[04:51] <powergoal2> tritium: but he wouldn't be able to run gnome or kde without an xorg, right?
[04:51] <tritium> powergoal2: he needs one, but in hardy, it's relatively empty
[04:51] <fallore> nvm i maximized it
[04:52] <powergoal2> tritium: huh...  does it use some other configuration file?  or what?
[04:52] <Gnea> fallore: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   <-- should generate a new xorg.conf
[04:52] <fallore> thanks gnea, lemme try that
[04:52] <powergoal2> Gnea: good call
[04:52] <papp7337> yeah, i have and whenever i click any other setting (my desired setting is 1024 x 768 with an 85hz refresh), it flickers and the screen moves extremely fast horizontally
[04:52] <tritium> powergoal2: no, it does more auto-configuring
[04:52] <papp7337> ive tried everything i could think of and im stuck
[04:52] <Stargazer> Anybody know why i can't get a screenshot of a movie ?
[04:53] <Gnea> powergoal2: at least it'll get him out of that tight box
[04:53] <powergoal2> tritium: thats cool, as long as it is a good guesser...
[04:53] <DozedOnLinux> Stargazer:  use VLC , has screen cap right in it
[04:53] <qr> Stargazer: you need to use a video player that can snapshot a movie to take a capture of it. VLC can do this.
[04:53] <tritium> powergoal2: you can still customize it
[04:53] <Stargazer> I never knew of that feature
[04:53] <qr> Stargazer: by that I mean you need to use the built in snapshot feature, not that using vlc will let you screenshot it.
[04:53] <powergoal2> Stargazer: i believe mplayer can as well
[04:53] <Zaq_unkwn> where should i install my boot loader on a HDD that has 2 partitions, winXP + ubuntu, my options are HDD or sda.winxp or sda/ubuntu ?
[04:54] <Tom_nuggin> does anyone know how to exit out of full screen mode
[04:54] <Daisuke_Laptop> Tom_nuggin: f11?
[04:54] <Bhavesh> Tom_nuggin full screen mode of what?
[04:54] <unavailable> Zaq_unkwn: depends on what you want to use as a boot loader
[04:54] <qr> Tom_nuggin: that depends what program you have in full screen mode
[04:54] <droopsta915> can i install a deb-bin file through synaptic?
[04:54] <Daisuke_Laptop> Tom_nuggin: could you be more specific?
[04:54] <Tom_nuggin> oh whoops
[04:54] <Tom_nuggin> thought I was in vbox
[04:54] <Zaq_unkwn> i want ubuntu to be my boot loader
[04:55] <ricardo_> can anyone tell me how to install whatever I want in ubuntu? I need to install the drivers and I just dont know how to do it
[04:55] <DozedOnLinux> ricardo_:  what drivers do you wish to install ?
[04:55] <powergoal2> ricardo_: aptitude is the package management system for ubuntu, i believe
[04:55] <Tom_nuggin> does anyone know how to exit fullscreen mode in vbox?
[04:55] <unavailable> Zaq_unkwn: i would go with the default setting then
[04:55] <monstrMobile> ricard0-what do you want to know how to install?
[04:55] <ubun2Junky> I upgraded kernel from 2.6.22-14 to 2.6.22-15 and my server crashed.  I'm getting check root= bootarg cat /proc/cmdline or missing modules error when booting.  I tried booting on old kernel 2.6.22-14 but get same error...  any suggestions?
[04:55] <Zaq_unkwn> alright will try that
[04:55] <Zaq_unkwn> brb later
[04:55] <tritium> powergoal2: apt-get is the more standard, although aptitude works too
[04:55] <unavailable> Zaq_unkwn: although you may run into problems booting to xp
[04:55] <dataspy> maybe alt+enter
[04:55] <ricardo_> dozed0nlinux --->sound
[04:56] <retlaw> hello, does anybody know how I can change my font in alt+f1-6?
[04:56] <ricardo_> I want to install the sound
[04:56] <powergoal2> tritium: the difference is that apt-get is purely CLI while aptitude is curses, right?
[04:56] <monstrMobile> ricardo-what is your sound card?
[04:56] <DozedOnLinux> ricardo_:  sound card model , and how are you installing it?
[04:56] <ricardo_> hp
[04:56] <Daisuke_Laptop> retlaw: it's a terminal, i don't think you can
[04:56] <tritium> powergoal2: aptitude has cli options as well
[04:56] <monstrMobile> ricardo-type of pc?
[04:56] <papp7337> can anyone suggest anything for me? i run win xp and ubuntu on a 40 gb hdd and my monitor works fine in xp but in ubuntu, the only setting it will allow me to have (unless i deal with abnoxious flickering and the screen moving horizontally a million miles per hour) is 1280 x 1024 at 60 hz, when i want 1024 x 768 with 85hz (the setting i have in windows). i run an intel 810 chipset. help?

[04:59] <ubun2Junky> get this messege when booting.  check root= bootarg cat /proc/cmdline or missing modules
[04:59] <tritium> ubun2Junky: custom kernel?
[04:59] <unavailable> acros try emerald
[04:59] <arcos> what is emerals
[04:59] <Ashfire908> Could someone recommened one of the finger daemons to me?

[04:59] <unavailable> !emerald | arcos
[04:59] <powergoal2> ubun2Junky: did you manually edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file?
[04:59] <unavailable> dang it
[04:59] <arcos> tritium: sry yeah emerald, what is it?
[04:59] <ubun2Junky> I was hoping to perhaps reinstall it, but now I can just get initram
[05:00] <powergoal2> ubun2Junky: it looks like you are passing a bad argument to the bootloader
[05:00] <droopsta915> ricardo_:just get all the codecs in the terminal

[05:00] <tritium> droopsta915: don't paste here
[05:00] <powergoal2> fallore: i mucked up your video settings.  you didn't make a backup did you?  of your old xorg.conf file?
[05:01] <dennister> ok, how do i find out which character coding terminal is using?
[05:01] <fallore> powergoal2: nope :[
[05:01] <droopsta915> sorry

[05:01] <ricardo_> thank you droppsta915 and DOzed0nLinux
[05:01] <tritium> arcos: good, so you can read the description there
[05:01] <Bhavesh> doesn't xfree86 --configure create a basic config file?
[05:01] <droopsta915> Ricardo_:copy that and throw it in the terminal
[05:01] <powergoal2> ubun2Junky: did it overwrite your old kernel?  or do you have multiple boot options?
[05:01] <tritium> Bhavesh: ubuntu uses Xorg, not XFree86
[05:02] <powergoal2> ubun2Junky: you might want to try loading your old kernel and figure out what went wrong.
[05:02] <arcos> Tritium: so now I download the packages from gnome-look.org to emerald?
[05:02] <ubun2Junky> powergoal2: I have two kernel options... I've tried loading the old one, but same results
[05:02] <droopsta915> can i install a deb-bin file through synaptic package manager?
[05:02] <ubun2Junky> powergoal2: I even tried it in safemode and same thing...

[05:03] <tritium> Bhavesh: use "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"

[05:04] <powergoal2> ubun2Junky: if you are using a SATA disk you have to make sure that you build in support for the SATA drivers, also when i updated my kernel not too long ago, it switched the name of my hdd from sda to hda, you might need to modify something like that in your menu.lst file
[05:04] <debCarlos> How can i resize images from console

[05:05] <CutMeOwnThroat> or somesuch
[05:05] <debCarlos> tritium: Ok, thanks....
[05:05] <ubun2Junky> powergoal2: I do have sata drives...  always gives me problems!  So it should read hda and not sda?

[05:15] <CutMeOwnThroat> droopsta915, now there's someone who's keen to shoot himself in the foot *shrug*
[05:15] <debCarlos> Ubottu was better
[05:15] <IndyGunFreak> nalioth: we just miss ubottu
[05:15] <debCarlos> Ubottu would know what fgrlx is lol
[05:15] <fallore_> powergoal2: how do i copy it without the numbers :X
[05:16] <Bhavesh> stage 2 of my server building plan :)
[05:16] <fallore_> powergoal2: nvm i think i got it
[05:16] <nalioth> debCarlos: they are the same
[05:16] <tritium> debCarlos: be appreciative for what we have at the moment
[05:16] <droopsta915> chmod a+rwx
[05:16] <unavailable> nalioth its my fault
[05:16] <fallore_> powergoal2: testing, hopefully brb
[05:16] <powergoal2> fallore_: click "followup/no format" in top right
[05:16] <debCarlos> lol
[05:16] <droopsta915> chmod a-rwx
[05:16] <droopsta915> sorry, lol
[05:16] <debCarlos> Yeah, just kidding
[05:16] <powergoal2> papp7337: what resolution are you hoping for on your monitor?
[05:16] <papp7337> 1024 x 768
[05:16] <neothecat> good morning EST.  i am running 8.04 on on amd64.  i never had problems with my wireless, but i just changed my router.  now, when my laptop comes up, i have no connection, but if i restart networking, it's works.  any ideas?
[05:16] <papp7337> 85hz resolution
[05:16] <CutMeOwnThroat> egrep -v 'lol|rofl'
[05:17] <bobertdos> debCarlos: Man, I leave the channel for a few hours and all of the sudden, they turn my world upside down and replace the bot! :p
[05:17] <fallore_> powergoal2: no luck, still only giving me 800x600 as my only option. i'm gonna try tinkering with a few things and seeing if i can get it going, if not i'll come back lol :P thanks for all your help thus far
[05:17] <arcos> tritium: thanks but one question, how do you install a theme from, for example gnome-look?
[05:17] <crdlb> papp7337: it's not the problem, but you have the nvidia driver intalled :)
[05:17] <debCarlos> bobertdos: yeah lol
[05:17] <powergoal2> fallore_: you're welcome, good luck :)
[05:17] <papp7337> so i just uninstall the nvidia driver?
[05:18] <crdlb> papp7337: yes, you should, but I don't think it would help for modesetting
[05:18] <tritium> arcos: not sure, as I've never done it
[05:18] <keev> droopsta915, but i dont think i can chmod a-rwx /
[05:18] <keev> lol
[05:18] <powergoal2> papp7337: line 838 shows that there is a modeline for the resolution.  in your xorg.conf file are there lines that determine resolution?
[05:18] <CutMeOwnThroat> keev, only once... only once
[05:18] <arcos> Tritium: well no problem, emerald looks cool, thanks for the help
[05:18] <powergoal2> papp7337: or are you running a version of ubuntu that doesn't use that xorg.conf file to that extent?
[05:18] <unavailable> arcos if you have emerald installed, go to system > accessories and click "emerald"
[05:18] <fallore_> powergoal2: i used to have the nvidia restricted drivers, i'm not sure if i still do but iirc that was how i got my resolution the way i wanted it. is there a way i can check if i have them, and if i do, how do i configure them?
[05:18] <papp7337> im new to ubuntu (obviously) im using 8.04.1
[05:18] <unavailable> arcos then you can load your downloaded themes from there
[05:19] <papp7337> i dont know where xorg.conf is
[05:19] <ubun2Junky> powergoal2: figured it out....  the uuid wasn't matching...  why would the uuid change?
[05:19] <dabbu> i am not able to change my fonts size earlier it was easy but now i am not able
[05:19] <powergoal2> fallore_: yeah, it has you using the framebuffer, and no video driver in the xorg file.
[05:19] <arcos> unavaliable: oh okay, so I just save them to the desktop and then load them from emerald?
[05:19] <jjbin> hpapp7337：hi, I am aslo new usrer
[05:19] <unavailable> arcos http://openswitch.org/2008/04/28/how-to-enable-emerald-in-hardy-heron-804/
[05:19] <droopsta915> keev, once u make the group chmod a-rwx <name of group>, am i right cutmeownthroat??
[05:19] <powergoal2> fallore_: is there a script like xorgconfig provided with ubuntu's xorg?
[05:19] <Bhavesh> chgrp
[05:19] <Bhavesh> to change group
[05:20] <papp7337> then were together, huh, jjbin?
[05:20] <bobertdos> papp7337: /etc/X11 if I recall correctly.
[05:20] <Bhavesh> wait nevermind
[05:20] <keev> would that stop them from compiling apps and such, droopsta915?
[05:20] <powergoal2> papp7337: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:20] <jjbin> welcome
[05:20] <dabbu> i am not able to change my fonts size earlier it was easy but now i am not able
[05:20] <keev> I would like them to be able to do that
[05:20] <CutMeOwnThroat> droopsta915, I mean I think it's highly likely that he can't start any program afterwards (although I must admit to not having tried it myself)
[05:20] <unavailable> arcos yep
[05:20] <unavailable> arcos, and then when your done, you can delete them from your desktop
[05:21] <papp7337> http://paste.ubuntu.com/37032/ That's my xorg.conf file
[05:21] <dabbu> i am not able to change my fonts size earlier it was easy but now i am not able
[05:21] <fallore_> powergoal2: i'm not sure. there's that stuff in the top of the xorg commentary, that's all i know of
[05:21] <debCarlos> !methinks
[05:21] <ubot3> Factoid methinks not found
[05:21] <powergoal2> papp7337: sorry, im not familiar with the way ubuntu works.  i don't actually use it, so i don't know how they configure the video settings or where they do it, because it isn't in the xorg.conf file
[05:21] <unavailable> arcos and actually its system > preferences > emerald theme manager
[05:22] <droopsta915> uI assume u need to take away the privilages from the group,
[05:22] <papp7337> i don't know either, any suggestions of where to go or what to do?
[05:22] <droopsta915> keev, sorry buddy, i can't help u
[05:22] <unavailable> arcos then you click the "import" button
[05:22] <powergoal2> fallore_: bring up a terminal and type xorg and hit tab twice to see available programs that begin with xorg
[05:22] <debCarlos> How can i make that lynx show ascii images ?
[05:22] <keev> droopsta915, thanks for you help. I'm going to try your way now
[05:22] <fallore_> powergoal2: will do
[05:22] <keev> you 2 CutMeOwnThroat
[05:22] <droopsta915> now to my problem that ive had for two days
[05:22] <CutMeOwnThroat> droopsta915, hm, interesting... I can set chmod go-rx / and still see it as a normal user - seems there's one more safeguard against stupidity than I thought :)
[05:22] <fallore_> powergoal2: my computer makes that beeping sound it makes when you try to erase nothing with backspace
[05:23] <unavailable> fallore_: when??
[05:23] <CutMeOwnThroat> droopsta915, that's actually fascinating
[05:23] <powergoal2> fallore_: you have the system bell programmed in. it isnt a problem, but nothing comes up?
[05:23] <bobertdos> papp7337: Did you ever explain what it is you're trying to do?
[05:23] <fallore_> powergoal2: nope :/
[05:23] <dabbu> i am not able to change my fonts size earlier it was easy but now i am not able
[05:23] <fallore_> powergoal2: i hate that thing, how do i turn it off :D
[05:24] <powergoal2> fallore_: hm.  you have the nvidia drivers installed?
[05:24] <papp7337> i'm trying to get my computer to display 1024 x 768 in 85 hz (or any hz) without flickering or moving randomly

[05:29] <powergoal2> droopsta915: what are you typing into the terminal to execute the file?
[05:30] <fallore_> powergoal2: here goes, rebooting X
[05:30] <powergoal2> fallore_: :)
[05:30] <droopsta915>  chmod +x PacketTracer5_*.bin
[05:30] <papp7337> I'm trying to edit my xorg.conf but it won't save because I'm "not the owner". Help?
[05:30] <powergoal2> droopsta915: that makes it executable
[05:30] <bobertdos> Dabbu, have you tried restarting X after changing the size? It might just need to refresh like that
[05:30] <powergoal2> droopsta915: the next thing you need to do is get to the directory: cd Desktop
[05:30] <unavailable> papp7337: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:30] <unavailable> naah

[05:32] <OzFalcon> unavailable, I was looking for info about package version updates. (ie Does Hardy update packages or just patch existing versions with fixes)???
[05:33] <unavailable> efrem no lappy im on a desktop
[05:33] <tritium> unavailable: and you're trying to get to the second virtual console?  If so, you need ctrl-alt-f2
[05:33] <doug435> hello i have a toshiba A215
[05:33] <droopsta915> powergoal2:( still says no such file or directory
[05:33] <DozedOnLinux> !spanish
[05:33] <ubot3> En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es.
[05:33] <tritium> unavailable: many people seem to forget there is a first virtual console ;)
[05:33] <unavailable> tritium no i mean Alt+F2 (brings up rundialog)
[05:33] <doug435> that i am trying to run ubuntu on and it is comin up with a vid error sayin no monitor
[05:34] <powergoal2> droopsta915: and you are in the right directory typing ./thisprogram.bin   right?
[05:34] <fallore> powergoal2: here goes
[05:34] <doug435> hello i have a toshiba A215 that i am trying to run ubuntu on and it is comin up with a vid error sayin no monitor some one help me out ?
[05:34] <powergoal2> doug435: are you trying the livecd?
[05:34] <doug435> yes
[05:35] <droopsta915> the file is on the desktop, should i be someware else?
[05:35] <unavailable> OzFalcon: not sure may wish to ask someone like Pici
[05:35] <powergoal2> doug435: get to a terminal screen ctrl+alt+f1 or f2 and type lspci.  the last time i installed ubuntu on a machine the live cd didn't know how to respond to a intel 945 video card.  and that may be what you are experiencing.
[05:35] <fallore> powergoal2: new error: http://paste2.org/p/58213
[05:35] <OzFalcon> unavailable, Who's that? (Pici)
[05:35] <powergoal2> doug435: lscpi will show you the video card type
[05:35] <bobertdos> dabbu: Do you have a System->Preferences->Font menu?
[05:35] <fallore> powergoal2: it seems to be that bottom part "unable to write" that's the problem
[05:36] <unavailable> OzFalcon: pici is a smart person here in this room
[05:36] <dabbu> bobertdos:no....System->Preference->Appearance  only
[05:36] <unavailable> OzFalcon: as opposed to me, a 4 month noob
[05:36] <dennister> found some synthesizer conf file i could edit, so need to reboot to see if it all works as it's supposed to...at boot
[05:36] <debCarlos> !tork
[05:36] <ubot3> tork: anonymity manager for KDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.26-0ubuntu3 (hardy), package size 1850 kB, installed size 6068 kB
[05:36] <bobertdos> dabbu: Are you using Hardy Heron?
[05:36] <dabbu> bobertdos:yes
[05:37] <OzFalcon> Yeah. I'v only been using Linux for about 10yrs now too.
[05:37] <unavailable> so how do I make Alt+F2 bring up a run command dialog like default????
[05:37] <powergoal2> fallore: thats because you aren't running as root
[05:37] <debCarlos> Does using tork is legal ?
[05:37] <dabbu> bobertdos:earlier i was able to do that but it has stopped now
[05:37] <powergoal2> fallore: the /etc/ directory doesn't allow standard users to write to it by default
[05:37] <Guarulhos> ;}
[05:37] <bobertdos> dabbu: I know, and that doesn't make any sense, so I'm having trouble coming up with anything.
[05:37] <fallore> powergoal2: ah that makes sense. means i have to remember my root password though :X
[05:37] <debCarlos> Is there anything like tork for GNOME ?
[05:38] <unavailable> fallore shouldnt it be your login password?
[05:38] <dabbu>   bobertdos:i had istalled Gtk-ChTheme and then uninstall ..actually this problem came after installing this appliation
[05:38] <fallore> unavailable: on the account i'm using, "austin," the password is different from when i try to log in as root
[05:38] <OzFalcon> Am I the only one that has problems finding info on Ubuntu's happenings? Example - Where was information to BugJam posted?
[05:38] <unavailable> fallore: aah
[05:38] <tritium> OzFalcon: do you subscribe to mailing lists, or read fridge.ubuntu.com?
[05:38] <powergoal2> fallore: oh, don't login as root, run ''sudo nvidia-xconfig''
[05:39] <powergoal2> fallore: to run that as root
[05:39] <OzFalcon> Nothing about Global bugjam was posted on Ubuntu website.
[05:39] <unavailable> so how do I make Alt+F2 bring up a run command dialog like default????
[05:39] <tritium> OzFalcon: there are other forms of communication besides websites.  See my question above.
[05:39] <bobertdos> dabbu: Then perhaps you should try letting Ubuntu reload one of its default themes and see if that helps.
[05:40] <OzFalcon> tritium, Yeah. I only found about about it after some people posted blogs on the Planet Ubuntu.
[05:40] <fallore> powergoal2: thanks
[05:40] <tritium> OzFalcon: there are mailing lists, etc.
[05:40] <dabbu>  bobertdos:i have changed the theme but i didn't understand what u r asking
[05:40] <fallore> powergoal2: restarting now
[05:40] <droopsta915> powergoal2_ ./PacketTracer5*.bin, thats what im typing
[05:40] <powergoal2> fallore: cool
[05:40] <powergoal2> droopsta915: does the name include the * ?
[05:40] <bobertdos> dabbu: Change the theme again, to one of the defaults, like Human.
[05:41] <OzFalcon> tritium, Surely posting Such an even should be on a more "Notice" like position. Not just on mailing lists. (Very unprofessional)
[05:41] <fallore> powergoal2: bah. nvidia-xconfig ran fine and apparently changed something about my xorg.conf (as it said) but i still only have one option for resolution, and nothing else is different.
[05:41] <unavailable> why doesnt alt+f2 bring up a run dialog on my box (not a lappy)
[05:41] <droopsta915> poergoal2_ no,I also tryed without, i figured my wildcard would work,
[05:41] <tritium> OzFalcon: your opinion.  Others (me included) don't care to know about it.
[05:42] <dabbu>  bobertdos:i have done that but nothing happened ...see i am going to attend my class,so i will come later if my problem is not solved..thanks 4 ur assistant
[05:42] <powergoal2> droopsta915: try typing ./Pack and hit tab to get the autocomplete to work
[05:42] <OzFalcon> tritium, Have to go bavck to work. :-(
[05:42] <bobertdos> dabbu: One more thing. Try sudo apt-get purge on that package you uninstalled to make sure it's gone completely.
[05:43] <OzFalcon> Bye all.
[05:43] <tritium> OzFalcon: good luck
[05:43] <arcos> unavaliable: thanks a lot for the help, people like you make me stick with ubuntu
[05:43] <unavailable> arcos   anytime
[05:43] <dabbu> bobertdos:ok
[05:43] <benzss> suppose i want to convert a .mp4 movie to .avi... how would i go about doing this?
[05:44] <powergoal2> fallore: hm  the problem i am having is that im not too familiar with the way that ubuntu wants to configure things with the gui portion.
[05:44] <powergoal2> fallore: i know how xorg works with the conf, but that doesn't seem to be working with ubuntu
[05:44] <fallore> powergoal2: i'm gonna attempt to do some research on my own, thank you for all your help and i might be back :P
[05:44] <powergoal2> fallore: cool.  good luck!
[05:44] <droopsta915> powergoal2-no didnt work, well it's time forme to go to bed, ill try tomarrow, i need this for my homework but ill figure something out, thanx again, goodnight all.
[05:45] <Offline> I have a problem in showing NTFS drive partitions in Ubuntu. is there any way to fix this without logging again to Windows??
[05:46] <unavailable> is alt+F2 directly connected to Gnome-Panel?
[05:46] <unavailable> yep it is
[05:46] <unavailable> nevermind
[05:46] <powergoal2> Offline: do you have the kernel module for ntfs support installed?
[05:47] <powergoal2> does ubuntu ship with ntfs-3g?
[05:47] <bobertdos> Offline: Could you please be a little more specific?
[05:47] <bobertdos> powergoal2: Hardy Heron does come with that built-i/preinstalled, yes :)
[05:47] <tritium> powergoal2: yes
[05:50] <Offline> sometimes when I log on Ubuntu, windows drives (NTFS) disappear I dont why?? So i have to log out and log on windows and i do the CHKDSK utiliy and reboot and everything will be ok. My question is CAN i do this from Ubuntu without the need to reboot??
[05:50] <keev> thanks CutMeOwnThroat its simply by chmoding the dir to 711
[05:50] <keev> even "/"
[05:51] <tritium> keev: you really shouldn't muck with system dirs/files in that way.
[05:51] <Offline> and i am not familiar with this ntfs-3g??
[05:51] <holycow> they dissapear because ntfs is left in an uncleen state when you shut down
[05:51] <holycow> so when linux sees them, it goes uh oh, i dont eant to damage these and refuses to mount them
[05:51] <unavailable> Offline: are you hibernating or sleeping windows when you go to ubuntu?
[05:51] <powergoal2> Offline: holycow  i would think that ubuntu would do a clean umount of mounted discs though...
[05:51] <keev> tritium, i only wanted to keep users from viewing files in "/"
[05:51] <holycow> you can override this behaviour at risk of data loss on ntfs partitions
[05:52] <holycow> or
[05:52] <holycow> just make sure to shut downxp properly
[05:52] <Offline> maybe it was because of loss of power.
[05:52] <unavailable> or
[05:52] <tritium> keev: you can mess up package management when you start doing things like that
[05:52] <unavailable> just get rid of xp completely
[05:52] <powergoal2> unavailable: ah hah!  thats the solution!
[05:53] <Offline> i just used linux one week ago. so sometimes i need windows.
[05:53] <keev> tritium, so do you think im safe with chmod 711 /
[05:53] <unavailable> powergoal2:  i read an article on a computer that was infected with windows soo bad the nsa said it should be formatted, disassembled and lifted with one of those big car magnets at the junkyard
[05:53] <keev> because i've already done it :( no turning back now
[05:53] <aaronwi> hello
[05:54] <tritium> keev: I believe so, but can't guarantee
[05:54] <powergoal2> unavailable: hahaha
[05:54] <goanookie> End of last week, Windows was kind enough to give me the annual ?Blue Screen of Somehow I Screwed Up My Own Internals I Hope You Weren?t Doing Any Real Important Work Because You?ll Have to Reinstall the Operating System of Death.?
[05:54] <keev> seems to be running smooth but we'll see.
[05:54] <keev> thanks tritium!
[05:54] <tritium> :)
[05:54] <unavailable> powergoal2: they went on to say that a computer infected with windows should always be unplugged from the phone, cable, heck even the a/c wall outlet to be sure no infection spreads
[05:54] <djhash> hey.. in terminal u use  "command >file" but what if I want the output to go to file AND to show up on screen?
[05:54] <doug435> ok i am trying to run the live cd on my toshiba A215 and it wont load becasue it cant decetcd a monitor and i am usin a ATI 94c9 chip
[05:54] <aaronwi> i need help...im in kde...and I did something, not sure what, but now my desktop seems to be extended outside of the monitor viewing range, and i have to move the mouse to an edge and it like scrolls to the edge of the desktop, how do I fix this?
[05:54] <Offline> thanks guys.
[05:54] <Offline> see u soon
[05:55] <powergoal2> unavailable: it would a scary day when windows begins to replicate itself through the internet..
[05:55] <unavailable> rofl
[05:55] <aaronwi> i have a nvidia gforece 8800gts...and am trying to get dual monitors working
[05:55] <unavailable> powergoal2: windows update?
[05:55] <fallore> powergoal2: i think the problem is that my nvidia drivers somehow became undone. do you know of a way to check if they're still installed/reinstall them?
[05:55] <keev> aaronwi, must be nice bro :)
[05:55] <bobertdos> Offline: Yes, it was because of the power loss. When a Windows partition does not unmount properly (or in other words, when Windows crashes), Ubuntu will not mount it because the flag still indicates that the partition is busy.
[05:55] <unavailable> aaronwi: you have compiz installed?
[05:55] <aaronwi> no
[05:55] <powergoal2> fallore: i dont, sorry
[05:55] <aaronwi> keev, would be nice if it would work
[05:56] <powergoal2> unavailable: touche..
[05:56] <doug435> ok i am trying to run the live cd on my toshiba A215 and it wont load becasue it cant decetcd a monitor and i am usin a ATI 94c9 chip and it will not start anyone help me out ?
[05:56] <hypa7ia> hey folks!  which ubuntu installer cd should i use to do an encrypted server install, or alternately to do an encrypted netbook remix install?
[05:56] <aaronwi> unavailable, no compiz...brand new kubuntu install, and no one is alive in the kubuntu channel
[05:56] <Offline> bobertdos: thanks for your info because i was wondering why. i will reboot now and try to fix it.
[05:56] <hypa7ia> and also, is there a netbook remix irc channel anywhere?
[05:57] <bobertdos> Offline: You can work around it sometimes by using the terminal to mount it forcefully.
[05:57] <unavailable> aaronwi try holding random buttons and scrolling in or out
[05:57] <Offline> bobertdos: how??

[05:58] <unavailable> well its late
[05:58] <unavailable> < Yall
[05:58] <bobertdos> Offline: Force mounting generally isn't the best idea, and it doesn't always work, but you go into a terminal and type: sudo mount -f <device path> <mount path>
[05:59] <aaronwi> thanks  powergoal2, but first i need to fix this 'zoomed' in screen
[05:59] <aaronwi> i tried the random buttons and scrolling, no luck
[05:59] <zzl> how do i check whether my hardware is eth0 or ath0??
[05:59] <powergoal2> aaronwi: its zoomed?
[05:59] <doug435> ok i am trying to run the live cd on my toshiba A215 and it wont load becasue it cant decetcd a monitor and i am usin a ATI 94c9 chip and it will not start anyone help me out ?
[05:59] <aaronwi> i dont know whats wrong
[06:00] <hypa7ia> doug435: have you googled that video card + boot options
[06:00] <hypa7ia> that's what i'd suggest
[06:00] <hypa7ia> :)
[06:00] <aaronwi> i saw this hardware icon that let me install 3d nvidia drivers, which i did, and then i tried adjusting the options for the screen, finding a more exact card match etc...and since the reboot it is like zoomed in
[06:00] <hypa7ia> aaronwi: i've seen that, it's that you hit a key combination in compiz... let me find it.  it took me ages to figure out :)
[06:01] <aaronwi> i dont have compiz
[06:01] <aaronwi> or i never installed it anyways
[06:01] <Guest93128> fucking linux confusing as hell!
[06:01] <powergoal2> Guest93128: woah dude,  relax
[06:01] <hypa7ia> Guest93128: i think the same thing about windows every time i use it :)
[06:02] <Guest93128> it hurts my brain!
[06:02] <Guest93128> I want to play starcraft use youtube and use yahoo
[06:02] <aaronwi> o snap...i disabled the 3d nvidia driver and its back to normal...now im just back to dual view with the same output on both monitors
[06:02] <Guest93128> and only got as far as youtube
[06:02] <aaronwi> now how do i get 3d working so I can play some FPS games
[06:02] <aaronwi> on one monitor
[06:03] <fallore> powergoal2: bah! all i had to do was go to my driver manager and enable the nvidia drivers. i feel like a dope but i guess lesson learned
[06:03] <Guest93128> I poo on linux!
[06:03] <hypa7ia> Guest93128: yahoo as in yahoo IM?

[06:03] <hypa7ia> lol
[06:03] <Coma> hi
[06:04] <powergoal2> fallore: hahaha  well, i guess thats the way it works out sometimes
[06:04] <Guest93128> wine works for starcraft but thats the least of my worries
[06:04] <powergoal2> fallore: glad it works ;)
[06:04] <Guest93128> I wanna use yahoo voice chat and my webcam
[06:04] <powergoal2> Guest93128: hm.  im afraid i can't help you with either of those.  im not familiar with the way the programs work or how to get linux to work with them.
[06:04] <aaronwi> so what do i do about 3d graphics?
[06:04] <Guest93128> linux is for smart people!
[06:04] <Coma> no
[06:04] <hypa7ia> Guest93128: yahoo IM will work, but not webcam/voice
[06:05] <hypa7ia> skype works with cam/voice though
[06:05] <fallore> i used to think linux was for everyone, but then it broke during a routine automatic upgrade

[06:06] <AlmightyCthulhu> ?
[06:06] <debCarlos> ari_stress: ext3grep didn't work..... it recover only a few folders but no archives lol
[06:06] <AlmightyCthulhu> you can't figure Ubuntu out?
[06:06] <Guest93128> nope!
[06:06] <Guest93128> it sucks
[06:06] <AlmightyCthulhu> thats bad
[06:07] <powergoal2> aaronwi: it tests to see how fast your video card can render a few gears running in circles
[06:07] <AlmightyCthulhu> no, you do
[06:07] <Guest93128> I need a computer to do 3 things
[06:07] <benzss> suppose i want to convert a .mp4 movie to .avi... how would i go about doing this?
[06:07] <lonejack> hi, when I perform a restart I receive some messages(error or warning) but isn't possible to memorize them, visualization is too fast. Is there a log file where to see them?
[06:07] <Guest93128> starcraft youtube and yahoo voice
[06:07] <aaronwi>  powergoal2: how will that help in enabling 3d?  I know i have a good vid card its a nvidia 8800gts
[06:07] <powergoal2> Guest93128: i think you would have better luck with gentoo...
[06:07] <AlmightyCthulhu> oh dear god

[06:07] <debCarlos> Guest93128: apt/ext/getupdate/*******   lol
[06:08] <AlmightyCthulhu> if he can't even figure Ubuntu out, he'd have no chance in hell with Gentoo
[06:08] <pallu> how can get beryl to work ?
[06:08] <AlmightyCthulhu> Ubuntu is very easy
[06:08] <powergoal2> AlmightyCthulhu: hahaha  perhaps not..  but i love gentoo!
[06:08] <Guest93128> NO ITS NOT!
[06:08] <AlmightyCthulhu> pallu: Beryl merged with Compiz
[06:08] <pajamian> !beryl | pallu
[06:08] <ubot3> pallu: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion.  New Beryl installs are discouraged.  Channel emergency!  OMG!!!" but it's nice to see the ops can bag a real troll sometimes
[06:13] <Madpilot> AlmightyCthulhu, we give people enough rope, then do the obvious with it...
[06:14] <moshe> guest,what is the problem?
[06:14] <aaronwi> well package install errors......but thats unrelated to my initial problem...getting 3d enabled...then extending my desktop to the 2nd monitor
[06:14] <pajamian> aaronwi: you can look up the error message.
[06:14] <aaronwi> ya..i did and just found other people's error logs, which are useless to me
[06:14] <powergoal2> aaronwi: ok, what video card do you have?
[06:14] <hypa7ia> aaronwi: what graphics card?
[06:14] <debCarlos> Guest93128: With Ubuntu you only have to type and install, you don't have to look for the installer, just sudo aptitude install program
[06:14] <hypa7ia> powergoal2: jinx :)
[06:14] <joustin> hmm all i had to do was enable restricted drivers
[06:14] <aaronwi> nvidia 8800gts 320mb
[06:14] <powergoal2> hypa7ia: :)
[06:14] <joustin> apt-get rocks
[06:14] <AlmightyCthulhu> aaronwi: try doing and apt-get clean
[06:14] <powergoal2> aaronwi: so look up "linux nvidia 880gts 3d"
[06:14] <AlmightyCthulhu> that works sometimes
[06:15] <powergoal2> aaronwi: maybe even throw in ubuntu
[06:15] <Guarulhos> :[
[06:15] <lonejack> hi, when I perform a restart I receive some messages(error or warning) but isn't possible to memorize them, visualization is too fast. Is there a log file where to see them?
[06:16] <AlmightyCthulhu> If Linux has a weakness, it's that it won't protect itself from the user
[06:16] <powergoal2> lonejack: dmesg probably
[06:16] <Igramul> lonejack: either dmesg or /var/log/messages
[06:16] <AlmightyCthulhu> I even managed to remove a shared library that RPM needed once
[06:16] <powergoal2> lonejack: run "dmesg|less" in a terminal
[06:16] <Flannel> AlmightyCthulhu: Please take chatter elsewhere, thanks.
[06:16] <aaronwi> so what do i do about the failed package install...i cant remove it either now
[06:16] <powergoal2> lonejack: see what you get in there.  and /var/log/messages will work if you have a syslog installed and running before the error comes up
[06:16] <pajamian> AlmightyCthulhu: that had to be some feat on ubuntu
[06:17] <AlmightyCthulhu> nobody likes a smartass
[06:17] <pajamian> AlmightyCthulhu: ;-)
[06:17] <moshe> thx,powergoal,you beat me to that one
[06:17] <AlmightyCthulhu> as far as that goes however, you can install RPM on Ubuntu
[06:17] <Madpilot> AlmightyCthulhu, you haven't seen someone here ranting about not being allowed to muck around in /, have you? *nix protects itself fairly well...
[06:17] <hypa7ia> so, no-one knows about a netbook remix irc channel?
[06:18] <AlmightyCthulhu> once you prefix a command with sudo, there's no stopping you
[06:18] <moshe> hypa,did you do a channel search?
[06:18] <aaronwi> well google was useless...just discouraged me more, seeing all the problems people are having
[06:18] <powergoal2> sudo is like enableing godmode and noclip in doom.
[06:18] <lonejack> powergoal2: Igramul: thank you
[06:18] <shahalam> hi all
[06:19] <Madpilot> aaronwi, some graphics cards hate Linux. That's true of most hardware - some of it sucks.
[06:19] <AlmightyCthulhu> I was about to answer Madpilot with the command that removes all files and directories recursively without asking
[06:19] <lat> There are 4 sata harddrives on my computer. Three of them usually show up in the /media folder as /media/disk-1 (2 or 3). But if a USB drive is inserted, their disk number may change. This confuses my backup script. Is there a better way to reference these drives?
[06:19] <Flannel> AlmightyCthulhu: You'd be promptly removed
[06:19] <benzss> suppose i want to convert a .mp4 movie to .avi... how would i go about doing this?
[06:19] <aaronwi> yes...but seeing others problems still doesnt help me in the basic install of the cards drivers or getting 3d working
[06:19] <Madpilot> AlmightyCthulhu, writing "that command" in this channel *will* get you booted, just FYI
[06:20] <shahalam> i have a small problem
[06:20] <moshe> lat, to my knowledge the disk renumbering cannot be worked around thru a script
[06:20] <AlmightyCthulhu> I know, and there's always someone stupid enough to copy paste things they don't understand
[06:20] <Igramul> lat: Disklabels might help you
[06:20] <powergoal2> aaronwi: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=72490
[06:20] <powergoal2> aaronwi: that might be useful
[06:20] <moshe> aaronwi,which video board do you have?
[06:20] <wbmj> shahalam:what's the problem
[06:20] <shahalam> my sound quality is effected once i install nvidia driver
[06:21] <shahalam> the videos are corrupt
[06:21] <shahalam> after the installation of nvidia driver
[06:21] <aaronwi> aaronwi: nvidia 8800gts 320mb
[06:21] <shahalam> no nvidia 6150
[06:21] <lat> Igramul, thanks! I'll google Disklabels.
[06:21] <powergoal2> lat: these disks will always have the same name in /dev/, so if you define the mountpoint in /etc/fstab it will be constant
[06:21] <moshe> does envy set up the drivers correctly for you?
[06:22] <Flannel> !envy | moshe
[06:22] <ubot3> moshe: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!!  if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk
[06:22] <shahalam> i use the flashing hardware driver icon
[06:22] <Igramul> lat: no problem - I'm not very familiar with disk labels myself...
[06:22] <shahalam> the restricted driver
[06:22] <Igramul> !disklabels | lat
[06:22] <ubot3> Factoid disklabels not found
[06:22] <moshe> flannel, I was aware of envyng,just trying to assist
[06:22] <Igramul> !disklabel | lat
[06:22] <ubot3> Factoid disklabel not found
[06:22] <AlmightyCthulhu> I suggest using Envy because Ubuntu ships with old drivers that are full of bugs and don't work with new cards
[06:22] <debCarlos> lol
[06:22] <debCarlos> Guest93128: Windows 3.0 will make you kill the computer
[06:23] <debCarlos> aaronwi: It's supposed to mean that dpkg returned error code (1) :)
[06:23] <Flannel> moshe: Don't use envy.  period.
[06:23] <shahalam> ok
[06:23] <debCarlos> I think he did a rm -rf / in his mind (Gues9.... )
[06:23] <debCarlos> AlmightyCthulhu: Apt-get clean will only remove packages in /var/cache/apt/archives
[06:23] <debCarlos> lonejack: Something about the network manager ?
[06:23] <aaronwi> how does that help me, i dont know shit
[06:23] <dzhkh> Hi, I was wondering where I could get the configure and compile time options used to make the standard ubuntu dpkgs?
[06:23] <lat> powergoals, how do I define them?
[06:23] <moshe> I do not use it. I have envyng installed and use it
[06:23] <dzhkh> (I need to compile a slightly modified application and get the binary as close as possible to the one that is installed)
[06:24] <AlmightyCthulhu> the politically correct Ubuntu kick, yay
[06:24] <powergoal2> lat: well, you put in a line: <address> <mountpoint> <filetype> <options>
[06:24] <shahalam> i guess i need legasy drivers
[06:24] <Flannel> AlmightyCthulhu: Please take non-support talk elsewhere, thanks.
[06:24] <powergoal2> lat: and it does what you need it to do based on that
[06:24] <shahalam> may be 9.xx series on nvidia website ?
[06:24] <vipaca> Does anyone know how to export variables for sudo account?
[06:24] <AlmightyCthulhu> legacy drivers are Geforce 5 and lower
[06:24] <shahalam> oh ok
[06:25] <scorch__> be advised, there is a confirmed bug for the -20 kernal in ref to Nvidia
[06:25] <AlmightyCthulhu> Nvidia has to keep Geforce 6 in it's normal driver pack, because all their integrated stuff is Geforce 6 based
[06:25] <lat> powergoals, ok. Many thanks!
[06:25] <shahalam> its a nvidia 6150  on a gigabyte motherboard with 128 mb memory
[06:25] <powergoal2> vipaca: i think that if you export a variable its systemwide, so if you are a root or standard user, the variable is defined the same
[06:25] <shahalam> but iw works fine on suse 11
[06:25] <powergoal2> lat: you're welcome.  also lookup fstab if you need more info
[06:26] <AlmightyCthulhu> shahalam: The Nvidia Linux driver does weird things on integrated Geforces
[06:26] <powergoal2> !fstab | lat
[06:26] <ubot3> lat: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[06:26] <AlmightyCthulhu> you're always better off with a dedicated card, even if it's a cheapie 7300LE or something
[06:26] <shahalam> ok
[06:27] <lat> ubot3, thanks for that link!
[06:27] <ubot3> lat: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)
[06:27] <shahalam> so its better not to install the driver on ubuntu 8.04
[06:27] <shahalam> thx www.real.com
[06:27] <AlmightyCthulhu> shahalam: The open source NV driver is all kinds of bad
[06:27] <shahalam> thanks AlmightyCthulhu
[06:28] <AlmightyCthulhu> if you have Nvidia anything, you want their proprietary drivers
[06:28] <Igramul> lat: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive
[06:28] <shahalam> atleast it plays videos and mp3 properly
[06:28] <Igramul> lat: This should explain all you need.
[06:28] <shahalam> the open source nv driver
[06:28] <AlmightyCthulhu> shahalam: The problems the binary driver has with the integrated Radeon mainly have to do with refresh rates
[06:28] <scorch__> be advised, there is a confirmed bug for the -20 kernal in ref to Nvidia
[06:28] <scorch__> be advised, there is a confirmed bug for the -20 kernal in ref to Nvidia
[06:28] <scorch__> be advised, there is a confirmed bug for the -20 kernal in ref to Nvidia
[06:29] <lat> Igramul, thanks again!
[06:29] <FloodBot1> scorch__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:29] <AlmightyCthulhu> the NV driver that Ubuntu ships with is 2d only, doesn't even accelerate that very well, and usually won't suspend or resume right
[06:30] <pallu> hello how can i check if compiz is going to work?
[06:30] <AlmightyCthulhu> turn it on?
[06:30] <powergoal2> haha  yep
[06:31] <FAJALOU> HELP i used this url: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=89491   as a reference as to which processes to turn off in BUM but now i cannot access the repos at all!!!  What can i do?
[06:31] <bazhang> pallu, what video card do you have (model and number)
[06:32] <Ontolog> I got sound working for Flash on my machine however sometimes the sound still cuts out. Restarting FF doesn't restore sound in Flash. Anyone know about this?
[06:32] <aaronwi> ok so i found the nivida generic x64 driver...im trying to install it and it says im running an x server....and that i should close it....whats an x server and how do i close it?
[06:32] <pallu> intet i810
[06:32] <AlmightyCthulhu> pallu: I wouldn't recommend Compiz if you play video games
[06:32] <vipaca> I have the problem that when I setup http_proxy
[06:32] <AlmightyCthulhu> it massively kills your framerate
[06:32] <vipaca> it will work for wget but not for apt-get
[06:32] <pallu> i just want to try it
[06:32] <bazhang> pallu, that will be able to do compiz, though not all the fancy effects such as fire without difficulty
[06:33] <Overand> I need to do some regex/sed/tr-fu
[06:33] <regeya> aye, but you can disable the compositor
[06:33] <AlmightyCthulhu> OpenSolaris has the best default Compiz settings I've ever seen
[06:33] <Overand> I have a bnch of lines ending with "each:" and a newline, and a bunch of lines ending with a newline after a filename
[06:33] <regeya> you can have your cake, and eat it too...just remember to disable compositing before firing up a game
[06:33] <Overand> I need to yank the newlines after the "each:" but not the other ones
[06:33] <regeya> my own experience is that I certainly don't notice a drop...on this machine. :->  my old machine, though, was horrible.
[06:34] <debCarlo1> What's yank ?
[06:34] <bazhang> delete
[06:35] <debCarlo1> ok
[06:35] <Overand> debCarlo1: as in sed "s/each:\n/each: /"
[06:35] <Overand> except sed won't do that, becase it's "line-based"
[06:35] <debCarlo1> Yeah, i thinked about sed too
[06:35] <powergoal2> Overand: sed -e '/each:$/N;s/\n *//'
[06:36] <Overand> ah!
[06:36] <dzhkh> who creates the packages for ubuntu?
[06:36] <powergoal2> Overand: i think that will work, but im not sure
[06:36] <SNuxoll> !motu | dzhkh
[06:36] <ubot3> dzhkh: motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU
[06:36] <pallu> Desktop effects could not be enabled
[06:36] <Overand> powergoal2: it seems to be 100% perfect
[06:37] <powergoal2> Overand: superb
[06:37] <bazhang> pallu, where did you get this message
[06:37] <bullgard4> What is the function of the directory /usr/share/hotkey-setup? What programs do use it?
[06:37] <powergoal2> bullgard4: there is likely a program called hotkey-setup
[06:37] <ari_stress> !dash
[06:37] <ubot3> /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in all releases since Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to « #! /bin/bash
[06:38] <debCarlo1> !hotkey-setup
[06:38] <ubot3> Factoid hotkey-setup not found
[06:38] <Flannel> !mediakeys
[06:38] <ubot3> Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts
[06:38] <pallu> Visual Effects tab on appearence
[06:39] <ari_stress> ubot3: why dash? why not bash?
[06:39] <ubot3> why: A software verification tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.04.dfsg-3 (hardy), package size 4383 kB, installed size 11544 kB
[06:39] <bazhang> pallu, you should ask in #compiz-fusion about that card
[06:39] <debCarlo1> lol
[06:39] <wbmj> ari_stress dash is faster than bash
[06:40] <sexcopter> hi, quick silly question: what is meant by 8.04.01, i.e., what does the .01 (or +1) signify?
[06:40] <debCarlo1> yeah
[06:40] <debCarlo1> Good question
[06:40] <wbmj> sexcopter: security updates
[06:40] <Flannel> sexcopter: 8.04.1 is the first point release, it has updated packages and updated installer
[06:40] <crdlb> sexcopter: it's 8.04.1, but it's just a new image made about a month after release
[06:41] <j-UBNET> hey guys, sorta new on here.. who knows how to get onto the azureus server?
[06:41] <bullgard4> powergoal2: Yes, there is. --  Thank you very much for your help.
[06:41] <crdlb> so that you can avoid some of the updates when doing installs from the CD
[06:41] <Flannel> sexcopter: If you install 8.04 and then update from the repos, you'll get to 8.04.1 (and in a few months, 8.04.2)
[06:41] <powergoal2> bullgard4: you're welcome
[06:41] <ari_stress> hi debCarlo1, have u managed to undelete your /home
[06:41] <bazhang> pallu, the intel i810 should be able to do compiz; got it going here a while back
[06:41] <debCarlo1> ari_stress: no lol
[06:41] <debCarlo1> ari_stress: I gived up
[06:41] <debCarlo1> ari_stress: ext3grep did a lot of work
[06:41] <powergoal2> debCarlo1: you deleted /home ?!
[06:41] <dextone> http://www.transavia.co.id/ <= sapa mau pesen tiket pesawat gratis :P
[06:42] <debCarlo1> ari_stress: But only recovered folders, no files
[06:42] <Dedoimedo> hello all, i'm here to help, does anyone need help??
[06:42] <powergoal2> debCarlo1: i have a better one for you:  2 years ago i accidentally formatted the wrong partition of my hd, losing 300GB of movies/music/etc.
[06:42] <dextone> wtf... allnet... sorry guyz...
[06:42] <Martyn> What is the Ubuntu command-line utility to download security updates?
[06:42] <dzhkh> i have read motu but still cannot find the commands used to create particular packages
[06:42] <Martyn> (I'm running ubuntu server, so can't run synaptic)
[06:42] <debCarlo1> powergoal2: No, yesterday i was helping someone and for some reason i was going to erase files on my pendrive and did a mistake... executing rm -rf *  in my ~/
[06:42] <Flannel> Martyn: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:43] <powergoal2> debCarlo1: yeah, that sucks.
[06:43] <Flannel> debCarlo1: please don't say anything that resembles that command here.
[06:43] <debCarlo1> powergoal2: lol, but i think you can recover a partition right ?
[06:43] <ari_stress> debCarlo1: i have another link that is very good: http://www.osnews.com/story/20061/Recover_Deleted_Files_in_EXT3_ext3undel
[06:43] <Martyn> ahhh .. dist-upgrade is used for security updates as -well- as general package updates
[06:43] <sexcopter> to Flannel and crdlb, thanks for the answer. so is there a schedule/rhythm to these point releases? or just when it seems appropriate?
[06:43] <powergoal2> debCarlo1: well, you usually can, but the way that i had done it,  i changed the partition type from ext3 to reiserfs, and i couldn't find anything about recovering that
[06:43] <debCarlo1> Flannel: Ok
[06:43] <Flannel> Martyn: Yeah, they all come through the repos
[06:43] <Martyn> Is there a way to /only/ get the security updates?
[06:44] <Flannel> sexcopter: They occur on LTSs, every six months, with an offset of three months from the initial release.
[06:44] <debCarlo1> powergoal2: Yeah.... and you know the worst, my backup was in the usb drive i formatted just a minutes before deleting home
[06:44] <vipaca> http://pastie.org/252061
[06:44] <Madpilot> sexcopter, security updates are released as security issues are found
[06:44] <vipaca> just doesn't make sense to me
[06:45] <vipaca> I guess Ill be installing everything from source?
[06:45] <powergoal2> debCarlo1: ouch...
[06:45] <vipaca> or from debs that I can get a hold of
[06:45] <debCarlo1> ari_stress: Seems like that link will help me, thanks :D
[06:45] <Flannel> sexcopter: so, every july and january
[06:46] <asdf25> i'm using firefox 3 in hardy and i can't get the session restore to work - when i restart firefox it always just opens the ubuntu start page - anyone know how i can get it working?
[06:46] <debCarlo1> powergoal2: lol, yeah. But i only lost one week, i had a old backup in Vista
[06:46] <Flannel> vipaca: What version of Ubuntu are you using? and are you connected to the internet?
[06:46] <sexcopter> Flannel: i see, thanks, I was just curious!
[06:46] <powergoal2> vipaca: did you mess up your apt sources file?
[06:46] <vipaca> herion
[06:46] <powergoal2> debCarlo1: ok, that isn't too bad the
[06:46] <powergoal2> n
[06:46] <debCarlo1> powergoal2: yep,
[06:47] <vipaca> I don't think so, I am behind a firewall perhaps I may have
[06:47] <Flannel> vipaca: sudo apt-get update first, then try again
[06:47] <cragos> is anyone else seeing bad keys on the security.ubuntu.org server?
[06:47] <cragos> took me three tries to get a good key
[06:47] <cragos> kaminsky to blame?
[06:47] <p4_xxx> can someone tell me if im correct about this setting for my ubuntu server? i use it just for share files at home i dont know much about servers     http://paste.ubuntu.com/37050/
[06:48] <vipaca> its sitting at 0%
[06:48] <yadame> Hi there! I'm trying to play some videos with mplayer but I'm not able to get the "xv" (X11/xv) driver to work. (gl works but the performance is bad). "xvinfo" tells me "no adaptors present". I'm using a Radeon X1600 with fglrx.
[06:48] <debCarlo1> Now i formatted my usb drive and write a script to make a backup every day lol
[06:48] <Flannel> vipaca: then you're having connection issues
[06:48] <vipaca> Im using http_proxy
[06:48] <Flannel> vipaca: either on your end, or the mirror's
[06:48] <vipaca> which works for wget
[06:49] <vipaca> but its seems to not work so well with apt-get or aptitude
[06:49] <powergoal2> yadame: you might try editing your ~/.mplayer/config file and putting in a line that says vo=gl2
[06:49] <powergoal2> yadame: see if it improves your output
[06:49] <balgarath> any applications out there you can use to generate a mySQL schema diagram from an existing db?
[06:49] <yadame> powergoal2: Already tried gl2, too and the performance is even worser. But thanks for the tip!
[06:50] <powergoal2> yadame: and you cant get xv to work?
[06:50] <yadame> powergoal2: Yep, mplayer complains about the missing video output. the xv-extension is loaded during the xorg-startup but xvinfo is telling me "no adaptors present".
[06:51] <powergoal2> yadame: hahaha  i tried to pass vo xv to my mplayer and it crashed my xserver
[06:51] <yadame> powergoal2: uh :(
[06:51] <unop> p4_xxx, the rules on lines 13-15 are redundant otherwise, it's fine
[06:51] <powergoal2> yadame: i don't really know what to tell you, sorry
[06:52] <yadame> powergoal2: no problem, thank you for your time =)
[06:52] <powergoal2> good luck
[06:52] <powergoal2> alright all, I'm out.
[06:52] <hsteve> hi how do i check for what bit system i have 32/64
[06:52] <p4_xxx> is the mac addresss used for security?
[06:52] <infinitycircuit> hsteve, uname -m
[06:52] <hsteve> thanks
[06:52] <unop> hsteve, dpkg --print-architecture
[06:53] <unop> p4_xxx, not primarily, though it can be used in security
[06:53] <infinitycircuit> unop, that's a nice trick good to know dpkg can do it too
[06:53] <hsteve> i686 is which 32 or 64
[06:53] <infinitycircuit> hsteve, 32
[06:53] <debCarlo1> Ok, i'm going to try the ext3undel thing ari_stress
[06:53] <unop> hsteve, 32
[06:54] <hsteve> k
[06:54] <MrZaius> it just took me three tries to get a valid apt-get update
[06:54] <MrZaius> yayz shitty third world ISPs and their transparent proxies
[06:54] <p4_xxx> ah ok thank you
[06:54] <unop> infinitycircuit, yea, there's a whole load of useful things you can do with all the dpkg* and apt* utilities
[06:54] <MrZaius> are there reported cases of DNS cache poisoning attacks targetting debian/ubuntu repos?
[06:55] <vipaca> http://pastie.org/252063
[06:55] <vipaca> kinda ironic that at the end it suggest that perform the command that just failed
[06:55] <vipaca> maybe I should open a case seems like a bug
[06:55] <infinitycircuit> unop, i must say my favorite part of dpkg/apt is probably intregration with stuff like git-buildpackage
[06:56] <Madpilot> MrZaius, not that I've ever heard. That sort of thing would be big news in linux, we need our trusted repos!
[06:56] <nasi_padang> why can't i use debian repo?
[06:57] <Madpilot> because Ubuntu isn't Debian?
[06:57] <vipaca> Are there any good deb sites like dag for rpm or can I goto the ubuntu sites directly
[06:57] <nasi_padang> it ubuntu is debian derivative
[06:58] <unop> nasi_padang, yes
[06:58] <unop> vipaca, packages.ubuntu.com
[06:58] <nasi_padang> unop, 'yes' what?
[06:58] <Madpilot> nasi_padang, "derivative" is the key word there
[06:59] <unop> nasi_padang, yes, ubuntu is a debian derivative .. but it is not debian
[06:59] <Madpilot> ubot3, debian | nasi_padang
[06:59] <ubot3> nasi_padang: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu!
[07:00] <nasi_padang> why can mepis use debian repo?
[07:00] <CutMeOwnThroat> nasi_padang, on the other hand, you could just try and find out about all the fun things that can go wrong 1st hand...
[07:00] <CutMeOwnThroat> and that's cuttin your own throat :-P
[07:01] <nasi_padang> :-?
[07:01] <CutMeOwnThroat> :~}
[07:02] <bader_> hi
[07:02] <mrtubby> does anyone know if there is a way to make a bash script run as root without needing to enter a password?
[07:02] <bader_> can i get some help here please :>
[07:02] <Madpilot> CutMeOwnThroat, would your last name be Dibbler, by any chance?
[07:02] <mrtubby> whats your question bader
[07:02] <CutMeOwnThroat> mrtubby, cron
[07:02] <bader_> will i cant read arabic front in xchat
[07:03] <CutMeOwnThroat> Madpilot, yes, want a rat onna stick?
[07:03] <mrtubby> you cant make cron exec on command, its a timed thing always correct?
[07:03] <fallore> is there a way to make it so that when you click for example the firefox address bar once the whole line will be highlighted (like in windows)?
[07:03] <Madpilot> CutMeOwnThroat, no thanks, and I'll pass on a meat pie, too...
[07:03] <unop> fallore, ctrl+l :)
[07:04] <Igramul> fallore: or tripple-click ;)
[07:04] <fallore> unop: yeah i've gotten used to it but it would be nice if i didn't have to shortcut around it
[07:04] <bader_> will i try to set arabic in setting
[07:04] <bader_> doesnt work
[07:04] <fallore> or click + ctrl a, or double click, etc
[07:04] <fallore> i know there are other ways to do it :P
[07:04] <CutMeOwnThroat> mrtubby, oh, you want someone to call it and it runs as root? just set the suid-bit - but take care, it can easily be a barn-door with a sign "hackers enter here"
[07:04] <dfgas> anyone run a q6600
[07:04] <unop> CutMeOwnThroat, the setuid bit has no effect on scripts
[07:05] <CutMeOwnThroat> unop, definitely not true for perl
[07:05] <unop> CutMeOwnThroat, even for perl
[07:05] <mrtubby> CutMeOwnThroad: yea, it makes me nervous, soo a chmod 4500 ought to get the thing done
[07:05] <unop> mrtubby, it won't
[07:06] <debCarlos> ari_stress: lol, it is working :')
[07:06] <bader_> so does xchat have arabic support ?
[07:06] <bader_> i mean it really suck that i cant read arabic
[07:06] <CutMeOwnThroat> unop, wrong suidperl takes care of it if the bit itself doesnt have an effect
[07:06] <unop> bader_, you might like to ask someone in #ubuntu-sa
[07:07] <CutMeOwnThroat> unop, but you're right for bash scripts... wasn't aware this was switched on
[07:08] <AlmtyBob> Is there a nice guide somewhere for using Compiz with Ubuntu (I have an nVidia card and am just installing Ubuntu)
[07:09] <mrtubby> if i managed to follow the conversation properly it would work if my script was in perl not bash?
[07:09] <guest_> ce_uculd
[07:10] <bader_> its funny that i enter this server and i can read arabic . but when i enter other server i cant
[07:10] <bader_> lol what happen
[07:10] <bader_> ^^
[07:10] <unop> CutMeOwnThroat, try it out.  echo -e '#!/usr/bin/perl \n print "$>"' \n print `whoami`' > /tmp/setuid_test;  sudo chown root.root /tmp/setuid_test; sudo chmod +sx /tmp/setuid_test; /tmp/setuid_test
[07:11] <CutMeOwnThroat> unop, hm - I have a script "sd" on my laptop that lets a normal user execute "shutdown -hf now" as root ...
[07:11] <CutMeOwnThroat> so how did I do that? magic?
[07:11] <Igramul> btw. it says "please type /msg ubottu etiquette" in the topic, but the bot seems to have a different nick
[07:12] <hardhatpat> I am trying to install GTK themes through the System->Appearance ... when i click install and select the tarball, it says "successfully installed" and then it dosent show up anywhere ... what am i doing wrong?
[07:12] <aaronwi> is tehre a way to enable a second monitor as an extended desktop in xorg.conf?
[07:12] <debCarlos> Igramul: Yeah, ubottu is dead for a while, try with ubot3
[07:12] <CutMeOwnThroat> unop, might not be possible to run suid-stuff from /tmp, , though
[07:13] <matthew__> I'm attempting to use my built-in webcam on my laptop, and I can't find any generic drivers for webcams, and I don't know where to look, any1 got any ideas?
[07:13] <Flannel> Igramul: ubottu has the evening off
[07:13] <unop> CutMeOwnThroat, well, if the perl 'executable'  (note, i don't say script) - uses a setreuid call, then the setuid bit has effect .. but perl cheats then .. it's making a system call which is not the norm for scripts
[07:13] <ere4si> !twinview | aaronwi
[07:13] <ubot3> aaronwi: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead
[07:13] <debCarlos> matthew__: Have you tried with cheese (aptitude install cheese) ?
[07:15] <Igramul> Flannel: Will new factoids be transferred from ubot3 to ubottu?
[07:15] <CutMeOwnThroat> unop, fixing up your script takes longer than writing one myself :)
[07:15] <unop> CutMeOwnThroat, my script is two lines long :)
[07:16] <CutMeOwnThroat> unop, that's why - there was an additional "'" in the line that was hard to find
[07:17] <Flannel> Igramul: That'd depend on whether we remember.  But I imagine so.
[07:18] <CutMeOwnThroat> unop, add $ENV{PATH}='/usr/bin/'; as 1st line to the script
[07:18] <CutMeOwnThroat> $ ls -l setuid_test
[07:18] <CutMeOwnThroat> -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 70 Aug 13 01:17 setuid_test
[07:19] <CutMeOwnThroat> $ ./setuid_test
[07:19] <CutMeOwnThroat> 0root
[07:19] <CutMeOwnThroat> unop, so why did *I* have to try this? I knew I was right
[07:20]  * jetscreamer doesn't look around in response to CutMeOwnThroat
[07:20] <jetscreamer> ...
[07:20] <CutMeOwnThroat> mrtubby, yes, but your perlscript has to fulfill additional security-requirements
[07:20] <CutMeOwnThroat> jetscreamer?
[07:20] <jetscreamer> nm
[07:20] <CutMeOwnThroat> want a sausage inna bun?
[07:21] <jetscreamer> hey we like our sausage on the grill
[07:21] <CutMeOwnThroat> or do you wonder why I'm here?
[07:21] <jetscreamer> no i was just thinking of an answer to your question of 'why'
[07:22] <elwaywitvac> has anyone backed up an original xbox memory card without that damn proprietary windows software?
[07:23] <debCarlos> !xbox

[07:23] <unop> CutMeOwnThroat,  heh.  Can't do setuid (cannot exec sperl)
[07:23] <basanta> any tool to check ip conflict?
[07:23] <debCarlos> You don't know what's a xbpx ubot* ??
[07:24] <elwaywitvac> and heaven forbid I try to get an answer so I can turn the damn thing into a xubuntu softclient
[07:24] <elwaywitvac> *thinclient
[07:24] <ibrahim> /etc/acpi/fglrx-powermode.sh is missing from package ubuntu repos, can you please someone send content of that file , I will create manually..
[07:24] <CutMeOwnThroat> unop, pft, your buggy perl is not my problem :)
[07:25] <debCarlos> lol
[07:25] <tv7497> guys i have forgot mysql password how do i change it anyone ?
[07:26] <unop> CutMeOwnThroat, you make an assumption that everyone has perl-suid installed :)
[07:26] <CutMeOwnThroat> unop, as they should
[07:27] <debCarlos> why?
[07:27] <debCarlos> yeah
[07:27] <debCarlos> ubottu is back
[07:27] <unop> CutMeOwnThroat, i'll beg to differ
[07:27] <Igramul> tv7497: http://www.tech-faq.com/reset-mysql-password.shtml

[07:28] <tomoyuki28jp> I want to change the value of $SBCL_HOME (env var for lisp compiler), but I don't know where the value is set.  Can anybody teach me how to change the value?  I know I can change it with export command, but I want to change the value for any user and for good.
[07:29] <unop> tomoyuki28jp, export SBCL_HOME="foo"
[07:30] <xim> are there any decent graphical ftp (specfically scp) clients for ubuntu?
[07:30] <node357> xim, gftp is nice
[07:30] <debCarlos> xim: filezilla ?
[07:30] <tomoyuki28jp> unop: When I logoff from the current session, the value set back to the previous one.
[07:31] <Igramul> xim: Places -> "Connect to server..."
[07:31] <unop> tomoyuki28jp, you might want to put this line down in one of ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc
[07:31] <jussi01> !ftp | xim
[07:31] <xim> Igramul: thanx that worked awsome
[07:32] <tomoyuki28jp> unop: I want to set the var for all the users on my PC.
[07:32] <matthew__> exit
[07:32] <unop> tomoyuki28jp, then set it in /etc/profile or /etc/bash.bashrc
[07:35] <tomoyuki28jp> unop:  The value is set by a script somewhere everytime I boot my PC, right?  Is there a way to find out where the var is set??
[07:36] <unop> tomoyuki28jp, it might not be set .. what makes you think it is?
[07:37] <AlmtyBob> for setting up a late-model nVidia card (7950 I think) I should use the restricted binary driver?
[07:37] <AlmtyBob> the one from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia?
[07:37] <tomoyuki28jp> unop: If the value is not set by a script, how the value is set??  I am not familiar with env vars...

[07:39] <pawan> i installed that
[07:39] <pawan> giving up
[07:39] <bazhang> pawan, then what is the error you are getting; please be precise
[07:39] <foool> How do I find the owner and group of the webserver
[07:40] <bazhang> hello tv7497
[07:40] <Rat409> AlmtyBob: my laptop has a 7150M i had to use envy-ng.but mileage does vary
[07:40] <unop> tomoyuki28jp, the list interpreter might set this var on invocation .. the env.var might not necessarily be set in some config file .. usually env.vars are set in one of these files .. /etc/profile, /etc/bash*, ~/.bash*, ~/.profile .. so you could grep these files
[07:40] <pawan> pawan@pawan-desktop:~$ audacious

[07:41] <debCarlos> ozzie212: Switch to tty1 and try to login in console :)
[07:41] <bazhang> pawan, try a different mp3
[07:41] <debCarlos> ctrl+alt+f1
[07:42] <ozzie212> I tried that it doesn't help. I am able to drop to shell mode. I type get-apt update and comes up with all kinds of errors
[07:42] <rocko> how do you see if your nxserver is running ?
[07:43] <pawan> still the same problem
[07:43] <debCarlos> ozzie212: So, in console mode try running this: sudo adduser test     and then try to login with test user
[07:43] <Rat409> rocko: try netstat -a or ps aux
[07:43] <bazhang> pawan, what other codecs do you have installed
[07:43] <pawan> any other audio output plugins
[07:43] <pawan> w32codecs
[07:44] <bazhang> pawan, try in a different music app first
[07:44] <ozzie212> the errors I get come up fast but they mostly say something about using older files
[07:44] <ozzie212> I'll try that thank you debCArlos
[07:44] <pawan> in every application a song plays for some time and then hangs
[07:44] <pawan> tried amarok banshee audacious
[07:45] <bazhang> pawan, is this a dual boot
[07:45] <pawan> yes
[07:45] <pawan> windows vista and ubuntu
[07:45] <bazhang> pawan, where are the mp3's stored
[07:45] <pawan> on vista drive
[07:45] <pawan> i am accessing them from ubuntu
[07:46] <bazhang> pawan, try copying some over to ubuntu partition and try again
[07:47] <rocko> Rat409: i ran that command but what do i have to look at to know its running ? :S
[07:48] <pawan> tried that too but still hangs
[07:48] <J-_> How can I reconfigure my sound system?
[07:48] <bazhang> pawan, just now?
[07:48] <pawan> yes
[07:48] <bazhang> pawan, how many mp3's did you copy over.

[08:00] <ross> how do i set up triple boot on my macbook (linux/xp/ubuntu)
[08:00] <bronger> With "sudo aptitude", the borders of the menues are okay, however, the borders of pop-up windows consist of ASCII characters.  Is this a bug or a wrong configuration?
[08:00] <salmon> jussi01: which would you prefer. im kinda new to ubuntu
[08:00] <DistroJockey> warriorforgod, the UUID of your swap partition probably changed.  Fix it in   /etc/fstab
[08:00] <bazhang> tv7497, did you miss the link upthread?
[08:00] <ross> and would you recommend ubuntu for macbook?
[08:00] <bazhang> ross, sure
[08:00] <tv7497> bazhang: sir ?
[08:00] <bazhang> !macbook
[08:00] <warriorforgod> DistroJockey: How can I get the correct UUID for my swap partition?
[08:01] <ross> what is the best linux distro to install on macbooks?
[08:01] <prince_jammys> warriorforgod: blkid
[08:01] <DistroJockey> warriorforgod, you could use   sudo blkid
[08:01] <tv7497> bazhang: i didnt get what u told sir
[08:02] <bazhang> ross see the link above
[08:02] <chmac> Can anyone recommend a slightly more powerful alternative to Firestarter? I want to configure iptables a little more carefully.
[08:02] <ozzie212> any help I am UNABLE to login with set username and password. just reboots/refreshes to login screen. I am able to login to either failsafe. I also tried to create a "sudo adduser test". Adding user worked with SAME results
[08:02] <ross> bazhang: what about the regular macbooks?
[08:02] <ross> bazhang: does triple boot work in regular macbooks?
[08:03] <bazhang> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/reset-the-root-password-on-mysql.html tv7497
[08:03] <prince_jammys> ozzie212: so you couldn't even log in as the new
[08:03] <ozzie212> I extremly new to ubuntu and don't know any codes myself. Puter is set with a dual boot with XP on the MBR
[08:03] <bazhang> ross the intel ones? sure.
[08:03] <prince_jammys> ozzie212: so you couldn't even log in as the new test user?
[08:03] <ozzie212> no I could not
[08:04] <prince_jammys> ozzie212: any error messages?
[08:04] <ozzie212> no just reboots to login screen
[08:05] <ozzie212> I also ran the recovery bootup with no errors but same results
[08:05] <prince_jammys> ozzie212: is the login screen a graphical login screen, or the console login?
[08:06] <ozzie212> graphical
[08:06] <prince_jammys> perhaps X logged some kind of errors that you could look at
[08:07] <QAH> Hello. Anyone there?
[08:07] <debCarlos> !anyone | QAH
[08:07] <ozzie212> I dropped to shell and typed get-apt update and came up with all kinds of errors like using old files.  ??
[08:07] <QAH> Ha ha Okay
[08:08] <ross> bazhang: so you think that i'd have no problem setting up triple boot on my macbook black?
[08:08] <debCarlos> yeah
[08:08] <ross> bazhang: the black one
[08:08] <bazhang> ross, depends on you; many have done so, but not sure how you'll do :)
[08:08] <ross> bazhang: lol ok
[08:09] <QAH> I have windows as my main os, and I have ubuntu as a multiboot option. Everytime I start up in ubuntu and come back to windows, my windows time is messed up. I had looked it up and they said that you have to configure ubuntu to work with the time format that windows supports. How to I do this?
[08:09] <bazhang> :)
[08:09] <ozzie212> I don't understand using old files error. I'm using an official Ubuntu cd that came from the Netherlands
[08:09] <ross> bazhang: i just googled for it and i found that most people set up triple boot on macbook pros and not the regular ones
[08:09] <sexcopter> i've had trouble now in 2 out of 2 cases of trying to install 3rd party software by adding repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list. I add the provided gpg keys, seemingly with no trouble, do apt-get update, then install the package, but get the "cannot be authenticated" warning. Any idea what i might have missed? what can I do to diagnose the problem?
[08:09] <Slart> QAH: windows and linux uses the internal clock differently
[08:09] <ross> bazhang: that's why i wanted to know if triple boot is something that will be workable under the regular macbooks
[08:09] <bazhang> ross people do both
[08:10] <prince_jammys> ozzie212: are you currently logged in to a ubuntu console session?
[08:10] <QAH> Slart: You are right because ubuntu changes my system time. How can I stop this if I can.
[08:10] <Slart> QAH: I think linux keeps the clock at greenwich time and calculates local time when it needs it.. windows sets the internal clock to local time directly
[08:10] <ross> bazhang: ok thanks
[08:10] <ozzie212> no xp using icechat
[08:10] <bazhang> np
[08:10] <ozzie212> can I login to ubuntu using failsafe and still use irc
[08:10] <Slart> QAH: I don't really know if there is a switch somewhere.. you could just set both operating systems to update the clock using ntp.. that way it will fix itself shortly after booting
[08:11] <QAH> oh okay
[08:11] <prince_jammys> ozzie212: you can, but it may be a pain if you're not familiar with irc on the console.
[08:11] <Nemoder> Is there a standard way to see what configure options a package maintainer uses for a given source package?
[08:11] <QAH> So there isn't any way to make ubuntu use local time?
[08:11] <prince_jammys> ozzie212: you can pastebin log files from there though, and chat on your XP
[08:11] <Flannel> QAH: there is.
[08:11] <QAH> How?
[08:11] <ozzie212> how do I pastebin
[08:12] <infinitycircuit> !pastebin | ozzie212
[08:12] <prince_jammys> ozzie212: the problem seems to have to do with X, since you can login to console.  an easy way to pastebin will be to install the 'pastebinit' package when logged into ubuntu
[08:12] <prince_jammys> ozzie212: i can tell you how to install it and how to pastebin some log files from there, without using irc
[08:13] <ozzie212> all right I'll give that a shot prince-jammys
[08:13] <aaronwi> can i install a rpm in ubuntu? and how do it?

[08:14] <Flannel> QAH: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime#Multiple%20Boot%20Systems%20Time%20Conflicts

[08:14] <debCarlos> !alien
[08:14] <debCarlos> !rpm
[08:14] <aaronwi> is rpm only for redhat, or do they work in mandriva too?
[08:15] <QAH> That is just what I need. Thanks guys. :) Later
[08:15] <debCarlos> aaronwi: They work in mandriva, rh, fedora, opensuse... etc, they are like apt for us

[08:35] <bazhang> MaahesAFK, does not say the wifi chipset though
[08:35] <MaahesAFK> im trying to decide if i should install ubuntu over my vista
[08:36] <MaahesAFK> but i dont wanna do it if it will have driver problems
[08:36] <bazhang> MaahesAFK, you have the machine already?
[08:36] <MaahesAFK> yes
[08:36] <MaahesAFK> it came with vista :S
[08:36] <MaahesAFK> i dun liek it
[08:37] <bazhang> MaahesAFK, dl the live cd and troubleshoot from there, preferably with ethernet connection so you can get here
[08:37] <MaahesAFK> they dont give you a vista cd so if i put linux... i wont be able to go back too easily
[08:37] <bazhang> MaahesAFK, thus the reason to run from livecd
[08:37] <MaahesAFK> ahh i see :)
[08:37] <bazhang> :)
[08:38] <MaahesAFK> anything in particular i should look for when i try live cd?
[08:38] <bazhang> MaahesAFK, yes, the video and the wifi
[08:39] <MaahesAFK> ok, if i made a cd a few months ago, will it update to latest release or do i need a new cd
[08:39] <bazhang> MaahesAFK, get the latest: 8.04.1
[08:40] <Chris|> MaahesAFK, it would be way easier if you download the latest cd
[08:40] <MaahesAFK> ok perfect thanks bazhang and chris
[08:40] <bazhang> np :)
[08:41] <mrynit> the fan on my dell inspiron 1420 does not work correctly. it only turns on when the laptop is really hot and will not turn off.
[08:44] <frybye> Hi - trying to use hubackup from an eepc.. i hvae a shared folder from another pc on the home net mounted and shows up on the desktop of the eepc - but hubackup does not offer it as a location for the backups??
[08:45] <frybye> How can i navigate to network-the other pc via the menus in hubackup??
[08:46] <frybye> it gives access to the "filessystem" but where does one find networked directories in there?? <sorry - i am a linux-newbie>
[08:46] <shabda> What do i need to set up on Ubuntu so that python smtplib.py works?
[08:46] <shabda> I installed sendmail, what should I do next?
[08:46] <mrynit> shabda, install the python libraries that you need
[08:47] <DistroJockey> frybye, use    mount    to see what is mounted where
[08:47] <frybye> ok thanks...
[08:47] <DistroJockey> frybye, will usually be in   /mnt   or   /media
[08:47] <Chris|> does anyone know how i can look up how to fix this error? (i'm making a livecd) http://i35.tinypic.com/2v3g3fo.jpg
[08:47] <DistroJockey> frybye, no problem
[08:47] <shabda> mrynit: The libs are already installed in python standard library, http://docs.python.org/lib/module-smtplib.html
[08:48] <shabda> How do I configure Python to use sendmail?
[08:48] <mrynit> point the application to that directory?
[08:48] <mrynit> ask in python?
[08:49] <frybye> DistroJockey: I see nothing in that about the other pc/dir??
[08:49] <Ademan> anyone know how i can mount bin/cue disk images?
[08:49] <Matt____> a while ago I asked about mounting a network drive (from OS X) so that it looks like a directory on ubuntu
[08:49] <frybye> the icon for it is on my desktop - but when I look in the hubackup there the entry is not shown..
[08:49] <Matt____> someone helped me out but I can't for the life of me remember what the command was
[08:49] <Matt____> something with "ftp" in it I think
[08:50] <DistroJockey> frybye, can you check the Properties of that icon and see where it points to?
[08:50] <frybye> thanks...
[08:50] <Chris|> Matt____, the command should still be in your bash history in the terminal type "history"
[08:50] <Matt____> Chris|: lemme try but I think this is a different virtual machine
[08:51] <chuy_max> hey guys, is there a command to increase/decrease volume running a command?
[08:51] <Chris|> Matt____, ah, do the history command on the machine you did the command on
[08:51] <Matt____> yeah, not there
[08:51] <Matt____> I guess I'll launch the other VM
[08:51] <Matt____> I feel senile for not remembering this
[08:51] <nacer__> increase lvm volume?
[08:51] <Matt____> problem is I only did it once like 2 months ago
[08:52] <Chris|> chuy_max, yes "amixer -q set Master 10+ unmute" for volume up and "amixer -q set Master 10- unmute"
[08:52] <Chris|> for volume down
[08:52] <chuy_max> cool, thanks Chris|
[08:53] <frybye> DistroJockey: - strange - it says for location -in words(!) "on the Desktop" - not something like /home/ron/Desktop - just the words (in German here..) "on the Desktop" under access rights - "cannot be determined"
[08:53] <pawan> hi
[08:54] <frybye> DistroJockey: btw - I am a Brit. living in Germany and generally better here than in #unbutu-de
[08:54] <g[r]eek> I need to setup IE in ubuntu
[08:54] <ozzie212> prince jammy's I am completely lost here.
[08:54] <DistroJockey> frybye, yeah, wasn't sure if that was possible. I'm attempting to get a similar icon
[08:55] <frybye> I guess within the "file system" mounted directories on networked pcs show up someplace within the structure.. where would that be???
[08:55] <ozzie212> Can you give me those instructions again. I tried to get to paste bin but not even going to pretend to know anything aobut it
[08:55] <frybye> like at /usr/bin/ etc etc.. is there a location where I can expect to find a munted external home net dir?
[08:56] <prince_jammys> ozzie212: you're back
[08:56] <prince_jammys> ozzie212: i thought your windows xp was on a separate computer
[08:56] <ozzie212> yeah but lost as ever.
[08:56] <ozzie212> no dual boot
[08:56] <g[r]eek> I need to setup IE in ubuntu
[08:56] <ozzie212> xp is on MBR
[08:57] <prince_jammys> ozzie212: so you're chatting from xp right now, and ubuntu is booted to a console?
[08:57] <nacer__> is it possible to bridge virtual ethernet interfaces (ex: eth0:1)?
[08:57] <prince_jammys> ozzie212: in the other computer?
[08:57] <DistroJockey> frybye, so it won't let you go outside  filesystem  (as that's where the share shows up in  Places - Computer) ?
[08:57] <prince_jammys> ozzie212: oh, i missed the dual boot. use my nick in the messages, you can autocomplete it
[08:57] <ozzie212> No one computer. XP on C: Ubuntu on E:
[08:58] <frybye> no just my own /home/ron/download and "other" which gives the "file system" but not computer or network etc.. = crazy.. the sort of stuff that turns ppl off linux to be honest...
[08:58] <prince_jammys> ozzie212: one thing you could do is boot to ubuntu from the live cd and chat on irc from there. then you could easily pastebin the logs and someone might be able to help
[08:59] <DistroJockey> frybye, yeah, does make it tricky. I'm looking into it.
[08:59] <frybye> of course if i had loads more background knowledge there are great command line backup utilities..
[08:59] <ozzie212> that would work - except where is the irc program
[08:59] <DistroJockey> frybye, still need to know where to copy to from the command line
[09:00] <frybye> normally I tend tu use a cd with accronis backup on it - but the eeepc does not have a cd drive and i dont (yet-) have an extern. one..
[09:00] <prince_jammys> ozzie212: i think it's in the menus.
[09:00] <ozzie212> Again please excuse my retardendess
[09:00] <frybye> shure...
[09:00] <ozzie212> THANK YOU. I'll be back on live CD
[09:00] <prince_jammys> ozzie212: i don't use gnome, so i don't remember what program it is
[09:00] <prince_jammys> what's the irc client that comes with the live cd?
[09:01] <prince_jammys> pidgin? xchat?
[09:01] <prince_jammys> ozzie212: probably one of those two
[09:01] <DistroJockey> prince_jammys, pidgin
[09:01] <prince_jammys> ozzie212: there you go
[09:01] <frybye> DistroJockey: I have just realized that i dont really have time for this right now - can i give you my email adds in a pm and when you have something for me - that would be cool ok?
[09:02] <ozzie212_> sorry I pressed the wrong button and got logged off
[09:02] <DistroJockey> frybye, yeah, that's fine. I'm interested in finding a solution to this myself now :)
[09:02] <prince_jammys> ozzie212: the irc program on the live cd is called 'pidgin'
[09:02] <ozzie212_> TY
[09:02] <ozzie212_> I'll be back
[09:02] <Finnish_> How do I restart sounds? Suddenly I lost all sounds
[09:02] <frybye> u seen my pm now DistroJockey
[09:03] <DistroJockey> frybye, aye
[09:04] <Peter2> Hi, is someone able to help a relative Ubuntu novice?
[09:04] <prince_jammys> only if you ask the question ;)
[09:05] <Peter2> I installed Rubyripper some time ago and after installation it automatically started up whenever I inserted an audio CD
[09:05] <error_x3> gehts auch AUF DEUTSCH
[09:05] <jussi01> !de
[09:05] <logic> i have laptop hp pavilion tx2000 working withe ubuntu every thing ok but the sound not work

[09:06] <Peter2> now, when I insert an audio CD I get soundjuicer starting ...
[09:06] <Peter2> how can I get back to a state where Rubyripper automatically starts?
[09:07] <pawan> hi
[09:07] <untitled> xmms media player (like winamp), witch package do i need to install 0.o, i used to just install xmms now its erver and client based :S
[09:07] <pawan> how to install xmms
[09:07] <shabda> how can I check what smtp server is installed on my system?
[09:08] <untitled> yeah
[09:08] <prince_jammys> pawan: untitled: i think the old xmms package is still around. there's also xmms2 now, and audacious
[09:08] <Flannel> !xmms | pawan
[09:08] <prince_jammys> audacious is the new xmms
[09:08] <pawan> ok
[09:09] <untitled> oh
[09:09] <Matt____> nope, I seemed to have kiilled the other VM
[09:09] <Matt____> the command was something like "ssftp"
[09:09] <Matt____> or "shftp" or something
[09:09] <Matt____> if someone has an idea pls let me know
[09:09] <AlmtyBob> I've got tightvnc running as a server on my linux box and I'm in it on my windows box.  All I have is a grey background and a terminal, how do I start gnome? gnome-session says "already running a session manager"
[09:10] <mehumot> hello, I've got problem, can somebody help me?
[09:10] <untitled> thanks that work a dream :D
[09:10] <mehumot> sorry for my english, I'm from Poland
[09:10] <untitled> thanks pawan; prince_jammys.
[09:11] <prince_jammys> untitled: welcome
[09:11] <vhieo> hy
[09:11] <ere4si> Matt____: you can see if the command is still listed in ~/.bash_history
[09:11] <Flannel> !ask | mehumot
[09:11] <prince_jammys> !pl | mehumot maybe you want this too:
[09:11] <Matt____> ere4si: for some reason it isn't there
[09:11] <Matt____> I think I may have killed that VM
[09:11] <ere4si> k
[09:11] <mehumot> I've installed ubuntu 8.04 yesterday, and there was no sound
[09:11] <pbn> Hello, how can I re-configure again the list of locales ? dpkg-reconfigure locales ? no...
[09:12] <Matt____> and I can't find the chat log either
[09:12] <Matt____> Colloquy really sucks
[09:12] <prince_jammys> !locale | pbn
[09:12] <Crazyguy> pbn, yes, "dpkg-reconfigure locales" as root
[09:13] <Peter2> I installed Rubyripper some time ago and after installation it automatically started up whenever I inserted an audio CD.    How can I get back to a state where Rubyripper automatically starts?
[09:13] <mehumot> only in notebook's loudspeaker
[09:13] <Crazyguy> pbn, actually, just see that link ^^
[09:13] <pbn> Crazyguy: thank you but... Ican't choose them with that :)
[09:13] <pbn> ok gonna look at the link
[09:13] <Ape3000> How long I need to have the Ubuntu CD in the tray when installing? Can I remove it when it loads the X and everything seems to be running? Then install without the CD?
[09:14] <prince_jammys> Ape3000: doubtful. files are copied from the cd
[09:14] <DistroJockey> mehumot, might be worth installing and trying:   pavucontrol
[09:15] <Ape3000> So I could already put it to another machine and start installing on that, too
[09:16] <naxa> hi
[09:16] <naxa> i can fully install a normal ubuntu from the alternate install cd?
[09:16] <naxa> or i need the normal cd too?
[09:16] <pbn> oops ?? /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: localeconf is not installed
[09:16] <DistroJockey> naxa, Alternate will do it nicely
[09:16] <naxa> thanks
[09:17] <DistroJockey> naxa, no problem
[09:17] <pbn> Crazyguy: hello the link told me to reconfigure localeconf, but that package isn't installed and it doesn't even exist... :)
[09:17] <prince_jammys> pbn: how come? did you run into the locales bug when installing hardy?
[09:18] <prince_jammys> i did
[09:18] <pbn> prince_jammys: bug ? locales bug ?
[09:18] <DistroJockey> naxa, alternate can also do a better job than desktop(normal) in some cases :)
[09:18] <prince_jammys> pbn: i guess not. you would know if you had
[09:19] <dabb1> utorrent stopped working in ubuntu..any help
[09:19] <prince_jammys> !info localization-config | pbn: perhaps it's called this:
[09:20] <prince_jammys> pbn: mm. maybe not
[09:20] <pepe_swash> Hello. When wanting a nfs server, do we absolutly need to use a modified kernel?
[09:20] <dabb1> utorrent stopped working in ubuntu..any help
[09:20] <dabb1> ?
[09:20] <dabb1> ?
[09:20] <FloodBot1> dabb1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:20] <debCarlos> I'm gonna kill myself
[09:20] <pbn> prince_jammys: no that's not it,s till :/
[09:20] <debCarlos> I did the same rm stupidity again
[09:21] <prince_jammys> pbn: 'locales'
[09:21] <debCarlos> Bye all :'(
[09:21] <prince_jammys> !info locales
[09:21] <pbn> okay folks how can I choose the locales ? on Debian lenny "dpkg-reconfigure locales" as root allows me to choose locales, but on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, "dpkg-reconfigure locales" as root doesnt allow me to change the locales, even with -p low... any idea ?
[09:23] <ra21vi> hi, I need to access the Ubuntu box X from Windows, just like Windows RDP
[09:23] <dabb1> any torrent client for ubuntu which will work over http proxy
[09:23] <ra21vi> how can I, please suggest
[09:23] <Flannel> ra21vi: check out xming, and X forwarding through ssh
[09:24] <ra21vi> dabb1: you can define http_proxy in shell env and then call the transmission from shell
[09:24] <dabb1> ra21vi:again..explain that
[09:24] <ra21vi> Flannel: ok, I tried X forwarding with ssh, didnt woked for me
[09:25] <ndlovu> !rhythmbox
[09:25] <ra21vi> dabb1: in shell type $ echo $http_proxy
[09:25] <ra21vi> what does it print
[09:25] <dabb1> ra21vi:it show http://<IP_ADDRESS>:808/
[09:26] <ra21vi> Flannel: what about NoMachine NX
[09:26] <prince_jammys> pbn: not sure if this is useful, though i does say 'SOLVED': http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=152589
[09:26] <ra21vi> dabb1: that is the proxy you are using. and do you have transmission
[09:27] <dabb1> ra21vi
[09:27] <vlt> Hello. Which group must a user belong to for accessing a scanner using `scanimage`?
[09:27] <dabb1> :yes
[09:27] <dabb1> ra21vi:yes
[09:27] <ra21vi> then in shell, try to run transmission
[09:28] <dabb1> ra21vi:no the transmission is not able to download
[09:28] <Ububegin> i am using CHM Viewer 0.9.9 .. but it doesnt have a find function.. any other better chm readers with a  find function built in...
[09:28] <Bigmack83> i am wanting to get ubuntu installed as the primary OS on my laptop. I will still have windows installed for purposes because i need it at school (i have to use the adobe CS3 apps and others that wont run under WINE). I want to be able to run windows (vista) under a VM. Can anyone recommend the best way do do this? since i may need to actually log into windows fully and will need access to those same files
[09:28] <dabb1> ra21vi:it is showing that "tracker hasn't responded yet"
[09:28] <prince_jammys> vlt: 'saned', it seems.
[09:29] <ra21vi> dabb1: please do some more research, maybe your network is blocking the torrent traffic, checkit
[09:29] <Bigmack83> i have seen in post before where the virtualized windows vista runs from an actual partition. is this reliable?
[09:29] <pbn> prince_jammys: thank you but it says to do "dpkg-reconfigure locales" as root, which I have already tried, but does not allow me to choose the locales....
[09:29] <prince_jammys> vlt: i really don't know. i see it mentioned in 'man scanimage', and it is a name of a group in my system
[09:29] <Matt____> are there chat transcripts for this channel online somewhere?
[09:29] <dabb1> ra21vi:i was using utorrent with wine thas was working perfectly but today that is not opening
[09:29] <Flannel> !logs | Matt____
[09:30] <prince_jammys> pbn: what happens when you type the command?
[09:31] <Matt____> ubottu: cheers
[09:31] <vlt> prince_jammys: No, adding the user to saned doesn't work.
[09:33] <Matt____> I guess that helps if you know the exact date :-(
[09:33]  * Matt____ groans
[09:33] <ubuntu__> ozzie
[09:34] <pepe_swash> Hello. When wanting a nfs server, do we absolutly need to use a modified kernel?

[09:35] <ndlovu> hi all. rhythmbox is not playing media for some reason. mplayer is working fine to play my mp3s. any ideas where to look for the problem? (when I try to play, rhythmbox gives error message "couldn't start playback (null)"
[09:35] <Sivam> can any one help me in installing sendmail and procmail for ubuntu
[09:35] <ubuntu> prince_jammys: GOT it TY
[09:35] <unop> pepe_swash, no
[09:35] <unop> !info nfs-kernel-server
[09:36] <ubuntu> prince_jammys:  I am now using live cd
[09:36] <ra21vi> which vnc server would be best.. i never used one, just need to intall one
[09:36] <pbn> prince_jammys: it says: Generating locales... en_AU.UTF-8... up-to-date
[09:36] <pbn> and so on
[09:36] <pbn> it regenerates the locales basically but it doesn't let me choose the locales :(
[09:36] <witriew> Sivam: installing should just be using synaptic
[09:36] <ra21vi> tightvnc or vnc4server
[09:36] <prince_jammys> ubuntu: ok. well, just to let you know, i don't know what's causing the problem. but perhaps someone can help once you paste the logs.
[09:36] <witriew> Sivam: or you can use apt-get
[09:36] <Matt____> ah it was sshfs
[09:37] <Bracki> How can I make gvim my default text editor in gnome?
[09:37] <humax> hello
[09:37] <ubuntu> prince_jammys: okay hoe do I get to the logs and where did you say I sould paste them
[09:37] <unop> Bracki, not being rude, but paste that exact question into your favourite search engine :)
[09:37] <humax> i have read up on alot and im still stuck
[09:37] <Karl31> hi, is this a known issue? i can't get 8.04 past the login screen... the screen goes black and goes right back to "user/pass", had to reinstall feisty.....
[09:38] <humax> can u get kismet from sudo in terminal ?
[09:38] <prince_jammys> ubuntu: open a terminal from the menu
[09:38] <debCarlos> Man, thanks god i made a backup lol
[09:38] <tommo> Hello all
[09:38] <ra21vi> please suggest me which VNC Server to go with/... performance matters a lot
[09:38] <Sivam> witriew: I am unable to find sendmail in synaptic
[09:38] <prince_jammys> unop: can you install a package from apt when running off the live cd?
[09:39] <Sivam> ra21vi: you can use tightvnc or you can try with xming
[09:39] <debCarlos> I was about doing a kill -9 carlos  when i remembered it lol
[09:39] <Peter2> How do I control which application is launched when I insert an Audio CD in the drive?
[09:39] <unop> prince_jammys, sure, a live CD has the same environment as a normal install as far as managing packages is concerned
[09:39] <vlt> `lsusb` doesn't show me any devices when not run as root. Which group must I belong to for usb access?
[09:39] <unop> debCarlos, you should kick the "kill -9" habit :)
[09:40] <debCarlos> Anyone knows how can i remove a app that i compiled if i don't have the source anymore
[09:40] <debCarlos> unop: yeah  :)
[09:40] <prince_jammys> unop: if someone wants to view some files on his normal '/' , he'd have to mount the partition from the live cd, correct?
[09:40] <unop> debCarlos, if you ever find yourself using "kill -9 anything" .. re-evaulate
[09:40] <ra21vi> Sivam: can you guide me to setup the X forwarding or Xming
[09:40] <debCarlos> unop: lol, what do you suggest ? kill -15 ?
[09:40] <echo6> Peter2: Take a look at gconf-editor, launch it from the terminal for your logged in user
[09:40] <ra21vi> Sivam: I tried once but failed
[09:41] <Sivam> ra21vi
[09:41] <Sivam> ra21vi: yep. are u using windows
[09:41] <newkid> hey guys, i have a problem...i installed ubuntu with wubi
[09:41] <echo6> debCarlos: make uninstall from the source directory
[09:41] <vlt> Ah, it's the group "scanner".
[09:41] <newkid> but it never asked me to create a root account
[09:41] <newkid> so now, i can't do shit
[09:41] <unop> prince_jammys, correct, I suspect you are trying to adjust something in the real install .. in which case, you would chroot into that mounted volume
[09:41] <debCarlos> echo6: I don't have it anymore
[09:41] <ra21vi> Sivam: no, I now have to, my Ubuntu is being shifted to DMZ and I am getting Windows
[09:41] <prince_jammys> unop: no, someone just need to pastebin some X logs
[09:41] <newkid> oh, and, for some reason i can't connect to the internet
[09:42] <echo6> debCarlos: can you not fetch it and recompile again?
[09:42] <newkid> it just wont connect to any wireless conection
[09:42] <debCarlos> echo6: ok, yeah
[09:42] <dabb1> anyone plz suggest me a torrent client which work with http proxy
[09:42] <unop> debCarlos, for i in 15 2 1 3; do kill $i $pid; sleep 2; done
[09:42] <dabb1> in ubuntu
[09:42] <ra21vi> Sivam: just bad luck
[09:42] <debCarlos> unop: great
[09:42] <AlmtyBob> I'm trying to setup tightVNC server, but I don't know what to set my ~/.vnc/xstartup file to.  the default is grey with a black term window, if I try to put "gnome-session" in there alone, it doesn't work.  I use samples from the web and I get gnome, but everything is black and there's no graphics
[09:42] <Bracki> unop: All the hints I found so far sound like hacks. Symlinking to gedit etc.
[09:43] <Bracki> That'S why I was asking.
[09:43] <Sivam> ra21vi, can you brief the way you are trying to setup
[09:43] <p4_xxx> is there a way i can see all the samba passwords and users in my ubuntu server?
[09:43] <Peter2> echo6: thanks for the pointer ... I have looked at gconf-editor, but it's not obvious what I should do!
[09:43] <unop> Bracki, i found this on google http://www.marksanborn.net/linux/making-gvim-your-default-text-editor-in-gnome/  see the last part on editing defaults.list
[09:43] <ra21vi> Sivam: sure, but a little later
[09:44] <AlmtyBob> oh doh, I just had depth set to 32bit
[09:44] <echo6> AlmtyBob: IIRC you have to pass the X session authority file, try x11vnc, it gives a useful hint which shows this config should work
[09:44] <[A][L][I][E][N]> ciao
[09:44] <unop> [A][L][I][E][N], ciao
[09:44] <[A][L][I][E][N]> unop posso chieder a te?
[09:44] <unop> !it | [A][L][I][E][N]
[09:45] <[A][L][I][E][N]> ok
[09:45] <prince_jammys> Bracki: just put: export VISUAL=gvim  in your .bashrc
[09:45] <debCarlos> echo6: Thanks, it worked :D
[09:45] <xintron> How do I add commands to be run when the computer starts (booting)?
[09:45] <AlmtyBob> echo6: I'm an idiot, I was applying a -depth 32, turning that off made it work fine
[09:45] <unop> !startup | xintron
[09:45] <AlmtyBob> don't suppos there's any vnc viewers that show compix effects? 8)
[09:46] <prince_jammys> Bracki: if that's what you're asking. (commands like crontab -e, visudo and so on will open in gvim)
[09:46] <xintron> !boot
[09:46] <echo6> AlmtyBob: Most of the vnc viewers will allow that, but it will be slower
[09:46] <echo6> Peter2: Have a look at the options under nautilus
[09:47] <echo6> Peter2: wihtin gconf-editor
[09:47] <babo> i want to create a directory for my users to upload files to. I want that directory to have a maximum size ( and extra security if possible ).
[09:47] <AlmtyBob> when I use the default ubuntu "remote desktop" settings, do I use the windows Remote Desktop connection to view it?
[09:47] <xintron> unop: I want this command to be run when booting "mount --bind /var/.... /home/...." where should I add that?
[09:47] <AlmtyBob> or is there another viewer I should use in windows
[09:47] <unop> xintron, rather than use a mount command, just put an entry in /etc/fstab
[09:47] <SitUbuntuSit> !filesharing
[09:48] <echo6> AlmtyBob: The choice us yours, tightvnc, xming whatever :-)
[09:48] <AlmtyBob> hmm tightvnc didn't seem to work
[09:48] <AlmtyBob> using host:0 or just hot
[09:48] <AlmtyBob> err just host
[09:48] <debCarlos> xintron: Maybe in /etc/init.d  ... that was  what i used to do in gentoo... but i don't know what you have to do in Ubuntu ...
[09:48] <unop> debCarlos, errm, why make /etc/fstab redundant? :)
