've had is my system will completely reboot after the initial boot screen for the live cds loads initrd... no error messages, just a reboot to my graphics card bios
[05:45] <ferret_0567> With the Xubuntu 6.10 alternate CD installer, can I install GRUB on a XFS file system with the bootable flag that is on hdb?
[05:45] <S0nyX> i'm using synaptic package manager
[05:45] <S0nyX> is that ok?
[05:46] <imbecile> K i installed k desktop environment so now i have gnome as well... how do i choose between the 2 desktops
[05:46] <cafuego_> d'oh! d'oh! d'oh!
[05:46] <skyfish> tonyyarusso: do you mean the radeon driver?
[05:46] <arrenlex> imbecile: Log out and choose a different session in gdm.
[05:46] <tonyyarusso> skyfish: yes.
[05:46] <imbecile> arrenlex,  how do i choose the other session?
[05:46] <sethk> imbecile, at the login screen, click on session, choose which one you want
[05:47] <pilgrim> cafuego_: so, since you're like the top dog in this channel, where do I turn to now?
[05:47] <imbecile> ahhh ok
[05:47] <TheFettMan> S0nyX: use the terminal and type sudo aptitude install build-essential (you can copy and paste this in the terminal using shift+ctrl+v)
[05:47] <imbecile> thanks you guys
[05:47] <skyfish> tonyyarusso: which model is your card? I hesitated using the Radeon 1 because for my card it says 3D is only experimental
[05:47] <imbecile> bbiam
[05:47] <TheFettMan> gverig: so sound is working?
[05:47] <tonyyarusso> skyfish: Radeon Mobility X300 (common laptop model, I think)
[05:47] <pilgrim> cafuego_: how do I further discect this command: sudo --configure acpid ?
[05:47] <S0nyX> ohh, ok, thanks
[05:47] <skyfish> tonyyarusso: k thanx, I'll give it a go ^^
[05:48] <tonyyarusso> skyfish: And it's not perfect yet either, but I can get compiz to work, mostly.
[05:48] <cafuego_> pilgrim: Check /var/lib/dpkg/info/acpid.postinst
[05:48] <skyfish> skyfish: alright, I'll give it a go but one more question though
[05:48] <S0nyX> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) - E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[05:48] <S0nyX>  << i got those errors
[05:48] <cafuego_> pilgrim: Run that manually after adding 'set -x' to the top somewhere, it'll spit out debug info.
[05:48] <TheFettMan> what do you use DSP for??
[05:49] <skyfish> tonyyarusso: I'm dualbooting with the card on the driver that came in the box on XP
[05:49] <a1mega> Anyone know of an easy way to bump up the display resolution past 1024 x 768?
[05:49] <TheFettMan> S0nyX: that happens when you have synaptic open while trying to install in the terminal just cloase synaptic
[05:49] <skyfish> tonyyarusso: if I change to the opensource driver will this affect the card in XP?
[05:49] <tonyyarusso> skyfish: shouldn't
[05:49] <skyfish> tonyyarusso: kk, thanx ^^
[05:50] <tonyyarusso> Just an xorg.conf config, totally internal to the OS>
[05:50] <pilgrim> cafuego_: k. lemme try
[05:50] <S0nyX> ohh ok, done anything else i have to do?
[05:52] <S0nyX> i got a new error: configure: error: cannot find setupterm or tgetent any idea what do i need to fix thisone?
[05:53] <a1mega> I was encouraged to make the switch to Ubuntu when my hard drive would not let Windows ME run or re-install.
[05:54] <sethk> S0nyX, you need ncurses
[05:54] <sethk> S0nyX, including the dev packages
[05:54] <bjoyce_> hello
[05:54] <Icehawk78> Can someone point me in the direction of where I need to go to enable DynDNS to upadte my IP on my server?
[05:54] <a1mega> I think it was because there were some bad sectors on my Hard Drive. But Ubuntu recognized and fix this after trying to load it twice! Cool!
[05:54] <pilgrim> cafuego_: this command is called "invoke-rc.d acpid start" and then says that  it's loading acpid modules successfully...but then fails to start with this: invoke-rc.d: initscript acpid, action "start" failed.
[05:55] <cafuego_> pilgrim: Add a 'set -x' to /etc/init.d/acpid too
[05:55] <bjoyce_> Hi, Im trying to mount an external USB 2.0 Hard drive. Not having much luck, can anyone help?
[05:55] <S0nyX> i used search on synaptic for ncurses and i got a whole bunch of ncurses whichone do i install
[05:56] <Icehawk78> !dyndns | me
[05:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dyndns - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:56] <Kr0ntab> sudo apt-get dyndns-client
[05:56] <sethk> S0nyX, the most recent one, and as I said you need both the run time and the dev parts.
[05:57] <macd> Kr0ntab, + install
[05:57] <Kr0ntab> woops
[05:57] <Kr0ntab> <-- goober...    sudo apt-get install dyndns-client
[05:57] <Icehawk78> krontab: It wants me to explicitly select a specific one to install
[05:57] <Icehawk78> Package dyndns-client is a virtual package provided by:
[05:57] <Icehawk78>   ez-ipupdate 3.0.11b8-10ubuntu1
[05:57] <Icehawk78>   ddclient 3.6.7-2ubuntu3
[05:57] <Icehawk78> You should explicitly select one to install.
[05:57] <Icehawk78> E: Package dyndns-client has no installation candidate
[05:57] <pilgrim> cafuego_: right before it fails, this is run: start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/acpid -- -c /etc/acpid/events -s /var/run/acpid.socket
[05:57] <GMWeezel> Is there a way to have a script run when the screen saver comes up?
[05:57] <Opah|Muda|Bdg> hi all
[05:57] <sethk> S0nyX, you need libncurses, libncurses-dev.  you don't need ruby support, don't need 64 unless you are running 64 bit, etc.
[05:58] <sethk> S0nyX, but the pieces are small enough that no harm will be done if you install a few that you don't need
[05:58] <cafuego_> pilgrim: Ok, as root, run '/usr/sbin/acpid -- -c /etc/acpid/events -s /var/run/acpid.socket'
[05:58] <macd> Icehawk78, ez-ipupdate is the GUI-fied version.
[05:58] <Kr0ntab> I havent used the dyndns package before, but check out those packages for more info.
[05:58] <Icehawk78> So if I have no gui installed, then I want the ddclient?
[05:58] <macd> yep.
[05:58] <Kr0ntab> yep
[05:58] <sakobatoneko> anybody know where can i get a library ld.so
[05:58] <sakobatoneko> ?
[05:58] <pilgrim> cafuego_: with sudo you mean?
[05:59] <Opah|Muda|Bdg> skype not running at ubuntu 5.10, why? help me please ^^!
[05:59] <macd> Icehawk78,  then you'll do your config in /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf
[05:59] <cafuego_> pilgrim: yup
[05:59] <pilgrim> k
[05:59] <sakobatoneko> online or sudo
[05:59] <Icehawk78> Thanks much, both of you.
[05:59] <justdave> I installed network-manager-gnome in Edgy and now gnome hangs with a blank window in the upper left corner when I log in.  I tried uninstalling it from the command line, but it didn't help.  If I just leave it and come back 15 minutes later I eventually get a dialog box saying it couldn't start the GNOME settings daemon.
[06:00] <justdave> anyone know what I broke?
[06:00] <doojin> hi
[06:00] <doojin> I tried
[06:00] <doojin> But the screen resolution doesn't go higher
[06:00] <sakobatoneko> anybody know?
[06:00] <GMWeezel> Is it possible to execute a bash script when the Xorg screen saver is run such as one to dismount a volume?
[06:00] <bjoyce_> sorry nope.
[06:00] <Icehawk78> macd: Actually, one other question (for now)... What is the "interface used" for the Dynamic DNS service?
[06:01] <S0nyX> sethk it worked, thanks alot
[06:01] <pilgrim> cafuego_: (this is the error I use to get initally after I remove the acpid package) and I'm getting it when running the command you just said with sudo: acpid: can't open /proc/acpi/event: Device or resource busy
[06:01] <justdave> if I do a ps listing while it's hung, it looks like the last process that started was gnome-keyring-daemon
[06:01] <sethk> S0nyX, np
[06:01] <macd> Icehawk78, as in eth0, etc.
[06:01] <Icehawk78> Oh, oaky.
[06:01] <S0nyX> which is a good identserver? any idea?
[06:01] <cafuego_> pilgrim: Ok, I'd recommend a reboot.
[06:02] <macd> Icehawk78, if your using NAT or something make sure to include use=web in your config.
[06:02] <bjoyce_> Hi
[06:02] <Opah|Muda|Bdg> my skype help me please ^^!,
[06:02] <AVN`> what do I use to open rars?
[06:03] <AVN`> file-roller is not working
[06:03] <macd> Opah|Muda|Bdg, perhaps if you provided more info other than skype not running ubuntu 5.10 we could help you
[06:03] <bjoyce_> AVN: in windows use winrar
[06:03] <Icehawk78> macd, I currently have use=if, if=eth0
[06:03] <Icehawk78> But I am behind a NAT
[06:03] <S0nyX> now i'm getting an error running make, (make[1] : *** [ctcp.o]  Error 1) how do i fix thisone?
[06:03] <macd> Icehawk78, that will set your dyndns info to eth0's IP, you want use=web
[06:03] <Icehawk78> Ah, okay.
[06:03] <pilgrim> cafuego_: will the starting of gdm cause this resource to get busy?
[06:04] <AVN`> bjoyce_ I am using ubuntu ... why would I be using windows?
[06:04] <cafuego_> pilgrim: It certainly should not.
[06:04] <pilgrim> cafuego_: k. be back in a jiffy
[06:04] <justdave> my suspicion is that I got something that shouldn't be into the config for gnome-keyring, but I can't find the settings for that on the filesystem to try to investigate that
[06:04] <Gallius> does anyone know why i am receiving a ton of packets when I am on ubuntu but not when im on windows?
[06:04] <Icehawk78> macd: Do I need to restart the ddclient process now?
[06:04] <bjoyce_> AVN: therer is a linux comand line program, Its got heaps of switches.  the name escapes me at the moment
[06:05] <macd> Icehawk78, I would issue "sudo /etc/init.d/ddclient restart"
[06:05] <GMWeezel> Is there an application to gray scale svg icons?
[06:05] <macd> AVN`, to untar something? install "ark"
[06:05] <Icehawk78> Excellent, thanks much for the help again.
[06:05] <jrattner> Anyone know how to use the Water effect in beryl
[06:05] <macd> Icehawk78, the beauty of a large user based community ;P
[06:06] <Icehawk78> Indeed.
[06:06] <patrialt> does ubuntu have any sort of Firewalling?
[06:06] <Kaso> My firefox seems to have lost the ability to save its configuration, anyone know whats up?
[06:06] <patrialt> Im using Azureus right now, and it thinks im behind a firewall
[06:06] <macd> patrialt, you can install GUI frontends for iptables.
[06:06] <macd> patrialt, your prolly behind a NAT.
[06:06] <patrialt> i already configured my port forwarding macd
[06:07] <macd> patrialt, well by default, if you have not installed firestarter or something similar there are no firewall rules.
[06:07] <pilgrim> cafuego: k. now what?
[06:07] <elyon225> Kaso: My guess would be that your ~/.mozilla/ directory probably has the wrong permissions applied to it.
[06:07] <bjoyce_> AVN, rar is the command in linux.
[06:07] <patrialt> macd any idea why Azureus thinks im behind a firewall then?
[06:08] <S0nyX> has anyone installed BitchX on ubuntu yet?
[06:08] <pdxkid03> hi all - what is this 'red line' marker in x-chat?  i've never understood it.  thanks
[06:08] <macd> Kaso, yes, just do 'ls -al ~/.mozilla'  make sure that matches your username.
[06:08] <cafuego_> S0nyX: Of course not, we use irssi.
[06:08] <justdave> Kaso: you probably ran it while in sudo and it changed your profile permissions to root, so now you can't write to it under your normal user
[06:08] <transgress_> patrialt: could think you're behind a firewall because your isp is blocking bt... what port do you use for it?
[06:08] <cafuego_> pilgrim: Did it boot up with acpi working properly?
[06:08] <patrialt> im using port 63343
[06:08] <justdave> Kaso: sudo chown -R you:you .firefox
[06:08] <macd> patrialt, your machine uses DHCP? if so I bet your port forwarding doesnt match your currently assigned IP, if not then I dont really have another guess
[06:08] <transgress_> hmm
[06:08] <justdave> Kaso: and see if that helps
[06:08] <bjoyce_> Can anyone help me connecting a USB external HDD
[06:09] <macd> bjoyce_, plug it in.
[06:09] <patrialt> Ahh, would my linux have a diff ip than my windows ?
[06:09] <bjoyce_> LOL
[06:09] <bjoyce_> Done that
[06:09] <macd> patrialt, its a good guess.
[06:09] <macd> bjoyce_, did you get a dialog on the screen asking what you want todo with your newly mounted volume?
[06:09] <patrialt> how can i find my lan ip with ubunut?
[06:09] <patrialt> ubuntu*
[06:09] <S0nyX> so irssi is better than BitchX?
[06:10] <patrick_> hey
[06:10] <kitche> patrialt: ifconfig look for ip
[06:10] <macd> patrialt, in console type 'ifconfig' , it will be the eth0 if your adapter is wired ethernet
[06:10] <bjoyce_> No, I can copy past the var/log/messages if you want
[06:10] <patrialt> k ty
[06:10] <macd> bjoyce_, be sure not to paste it in the channel.
[06:11] <hossasaur> since i've installed ubuntu, i've had trouble with sound.  when i plug headphones into my laptop, the sound does not play through the headphones, and still plays through the speakers.  i own an hp dv2035us laptop.
[06:11] <hossasaur> how can i fix this?
[06:11] <matju> if i type Compose _ a, I get  ... how do i get the macron a letter instead?
[06:11] <bjoyce_> OK,  messages listed that the USB storage device was there but it had an I/O error.
[06:12] <pilgrim> cafuego_: acpid isn't installed yet. It fails at configuration stage.
[06:12] <macd> bjoyce_, is the external disk formatted in NTFS by chance?
[06:12] <bjoyce_> yes
[06:12] <macd> bjoyce_, then you wont be using it anytime soon ;)
[06:12] <bjoyce_> OK, so reformat in win32?
[06:12] <macd> bjoyce_, you should use the windows NTFS to FAT32 migration tool
[06:13] <patrialt> macd turns out my dual boot system was confusing me :P windows was telling me my ip ended with .102 and linux says .101
[06:13] <macd> you will not loose data if you use the tool, if you format you loose the data therein
[06:13] <bjoyce_> OK, I would have to do that on a windows box
[06:13] <macd> patrialt, that'll do it ;)
[06:14] <cafuego_> pilgrim: still?
[06:14] <pilgrim> cafuego_: after last reboot
[06:14] <pilgrim> cafuego_: I haven't tried installing it
[06:14] <pilgrim> cafuego_: waiting for your instructions.
[06:14] <duckdown> //Hey all... How can I foce a program that doesn't have built-in SOCKS firewall support to route all of its traffic through mine?  Like I have a SOCKS proxy listening on localhost:1234 , but Opera web browser has no SOCKS support (lame.)  I seem to remember a program like 'socksify' or something that you can prefix the program you want to run with.. (It's not socksify though, cause I installed it and the manpage shows nothing like th
[06:14] <cafuego_> Ah ok, retry installation :-)
[06:14] <duckdown> at)H
[06:14] <patrialt> hehe thanks again macd
[06:14] <patrialt> the linux community really reaches out :P
[06:14] <patrialt> windows = tech snobs
[06:15] <macd> Im a former MVP -AD
[06:15] <macd> put that in your head ;)
[06:15] <patrialt> lol
[06:15] <pilgrim> cafuego_: failed the same way again
[06:15] <patrialt> Most Valuable Player -AD?
[06:15] <macd> mvps.org
[06:15] <patrialt> xD
[06:15] <pilgrim> cafuego_: that /proc/acpi/event thing is still busy.
[06:15] <pilgrim> this is frustrating
[06:16] <cafuego_> pilgrim: then I'm out of ideas...
[06:16] <pilgrim> cafuego_: hmm...well, thanks for trying
[06:16] <patrialt> ahhh
[06:17] <gverig> OK, im back... I can't configure Flash to play sound :( Any ideas other then vi /etc/firefox/firefoxrc -> set to "aoss"?
[06:17] <pilgrim> cafuego_: is there a way to "upgrade" my whole system to the 6.10 edition again?
[06:17] <pilgrim> cafuego_: kind of a fresh start on things
[06:18] <cafuego_> pilgrim: Well... I guess what you could do is use a cd to install 6.10 afresh, without easing the installation disk.
[06:18] <cafuego_> without erasing
[06:18] <cafuego_> pilgrim: You;'d need to manually remove all directories, except for /home and be sure to backup /etc
[06:18] <hossasaur> since i've installed ubuntu, i've had trouble with sound.  when i plug headphones into my laptop, the sound does not play through the headphones, and still plays through the speakers.  i own an hp dv2035us laptop.  as far as i can tell i have the correct drivers for sound and what not.  how can i fix this?
[06:19] <pilgrim> cafuego_: OUCH! That's exactly why I stopped using gentoo. Packages broke and stuff started happening. This sucks.
[06:19] <oreth> hey guys
[06:19] <cafuego_> pilgrim: If it makes you feel any better, this is the first time I've ever ehard of this happening
[06:19] <bruenig> !hi | oreth
[06:19] <ubotu> oreth: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[06:19] <cafuego_> pilgrim: Oh, try this
[06:19] <oreth> i've got, what I assume, is a fairly common problem
[06:19] <macd> hossasaur, there are some adjustments you can make within system --> administration --> sound
[06:20] <oreth> i tried installing 6.10 from the live CD
[06:20] <bruenig> !enter | oreth
[06:20] <ubotu> oreth: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[06:20] <cafuego_> pilgrim: Edit the postinst script and comment out the invoke-rc.d call.
[06:20] <cafuego_> pilgrim: That way installation should continue
[06:20] <Ruffles> is ubiquity (parted) able to resize an ntfs without data loss?
[06:20] <pilgrim> cafuego_: true.
[06:20] <oreth> alright.. let's try this again.
[06:20] <cafuego_> Ruffles: In 9999 out of 10,000 cases.
[06:20] <Ruffles> mmmmm.. i see.. thanks
[06:20] <pilgrim> cafuego_: where was the postinst script again?
[06:21] <imbecile> hey how do i find my hostname un terminal?
[06:21] <CapaH> I understand that ubuntu comes with a pre-installed firewall -- how do I use it/is there a gui?
[06:21] <cafuego_> pilgrim: /var/lib/dpkg/info/acpid.postinst
[06:21] <oreth> Using the 6.10 livecd, i try to install, but it hangs at different places. Now, when trying to run the live cd i get "Cannot mount fs"

[06:21] <ubotu> CapaH: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[06:21] <macd> CapaH, install firestarter.
[06:21] <cafuego_> CapaH: There is a gui, but that's probably not installed.
[06:21] <Ruffles> imbecile, your hostname is right after login@
[06:21] <CapaH> great thanks
[06:21] <cafuego_> CapaH: Check /usr/share/doc/iptables/html for full documentation.
[06:21] <macd> oreth, Im thinking your burn is bad (try slower speed) or your cdrom = flakey.
[06:22] <oreth> macd: yeah... but that brings me to the next problem: can I burn an x86 ubuntu install from my mac? :P

[06:22] <oreth> my PC is the computer I'm installing Ubuntu on.
[06:22] <macd> oreth, its an ISO anything can burn it ;)
[06:22] <User2323> hello, what's the best way to backup an ext3 partition?
[06:22] <macd> ISO = raw disk image.
[06:23] <pilgrim> cafuego_: why is /etc/init.d/acpid still there when acpid package is not installed?
[06:23] <oreth> macd: doh. of course.
[06:23] <macd> User2323, I use ghost4linux.
[06:23] <oreth> sorry: sometimes get the iso/dmg extension mixed up
[06:23] <cafuego_> pilgrim: installed, but not configured
[06:23] <Kaso> justdave as far as i can tell i own the ~/.mozilla/firefox directory and i have rwx permission but im still not getting config saved in firefox, "drwxrwxr--  3 kaso kaso 4096 2007-02-12 14:39 firefox"
[06:23] <hossasaur> macd: i don't see anything dealing with headphones
[06:23] <User2323> macd: how does that work?
[06:23] <macd> oreth, yeah iso/img/dmg etc...
[06:23] <macd> User2323, it works fine for me
[06:23] <pilgrim> cafuego_: fair enough. k. gonna try to fool it now. cross your fings.
[06:23] <oreth> can't open DMG on windows... can open ISO on anything
[06:23] <justdave> anyone have any ideas on why GNOME hangs with an error about the gnome settings daemon failing to start every time I log in?
[06:24] <macd> oreth, yeah thats why you rename the extension to iso on windows ;)
[06:24] <Jackz> Hey everybody!
[06:24] <Jackz> I have returned.
[06:24] <borgista> justdave: I have the same issue!
[06:24] <borgista> After installing beryl, to no avail.
[06:24] <User2323> macd: if I backup and restore the partition, will the permissions be preserved?
[06:24] <borgista> Gnome honags, but KDE works.
[06:24] <oreth> macd: oh.. you think you're so smart... :P
[06:24] <borgista> Gnome apps load after minutes!
[06:24] <oreth> i feel dumb :(
[06:24] <justdave> in my case it was after installing network-manager-gnome
[06:24] <macd> User2323, ghost4linux copies the data bit for bit.
[06:24] <pilgrim> cafuego_: seems to have worked. Now going to try to reboot just in case and see if GUI works.
[06:24] <User2323> macd: great, thanks
[06:24] <macd> User2323, it doesnt care about the data, filesystem or anything else.
[06:25] <borgista> justdave: know of any fixes.
[06:25] <cafuego_> pilgrim: I'd finish the upgrade first
[06:25] <justdave> if I did I wouldn't be asking ;)
[06:25] <Peacer> I need help with ssh
[06:25] <macd> Peacer, how about more info first
[06:25] <Peacer> where's the ssh config, for when I run an ssh server?
[06:25] <oreth> macd: assuming that the new burn works, but, i still can't mount the Filesystem. is there anyway to take my drive back to null using the ubuntu install?
[06:25] <Peacer> :p
[06:25] <pilgrim> cafuego_: how?
[06:25] <CapaH> Unable to start guarddog firewall - /etc/rc.firewall does not exist
[06:25] <pilgrim> cafuego_: I mean, what upgrade?
[06:25] <macd> Peacer, /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[06:26] <Jackz> So.. new problem.  Feisty's Alpha doesn't boot with artifacts like Edgy, and Dapper did for me.. but now when I try to install the most recent drivers, and then reboot.. it tells me that my xorg config is screwy.  If I do the command installing the drivers told me to, to restore the original xorg config, will I be able to run the drivers?
[06:26] <CapaH> this is after apt-get install guarddog (I am using kde)
[06:26] <justdave> that's pretty much what mine's doing...  everything hangs for about 5 minutes, then all the apps start and I have that error dialog.
[06:26] <macd> oreth, back to null?
[06:26] <bkudria> i need an app to draw directed graphs, with labelled nodes and connections.  can anyone recommend anything?
[06:26] <cafuego_> pilgrim: Um, this happened during an upgrade to 6.10 right?
[06:26] <oreth> macd: how do I clear the masterboot record and format the hard drive?
[06:26] <Peacer> where's the ssh config, for when I run an ssh server? (i'm in a hurry if I seem rough)
[06:26] <macd> oreth, ahhh, any bootdisk would work.
[06:27] <oreth> UBCD?
[06:27] <macd> Peacer, I just told you.
[06:27] <macd> Peacer, /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[06:27] <macd> oreth, universal boot cd?
[06:27] <pilgrim> cafuego_: nah nah. I was just being smart and wanted to stop some unwanted services. I unchecked the box from acpid in system>admin>services and then found out battery had no status then in an attempt to get acpid to work again I uninstalled stuff the depended on it and itself and then you helped me get back the stuff that depends on it which is gnome-session and ubuntu-desktop and other essencial stuff.
[06:27] <oreth> macd: yeah
[06:28] <macd> should work fine.
[06:28] <oreth> ok.
[06:28] <mei> #eclipse
[06:28] <cafuego_> pilgrim: aah ok
[06:28] <oreth> secondary question: i've seen some really nifty stuff with beryl, does it work in 6.10?
[06:28] <pilgrim> cafuego_: so going to restart and then I'll log back in.
[06:28] <Peacer> macd thanks, much appreciated
[06:28] <macd> oreth, yes it does
[06:28] <Peacer> didn't see it before now :S
[06:28] <oreth> easy to setup?
[06:28] <CapaH> Question --- I am trying to run an application to bind to a particular port (lets say port 600 for the sake of argument) --- however it tells me another application is bound to that port. How can I find out which application?
[06:28] <Peacer> channel activity
[06:29] <macd> oreth, I didnt find it hard, just use apt-get to install the packages make a new gnome session with it, off you go.
[06:29] <CaptainMorgan> might someone be able to assist me in installing javac? It can't be found in Adept, and someone suggested 'alternatives' and I had no clue what that meant.
[06:29] <arrenlex> !java | CaptainMorgan
[06:29] <ubotu> CaptainMorgan: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository
[06:29] <imbecile> what do you guys think i should use as port for NX free edition?
[06:30] <macd> imbecile, use whatever you want.
[06:30] <oreth> macd: yeah, I've done Ubuntu in the past, but never for my main OS. Just enough to screw around with. I know quite abit about the unix/linux command interface. But I've never used it for my main OS
[06:30] <oreth> I've lost my Windows XP Activation code, and I had to borrow a copy. I've got 3 days till the activation runs out :P
[06:30] <_siegfried_> Can someone help me with the password for cups? http://localhost:631 is prompting me for a password. Normally I would use root but I don't have the password for that account.
[06:30] <oreth> so, i'm installing Ubuntu for full use
[06:30] <macd> oreth, I use it in parallels in osx mostly, but also native with bootcamp.
[06:31] <oreth> the only thing That I see could be a problem for me is making WoW work.
[06:31] <macd> _siegfried_, defualt has no password.
[06:31] <macd> oreth, well for your crack addictiomn j/k use cedega.
[06:31] <Frogzoo_> !appdb | oreth
[06:31] <ubotu> oreth: Appdb is a database of apps & help for programs that run under wine: see http://appdb.winehq.org
[06:31] <oreth> I've got a copy of cedega
[06:32] <oreth> just not sure I wanna pay per month to use cedega for a pay per month game :
[06:32] <Peacer> how do I know if my ssh server is running?
[06:32] <timfrost> CapaH: lsof -i tcp:600 will list all programs that have that port open
[06:32] <cafuego_> Peacer: ssh localhost
[06:32] <oreth> peacer: ssh localhost -u user -p password
[06:32] <macd> Peacer, "ps ax | grep sshd"
[06:33] <_siegfried_> macd, could you elaborate? I tried typing in an account name of "default" (without the quotes) and that did not work. I tried an zero length account name and that did not work.
[06:33] <macd> _siegfried_, there should be no user:pass required, if there is use your user:pass
[06:33] <pilgrim> cafuego, guess what? it's working now ....battery status that is....don't know why though.
[06:33] <Frogzoo_> oreth: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft
[06:34] <oreth> checking...

[06:34] <Peacer> and restarting it?
[06:34] <_siegfried_> macd, I tried that and it did not work. My account name is "siegfried" and I put that and my password in. Should I enable the root account?
[06:34] <pilgrim> cafuego, does that mean acpid is running?
[06:35] <oreth> Frogzoo: is that current?
[06:35] <macd> Peacer, /etc/init.d/ssh restart
[06:35] <Peacer> thank you
[06:35] <Peacer> :D
[06:35] <macd> _siegfried_, you should not need to, your account should work. but you can enable the root account.
[06:35] <Peacer> thank you for your help
[06:35] <Peacer> I'll get on later, from school ;)
[06:36] <Peacer> \o
[06:36] <oreth> macd: must get tiring, man
[06:37] <macd> oreth, repetitive more like ;) but the FOSS is all about giving back
[06:37] <oreth> FOSS?
[06:38] <macd> free and open source software
[06:38] <oreth> roger that
[06:38] <oreth> I'm a "software" designer.
[06:38] <oreth> Mostly PHP and C# developement
[06:39] <oreth> I work for Texas Tech University
[06:39] <oreth> i'm a "soft" programmer, as per my colleagues :P
[06:39] <Frogzoo_> oreth: the WoW wiki pages is regularly updated
[06:39] <macd> We dumped php a while back in favor of RoR ;P not the php had a lack of decent frameworks, but inherently is sure has its issues securitywise.
[06:40] <oreth> Frogzoo: i appreciate it.
[06:40] <oreth> macd: my boss desperately wants me to learn RoR
[06:40] <oreth> i've done a bit of research, but no real coding just yet
[06:41] <macd> its utopian object oriented language, that I can say. and on freenode the #rubyonrails community is great.
[06:41] <Ruffles> how do i resize devshm to make it bigger?
[06:41] <oreth> macd: really?
[06:41] <macd> Ruffles, the real question is why you would need to
[06:41] <Ruffles> to run qemu
[06:41] <cchance> Am i doing this right? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6517/
[06:41] <oreth> i learned PHP on my own, using php.net as a system reference
[06:42] <oreth> i've gone back and relearned it using correct coding procedures. It would have been great to have had a support team while learning PHP
[06:42] <oreth> i had to teach myself C# from an o'rielly publication
[06:42] <oreth> I <3 o'rielly
[06:43] <macd> Ruffles, /etc/default/tmpfs is the answer.
[06:43] <LazyProfessional> i cannot install ubuntu 6.10 becuase everytime i start the live cd, and it autodetects it finds my integrated video card and not the pci card i have installed, then it fails to start x windos and then just locks up, is there any way i can fix this?
[06:43] <oreth> I'm a senior at Texas Tech. When I started my college carreer, many many years ago, I was a Computer Science major... I'm now a psychology major :P
[06:43] <Ruffles> macd, what size should i put there to make it 128mb ?
[06:44] <macd> LazyProfessional, you need to download and burn the alternate install disc, then install using it.
[06:44] <cchance> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6517/ o tryed installing VMWARE but this i think inhibit me
[06:44] <macd> Ruffles, did you read what it said in the file? ;)
[06:44] <Ruffles> yes
[06:44] <macd> then make 128mb into bytes.
[06:44] <Ruffles> how much is 128mb in bytes?
[06:44] <macd> 129096 is what you want.
[06:44] <Ruffles> oh thanks buddy
[06:45] <oreth> who created ubuntu: was it one guy? or a coding team?
[06:45] <oreth> or, is it community developed?
[06:45] <Ruffles> macd, yeah so what now? should i umount and mount it back again?
[06:45] <cafuego_> oreth: Debian did.
[06:45] <cafuego_> oreth: ... which is a large group of people.
[06:46] <oreth> cafuego: i understood that the core of it is debian's work, but I thought there was a seperate group creating the entity that is Ubuntu
[06:46] <LazyProfessional> -?
[06:46] <macd> Ruffles, "sudo mount -a"
[06:47] <Jackz> When I install the most recent drivers from Synaptic, and reboot, I get xserver errors, and the most recent drivers from nvidia are different, more up to date.. should I use them instead?  Also, if I recover the original config with the command it gives me after installing the drivers, will it fix my problem?
[06:47] <macd> Ruffles, OR mount -o remount,size=129096k /dev/shm
[06:47] <Ruffles> macd, and what's /dev/shm for?
[06:47] <timfrost> Ruffles, macd scaled it badly. 128MB = 128 * 1024 * 1024 = 134217728
[06:47] <ireshguy> Hey guys, I'm trying to test curl for posting, and I do this command -> curl -d "message=test" -d "subject=test" http://txt.7chan.org/i/res/4212.html and all it does is return the source of the page and doesn't post anything. Help?
[06:47] <macd> timfrost, its in kb not b ;)
[06:47] <cafuego_> oreth: Yup, a bunch of people.
[06:47] <macd> I typoed earlier
[06:47] <mzanfardino> assuming for a moment I want to add an iso image to my apt sources.list resource file, how exactly would I format the entry?
[06:47] <untung> hello
[06:48] <ireshguy> Does anyone know anything about curl here? :<
[06:48] <Ruffles> damn.. it says there's no /dev/shm in fstab :/
[06:48] <pilgrim> Has the automatic resizing tool in the ubuntu installation ever worked for anyone? I tried to use it for a firend....failed. ....bad for reputation.
[06:48] <cafuego_> hint: size=128m
[06:48] <untung> i have a usb harddrive box. how can i protect it from access by other user?
[06:48] <untung> can i set up a password for the hard drive?
[06:48] <kitche> pilgrim: never trust an automatic resizing tool
[06:48] <macd> Ruffles, thats b/c /dev/shm is a virtual filesystem
[06:48] <pilgrim> kitche, well...at least it didn't corrupt it. thank God.
[06:49] <ireshguy> Untung: If the harddrive box is used for Linux, you could reset the permission on it through chmod.
[06:49] <cafuego_> pilgrim: Worked fine on the iBook here.
[06:49] <macd> Ruffles, use the second command I posted.
[06:49] <Jackz> When I install the most recent drivers from Synaptic, and reboot, I get xserver errors, and the most recent drivers from nvidia are different, more up to date.. should I use them instead?  Also, if I recover the original config with the command it gives me after installing the drivers, will it fix my problem?
[06:49] <jason0_> Anyone know of a firefox download extension that will put files (filtering on file type) into specified directories?
[06:49] <pilgrim> kitche, how should I do this thing? I tried gparted that's no the livecd but that failed too.
[06:49] <untung> ireshguy: the harddrive is portable
[06:49] <pilgrim> cafuego, strange.
[06:49] <macd> Jackz, yes, no, yes.
[06:49] <Ruffles> rafael@mordor:~$ sudo mount -o remount,size=129096k /dev/shm
[06:49] <Ruffles> mount: can't find /dev/shm in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[06:49] <ireshguy> Untung: Then I dunno. Sorry. :<
[06:49] <pilgrim> cafuego, so any idea on why acpid is working now?
[06:49] <macd> err no, yes ;P
[06:49] <cafuego_> pilgrim: short of "karma", no ;-)
[06:49] <Jackz> I was gonna say.. I only asked two questions. :D
[06:50] <Jackz> Thanks.
[06:50] <untung> ireshguy: if it is found by someone else i prefer it has a password before someone else can see the content
[06:50] <kitche> pilgrim: I don't trust automatic tools for resizing learned that from windows lol
[06:50] <macd> Ruffles, odd, just reboot and the changes you made in /etc/default/tmpfs will take effect.
[06:50] <pilgrim> cafuego, as much as I love solving stuff...I hate it when I don't know what solved it
[06:50] <Ruffles> alright
[06:50] <cafuego_> Ruffles: I mount /dev/shm on a location.
[06:50] <pilgrim> cafuego, but thanks a bunch for your help
[06:50] <cafuego_> grr
[06:50] <ireshguy> Untung: Well, the best way to do that is just format it as EXT3 and chmod it.
[06:51] <adri_> hey guys
[06:51] <mzanfardino> is there a way to add an ISO file to sources.list for apt?  I'd like to replace the cdrom entry to point to an ISO file for my installation...
[06:51] <timfrost> macd, the file states 'SHM_SIZE sets the maximum size (in bytes)', so you DO need to use bytes,m rather than KB or other scaled values - hence the value  I cited is correct
[06:51] <ireshguy> Does anyone know anything about curl here? :<
[06:51] <adri_> yes there is
[06:52] <mzanfardino> ireshguy: !ask
[06:52] <adri_> you take it to the SHM_SIZE sets, then press, send too desktop and copy three times
[06:52] <macd> timfrost, then we should hope he changed it ;) or else he'll be rebooting again
[06:52] <ireshguy> !ask curl
[06:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ask curl - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:52] <ireshguy> er, crap
[06:52] <timfrost> !curl

[06:53] <ireshguy> ^^ That's what I'm trying to do
[06:53] <ireshguy> It's not working thus far. :<
[06:54] <untung> ireshguy: can i set a password?
[06:54] <adri_> mzanfardino, do an SSH tunnel to your school net work and write a bash script to download the latest dragon Ball z episodes
[06:54] <ireshguy> Untung: Your password would be whatever your root password is.
[06:54] <adri_> !botsnack
[06:54] <ubotu> Yum!
[06:55] <zoidberg> hey guys
[06:55] <macd> mzanfardino, in all reality you cann remove the cdrom line from source.list after you install its fairly useless.
[06:55] <justdave> ok, for the record, I found the answer to my problem on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/control-center/+bug/61381
[06:55] <Talaman> hello there

[06:55] <macd> zoidberg, "apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" should work
[06:55] <justdave> the short version is it clobbered my /etc/networking/interfaces and the localhost network interface was missing from the list
[06:55] <zoidberg> i type " sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop"
[06:55] <adri_> untung, my password is ilovepinkgirls maybe it might work for you too

[06:58] <macd> what cafuego_ says as well.
[06:58] <macd> adri_, that barbie, duh.
[06:58] <adri_> nickreynolds, I created a bash script to download them all using wget, and others using bit torrent and gnutella,, sweet aye?
[06:59] <adri_> macd, thanks, I was hoping someone that's also into barbies to correct me
[06:59] <ireshguy> Untung: Well... I dunno. All I know is that would effectively keep it secure.
[06:59] <macd> adri_, anytime ;)
[07:00] <adri_> ireshguy, I don't use passwords, I just lock up my computer into a vault
[07:00] <nickreynolds> Does the sun set in the western sky for a reason or is the earth as we know it only thoughts that come from within and reality as we know it not true
[07:00] <petetetete> anyone got a quick suggestion on getting an on board lan to work with ubuntu from an old compaq presario 5600i
[07:00] <petetetete> ?
[07:00] <adri_> !offtopic | nickreynolds
[07:00] <ubotu> nickreynolds: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[07:00] <test3D> how do I enable theme switching on the gdm ?
[07:00] <untung> ireshguy: does ubuntu has the capability to encript harddrive?
[07:00] <adri_> nickreynolds, or if you say ubotu-owns in the beginning of your message it'll go 'under the radar'
[07:01] <Frogzoo> petetetete: if it doesn't work out of the box it may take some fiddling
[07:01] <untung> ireshguy: consider if you have a tumb drive and get lost.. person who find it will able to access your data
[07:01] <petetetete> i am ready to fiddle
[07:01] <CaptainMorgan> my sudo apt-get install sun-java5-bin went smooth, but still the command javac is still not found.... any ideas?
[07:01] <adri_> CaptainMorgan, sudo apt-get install moon-buggy
[07:01] <hossasaur> macd: there aren't any adjustments relating to headphone jacks
[07:02] <jmazaredo_> is ssh server enabled in ubuntu desktop on default?
[07:02] <CaptainMorgan> adri_, are you serious?
[07:02] <macd> jmazaredo_, no.
[07:02] <Frogzoo> petetetete: 1st use 'lspci' to find out if the card's recognisable, then check in /var/log/messages for the kernel loading a driver
[07:02] <jmazaredo_> ty
[07:02] <adri_> CaptainMorgan, it's known to fix the java tool usage order
[07:02] <adri_> CaptainMorgan, or install jdk
[07:02] <justdave> how do I find out what driver my wifi card is currently using?
[07:03] <Ruffles> macd, how much is 144mb in bytes?
[07:03] <oreth> ok.. i've got an nvidia videocard.. anything special i need todo to install drivers for it
[07:03] <oreth> 144* 1024
[07:04] <adri_> !language  | oreth
[07:04] <ubotu> oreth: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[07:04] <macd> Ruffles, 144 * 1024 * 1024
[07:04] <petetetete> it's an onboard chip, but I think it is showing up on the pci bus as "DECchip 21142/43"
[07:04] <oreth> adri- WHAT?
[07:04] <adri_> !nvidia | oreth
[07:04] <ubotu> oreth: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:04] <petetetete> that's what device manager and lspci say
[07:04] <macd> oreth, disregard adri_ hes being festicious.
[07:04] <oreth> did i curse?
[07:04] <Ruffles> rafael@mordor:~$ qemu -boot c -hda /dev/hda1
[07:04] <Ruffles> qemu: could not open hard disk image '/dev/hda1'
[07:04] <oreth> facetious?
[07:05] <adri_> !nvidia | oreth
[07:05] <Ruffles> and how am i supposed to fix that?
[07:05] <Talaman> question: how do i change my display settings manually...currently when i go to change them through the gui it only lets me set them to the highest at 60, but if i try something smaller it sets it to 70 and my screen goes black
[07:05] <adri_> !xorg.conf | Talaman
[07:05] <ubotu> Talaman: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[07:05] <timfrost> Ruffles: what are the permissions on /dev/hda1?
[07:06] <Ruffles> timfrost, /dev/hda1             9.8G  8.4G  1.4G  86% /media/hda1
[07:06] <justdave> petetetete: I had one of those machines, and I never got the onboard ethernet working in Fedora... I wound up dropping a PCI NIC in a free slot and configuring it to use that instead.  Never tried it with Ubuntu though, and the driver landscape has changed some in the last couple years.
[07:06] <Ruffles> oooops...
[07:06] <macd> Ruffles, you need to sudo
[07:06] <adri_> yeah ruffles, you need to sumo
[07:06] <timfrost> Ruffles: that is NOT permissions.  What does 'ls -l /dev/hda1' report?
[07:06] <Ruffles> macd, oh man now u got the word :D
[07:06] <Ruffles> thanks
[07:07] <Ruffles> timfrost, yeah i've noticed
[07:07] <oreth> ok
[07:07] <petetetete> one of the two lights in the ethernet connector stays on regardless of a cord plugged in or a link
[07:07] <Talaman> not looking to restart it
[07:08] <oreth> so.. it's gonna take me about a week to getmy pc back up and running :P
[07:08] <Ruffles> how do i enable kqemu? it doesn't seem to be installed i guess
[07:08] <Talaman> looking to get it to use the right frequency at all levels
[07:08] <petetetete> the corresponding light on my network switch also does not come on to show a connected source
[07:08] <mindstate> i'm having trouble with the Ati driver, when i try to use fglrx driver X doesnt start up
[07:08] <macd> petetetete, is that an onboard nic?
[07:08] <petetetete> yeah, it is onboard
[07:08] <macd> all onboards stay lit when the link is good.
[07:08] <macd> even with the PC off ;)
[07:09] <petetetete> but it stays lit regardless of anything being plugged into it
[07:09] <macd> petetetete, ohh I missed that, its prolly bad.
[07:09] <petetetete> and even when plugging something in, the switch does not see even a link
[07:09] <macd> petetetete, power surge something along those lines
[07:09] <petetetete> that's what i am starting to think
[07:10] <zoidberg> hey guys is tehre a remote X window session client that works well with ubuntu
[07:10] <zoidberg> ?
[07:10] <petetetete> does the network card need to be told to show a link or is that so low level to the hardware that it should show link regardless of what driver / operating system is behind it?
[07:10] <macd> zoidberg, you trying to use a forwarded x-session?
[07:10] <macd> petetetete, thats hardware level.
[07:10] <Frogzoo> petetetete: did a driver load? does ifconfig eth0 up work?
[07:11] <zoidberg> macd, well i'm not sure....i thought like an ssh session that was an x-session
[07:11] <CaptainMorgan> apparently, I have installed it correctly now... but it's the wrong versions... I need java version 1.6 for both java and javac
[07:11] <macd> zoidberg, what are you trying to accomplish?
[07:11] <CaptainMorgan> how do I get them?
[07:12] <petetetete> as in the command "ifconfig eth0 up"
[07:12] <petetetete> ?
[07:12] <zoidberg> macd, i'm trying to ssh into a computer where i have an account but in a GUI atmosphere not just shell interface
[07:12] <macd> zoidberg, you can tunnel an forwarded x-session through ssh.
[07:12] <Frogzoo> proudfoot__: as in 'sudo ifconfig eth0 up'
[07:13] <zoidberg> macd, lets back up...i have the an acocunt on another machine...i want to ssh into that machine but in a GUI X-session enviornemnet
[07:13] <goban> how do i change my resolution to 1680x1050
[07:14] <macd> zoidberg, it depends on the remote machine does it have X? are trhe sessions forwarded?
[07:14] <timfrost> zoidberg: access the remote machine with 'ssh remote'
[07:14] <petetetete> i typed it, typed the password that i created at startup (i'm assuming that is the password I need to use?) and it didn't say success or failure, does that mean wrong password?
[07:14] <Frogzoo> petetetete: does ifconfig now show eth0 up with no ip?
[07:15] <zoidberg> macd, i think it does
[07:15] <S0nyX> anyone knows of a good ident server of ubuntu?
[07:15] <petetetete> i gave it a static ip
[07:15] <zoidberg> macd, coz i can use this windows client called XMING and i can log in using an XMDCP  and it logs in with GUI
[07:15] <Ruffles> zoidberg, VNC would be an option for ya
[07:15] <macd> zoidberg, well you would have to set that up, chances are its a shell on a linux box its command line only.
[07:15] <Frogzoo> S0nyX: apt-cache search ident
[07:15] <macd> zoidberg, ahhhhh
[07:15] <petetetete> but it says "UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST"
[07:16] <Jackz> cp /var/backups/xorg/xorg.conf.2007-02-19-00:13:27 /ect/X11/xorg.conf
[07:16] <Jackz> cp: cannot create regular file `/ect/X11/xorg.conf': No such file or directory
[07:16] <EdgEy> etc
[07:16] <EdgEy> :P
[07:16] <petetetete> and it says the ip address I gave it
[07:16] <macd> zoidberg, you can use xdcmp with ubuntu, just choose the XDCMP session in gnome before you login, then give it the remote machines address.
[07:16] <Frogzoo> petetetete: perfect - edit /etc/network/interfaces for eth0 to suit & you're in business
[07:16] <Jackz> That's the command I'm supposed to use to restore the old xorg config? ..
[07:16] <EdgEy> Jackz,
[07:16] <Kr0ntab> the trouble with forwarding X via SSH is that it's a little slow, especially when doing this via WAN speed networks.  You should really check out NXclient by NoMachine.  They offer a commercial version, but a free one is always available.
[07:16] <EdgEy> etc
[07:16] <EdgEy> not ect
[07:16] <Kr0ntab> www.nomachine.com
[07:16] <Jackz> Yes, Edge?
[07:16] <Kr0ntab> and.. its all done via ssh
[07:17] <EdgEy> Jackz, /ect/X11/xorg.conf': No such file or directory - it's /etc
[07:17] <subzone> anyone familiar with isc dhcpd? when the clients connect to the dhcpd, it's unable to resolve any hostname. i can however do 'ping google.com', but not 'host google.com'. my client /etc/resolv.conf is my dhcpd address
[07:17] <zoidberg> macd, thanx
[07:17] <Kr0ntab> they have a .deb on their site as well.
[07:17] <petetetete> well it still doesn't show a device present (link light) on my network switch
[07:17] <subzone> the machine running dhcpd is not running a DNS server.
[07:17] <doojin> hi
[07:17] <doojin> Many of my ubuntu problems are solved
[07:17] <petetetete> and i just checked this cable with the computer I am talking to you on
[07:17] <EdgEy> Jackz, though you will probably first have to mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.somebackup
[07:17] <Jackz> D'oh. That would be the problem. Thanks.
[07:18] <doojin> BMP and other music players display korean broken
[07:18] <doojin> What is the problem?
[07:18] <doojin> My file browser displays them well
[07:18] <de3m> how would I copy a list of files that begin with numbers
[07:18] <Frogzoo> petetetete: first install net-tools
[07:18] <macd> doojin, most likely your missing the locales.
[07:18] <Jackz> What is this.. mv it? 'Cause now I've got Permission Denied?
[07:19] <doojin> macd : what locales/
[07:19] <macd> doojin, the korean ones I suppose
[07:19] <S0nyX> Frogozoo after apt-cache search ident what do i do?
[07:19] <doojin> macd : there are some korean locales, but I don't know how to change locale
[07:19] <petetetete> i think i already have it installed
[07:19] <macd> doojin, I really dont know exactly what to tell you, If I swapped to korean on one of my machines Id be lost.
[07:20] <Jackz> EdgEy, what did you mean? MV it.. I believe you said? :S
[07:20] <Frogzoo> petetetete: check your autoneg settings with 'sudo mii-tool eth0'
[07:20] <EdgEy> Jackz it is a command
[07:20] <EdgEy> mv - moves a file
[07:20] <darkch1ld> is there any way to uninstall openoffice, or any of the other apps that come with ubuntu?
[07:21] <petetetete> gui has tabs for ping, netstat, traceroute, port scan, lookup, finger, whois
[07:21] <EdgEy> i mean, before you copy the backup back, you might have to move the config file that is already there
[07:21] <EdgEy> or delete it
[07:21] <Frogzoo> darkch1ld: dpkg --purge package
[07:21] <Jackz> Mm.. kay
[07:21] <petetetete> it showed up with the default install, are you talking about a different application?
[07:22] <treeform> hey how to merge 2 files ?  i need to merge first.bin + second.bin ?
[07:22] <macd> treeform, use cat.
[07:22] <Frogzoo> petetetete: check your autoneg settings with 'sudo mii-tool eth0'
[07:22] <petetetete> eth0: 100mbit, halfduplex, no link
[07:22] <darkch1ld> frogzoo: when i try to remove open office, it wants to remove the whole ubuntu desktop
[07:23] <treeform> macd: thanks will try
[07:23] <ferret_0567> Can anybody tell me why I have a pretty light show when I shut down in Xubuntu 6.10 with a Intel i810 video card?
[07:23] <Frogzoo> darkch1ld: oh I se...
[07:23] <dxdt> darkch1ld, don't worry about "ubuntu-desktop" it is a scary metapackage
[07:23] <ferret_0567> Blinking green cubes and stuff, something is wrong, that is not intentional
[07:23] <darkch1ld> ugh, i hope this doesn't b0rk my install
[07:23] <dxdt> it sounds like it will remove everything but it isn't, it is just a meta package that is a list of what comes with the basic install.  Since you are removing a component of the basic install, it removes that list.
[07:24] <doojin> maybe I'm getting used to linux
[07:24] <dxdt> I've done it multiple times.  "ubuntu-desktop" is scary as hell, but isn't an actual program
[07:24] <ferret_0567> It's weird
[07:24] <doojin> Nowadays I often think about manual when I have a problem
[07:24] <dxdt> haha yeah I was scared as all hell when I first removed it too
[07:24] <skar> hi, i've got a asus p5b with core2duo, installer gets stuck detecting ide cd/hdd
[07:24] <hanzomon4> doojin did you fix your X issue
[07:24] <macd> treeform, i.e. cat file1 file2 > combinedfile
[07:24] <treeform> macd: lol it crashed my shell every thing looks like this now : @-://OS$  4. .
[07:24] <skar> is there any latest livecd which works/installs fine?
[07:24] <petetetete> Frogzoo: i ran that command and it returns "eth0: 100Mbit, half duplex, no link"
[07:25] <Frogzoo> skar: try with boot option 'acpi=off'
[07:25] <macd> treeform, you should have read howto use cat first ;P  just type "clear"
[07:25] <doojin> hanzomon4 : what exactly was it?
[07:25] <skar> Frogzoo: ok will try it
[07:25] <doojin> hanzomon4 : It was fixed, but I don't know how it was fixed
[07:25] <Frogzoo> proudfoot__: there ya go - no link - what's this plugging into?
[07:25] <macd> treeform, then cat file1 file2 > targetfile
[07:25] <hanzomon4> ok
[07:25] <treeform> macd: that that
[07:25] <petetetete> a linksys router/switch
[07:25] <S0nyX> Frogozoo: after apt-cache search ident what do i do?
[07:25] <treeform> macd: thanks but it was fun
[07:26] <petetetete> i have verified that the cable and the port on the switch work
[07:26] <Frogzoo> petetetete: that supports 100BT?
[07:26] <Jackz> Why would I not have permissions to change the file?  If I reboot now, it'll tell me no device is found, and I'll end up with modifying the config from there.. could I run the copy then? From that prompt?
[07:26] <petetetete> yeah
[07:26] <macd> Jackz, b/c you did not sudo first.
[07:26] <Jackz> Raah..
[07:26] <darkch1ld> frogzoo: thanks
[07:26] <petetetete> it's your standard linksys befsr41
[07:26] <Jackz> But I did sudo.
[07:26] <ferret_0567> Type "reset" if "clear" does not work treeform.
[07:27] <Jackz> I still have permission denied.
[07:27] <Frogzoo> petetetete: 1st try 'sudo mii-tool -F 100BaseTx-FD eth0'
[07:27] <treeform> ferret_0567: did that thanks
[07:27] <Frogzoo> petetetete: 1st try 'sudo mii-tool -F 100baseTx-FD eth0'
[07:27] <macd> Jackz, thats rather impossible, unless the file is in use by another process.
[07:27] <petetetete> ok, did that
[07:27] <Jackz> Hrr...
[07:28] <Frogzoo> petetetete: now 'sudo mii-tool eth0'
[07:28] <petetetete> eth0 no link
[07:28] <Frogzoo> petetetete: next try a crossover cable
[07:28] <petetetete> hmmm, good idea
[07:28] <petetetete> brb
[07:29] <macd> ummm it doesnt matter to a switch if its xover or not
[07:29] <macd> but its a different cable so that _might_ help ;)
[07:30] <Frogzoo> macd: this is an old laptop, so MDI might be borked
[07:30] <ACETAC1> can someone tell me how to reinstall bugzilla and start installing a fresh copy of it? thanks
[07:30] <czer323> Lose the game
[07:30] <macd> ACETAC1, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure bugzilla"
[07:30] <RememberPOL> nvidiafb: Unknown symbol i2c_bit_add_bus
[07:30] <RememberPOL> Any idea...?
[07:31] <RememberPOL> It's causing X to crash :/
[07:31] <petetetete> no crossover cable, but i do have a crossover adapter, and i plugged that in and it didn't light anything up
[07:31] <ACETAC1> macd, thanks i'll give that a try
[07:31] <petetetete> well i did verify that the cable itself is fine
[07:31] <petetetete> i plugged it into this machine and it lit up and worked and everything
[07:32] <petetetete> without the crossover adapter
[07:32] <ubuntu> Hi, i have a problem, when i start up my computer and login it starts x then immediattly shuts it down, i even tried loggin in to another tty and doing "startx" but it did the same thing, i even reconfigured x, does anyone know how to fix this so i can boot up?
[07:32] <ACETAC1> macd. the command "sudo dpkg-reconfigure bugzilla" returns "/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: bugzilla is broken or not fully installed"
[07:32] <Frogzoo> petetetete: k, now plug this machine into the router - to test the router nic
[07:32] <Talaman> hey, where do i go to change my monitor settings? in the gui that is
[07:32] <macd> ACETAC1, "sudo apt-get install -f bugzilla"
[07:34] <skar> Frogzoo: nope 6.06 desktop cd stops at mounting root partition, even with acpi=off
[07:34] <Frogzoo> skar: you've checked the cd?
[07:34] <petetetete> like the one I am talking to you on?
[07:34] <Frogzoo> proudfoot__: the port
[07:34] <skar> Frogzoo: yup installed using cd on another system
[07:35] <Jackz> Okay - So I got the sudo-ness down.. but the new config is still screwy - Moving windows is choppy - scrolling through windows is choppy
[07:35] <skar> Frogzoo: seems the JMicron IDE controller isn't detected correctly on ubuntu 2.6.15 kernel
[07:35] <hagabaka> why does apt-index-watcher keep using up all CPU?
[07:35] <ACETAC1> macd, i think i discovered the problem but i'm not sure how to fix it, i think the mysql is complaining that it cannot acces the database... here's the error "Access denied for user 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' to database 'bugzilla'"
[07:35] <Comrade-Sergei> i need help installing limewire since it is not in .deb format or in synaptic
[07:35] <skar> Frogzoo: is there a 2.6.20 or 2.6.18 kernel livecd available?
[07:35] <Comrade-Sergei> how do yu do it?
[07:35] <lisapc> how can I install niveda 7300 drivers pls?
[07:36] <Frogzoo> skar: that would be feisty only, which is alpha...
[07:36] <macd> ACETAC1, do you have a mysql db running on the same machine as bugzilla with those user permissions?
[07:36] <skar> Frogzoo: ok :(
[07:36] <petetetete> i have checked that port, it works with the cable i am using
[07:36] <thedcm> is ubuntu free
[07:36] <Jackz> Yes
[07:36] <thedcm> then why is the tld .com? com is commercial right
[07:36] <petetetete> is windows not?
[07:36] <Jackz> Technically.
[07:37] <lisapc> thedcm lol
[07:37] <Frogzoo> petetetete: if you can disable autonegotiatoin on the router port, & set it to 100baseTx-FD
[07:37] <Comrade-Sergei> how do you install limewire?
[07:37] <EdgEy> tld's mean nothing
[07:37] <petetetete> no one regulates whether a com website is commercial or not
[07:37] <lisapc> Comrade-Sergei u dont
[07:37] <lisapc> Comrade-Sergei Frostwire
[07:37] <Comrade-Sergei> lisapc your not much help
[07:37] <macd> !limewire | Comrade-Sergei
[07:37] <ubotu> Comrade-Sergei: limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install !java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider !FrostWire as an alternative.
[07:37] <doojin> hmm
[07:37] <lisapc> Comrade-Sergei I helped you a lot actually. scroll back
[07:37] <Comrade-Sergei> ill look into it
[07:38] <lisapc> Comrade-Sergei Frostwire
[07:38] <Comrade-Sergei> ok thatnks
[07:38] <lisapc> Comrade-Sergei read the website
[07:38] <Talaman> hey, where do i go to change my monitor settings? in the gui that is
[07:38] <ACETAC1> macd, i have a mysql database server running (on the same computer, thus 'localhost' appears correct), that i can access but i am not sure what command to use to check the user permissions and everything.... i have used mysql before but not extensively to know enough commands about it
[07:38] <lisapc> how can I install niveda 7300 drivers pls?  any help pls?
[07:38] <mieora> hello people
[07:38] <Frogzoo> !patience | Comrade-Sergei
[07:38] <ubotu> Comrade-Sergei: The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[07:39] <goban> help! someone told me to do a debain reconfigure of xorg.conf and it totally screwed things up how do i revert?
[07:39] <macd> ACETAC1, you should install phpmyadmin, then login to it with your root mysql user, create the user bugzilla wants, OR read the bugzilla manual to learn howto configure it.
[07:39] <Comrade-Sergei> Frogzoo ok they were bein insolent
[07:39] <mieora> does anyone know if ubuntu 6.10 has live cd?
[07:39] <Comrade-Sergei> i help people occasionally on this channel
[07:39] <poningru> goban: a dpkg-reconfigure xorg?
[07:39] <poningru> mieora: yes
[07:39] <Frogzoo> Comrade-Sergei: so don't pay the invoice
[07:39] <Comrade-Sergei> mieora it is the live cd
[07:39] <goban> poningru: thats what messed it up
[07:39] <lisapc> mieora xbuntu
[07:39] <petetetete> i can't find any way to set that in the router's control panel, maybe if it had dd-wrt on it, but I don't have that installed on this router
[07:39] <Jackz> Okay - So I got the sudo-ness down.. but the new config is still screwy - Moving windows is choppy - scrolling through windows is choppy.. I assume it's a driver problem
[07:39] <goban> does that command back it up somehow?
[07:39] <poningru> mieora: the desktop cd is the ubuntu live cd
[07:40] <poningru> goban: yes
[07:40] <Comrade-Sergei> mieora the install cd is also a live cd
[07:40] <darkch1ld> what audio formats can ubuntu recognize by default?  i seem to remember it not liking mp3
[07:40] <macd> Jackz, is this an ATI card?
[07:40] <Comrade-Sergei> yea
[07:40] <poningru> goban: go to /etc/X11/
[07:40] <lisapc> i cant get ubuntu to use my niveda 7300 :(
[07:40] <Jackz> No. 7800GT
[07:40] <mieora> oh, really? how silly of me, thank you
[07:40] <poningru> there should be a xorg.conf.yyyymmddtime
[07:40] <macd> Jackz, did you install the nvidia drivers?
[07:40] <Jackz> Yeah..
[07:40] <thedcm> is it true that ubuntu supports race mixing?
[07:40] <macd> Jackz, "glxinfo | grep direct" shows yes or no?
[07:41] <Frogzoo> !offtopic | thedcm
[07:41] <ubotu> thedcm: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[07:41] <Matthai> thedcm, what do you mean by race mixing?
[07:41] <ACETAC1> macd, thanks macd i will look into that direction, thanks for your pointer, i really appreciate it =)
[07:41] <mieora> another thing, does anyone heard any experience using ubuntu 6.10 on lenovo t60p?
[07:41] <thedcm> Matthai: I mean like look at the logo, a bunch of people of different colors cooperating and being unified
[07:41] <thedcm> surely that is not the way nature intended it
[07:41] <macd> core , Kro says bye.
[07:41] <core> hehe
[07:41] <Matthai> so?
[07:42] <core> yeah - I stuffed up :)
[07:42] <goban> poningru: thanks i think that helped
[07:42] <macd> thedcm, lets keep the discussion on support, not implied meanings.
[07:42] <thedcm> it is a subliminal symbol for race mixing
[07:42] <Frogzoo> thedcm: either ask an ubuntu related question, offer other's help - or take your race hate elsewhere, plskthx
[07:42] <EdgEy> nature intended.. lol
[07:42] <poningru> goban: no prob if you need to know how to get it back just ping me again
[07:42] <Jackz> The new Xorg, or X or XServer config, whatever it was, makes Ubuntu refuse to boot, giving me an error about there being no screen detected, so I restored the original one - and it declares all 0's
[07:42] <Matthai> how do YOU know what nature intended? :-)
[07:42] <petetetete> he's just trolling
[07:42] <Matthai> I mean who the hell are you? God? :-)))
[07:42] <thedcm> because I follow the laws of nature
[07:42] <Frogzoo> !ops
[07:42] <ubotu> Help!  Now go away.
[07:43] <Comrade-Sergei> omg stfu man
[07:43] <thedcm> WOTAN cannot be silenced
[07:43] <Matthai> well I worship Linux :-))
[07:43] <macd> users /ignore thedcm problem solved until an op solves it further.
[07:43] <thedcm> for HE is all
[07:43] <Talaman> wow, i'm not seing preferences
[07:43] <thedcm> Matthai: linux is common for niggers
[07:43] <Comrade-Sergei> will an op boot him plz!
[07:43] <Comrade-Sergei> thank you
[07:44] <Jackz> Macd, The new Xorg, or X or XServer config, whatever it was, makes Ubuntu refuse to boot, giving me an error about there being no screen detected, so I restored the original one - and it declares all 0's, the command that is
[07:44] <Comrade-Sergei> what a n00b
[07:44] <Matthai> thedcm, lol, I am from europe, we do not have words like that ("niggers") :-)
[07:44] <macd> Jackz, wait that command "glxinfo | grep direct" shows you all zeros?
[07:45] <Jackz> The new Xorg, or X or XServer config, whatever it was, makes Ubuntu refuse to boot, giving me an error about there being no screen detected, so I restored the original one - and it declares all 0's
[07:45] <Jackz> Oops
[07:45] <petetetete> the best thing to do is ignore people like that, they're just trolling for responses like that
[07:45] <Jackz> Wrong copy-paste
[07:45] <liquiddoom> How can I update the index that "Search for Files..." uses?
[07:45] <Talaman> brb
[07:45] <Jackz> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"
[07:45] <Matthai> ok, serious question, how to tar a file, but I want tared and gziped file to be split into several volumes 1 Mb maximum each?
[07:45] <ZorglubZ> Hello all, I have problems getting the DNS server IP to stick... it constantly reverts to the ICS (local) IP
[07:46] <petetetete> anyways, Frogzoo: there's no way to configure the ports on my router's side, i'm thinkin this on board nic is fried, would you agree?
[07:46] <core> Matthai: you need to use split mate
[07:46] <macd> Jackz, ok, then you need to edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add:  Load           "glx"
 frost wire isnt in synaptic?
[07:46] <Jackz> Macd, Does itm atter where I add it.. beginning? End of code?
[07:46] <macd> !limewire | Comrade-Sergei
[07:46] <ubotu> Comrade-Sergei: limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install !java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider !FrostWire as an alternative.
[07:46] <Matthai> can you give me an example? I couldn't find a switch...
[07:46] <macd> Jackz, where all the other load lines are will be fine
[07:47] <Comrade-Sergei> i know
[07:47] <Comrade-Sergei> !frostwire
[07:47] <ubotu> frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[07:47] <macd> Comrade-Sergei, read that link, enable the proper repos, install the software.
[07:47] <Comrade-Sergei> i got the repos there its not showing up
[07:48] <petetetete> Frogzoo?

[07:48] <goban> how do i change to 1680x1050 resolution?
[07:49] <macd> Comrade-Sergei, type this: "wget http://www.frostwire.com/frostwire/4.13.1/frostwire-<IP_ADDRESS>-1.i586.deb && sudo dpkg -i frostwire-<IP_ADDRESS>-1.i586.deb"
[07:49] <Jackz> macd, Sorry for being.. such a n00b, but how am I supposed to add the line? In gedit I can't save it because it's read-only..
[07:49] <macd> !widescreen | goban

[07:51] <macd> Jackz, ohh I was saying from a terminal "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[07:51] <goban> ZorglubZ: thanks
[07:51] <petetetete> alright gentlemen, I am giving up on my onboard lan.  so now how do i uninstall the drivers for it and disable it so that it doesn't look like there are two ethernet cards installed after i plug in this extra pci nic I have?

[07:51] <macd> lisapc, do you have more than one video card?
[07:51] <EdgEy> lisapc, tried installing nvidia-glx?
[07:51] <local> test3D
[07:52] <Beverage> jackz, nano is a built in terminal text editor
[07:52] <lisapc> macd no
[07:52] <macd> Jackz, its a editor
[07:52] <macd> lisapc, then can you see anything on your screen?
[07:52] <lisapc> EdgEy no. I sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx  ?
[07:52] <lisapc> macd yes
[07:52] <EdgEy> yes
[07:52] <macd> lisapc use apt-get install.
[07:52] <lisapc> EdgEy ok fanx
[07:52] <macd> lisapc, then how would you say ubuntu isnt using your video card ;)
[07:52] <EdgEy> use apt-get not aptitude tho
[07:52] <lisapc> macd ill try sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx
[07:53] <macd> lisapc, use apt-get install not aptitude.
[07:53] <ryan_> i cant connect to my router with a linksys wmp54g wireless card...
[07:53] <core> Matthai: try this mate  split --line-bytes=1m test.dat foo.tar.gz
[07:53] <ethan> quit
[07:53] <core> that will put your tar file into 1MB chunks
[07:54] <Jackz> macd, Thanks again, sorry I'm such a n00b.. now I have to restart for that to take effect.. so I'll be back shortly..
[07:54] <macd> Jackz, just log out of X.
[07:54] <macd> logout and back in.
[07:54] <johnficca> dose anyone know how to fix the lines in totem when playing a video?
[07:54] <lisapc> EdgEy why apt-get, not aptitude?
[07:54] <macd> johnficca, download better video?
[07:54] <ubuntu> how do i mount a harddrive
[07:54] <ZorglubZ> no takers on my DNS problem? :(
[07:54] <macd> lisapc, apt-get is more intuitive for linux newbs.
[07:54] <lisapc> macd ok
[07:54] <johnficca> I've tried a lot of videos
[07:55] <lisapc> ubuntu thats an odd question someone using your nick ;)
[07:55] <ubuntu> im on a live CD
[07:55] <ubuntu> thats the automatic nic
[07:55] <ubuntu> k
[07:55] <macd> ZorglubZ, Im sure someone will come along and help you ;) just give it time.
[07:55] <goban> ZorglubZ: i just tried doing to reconfigure and it messed stuff up, i good thing i backed up :) i just want to add the resolution, can i do that manually
[07:56] <darkch1ld> anyone know of a blog host that _doesn't_ require registration?
[07:56] <macd> ZorglubZ, in /etc/network/interfaces is your DNS server address in there?
[07:56] <macd> darkch1ld, kinda defeats the purpose right? just use a pastebin.
[07:56] <ubuntu> how do you mount a harddrive?
[07:56] <lisapc> ubuntu eg, sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt
[07:56] <ubuntu> thank you
[07:56] <test3D> running fiesty... the nvida fails to load glx.... dlopen: /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1: undefined symbol: _nv000043gl
[07:56] <lisapc> ubuntu anytime
[07:57] <lisapc> test3D whats fiesty?
[07:57] <ZorglubZ> ummm.. macd: looking, it'll take a min (or 5 :P)
[07:57] <ubuntu> "ubuntu anytime" sounds like it could be a ubuntu live cd
[07:57] <macd> test3D, report the bug, feisty is not supported in this channel please use #ubuntu+1
[07:57] <test3D> the next version of ubunut
[07:57] <test3D> k
[07:57] <lisapc> test3D after 6.10?
[07:57] <Jack1> Fiesty is 7.04
[07:57] <macd> lisapc 7.04
[07:57] <lisapc> macd ok ty
[07:58] <lisapc> macd :)
[07:58] <macd> and actually lisapc Edgy is after dapper, then feisty.
[07:58] <ubuntu> lisapc: where does it mount it to?
[07:58] <petetetete> question: any particular thing i need to do to get ubuntu to recognize / install drivers for a network card I just shoved into it?
[07:58] <lisapc> macd ah ok. that means im using Edgy.  xbuntu 6.10
[07:58] <lisapc> macd should i upgrade from xfc to kde?
[07:59] <macd> petetetete, "lspci" should show it, then use "modprobe" to load the appropriate modules, then youll need to generate a new modulemap.
[07:59] <macd> lisapc thats not an upgrade thats more a preference
[07:59] <lisapc> ubuntu look in /mnt
[07:59] <ZorglubZ> macd: nope, no DNS addy at all; not the one I've put in repeatedly in Networking, anf not the one it auto-reverts to
[07:59] <lisapc> macd do u use kde or gnome?
[08:00] <macd> ZorglubZ, ahhhh ok, then I suggest you adding the settings to /etc/network/interfaces and not use the GUI way of setting it.
[08:00] <mindstate> anyone familiar with fglrx ati driver? im having a world of trouble
[08:00] <lisapc> macd is it hard to get my adsl2+ broadband modem to work?
[08:00] <macd> lisapc, gnome.
[08:00] <ubuntu> lisapc: i found it, but my desktop folder is locked, and thats where the files i need are, how do i veiw the desktop folder?
[08:00] <lisapc> ubuntu not sure sorry
[08:00] <lisapc> ubuntu sudo?
[08:01] <ubuntu> i ddi
[08:01] <ubuntu> did*
[08:01] <macd> good luck ZorglubZ its 1am here I need to jet.
[08:01] <petetetete> actually, i didn't need to do anything, it, dare I say, "plugged and played"
[08:01] <ZorglubZ> goban: sorry, no clue... I used i915 to get it to work on this PB
[08:01] <ubuntu> i can view everything but desktop
[08:01] <mindstate> anyone familiar with fglrx ati driver? im having a world of trouble
[08:01] <RememberPOL> Hi
[08:01] <RememberPOL> How can I reinstall the latest driver from the apt-get repository?
[08:01] <ZorglubZ> ok, macd, no worries... g'night:)
[08:02] <arrenlex> !ask | mindstate
[08:02] <ubotu> mindstate: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:02] <Jack1> The screen portion of my xorg config says that my device is a gneric device.. is that a bad thing? Shouldn't it have my video card listed there?
[08:02] <Comrade-Sergei> macd it doesnt fire up when i click the icon what the ?
[08:02] <johnficca> mindstate, what kind of trouble?
[08:02] <mindstate> arrenlex: i cant get X to start up using the  fglrx driver
[08:02] <petetetete> This is a turnkey day for me and linux, ubuntu was actually easier and quicker to install than windows.
[08:02] <arrenlex> !doesn't work | mindstate
[08:02] <ubotu> mindstate: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel)
[08:02] <skar> Frogzoo: according to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=234706&page=27&highlight=jmicron, FC6 and other distro's seem to work on i965 chipsets
[08:03] <skar> Frogzoo: any work arounds available already?
[08:03] <ToHellWithGA> how can i add the user "ryan" to the group "vboxusers"?
[08:03] <RememberPOL> I've had to revert to 2.6.17-10-386 because
[08:03] <mindstate> arrenlex: X wont start, no screens found with the fglrx module loaded
[08:03] <RememberPOL> my xorg crashed
[08:03] <arrenlex> mindstate: Ah, no screens found. Would it be possible for you to pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[08:04] <johnficca> mindstate, what kind of graphics card do you have?
[08:04] <Comrade-Sergei> macd? it doesnt work...?
[08:04] <mindstate> arrenlex: yes give me a second
[08:04] <RememberPOL> arrenlex: Might you know how to reinstall the latest kernel with apt-get ?
[08:04] <mindstate> johnficca: ati radeon
[08:04] <johnficca> X what
[08:04] <arrenlex> RememberPOL: If your question is "how do I reinstall a package", the answer is sudo apt-get install --reinstall <package>
[08:04] <RememberPOL> no
[08:05] <RememberPOL> specifically the kernel
[08:05] <RememberPOL> latest kernel
[08:05] <RememberPOL> i already have it, but i want to remove and reinstall it...
[08:05] <johnficca> mindstate, did you follow the steps on the ati wiki site?
[08:05] <mindstate> johnficca: yes too a tee
[08:06] <mindstate> arrenlex: i posted it on my site..easier to scp from terminal ..mindstate.cerveau.us/xorg.conf
[08:06] <Xif> is there a reason not to have a REALLY short and simple password (like "p") if I'm not running an SSH server?
[08:06] <RememberPOL> yes
[08:06] <arrenlex> mindstate: Interesting. 1x1 resolution. I wonder what that would look like.
[08:07] <petetetete> well thanks everyone for your help, i am very impressed with ubuntu so far ( just installed for the first time today) and will probably be back, but I will spread the livecd, adios
[08:07] <johnficca> mindstate, did you do the ubuntu way or manually?
[08:07] <Jack1>  The screen portion of my xorg config says that my device is a gneric device.. is that a bad thing? Shouldn't it have my video card listed there?  Also when it tells me to change the driver portion of the xorg.conf , which driver portion does it mean? There are many.
[08:07] <mindstate> arrenlex: lol well it was done automatically
[08:07] <RememberPOL> arrenlex: Any idea?
[08:07] <Xif> RememberPOL: and that reason is...?
[08:07] <mindstate> johnficca: i guess the ubuntu way..i just followed the instructions for Edgy
[08:07] <arrenlex> RememberPOL: Do you know the package name?
[08:08] <RememberPOL> no
[08:08] <arrenlex> RememberPOL: And\or are you running this kernel right now?
[08:08] <rcrook> hi all, can someone give me pointers on how to setup opensynce with my ipaq? specifically with the file plugin?
[08:08] <RememberPOL> arrenlex: No
[08:08] <RememberPOL> I'm running 2.6.17-10-386
[08:08] <RememberPOL> one older than the latest
[08:08] <johnficca> mindstate, you might want to try the manul way.
[08:08] <mindstate> johnficca: whats the manual way
[08:09] <johnficca> mindstate, Method 2 on this page http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Edgy_Installation_Guide
[08:09] <Jack1> The screen portion of my xorg config says that my device is a gneric device.. is that a bad thing? Shouldn't it have my video card listed there?  Also when it tells me to change the driver portion of the xorg.conf , which driver portion does it mean? There are many.
[08:09] <RememberPOL> arrenlex: 2.6.17-11-generic looks to be the latest
[08:10] <mindstate> johnficca: thanks
[08:10] <arrenlex> Jack1: There is only one device section. Look for Section "Device"
[08:10] <mindstate> ill see brb
[08:10] <arrenlex> RememberPOL: There you go. Reinstall that, then.
[08:10] <Jack1> Okay. Device it is.
[08:10] <johnficca> mindsate, just give it a try, I always try one and if it dose not work I do the other
[08:11] <ZorglubZ|away> bugger'd.. can anyone giveme the syntax to use for dns servers in etc/network/interfaces ?
[08:11] <me> I am getting a coredump on glx usage... glxinfo dumps...

[08:12] <Agrajag-> g'day, i was setting up ldap on a machine, and there's an incorrect ldap ip somewhere. on boot i get "nss_ldap: could not connect to any LDAP server as ....", and never gets anywhere, as it just tries over and over again. how can i disable ldap stuff on boot? (it still happens with recovery mode)
[08:12] <johnficca> mindstate, make sure you remove the xorg-driver-fglrx package first
[08:13] <rryan> so... off the top of anyone's head, is there a problem with the apache2 ubuntu package that causes the apache2 daemon to die every few days for no apparent reason? Ive run into this on a couple different boxes running 6.10. They each had pretty simple setups, generally nothign more complicated than mod_php.
[08:14] <CaptainMorgan> any links for me to setup a mysql database? I didn't find any services similar in System->Admin->Services..
[08:15] <threeseas> help - I can't log on to my desktop - using another machine - the message I get and the search thru script files leads me to believe there is an issue with two file /var/log/wtmp and /var/run/utmp
[08:15] <Xif> is there a reason not to have a REALLY short and simple password (like "p") if I'm not running an SSH server?
[08:16] <D_dog> xif in reality a password on your home computer that has no real outside threats is very safe and a short one would be adequate however
[08:16] <mneptok> Xif: of course. ssh isn't the only way to gain access
[08:16] <D_dog> you should get into a good practice of using secure passwords
[08:16] <threeseas> mkdtmp: private socket dir: no space left on device --- but there is I believ
[08:16] <D_dog> passwords with numbers and letters are fairly secure and not that hard to remember
[08:17] <Xif> mneptok: which other way is there on a regular Ubuntu installation?
[08:17] <arrenlex> Xif: Your stupid friends who hang out at your house all the time will accidentally log in one time, and then for the next ten years they will insist they "hacked" you with their "hacking skills", drive you insane, and cause you to murder them, landing you in jail, where you will be raped by large black men and otherwise traumatised until your release 30 years later when you are the shell of a human being and live for a while robbing liquor
[08:17] <arrenlex> :)
[08:17] <Xif> D_dog: yeah, but I'm using sudo a lot and tired of typing it all :)

[08:17] <mneptok> Xif: Google for "remote exploit." i'm sure what you find is not limiteh to openssh. ;)
[08:17] <D_dog> i understand but good habits will stay with you the rest of your life
[08:18] <zoidberg> macd, are u there
[08:18] <Xif> arrenlex: oh, I see >_>
[08:18] <Xif> mneptok: will a remote exploiter need my password?
[08:18] <arrenlex> Xif: Yeah, eh.
[08:18] <sorush21> is there anything similar to system restore point in ubuntu
[08:18] <zoidberg> macd, u told me how to do it but i couldnt find the XMDCP option in the log in session menu
[08:18] <Xif> arrenlex: btw, I'd rule prison, so no worries.
[08:19] <mneptok> Xif: a remote exploit usually doesn't get you sudo access. but if your password is "p" then that safety net goes right out the window.
[08:19] <Xif> D_dog: actually, mneptok may have a point. a remote exploiter can easily escalate priviliges if I have a stupid root password.
[08:20] <D_dog> all true but in reality you have little to fear..i still suggest you use a fairly secure password for home
[08:20] <Xif> guess I might just change it to something more secure once I'm done with the basic setup (and don't need sudo that much anymore).
[08:20] <Xif> D_dog: yeah, I've had a Debian hacked.
[08:20] <rylan> so, for some reason i log in, i have sound, after a while, possibly because another program is effing it up. i have no sound. i restart, and i have sound again. rinse repeat
[08:21] <incorrect> can linux do stateful failover networking yet?
[08:21] <Xif> what do you guys think of Gentoo? :P
[08:21] <mneptok> Xif: i try not to,
[08:21] <Xif> mneptok: hehe, why?
[08:22] <arrenlex> Xif: Life is too short to run gentoo.
[08:22] <Tiplet> I'm more at a loss of words over Gentoo than I am on the state of humanity.
[08:22] <Xif> it's seems to be coming into fashion again.
[08:22] <incorrect> Xif, i used getntoo for some time
[08:22] <mneptok> Xif: it's a cute toy, but i wouldn't take it on the highway.
[08:22] <incorrect> i agree with arrenlex, i have better things to do than watch stuff compile
[08:23] <Xif> mneptok: why not?  other than the compile time, that is?
[08:23] <incorrect> if you want to feel like you are getting the benefits of compiling stuff yourself, build your own debs
[08:23] <incorrect> i have to build my own backports all the time
[08:23] <fearphage> i set kubuntu to an unusable display range. i have edited the xorg.conf multiple times with no results. what do i need to revert to get anything displayed? kde will not start at all currently
[08:23] <Xif> Tiplet: wouldn't compile time decrease to near nothing as hardware gets better?
[08:23] <fearphage> unusable resolution*
[08:23] <incorrect> setup falcon and you can push you debs to all your systems
[08:23] <sorush21> is there anything similar to system restore point in ubuntu
[08:23] <sorush21> system restore in windows
[08:24] <Tiplet> Xif: That's all in escalation.
[08:24] <incorrect> i maintain a amd64 and i386 repository on my network for all the systems i have
[08:24] <mneptok> Xif: Gentoo? on a server? terrible idea.
[08:24] <Tiplet> As hardware progresses, software capability and complexity follows.
[08:24] <incorrect> mneptok: i know some guys who do, but i wouldn't let them run a network for me
[08:24] <Xif> mneptok: ok, but what about for home/development station?
[08:24] <mneptok> fearphage: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:24] <mneptok> Xif: what benefit is there?
[08:25] <fearphage> did it a few times. selected lower resolutions everytime
[08:25] <Tiplet> Compile times on hardware in its time in comparison to Claws-Mail or TB in this day of age.
[08:25] <Xif> Tiplet: ok, so basically,  you rule it out because of compile time?
[08:25] <Tiplet> Err, for Mutt.
[08:25] <Tiplet> Xif: What, Gentoo?
[08:25] <Xif> yes
[08:25] <Xif> mneptok: not being hit by binary builds not available for my platform, for one.
[08:25] <Tiplet> Gentoo has its place, I'd never recommend it unless you're very sure that you don't need the luxury of binary distribution.
[08:26] <mneptok> Xif: such as?
[08:26] <Tiplet> Well.
[08:26] <Xif> I'm using AMD64 at home, and CoreDuo at work, the former lacks so many packages it's basically unusable, the later doesn't even have an Ubuntu distro for it.
[08:26] <solid_liq> gentoo is supposed to be fast, but because of the compilation, it's actually the slowest heheh
[08:26] <Tiplet> Most people would think that a Gentoo box would be ideal for server deployment.
[08:26] <reduz> Question!! When I upgraded to EDGY, my xorg setup lost the ability to resize the screen using alt-ctrl-+/- , how do i turn that back on?
[08:27] <mneptok> Xif: the Core Duo most certainly does. AMD64
[08:27] <solid_liq> Tiplet: no, debian is, gentoo is crazy to use on a server
[08:27] <mneptok> Xif: (or i386)
[08:27] <Tiplet> Yeah.
[08:27] <incorrect> Xif: if you want to try something, try it,  with gentoo you will learn a lot!
[08:27] <RememberPOL> How can you check recently removed packages in synaptic?
[08:27] <Jackz> Thanks a lot for the help, macd
[08:27] <mneptok> Xif: what packages are missing for AMD64?
[08:27] <Jackz> Turns out my real problem was just
[08:27] <solid_liq> reduz: edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, there'll probably be a comment in there telling you the flag to switch (not VTSwitch, but something similar)
[08:28] <Xif> mneptok: yeah, eventually I just installed i386 on both. I needed Flash, Skype.
[08:28] <Crypticfortune> mneptok: i read on the ubuntu forums that ubuntu had no plans to support intel core 2 duo. is it supposed to work with AMD64?
[08:28] <Jackz> That the power to my video card was just being split too many times before it got there - and it wasn't getting enough power
[08:28] <solid_liq> incorrect: you are incorrect! ;)
[08:28] <Tiplet> No support for C2D?
[08:28] <Xif> mneptok, Tiplet: you mean I should install the AMD64 version on the CoreDuo as well?
[08:28] <mneptok> Xif: Gentoo is not going to get you Flash on AMD64, guy.
[08:28] <reduz> solid_liq, i dont see anything in there
[08:29] <incorrect> solid_liq: indeed i am
[08:29] <Tiplet> I have no idea. lol
[08:29] <Tiplet> I'm just boggling over Gentoo.
[08:29] <Xif> mneptok: actually, I tried the Dapper AMD64, so maybe more packages are available for Edgy.
[08:29] <solid_liq> reduz: hmm, try a google for xorg.conf then and read through the results
[08:29] <Jackz> Well.. thanks a ton for your halp, guys
[08:29] <mneptok> Crypticfortune: the Core 2 Duo uses the x86-64 instruction set
[08:29] <skar> anyone know of a way i can install ubuntu on a p5b motherboard with i965 chipset? seems fedora core 6 supports this board already :(
[08:29] <RememberPOL> Is there an apt-get log to check for recently removed packages?
[08:29] <Tiplet> Server-wise, it's a mess as security patches need applied as soon as possible. And for a casual user, who needs a program for a use then and now... meh.
[08:30] <Crypticfortune> mneptok: yeah i know. so theoretically it should work, right? so i wonder what was up with that forum post...
[08:30] <solid_liq> Xif: if you want flash on amd64, you need to install firefox and flash9 in a 32-bit chroot jail
[08:30] <Tiplet> skar: Any board in particular?
[08:30] <incorrect> its amusing why someone in ubuntu askes should i try gentoo,  i might as well ask if i should try eating apples or reduce my coffee intake
[08:30] <solid_liq> Xif: that'll work on any distro
[08:30] <skar> Tiplet: Asus P5B non-deluxe version
[08:30] <Tiplet> It couldn't hurt to try Gentoo.
[08:30] <reduz> solid_liq, no, I mean.. I know the DontZoom and DontVTSwitch options, but they are not anywhere in my xorg.conf
[08:30] <Xif> solid_liq: which is a nightmare... but I guess it's like that on all versions.
[08:30] <Jackz> Wahoo!
[08:30] <mneptok> Crypticfortune: what was up with that forum post is "don't believe the Intarzwebz" ;)
[08:30] <Flannel> RememberPOL: /var/log/ and then the dpkg logs
[08:30] <Xif> skar: there's some parameters you need to pass. are you trying to install Edgy?
[08:30] <solid_liq> Xif: btw, I'm running amd64 edgy right now, there's plenty here
[08:31] <Xif> solid_liq: but not Flash or Skype
[08:31] <skar> xif: i'm game for dapper or edgy :)
[08:31] <skar> xif: not feisty at its alpha stage
[08:31] <solid_liq> reduz: oh, DontZoom is it, just add it, DontZoom=false
[08:31] <mneptok> Xif: another distro will not give you Flash and Skype in x64-64 form. period.
[08:31] <Tiplet> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Core_2_Duo_Support
[08:31] <solid_liq> Xif: thank closed-source software for that
[08:32] <Crypticfortune> mneptok: indeed. but im trying to get some linux distro running on this new intel core 2 duo machine my lab just bought and neither ubuntu or gentoo nor mepis is
[08:32] <reduz> solid_liq, oh
[08:32] <Crypticfortune> mneptok: (oops) loading the kernel... =(
[08:32] <solid_liq> Xif: 32-bit chroot for those :(
[08:32] <solid_liq> mneptok: no, knowing how to setup a 32-bit chroot for them will, though, on any distro :P
[08:32] <Tiplet> That board's listed down there under the mis-detection of SATA controller.
[08:33] <skar> Tiplet: that page doesn't seem to list a solution, that page almost concludes there's no solution, maybe they've updated the page after i saw it 2 days ago
[08:33] <solid_liq> mneptok: er, should've read that better heheh
[08:33] <mneptok> solid_liq: feel free to spend *your* time walking users through that.
[08:33] <Tiplet> skar: Don't know what to say, other than doing blind Google searches.
[08:34] <xopher> solid_liq, or, use nspluginwrapper
[08:34] <skar> Tiplet: hehe that's where i stumbled upon FC6 working on this board, gonna install FC6, then use its kernel config to build a new kernel for ubuntu ;)
[08:34] <solid_liq> mneptok: heheh, I don't help newbs :D  I switched to kubuntu finally after using everything else, though I must admit I'm tempted to go back to debian
[08:34] <mneptok> skar: does that board have a PATA controller?
[08:34] <skar> Tiplet: gonna take some 2 more days, but i think its worth it
[08:34] <Tiplet> Only problems I ever heard about P5B boards were with the jMicron controllers.
[08:34] <Tiplet> mm, better safe than sorry.
[08:34] <xopher> solid_liq, what's so tempting about debian?
[08:34] <skar> mneptok: yup a jmicron pata one which doesn't have support in dapper for now
[08:34] <Tiplet> I'm building a C2D rig next month after the E6350 launches.
[08:35] <mneptok> skar: it's supported, but the drivel is missing from initramfs
[08:35] <solid_liq> xopher: it's nice and fast, and I've been using linux long enough that it's plenty easy for me to get setup the way I like
[08:35] <mneptok> *driver
[08:35] <skar> Tiplet: i'm running a 4300 @ 3 GHZ, will get a better HSF and clock it to 3.6, 100% overclock
[08:35] <mneptok> (might be drvel, too)
[08:35] <Tiplet> Only worry of mine is if nvidia-glx will support the 8600GTX early enough.
[08:35] <Tiplet> Man, I've been wondering about the 4300.
[08:35] <solid_liq> xopher: oh, and it's really fast, faster than ubuntu
[08:35] <skar> mneptok: oh ok, how do i make a new initramd with the driver loaded from it during grub time?
[08:36] <Tiplet> 9x multiplier, right?
[08:36] <xopher> solid_liq, really? a noticable difference?
[08:36] <solid_liq> xopher: oh hell yeah
[08:36] <bwilson> What does this mean?  ::   Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock  open
[08:36] <xopher> solid_liq, in what way? application startup? snappier?
[08:36] <xopher> bwilson, run as root
[08:36] <solid_liq> xopher: you just need to have a lot more gnu/linux knowledge accumulated to get it setup fully
[08:36] <xopher> bwilson, correction, with sudo
[08:36] <bwilson> xopher:  i am.    sudo -i
[08:37] <xopher> bwilson, or, then you have synaptic running at the same time
[08:37] <Flannel> bwilson: Close other package managers you have running
[08:37] <solid_liq> xopher: way snappier, noticably lower cpu utilization, lower memory consumption, it just flies
[08:37] <mneptok> skar: you need to drop to a console, inject the driver into the initramfs, sudo depmod -a, and update-initramfs
[08:37] <bwilson> Flannel:  oh i cant update and have Add/Remove Applications running at the same time?
[08:37] <youkilldkennedy> Anyone know why MadMan crashes unexpectantly?
[08:37] <solid_liq> bwilson: or check to make sure you don't have another apt/whatever instance running
[08:37] <xopher> solid_liq, well, I started with debian, swithed to ubuntu mainly because my pc crashed, and hehe, I had the ubuntu cd on my desk
[08:37] <Tiplet> Hahaha.
[08:38] <Tiplet> You never appreciate the beauty of a command shell until you try to manage a directory if 98,000+ images.
[08:38] <youkilldkennedy> Hehe
[08:38] <Kr0ntab> tahts a lot of pr0n
[08:38] <xopher> now WHY would you have 98,000 images in one directory? :|
[08:38] <Kr0ntab> ;)
[08:38] <Tiplet> I mirrored an archive of Moeboard.
[08:39] <xopher> And it was already answered
[08:39] <Steil> my right alt key isn't mapped in X, how can i fix it?
[08:39] <youkilldkennedy> Hehe
[08:40] <solid_liq> xopher: heheh, I started with redhat 5.1, used it through redhat 9, took a brief detour to mandrake 9.1, used slackware for about 1.5 years, moved to gentoo, got sick and tired of compiling everything all the time, moved to kubuntu because it was a stark contrast, and have used debian at various times through all that, oh and suse (briefly), so I wanted the ultra easy route for awhile, but really I realize now that debian is actually
[08:40] <solid_liq> the easiest in the long run.  More stable, better package selection...
[08:40] <skar> mneptok: this command sequence when trying to boot with dapper installer? when it fails to detect and drops to busybox shell?
[08:40] <youkilldkennedy> How do I get a custom launcher in GNOME to run a file in a specific program?
[08:41] <solid_liq> oh, after using gentoo for about 1.5-2 years is when I got sick of it, heheh
[08:41] <xopher> solid_liq, true I guess. What did you think of suse?
[08:41] <solid_liq> xopher: too bloated
[08:41] <Tiplet> youkilldkennedy: You mean a launcher for the desktop or in the menu?
[08:41] <mneptok> skar: no, those are not exact commands. if that process does not make sense, then you probably should not try it. sorta a "you must be this tall to ride this ride" kinda thing. no offense. ;)
[08:41] <youkilldkennedy> Tiplet: Menu
[08:41] <solid_liq> xopher: I think it might be nice if they improved their package management and streamlined the whole distro tho
[08:42] <Tiplet> youkilldkennedy: There's bound to be an easier method but .desktop (basically, launchers) files in /usr/share/applications/.
[08:42] <xopher> solid_liq, which probably won't happen, well anytime soon anyway
[08:42] <skar> solid_liq: i too dumped gentoo after 2 years, switched to ubuntu for desktop, though for servers with exotics libds and development, no beating gentoo with its source based installs and use flags
[08:42] <solid_liq> xopher: yep
[08:42] <youkilldkennedy> Tiplet: Sounds like a plan. Thanks.
[08:42] <Tiplet> Total: 19 G (98220 files, 1 directory) <-- That's a whole lotta ecchi. :\
[08:42] <skar> mneptok: i know initram can be mounted, etc, whats the driver name?
[08:43] <skar> mneptok: hmm maybe i can try this, have done similar stuff before, just that ubuntu got me out of those low level stuff for far too long ;)
[08:43] <solid_liq> skar: nah, I switched to debian for the servers, more reliable, faster, more stable.  seriously, the packages built for debian are usually built by the project leads themselves, so they're built very well
[08:43] <youkilldkennedy> Tiplet: Oh.. I figured it out. Was just typing the wrong thing. ^^
[08:44] <aliasd> heyas, i just installed a new soundcard, it shows up in aplay -l and it shows up in lspci, but it doesnt have a new dsp... how do i make it so?
[08:44] <Tiplet> Anyone have an idea as how to limit the number of lines outputted by 'ls' (with them in a single column, course)?
[08:44] <solid_liq> well, no one is answering in #kde, so: anyone know if I can setup konsole to automatically switch my schema to VIMColors when I run vim?
[08:45] <solid_liq> Tiplet: yep
[08:45] <solid_liq> Tiplet: how many lines?
[08:45] <Tiplet> I dunno, 400? lol
[08:45] <solid_liq> Tiplet: and just the first amount? last amount?  what?
[08:45] <Tiplet> The first four-hundred lines.
[08:46] <Crypticfortune> question - so never having run/installed ubuntu before, im not sure what's supposed to be happening, but why would it be getting to "booting the kernel." and then hang indefinitely?
[08:46] <solid_liq> Tiplet: ls | head -n 400
[08:46] <solid_liq> Crypticfortune: does it say "kernel panic" somewhere?
[08:46] <Tiplet> Haha, right on.
[08:46] <solid_liq> :D
[08:46] <Tiplet> I really need to read a man page on head someday.
[08:46] <Crypticfortune> solid_liq: nope. just a blinking cursor
[08:46] <solid_liq> Tiplet: for the last 400, use:   ls | tail -n 400
[08:47] <monzie> hi all
[08:47] <monzie>  i have a problem with mutt on ubuntu 6.10 edgy
[08:47] <Tiplet> mm, time to divi up some sweet, degrading ecchi.
[08:47] <solid_liq> Crypticfortune: maybe your X server wasn't configured correctly then
[08:47] <Crypticfortune> Tiplet: or to look at them at your leisure: ls | less
[08:47] <monzie> it does not refresh IMAP folders automatically, is there any way it can do it?
[08:48] <Crypticfortune> solid_liq: im just booting off the cd. i tried the "safe graphics mode" thing, same result. is there a "console only" mode somewhere?
[08:48] <solid_liq> Tiplet, Crypticfortune: then you can scroll up and down through them, with vi-style keybindings too :)  j,k,<space bar>, etc :)
[08:48] <seamus7> Hi I'm on Edgy using XGL/Beryl with an ATI Radeon Mobile X1300 ... if my system finishes booting ... all works great ... but half the time it feezes on boot up or stalls for a two or three minutes ... I bet it's something simple but not sure .. any ideas?
[08:48] <solid_liq> Crypticfortune: try pressing <ctrl><alt><F1>
[08:48] <Tiplet> mm
[08:49] <youkilldkennedy> Does anyone know anything about MadMan?
[08:49] <rryan> Anyone know why apache2 tends to die periodically in 6.10?
[08:50] <senectus> I cant seem to upgrade from cd because of these three apps, any ideas on how to fix it? dpkg-dev g++ libc6-dev
[08:50] <solid_liq> rryan: probably because the packages in 6.10 period don't seem like they were put together nearly as well as the packages in 6.06
[08:50] <kazuka> my linux install finally isnt crashing
[08:50] <exs> I'm using ubuntu but I came from a windows background. Is there any network bandwidth controlling program similar to NetLimiter?.. I'm used to controlling how much bandwidth I use .. Thanks
[08:51] <kazuka> its kinda wierd
[08:51] <rryan> hmm... i've also seen it happen in 6.06
[08:51] <solid_liq> exs: yeah, a bunch, but I don't use them personnally.  search for bandwidth quota tool
[08:51] <kazuka> and my game cod2 is working properly
[08:51] <Crypticfortune> solid_liq: i dont think its getting far enough for <ctrl><alt><F1> to mean anything. the kernel isnt even loaded yet.
[08:52] <solid_liq> rryan: well, you know you should be using apache 1.3.x instead of 2.x anyway, right?
[08:52] <bwilson> Does apache 1.0 come preinstalled?
[08:52] <solid_liq> Crypticfortune: hrm
[08:52] <Slart> exs: I haven't seen anything on linux that deals with individual applications like netlimiter.. but I haven't seen everything.. there might be something out there
[08:52] <solid_liq> bwilson: no, it's server software, so you need to apt-get install it
[08:52] <braneq> hello, is here someone from slovakia or czech?
[08:53] <braneq> i need help with kubuntu edgy.
[08:53] <bwilson> solid_liq:  so in order for /etc/init.d/apache to exist somebody on the computer would have installed it?
[08:53] <solid_liq> Slart, exs: actually, clever iptables rules can give you that
[08:53] <kazuka> guys
[08:53] <solid_liq> bwilson: yep
[08:53] <rryan> solid_liq: shrug.. i haven't had a huge number of problems with apache2 in the past... just specifically with ubuntu
[08:53] <Slart> solid_liq: oh? application quotas? didn't know that.. any nice words to google for?
[08:54] <solid_liq> rryan: not just on ubuntu, but period, you should use 1.3.x
[08:54] <fearphage> anyone have experience with the rage xl driver? its not being recognized on my comp although i see it is for others
[08:54] <fearphage> its not even recognized as ati
[08:54] <solid_liq> Slart: no, you have to create the rules by process id, so you have to pgrep for the app and use the pids resulting for your rules
[08:54] <rryan> solid_liq: yea i know, i'm saying i've had good stability with it on other distros, which suggests to me that it's more an issue with the package. If I can't track down the reason for it I guess I'll just move back to 1.3.x
[08:55] <braneq> i was upgrade from dapper to edgy. in dapper after typing "uname -r" i was see some like "2.6.15-27-k7"
[08:55] <solid_liq> rryan: but you know that, by design, the 2.x series has security vulnerabilities in it?  the black hats all say to use 1.3.x if you don't want your apache server hacked
[08:55] <bwilson> solid_liq:  so to install apache2 do i use apt-get install apache2?  instead of just apache?
[08:56] <Slart> solid_liq: ah.. looks like a crontab script would be in order then... thanks
[08:56] <Crypticfortune> maybe this cd is hosed.....if i hit escape to go to the text boot menu, hit enter for default, it hangs on loading initrd...
[08:56] <solid_liq> bwilson: yep
[08:56] <solid_liq> Slart: or better, a daemon
[08:57] <solid_liq> Crypticfortune: yeah, that may be the problem
[08:57] <Slart> solid_liq:  of course.. a daemon would be even better
[08:57] <solid_liq> Crypticfortune: unless the cd is for the wrong architecture ;)
[08:57] <youkilldkennedy> Anyone know why the program MadMan closes every time you change songs?
[08:57] <Tiplet> youkilldkennedy: Run it in a terminal and post the error output (if any) in the Patebin.
[08:58] <solid_liq> Slart: or, you could symlink the apps to a script which starts the app, then inserts the proper iptables rules using the pids from the app once it's started
[08:58] <braneq> in edgy i have to choise only "x.x.xx-xx-386" or "x.x.xx-xx-generic"
[08:58] <Tiplet> Pastebin, even. :\
[08:58] <solid_liq> youkilldkennedy: it's probably crashing
[08:58] <zoidberg> hey guys
[08:58] <zoidberg> i need some help with XMDCP
[08:58] <zoidberg> can anyone help me
[08:59] <Flannel> !ask | zoidberg
[08:59] <ubotu> zoidberg: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:59] <Flannel> braneq: generic is what you want
[08:59] <Slart> solid_liq: yes, I'm guessing you only have max 5 applications you want to limit anyway..
[08:59] <Crypticfortune> solid_liq: intel core 2 duo -> AMD64 distro right? quite frustrating =(
[08:59] <braneq> Flannel: generiv = k7 ?
[08:59] <Tiplet> Is there any tool to generate a sequence of numbers? :o
[08:59] <zoidberg> i'm trying to log in into an XMDCP session i enabled XMDCP on the login menu but i still dont see it there?
[09:00] <Flannel> braneq: yes, they've all been rolled into one kernel with optimizations configured at runtime
[09:00] <solid_liq> Crypticfortune: yeah.  you might want to try ia32 instead
[09:00] <Flannel> zoidberg: youre trying to login to another machien from your own?
[09:00] <solid_liq> Crypticfortune: 64 bit can be annoying because of the proprietary apps not having 64 bit flavors anyway
[09:00] <Crypticfortune> Tiplet: what do you mean sequence? for example: "seq 5 10" will print out "5 6 7 8 9 10"
[09:01] <zoidberg> Flannel, yes
[09:01] <braneq> Flannel: ok, thanx. i have onemore question :P
[09:01] <youkilldkennedy> Tiplet: How would I run it in the terminal? I'm a week old in linux ^^
[09:01] <Tiplet> Crypticfortune: Exactly like that, actually. lol
[09:02] <solid_liq> youkilldkennedy: go to a terminal and type the name.  if it doesn't work, type:    whereis programsname
[09:03] <zoidberg> Flannel, are u there
[09:03] <zoidberg> cananyone help me
[09:03] <youkilldkennedy> solid_liq: After pressing Whereis: MadMan it shows "Madman:" and thats it.
[09:04] <solid_liq> youkilldkennedy: try it all lower case
[09:04] <Kaso> So i wonder if anyone could gimme a hand; my firefox isnt saving its config between sessions, eariler people suggested it was permissions fault, but ls -al /home/kaso/.mozilla/ gives me drwxrwxr--  3 kaso kaso 4096 2007-02-12 14:39 firefox so i have full RW access, anyone got other ideas?
[09:04] <daftman> hi
[09:04] <daftman> can someone help me stop evolution from running at the start?
[09:04] <seamus7> Hi I'm on Edgy using XGL/Beryl on an ATI Radeon X1300 card ... works great ...  but half the time my computer freezes on bootup .... can someone scan my /var/log/messages, Xorg.0.log and xorg.conf files here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6523/  ???
[09:05] <solid_liq> Kaso: ls -l ~/.mozilla
[09:05] <Crypticfortune> solid_liq: ok, the i386 version breaks even sooner. it just says "loading" and hangs....
[09:05] <solid_liq> Kaso: ls -ld ~/.mozilla
[09:05] <solid_liq> Crypticfortune: hrm, weird
[09:05] <Flannel> zoidberg: Click the "options" button, remote login should be there
[09:06] <youkilldkennedy> Tiplet: Where do I find a pastebin?
[09:06] <solid_liq> youkilldkennedy: pastebin.com
[09:06] <Flannel> !paste | youkilldkennedy
[09:06] <ubotu> youkilldkennedy: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[09:06] <zoidberg> there is no options button
[09:06] <dromer> !pastebin | youkilldkennedy
[09:06] <zoidberg> Flannel, there is a Sessions button
[09:06] <daftman> !evolution
[09:06] <ubotu> evolution: The groupware suite. In component main, is optional. Version 2.8.1-0ubuntu4 (edgy), package size 5022 kB, installed size 38204 kB
[09:07] <Crypticfortune> is there ever any bad problem with the ubuntu installer not dealing well with certain cd-rom drives?
[09:07] <Flannel> zoidberg: lower left corner, no options button?  Alright, go ahead and login, then go to the Login preferences config, and the "remote" tab
[09:07] <Kaso> solid_liq, drwxrwxr-- 4 kaso kaso 4096 2007-02-12 21:00 /home/kaso/.mozilla   and its still not saving
[09:07] <zoidberg> ok then?
[09:07] <daftman> can some one help me remove evolution running at boot
[09:08] <youkilldkennedy> Tiplet: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6524/
[09:08] <seamus7> My system is freezing on boot up about half the time, any linux gurus out there available to scan my log files here... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6523/
[09:08] <Flannel> zoidberg: er, hmm.  that's not the right thing, that'll make it so others can login to you.  You're looking for local settings, what setting did you enable already?
[09:09] <braneq> i have install fglrx drivers in this edgy, and the system has be freezy few second after logon...
[09:09] <Slart> seamus7: my system does the same.. about half the time it halts after some usb stuff..
[09:09] <daftman> hello
[09:09] <daftman> can anyone help me remove evolution at start up?
[09:09] <Tiplet> youkilldkennedy: Have no idea what to make of that, was hoping it'd be a little more human readable. :E
[09:10] <bwilson> How can I start apache server?
[09:10] <youkilldkennedy> Tiplet: Err, I pasted the wrong thing.
[09:10] <Tiplet> daftman: Not a GNOME user but there should be an entry in the control panel to edit your session and/or auto-started programs.
[09:10] <Flannel> bwilson: it starts on bootup, but /etc/init.d/apache start
[09:10] <daftman> Tiplet: what control panel?
[09:10] <Flannel> bwilson: or /etc/init.d/apache2 start, if youre running apache2
[09:10] <seamus7> Slart: hmmm I bet it's something simple ... I'm on the <IP_ADDRESS> kernel on Edgy with XGL/Beryl using an ATI Radeon Mobile X1300 ... once it finishes booting everything works great
[09:10] <youkilldkennedy> Tiplet: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6525/
[09:10] <daftman> gnome doesn't have control panel
[09:11] <solid_liq> Kaso: try chown kaso:kaso -R ~/.mozilla
[09:11] <Tiplet> System > Preferences?
[09:11] <bwilson> Flannel:  in the init.d folder i have apache and apache2
[09:11] <Tiplet> I haven't used GNOME since... I can't remember.
[09:11] <whiz2_> does anyone in here know what file I need to edit to make a program startup when I boot Linux but before my desktop session begins?
[09:11] <daftman> I checked
[09:11] <daftman> it has the basic
[09:11] <daftman> it doesn't even list evolution
[09:11] <Flannel> bwilson: Well, then you have them both installed. and that's probably the reason you're having issues.
[09:11] <daftman> but the stupid bugger keep runing at start
[09:11] <daftman> the evolution server that is
[09:11] <brokenarrowLinux> hey, im completly new to Linux, and to Ubuntu, my question how do i get my sound to work?
[09:12] <Slart> seamus7: I'm using the 2.6.17-11-generic kernel on a AMD 64 bit... same thing here.. when it works it works flawlessly.. using 64 bit ubuntu, beryl sometimes
[09:12] <senectus> is there any way to force apt to upgrade from CDROM _ONLY_ ?
[09:12] <Tiplet> Oh, I thought you meant the client itself.
[09:12] <daftman> no
[09:12] <daftman> not the client
[09:12] <daftman> the server
[09:12] <whiz2_> I'm running kubuntu and trying to have vncserver running as my user when the computer boots
[09:12] <Kaso> solid_liq, no change with that
[09:12] <daftman> evolution-exchange-storage
[09:12] <Slart> seamus7: oh.. and I use nvidia
[09:12] <daftman> and evolution-data-server
[09:12] <whiz2_> without having to login to TTY to start it
[09:13] <youkilldkennedy> Tiplet: Mind taking a look at the new pastebin? I pasted the wrong stuff earlier. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6525/
[09:13] <seamus7> Slart: yeah it's frustrating .... hmmm nvidia huh? I'm on ATI ... I've read that Nvidia cards are much easier than ATI to work with in Ubuntu
[09:13] <solid_liq> Kaso: run:   which firefox
[09:13] <Slart> seamus7: but I think my system hangs before x even starts, so I don't think I can blame X
[09:13] <Tiplet> youkilldkennedy: Looked already, don't know what to make of it. :\
[09:13] <bwilson> I just removed apache2 and apache and for some reason in the init.d folder there is apache and apache 2.  Why?
[09:13] <youkilldkennedy> Tiplet: Oh, okay.
[09:13] <whiz2_> i take it no one knows?
[09:14] <Kaso> solid_liq, /usr/bin/firefox
[09:14] <kraut> moin
[09:14] <senectus> is there any way to force apt to upgrade from CDROM _ONLY_ ? (from dapper to edgy)
[09:14] <seamus7> Slart: yeah i dunno really.. I'm hoping some linux guru here will look at my logs...
[09:14] <Deaglebear> hello is am getting this error can someone help me?
[09:14] <Deaglebear> E: Type 'deb' is not known on line 36 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:14] <Deaglebear> E: Unable to lock the list directory
[09:14] <Slart> seamus7: well.. I haven't tried ATI on linux.. but the nvidia card is pretty easy, driver installation is a no brainer.. nvidia supplies a install script tha tbuilds kernel modules, edits xorg.conf and everything
[09:14] <Flannel> senectus: sure, remove all non CDrom stuff from your repository (well, comment them)
[09:14] <Tiplet> whiz2_: You sure apache(2) were meta-packages?
[09:14] <solid_liq> Kaso: have you tried running firefox from the shell?
[09:14] <seamus7> Any linux guru willing to look at a few of my log files here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6523/   my system is freezing half the time on boot up.
[09:15] <Tiplet> dpkg -l | grep apache
[09:15] <whiz2_> huh?
[09:15] <whiz2_> I'm not running apache(2)
[09:15] <Kaso> Umm, just running "firefox" seems to give me the exact same results
[09:15] <seamus7> Slart: Nvidia is what I'll go with on my next computer ... this one was a surprise gift so I had no say.
[09:15] <Frogzoo> Deaglebear: looks like a syntax error in your sources.list
[09:15] <senectus> Flannel, thats what I thought, and have done that, but it won't "upgrade" off that CDROM
[09:15] <Tiplet> I meant either package: apache/apache2.
[09:15] <kazuka> hey
[09:16] <Deaglebear> ok so how can i change that line to remove the quotes
[09:16] <whiz2_> I'm not running apache at all
[09:16] <Flannel> senectus: which CD are you using?  Desktop or alternate?
[09:16] <dromer> hmm, I have a pc running blackbox, and the scrollwhel of the mouse doesn't work. the middle-mouse-button does, but I can't scroll with it. if I use synergy with the mouse of another pc however I can scroll. how can I make the scroll work on this pc?
[09:16] <Frogzoo> Deaglebear: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.au
[09:16] <Frogzoo> Deaglebear: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:16] <senectus> Flannel, desktop
[09:16] <Tiplet> whiz2_: Wrong person, damn tab completion for nicks. XD
[09:17] <Deaglebear> which one do i use?
[09:17] <whiz2_> lol
[09:17] <whiz2_> is ok
[09:17] <Flannel> senectus: that's why.  Only the alternate CD is a repository, the DesktopCD has a diminuitive repository on it (with just bare essentials commonly required for internet, build-essential, ndiswrapper, etc)
[09:17] <Frogzoo> Deaglebear: 1st one was typo
[09:17] <Crypticfortune> holy crap! might have a solution to my non-booting kernel! boot with pci=nommconf
[09:17] <Deaglebear> ok ty oner sec while i do thatlol
[09:18] <senectus> Flannel, awww crap, what size is the alternate cd to download?
[09:18] <Deaglebear> sudo: gedit: command not found
[09:18] <Crypticfortune> i dont even know what that means, but there's a funky ubuntu logo on my screen and a scrolling bar thing, so i assume its working
[09:18] <Flannel> senectus: about the same as the desktop, ~700mb
[09:18] <Flannel> Deaglebear: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:18] <Flannel> Deaglebear: and, ^ is "ctrl", for the shortcuts
[09:18] <senectus> Flannel, ok thanks, I'll go find it now
[09:18] <Flannel> senectus: same place as the desktop CDs ;)
[09:19] <whiz2_> I still need some help
[09:20] <mackinac> it's not because sources.list is looking for dapper cd rom?
[09:21] <Flannel> mackinac: presumably, when he did "apt-cdrom add", he had the edgy CD in the drive, and that was added
[09:21] <mackinac> ahhh :)
[09:21] <seamus7> Hello all ... anyone available to scan my log files at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6523/   ... my system is freezing on boot up half the time.
[09:22] <bwilson> I uninstalled apache2 and then removed the init.d file and when i reinstalled apache, the init file wasnt there.  how do i get it back?
[09:22] <Deaglebear> ok now that that is fixed i was trying to get automatix in which as u can tell i messed up i tried to do it how they told me to on the website and it did not work any ideas?
[09:22] <Crypticfortune> ooo so close. once the funky ubuntu logo disapeared, the system just hangs... =(
[09:22] <mindstate> ive been trying to use fglrx to enable 3d rendering, but i cant seem to get X to start up with it loaded, ive tried both ubuntu and manual installs and i have a ATI Radeon 7000/VE..any help?
[09:22] <brokenarrowLinux> how do i configurethis computer to get my sound working?
[09:23] <rpc> ls *.txt|grep crap <---how do i make it so only filename is displayed and not extension?
[09:23] <sdfwt54rg> DCC SEND AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
[09:23] <Kaso> How did that work then?
[09:24] <mackinac> :o
[09:24] <Kaso> ooh, mirc buffer overflow
[09:24] <Flannel> skreet, brent, pilgrim, paras, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit before youre banned
[09:24] <Flannel> Kaso: no, overzealous routers
[09:24] <whiz2_> can someone tell me how to make a script that logs in as a user, runs a program, then logs out?
[09:24] <pilgrim> Flannel, what did I do?
[09:24] <Deaglebear> !automatix
[09:24] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[09:24] <Kaso> hmm
[09:25] <ndlovu> the gnome Power Manager applet doesn't seem to be getting updated information from the hardware (BIOS?). It only seems to get read at startup, but not again. Is there some way to try and communicate with the hardware directly so I can isolate the problem?
[09:25] <Flannel> !exploit | pilgrim
[09:25] <ubotu> pilgrim: There are people around who think it is funny to abuse a bug in certain routers by sending invalid DCC commands. When bitten by this bug ops in #ubuntu remove users so they are no longer targets. To fix it have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit
[09:25] <whiz2_> automatrix is not what I wantd
[09:25] <whiz2_> automatix*
[09:25] <mindstate> ive been trying to use fglrx to enable 3d rendering, but i cant seem to get X to start up with it loaded, ive tried both ubuntu and manual installs and i have a ATI Radeon 7000/VE..any help?
[09:25] <Deaglebear> thats what i wanted
[09:25] <pilgrim> Flannel, should I just leave #ubuntu till I fix this thing?
[09:26] <darkstar> Hi. Should I then remove automatix from my /apt/sources.list ?
[09:26] <pilgrim> mneptok, ok, ok. leaving..
[09:27] <mneptok> pilgrim: do you use this same nick elsewhere?
[09:27] <pilgrim> yeah
[09:27] <mneptok> (i.e. EF?)
[09:27] <Frogzoo> whiz2_: su USERNAME -c COMMAND
[09:27] <pilgrim> mneptok, oh, no, no other networks
[09:27] <seamus7> Any linux gurus here willing to look at my Xorg.0.log and other logs at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6523/  ?  My system is freezing on bootup half the time.
[09:27] <mneptok> pilgrim: ah, ok.
[09:27] <pilgrim> or servers rather
[09:28] <misterfamous> how do I access windows drives from a dual boot install?
[09:28] <darkstar> HI, can anyone suggest me a fast french mirror from which I can dld Feisty DVD?
[09:28] <Flannel> pilgrim: it's a simple fix, no big deal
[09:28] <Flannel> darkstar: #ubuntu+1 for feisty support
[09:28] <darkstar> Flannel, THANKs
[09:28] <mneptok> pilgrim: if you're in here, my guess is that you have worked around the problem (maybe by connecting to 8001)
[09:29] <shapras> hello
[09:29] <Deaglebear> can sum1 help me install automatix or tell me y i shouldnt
[09:29] <pilgrim> mneptok, nope.
[09:29] <Flannel> Deaglebear: don't.  Because its dangerous.
[09:29] <pilgrim> mneptok, just fixed it now. gonna reconnect and should be good to go
[09:29] <youkilldkennedy> Tiplet: I found out why it was crashing... I feel like a moron now.
[09:30] <seamus7> misterfamous: my windows partition automatically mounts when I enter Ubuntu ... you may have to add a mount point entry in /etc/fstab
[09:30] <Flannel> !ntfs | mneptok
[09:30] <ubotu> mneptok: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[09:30] <mneptok> Deaglebear: Automatix is extremely dangerous. you will find no sympathy if it leaves your machine unusable.
[09:30] <Flannel> ack, misterfamous, that was for you.
[09:30] <Slart> Deaglebear: it sometimes work and sometimes it just damages your system beyond repair.. but hey.. if you like reinstalling.. go ahead =)
[09:30] <Crypticfortune> question: on the ubuntu install boot screen, the green text that says what's loading and stuff shouldnt be like scattered half-way across the screen and partially doubled, right? what's wrong with that?
[09:31] <mneptok> Crypticfortune: messed up framebuffer probe. use nosplash.
[09:31] <misterfamous> thanks
[09:32] <Skuller> hey guys...anyone available here to help me out in getting the APC ups driver to work?..."apcupsd"
[09:32] <Crypticfortune> mneptok: ok thanks. i'll try that next time it crashes =(
[09:33] <pilgrim> When I click on anyhelp link (from yelp) I get the link opened in firefox and then there is a parser error: XML Parsing Error: not well-formed ...this only happens for one username...how do I fix it?
[09:33] <seamus7> This is probably an easy one (just not for me) ... something is freezing up my system on boot up half the time ... anyone available to scan my log files for obvious problems at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6523/   ???
[09:34] <_Rappy_> what's the startup file for x called?
[09:34] <rryan> seamus7: I took a look, but can't really think of anything. do you have any more information? was it ever stable? what changed ?
[09:34] <rryan> seamus7: and are those logs from a crash bootup or a healthy bootup?
[09:35] <Flannel> pilgrim: sounds like some config file for that user is messed up
[09:35] <bwilson> How can I reinstall the apache init.d file?
[09:35] <pilgrim> Flannel, yeah....I did delete .yelp altogether too
[09:35] <pilgrim> Flannel, don't know what else to delete
[09:35] <Flannel> bwilson: your problem is you have two apaches listening (or trying) on the same port, which is why you can't start the one youre trying to
[09:36] <seamus7> rryan: I just reinstalled Edgy a couple days ago ... it was stable before the reinstall but that was on the 2.6.16-10 kernel ... my reinstall used the 2.6.17-11 kernel .... I'm on Edgy with XGL/Beryl on an ATI Radeon Mobile X1300 ... as you probably noticed . :)
[09:36] <bwilson> Flannel: How can I fix that?
[09:36] <Flannel> pilgrim: I don't either.  ~/.firefox should... Er, actually, I don't know where FF stores it's config, might be ~/.mozilla/firefox for all I know
[09:36] <Flannel> bwilson: stop apache2 (sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop) then start apache (sudo /etc/init.d/apache start)
[09:36] <pilgrim> Flannel, I think it's the latter
[09:36] <_Rappy_> it is Flannel
[09:37] <Flannel> bwilson: but, ultimately, you probably want to remove the one you don't use
[09:37] <seamus7> rryan: the Xorg.0.log is from a healthy boot up .... the xorg.conf is static ... and the /var/log/messages contains messages over multiple sessions i believe
[09:37] <Crypticfortune> Flannel, bwilson: alternatively sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 resart ;)
