[13:14] <Dr_willis> error404notfound,  it has a windows port also. :)
[13:14] <Zzeiss> binarymutant: No joy on that.  "ubuntu-keyring is already the newest version."
[13:14] <ezerhoden> TuxSympathiser: apt-pinning
[13:14] <nightrid3r> !file gnomeConf.sh
[13:14] <binarymutant> Zzeiss, ?!?
[13:14] <TuxSympathiser> ezerhoden, what about if I want to roll back software such as the acpi?
[13:15] <Zzeiss> binarymutant: Yep.  :-(
[13:16] <binarymutant> Zzeiss, oh it's the ppa
[13:16] <transporter> well i just downloaded a huge file that took me 3 hours to download and its a .rar file it is asking for a password what should i do?
[13:16] <ezerhoden> TuxSympathiser: you would use apt-pinning, http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html
[13:17] <RodMcKay> Hi, i'd like to do kinda this: "echo abcdbca | tr -d abc", the result is "d". Ok, that's what tr is supposed to do, but not what I wanted to do. I want "dbca" as the result. Anyone a clue how to do that?
[13:17] <binarymutant> Zzeiss, here try this link http://news.launchpad.net/ppa/adding-a-ppas-key-to-ubuntu
[13:17] <binarymutant> Zzeiss, if you trust that "extra macstuff", the ppa you have, then it's okay to safely ignore
[13:17] <RodMcKay> maybe tr is not the right tool for me
[13:18] <transporter> .rar file asking for a password what should i do?
[13:18] <Zzeiss> binarymutant: Yeah.  No choice in the matter.  I'm running on a macbook unibody.
[13:19] <Dr_willis> transporter,   find the password?   Lots of 'questionable' sites/sources  do that..   some give urls to get the password that lead to xxx/spyware/virus sites so be warey
[13:19] <bullgard4> 'man timer-applet': "To add this applet to a Panel, right-click on the Panel and choose Add to Panel -> Timer." I cannot find a 'Timer' item. Where is it? (The DEB program package timer-applet is installed.)
[13:20] <transporter> Dr_willis thanx but i don't need a virus right now
[13:20] <binarymutant> Zzeiss, that link I gave shows how to add ppa keys
[13:20] <Dr_willis> transporter,  of course thats one reason to use linux. :) its proberly not a problem.. but I would find the contents of that .rar file to be questionable also  -  But its your pc. ;)
[13:21] <yownanymous> don't use windows and you won't get viruses! :D
[13:21] <yownanymous> well
[13:21] <yownanymous> you CAN get linux viruses
[13:21] <yownanymous> but it's very unlikely
[13:21] <transporter> Dr_willis well i just downloaded bach the whole collection
[13:21] <ani_> Hello to all.i have a lap top acer aspire 5630,iam using ubuntu 8.10,where can i find my graphic card driver for ubuntu bc some time it is slow and freez.?
[13:22] <binarymutant> yownanymous, there are 0 virus for linux
[13:22] <yownanymous> ani_: you might need to activate a restricted driver
[13:22] <bullgard4> transporter: lspci
[13:22] <ani_> yownanymous: how can i do that?
[13:22] <yownanymous> binarymutant: actually there are something like around 30
[13:22] <yownanymous> ani_: erm
[13:22] <binarymutant> yownanymous, actually there are 0
[13:22] <yownanymous> ani_: give me a minute
[13:22] <bullgard4> ani_: lspci
[13:22] <yownanymous> binarymutant: Would you like a list?
[13:22] <transporter> bullgard4 should i type that in the terminal?
[13:23] <ani_> yownanymous: ok
[13:23] <binarymutant> yownanymous, there have been like test viri but 0 wild
[13:23] <yownanymous> oh
[13:23] <yownanymous> binarymutant: It's pretty hard to damage a linux system though isn't it?
[13:23] <bullgard4> transporter: I made a mistake. Please excuse me.
[13:24] <binarymutant> yownanymous, idk bad configurations can lead to lots of damage
[13:24] <Dr_willis> yownanymous,  yep. can be..   most of the time - :)
[13:24] <Zzeiss> binarymutant: Yeah, there is.  But it's a joke - it's really a text file of instructions on how to install the virus, with variations for different distributions and things like "if you are under ubuntu, please remember that Canonical does not support this virus"
[13:24] <binarymutant> Zzeiss, lol
[13:24] <Dr_willis> yownanymous,  ive seen more systems trashed by users/admins who 'thought they knew' what they were doing... then any other way

[13:32] <transporter> plus the damn thing took me more than 3 hours to download
[13:33] <jackson> got a slow connection transporter
[13:33] <transporter> jackson: very
[13:33] <Zzeiss> transporter: Maybe that's a good reason to fire it off in it's own virtual machine.  :)
[13:34] <jackson> maybe use the torrent
[13:34] <transporter> Zzeiss: guys will u stop making fun of me and if possible gimme a resolution for the same
[13:34] <jackson> transporter: on the .rar pw?
[13:34] <Dr_willis> transporter,  we dont know how to crack a rar password.. Not sure its even doable..
[13:35] <Dr_willis> transporter,  check the site ya got th file from and it may mention the password
[13:35] <transporter> jackson: there should be a way there is always a way
[13:35] <Zzeiss> transporter: No offense intended.  I wasn't making fun of you.  But if you're worried, yeah, a virtual machine is one way to do it in an isolated way.  Does your hardware have VTx enabled?
[13:35] <mrwes> transporter: so you want resolution to leeching an illegal torrent file that is pasword protected?
[13:35] <transporter> it was downloaded form rapid share
[13:35] <konradee> transporter what is this rar  that you have downloaded ?

[13:43] <LaUd> thanks
[13:44] <xanxor> Hi, I wonder if somebody could help me. I had Ubuntu running on a laptop, which later died due to hardware failure (motherboard, I believe). I took out the hard drive and put it in an external enclosure. I am able to boot from it on the desktop computer in the library, but not from this laptop that my friend leant me. I checked: the BIOS does support boot from USB external hard drive. It starts, GRUB starts, I get the Ubunt
[13:45] <xanxor> If it makes any difference, I had Xubuntu installed but running gnome.
[13:46] <Dusk_> i have a problem...when i try to search a package in synaptics it can't be found..but when i open terminal and write apt-get install smplayer for example, it is installing
[13:46] <break19> xanxor: most likely it's due to changed mount locations... but it's been years since I've actually tried it, and with some of the newer "uuid" type mounts, I could be wrong..
[13:47] <mchelen> xanxor, what error appears?
[13:47] <break19> Dusk_: are you -sure- you have the "all" group selected when searching? otherwise it searches the group you have selected.
[13:47] <xanxor> break19: Yeah, it's a UUID mount. I'm not even sure what that means, do you have any suggestions as to what to do about it? And if it's a mount issue, why is it even loading GRUB and the ubuntu loading screen?
[13:47] <xanxor> mchelen: No error. Screen just goes black.
[13:48] <Dusk_> break19, all is selected yes...when i try to look for packages by Origin it says there's no package in universe, multiverse repos
[13:48] <break19> xanxor: because grub is installed on the mbr.. and the bios knows to load it.. do a google search on grub, disable the splash screen at boot, and see what happens.. any errors are bound to give ya better insight.
[13:48] <break19> dusk: shrugs then
[13:49] <Dusk_> break19, what?
[13:49] <xanxor> break19: By splash screen, do you mean the thing I keep calling the loading screen?
[13:49] <break19> xanxor: yea
[13:49] <mchelen> anyone know how to figure out which repo is causing this? W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY C5E6A5ED249AD24C
[13:49] <xanxor> break19: So if I google grub it will tell me how to disable it? Okay, I'll give that a try. Thanks.
[13:49] <break19> dusk: ask someone else then, i shrugged. meanin "i dunno then"
[13:50] <Guest26627> hi y'all, is there any good desklet or something that can display cpu-load and memory-load like text on the desktop?

[14:23] <nomingzi> I am running Ubuntu 8.10 x64, Gnome is the default desktop env, and i wish to change it to use xfce, how can i do it without reinstall it from xubuntu ? thanks
[14:23] <jatt> I've seen some tutorials and all are extremely complicated for such trivial issue.
[14:24] <nishant_> ni5687
[14:24] <erUSUL> nomingzi: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[14:25] <gordonjcp> jatt: if you're asking how to do it, then how do you know it's a trivial issue?
[14:25] <Lillie201> Hello when using tsclient in full screen mode I am unable to minimize or switch to another ubuntu desktop. the ctrl-alt-arrow keys nor ctrl-alt-enter do not work
[14:25] <jatt> ignore gordonjcp
[14:25] <jatt> oops sorry
[14:25] <exodus_ms> gordonjcp: if if someone knows that 99% of the tutorials 'don't have it right' how can they say no info is available here?
[14:25] <gordonjcp> jatt: it could be one of those things that looks, on the face of it, pretty easy but isn't
[14:25] <gordonjcp> exodus_ms: true
[14:26] <gordonjcp> exodus_ms: however, it looks like jatt has chosen to /ignore me rather than answer a perfectly reasonable question
[14:26] <exodus_ms> gordonjcp: also true
[14:26] <Kennie> hi i was wondering, what does 'Virtual Machine host' option while installing latest ubuntu server do?
[14:26] <gordonjcp> exodus_ms: now, as it happens, I *do* know how to change the ubuntu logo to the gnome foot, but jatt will never know that now
[14:26] <sioux> UnknownFear: that sound card is supported by linux, but the ubuntu kernel natively has the module that manage that card is not compiled. This means that you have do it manualy... not easy task for a newbie
[14:27] <jatt> it's very complicated, it should be a lot easier I think (e.g. some tutorial recommend to download an icon file, resize it with gimp, etc.)
[14:27] <jared1> Would anyone be able to direct me to a bit of help?  Huge Ubuntu newbie here...I think I may have done a bad thing.
[14:27] <gordonjcp> !ask | jared1
[14:27] <exodus_ms> jared1: Please give some details
[14:27] <gordonjcp> jatt: you're probably ignoring me, but it's probably easier than you think
[14:28] <exodus_ms> jatt: ask gordonjcp to guide you through it
[14:28] <Jack_Sparrow> gordonjcp It was intentionally setup that way so that every tom dick and mary didnt take off our logo and pretend it was their release
[14:28] <gordonjcp> Jack_Sparrow: that's pretty much what I figured
[14:29] <Jack_Sparrow> gordonjcp It was a simple trick, but fools many
[14:29] <helo> ho!
[14:29] <gordonjcp> Jack_Sparrow: that doesn't mean it's hard to change, you just need to think a bit
[14:29] <Jack_Sparrow> agreed
[14:29] <jatt> haha
[14:29] <gordonjcp> Jack_Sparrow: now, you may have noticed that quite often I don't answer questions very directly
[14:29] <helo> what is ubuntu's kernel policy? major version upgrades within a stable release?
[14:29] <Jack_Sparrow> gordonjcp YEs I took Kubuntu and made it 100% look like vista
[14:29] <gizmo_> anyone can help me with subtitle..?my subtitle in mplayer doest work..
[14:29] <gizmo_> hey you Jack_Sparrow help me
[14:30] <gordonjcp> Jack_Sparrow: this is because I think it's important for people to discover answers for themselves, even if it takes a push in the right direction
[14:30] <erUSUL> helo: no no major kernel revisions
[14:30] <gizmo_> Jack_Sparrow, help me..my subtitle cant work in my mplayer...!
[14:30] <Jack_Sparrow> gizmo_ Sorry, still waking up and I have no idea on subtitles
[14:30] <helo> err... is 2.6.x-m x is major version?
[14:30] <erUSUL> helo: yes
[14:30] <gizmo_> im using ubuntu!
[14:30] <gizmo_> is this what i got when i d/l ubuntu!
[14:30] <Kanatrell> ubuntu-se
[14:30] <gizmo_> no helper!
[14:31] <gordonjcp> gizmo_: you're welcome to ask for your money back
[14:31] <helo> i'd really like to give 2.6.28 a shot for my intel 945 graphics
[14:31] <Jack_Sparrow> !patience
[14:31] <gordonjcp> Jack_Sparrow: thanks, I was trying to remember that command
[14:31] <gizmo_> gordonjcp, ok..how??
[14:31] <gizmo_> how to get my money?
[14:31] <binarymutant> lol
[14:31] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot
[14:31] <bazhang> !attitude | gizmo_
[14:32] <jared1> I was trying to install JRE so I could load OpenOffice templates and run java in Firefox -- and, without really knowing what I was doing, I blindly googled around some of the forums trying different things.  Long story short, now, I have no root access in terminal and when I try to access the Synaptic Package Manager, I receive this message: "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[14:32] <jared1> E: _cache->open() failed, please report."  Anybody?
[14:32] <erUSUL> gizmo_: you will have to give more details... subtitles have allways worked for me if they are named exactly like the video archive but with srt extension --> eg; file.avi and file.srt on the same folder
[14:32] <Jack_Sparrow> jared1 Did you do what it says?
[14:32] <jared1> I tried
[14:32] <gizmo_> no..i want to keep what gordonjcp say..he said i can get my money back...
[14:32] <syntax\> how do i install FX5500? i mean how do i properly install it. can't seem to have a 1600x1050 resolution
[14:32] <Jack_Sparrow> jared1 Did you do what it says? manually run 'dpkg --configure -
[14:32] <Jack_Sparrow> gizmo_ Please stop
[14:33] <gizmo_> gordonjcp, you one of ubuntu sfatt..i want my money back...or the ubuntu stuff is liar..
[14:33] <oneunder> gizmo_: he was be sarcastic
[14:33] <gordonjcp> jared1: what do you mean you have no root access?
[14:33] <gordonjcp> jared1: is sudo broken?
[14:33] <syntax\> anyone?
[14:33] <helo> gizmo_: just go to google.com and search for "ubuntu refund"
[14:33] <gizmo_> Jack_Sparrow, see.. the gordonjcp start it..he said i can get my money back..
[14:33] <jared1> Maybe?
[14:33] <bazhang> gizmo_, please take chat elsewhere
[14:33] <gizmo_> i know..what ubuntu does now..
[14:33] <Jack_Sparrow> gizmo_ Please stop this line of chat
[14:33] <gizmo_> gordonjcp, why u just quit..
[14:33] <jared1> Jack_Sparrow, "dpkg: requested oeration requires superuser priviliges"
[14:33] <gordonjcp> gizmo_: google for "ubuntu refund"
[14:33] <Jack_Sparrow> jared1 Did you do what it says? manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -
[14:34] <gizmo_> Jack_Sparrow, what?its my stuff to say.. gordonjcp say i can have my money back
[14:34] <oneunder> syntax\: i have never had any luck, ut i know a lot whoe have, with nvidia drivers.  sorry i cant help you out
[14:34] <jared1> okay, wait...I got root again.
[14:34] <jared1> Sorry -- scratch that no root thing.
[14:34] <gordonjcp> jared1: yay
[14:34] <jared1> Ok, it ran the dpkg configure -a
[14:34] <jared1> and I'm back to root.
[14:34] <syntax\> well its a bit weird, when i was using mx4000 (64mb) 1600x1050 was the resolution
[14:35] <Jack_Sparrow> jared1 Ok try what you were doing when you got the error
[14:35] <jared1> Well, I re-opened the Synaptic Pkg Mgr, and it says I have one broken pkg.
[14:35] <oneunder> syntax\: is that what the lcd/card is suppose to run at?
[14:35] <syntax\> then when i changed awhile ago even with xp i only get 1440x900 if i was to choose 1600x1050 the screen is scrolluing.
[14:35] <jared1> It recommended finding it using the broken pkg filter?
[14:36] <syntax\> oneunder: what do you mean?
[14:36] <UnknownFear> I am asking the same question again, but I don't understand. I have an EMU10K1 sound card, but I don't have sound
[14:36] <syntax\> im using asus mw201 lcd panel
[14:36] <oneunder> syntax\: weird.  does knoppix or something of that sort detect the card and display accordingly?
[14:36] <syntax\> it was installed.
[14:37] <syntax\> but max res i get is 1280x1024
[14:37] <xingyuan> where can i find a room for non technical chat?
[14:37] <helo> jared1: man you did something strange ;)
[14:37] <xingyuan> sorryryyyy
[14:37] <jared1> Yes, I'm know :-(
[14:37] <Quadrescence> How can I start my computer up showing information as it starts up as opposed to the graphical bar? (I am not sure of a more proper way to ask this question)
[14:37] <jared1> Okay, it's JRE that's broken according to SPM.
[14:37] <syntax\> and after reboot it goes back at 1024x768
[14:38] <helo> jared1: apt-get purge package-name
[14:38] <syntax\> any suggestions? i mean how do i completely uninstall an nvidia driver?
[14:38] <jared1> ...err -- I hit the "fix broken package" and then "reload"
[14:38] <jared1> I'll quit tinkering and just do as I'm gold now.
[14:38] <jared1> told*
[14:38] <helo> ok thats fine
[14:38] <kroisis> question: is there a way to pass options via command line to "dpkg reconfigure"? I'd like to pass it options to reconfigure ipmasq without having to enter it's little ansi menu...
[14:39] <cdavis> Does anyone know how to set the url bar to single-click in konqueror?
[14:40] <jared1> Hrrm -- I suppose the main question now is...how do I get JRE installed properly?
[14:40] <jared1> Do I need to set certain packages to install?
[14:40] <jared1> Or do I need extensions for OO.ORG/Firefox?
[14:41] <exodus_ms> anyone know why google is banning ubuntu forums
[14:41] <jxander> is there a way to scan my little brother's lan traffic with wireshark so that I could see if he chats with someone who our parents asked him not to chat with?
[14:42] <gordonjcp> exodus_ms: is it?
[14:42] <tatters> I just noticed all my google results say the site could harm my pc
[14:42] <exodus_ms> god-mok: hey, do me a favor type this into google search    ubuntu EMU10K1 sound card     and click on the first link (ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1046885 -) tell me if you get an error

[14:43] <jared1> If I were to click "Mark All Upgrades" and "Apply" -- would all of the JRE-related stuff auto-install or am I hoping for an easy-out?

[14:51] <kroisis> ya'll know that google never broke while george bush was president ;-D
[14:51] <Rukasuzu> What is with google?
[14:51] <erUSUL> SiDi: you have to options add pulseaudio to your session or make gstreamer use alsa directly
[14:52] <Rukasuzu> Says all the sites are bad?
[14:52] <Stroganoff> EVERYONE: http://ixquick.com/ <---- google wrapper still working
[14:52] <Jack_Sparrow> We all know Google is having an issue.. Please stop
[14:52] <erUSUL> SiDi: for the later launch "gstreamer-properties"
[14:52] <SiDi> erUSUL: i don't want to use pulse. I want totem to use alsa

[14:53] <Joelito> hi all, how can I know when I file was created?
[14:53] <UnknownFear> can anyone help me out with getting my emu10k1 sound card to work? it's not working
[14:53] <Pie_565> Hi, is there any way to get a list of every package installed on a fresh install of Server 8.04.1?
[14:54] <kroisis> I wonder if perhaps they are testing the new windows servers over there....
[14:54] <jared1> Okay -- back to report.  Jack_Sparrow, I think all of the mess I created is, at least, resolved.
[14:54] <helo> hah yeah
[14:54] <Jack_Sparrow> jared1 Glad to hear it
[14:54] <SiDi> erUSUL: shouldn't totem-gstreamer use ALSA if i specify it in gstreamer-properties ?
[14:54] <jared1> However, I'm back to square one -- "please install the openoffice.org-java-common package" from OO.ORG
[14:54] <Jeruvy> Pie_565: dpkg -l >installed-poackage
[14:54] <erUSUL> SiDi: yep it should
[14:55] <thaytan> SiDi: gstreamer-properties sets the wrong gconf key
[14:55] <Pie_565> Jeruvy: Thank you]
[14:55] <Eurotrash`> what the hell is going on with google?
[14:55] <Jack_Sparrow> jared1 Sounds like you added some repos to your list..
[14:55] <Eurotrash`> what the hell is going on with google?
[14:55] <jared1> and when I check firefox, no java plugins listed in "addons"
[14:55] <SiDi> thaytan: what do you mean ?
[14:55] <Pie_565> All the "harmful pages"?
[14:55] <thaytan> SiDi: Use the 'sound' preferences applet to set the Movies and Music output to alsa
[14:55] <jared1> Jack_Sparrow, I'm not sure what that means.
[14:55] <Pie_565> Google is doing that to me too
[14:56] <helo> google just updated its protection algorithms so they detect the NSA's backdoors and malicious scripts, which are active on all sites
[14:56] <|newbie|> hello, I have this problem...  my machine can be restarted without a problem... but whenever I shutdown ( either system or button ) it won't start back... last time I got it started again magickally after one day or so after lots of tries... now it has been several weeks... what shall I do? there's allways some disk activity and the leds are on, but not even GRUB... I'm on ubuntu ibex
[14:57] <Pie_565> helo: huh? backdoors / malicious scripts on *every* site? how?
[14:57] <barisha> can i get help with exim4? :)
[14:57] <dinesh372> how to close any program from terminal
[14:57] <Jack_Sparrow> Pie_565 Offtopic
[14:57] <Jeruvy> |newbie|: are you saying pushing the power button does not turn on the pc?
[14:57] <UnknownFear> can i get help with sound please?
[14:57] <|newbie|> yeah, PiercedWolf, google's must have been hacked today
[14:57] <|newbie|> I noticed that
[14:57] <xnmrph> I've got a vfat partition mounted as user,rw etc but the files on it are "owned" by root. If I gksudo nautilus, it still won't let me change the owner to "me." Same as if I try to chown. Any ideas?
[14:57] <SiDi> thaytan: everything is on alsa in gnome-sound-properties and gstreamer-properties, and still, i dont get sound under totem :/
[14:57] <thaytan> SiDi: does the 'test' button work in the sound preferences panel?
[14:58] <Jack_Sparrow> UnknownFear Did you go through the troubleshooting section we linked earlier
[14:58] <|newbie|> I'll check digg for the story about google's loosing control
[14:58] <Jack_Sparrow> |newbie| Please stop the offtopic
[14:58] <SiDi> thaytan: no but it does for OSS
[14:58] <UnknownFear> JackSparrow: yes, but I have no idea what to do about making kernals and all that stuff
[14:59] <xingyuan> i think google is definitely having problems!!
[14:59] <kernel> google..
[14:59] <crazy_monkey> how can I apply changes to sharing options to ALL subfolders? I allow read/write access to the folder and still have to check every single file or it says permission denied
[14:59] <Jack_Sparrow> UnknownFear THat is the problem with unsupported hardware
[14:59] <kernel> goole is..
[14:59] <kernel> =.=..
[14:59] <thaytan> SiDi: erm, that's weird. Maybe it's a pulseaudio thing? (is pulseaudio running?)
[14:59] <hackel> Good, I'm not the only one having problems with Google...  Time to switch to Yahoo!
[14:59] <SiDi> thaytan: no it's not, i took care of it
[14:59] <Pie_565> use #google for google related stuff
[14:59] <UnknownFear> Jack_Sparrow: my sound card IS supported. I used to have Ubuntu and I got it to work, but that was months ago. I'm starting fresh with Ununtu
[14:59] <Jack_Sparrow> crazy_monkey We can give you commands to change that recursively
[14:59] <devendra_> seems to be no problem for local google site - search still works on google.co.in
[15:00] <xnmrph> I've got a vfat partition mounted as user,rw etc but the files on it are "owned" by root. If I gksudo nautilus, it still won't let me change the owner to "me." Same as if I try to chown. Any ideas?
[15:00] <thaytan> SiDi: not sure why you would only have OSS support then
[15:00] <jared1> Okay -- I've consolidated my problem!  Since (I think) JRE is installed now...I would like to know how to install the package into OO.ORG and the plugin into Firefox.
[15:00] <SiDi> thaytan: err actually pulseaudio launched itself at the same time than gnome-sound-properties, i killed it, retrying xD
[15:00] <thaytan> SiDi: ok
[15:00] <Jack_Sparrow> xnmrph First, check the ownership: Open a terminal and type cd /media ...then type... ls -la ...then, do the following, replacing “yourPartition” with the name of the partition (e.g. /sdb1)... sudo chown -R username:username /media/yourPartition  (On a live system you must create a user name first) followed by... sudo chmod -R 755 /media/yourPartition ... Finally, check to see if it worked by doing another ls -la to verify the p
[15:00] <Jack_Sparrow> ermissions are set
[15:01] <SiDi> thaytan: thanks, it works now :)
[15:01] <soundray> xnmrph: FAT does not support ownership in the way that ext3 does.

[15:02] <war10ck> HELLO
[15:02] <Pie_565> is there any plans for HFS/HFS+ (journalled) write access in 9.04?
[15:02] <nj32> why is google giving spyware warning on all sites in search results?
[15:02] <thierryr> sorry i realise this is not really the place, but anyone else has got issues with google ? all my searches fail and i get "this site may harm your computer"
[15:02] <UnknownFear> war10ok: Ask your question :)
[15:02] <ackbahr> Hi guys! I restored my laptop's HD with clonzilla but when I try booting, I get a grub "error 2"; can someone help?

[15:03] <|newbie|> I'll stop the offtopic and turn off my cellular
[15:03] <SiDi> thaytan: as i was saying, thanks it worked (me just crashed :( )
[15:03] <UnknownFear> wak10ck: Follow the link I posted
[15:03] <nj32> thierryr: yeah dude, it's surprising... youtube, google video all affected :D
[15:03] <xnmrph> The user:user ... are both the user I am trying to change to or "from:to" ?

[15:04] <war10ck> all
[15:04] <Jeruvy> ya, I'm going back to lurk until google problems fixed.  this is really OT.

[15:04] <|newbie|> here's the story about google
[15:04] <NeoLogic> what's up with google?
[15:04] <xingyuan> it's hacked
[15:04] <maverick340> looks big
[15:04] <xingyuan> problem
[15:04] <maverick340> :P
[15:04] <thierryr> thanks newie
[15:04] <NeoLogic> freaking crazy
[15:04] <UnknownFear> war10ck: Why will the .deb not work?
[15:04] <war10ck> ;D i didxD
[15:04] <thierryr> newbie
[15:05] <SiDi> xnmrph: if you have a file owned by user1 and which group group1 can acceed, you can change this to user2 by typing chown user2 file, and if you also want to change the group, then chmod user2:group2 file
[15:05] <paulr> new security feature - to stop drive-by-browser bugs on websites, they mark all sites as harmful
[15:05] <xnmrph> SiDi: On this machine, I have one account. Call it "me" I want to change the owner of the files on this vfat partition from "root" to "me" so I can rw them
[15:06] <thaytan> SiDi: good stuff. I'd suggest getting pulseaudio to work and using that as the output, or if you can't, set the 'autospawn=false' bit in /etc/pulseaudio/client.conf
[15:06] <soundray> SiDi: remember xnmrph is trying this on a vfat
[15:06] <war10ck> i dont find a deb. file for america amry!!!!!!!! ;S all link its kinda f*** up
[15:06] <UnknownFear> paulr: instead of drive-by-shooting for people, its drive-by-browsing for websites :P
[15:06] <SiDi> xnmrph: i don't exactly know how it works but you have to set the rights and owner when you mount the partition
[15:06] <xnmrph> If I try to change permissions via "gksudo nautilus", it says I don't have the necessary permissions
[15:07] <soundray> SiDi, xnmrph: please use the link that ubottu gave you
[15:07] <xnmrph> The vfat partition is mounted: auto,user,rw
[15:07] <SiDi> xnmrph: you can't directly change rights on vfat/ntfs partitions as it is not supported. That's why it's recommanded using ext3 instead of vfat, but i assume you got windows and don't have the choice :) Try to find how to give read/write rights to your user instead of root
[15:07] <xnmrph> I've already followed a guide on how to mount the partition.
[15:07] <dinesh372> is ubuntu totally virus free or some antivirus is available
[15:07] <bnovc> i'm trying to install vmware tools in ubuntu and having tons of problems... i wondered if there were any straightforward guides for 8.10... i had to manually edit one of the linux kernel headers and now its dying saying it can't find my X.org version
[15:07] <dayo_> dinesh372: u can try clamwin for linux
[15:07] <geoaxis> is there a way i could search the repository for a file which would be installed by a package, i know the file name but not the package which it comes in
[15:07] <war10ck> my ipod touch its a camera!!! i cant synk musick!!!!!!! ffs
[15:08] <SiDi> xnmrph: well i think you can set the UID of the owner when mounting, and then you should have it set to 1000 instead of 0 (1000 is the user created at install)
[15:08] <dayo_> dinesh372: there are no known viruses for linux, though.
[15:08] <kroisis> ok, and back to my original question: is there a way to pass options via command line to "dpkg reconfigure"? I'd like to pass it options to reconfigure ipmasq without having to enter it's little ansi menu...
[15:08] <ortsvorsteher> !virus | dinesh372
[15:08] <barisha> i need help with exim4!!!!!!!!
[15:08] <UnknownFear> war10ck: The iPod Touch does not work with Linux, unless it is jailbroken. Here is the link to the Linux installation of America's Army Special Forces http://files.filefront.com/Americas+Army+Special+Forces+Linux+Full+Install/;3760475;/fileinfo.html
[15:08] <jared1> Okay -- attempted to install "openoffice.org-java-common_2.0.2-2ubuntu12.7_all.deb" and the official status after downloading is "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libjaxp 1.2-java"
[15:08] <xnmrph> OK, but....I've copied the files from an NTFS partition to the VFAT partition. I didn't think FAT supported rights so I imagined that they would have been lost in the copy (?)
[15:08] <dayo_> barisha: u might want to try #ubuntu-server
[15:08] <gordonjcp> dinesh372: you get antivirus software for Linux, but it's only really useful for scanning files in email and on servers to stop other OSes getting infected
[15:08] <CyD> anyone else notice google being screwed up atm?
[15:08] <Jeruvy> bnovc: its a commone problem.  Make sure your headers are correct, and make sure your vmware tools can find them.  The how-tos are many and decent.
[15:09] <bnovc> every how-to i've found so far is wrong
[15:09] <war10ck> thz
[15:09] <kroisis> CyD  news coming in from everwhere on that one
[15:09] <Jack_Sparrow> CyD yes we all know
[15:09] <UnknownFear> CyD: Yes, we ALL notice it
[15:09] <UnknownFear> war10ck: No problem :P
[15:09] <jared1> Also, to the admin - recommend a MOTD change WRT Google.
[15:09] <Jeruvy> bnovc: no, they work
[15:09] <dinesh372> thanks
[15:09] <SiDi> tba
[15:09] <jared1> That way, they'll stop asking.
[15:09] <soundray> kroisis: man dpkg-reconfigure tells you how
[15:09] <kroisis> soundray thanks man
[15:09] <dinesh372> how to open a virus file as i want to read it
[15:09] <bnovc> Jeruvy: apparently not because i've tried 3 or 4 and they all lead to errors
[15:09] <Jeruvy> bnovc: what error?
[15:10] <bnovc> Jeruvy: why is this a common problem?
[15:10] <kroisis> soundray i must be brain-dead this morning or I'd have thought of that (lol)
[15:10] <xnmrph> If I sudo, though, I am effectively root, yes? So I should be able to change the permissions (?)
[15:10] <kailash> hey i got initramfs at startup....any idea????
[15:10] <SiDi> thaytan: actually pulseaudio doesn't launch on my session. it doesnt seem to be used by default yet on xubuntu installs, and i actually prefer staying on alsa as linux games and wine dont support pulseaudio correctly yet
[15:10] <bnovc> Jeruvy: well i first got an error about my kernel being the wrong version, so i edited version.h ... and now i'm onto the X.org one
[15:10] <UnknownFear> Jack_Sparrow: I replied, but you did not answer. My sound card is supported
[15:10] <wers> in what folder can i find the awn config files?
[15:10] <Jeruvy> bnovc: because most ppl download the wrong headers, vmware tools can't find them..  vmware.com is full of posts who cannot setup the headers properly.
[15:10] <Jack_Sparrow> UnknownFear What sound card make and chipset
[15:10] <bnovc> Jeruvy: i did "apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`"
[15:11] <kailash> hey i got initramfs at startup....any idea????
[15:11] <UnknownFear> I have a CREATIVE EMU10K1 SBB0220 card
[15:11] <soundray> xnmrph: NO, you can't change permissions on a file system that does not have support for it
[15:11] <Jeruvy> bnovc: what how-to did you follow?
[15:11] <war10ck> what u think? itunes for linux soon?
[15:11] <jared1> Jack_Sparrow, am I doing something wrong WRT installing openoffice.org-java-common?  I googled and pulled the package off of packages.ubuntu.com.
[15:11] <xnmrph> How did the permissions get set in the first place then since I used nautilus to copy them (?)
[15:12] <bnovc> Jeruvy: i'm not sure, i've been searching for things like "ubuntu 8.10 vmware-tools"
[15:12] <SiDi> xnmrph: you can't change the permissions on vfat/ntfs partitions. These file systems don't have the same permission system than under linux and we don't know how to modify them
[15:12] <soundray> xnmrph: Linux forces a default permission setting on all files in a FAT
[15:12] <Jack_Sparrow> jared1 Are you trying to get a newer version that from the repo for your release?
[15:12] <SiDi> xnmrph: they're set when you mount the partition
[15:12] <xnmrph> The default is ro/root ?
[15:12] <Jeruvy> bnovc: did you read the instruction included with vmware?
[15:13] <jared1> Well, to be fair -- when I installed 8.10...no JRE at all
[15:13] <SiDi> xnmrph: the default is rw for root and r for the others if i'm not wrong
[15:13] <soundray> xnmrph: now if you could be bothered to read that link, you'd learn how you can change that default.
[15:13] <UnknownFear> war10ck: What do you mean by iTunes or Linux soon?
[15:13] <wips> When I boot I get an error from xorg: (EE) Problem parsing the config file (EE) Error parsing the config file. What do I do ? if I remove the xorg.conf file the problem is gone but then all the colors are wicked.
[15:13] <Gauntlet> is it just me or is everything in google results harmfull to my pc?
[15:13] <war10ck> itunes for linux
[15:13] <Jeruvy> bnovc: did you review the forums.vmware.com?  many common mistakes are highlighted there.
[15:13] <bnovc> Jeruvy: no... i didn't realize it had instructions for it...none are on the CD it mounts
[15:13] <UnknownFear> Gauntlet: YES!! People have been saying this for the past hour
[15:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Gauntlet We know about google thanks
[15:13] <Gauntlet> LOL?
[15:13] <bnovc> i'll search through their help
[15:13] <Gauntlet> LOL
[15:13] <Gauntlet> LOL
[15:13] <FloodBot1> Gauntlet: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:13] <Gauntlet> thats hilarious
[15:13] <UnknownFear> war10ck: Ah.. Who knows?
[15:14] <Jeruvy> bnovc: no, they come with your vmware package  (whichever one)
[15:14] <whisperkiller> this is kind of off topic, but google is being useless and I cannot find the info on the freenode site....how do I register a channel on freenode?
[15:14] <soundray> war10ck: please ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:14] <war10ck> ok
[15:14] <Jeruvy> whisperkiller: see #freenode
[15:14] <bnovc> Jeruvy: so the command i ran to install my headers is wrong?
[15:14] <UnknownFear> Can someone please tell me what the pastes is for? And what does "Enter as punctuation" mean?
[15:14] <Gauntlet> ah, funneh. How do I set custom resolutions in ubuntu?
[15:14] <Jeruvy> bnovc: how would I know :)
[15:14] <whisperkiller> jeruvy I just tried to join #freenode and it did not do anything

[15:15] <KruyKaze> my ethernet card stopped working today on my laptop
[15:15] <Jack_Sparrow> UnknownFear it means dont paste into the channel,  we have a website you can paste into and just give us a link number
[15:15] <SiDi> Gauntlet: system -> preferences -> screen resolution
[15:15] <Jeruvy> whisperkiller: then you cannot, read the faq on freenode.net

[15:15] <kailash> hey aanybody out there to help me????
[15:15] <natrixnatrix89> Hi. I might Say I'm a linux newbie. I just got a problem. After installing Wine and some win software on my pc sound stopped working. Is there any troubleshooting guide to reinstall the drivers etc to get the sound back?

[15:16] <kailash> natrixnatrix89, hey i got initramfs at startup ....any idea???
[15:16] <SiDi> Gauntlet: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and manually add the resolution you want. I *strongly* recommand you to ensure your screen can run it before.
[15:16] <Anon8415> is anyone there pretty decent at ubuntu?
[15:16] <UnknownFear> soundray: Is that for links? I'm not quite following you. Do you mean making a question mark or ending your question?
[15:16] <Jeruvy> bnovc: like I said, installing vmware-tools is a very common issue for many.  You'll need to follow the how tos and deal with the error one by one.
[15:16] <Anon8415> i am a linux n00b and need help with dual booting
[15:16] <jared1> Jack_Sparrow, after fresh installing Ubuntu 8.10 (last week), there was no java in the release.  I run OO and under tools, no JRE.  So that's where I'm at, essentially.
[15:16] <Anon8415> and would really like some help

[15:16] <xnmrph> This, you mean? -> user,auto,fmask=0111,dmask=0000
[15:16] <KruyKaze> can anyone help  me with my network card?
[15:16] <Gauntlet> SiDi yes I tried that but it doesnt have a list in 8.10 apparently.
[15:16] <xnmrph> Yeah, that works. Cheers :-)

[15:17] <SiDi> natrixnatrix89: go to the System Monitor and ensure wineserver.exe is not running (either kill it)

[15:17] <Anon8415> install went great
[15:17] <ortsvorsteher> !enter | Anon8415
[15:17] <soundray> UnknownFear: there is a lot of traffic in this channel. Therefore it is good etiquette not to cause unnecessary scrolling by using the Enter key more than necessary. That's what's meant by the request not to use Enter as punctuation.
[15:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Anon8415 Please  keep your questions all on one line, they are too hard to read the way they are
[15:17] <natrixnatrix89> Hi. Is there a troubleshooting guide if sound has stopped working?
[15:18] <soundray> !sound | natrixnatrix89
[15:18] <SiDi> natrixnatrix89: actually kill any .exe thing in the system monitor. Wine uses alsa by default and as you're using pulseaudio the sound gets locked till you get wine entirely closed (and sometimes you need to kill the wine processes manually because it crashed)
[15:18] <george1502> moin
[15:18] <Jack_Sparrow> natrixnatrix89 HAve you been to #Winehq

[15:18] <Anon8415> i am using a SATA hdd
[15:19] <SiDi> natrixnatrix89: you should also set your sound drivers to "oss" in winecfg (the wine config window), and then use "padsp wine <exename>" instead of "wine <exename>" and you'll have sound on both wine apps and linux apps

[15:24] <dbansal> Hello Everyone!
[15:24] <bnovc> soundray: sounds like that would require internet access
[15:24] <george1502> hi dbansal
[15:24] <dbansal> :-D+
[15:24] <blunderbomb> I m sorry to come on here off topic but i woud figure  someone might know whats going on
[15:24] <dbansal> Hey george
[15:24] <dbansal> what's up?
[15:24] <soundray> bnovc: and you don't have that?
[15:24] <Jeruvy> bnovc: the only tip is make sure you're using a good kernel version (typically with ubuntu this isn't a problem) and verify the locations.  Some kernels simply won't work with vmware tools (see forums.vmware.com)
[15:24] <blunderbomb> google for many hours was show ing a warning on every link it would say "warning, this site may not be safe"
[15:24] <Joelito> hi all...how can I know when a file was created?
[15:24] <UnknownFear> dbansal: Don't use Enter key for punctuation
[15:24] <blunderbomb> anybody heard of this?
[15:25] <bnovc> soundray: the vmware tools install takes down my internet
[15:25] <Dr_willis> Joelito,  ls -l filename should show the info
[15:25] <natrixnatrix89> Thank's SiDi I'll try it
[15:25] <george1502> dbansal: I want to get rid of UTF-8.
[15:25] <bnovc> Jeruvy: well, i'm sure its well written and would say "this version is not supported" (or probably not)... but i think i would have seen that 8.10 doesn't work with vmware all over?
[15:25] <Jack_Sparrow> blunderbomb We all know.. it will be fixed soon
[15:25] <dbansal> Anyone know  how to work nvidia x server?
[15:25] <Joelito> Dr_willis: no, only show modified
[15:26] <Jeruvy> bnovc: it works fine, I use it in shop.
[15:26] <jared1> Any ideas why I can't install openoffice.org-java-common?  Google search for the Error text yields zilch.
[15:26] <dbansal> george1502: what is utf-8?
[15:26] <Dr_willis> Joelito,  thats as good as you re going to get i imagine..
[15:26] <Joelito> oh...well..thanks
[15:26] <blunderbomb> thx jack what was the deal?
[15:26] <soundray> bnovc: I see, that's annoying. Perhaps you can save the error messages to a file on a USB stick and transfer it to your host system via that.
[15:26] <george1502> The ubuntu standard charset.
[15:26] <Jeruvy> bnovc: I even have jaunty running esxi atm.
[15:26] <Jack_Sparrow> jared1 sudo apt-get install pastebinit  && pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list    (Provide Pastebin link in channel)
[15:27] <amischi_> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[15:27] <bnovc> Jeruvy: so, if you're able to install it, then it must be my vmware-tools installer that is the broken part... i do have a pretty old workstation version
[15:27] <Jack_Sparrow> !aptfix
[15:27] <dbansal> and replace it with what?
[15:27] <Jeruvy> bnovc: what version?
[15:27] <amischi_> hi i have problem with dpkg
[15:27] <bnovc> Jeruvy: 5.5.1
[15:27] <Jack_Sparrow> amischi_ Read aptfix above
[15:28] <soundray> amischi_: see what ubottu said ^^
[15:28] <bnovc> i think it is pretty old
[15:28] <netos> http://digg.com/tech_news/Google_may_harm_your_computer_9
[15:28] <UnknownFear> Jack_Sparrow: What does that package do that you linked to jared1?
[15:28] <Jack_Sparrow> netos Stop.. we know
[15:28] <jared1> Jack_Sparrow, copy-pasted your instructions.  Did you need something from?  I wasn't sure what the in parentheses meant.
[15:28] <SiDi> goran__: if noone has the answer here you should have a look at #kubuntu
[15:28] <qdb> hello
[15:28] <Jeruvy> bnovc: that is pretty old, but should still work, the errors are key to a solution however.
[15:28] <Jack_Sparrow> UnknownFear tells me his sources list.. it is a command, not a link
[15:28] <Jack_Sparrow> jared1 if done right , it will return a http link for me
[15:29] <UnknownFear> Jack_Sparrow oh, lol. I tried to use it :P
[15:29] <goran__> goran__, i got the answer.. aptitude install kde.. but i hope that wont broke my system :)
[15:29] <goran__> SiDi, *
[15:29] <jared1> Er.
[15:29] <Jack_Sparrow> UnknownFear look at the pastebin link..
[15:29] <goran__> :D

[15:29] <dbansal> anyone know how to work twin view?

[15:29] <Jack_Sparrow> jared1 look in the term where you typed it
[15:29] <qdb> hello. how can i check whether updates was right updates?  ubuntu 8.10. the update before last update was requiring restart?
[15:29] <ruckerz_> I'm trying to fix my grub installationa. I pretty much get unknown partition when rebooting. I need to know what /dev address my root device is. can I do that from within grub?
[15:29] <Jack_Sparrow> dbansal /join #nvidia
[15:30] <soundray> dbansal: it's explained in a readme in /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx
[15:30] <Jack_Sparrow> ruckerz_ yes
[15:30] <goran__> dbansal, install nvidia-settings.. you have twinview option in there
[15:30] <bnovc> Jeruvy: easier just to upgrade...i've already spent vastly longer chasing error messages than i should have to to install ubuntu
[15:30] <UnknownFear> Jack_Sparrow: Does it provide the pastebin link in the channel?
[15:30] <dbansal> goran_
[15:30] <ruckerz_> Jack_Sparrow what's the keyword?
[15:30] <Jack_Sparrow> UnknownFear No.. in the term for you to paste to a helper

[15:30] <dbansal> when i click save to x configuration file
[15:30] <dbansal> it says unable to remove old backup
[15:31] <dbansal> i have the console working
[15:31] <goran__> dbansal, be sure that you are running nvidia-settings as root (sudo nvidia-settings)
[15:31] <tarelerulz> I was looking up picture and one of the picture come up to link flaged by google as have malware .  I when to the site . How do I find out about malware threats for Linux  and  virus  etc .
[15:31] <UnknownFear> Jack_Sparrow: Oh. You mean the "Poster" field? Do I put who I want to post to? I tried that, than I pasted it into the channel, but it made it look weird
[15:31] <qdb> hello . you cannot say me?
[15:31] <dbansal> i got it through system administration nvida x server settings
[15:31] <Jeruvy> bnovc: you haven't met Murphy yet :)
[15:31] <george1502> bye
[15:31] <goran__> dbansal, run a terminal program, and type sudo nvidia-settings
 as an FYI, google's adware detection system was a bit broken earlier
[15:32] <Deon> a bit broken?
[15:32] <soundray> qdb: we can see you all right. Ask your question again, it's not clear what you meant
[15:32] <Deon> I'd say a lot broken!
[15:32] <dbansal> goran
[15:32] <dbansal> should i pick twin view
[15:32] <dbansal> or x screen
[15:32] <jcapinc> GOOGLE IS BACK UP
[15:32] <Deon> And although it's shameless advertising, anyone want to make the 17 year old kid from Melbourne's day by digging his story on it? xD
[15:33] <Jeruvy> who cares, switched to yahoo :)
[15:33] <goran__> dbansal, you said u want twin view, so pick that :)
[15:33] <dbansal> do you know the difference?
[15:33] <qdb> do you remember the last update ? ok? then the previous? ok? it did require restart, right?
[15:33] <dbansal> between twin view and seperate x screen?
[15:33] <bnovc> Jeruvy: huh?
[15:33] <Deon> And although it's shameless advertising, anyone want to make the 17 year old kid from Melbourne's day by digging his story on it? xD
[15:33] <dbansal> :-D
[15:33] <dbansal> i have no clue

[15:33] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[15:33] <Jeruvy> bnovc: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murphys_law
[15:33] <soundray> qdb: yes, version upgrades usually require rebooting.
[15:34] <UnknownFear> dbansal: Please, do not use the Enter key as punctuation
[15:34] <kailash> anyone here knows about getting stucked initramfs during startup....
[15:34] <dbansal> I dont understand what that means?
[15:34] <bnovc> Jeruvy: oh, heh, thought you were referring to a person here at first
[15:34] <jared1> Got it -- lemme know if you need that pastebin link again, Jack_Sparrow.
[15:34] <qdb> i say about this concrete update
[15:34] <_cb> I know how to program in windows (Delphi) trying to figure out how to program in Linux. Guess it is a different paradigm.  Would like to ouput to a GUI and connect to the Firebird database. Suggestions?
[15:34] <BonezAI> anyone know what is going on with firefox and google... every single site says it may harm my computer and it wont let me browse
[15:34] <qdb> soundray
[15:34] <Sabayon> how to know the image's info from terminal?
[15:34] <dbansal> nevermind, i see what you mean
[15:34] <goran__> dbansal, well i recommend twinview.. if u select separate screen i wont be able to move windows from one screen to another...
[15:34] <soundray> dbansal: keep what you're saying on ONE line
[15:34] <UnknownFear> dbansal: Say what you want on one line only please
[15:34] <Jeruvy> bnovc: he lurks here :)
[15:34] <dbansal> sorry about
[15:34] <tarelerulz>  LorenXo, when I got to look link to check out the site it says it don't work try again in 30 seconds.  How would I tell if I had one in the first place , malware , virus ,etc
[15:34] <bnovc> Jeruvy: that's especially true when you use software written by people who aren't paid, since they don't consider nearly as many error cases :(
[15:34] <jcapinc> try again google was having issues
[15:34] <Popz> LorenXo sucks
[15:35] <soundray> qdb: what do you mean by "this concrete update"
[15:35] <_cb> BonezAI I think it is fixed. Not occuring anymore
[15:35] <soundray> ?
[15:35] <MoLoot> BonezAI, what is the exact message?
[15:35] <qdb> the update before the last
[15:35] <Jeruvy> bnovc: that is such a load of crap, I cannot even begin.
[15:35] <BonezAI> _cb, yes it is fixed now, thanks
[15:35] <bnovc> Jeruvy: so far i've found out that i had to delete my previous ubuntu install because you'll just get errors trying to upgrade 7.04 (completely awful this happens) and that my vmware version doesn't work with this ubuntu version (of course again doesnt say so directly and spits errors)
[15:35] <dbansal> ok, i picked twin view however, when i click apply, the whole window is spanned across my two monitors. But, my other monitor just looks horrible, it is red and blury
[15:35] <Jack_Sparrow> jared1 You need to edit your sources list, may are rem'd out
[15:35] <soundray> qdb: can you please describe your problem, the whole story, from the beginning
[15:36] <Jeruvy> bnovc: you should have upgraded sooner, but you still can, change your repo's back to the legacy and upgrade, change to current and upgrade again.
[15:36] <goran__> dbansal, select correct resolution for that monitor
[15:36] <jared1> Jack_Sparrow, how do I do this?
[15:36] <qdb> if it did not require update then that was hack!
[15:36] <fermio91> i, ive a problem with firefox in ubuntu, when i was on a chat on web, this should recharge the page to show me the other account's reply but my firefox don't recharge automatically the chat... someone can help me?
[15:36] <escandalo> algun españolito?
[15:37] <soundray> qdb: the problem, please
[15:37] <Popz> si senor
[15:37] <Jack_Sparrow> jared1 please /join #Jack_Sparrow
[15:37] <bnovc> Jeruvy: i shouldn't have to modify my repositories to be able to upgrade (or if i do it should tell me to do so not error about me having a network problem)....but anyway i accept the failures and deleted it and got 8.10
[15:37] <soundray> !es | escandalo
[15:37] <Sabayon> how to know the image's info from terminal?
[15:37] <dbansal> the correct resolution is set however, i dont understand why it is red
[15:37] <soundray> Sabayon: what type of image?
[15:37] <Myles> hi
[15:37] <Myles> investigating
[15:37] <goran__> dbansal, me neither :|
[15:38] <qdb> please give me ability to check the updates that was with a web site!
[15:38] <Popz> LorenXo needs to reboot
[15:38] <Jeruvy> bnovc: actually I think the package maintainers said you 'should' since this 'process' is well documented, see ubuntuforums.org or packages.ubuntu.com
[15:38] <Popz> he'll be back later
[15:38] <soundray> qdb: what's your first language?
[15:38] <qdb> tatar
[15:38] <qdb> and what is your?
[15:38] <qdb> english?
[15:39] <UnknownFear> Jack_Sparrow: am I able to join your chat aswell?
[15:39] <bnovc> Jeruvy: having to chase errors about not being able to find files isn't well documented in the UI ... and when i searched for them it brought up a bunch of crap before.....anyway vmware 6.5 is ready to install
[15:39] <dbansal> thanks goran
[15:39] <dbansal> maybe if i restart
[15:39] <dbansal> do you think if i restart that will change anything?
[15:39] <Sabayon> soundray: almost jpegs, sometimes pngs
[15:40] <escandalo> hi!
[15:40] <trmanco> need some help on adding a ppa! the package does no get authenticated, even though I add the key. any ideas?
[15:40] <Jeruvy> bnovc: again, is so OVER-documented it isn't even funny...but many folks are ill-prepared for kernel-header installation.  Blame VMware corp for this.
[15:40] <Jack_Sparrow> UnknownFear sure for a sec..
[15:40] <goran__> dbansal, try restarting X.. ctrl + alt + backspace, but first save changes to X config file
[15:40] <UnknownFear> escandalo: welcome, do you have a question
[15:40] <ScoTTie> anyone know why a fresh install of 8.10 would be hammering my router non stop ?
[15:40] <ScoTTie> 8.10 server*
[15:40] <soundray> Sabayon: there are jpeginfo and pnginfo programs in Ubuntu. You will have to install extra packages to get these utilities.
[15:41] <escandalo> no thanks.  at the moment...

[15:52] <Jeruvy> KruyKaze: I have no idea what you are looking at, explain.
[15:52] <Dr_willis> paul68,  vnc over the internet - is best done with a ssh tunnle. vnc can be insecure.
[15:52] <rraj_be> wll
[15:52] <qdb> who does use 8.10 and installed all updates do you remember did the previous of the last update require system restart?
[15:52] <Dr_willis> !vnc | paul68

[15:54] <KruyKaze> i am using my cell connection now
[15:54] <Jeruvy> KruyKaze: sounds like you've lost your nic.  Since your static confirm you actually have an IP still.
[15:54] <jj_> sorry i wasnt so specific, i been using ubuntu for some time
[15:54] <soundray> Eritrean: you could try abiword
[15:54] <jj_> and i just wanted to know how to added schemes lol
[15:54] <Eritrean> besides I need to format
[15:54] <Boomking> ortsvorsteher: thats alot ill give it a try
[15:54] <ortsvorsteher> :)
[15:54] <KruyKaze> Jeruvy: how?

[15:55] <qdb> who does use 8.10 and installed all updates do you remember did the previous of the last update require system restart?
[15:55] <Guest11056> i get please enable wireless extensions
[15:55] <Guest11056> how do i enable them
[15:55] <Guest11056> ?
[15:55] <jj_> for example boomking,,, goto ubuntu-art.org
[15:55] <Cpplus> for example www.diablo3.com  the character section
[15:55] <Jeruvy> KruyKaze: then start troubleshooting the box.
[15:55] <jj_> and see there are schemes...
[15:55] <jj_> not themes
[15:55] <jj_> lol
[15:55] <jj_> i dunno where to add them :(
[15:55] <Mnemonic69> kernel update required reboot
[15:55] <Eritrean> I will give it a try although I would have liked it if could work in all Open Office programs and the Gimp  --- really really necessary
[15:55] <Boomking> jj_: oooooooo lol
[15:55] <soundray> qdb: there is no such thing as "the previous to last update". Packages are being updated all the time.
[15:55] <KruyKaze> Jeruvy: oh it was my coworker was using it a min before i plugged mine
[15:56] <qdb> hm
[15:56] <KruyKaze> Jeruvy: he was using windows
[15:56] <soundray> qdb: some package updates require reboots (notably kernel updates). Others don't.
[15:56] <Guest11056> anyone knows how i can enable wireless extensions ?
[15:56] <Cpplus> could anyone shed some light on how to improve flash performance or some version that gives best performance? And please tryout the character section of www.diablo3.com thx!
[15:56] <Jeruvy> KruyKaze: did he fix it for you?
[15:56] <KruyKaze> Jeruvy:  usually it would show that it's trying to connect at least
[15:56] <qdb> where are kernel files ? in /boot ?
[15:57] <Jeruvy> KruyKaze: open a terminal and type 'ifconfig', pastebin the output
[15:57] <KruyKaze> Jeruvy: no he umplugged his and left i just plugged mine in
[15:57] <Eritrean> Maybe someone who installed Arabic font can help me here (the procedures might be similar)
[15:57] <KruyKaze> ok
[15:57] <soundray> qdb: you can get a list of the files in your current kernel package with 'dpkg -L linux-image-$(uname -r)
[15:57] <KruyKaze> Jeruvy: ifconfig or ipconfig?
[15:58] <PsynoKhi0> hi, is ufw much more advisable than Firestarter to setup iptables?
[15:58] <Jeruvy> KruyKaze: also find /etc/network/interfaces and pastebin that also
[15:58] <coddy2> hello
[15:58] <gordonjcp> Eritrean: Ubuntu comes with quite a lot of fonts
[15:59] <coddy2> yep
[15:59] <ortsvorsteher> !hello | coddy2
[15:59] <KruyKaze> http://paste.ubuntu.com/112120/
[15:59] <soundray> Eritrean: try exiting OOo, then move the config directory to a backup location ('mv ~/.openoffice.org
[15:59] <gordonjcp> Eritrean: check it hasn't already got the font you're looking for
[15:59] <coddy2> thanks
[15:59] <jj_> anyone know how to remove ati's proprietary driver?
[15:59] <soundray> Eritrean: try exiting OOo, then move the config directory to a backup location ('mv ~/.openoffice.org2 ~/ooo-backup'). Then restart OOo
[16:00] <coddy2> Ubuntu's much better than slow old vista
[16:00] <shaunalynn> I'm trying to mount an image as an hfs+ filesystem on ubuntu. The cp error is "wrong fs type" and dmsg is telling me that it is "unable to find hfs+ superblock." Do you all have any idea what's up?
[16:00] <soundray> gordonjcp: Eritrean gets mixed font displays in OOo (fine in other programs)
[16:00] <ortsvorsteher> !ot | coddy2
[16:00] <KruyKaze> http://paste.ubuntu.com/112122/
[16:00] <coddy2> ok
[16:00] <jefones> oi pessoal
[16:00] <Dr_willis> !hfs
[16:00] <Dr_willis> Hmmm can linux do hfs+ ? or just hfs?
[16:01] <laufer_mnm> if apt-cache showpkg subversion gives me 1.4 and 1.5, and 1.4 is installed, how can i install or upgrade to 1.5? apt-get upgrade doesnt upgrade it
[16:01] <soundray> Dr_willis: it can do hfs+, but no journalling
[16:01] <KruyKaze> Jeruvy: did it work?
[16:01] <Jeruvy> KruyKaze: your eth1 has a address and is erroring like nuts.  It's a private address not public.  Your config is actually not in your /etc/network/interfaces, some public info seems to be commented out.
[16:01] <war10ck> the america army dosnt work.... plaese give a DEB file
[16:02] <kunwon1> laufer_mnm, you shouldn't cross-post to #debian and #ubuntu, you have one or the other. Also, your IP is blacklisted for brute force attacks, you should get that taken care of.
[16:02] <KruyKaze> Jeruvy: eth1 is my cellphone
[16:02] <qdb> can i check my some main files with other people's system? with md5 sum?
[16:02] <Jeruvy> KruyKaze: so what device is supposed to get an address?
[16:02] <jj_> i searched for an hour trying to find how to uninstall ati's new proprietary driver 9.1, and i looked in apt-get remove list, cant seem to find it to remove it.
[16:02] <KruyKaze> eth0
[16:02] <Jeruvy> KruyKaze: then uncomment your config in /etc/network/interfaces
[16:03] <KruyKaze> i am using my cell now to communicate
[16:03] <gordonjcp> soundray: ah, missed that bit
[16:03] <KruyKaze> ok and reboot?
[16:03] <Jeruvy> KruyKaze: then ifdown eth0, ifup eth0
[16:03] <dour> http://paste.ubuntu-fr-secours.org/src-9842
[16:03] <gordonjcp> soundray: OOo is not something I ever use ;-)
[16:03] <dour> here is the pastbin
[16:03] <KruyKaze> Jeruvy: what does that mean?
[16:03] <laufer_mnm> kunwon1, sry but @debian nobody answered so i tried here, because ubuntu normaly faster answers. brutforce, why?
[16:03] <KruyKaze> Jeruvy: add lines?
[16:03] <dour> someone can help me?
[16:03] <jj_> dour, i been trying too lol
[16:03] <qdb> may be write list of md5s of files to a file and then make md5 of that file both people and check them?
[16:04] <PsynoKhi0> jj_: how did you install them?
[16:04] <jj_> the driver?
[16:04] <soundray> gordonjcp: aren't you the lucky one. :)
[16:04] <kunwon1> laufer_mnm, your ip address is listed on a blacklist for brute force attacks, go here and investigate http://www.dronebl.org/
[16:04] <dour> ok
[16:04] <PsynoKhi0> yes
[16:04] <Jeruvy> KruyKaze: no, just uncomment (remove the hash '#) so that the config is read.  Then in a terminal 'ifdown eth0', then if successful, 'ifup eth0'
[16:04] <jj_> sudo sh  "and the binary file"
[16:04] <jj_> i installed it manually
[16:04] <|TheBarold|> anyone wanna help troubleshoot installing Gnomad2
[16:04] <laufer_mnm> intressting, thx for info.
[16:04] <KruyKaze> ok
[16:05] <jj_> if i were had used envy it would been alot better lol
[16:05] <jj_> but i wanted the new 1 ;)
[16:05] <jj_> lol
[16:05] <KruyKaze> ifdown: interface eth0 not configured
[16:05] <KruyKaze> Jeruvy: ifdown: interface eth0 not configured
[16:06] <rdw200169> KruyKaze, it means there's not definition of eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces
[16:06] <qdb> soundray does your system also use /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-11-generic ?
[16:06] <PsynoKhi0> jj_: sudo dkms remove -m fglrx -v 8.573 --all
[16:06] <Jeruvy> KruyKaze: repaste your interface file
[16:06] <orudie> hi! how can install this ? lenny version of libc6 (2.7.18)
[16:06] <KruyKaze> ok 1 min
[16:06] <|TheBarold|> installed Gnomad2 from .deb and still get an error "gnomad2: error while loading shared libraries: libmtp.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
[16:06] <jj_> i installed... 9.1
[16:06] <soundray> qdb: yes
[16:06] <qdb> is its md5 a486ab60d59422845c94c422ffc7a2b3 ?
[16:06] <laufer_mnm> kunwon1, thx again. we had this ip since december, so this was not from our host.
[16:06] <PsynoKhi0> jj_: yep
[16:07] <kunwon1> laufer_mnm, np
[16:07] <jj_> ok lets see if this works lol
[16:07] <qdb> but there are so many files to check
[16:07] <laufer_mnm> kunwon1, any idea for my problem ... need to fix our svn?
[16:07] <soundray> qdb: no, it isn't -- but then I'm on 64bit
[16:07] <qdb> i am not
[16:08] <soundray> qdb: what are you worried about?
[16:08] <rdw200169> |TheBarold|, hm.. a package search came up w/ only this option for intrepid: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/libmtp-dev
[16:08] <jj_> there is no file fglrx in my list even :(
[16:08] <kunwon1> laufer_mnm, you probably have svn meta-package installed, it will probably involve removing that metapackage and installing the 1.5 package
[16:08] <KruyKaze> http://paste.ubuntu.com/112129/
[16:08] <KruyKaze> Jeruvy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/112129/
[16:09] <jj_> thanks for the help though
[16:09] <Jeruvy> KruyKaze: comment out 'auto eth0', sorry should have noticed that.
[16:09] <|TheBarold|> rdw200169: thanks, do you think that would work for Hardy as well? sorry forgot to mention that
[16:09] <PsynoKhi0> jj_: are you sure it's even installed at all?
[16:09] <eut> i'm having trouble trying to change the brightness level on my laptops monitor. in the past whenever the fn keys werent supported i'd just echo 100 > /proc/acpi/video/VID/LCD0/brightness and it would go to the maximum level. but thats not working for me now. any ideas?
[16:10] <qdb> that by update my system was "feed"ed with some spywared files by replacing the right update server.... soundray
[16:10] <rdw200169> |TheBarold|, Hardy came up w/the same: libmtp.dev
[16:10] <jj_> yep
[16:10] <soundray> qdb: what makes you think that?
[16:10] <|TheBarold|> rdw200169: will tyr it
[16:10] <rdw200169> |TheBarold|, whoops, libmtp-dev
[16:10] <eut> i'm experiencing this problem only after upgrading to 8.10
[16:10] <jj_> i i have checked fglrxinfo

[16:11] <aar> Hi, I'm a bit concerned that the viruses / trojans I receive by e-mail might be running through wine (they might not do too much harm as they are written for win32 systems, but I don't want them in my box at all). What would be the best way to prevent wine from running automatically. E.g. can I get the system to ask for confirmation before a wine application runs?
[16:11] <Jeruvy> !pastebin | jj_
[16:11] <qdb> i do not want say that many little reasons it is hard and paranoic-looking
[16:11] <|TheBarold|> rdw200169: crapola....opened it with .deb installer and it says "ame version already installed"
[16:11] <konfused1> hi all im having a problem with the 8.10 livecd dropping to busy box during bootup, i have a nvidia 750a chipset mb. any suggestions?
[16:11] <KruyKaze> Jeruvy: ok
[16:11] <jj_> !pastebin
[16:11] <jj_> dunno never used that
[16:11] <jj_> lol
[16:11] <rdw200169> |TheBarold|, alright, try running the program as root (sudo)
[16:12] <soundray> qdb: if you're really seriously concerned, the best thing you can do is to get an install CD from a location you trust (Shipit perhaps) and do a fresh installation.
[16:12] <jj_> was trying to paste something
[16:12] <qdb> thanks
[16:12] <soundray> qdb: I don't believe you've been hacked in this way, though -- it's too unlikely.
[16:12] <KruyKaze> Jeruvy: do i have to reboot now?
[16:12] <aleksandr> hi! help me please to change system out system from Xv to X11 in tvtime.
[16:13] <eighthour> anyone know of a good how to for setting up netzero in ubuntu....third computer in a month i've worked on that used dialup still....i would really like to figure this out....
[16:13] <riley_dt> anyone know which apt-get package I should get to get the man pages for "semop"?
[16:13] <Jeruvy> KruyKaze: no, just do ifdown eth0, no errors.. then ifup eth0.
[16:13] <|TheBarold|> rdw200169: i know i have libmtp.so.7 installed, seen that in synaptic, you would think it would cross reference
[16:13] <aar> Hi, I'm a bit concerned that the viruses / trojans I receive by e-mail might be running through wine (they might not do too much harm as they are written for win32 systems, but I don't want them in my box at all).

[16:14] <bazhang> aar, install clamav
[16:14] <rdw200169> |TheBarold|, I only searched for libmtp.so; interesting that libmtp.so.6 is missing
[16:14] <rdw200169> |TheBarold|, that search came up dry... interesting.
[16:14] <aar> bazhang, I've already got it, but that doesn't provide realtime protection.
[16:14] <Jeruvy> KruyKaze:  ok, then your static settings are wrong.
[16:14] <bazhang> aar, realtime protection for what? are you connecting the wine apps to a windows box?
[16:15] <PsynoKhi0> jj_: are you on 32 or 64 bits?
[16:15] <jj_> 64
[16:15] <Jeruvy> KruyKaze: but lets take another peek at /etc/network/interfaces once more
[16:15] <KruyKaze> i reverified my settings
[16:15] <konfused1> hi all im having a problem with the 8.10 livecd dropping to busy box during bootup, i have a nvidia 750a chipset mb. any suggestions?
[16:15] <PsynoKhi0> jj_: I'd appreciate if you asked prior to sending PMs
[16:15] <Titan21> Hi there... got a problem with my Touchpad with 8.04 on my Eee 701. synclient reports it's working, but my mouse does't move, ... and in the touchpad settings sensitivity is set to it's lowest, and I can't raise it... Think got something to do with Xorg.conf, .. would that be right?
[16:16] <jj_> yes i am sorry about that
[16:16] <KruyKaze> Jeruvy: it seems like my card is not even detecting the ethernet cable
[16:16] <jj_> didnt know if you left
[16:16] <aar> bazhang, realtime protection against win32 malware that might auto-execute, or which I might run believeing it to be something it is not. clamav works for on-demand scan, but not as a real-time AV solution.
[16:16] <riley_dt> can anyone tell me which package semop.3 man page isin?
[16:16] <qdb> another thought is that files may be are probably replaced by physical access, soundray, today i was not at home and my server was not working near two hours maybe somebody has switched it off to access. i do not remember exactly whether autostart was configured in bios :(  . it would be good if i could check files with other peoples not reinstalling whole system for some suspend
[16:16] <eut> riley_dt, apt-file find semop
[16:16] <Jeruvy> KruyKaze: could be.  Cables go bad all the time :)
[16:16] <bazhang> aar, infect what though?
[16:16] <riley_dt> thanks eut!
[16:16] <eut> riley_dt, sure
[16:17] <eut> any ideas about my brightness issue?
[16:17] <|TheBarold|> rdw200169: just installed libmtp-dev with root gdebi, still get same error
[16:17] <PsynoKhi0> jj_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/112133/ long command, careful
[16:17] <jj_> alright thx
[16:17] <aar> bazhang, since wine creates a layer between win32 commands and linux commands, some of the malware funtiosn will be "translated", so the effects might not be as dire as in a win32 box, but you could find that the virus spreads itself through the /usr directory, for instance.
[16:18] <KruyKaze> Jeruvy: i'll try another cable
[16:18] <aar> bazhang, I was thinking more along the lines of something that would prompt a confirmation every time a win32 application is run, so I can confirm whether it is something I want to run or not.

[16:19] <PsynoKhi0> is firestarter a bad option to setup firewall rules?
[16:19] <rdw200169> |TheBarold|, i'm sorry, but i don't know :( this looks like something ubuntu packages can't fix
[16:19] <dougl> hikenboot, hey - thanks for the info - checking google now :)
[16:19] <Mnemonic69> wine, xwine, cross-over, virtual machine?
[16:19] <rdw200169> PsynoKhi0, the Firestarter firewall is excellent
[16:19] <erUSUL> PsynoKhi0: depends on your needs
[16:19] <|TheBarold|> rdw200169: it weird, i have installed it from .deb, from apt-get and from source, neither works
[16:19] <aar> dougl, and FreeDOS for DOS applications
[16:20] <rdw200169> |TheBarold|, yes, that library seems to be missing completely
[16:20] <erUSUL> aar: or DosBox ;P

[16:20] <aar> erUSUL, yup
[16:20] <rdw200169> atlef, don't tell me!, tell PsynoKhi0

[16:20] <jj_> it didnt work..
[16:20] <|TheBarold|> rdw200169: thanks for the help, i'll keep working on it
[16:21] <|TheBarold|> let you know if i figure out a fix or not
[16:21] <atlef> rdw200169: well, firestarter is not a firewall, it is only a gui for iptables
[16:21] <CAiRO__> how can i compile a kernel the ubuntu way? i've found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile but it shows nowhere the commands to start the compilation if youre _not_ using the sources from git
[16:21] <|TheBarold|> rdw200169: or do have any other recommendations for a Nomad mp3 player file browser?
[16:22] <KruyKaze> Jeruvy: i'll try another plug
[16:22] <KruyKaze> Jeruvy: brb
[16:22] <rdw200169> atlef, please, i'm not an idiot; i use firestarter, and i've build firewalls from scratch; it's easier to say 'firewall' than to say 'an abstraction layer above iptables'
[16:22] <war10ck> join #server homelien.no

[16:22] <war10ck>  /join #server homelien.no
[16:22] <PsynoKhi0> rdw200169: ok, because a few posts on the ubuntu forums advised against it due to its age
[16:23] <atlef> rdw200169: ok, but it still is not a firewall
[16:23] <Titan21> Hi there... got a problem with my Touchpad with 8.04 on my Eee 701. synclient reports it's working, but my mouse does't move, ... and in the touchpad settings sensitivity is set to it's lowest, and I can't raise it...

[16:24] <PsynoKhi0> from*
[16:25] <rdw200169> PsynoKhi0, well, in order to appease atlef, let me put it this way: Firestarter implements a very adequate iptables configuration that is reliable, safe, and highly configurable; consequentially, the features it provides in the GUI are easy to implement and change; firestarter is the only easy to use package that i know of that both supports internet connection sharing and port-blocking/opening

[16:28] <riley_dt> anyone know how to get su to work so I can type su username instead of using sudo
[16:28] <atlef> jegHegy: well, you need the virtualbox kernel files for your installed kernel, and that is always released later on.

[16:29] <riley_dt> i dunno just a habit thing
[16:29] <aar> riley_dt, try sudo su
[16:29] <JonnyDY2J> anyone know how to setup squid
[16:30] <riley_dt> aar ya i think I can make a macro for that thanks:)
[16:30] <atlef> Benj79: do you have nvidia-settings installed?
[16:30] <yoyoned> riley_dt: it can be done, but the channel ops don't like that advice being given in this room
[16:30] <aar> riley_dt, NP
[16:30] <ortsvorsteher> !squid | JonnyDY2J
[16:30] <yoyoned> !noroot
[16:30] <Dr_willis> last i used squid thehomepage/docs were pretty straight forward.

[16:30] <riley_dt> I actually work at red hat
[16:30] <JonnyDY2J> thanks ortsvorsteher
[16:30] <riley_dt> but only upstream projects
[16:30] <ortsvorsteher> :)
[16:30] <Dr_willis> there definatly no need to do 'sudo su'  either.   sudo -s, or sudo -i will suffice
[16:31] <Benj79> atlef: i enabled it through system->hardware drivers menu
[16:31] <riley_dt> but i wanted to try out ubuntu
[16:31] <riley_dt> looks like you guys have done a real nice job

[16:32] <Dr_willis> aar,  and and some other settings get set
[16:32] <Benj79> k, i'll try it
[16:32] <aar> Dr_willis, ok
[16:32] <riley_dt> jj_ I dont work on fedora much
[16:32] <KruyKaze> Jeruvy: ok
[16:32] <gerber> Connection to host "gerber:5900" was closed, i got this error what this means ?

[16:36] <ftab> is there any Sega and Nitendo emulator for Linux?
[16:36] <gerber> Connection to host "<IP_ADDRESS>:5900" was closed.
[16:36] <jj_> PsynoKhi0: the open driver is still alot more stable, while i do get 3d and etc with this, i cannot run... recordmydesktop, and when compiz is on, i cannot view videos in VLC
[16:36] <ftab> if yes then which one is famous?
[16:36] <tenang> hello
[16:36] <aar> Dr_willis, (just out of curiosity) if the command -s is the equivalent of sudo, why is sudo -s considered good syntax, but not sudo su?
[16:36] <Titan21>  Hi there... got a problem with my Touchpad with 8.04 on my Eee 701. synclient reports it's working, but my mouse does't move, ... and in the touchpad settings sensitivity is set to it's lowest, and I can't raise it... And also if I go to the edge of my touchpad my mouse slowly moves...
[16:36] <PsynoKhi0> jj_: ok
[16:36] <tenang> got a question, why is my ubuntu always slow when i do a dual boot install?
[16:36] <aar> Dr_willis, sorry -- the equivalent of su I meant
[16:36] <jj_> PsynoKhi0: i installed 9.1 in hopes it might be better than the last....
[16:37] <PsynoKhi0> jj_: it is
[16:37] <tenang> yep
[16:37] <ftab> is there any Sega and Nitendo emulator for Linux?
[16:37] <jj_> i have a mobility 3xxx
[16:37] <PsynoKhi0> jj_: well for me at least
[16:37] <liam> anyone?
[16:37] <tenang> does that mean i have to unmount my drives and remount in ubuntu?
[16:37] <jj_> and it has issues :(
[16:37] <gerber> can connect remote desktop ?
[16:37] <atlef> Benj79: hope you get it to work
[16:37] <CAiRO__> does somebody know where i can get the desktop kernel with pae enabled?
[16:37] <cirv9> hey! is there an easy way to remove packages from the Ubuntu installation? (before they are installed) I dont want OO.org, gnome games etc..
[16:37] <Dr_willis> aar,  that site details it .. one reason is sudo su is redundant. and may not set the settigns properly on some disrtos.
[16:38] <gerber> can't connect remote desktop ?
[16:38] <jj_> PsynoKhi0: what vid card do you have?
[16:38] <liam> hey just installed ubuntu 7.04 but having trouble upgrading to latest ubuntu. how can i do this?
[16:38] <PsynoKhi0> jj_: 4830 here, no flicker with xv and compositing (not 100% perfect but at least no flicker)
[16:38] <aar> Dr_willis, ok thanks
[16:38] <Dr_willis> aar,  'bad security practice' also :)
[16:38] <ftab> is there any Sega and Nitendo emulator for Linux?
[16:38] <yoyoned> cirv9: use the alternate install cd
[16:38] <Dr_willis> ftab,  yes.
[16:38] <jj_> PsynoKhi0: if you have compiz running... are you able to watch video in vlc?
[16:38] <Titan21> liam, when you kust installed 7.04, why dont you just use the newest version?
[16:38] <gerber> can connect remote desktop ?
[16:38] <cirv9> yoyoned: thanks
[16:38] <gerber> can't connect remote desktop ?
[16:38] <PsynoKhi0> jj_: yes but they're kind of cropped
[16:39] <ftab> Dr_willis: which one?
[16:39] <liam> yeah thats what i want to do
[16:39] <jj_> PsynoKhi0: on top?
[16:39] <liam> i want to dwonload the newest upgrade
[16:39] <PsynoKhi0> jj_: yep
[16:39] <jj_> PsynoKhi0: same... before it flickered
[16:40] <Dr_willis> ftab,  wich one for what? theres a great many emulator in the repos. check the package manager.    Theres proberly more out that are not in the repos.
[16:40] <PsynoKhi0> jj_: they did mention they resolved flickering.. working as advertised :)
[16:40] <Titan21> sry liam, ... dont know ^^
[16:40] <KruyKaze> Jeruvy: back
[16:40] <Heliodor> hello
[16:40] <gordonjcp> aar: "sudo -i", "sudo su" and "sudo bash" all have slightly different subtle implications
[16:40] <gerber> can't connect remote desktop ?
[16:40] <gordonjcp> aar: mostly you're going to want "sudo -i"
[16:40] <jj_> PsynoKhi0:  at least its progress lol, try running recordmydesktop...
[16:40] <KruyKaze> Jeruvy: just rebooted still same problem
[16:40] <PsynoKhi0> jj_: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[16:40] <liam> ah thats a shame
[16:41] <simion314> for configure kde3 apps (fonts) what package do i need?
[16:41] <jj_> PsynoKhi0: 8.10
[16:41] <liam> when i use the upgrade manager it says it cant find the repositories
[16:41] <Dr_willis> aar,  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo   is also a good read
[16:41] <PsynoKhi0> jj_: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Intrepid_Installation_Guide#Installing_the_restricted_drivers_manually
[16:41] <gerber> can't connect remote desktop ?
[16:41] <liam> so basically i can't upgrade then?
[16:41] <gordonjcp> aar: you shouldn't do "sudo su" because it's bad security practice
[16:41] <PsynoKhi0> jj_: as a last resort, follow those guidelines till the "dkpg -i" part
[16:42] <DJ-phYre> I got a ? regarding filesystems. I am going to be dual-booting between Ubuntu and Windows while using a 1TB drive for storage. What filesystem do I need to put on the 1TB to allow both OS's to read/write data. Are linux NTFS drivers stable?
[16:42] <PsynoKhi0> and use the "dkpg -r" instead
[16:42] <Heliodor> I am having trouble logging in to the ProFTPD server, i have set my username in the config file and the password is properly generated. still it says login failed. Do i need any special permissions on the FTP root, or is this some other error?
[16:42] <gerald> hi
[16:42] <gordonjcp> aar: *but* - it's like using a piece of machinery with the safety covers removed - sometimes you just need to, but you must know what you're doing
[16:42] <gerald> hi everyone
[16:42] <orudie> hi, really need help on this, I need to make sure that i have lenny version of libc6 (2.7.18)
[16:42] <gerber> can't connect remote desktop ?
[16:42] <tenang> do i want to download .deb or .tar with intrepid?
[16:42] <jj_> PsynoKhi0: i install every driver with the shell command "sudo apt-get sh......."
[16:43] <CAiRO__> does somebody know where i can get the desktop kernel with pae enabled?
[16:43] <melinux> #ubuntu-it
[16:43] <gordonjcp> tenang: depends what you want to di with it
[16:43] <jj_> PsynoKhi0: any difference when using another way?
[16:43] <yoyoned> orudie: why would you want a lenny package
[16:43] <liam> can anyone else help?
[16:43] <orudie> yoyoned because it is needed by a game server that i run on my server
[16:43] <PsynoKhi0> jj_: and I follow the unofficial wiki's method... I'm happy with fglrx, you're not... seeing any trend? heheh
[16:44] <s0u][ight> hello can someone who has a standard ubuntu installation give me what echo $PATH gives
[16:44] <yoyoned> liam: there is a way to do it.  It was discussed in the chat last nite, but I don't remember any of the links.
[16:44] <Dillizar> on witch torrent client i can choose witch file i want to be downloaded
[16:44] <Benj79> atlef it's all fixed - thanks
[16:44] <gerald> how do i install drivers for my lexmark 1200 series printer
[16:44] <jj_> PsynoKhi0: yea im beginning to see haha
[16:44] <atlef> Benj79: good for you
[16:44] <PsynoKhi0> jj_: seriously, that what I can think of based on the error message you dropped in the pastebin
[16:44] <liam> right
[16:45] <liam> so where you reckon i can go then?
[16:45] <gerald> can someone help me
[16:45] <PsynoKhi0> jj_: build the packages and then use dpkg to remove the ones that are installed on your comp
[16:45] <Mnemonic69> echo $PATH /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
[16:45] <gerald> liam can u help me
[16:45] <PsynoKhi0> jj_: might be far fetched but in your case... not much to lose eh?
[16:46] <liam> gerald cant even help myself lol
[16:46] <aar_> s0u][ight, /home/foo/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
[16:46]  * revourbis Hello!
[16:46] <gerald> lol
[16:46] <jj_> PsynoKhi0: i think building is better imo, seems to work with your computer a little better
[16:46] <PsynoKhi0> jj_: though the wiki doesn't mention the amdxvlibsomething that builds in the process
[16:46] <Benj79> so i just setup dual monitors, and i can move my mouse from one screen to the next, but apparently not program windows - is that normal?
[16:46] <gerald> no but seriously i need help with my lexmark printer
[16:46] <PsynoKhi0> jj_: so make sure you incled all packages in the dpkg -r line
[16:46] <orudie> yoyoned so can you help me on this ? right now it shows that i have libc6          2.8
[16:47] <PsynoKhi0> brb
[16:47] <Jeruvy> KruyKaze: something with your interfaces file is not correct.  Ifdown eth0 is clearly telling us that.
[16:47] <liam> yoyoned can you remember any sites at all that were dicussed?
[16:47] <gerber> i been here for 20 minute ,all ask question , but no one really answer not even one
[16:48] <yoyoned> liam: no, but they were in the ubuntu wiki.  The channel Op Flannel was the one who knwo them
[16:48] <gerald> does anyone know bout printers on ubuntu
[16:48] <liam> right
[16:48] <gerber> i been here for 20 minute ,all ask question , but no one really answer not even one
[16:48] <liam> i'll take a look but meanwhile does any one else know this: hey just installed ubuntu 7.04 but having trouble upgrading to latest ubuntu. how can i do this?
[16:48] <KruyKaze> Jeruvy: i don't get why all my wired connections are greyed out today
[16:48] <Dr_willis> gerald,  cups.org is the defacto site to see how well supported a printer is...  most all mine work with no hassles..
[16:48] <yoyoned> orudie: I don't think you can install multiple versions
[16:49] <gerald> ive got a lexmark 1200 series
[16:50] <Dr_willis> gerald, i would look up that model at cups.org and the ubuntu forums then - if you are having issues with it.
[16:50] <|TheBarold|> rdw200169: FYI, i got it figured out, went into Synaptic and removed the deb file i installed, then re-installed from Synaptic and now it works
[16:50] <|TheBarold|> rdw200169: also, would have helped if i had the usb cord plugged into the pc :O
[16:50] <yoyoned> liam: see if this will get you to 7.10, then you cag go up from there
[16:51] <yoyoned> liam: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades
[16:51] <atlef> for those with virtualbox problems after the kernel update, do this : sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
[16:51] <DJ-phYre> I got a ? regarding filesystems. I am going to be dual-booting between Ubuntu and Windows while using a 1TB drive for storage. What filesystem do I need to put on the 1TB to allow both OS's to read/write data. Are linux NTFS drivers stable?
[16:51] <gerald> thanz alot mr willis
[16:51] <atlef> DJ-phYre: yes they are
[16:52] <Jeruvy> KruyKaze: the only thing I could suggest is installing ethertool, and see if that can detect your hardware better.
[16:52] <miha> atlef: writing to NTFS too? that long was problem
[16:52] <miha> and you definetly cant write to hibernated NTFS partition
[16:52] <KruyKaze> Jeruvy: in repos?
[16:52] <guntur_roxx> hey all
[16:52] <guntur_roxx> i want to ask something
[16:52] <liam> yoyoned tried that but i think those packages have expired
[16:52] <guntur_roxx> can anybody help me?
[16:52] <Jeruvy> KruyKaze: should be 'sudo apt-get install ethertool'
[16:52]  * revourbis Anyone having that problem in wich Kubuntu wown't play Mp3's? Advice: upgrade to intrepid.
[16:52] <liam> i think i''ll have to download the full iso and upgrade from cd
[16:52] <Dr_willis> miha,  well.. :) its not  reccomended.. :)
[16:52] <yoyoned> DJ-phYre: basicly only 2 choices ntfs or vfat
[16:52] <liam> do you reckont that's my best option?
[16:52] <miha> Dr_willis: lol
[16:52] <Dr_willis> There are ext2/3 drivers for windows.. but ive had issues with those
[16:52] <yoyoned> liam: can you backup and do a clean reinstall
[16:53] <typokitty> /irc.rizon.de
[16:53] <KruyKaze> Jeruvy: Couldn't find package ethertool
[16:53] <miha> Dr_willis: i am using development build of amsn that supports audio. it's not recommended yet though. it isnt too reliable, yet
[16:53] <miha> Dr_willis: but it kinda works :)
[16:53] <liam> looks like i may have to yoyoned
[16:53] <atlef> Dr_willis: so have I
[16:53] <liam> not a good first impression of ubuntu so far
[16:53] <guntur_roxx> somebody help me??
[16:53] <guntur_roxx> Hey there..
[16:53] <guntur_roxx> I'm Guntur from Indonesia
[16:53] <guntur_roxx> I want to install ubuntu 8.10 in my desktop pc..
[16:53] <guntur_roxx> i use windows xp..
[16:53] <guntur_roxx> i do boot the ubuntu 8.10 cd that i created from the iso file..
[16:53] <guntur_roxx> n ubuntu installation menu come out.. i click the install ubuntu.
[16:53] <FloodBot1> guntur_roxx: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:53] <Jeruvy> KruyKaze: hmm, oh (bad memory) etherconf :)
[16:54] <miha> Dr_willis: i think best setup is to have primary NTFS for windows, razer or ext3 for linux and smaller, vfat partition to copy between two
[16:54] <KruyKaze> Jeruvy: i have ethtool installed
[16:54] <Dr_willis> miha,  unless you transfer 4+GB sized files around like i do..   I just use ntfs on a 'data' drive
[16:54] <miha> hehe
[16:54] <miha> ok
[16:55] <atlef> miha: well fat does not support large files, as in 4gb limitation
[16:55] <Jeruvy> miha: or use NFS
[16:55] <miha> atlef: okey some dvd images wont work, rest should, for me
[16:55] <miha> hehe

[16:55] <XB23> when i do  apt-get autoremove  it removes packages that i still need, is there a way to clear it so it wont remove things i still need?
[16:55] <gerald> can anybody tell me where can i find a lexmark x1200 PDD file
[16:55] <atlef> miha: hehe
[16:55] <miha> XB23: it removes libraries that arent needed by any package
[16:55] <miha> it should be 'safe', i guess
[16:56] <atlef> miha: as long as it works for you, then.........
[16:56] <yoyoned> XB23: just apt-get install them after you aoutremove
[16:56] <XB23> but the libs are still needed
[16:56] <Jeruvy> XB23: don't use autoremove, just do the packages you wish to remove normally
[16:56] <XB23> theres loads though
[16:56] <XB23> kk
[16:56] <yoyoned> gerald: linuxprinting.org
