[11:58] <ypcx> Tonehog: even with their proprietary driver? I'm using Compiz a lot, currently using on-board nvidia...
[11:58] <L> .yrros
[11:58] <L> sorry.
[11:58] <L> ....  why did that just type backwards??
[11:58] <L> O.o
[11:58] <wite> lisdexyc much?
[11:58] <ccooke> Dazed: ATI support is getting better all the time - and, since all the specs are now published, will *continue* to do so.
[11:59] <Dazed> thats great.. but.. my card is retarded.. the fan stays at 5% until it hits 90c
[11:59] <Dazed> then it goes to 100
[11:59] <ypcx> I'd also like to support the more open manufacturer
[11:59] <Dazed> in wondows i used ati tray tools to set it up more logically
[11:59] <Dazed> in linux im screwed
[11:59] <DistroJockey> L , I think you will have the most/better luck with the Alternate CD
[11:59] <L> Alternate...?
[11:59] <DistroJockey> L , aye
[12:00] <L> I typed "sudo fdisk -l"
[12:00] <L> But... nothing.
[12:00] <ypcx> so Nvidia is better, but ATI will be better?
[12:00] <EarthLion> what
[12:00] <DistroJockey> L , means your HDD is not found
[12:00] <Dazed> nvidia is definitely the safer bet if you want to be on linux right now
[12:00] <EarthLion> can i share files between ubuntu and mac osx using samba?
[12:00] <L> Well that sounds lovely.
[12:00] <Tonehog> Dazed: I'm sure the driver has options to set the fan responsibility settings
[12:00] <Dudekiller> when ever i try and mount a hard drive i get im not privileged to mount the volume can u help me fix this?
[12:00] <prince_jammys> !alternate | L: this is the info if you need it
[12:00] <Dazed> if you google ati and linux there's a zillion pages of unhappy people
[12:01] <DistroJockey> cheers prince_jammys
[12:01] <Dazed> it doesnt tonehog
[12:01] <ypcx> Dazed: thx.. maybe I should choose Nvidia also because my mainboard's chipset is Nvidia (nforce430)
[12:01] <Dazed> that would be logical
[12:01] <DistroJockey> prince_jammys, L : though that needs updating to 8.04.1 :)
[12:01] <Tonehog> Dazed: tried 'modinfo' for the ATI driver?
[12:01] <Dazed> no
[12:02] <Dazed> have you?
[12:02] <L> Um...  I went to "Computer" and there is an "ATA Drive."
[12:02] <L> I double clicked, and it says it's unable to mount it...
[12:03] <wers> in simple english, how do I record audio with ardour? :)
[12:03] <L> Could that be the drive?  And... why can it not be mounted?
[12:03] <DozedOnLinux> L:  are you by chance installing that from withing the LiveCD desktop ?
[12:03] <L> Yes.
[12:03] <DistroJockey> L , if   sudo fdisk -l   doesn't see a drive, there is no chance of mounting it
[12:04] <Dudekiller> im also having trouble with my hd
[12:04] <Dudekiller> it wont mount cuz i dont have permission
[12:05] <Dazed> tonehog: Still there?
[12:05] <DistroJockey> Dudekiller, using   sudo mount /dev/sdxx /mnt/point   ?
[12:05] <Dazed> Tonehog: How would I check that modinfo? What's the syntax
[12:05] <Dudekiller> that works but next boot it does the same thing
[12:05] <Yuretsz_note> Hello there. Does anyone know how to set up "screen" to save my session automatically ?
[12:06] <prince_jammys> Dudekiller: perhaps editing /etc/fstab
[12:06] <prince_jammys> Dudekiller: what does the line in /etc/fstab look like for this drive, if it's there?
[12:06] <Dudekiller> everythings there
[12:07] <prince_jammys> can you paste it here
[12:07] <Dudekiller> it works if i mount it in super user in the terminal
[12:07] <Dudekiller> but other then that it wont mount
[12:07] <L> DozedOnLinux...  does installing from within the LiveCD desktop... matter?
[12:07] <hotwatermusic> Dudekiller can you explain you problem? maybe it's the same i had yesterday...
[12:08] <bullgard4> What is the function of the executable file /usr/lib/evolution/2.22/evolution-alarm-notify?
[12:08] <DistroJockey> L , as Ubottu said "The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD"
[12:08] <Dudekiller> what info do u need it only mounts in super user in the terminal then its fine till reboot where i have to do it again and its only one drive all the others are fine
[12:08] <ypcx> anyone here using HD3850 vga on Hardy? (and happy with it?)
[12:09] <Dudekiller> i just need to like change the privliges on the drive (if u can do that in linux)
[12:09] <DistroJockey> !fstab | Dudekiller
[12:09] <prince_jammys> Dudekiller: the line in the file /etc/fstab that corresponds to your drive
[12:09] <DozedOnLinux> L:  i dont like it myself
[12:09] <wols> bullgard4: evolution is not just a MUA but a PIM as well
[12:09] <hotwatermusic> Dudekiller the command sudo mount does not work?
[12:09] <wols> Dudekiller: you can. and as you've been asked, pastebin your fstab
[12:10] <qwerty121> anyone knows of a non-byrl/non-compiz dock other than gdesklets' dock?
[12:10] <prince_jammys> no, don't pastebin it. just paste the line here
[12:10] <wols> qwerty121: AWN
[12:10] <Dudekiller> ok just one sec im not getting permission to get into my etc
[12:10] <qwerty121> wols: does that need "specal effects"?
[12:10] <bullgard4> wols: I know that. But yours is not the answer to the question which I have put.
[12:11] <wols> bullgard4: it is
[12:11] <wols> qwerty121: afaik not
[12:11] <Mandrilo> hola
[12:11] <qwerty121> wols: then what is its pre-requisite?
[12:12] <Dazed> could someone give me the proper syntax to check the modinfo of the ati driver
[12:12] <wols> qwerty121: dunno. it's not in ubuntu either... you'd need to compile it yourself
[12:12] <wols> Dazed: modinfo fglrx ?
[12:12] <qwerty121> wols: thnx
[12:12] <Sivam> Tonehog: how can I add Kubuntu repositories to ubuntu
[12:12] <Dudekiller> ok new problem
[12:12] <Dazed> thansk that worked
[12:12] <Dudekiller> nate@Destroyer:~$ /etc/fstab
[12:12] <Dudekiller> bash: /etc/fstab: Permission denied
[12:12] <qwerty121> anyone on AWN's "pre-requisites"?
[12:12] <Sivam> Tonehog: any help/ link on that
[12:12] <wols> qwerty121: the AWN site surely does
[12:13] <DistroJockey> Dudekiller, cat /etc/fstab
[12:13] <qwerty121> wols: ya..should search first.
[12:13] <wols> Dudekiller: fstab is world readable...
[12:13] <wols> oh you tried to execute it :(
[12:13] <prince_jammys> Dudekiller: grep /dev/blah /etc/fstab    (where /dev/blah is the device)
[12:14] <DistroJockey> Dudekiller, or to patebinit:    sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/fstab | pastebinit
[12:14] <DozedOnLinux> L: i will inssert the LiveCD and see for myself what the options are. may take a few mins, but i am willing to see what i can do to help

[12:16] <gaelfx> what's the best program for burning dual layer DVDs?
[12:16] <jblack> depends on what you're burning. growisofs is nice if you're making filesystems.

[12:19] <Dudekiller> yes its right
[12:19] <gaelfx> jblack: have you used gnomebaker at all?
[12:19] <Myrtti> Apophis: save a picture of yourself as .face in your home directory
[12:19] <wols> bazhang: it helps to boot via init=/bin/sh :)
[12:19] <jblack> gaelfx: Nope. I don't burn video to disk.

[12:34] <sja> tdn, you a have sound and no have microphone working ?
[12:34] <pawan> there are no equilizers
[12:35] <wols> DozedOnLinux: alternate uses the same kernel. unlikely it can use the controller if that's the problem
[12:35] <wols> e.g. ICH10 and hardy are a no go
[12:35] <alami> wols http://pastebin.com/m7dfe5799
[12:35] <DistroJockey> !alternate
[12:35] <DozedOnLinux> wols: can that be worked around by way of Kernel Options ?
[12:35] <wols> DozedOnLinux: no
[12:35] <DistroJockey> "supports a wider range of hardware"
[12:35] <wers> !cssm
[12:35] <DozedOnLinux> wols: ok, thank you for the info
[12:35] <wols> DozedOnLinux: it can be worked around by using the intrepid kernel tho and that kernel only :)
[12:36] <wols> DozedOnLinux: but of course no support in any way
[12:36] <wers> !ccsm
[12:36] <itai-michaelson> anyone knows what to do when grub doesnt respond to any keyboard input and doesnt boot into linux? (its not a dual boot)
[12:36] <pawan> how is xmms

[12:37] <alami> http://pastebin.com/m7dfe5799
[12:37] <bazhang> alami, what is the problem; also repaste that to paste.ubuntu.com as it does not load here
[12:37] <DozedOnLinux> L: as suggested, you may need to use the AlternateCD, but it seems to come down to , the IDE controller may not be completely compatible with this version of Linux(Kernel). if the AltCD doesnt work, then Ubuntu may not be an option for that system (MB)
[12:37] <Smokeyo> And also how come my num-pad key has stopped working on ubuntu also
[12:37] <alami> bazhang http://pastebin.com/m7dfe5799
[12:37] <jbroome> itai-michaelson: make sure the keyboard is plugged in
[12:38] <DistroJockey> itai-michaelson, usb keyboards do that sometime, ps2 will work

[12:38] <gmg> alami, prove restarting you machine
[12:38] <row> Anyway to view sshfs mounts over samba?
[12:38] <DozedOnLinux> L: if possible, letting us know what the model of the MotherBoard is could help determine this.

[12:44] <DistroJockey> itai-michaelson, that is odd. Is this the first time it has happened?
[12:44] <linux_manju> wols: apt-cache search doesnot
[12:45] <tony_> thanks
[12:45] <itai-michaelson> DistroJockey, yes
[12:45] <DistroJockey> itai-michaelson, My clean install of Hardy needed a forced reboot the first time. I'd give that a try

[12:48] <DozedOnLinux> L: any luck ? i searched for possible solutions to the (intramfs and busybox), it may work, it may not
[12:48] <L> Right now I'm checking for errors on the disc.

[12:49] <DozedOnLinux> L: ok
[12:49] <L> Now some text.
[12:49] <DistroJockey> itai-michaelson, I'd fsck your drive and reinstall grub
[12:50] <gaelfx> wow, it seems that nVidia is too scared to put an email contact on their website. Wonder if they're scared of actually hearing about how poor their products can be?
[12:50] <linux_manju> itai-michaelson: You mean the grub menu or grub> ?
[12:50] <pawan> hi
[12:50] <tony_> does anyone know if having the cover off of my dell tower will slow the computer any

[12:51] <DistroJockey> itai-michaelson, yep
[12:51] <linux_manju> itai-michaelson: Type escape and try to recover from it...
[12:51] <linux_manju> itai-michaelson: Like root(hd0,0)
[12:51] <itai-michaelson> linux_manju, it doesnt respond to keyboards

[12:52] <tony_> about the os
[12:53] <tony_> i want to know if it is leagal for me to change the operating system how ever i want and then sell it for my own profit
[12:53] <itai-michaelson> linux_manju, DistroJockey thanks for the help, i'll need to get a live CD first (always use alternate myself) . i couldnt google something similar. i wonder if i used the wrong terms. i tried "grub stuck" and " grub doesnt respond keybosrd", any other suggestion?
[12:53] <niteye> hello, could i find an approximation date when the latest version of aMSN will be included in the repositry?
[12:54] <m300107> Thanks for the suggestions: upgrade was from 6.10 to 8.04. nfs-kernels-server on the server (7.10) is up-to-date. On the client: apt-get install nfs-common gave me NO FEEDBACK. rpcinfo -p for the server and the client are on: http://paste.ubuntu.com/36521/ Thanks

[12:55] <DistroJockey> itai-michaelson, via:  grub doesn't respond to keyboard
[12:55] <linux_manju> itai-michaelson: And then chroot.. that looks like a only way out.. unless the keyboard is working
[12:55] <pawan> how to install google earth

[12:57] <pawan> how to install through repo
 well on the back of the ubuntu case it says your are encouraged and leagally entitled to copy reinstall, modify and redistribute this cd for yourself and your friends.
[12:57] <tony_>  but i dont know if that means i can sell my on modifyed copy
[12:57] <DistroJockey> itai-michaelson, you're welcome. Check that drive for errors :)
[12:57] <matrix> are you there wols
[12:57] <prince_jammys> pawan: add the medibuntu repos
[12:57] <wols> no
[12:57] <jbroome> tony_: read up on the GPL
[12:57] <geirha> tony_: why would you want to sell ubuntu? Anyway, I think you are allowed to take money for your modifications, but you must provide the source code.
[12:57] <matrix> iam using gnomebaker and its not working to burn the movie what to do
[12:58] <matrix> the movie size is 701.8mb my cd is 700mb
[12:58] <wols> tony_: you can sell your modified copy. but you must usually also hand out source to your modified version on request. for specifics, read the GPL yes
[12:58] <jbroome> matrix: well, there's your problem
[12:58] <matrix> so what to do jbroome
[12:59] <matrix> to get bigger emty cd
[12:59] <gmg> matrix, prove with k3b
[12:59] <tony_> i plan to modify it so much it looks nothing like it. it is just easer to make and os with a base
[12:59] <tim_> how do i install sun java on ubuntu 8.04 x64?
[12:59] <Grobvok> matrix: try zipping it, if it's still not small enough, split it and use 2 cds or encode it in another format
[12:59] <jbroome> matrix: probably compress the movie more.  unless you can magically grow the cdr
[12:59] <tony_> by the time im done with it noone would know it was ubuntu
[13:00] <prince_jammys> ubuntu doesn't have a 'look'
[13:00] <Tonehog> prince_jammys: excepting all the artwork involved in making the distro :P
[13:01] <prince_jammys> i suppose if you're talking about gnome ... but i don't really agree with naming the distro after a desktop environment
[13:01] <prince_jammys> am i running ubuntu? i don't have gnome
[13:02] <Tonehog> prince_jammys: also, the boot-up splash is most likely under copyright law.
[13:02] <matholio> hey all
[13:03] <geirha> tony_: if you make any changes to gpl-ed software, you must follow the rules of gpl, which means you must provide the source code.
[13:03] <Tonehog> prince_jammys: using gnome doesn't constitute that you AREN'T using Ubuntu
[13:03] <pawan> i have enabled medi repo but no google-earth
[13:03] <error404notfound> everyone, what do you think of this sources.list (http://pastebin.com/m731efc96) ?
[13:04] <Runes> Grobvok,  I read that with ia32_libs installed you can run 32bit apps but it does not explain how the app is installed.  The files are .debs for the antivirus.

[13:05] <AndrewB> r/25
[13:06] <matholio> mgolisch: yes, Hardy x64
[13:06] <Tonehog> matholio: mplayer needs to be set up to use ALSA, most likely, if you are using ALSA as your audio driver collection.
[13:06] <tim_> how to insttall java on hardy?
[13:07] <prince_jammys> !java | tim_
[13:07] <matholio> I think so, alsamixer affect my saound volume.
[13:07] <Tonehog> google: java on ubuntu
[13:07] <mgolisch> matholio: if you open pavucontrol and start mplayer does it show up in there?
[13:07] <acidburn_> hey guys how do i get dvds to play in ubuntu kde
[13:07] <mgolisch> matholio: maybe it uses alsa directly and doesnt use pulseaudio or something
[13:07] <prince_jammys> acidburn_: did you install libdvdcss2 ?

[13:13] <mgolisch> matholio: do you have multiple soundcards? or something?
[13:14] <prince_jammys> pawan: add the medibuntu repositories and install through apt
[13:14] <matholio> Not knowingly.
[13:15] <Tonehog> I must say: Ubuntu is great for advanced users that don't want to mess around with config all day, but can be a terror for support.

[13:26] <rulus> Hi, I'm trying to mount my external hard drive in a console in the alternate install cd, but I get this error message: "mount: Mounting /dev/sdb3 on /mnt/disk/ failed: Invalid argument", any ideas?
[13:26] <Brucevdk> Question: besides bash, what "programs" source .profile?
[13:26] <pawan> hi
[13:27] <prince_jammys> Brucevdk: try in #bash
[13:27] <acidburn> ok still nuffin happening in kmplayer
[13:27] <Yagami_Light> price_jammys: I Shuold Look in "Compiz" Category there?
[13:28] <prince_jammys> Yagami_Light: there are many links. you probably want to look for emerald themes, and different icon themes
[13:28] <Brucevdk> prince_jammys: ok, but I don't think this has anything to do with bash (it's more an environment variables in general question)
[13:28] <monostone> any way to determine a files character encoding via the command ilne?
[13:28] <Yagami_Light> In Gnome-look.org i mean
[13:28] <prince_jammys> Brucevdk: .profile has a lot to do with bash
[13:28] <tony_> at my tech school my computer tech teacher has it so when you log on to your account your are not logging on to the local computer but a computer somewhere else in the building can i do that with ubuntu and how
[13:29] <Brucevdk> prince_jammys: well, does /etc/environment have anything to do with Bash?
[13:29] <DistroJockey> !ltsp | tony_
[13:29] <prince_jammys> Brucevdk: go to #bash, and type !dotfiles
[13:30] <prince_jammys> Brucevdk: perhaps that'll help
[13:31] <nomad111> hey all, how do i make my ntfs partition automount on startup with a given name, right now i have to select the drive from the Places menu for it to mount, any tips?
[13:31] <nomad111> is there a way to do it without working in fstab
[13:31] <Brucevdk> prince_jammys: thanks, reading :-)
[13:33] <prince_jammys> nomad111: have you installed ntfs-3g and ntfs-config? i think those apps do it automatically
[13:34] <nomad111> ntfs-3g comes installed stock
[13:34] <nomad111> ntfs-config doesnt i did install it
[13:34] <nomad111> but it doesnt give the option to automatically mount on startup
[13:34] <PupUser1a40f5> what is the advantage of putting boot in a seperate partion?
[13:35] <mgolisch> PupUser1a40f5: there is none usualy, unless you want to share it between muliple linux instalaltions or something
[13:35] <nomad111> PupUser1a40f5, if you dont specify a partition the boot settings are written to the mbr
[13:35] <nomad111> PupUser1a40f5, i think its more relevant to people who have dual boot systems, but i may be wrong
[13:36] <PupUser1a40f5> what is the best partion scheme if i want to dual boot, I already have a 20 gb Windows on a 350 gb hd.
[13:36] <bmharsha> Can I Schedule command pppoeconf to execute at a particular time (example;- 10 P.M) in ubuntu?
[13:36] <gaelfx> PupUser1a40f5: I would make another 20 part for Ubuntu
[13:37] <IndyGunFreak> PupUser1a40f5: i have a 500gig hard drive, her'es how i have mine.. 30gigs XP
[13:37] <prince_jammys> PupUser1a40f5: there's no best. you could do a 10gb or so for '/', and have a large /home. some like to do a separate /usr
[13:37] <IndyGunFreak> 75gisg for ubuntu on / and the rest is formatted as a fat32 share between the two(mp3s, videos, etc.)
[13:37] <PupUser1a40f5> and swap?
[13:38] <mgolisch> wow fat3 over 100gb that would scare the shit out of me
[13:38] <pawan> how to format partition to ntfs
[13:38] <gaelfx> PupUser1a40f5: I usually just use the standard, 1.5 gig swap part, I like to put it at the end of the drive though
[13:38] <IndyGunFreak> mgolisch: its not a huge issue fo rme
[13:38] <mgolisch> pawan: you cant under linux i think
[13:39] <gaelfx> mgolisch: sure you can
[13:39] <IndyGunFreak> pawan: easiest way is to use a gparted or partedmagic live CD...
[13:39] <prince_jammys> !gparted | pawan
[13:39] <IndyGunFreak> but you can use gparted also..
[13:39] <gaelfx> pawan: use Partition editor
[13:39] <mgolisch> gaelfx: realy?never saw a mkfs.ntfs or something
[13:39] <mgolisch> must be new
[13:39] <pawan> how
[13:39] <PupUser1a40f5> you are only alowd 4 primary partions, so I have 20gb Win, 100mb boot, 50bg root, rest home? there is no space for swap
[13:39] <IndyGunFreak> mgolisch: yeah, been around since like, i don't know, Breezy..lol
[13:40] <gaelfx> PupUser1a40f5: swap is not a primary partition
[13:40] <PupUser1a40f5> really?
[13:40] <prince_jammys> PupUser1a40f5: created an extended partition, which you can subdivide into logical partitions
[13:40] <mgolisch> oh but theres no fsck maybe thats what i remembered
[13:40] <PupUser1a40f5> that is great :)
[13:40] <gaelfx> PupUser1a40f5: pretty sure
[13:40] <IndyGunFreak> swap is a primary partition.
[13:40] <gaelfx> PupUser1a40f5: primary partitions are bootable ones, swap isn't bootable
[13:40] <rulus> Hi, I'm trying to mount my external hard drive in a console in the alternate install cd, but I get this error message: "mount: Mounting /dev/sdb3 on /mnt/disk/ failed: Invalid argument", any ideas?
[13:41] <IndyGunFreak> swap can be primary or logical, ia lways set mine as primary
[13:41] <prince_jammys> rulus: what's the command you're running?
[13:41] <DistroJockey> PupUser1a40f5, gaelfx : swap can be either primary or logical. Don't worry about using a /boot partition
[13:41] <gaelfx> IndyGunFreak: why?
[13:41] <rulus> prince_jammys: mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt/disk/
[13:41] <IndyGunFreak> why what?
[13:42] <gaelfx> IndyGunFreak: do you set swap as primary partition?
[13:42] <PupUser1a40f5> DistroJockey, but I am dual booting, they recomended a /boot?
[13:42] <IndyGunFreak> gaelfx: i always have...
[13:42] <mgolisch> rulus: maybe speicfy the filesystem type using the -t switch
[13:42] <prince_jammys> rulus: try minus the trailing slash
[13:42] <rulus> prince_jammys: makes to difference
[13:42] <gaelfx> IndyGunFreak: ugh, I asked why, you asked why what, and I said do you set swap as primary part?
[13:42] <rulus> mgolisch: then it says "no such device"
[13:42] <DistroJockey> PupUser1a40f5, /boot partition is not needed (and from my experience, not recommended)
[13:43] <gaelfx> IndyGunFreak: just forget it
[13:43] <IndyGunFreak> gaelfx: sorry, i'll let you hand out incorrect advice from now on
[13:43] <pbrown985> lol
[13:43] <gaelfx> PupUser1a40f5: they mean for swap you don't worry about boot
[13:43] <DistroJockey> gaelfx, no, I know what I mean
[13:44] <prince_jammys> rulus: then specify the file system type, as mentioned above.
[13:44] <PupUser1a40f5> ok, so 20gb Win, 50gb root, 2gb swap, rest home?
[13:44] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[13:44] <gaelfx> ack, sorry, I can't follow anything with all these login/logout messages
[13:44] <torgrimt_> 0gb win, and one big ass mufu for the rest ;)
[13:44] <rulus> prince_jammys: 'mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb3 /mnt/disk' results in "Mounting ... failed: no such device"
[13:44] <PupUser1a40f5> i hide all the login/logout :P
[13:44] <turtlez> rulus: does sdb3 exist?
[13:44] <IndyGunFreak> why are you guys confusing the hell outta him w/ all these partitions?.. the average user needs 2 partitions, a swap(and most the time they may not need that), and a / and relaly, thats it
[13:45] <rulus> turtlez: sure
[13:45] <PupUser1a40f5> torgrimt_. lol
[13:45] <krazy-h_> hi there
[13:45] <gaelfx> PupUser1a40f5: how do you do that?
[13:45] <prince_jammys> PupUser1a40f5: if you want to have shared partition between windows and ubuntu, you could throw that in
[13:45] <torgrimt_> i have regretted so many times in splitting
[13:45] <PupUser1a40f5> in pidgin
[13:45] <torgrimt_> like /var, suddenly its filled up
[13:45] <PupUser1a40f5> there is a addon
[13:45] <torgrimt_> and you endup with a superhack with mount -bind /home/newvar /var
[13:45] <torgrimt_> ;)
[13:46] <DistroJockey> PupUser1a40f5, looks good (though 50GB for / is a tad excessive)
[13:46] <qwerty121> anyone knows whethr i need compix or byrel for AWN?
[13:46] <gaelfx> PupUser1a40f5: ok, I'll look for that
[13:46] <rubydiamond> Hi how to check what dns servers my ubuntu system is using?
[13:47] <erUSUL> rubydiamond: cat /etc/resolv.conf
[13:47] <turtlez> rubydiamond: cat /etc/resolv.conf (I think?)
[13:47] <Dazed> is it usually a huge hassle to get sound working in your vbox or did i do something wrong?
[13:47] <turtlez> erUSUL: doh ;)
[13:47] <taller> good day to you all...
[13:48] <rubydiamond> yeah erUSUL, it worked
[13:48] <erUSUL> rubydiamond: turtlez ;P
[13:48] <taller> can any one held me a hand on some screen issue
[13:48] <rubydiamond> yeah erUSUL and turtlez thanks!
[13:49] <turtlez> rubydiamond: np!
[13:49] <qwerty121>  anyone knows whethr i need compiz or beryl for AWN?
[13:49] <gaelfx> PupUser1a40f5: can you remember the name of the plugin that block the messages?
[13:49] <PupUser1a40f5> yes
[13:49] <rulus> qwerty121: you need compiz, beryl doesn't exist anymore
[13:49] <bmharsha> Can I Schedule command pppoeconf to execute at a particular time (example;- 10 P.M)?
[13:50] <PupUser1a40f5> login\logout hide
[13:50] <gaelfx> PupUser1a40f5: thanks
[13:50] <rulus> bmharsha: yup, read about cron
[13:50] <qwerty121> rulus: ty
[13:50] <rulus> yw :)
[13:52] <bmharsha> rulus: Thanks for the reply, I am going to read about cron command right now.
[13:52] <ubutunoob> gaelfx, so the plugin worked?
[13:53] <gaelfx> ubutunoob: still installing
[13:53] <ubutunoob> ok
[13:54] <Dazed> spaces keep appearing between the items on my panel and i have to keep moving them back into place... wtf
[13:54] <rulus> bmharsha: this might be a good start:
[13:55] <rulus> bmharsha: hmm, something went wrong pasting, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto
[13:56] <bmharsha> rulus: Thanks for the link, I was just about to ask it.
[13:57] <rulus> you're welcome
[13:58] <Brucevdk> prince_jammys: got my answer, thanks.
[13:58] <recon> sox's play utility is throwing an error. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/36527/
[13:58] <gaelfx> phew
[13:59] <gaelfx> ubutunoob: yeah, it works
[13:59] <ubutunoob> ok :)
[13:59] <gaelfx> ubutunoob: don't know why it wasn't in there in the first place
[13:59] <ubutunoob> i know what you mean
[13:59] <FabParma> how access as root in gnome?
[14:00] <nooga> Does soomebody know where nautilus writes samba share configuration? Because /etc/samba/smb.conf seems to not correspond to actual state and i know that shares were created using nautilus.
[14:00] <Tonehog> FabParma: what do you mean? do you want a gnome-session as root?
[14:00] <mgolisch> are there any decent guides on usplash? i mean advanced topics and tips and stuff
[14:00] <FabParma> Tonehog: yes
[14:00] <gaelfx> ubutunoob: whoa, doesn't hide name changes though
[14:00] <ubutunoob> ya
[14:00] <ubutunoob> but there are not lots of name changes
[14:01] <Meeso> I want to install ubuntu
[14:01] <Meeso> its asking for what achitecture I have
[14:01] <Meeso> I have windows XP media center edition
[14:01] <B_166-ER-X> my computer completely hang up, just 'freeze' (sometime i still can use the mouse, although nothing else moves) , i dont have any idea where the probleme is coming...please !
[14:01] <Meeso> is it 64 or 86??
[14:01] <ikonia> neal_: x86
[14:01] <ikonia> Meeso: x86
[14:01] <Meeso> ok
[14:01] <ikonia> Meeso: you'll find it a safer use if you don't know what you've got
[14:01] <Tonehog> FabParma: you're better off running applications using sudo or gnome-sudo (or whatever it's called)
[14:01] <bepo> hi
[14:01] <gaelfx> Tonehog: gksudo :P
[14:02] <bepo> i've a problem with firefox 3
[14:02] <FabParma> Tonehog: the limit to log as root into X its a limit of desktop edition?
[14:02] <Tonehog> gaelfx: thx. I use KDE
[14:02] <skarab> Is there a way to configure openssh to have a global umask setting for non-interactive logins?
[14:02] <skarab> e.g. if a user did ssh <hostname> 'touch some-file'
[14:02] <gaelfx> Tonehog: np
[14:02] <bepo> when i open it, it does that http://www.picdo.net/Fichiers/8b94194169ac8cd2cdcdf193417dcd3b/Capture.png - just when i open it, after it runs very well.. but why does it do that ?
[14:03] <Tonehog> FabParma: it's safer to run root apps as root rather than the whole X Windows session
[14:03] <ikonia> cock
[14:03] <ikonia> oops
[14:03] <ikonia> apologies
[14:03] <gaelfx> ikonia: lol, tourette's?
[14:03] <bepo> lol
[14:03] <ikonia> keyboard slip
[14:03] <ikonia> apologies
[14:04] <FabParma> Tonehog: yes, i know very well. but if i need use root, does exist a way on Ubuntu desktop edition?
[14:04] <prince_jammys> worry not.
[14:04] <bepo> np ikonia :p
[14:04] <bepo> can someone help me to fix my problem please ?
[14:04] <bepo> it does that only with firefox 3 when i open it
[14:04] <gaelfx> !root | FabParma
[14:04] <Tonehog> FabParma: you can do everything using gksudo without loggin in as root
[14:06] <bepo> firefox does that only when i open it, after it runs very well http://www.picdo.net/Fichiers/8b94194169ac8cd2cdcdf193417dcd3b/Capture.png why ??
[14:06] <FabParma> Tonehog: ok, thanks. so its impossible to log as root. In server edition its possible?  thank you
[14:06] <Tonehog> FabParma: just use gksudo or kdesudo to run your apps
[14:06] <prince_jammys> FabParma: if you hae to run several commands as root, you can get a shell with 'sudo -i', or 'sudo -s' (man sudo for the difference). when you're done, you type 'exit'
[14:06] <Tonehog> FabParma: it's just better security practice
[14:06] <prince_jammys> did that show up funny in your clients?
[14:06] <iMaTh> hello
[14:06] <Brandon__> Is hardy Heron like not working well with CUPS? It was working then then randomly my browser says it can't connect to the cups page yet I can SSH and everything fine. Anyone else seen this?
[14:06] <Tonehog> FabParma: get used to that and you will have way less security issues
[14:06] <gaelfx> prince_jammys:  nope
[14:07] <s`s> FabParma: of course if you really want to set up the root account you can through Users and Groups
[14:07] <prince_jammys> gaelfx: thanks. typed a cntrl char by accident and it showed up reverse video here.
[14:07] <s`s> FabParma: it's just not a good idea
[14:07] <Tonehog> FabParma: That's why those were made
[14:07] <FabParma> Tonehog: to me this in not security. its violation of freedom or the assumption that all users are unable to manage their os
[14:07] <gaelfx> prince_jammys: haha, sounds trippy
[14:07] <cologuy> !list
[14:07] <erwin_> other question, I unplugged my laptop yesterday with a 5.1 system working on it, now it does not play any sound at all, on the internal speakers. How to solve that ?
[14:08] <opt1k> hey, i have a problem with compiling my eggdrop.. it can't find my tcl.h & path to my tcllib directory, and i've checked for my tcl installation and everything's ok.. so what should i do?
[14:08] <FabParma> Tonehog: anyway i know, its not your faul
[14:08] <s`s> FabParma: no one is stopping you from turning on the root account. Go in to users and groups in ubuntu and give it a password, then you can log in to it the same as any other account.
[14:08] <Tonehog> FabParma: How is it a limitation to simply use a sudo wrapper to run a root-based application? That logic is false.
[14:08] <prince_jammys> FabParma: it's not a violation of anything. you can easily set up a root account if you must. it's just not recommended here. like i said, sudo -i will give a root session as long as you want
[14:09] <gvk> It's offensive.
[14:09] <Tonehog> FabParma: I don't run Windows XP as Administrator because there's "runas..."
[14:09] <fluentis> HowTo enable ROOT in ubuntu: http://www.debianadmin.com/enable-and-disable-ubuntu-root-password.html
[14:09] <leachim6> does anyone here have an Ideapad ?
[14:09] <Tonehog> FabParma: the same rule applies here in linux
[14:09] <erUSUL> FabParma: if you want a linux distro that do not use sudo by default there zillions to choose from. No need to come here to waste everybody's time. Thanks
[14:09] <erwin_> how to reable sound on internal soundcard ?
[14:10] <erUSUL> fluentis: do not do that please
[14:10] <Tonehog> erwin_: reable?
[14:10] <MrPrise> hello
[14:10] <erUSUL> !enableroot
[14:10] <prince_jammys> the way to enable it is the standard UNIX way, which surely you must know, right?

[14:11] <fluentis> erUSUL, it's not for me :)
[14:11] <erUSUL> gnomefreak: the one that says something like do not adviceto enable root if yopu are not willing to be here helping....
[14:11] <erwin_> leachim6: got any ideas
[14:11] <fluentis> erUSUL, there was a question :)
[14:11] <Tonehog> erwin_: MSG me your problems
[14:11] <erUSUL> fluentis: and i telling you not to do that

[14:15] <gaelfx> Dazed: I think so
[14:15] <orly_owl> IndyGunFreak: I don't see that in the GNOME menu. Is there a command that will tell me what driver I'm using?
[14:15] <acidburn> i can explore it yes ive even tried playing the vob files manually but nothing

[14:17] <opt1k> Dazed: go with SMPlayer
[14:17] <fluentis> so nobody used the underclock module for thinkpads?
[14:17] <Dazed> the whoel thign that makes vlc good (in windows) is that it plays EVERYTHING without isntalling any extra codecs.. even divx and such with ac3 audio
[14:17] <Dazed> whereas i tried playing a video in linux with vlc and it had no audio.. but with the default movie player in linux it has audio
[14:17] <Dazed> so wtf..
[14:17] <sun> nobody
[14:17] <FabParma> i need to change the video adapter driver from sis to vesa. does exist a frontend package?
[14:17] <Vegombrei> hi .. my computer hangs sometimes .. is there a utility to check all my hardware like ram and processor etc .. ??
[14:18] <gaelfx> Dazed: screws fall out all the time, the world is an imperfect place
[14:18] <acidburn> any ideas gaelfx
[14:18] <Dazed> Stupid world
[14:18] <gaelfx> acidburn: did you try using VLC instead?
[14:18] <irc_bot> hello. i am trying get SNES to save my progress in a game, but i can´ t get it to work. please help!
[14:18] <IndyGunFreak> Vegombrei: what type of computer?
[14:18] <frostburn> Vegombrei, cat /proc/cpuinfo      cat /proc/meminfo     and dmesg
[14:18] <acidburn> yes tried that
[14:18] <irc_bot> i mean, ZSNES
[14:18] <Vegombrei> IndyGunFreak: desktop .. assembled it myself
[14:18] <IndyGunFreak> ok
[14:19] <IndyGunFreak> maybe look at a memtest,
[14:19] <IndyGunFreak> is it just locking up, or is it just slow?
[14:19] <Vegombrei> frostburn: whats what ? should i copy paste that in terminal ?
[14:19] <frostburn> Vegombrei, just type dmesg
[14:19] <frostburn> that will show you if any piece of hardware is misbehaving
[14:20] <erUSUL> FabParma: gksudo displayconfig-gtk
[14:20] <FabParma> i need to change the video adapter driver from sis to vesa. How to? Thanks
[14:20] <FabParma> erUSUL: thanks
[14:20] <rulus> prince_jammys, mgolisch: apparently I can mount fat32 filesystems, not ext3 fs's. Do I have to load something to do that?
[14:20] <gaelfx> acidburn: well, then I'm not really sure what to tell you, besides maybe the DVD is broken
[14:21] <prince_jammys> rulus: i don't see why
[14:21] <gaelfx> acidburn: perhaps you could check in the Kubuntu forum
[14:21] <gaelfx> acidburn: *IRC channel, woops
[14:21] <rulus> prince_jammys: me neither
[14:22] <Vegombrei> frostburn: dude it gave me a lot of info .. how do i know if there were any errors ?
[14:23] <FabParma> !enableroot
[14:24] <jussi01> !rootsupport
[14:24] <jussi01> !supportroot
[14:24] <frostburn> Vegombrei, there's no one error to look for, you'll have to get a feel for what's normal and what isn't normal.  Google some of the lines.  More than likely they're normal.  For example sometimes my video card will flake out and it will display an error message saying that the nvidia module segfaulted
[14:25] <nani> hi
[14:25] <tillux2> hiho
[14:26] <rick_> d
[14:26] <gaelfx> tillux2: what did you call me?
[14:26] <bmharsha> rulus: I tried cron command it worked but my issue was not solved, I was trying to schedule Ubuntu to connect to Internet only at particular time but my computer gets connected to Internet as soon as I switch on my Modem.
[14:26] <raystin> ??
[14:26] <tillux2> is there a way to save different profiles (say the gnome-desktop-layout and compiz) to easily switch between them?
[14:26] <tillux2> gaelfx: hu?
[14:27] <gaelfx> tillux2: nothing, just a lame attempt at humor regarding your greeting
[14:27] <Meeso> I downloaded ubuntu
[14:27] <Meeso> it says 12.9 mb but unpacked its about 726 mb
[14:27] <tillux2> gaelfx: ^^
[14:27] <Meeso> is this correct?
[14:28] <IndyGunFreak> Meeso: sounds about right... just burn the ISO image to a disk as an imate
[14:28] <IndyGunFreak> !iso | meeper
[14:28] <IndyGunFreak> Meeso: do you knwo how to burn an imate?
[14:28] <IndyGunFreak> *image
[14:28] <Meeso> yeah
[14:28] <Meeso> Ive used poweriso
[14:28] <IndyGunFreak> well just burn it and boot it, and see how it goes..
[14:28] <Meeso> ok
[14:28] <Meeso> thanks
[14:28] <IndyGunFreak> if you have a problem, use xchat to come here.
[14:28] <bullgard4> What is the function of the executable file /usr/lib/evolution/2.22/evolution-alarm-notify?
[14:28] <orly_owl> How do I find out what video driver I'm using?
[14:29] <bmharsha> Can I schedule my Ubuntu to connect to Internet only at particular time? Right now my computer gets connected to Internet as soon as I switch on my Modem.
[14:29] <Meeso> mount it to a virtual drive?
[14:29] <Bodsda> is it possible to hav a movie file play as your background?
[14:29] <tillux2> Meeso: no, just burn it
[14:29] <orly_owl> !video driver > orly_owl
[14:29] <IndyGunFreak> Meeso: just burn it to a disk
[14:29] <Meeso> ok
[14:29] <IndyGunFreak> cdr or dvdr.
[14:29] <turtlez> !video driver > turtlez
[14:30] <raystin> :)
[14:30] <IndyGunFreak> lol, nothing like PMing bot commands that don't work
[14:30] <tillux2> Meeso: (use pidgin to come here again ;) it's the default instant messenger)
[14:30] <Bodsda> lol @ IndyGunFreak
[14:30] <IndyGunFreak> Bodsda: :).. good seein ya
[14:31] <bmharsha> Right now my computer gets connected to Internet as soon as I switch on my Modem. Can I schedule my Ubuntu to connect to Internet only at particular time?
[14:31] <Bodsda> IndyGunFreak, likewise dude
[14:31] <cdavis> I need to add a postrotate line in logrotate but cannot find how logrotate knows to handle /var/log/messages ?
[14:31] <wols> bmharsha: yes. do you use dhcp?
[14:31] <wols> or pppd?
[14:31] <cdavis> Does it inherently know to handle everything in /var/log?
[14:31] <orly_owl> "<ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about myself" Good, it's not self-aware.
[14:32] <wols> cdavis: not inherently
[14:32] <Meeso> ok burning to dvd-r
[14:32] <gaelfx> orly_owl: haha, nice
[14:32] <wols> cdavis: ls /etc/logrotate*
[14:32] <IndyGunFreak> Meeso: burn it nice and slow.. 2-4x is best.
[14:32] <albech> anyone have experience with connecting a Bravia monitor to the VGA output on a notebook?
[14:32] <tillux2> so, again, is there a way to save the gnome layout whatsoever to easily switch between multiple profiles?
[14:32] <Meeso> heh, speedy
[14:32] <wols> orly_owl: the bot is liar. after what happened to skynet, no computer will ever admit to be self aware
[14:32] <Meeso> so...
[14:32] <Meeso> I have a 250 bg harddrive
[14:33] <IndyGunFreak> Meeso: slower the better.. fast burns,for some reason always screw up on me
[14:33] <Meeso> how should I split it?
[14:33] <Meeso> 150- for windows
[14:33] <albech> the nvidia server will only let me choose between 640x480 and 320x240 for the monitor
[14:33] <turtlez> IndyGunFreak: actually, you should always burn at the rated speed of the media for best results. :)
[14:33] <wols> albech: pastebin your xorg.conf
[14:33] <Bodsda> IndyGunFreak, ive burned at full speed and had perfect copies but other times (like my arch cd) it totally borked it!
[14:33] <tillux2> Meeso: 150 for windows?
[14:33] <wols> turtlez: not really
[14:33] <Meeso> yeah
[14:33] <IndyGunFreak> Bodsda: iv'e never ever had luck burning at full speed
[14:33] <Meeso> I game alot
[14:33] <bmharsha> wols: I don't know but sometimes I use "pppoeconf" command to get connected to Internet, if I am not automatically connected.
[14:33] <IndyGunFreak> and turtlez read the wiki on burning iso's, it disagrees with you
[14:33] <Meeso> so I need the space
[14:34] <tillux2> Meeso: so you've got 150gb of games ;D ?
[14:34] <gaelfx> Meeso: you could do 20-20-210
[14:34] <wols> bmharsha: ifconfig -a
[14:34] <Meeso> no
[14:34] <wols> bmharsha: is there a pppX?
[14:34] <IndyGunFreak> Meeso: you ahve a 150gig xp partition, is that what you're saying?
[14:34] <wols> Meeso: then most should be ntfs
[14:34] <prower> I have an 18x pioneer dvd burner but I always burn at 16 just to be cautious...generally if it's a little below top speed, but not top, then it should burn okay
[14:34] <gaelfx> Meeso: if you format that biggest partition as NTFS, windows will still be able to use
[14:34] <Meeso> no
[14:34] <Meeso> I havent partitioned it
[14:34] <IndyGunFreak> oh
[14:35] <bmharsha> wols: Shall I post the output for "ifconfig -a" in private chat?
[14:35] <wols> Meeso: ubuntu / needs about 5GB. space for home not counted. a little bit of swap that's it. how you want to do the windows part is your choice. we don't deal with windows
[14:35] <gaelfx> prower: yeah, but some DVD-Rs can't be written at that speed
[14:35] <binaryflow> I reinstalled ubuntu on my Latitude D620 to encrypt the hard drive.  Sound was working before the rebuild but does not work now.  If I change the hardware in System Settings to oss I can hear system sound but miro, kaffeine, gstreamer, xine play with no sound.  Alsa doesn't produce sound anywhere.  I can switch Amarok to use the oss drivers but nothing else seems to work.  Fully patched.  Gnome, KDE and KDE4 installed.  Any ideas?
[14:35] <Meeso> heh
[14:35] <albech> wols: http://nopaste.com/p/ar1tKpWao
[14:35] <tillux2> Meeso: best is like about 20-30gb for windows (no games, no music no nothing, just windows and apps), again 30gb for ubuntu and swap, the rest for data
[14:36] <wols> albech: please pastebin the Xorg.0.log then too
[14:36] <erwin_> have a sound problem
[14:36] <mgolisch> i have 20gb for / 200 for /home and another 1tb for a ext3 fs i mount at /mnt/data
[14:36] <mgolisch> :)
[14:36] <IndyGunFreak> tillux2: thats how i've got mine setup, so i'd say i agree with you, except its 30, 50 400
[14:37] <Meeso> whats the directory path for installing ubuntu?
[14:37] <cdavis> wols, there isn't anything specifically about messages or /var/log/* in /var/logrotate.d
[14:37] <CrazyProgrammer> Sorry for interrupting guys..I have a simple wuestion with huge implications to my day... How can I determine if a server has drupal or Joomla support? I can ssh to the server but I am not an admin. It is an Ubuntu Server 8.04. Thank you!!
[14:37] <tim_> anyone here using jdownloader for rapidshare and knows about the reconeectmethod?
[14:37] <IndyGunFreak> mgolisch: lol, you plan on running out of space by the year 2250?
[14:37] <spanker> geia se olous
[14:37] <CrazyProgrammer> geia!
[14:37] <European-African> I want to migrate my system to another harddisk, I am going to reinstall. Where are all the updated packages/debs stored?
[14:37] <mgolisch> IndyGunFreak: no i just have all my data there, mostly anime movies and music
[14:38] <mgolisch> :)
[14:38] <trigpin> has onyone tried " playonlinux " is it better than wine ?
[14:38] <wols> cdavis: where did I talk about /var?
[14:38] <Meeso> how do I install it?
[14:38] <IndyGunFreak> mgolisch: lol,
[14:39] <pogay> CrazyProgrammer:  usually you don't need admin right for these kind of cms.
[14:39] <erwin_> any solutions to: ** (totem:13416): WARNING **: Failed to create dbus proxy for org.gnome.SettingsDaemon: Could not get owner of name 'org.gnome.SettingsDaemon': no such nam
[14:39] <European-African> !upadate
[14:39] <European-African> !update
[14:39] <mgolisch> erwin_: do you run gnome?
[14:39] <erwin_> yep
[14:39] <wols> Meeso: you insert the CD into your cdrom drive and boot from it
[14:39] <tillux2> IndyGunFreak: my setup is quite weird... I've got an internal 80gb ide with 3 partitions, one windows (ca 35gb), one for games (ca 40gb) one windows-swap (rest), an external usb 250gb with two partitions, one music and graphics, the other one my old ubuntu installation (gotta kill that one) and a new internal 250gb s-ata with 3 partitions and a huge unpartitioned section (20gb root, 6gb swap, 40gb home, unpartitioned)
[14:39] <IndyGunFreak> European-African: the updated apps, arent storedin packages on your PC
[14:39] <NoiZe91> hello. Can anybody help me with creating an ad-hoc connection?
[14:39] <mgolisch> erwin_: you should have running the gnome-settings thing then
[14:39] <wols> IndyGunFreak: what about /var/cache/apt/archives/?
[14:39] <mgolisch> erwin_: maybe it got terminated
[14:40] <IndyGunFreak> wols: are they stored there?.. that would surprise me
[14:40] <erwin_> mgolisch: howto do that then
[14:40] <pogay> CrazyProgrammer:  you don't even need ssh,, probably for jommla and I think drupal
[14:40] <European-African> IndyGunFreak. really, I was told that when you update a copy of the deb is stored on the pc.
[14:40] <cdavis> wols, in ls /etc/logrotate* which inclused logrotate.conf and logrotate.d, neither if which I can find where /var/log/* or /var/log/messages is included?
[14:40] <alraune> did anyone tried to use truecrypt to encrypt a whole drive with different OSses on ? e.g. hd 0,1 xp  hd 0.3 ubuntu ....  does that work with tc ?
[14:40] <IndyGunFreak> European-African: i don't think they are, i might be wronmg..
[14:41] <Meeso> !install
[14:41] <albech> wols: that was quite a job ;) http://nopaste.com/p/aAmA5ey01
[14:41] <mgolisch> erwin_: start gnome-settings-daemon manualy
[14:41] <mgolisch> erwin_: does it show errors?
[14:41] <Meeso> I need help
[14:41] <Meeso> can someone please PM me
[14:41] <NoiZe91> hello. Can anybody help me with creating an ad-hoc connection?
[14:41] <European-African> !deb
[14:41] <talcite> hi guys. Could someone explain LVM to me please?
[14:41] <erwin_> mgolisch: how do I start gnome-settings-deamon
[14:42] <European-African> !spm
[14:42] <nooga> did somebody used SWAT for configuring samba under ubuntu?
[14:42] <talcite> if one of the disks go down, is there any redundancy?
[14:42] <mgolisch> erwin_: you open a terminal und type gnome-settings-daemon [enter]
[14:42] <pogay> NoiZe91: which kind of connection?
[14:42] <European-African> !packages
[14:42] <alraune> Meeso: can someone please PM me // yup
[14:42] <Bodsda> !msgthebot > European-African

[14:43] <exalted> Hi. I have an LCD monitor which works best 1024x768 at 60Hz. I'm adding vga=792 boot parameter for GRUB and then eventually update-grub, but when I restart my system nothing will show up on screen. Do you have any idea(s)? Thanks.
[14:43] <pogay> ifconfig eth0 up; dhclient
[14:43] <pogay> NoiZe91: for LAN
[14:43] <mgolisch> erwin_: hm it running then
[14:43] <Cyberai> I am having a USB problem I think. My MP3 player shows up perfectly in gnome on a fedora system as a removable USB drive. But in Ubuntu it's flaky. Sometimes it doesn't show up at all in gnome except in "Computer" as a USB drive that I can't open. Other times gnome doesn't see it at all, but it's there in dmesg. Can anyone suggest a fix?
[14:43] <mgolisch> erwin_: no idea why your other progs fails to talk to it via dbus then
[14:43] <pogay> NoiZe91: you mean ad hoc für wirlless....
[14:44] <marx2k> Cyberai: Which MP3 player is that
[14:44] <NoiZe91> pogay: for Wifi. One laptop has internet over ethernet. I ant to connect both laptops over wifi and get internet on the other. is that possible?
[14:44] <erwin_> mgolisch: can it be due to earlier use of 5.1 systemm and now wanting to use the internal speaker
[14:44] <Cyberai> marx2k, Insignia Pilot, from Best Buy
[14:45] <cherrry> Hi
[14:45] <cherrry> I accedentally closed my taskbar
[14:45] <marx2k> I'm trying to decide on a large capacity mp3 player that works well in Linux
[14:45] <cherrry> How can I retrive it?
[14:45] <Cyberai> marx2k, I love this thing. Cheap and works great.
[14:45] <IndyGunFreak> NoiZe91: do you have a router
[14:45] <cherrry> hlp me pls
[14:45] <Cyberai> marx2k, just want it to work right in Ubuntu  :)
[14:45] <marx2k> How large is it?
[14:46] <marx2k> (gigabytes)
[14:46] <Cyberai> marx2k, mine is 4GB
[14:46] <Cyberai> but they have 8GB ones
[14:46] <Cyberai> it does video too
[14:46] <NoiZe91> IndyGunFreak. ethernet router: wes, Wlan router: no
[14:46] <prower> I've been trying to find something along the same lines actually :> I was going to buy a nano but Apple is no longer Linux friendly....I'd suggest the Sandisk Sansa (4gb) or Fuze (8gb)
[14:46] <NoiZe91> IndyGunFreak: ethernet router: wes, Wlan router: no
[14:46] <marx2k> I was wanting an iPod 80g
[14:46] <marx2k> :(
[14:46] <NoiZe91> IndyGunFreak: ethernet router: yes, Wlan router: no
[14:47] <IndyGunFreak> NoiZe91: well, then you're gonna have to steal someoen elses's wireless connnection
[14:47] <pogay> NoiZe91:  should be possible, to connect only to the other laptop, but I missunderstood adhoc.
[14:47] <IndyGunFreak> marx2k: their linux support sucks.
[14:47] <prower> marx2k: Unfortunately unless you can get iTunes to work properly in Wine, it's no longer an option ://
[14:47] <prower> And I doubt that works
[14:47] <binaryflow> Are there some alsa packages that I should install?  Config files?  Is alsa the sound engine that is found when System Settings - Sound is set to auto detect?
[14:47] <marx2k> Wasnt Amarok supposed to be syncing with iPods soon (or now?)
[14:47] <NoiZe91> IndyGunFreak: i've tried ;) but its WPA2 without PSK
[14:48] <erwin_> binaryflow: not sure
[14:48] <IndyGunFreak> marx2k: it does, but the new Ipods firmware is absolutely no joy on Linux.
[14:48] <Vhozard> will i notice the speed difference between ubuntu and arch on a E8400 (@3,6Ghz) and  2 samsung spinpoints in raid?
[14:48] <NoiZe91> pogay: if i am connected with the other laptop, will i get internet access?
[14:48] <wols> !alsa | binaryflow
[14:48] <marx2k> So Apple crippled the iPod to not work with Linux??
[14:48] <IndyGunFreak> pretty much
[14:48] <erwin_> binaryflow: is there anyway to check for alsa updates only
[14:48] <pogay> NoiZe91:  I think this is the way...
[14:48] <marx2k> lame
[14:48] <IndyGunFreak> marx2k: best place to look for a good, mp3/video player with solid linux support, is Creative
[14:48] <NoiZe91> pogay: so can wou help me getting the ad-hoc connection?
[14:49] <ikonia> marx2k: cowan audio
[14:49] <marx2k> Creative actually makes decent mp3 players?
[14:49] <IndyGunFreak> marx2k: they supposedly work quite well w/ linux..
[14:49] <pogay> NoiZe91: but other pc has to allow achoc connections
[14:49] <bmharsha> Can I schedule my Ubuntu to connect to Internet only at particular time? Right now my computer gets connected to Internet as soon as I switch on my Modem.
[14:49] <IndyGunFreak> ikonia: but they cost a fortune
[14:49] <ikonia> IndyGunFreak: yup
[14:49] <NoiZe91> Indygunfreak: is there a possibility to hack a WPA2 network? (without getting a handshake)?
[14:49] <pogay> NoiZe91: unfortunalty I never tried that, an I now only the this kind of connection exists...
[14:49] <IndyGunFreak> NoiZe91: it'd be pretty freakin difficult.. why don't you just go buy a $40 router?
[14:50] <Meeso> Pm me whoever was talking to meeso
[14:50] <NoiZe91> pogay: thanks anyway
[14:50] <NoiZe91> IndyGunFreak: to easy ;)
[14:50] <IndyGunFreak> well, ..
[14:50] <Beefeater> its not possible
[14:50] <Bodsda> NoiZe91, WPA2 not sure WEP yes definately
[14:50] <pogay> NoiZe91: aren't there description in the internet?
[14:50] <IndyGunFreak> WEP you can crack in 5min, wpa.. eh..
[14:51] <wols> NoiZe91: with enough sniffed traffic, yes. IIRC ~10GB
[14:51] <NoiZe91> pogay: not realy good ones
[14:51] <Meeso> rebooting
[14:51] <pogay> NoiZe91: I know the problem...:-) good luck
[14:51] <NoiZe91> wols: but my HDD has only 5GB ;)
[14:51] <Bodsda> NoiZe91, theres plenty of wifi encryption hack tuto's
[14:51] <bmharsha> Right now my computer gets connected to Internet as soon as I switch on my Modem. Can I schedule my Ubuntu to connect to Internet only at particular time?
[14:51] <MXIIA> does ubuntu automatically act as a server? when I enter "http://localhost" it says "It Works!" but I never installed Apache or anything of the such
[14:52] <Ziroday> MXIIA: you must of
[14:52] <Bodsda> bmharsha, you could set up a block in your router config to achieve those results
[14:52] <NoiZe91> Bodsda: i know.. wou can hack WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK and WEP. But when there is no handshake wou must bruteforce it
[14:52] <Ziroday> MXIIA: or you installed some other app that requires apache
[14:52] <alraune> Meeso: ?
[14:52] <MXIIA> hmm
[14:52] <NoiZe91> pogay: thx
[14:52] <albech> wols: any ideas?
[14:52] <Ziroday> MXIIA: you can always remove it if you want
[14:52] <pogay> NoiZe91: but try first to connect to other pc.... it's ok
[14:52] <Ziroday> MXIIA: and synaptic will tell you what needs it
[14:52] <Bodsda> NoiZe91, bruteforce, not really, with enough traffic you can sniff the password (eventually)
[14:53] <MXIIA> is there a way to tell what it is?
[14:53] <NoiZe91> podgay: what do wou mean?
[14:53] <NoiZe91> Bodsda: but the problem is, that i only have 2 GB of free HDD
[14:53] <FabParma>  i tried pc-bsd distro with kde. inside the menus there is an utility to change the driver of video adapter that its like cups to configure a lan printer. do you think that dont exist for Ubunu a package/utility like that? Thank You
[14:53] <Bodsda> NoiZe91, learn where the 'y' key is please
[14:53] <NoiZe91> Bodsda: or how many traffic do wou mean?
[14:53] <bmharsha> Bodsda: I am not using any Router to connect to Internet, all I have is a Modem that is connected to my telephone and it is not Dialup. I am using Broadband.
[14:54] <Bodsda> bmharsha, not sure then, sorry
[14:54] <wols> NoiZe91: compression!
[14:54] <wols> less albech
[14:54] <NoiZe91> Bodsda: ;) i'm writing from an french keyboard. Normally i do this from an german one. Thats why i mix up the letters ;)
[14:54] <bmharsha> Bodsda: Its ok, thanks for a try.
[14:54] <tillux2> MXIIA: or monodevelop ;)
[14:55] <erwin_> still no sound
[14:55] <wols> albech: (II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 1280 x 800
[14:55] <bmharsha> Right now my computer gets connected to Internet as soon as I switch on my Modem. Can I schedule my Ubuntu to connect to Internet only at particular time?
[14:55] <NoiZe91> Bodsda: how can i get so much traffic? waiting is not the solution... ;)
[14:56] <albech> wols: thats my main display on the notebook
[14:56] <wols> albech: so you want a 2nd monitor connected?
[14:56] <Bodsda> NoiZe91, im not going to give you a encryption hacking tuto in this channel
[14:56] <wols> NoiZe91: you can't. waiting is the only way
[14:56] <albech> wols: yes its a bravia TV connected with the VGA cable
[14:56] <wols> at least with WPA
[14:57] <NoiZe91> Bodsda: then in a private, or can you tell me a site where i can read what i have to do?
[14:57] <Bodsda> NoiZe91, www.google.com

[14:57] <wols> ubottu: if you are lucky, nvidia-settings should work. you will need twinview
[14:58] <wols> albech: if you are lucky, nvidia-settings should work. you will need twinview
[14:58] <IndyGunFreak> NoiZe91: why don't you use google?.. or like i said, buy a router, then you won't have to wait.
[14:58] <wols> albech: twinview is the thing to look for with nvidia drivers
[14:58] <FabParma>  i tried pc-bsd distro with kde. inside the menus there is an utility to change the driver of video adapter that its like cups to configure a lan printer. do you think that dont exist for Ubunu a package/utility like that? Thank You
[14:58] <albech> wols: ill have another look at that.. i already had a working dual display with another 20" monitor, but i want to be able to connect it to my TV as well
[14:58] <wols> FabParma: you run debian. this is the wrong channel for you
[14:58] <albech> wols: ill have another look at the dualhead page though
[14:59] <wols> albech: use twinview. not normal dualhead like xinerama

[15:08] <Meeso> Im using the alternate
[15:08] <Michael_> Why doesn't the ipconfig command work in my terminal? It's a bran new installation of Ubuntu. It just returns the error command not found, or words to that effect.
[15:08] <ph4mp573r> Michael_ try ifconfig
[15:08] <siaw> Michael_: its ifconfig :D
[15:08] <Nelson_Apart> Where does Pidgin save the log?
[15:08] <Ziroday> bmharsha: this may be extremely complicated, if you are interested and are willing to give up a large amount of free time join me in #bmharsha
[15:08] <wols> Meeso: cause it doesn't exist. ubuntu is not windows :)
[15:09] <Michael_> Ohhh right.
[15:09] <Hagen> hi
[15:09] <Dream[BR]> Hi - Hi - Hi

[15:12] <dawid> hi all
[15:12] <dawid>  could any one give me program that is easy to create programs?? for ubuntu sys gnome
[15:13] <wols> trigpin: depends a bit on what videocard and driver you use

[15:13] <dawid> another one
[15:13] <trigpin> Ziroday,  it not about being slow but it keeps flashing
[15:13] <wols> dawid: what language?
[15:13] <wols> trigpin: so which are you using?
[15:13] <dawid> the best will be for beginners
[15:13] <wols> dawid: python
[15:13] <wols> with pygtk
[15:14] <dawid> can u give me a program
[15:14] <dawid> ??
[15:14] <Ziroday> trigpin: or you can execute a script that turns compiz off when you start the game
[15:14] <dawid> i have python ide but its too hard
[15:14] <trigpin> wols , intergrated family chip set i think let me check
[15:14] <christel> DozedOnLinux: what can i do you for?
[15:14] <wols> !info eric
[15:15] <dawid>  could any one give me program that is easy to create programs?? for ubuntu sys gnome

[15:16] <dawid> ok bye all
[15:16] <dawid> :P
[15:16] <wols> trigpin: are you using xserver-xgl?
[15:16] <emorris> are there any programs/features that will allow me to block the mouse from entering a certain area of the screen?
[15:16] <wols> trigpin: dpkg -l xserver-xgl
[15:17] <xnv> emorris: I hope so. That would be a hilarious prank.
[15:17] <wols> trigpin: tho I think your "videocard" is kinda marginal for compiz
[15:17] <l3d> here is something I just installed clamav and was wondering about if a pdf document could have a virus? sorry if this is a noob question
[15:17] <emorris> xnv: i have a real use for it though
[15:17] <wols> l3d: there were some exploits IIRC
[15:17] <trigpin> wols , it says not matching xserver-xorg
[15:18] <KomiaPoika> what is package name for extra resolutions and video crads support again?
[15:18] <pvh_sa|wrk> l3d, not a virus as such. however, there are malformed PDFs that exploit bugs in PDF readers... cause buffer overflows, etc
[15:18] <wols> trigpin: where did I say _anything_ about xserver-xorg?
[15:18] <Ziroday> KomiaPoika: depends what video card
[15:18] <KomiaPoika> Ziroday: it's a trident
[15:18] <wols> KomiaPoika: there is only the trident driver. it should be used automatically
[15:18] <l3d> so I should delete the linux help books that are the pdf books in question
[15:18] <wols> l3d: why?
[15:18] <DozedOnLinux> oh this is great
[15:18] <Ziroday> KomiaPoika: what wols said
[15:18] <wols> l3d: not every pdf has an exploit
[15:19] <trigpin> wols , No packages found matching xserver-xgl. sory i get confuesed all sound same to me
[15:19] <KomiaPoika> wols: i have a 800x600 screen ion a 1024 laptop monitor
[15:19] <wols> KomiaPoika: check your Xorg.0.log then
[15:19] <tobias__> Hey, can anybody help me with the xampp installation?
[15:19] <wols> KomiaPoika: and set 16bit color instead of 24
[15:19] <tobias__> I need to know where the /localhost/ folder is located so i can put my php files
[15:19] <Raist_Maj> Hi
[15:19] <wols> tobias__: no. ubuntu comes with everything lamp has. xampp is not ubuntu and not supported
[15:20] <wols> !lamp |  tobias__
[15:20] <tobias__> Thank mate
[15:20] <Vegombrei> hi .. i installed ubuntu a few weeks ago .. i like it and wanna remove windows and make my pc a complete ubuntu computer ... how do i reinstall and which is the best version to download and install ?
[15:20] <wols> tobias__: /var/www/ in the default ubuntu apache install which you should use. xampp we dunno and don't care: if you have installed it you now have a borken install
[15:21] <wols> !best | Vegombrei
[15:21] <IndyGunFreak> Vegombrei: well what version do you have installed now?
[15:21] <Vegombrei> IndyGunFreak: the latest hardy i guess
[15:21] <IndyGunFreak> Vegombrei: ok, then why not just stick w/ that?
[15:21] <pogay> Vegombrei:  you can use gparted and change, move and resize partiton, but use the gparted live-CD.
[15:22] <IndyGunFreak> pogay: if he has a big hard drive, that will take freakin forever.. it'd be easier to reinstall.
[15:22] <IndyGunFreak> you an reinstall in 20min, or spend 10hrs moving partitions
[15:22] <Vegombrei> IndyGunFreak: thing is i have 2 hdd's and both wierdly partitioned due to windows on one of the hdd's .. i wanna wipe my pc slate clean and reinstall and let ubuntu configure the space .. i already backed up all my stuff on an external usb hdd
[15:23] <vorl> Hi, Why are there so much distributions, doesn't that seem contraproducent?
[15:23] <pogay> Vegombrei:  you can copy your installatio via cparted to an other disk. then reformat, and copy back
[15:23] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[15:23] <vorl> the software developers have it harder to release and some people seem to insult people from other distributions
[15:24] <pvh_sa|wrk> heya... i've got a logical volume on a loopback device - any ideas how to make the vg available at boot time? at the moment i've written my own init.d script to do a losetup and vgchange -ay  - but wondering if there is some facility already there that i missed
[15:24] <wols> vorl: this is a ubuntu support channel. not a general linux channel for general linux questions
[15:24] <wols> vorl: do you have a ubuntu support question?
[15:24] <bazhang> vorl, not the place for chat; try #ubuntu-offtopic please
[15:24] <KomiaPoika> wols: it just installed and in the xorg.conf file there is no resolution or bitdepth setup
[15:24] <vorl> bazhang, thanks
[15:24] <wols> pvh_sa|wrk: /etc/fstab
[15:25] <wols> KomiaPoika: I know. you need to edit it by hand basically :(
[15:25] <KomiaPoika> wols: :o
[15:25] <Vegombrei> pogay: its not like that .. lemme be more precise .. i have 2 hdd's .. one 80 gb and one 250 gb .. the 80 gb is independantly ubuntu .. the 250 gb is partitioned .. i wanna wipe that hdd out and incorporate it with ubuntu .. but the thing is the 250 gb is my primary master
[15:26] <wols> KomiaPoika: welcome to new Xorg autodetection. which doesn fscking work! :(
[15:26] <pvh_sa|wrk> wols, seems appropriate for a filesystem, but not for a LVM volume group
[15:26] <Kartagis> hoşçakalın / bye
[15:26] <wols> Vegombrei: format the 250GB partition with ext3 and add it to /etc/fstab on a mountpoint of your choice
[15:26] <KomiaPoika> wols: yes i remember last time i installed linux on that old laptop it found my card correctly
[15:26] <wols> !lvm | pvh_sa|wrk
[15:26] <christel> wols: ok, 7pm a good time? :p
[15:27] <wols> KomiaPoika: gutsy?
[15:27] <LordRedyen> hi, i need help installing ubuntu
[15:27] <wols> christel: lemme check air fares and schedules :)
[15:27] <KomiaPoika> wols: no, kubuntu 8.04 is what i just installed
[15:27] <Michael__> I have just installed Ubuntu on my new PC. amd have no wired or wireless internet connection available. It just says 'No network connection'. I have ran the ifconfig command which just said something about loopback, localhost <IP_ADDRESS>. It said nothing about my network card, where do I go from here?
[15:27] <wols> KomiaPoika: I mean the old install where it was detected properly
[15:27] <LordRedyen> can't install ubuntu becauso HDerrors http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/36539/ ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen
[15:28] <KomiaPoika> wols: kubuntu 7.x as far as i remember
[15:28] <KomiaPoika> wols: i just wiped it without backuping xorg.conf, cause it was so easy last time :(
[15:28] <KomiaPoika> or etch was it i don't remember
[15:28] <xnv> Michael__: Checked for physical switches?
[15:28] <pvh_sa|wrk> wols, the first link in that list doesn't exist and the second makes no reference to loopback devices
[15:29] <Michael__> xnv, what are they?
[15:29] <wols> pvh_sa|wrk: how is a loopback device special?
[15:29] <pvh_sa|wrk> wols: it needs to be associated with a file... i.e. losetup -f /data/mybigfile
[15:29] <xnv> Michael__: Physical switches. Switches on your laptop to turn on/off your network connection. They are quite common for wireless cards. They can be buttons, key combos, etc.
[15:29] <xerxes1358> Hi
[15:29] <MXIIA>  6192 mxiia     39  19 2110m 1.7g 2264 S    1 90.3   2:05.73 beagled-helper    - This is killing my RAM!! I have 15MB free how do I kill this process so I can apt-get remove it?
[15:29] <wols> KomiaPoika: etch and gutsy use the old non autodetect X. only hardy and lenny fscked it up. morons (yes I know !language, don't bother. I still think the x strike force are such)
[15:30] <pogay> Vegombrei:  I always use gparted for repartentioning, and IMHO it doesn't take such a long time.
[15:30] <xerxes1358> Does Ubuntu Live DVD has HP Printer support ? I have a HP7345. How do I check if this printer is supported in the Live DVD ?
[15:30] <Michael__> xnv. I am using a wired connection right now on my Vista partition.
[15:30] <wols> pvh_sa|wrk: I'd still sue either initrd or a init.d script
[15:31] <bringatowel> xerxes1358, give it a try ;) and also try enabling restricted drivers
[15:31] <MXIIA> xerxes1358: search for HPLIP
[15:32] <xnv> Michael__: And?
[15:32] <pogay> Vegombrei:  and as wols said, you can mount any partiton to your ubuntu insatallation.
[15:32] <pvh_sa|wrk> wols, thanks, i wrote my own init.d script but was just wondering if there was a "standard way" i'm missing ;)
[15:32] <selinuxium> Hi all, For some reason OpenOffice opens and take up all of the screen real estate, sitting above the task bars... Is there any way of stopping this?
[15:32] <wols> pvh_sa|wrk: all I'd do is the losetup in the init.d rest if possible in fstab btw
[15:32] <wols> cause it's fstab where mounts happen :)
[15:32] <xnv> Michael__: If there's a problem with your wired card, presumably you want to get on the network and try to download updates. If you can use your wireless card instead, you should look to see if you need to enable it.
[15:33] <lamego> are there any instructions on how to debug a system freeze ?
[15:33] <pvh_sa|wrk> wols, nah, not fstab  - since this vg is not mounted (its used to host a Xen DomU).
[15:33] <squiggle> hi all, i'm having problems automounting my shared partition. Works manually but won't automount, and i'm quite sure i've edited /etc/fstab properly.
[15:33] <zaubra0912> упсс это че англ. чат )))
[15:33] <Vegombrei> pogay: actually i didnt understand it
[15:33] <Michael__> xnv, I am using a wired connection right now on my Vista partition. I don't actually have a wireless card come to think of it, but my wired just isn't working.
[15:34] <wols> squiggle: pastebin your fstab
[15:34] <dabbu> my system is behaviour is very odd....i have inserted a pen drive and removed but it is still showing the pen drive in my computer......i have installed few softwares but it is not showing ......when i play a .wmv file it does not play the sound only the video is playing and after few mnustes the audio is starting
[15:34] <dabbu> why
[15:34] <pogay> Vegombrei:  what is on the 250GB harddrive?
[15:34] <Vegombrei> pogay: im a noob dude i was looking up that fstab thing wols told me about

[15:37] <magnetron> bluey, liferea
[15:37] <wols> squiggle: exact tabs are important in fstab. and there exists no "relatime". perhaps you mean "realtime"?
[15:37] <bluey> thanx magnetron
[15:37] <magnetron> bluey, install it with "add/remove applications"
[15:37] <Vegombrei> pogay: windows on half the partition and music, movies, tv shows and porn on the other half

[15:37] <TheWanted> hello :(
[15:37] <bluey> magnetron: lemme try
[15:38] <squiggle> oh sry wols. didn't see yr post
[15:38] <pvh_sa|wrk> wols, relatime is an inode access time optimisation: man mount
[15:38] <emorris> wols: yes there is http://lwn.net/Articles/244829/
[15:38] <squiggle> wols: anyway the problem i'm having is with the last line only, partition in question is /dev/sda2
[15:39] <wols> squiggle: your ext3 option is wrong as I told you and the last line need proper tabs
[15:39] <TheWanted> how can i copy links from my windows PC to my ubuntu .. am using tightVNC  !!!!!!!!!!
[15:39] <TheWanted> wols didn't got it
[15:39] <wols> emorris: thx
[15:39] <pogay> vegombr an you want the ubuntu on the 250gb disk?
[15:39] <squiggle> wols: okay thanks. i'll go try read and fix that. the partition is fat32 not ext3.
[15:39] <wols> haven#t heard of it yet. learn a new thing every day
[15:39] <secludedsage> Excuse me. I want to install Kubuntu 7.04 with KDE 3 in my mobile harddisk. Will KDE 3 upgrade to KDE 4 with Kubuntu's being upgrading to 8.10?
[15:39] <wols> squiggle: I know
[15:40] <wols> squiggle: but I was wrong about the ext3 relatime option
[15:40] <emorris> wols: [relatime] provides for updates only if the previous atime is older than the mtime or ctime (from wikipedia article "stat (Unix)"
[15:40] <squiggle> wols: okay... sorry. i'm a bit slow at all this. so how do i fix it? put in the tabs properly?
[15:40] <ogzy> what is the name of the screen that shows the ubuntu logo and a filling bar at the boot time? I want to change the appreance of that screen
[15:41] <bluey> superb ...... thanx magnetron

[15:41] <exalted> Hi. I have an LCD monitor which works best 1024x768 at 60Hz. I'm adding vga=792 boot parameter for GRUB and then eventually update-grub, but when I restart my system nothing will show up on screen. Do you have any idea(s)? Thanks.

[15:41] <TheWanted> where can i see clipboards ???????????????????
[15:41] <pogay> Vegombrei:  if you like ubuntu on the 250GB-Disk you can resize the last partiton. you need about 5GB for full installation.
[15:41] <TheWanted> some 1 give me some minutes
[15:41] <kindofabuzz> i cannot gksudo nautilus, or when i'm in nautilus and right click a folder and select open as admin, i get password prompt but does nothing
[15:42] <Vegombrei> pogay: the point being i dont want absolutely no partitions .. i want the hdd's to be a single partition of its true size thats it .. im tired of having to see so many drives
[15:42] <emorris> TheWanted: you can't
[15:42] <kane77> pogay, hmm.. but then when you use it for a longer time it takes a bit more space actually.. I for instance after 3 years have 15GB used by / partition
[15:42] <squiggle> wols: /mnt/sda2 vfat umask=077,uid=1000      will that do? i read it off a howto
[15:43] <TheWanted> emorris u sure ?
[15:43] <pogay> Vegombrei:  ah you like to make on disk out of many partions on the 250GB?
[15:43] <pulseezar> quick question; what command would I use to start samba?
[15:43] <emorris> TheWanted: AFAIK, since you can copy all sorts of data from images to plain text to files, it would be impossible to make a universal viewer
[15:44] <E|_LHNAS> ÷áßñåôå, ôß êÜíåôå;
[15:44] <pogay> Vegombrei: wols is right, in linux, you can mount every partion to your home...
[15:44] <wols> squiggle: yes. pretty much
[15:44] <Myrtti> !gr | E|_LHNAS
[15:45] <Vegombrei> pogay: yeah dude .. its already got partitions .. i want to knock it all out and make it just one single 250 gb hdd .. thing is ubuntu is running from another 80 gb hdd in my system .. they're both sata but i think the 250 gb hdd is my primary . you think if i knock it out it'll take out bootloader etc ?
[15:45] <E|_LHNAS> kissesssss
[15:48] <trigpin> anyone know a light weight firefox as it is talking 20 cpu with 2 tab open ?
[15:48] <pogay> Vegombrei:  I guess you can configure the boot sequence and device in your bios
[15:48] <Jockeo> In OpenOffice.org Word processor, I've made an index (Table of contents). However there is no blank space between the number and the heading. How can I fix this? Now it look like: "1Introduction" but I want it to be "1 Introduction".
[15:49] <dabbu> opera of firefox which one is best
[15:49] <gilda> best is matter of opinion

[15:51] <dolo> Is anyone here using a bootsplash that they made themeselves?
[15:52] <IndyGunFreak> Vegombrei: i think this is being made more of an issue than it needs to be, just make sure your data is backed up, and reinstall
[15:52] <IndyGunFreak> and set the drives how you want them
[15:52] <bringatowel> dolo, you mean for Grub? not now but i have before
[15:52] <dolo> not for grub you know when the pc first boots that orange ubuntu logo with loading bar

[16:03] <wols> squiggle: don't. to check your fstab entry, just jsue mount /dev/sda2
[16:03] <TheWanted> emorris nothing loaded when i pressed alt+f2
[16:03] <deepfriedsquirre> Some stderr from running the installer: The setup program seems to have failed on x86_64/glibc-2.0
[16:03] <earthian> My friend has problems with the keyboard layout in hardy
[16:03] <wols> deepfriedsquirre: glibc-2.0 is kinda OLD
[16:03] <Mortuis> bringatowel: I am connected to the machine via SSH.  I had originally set the password in that Remote Desktop area, but I don't have vncpasswd installed on that machine (I just tried it).  So I was just confirming that I had to install vncpasswd to make this change, and that vncpasswd is not for something other than that Remote Desktop area.
[16:03] <earthian> it sometimes not change to some other languages in the group
[16:03] <abchirk> Hi, I started the UbuntuinstallCD (Hardy) I tried to resetup my grub... but there aren't any usual device names under /dev/ only /dev/disk/aasjdi-part2 and else? How I can resetup grub then?
[16:03] <deepfriedsquirre> I found glibc-2.7.x or soemthing, but I can't find glibc2.0
[16:03] <emorris> TheWanted: what are you seeing now?
[16:03] <deepfriedsquirre> yet it worked in an installation of xubuntu on top of an old ubuntu installation
[16:03] <dolo> any ideas?
[16:03] <deepfriedsquirre> both of which were 8.04
[16:04] <TheWanted> emorris only firefox
[16:04] <wols> !grub | abchirk
[16:04] <emorris> !enter | deepfriedsquirre
[16:04] <opt1k> wols: nothing happens
[16:04] <TheWanted> emorris something wrong there
[16:04] <deepfriedsquirre> wols: Well, what shall I do about it?
[16:04] <wols> opt1k: that's the problem. not tcl8.5 installed. do that now
[16:04] <wols> !uake4
[16:04] <wols> !quake4
[16:04] <deepfriedsquirre> I looked here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games/Native/Quake4
[16:04] <emorris> TheWanted: close firefox, press ctrl-alt-backspace to restart x, then log in again
[16:05] <opt1k> wols: i'm pretty much sure i've installed tcl8.5 but i'll do as you say
[16:05] <abchirk> wols that is my problem, he isnt linking my disk on /dev/ so I cannot use grub commands to install it?
[16:05] <squiggle> wols: somehow, when i didn't change anything the last time i rebooted, it worked. i dunno what you/I did right though. lol. happily ever after for me
[16:05] <pogay> abchirk:  I guess the easyest way to correct a grub installation is from a live-CD
[16:06] <abchirk> pogay but how? I have to reinstall it with the stages and so on..
[16:06] <legend2440> opt1k: why compile it when it is in synaptic?
[16:06] <wols> abchirk: bind mount /dev and /proc inside the chroot BEFORE you chroot
[16:06] <bringatowel> Mortuis, yeah remote desktop controls the vnc server, so vncpasswd should do the trick
[16:06] <wols> !info eggdrop
[16:06] <TheWanted> emorris nothing working
[16:06] <opt1k> wols: ii  tcl8.5                                     8.5.0-2ubuntu1                                       Tcl (the Tool Command Language) v8.5 - run-t
[16:06] <abchirk> wols tehre isn't any /dev/hda or /dev/sda or else :(

[16:06] <opt1k> wols: i only know of eggdrop
[16:06] <wols> opt1k: and the -dev file?
[16:06] <Mortuis> bringatowel: Okay, thanks! I'll go hunt down which package has vncpasswd then.
[16:07] <dolo> Anyone here running a bootsplash that theyve made themselves?
[16:07] <wols> abchirk: kinda unpossible
[16:07] <pogay> abchirk:  you can mount --bind /your/boot /boo and then grub-install /dev/yourdevice, the update-grub
[16:07] <opt1k> legend2440: synaptic has an older version
[16:07] <opt1k> wols: what dev file?
[16:07] <emorris> TheWanted: what do you mean nothing?
[16:07] <IdleOne> dolo, ask a specific question in refference to your specific issue. that Q is to vague for anybody to be able to help you
[16:07] <wols> opt1k: the tcl8.5 dev package
[16:07] <abchirk> wols the disk is under /dev/disk/somelongname-part[1-4]
[16:08] <abchirk> ah maybe I can try that pogay
[16:08] <dolo> Anyone here know how to fix  "usplash: can't get console font: Invalid argument"
[16:08] <opt1k> wols: nop, don't have tcl dev package
[16:08] <wols> opt1k: and why do you MUST have the newer version?
[16:08] <emorris> TheWanted: no response to anything?
[16:08] <bringatowel> Mortuis, sure, hope it works
[16:08] <wols> opt1k: then how do you expect it to compile anything with tcl?
[16:08] <TheWanted> emorris nop
[16:08] <pogay> abchirk:  so you also can install grub to an external usb-device.
[16:08] <TheWanted> emorris as u said i mean
[16:08] <opt1k> wols: i'm used to having newest versions...
[16:08] <invitado> hola
[16:08] <dolo> IdleOne: I figured if they already have a working one of there own maybe they could tell me how they did it
[16:09] <opt1k> wols: what's the dev package name in synaptic?
[16:09] <taak> where can i ask a question about gnu screen?
[16:09] <invitado> hello
[16:09] <wols> opt1k: that's foolish
[16:09] <wols> taak: here if you run ubuntu
[16:09] <pogay> abchirk: but you have an correct grub, to be able to make the grub operations...
[16:09] <IdleOne> dolo, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=616510 take a look at this post. it is for 7.10 but it should still be valid
[16:09] <taak> ok, i think screen is messing up my TERM a little bit
[16:09] <abchirk> pogay how correct grub? its installed yes?
[16:09] <taak> the color on the shell prompt is lost
[16:09] <emorris> TheWanted: ok, hold down alt+sysrq (print screen), then while holding these, press s, then u, then b in turn. This will sync your disks, remount them as read only, then reboot the system
[16:09] <taak> works ok elsewhere, in editors
[16:10] <opt1k> wols: btw, i can add whatever i want while compiling it from source so, that's another reason why i haven't used the one in synaptic
[16:10] <geirha> taak: you have colored prompt, but not in screen?
[16:10] <invitado> hello
[16:10] <taak> geirha: right
[16:10] <JewStyleKungFu> does anyone know some open source software that I could use to create a disk image of an XP installation?
[16:10] <abchirk> hm pogay when I do grub-install /dev/disk/by-id/mypartition.. he tells me that the disk doesn't have an correct bios drive?
[16:10] <pogay> abchirk: yes grub must be installed correctly. And it seem's to be impossible to install grub via a chrooted installation.
[16:11] <wols> pogay: wrong
[16:11] <emorris> JewStyleKungFu: there is a program called quickstart. It is free, though not open source
[16:11] <pawan> hi
[16:11] <invitado> hi pawan
[16:11] <geirha> taak: ~/.bashrc is the file you want to edit then. Not sure what the best way is, but setting force_color_prompt=yes should work
[16:11] <wols> JewStyleKungFu: man dd
[16:11] <pogay> wols: I never arrived to install grub via a chroot...
[16:11] <invitado> :)
[16:11] <wols> pogay: just cause you can't do it successfully doesn't mean it can't be done. I did a few times
[16:11] <JewStyleKungFu> thanks guys
[16:12] <pogay> wols: but drives I have seen, now when mounting full proc and dev
[16:12] <wols> one needs to bind mount /dev and /proc into the chroot of course
[16:12] <Prose> was wondering, when connecting to a public wi-fi connection (like library or airport), is spoofing a different MAC address frequently a good way to keep privacy high ?
[16:12] <opt1k> wols: ty for help
[16:12] <pogay> wols: good to know, thanks for this information.
[16:12] <invitado> hello
[16:12] <abchirk> or can I build stages manually?
[16:12] <invitado> _:(
[16:12] <invitado> listentome
[16:13] <geirha> taak: A safer way is probably to add a "screen) color_prompt=yes;;" in the case "$TERM" part ...
[16:13] <bastid_raZor> i get some errors like this in my .xsession-error :: (gnome-terminal:17659): Vte-WARNING **: No handler for control sequence `device-control-string' defined.
[16:13] <mndo> hi there!
[16:13] <taak> geirha: the default .bashrc has case "$TERM" in xterm-color) color_prompt=yes;; does that have something to do with it?
[16:13] <pogay> wols: sometimes other problems arrive, so the failurs are not due to chroot, o.k.
[16:13] <mndo> with which id does apache2 run?
[16:14] <geirha> taak: yes, if you double that line and change xterm-color to screen, it should give you color in screen.
[16:14] <deepfriedsquirre> I could install Quake 4 on an installation of xubuntu over the top of an installation of ubuntu (I forgot to format the old partition that had ubuntu installed on it ebfore installing xubuntu), but now that I'm on a plain xubuntu I'm getting: 'The setup program seems to have failed on x86_64/glibc-2.0'
[16:14] <wols> bastid_raZor: since when are warnings errors?
[16:14] <pogay> wols: there are drives, which are not recognized be grub 0.97...
[16:15] <bastid_raZor> wols; true, i have a plethora of other issues in .xsession-error if you care to look.. :: http://pastebin.com/f3579a8b5
[16:15] <wols> pogay: cat /boot/grub/device.map
[16:16] <wols> bastid_raZor: I only see a single error about compiz
[16:16] <dolo> IdleOne: I read all 13 posts the issue was never resolved
[16:16] <pogay> wols:  i had the case where gemetry found the disk, but find didn't find the kernel...
[16:16] <pawan> hi
